Chapter 39: Bitterness Ends in Sweetness

  In the second round, Wang Haodong was dealt a bad hand again. He followed suit and threw in 100 chips. After looking at his cards, he found them to be very bad and gave up. In this round, there was a middle-aged man who went all-in with a straight flush, competing fiercely with Lei Weibin, throwing in 300,000 chips. In the end, Lei Weibin revealed his hand, surprisingly also having a straight flush, with the highest card being J, while the middle-aged man's highest card was only 7, naturally losing the game.

  The middle-aged man lost all night and lost 50,000 yuan. He wanted to borrow money, Wang Kai brought the money, but then he received a call from his wife saying that his son was ill and needed to go to the hospital, so he decided to leave and didn't lend it after all.

  Wang Kai personally saw the man off, and the mahjong game on the second floor continued.

  The third round, Wang Hao Dong was a rotten card and threw it away. After Wang Kai sent someone back, Lei Wei Bin said: "Ah Kai, Lao Qin is gone, why don't you make up for it?"

  "Go ahead." Wang Kai was a gambler and had been watching for a while, he couldn't bear it anymore. After a slight hesitation, he joined the gamble again.

  Fourth round, the big blind was 100 yuan, Xiao Jiang followed with 100 yuan. Lei Weibin saw that no one had given up or looked at their cards, and smiled: "It seems everyone wants to take a chance, okay, I'll raise it to 500."

  He didn't even look at his cards and raised the bet. As they say, "the more money you have, the bolder you are." He won 100,000 yuan tonight with a huge bet.

  The bet reached 500, and the next one would be 1,000. When it was the bald man's turn, he looked at his cards and gave up without following. Xiaofeng still didn't look at her cards and followed with a blind bet of 500. Wang Kai also looked at his cards and smiled slightly, following with a bet of 1,000.

  When it was Wang Haodong's turn, he took a look at the cards and saw that they were all trash. The largest one was only 10, so he simply threw away his hand and gave up his right to play. He sighed in his heart, thinking that this game of poker was quite ruthless, with the minimum loss being 50 yuan each time. Was it possible that he just wasn't having good luck tonight?

  After a few more rounds, the players in the room were left with only Wang Kai and Lei Weibin. The others had all folded their cards. Lei Weibin looked at his cards, smiled, and threw in 1,000 yuan, saying: "My cards aren't great, but since it's just me and Ah Kai left, I'll throw in 2,000 yuan to see your cards. Let's compare."

  "I'm against A." Wang Kai directly flipped over the card.

  Lei Weibin said: "I am for 6."

  Wang Kai won this round and won 5,000 yuan in one go, looking extremely happy.

  In the following games, Wang Haodong kept losing and was ridiculed by that woman, saying he was just a soy sauce maker. He was very annoyed in his heart, but did not erupt, after all, she was also a guest of the scene, belonging to their food and clothing parents. If it were in another situation, he would have exploded long ago.

  After several rounds of buffering, Wang Haodong never got a good hand and lost about 500 yuan. Xiaofeng won several thousand yuan, Wang Kai won several thousand yuan, Xiaofeng's lover lost several hundred yuan, Lei Weibin lost 5,000 yuan, the bald man won several hundred yuan, and others were similar to Wang Haodong, playing a supporting role.

  "Am I going to lose money all the time?"

  Wang Haodong muttered to himself, another opening, Wang Haodong only had his own 500 yuan in hand, followed by a dark note, and directly looked at the card, suddenly found that it was three bars of K, damn, it's a leopard, this time I'm going to kill four sides.

  In the game of Exploding Flowers, the probability of getting a leopard is very low. Wang Haodong had been losing money all along and finally got three Ks, so he was naturally extremely happy.

  However, he knew many old hands would observe other players' facial expressions to judge the size of their cards, so he didn't show anything on his face. On the contrary, he slightly furrowed his brow and hesitated for a long time until that woman called Xiaofeng urged him, and then reluctantly followed with a hand.

  At this time, the big blind reached 100 yuan. Wang Hao Dong looked at his cards and considered it a good hand, so he doubled the bet to 200 yuan.

  "I won before and I'll win again, I raise." Wang Kai chuckled and added 300 chips to the bet. Lei Wei smiled and said: "That's not enough, add another 200."

  So, the bet became 500, and Wang Hao Dong was very happy in his heart. The more they added to the bet, the more he won.

  Xiao Feng continued to go all-in with a poker face, following the bet of 500.

  Another man looked at his cards, hesitated for a moment, and followed with a bet of 1,000. When it was the turn of the bald-headed man, he took a glance at his cards, cursed "rubbish", and threw away his cards. Meanwhile, Xiaofeng's man was drinking beer while secretly following with a bet of 500.

  When it was Wang Haodong's turn, he hesitated for a moment and continued to follow suit.

  Wang Kai followed with a bet, Lei Weibin also followed with a bet. Xiaofeng took a look at the cards and a hint of joy flashed in the corner of her eyes, she also followed with 1,000 yuan. Xiao Jiang looked at his cards and smiled: "Not bad, 1,000."

  "Alas, a pair of eights isn't even worth 1,000 yuan, and I've lost it." Xiao Jiang's family members couldn't help but smile wryly. He had been losing money all along, perhaps feeling that he couldn't win anymore, so he deliberately threw away the pair of eights and even flipped over the cards to show everyone, and indeed they were a pair of eights.

  "You've lost big time." Wang Haodong muttered to himself.

  Lei Weibin immediately burst out with profanity, "Damn it, such a good hand was lost, what a pity."

  Then there was another round, and another hidden card was seen, the cards were thrown away, and the chips in the center of the table had already reached 10,000.

  Now the people participating in the game are Wang Hao Dong, Wang Kai, Lei Wei Bin, Xiao Feng and her boyfriend. Wang Hao Dong got three cards, which is equivalent to using his underwear as a bet, but he still continues to follow without changing his expression.

  Wang Kai took a look, slammed the table, "Damn it, I've been following until now, trash brand, damn it." He threw away his cards and gave up his right, stood up, "Today's luck is not good, I'm not playing anymore."

  Wang Hao Dong calculated that Wang Kai won some with the gold flower explosion and lost some with the card nine, carefully calculating that it was more or less a draw.

  After Wang Kai left, there were only four people on the scene, namely Wang Haodong, Lei Weibin, Xiaofeng and her lover.

  Xiao Feng had already seen through their scheme and coldly sneered: "One of you three wants to steal a chicken."

  In the upper city, stealing chickens means cheating, and the "explosion" in Exploding Gold Flowers also implies a meaning of cheating, which is to bluff people. Some masters can even scare away decent pairs with a handful of trash cards and win money. When encountering a master, it requires clever operation to achieve this goal.

  At this time, Lei Weibin was still in the dark card, Xiaofeng's man was also in the dark card, and only Wang Haodong and Xiaofeng were in the bright card. Her words had a hint, of course, she couldn't say he was stealing chickens, which meant that Wang Haodong was stealing chickens.

  Wang Haodong had tolerated her for a long time, and the cold ridicule had already choked back a belly full of fire. Upon hearing this, he said, "Whether or not you're stealing chickens, just take a look and you'll know."

  "Harmony brings wealth, Xiaofeng. Don't waste words." Xiaofeng's man scolded her with a frown and continued to stare at her.

  It's Wang Haodong's turn to follow the bet, and he naturally continues to follow. The bet has already reached its limit, and there is no way to add more chips. He thinks to himself, if this were a bigger game, I could have gone all-in with one million, and that's exactly what I would have done.

  "Who steals a chicken knows it, I come to fight a fake." Lei Weibin said with a smile, and started adding again, the secret note actually reached one thousand.

  Wang Kai said on one side: "Just now I said that the maximum stake is 500, and it can't be added anymore."

  Lei Weibin patted his forehead, "Oh, I forgot."

  "It's okay as long as we all agree." Little Feng said immediately after, her tone was like that, she must have gotten a good hand.

  What does she mean, naturally someone knows, her man originally always concealed his hand, heard the words and took a look at the cards, directly threw away the bad cards, mouth said: "I give up, you three decide whether to add chips or not."

  Lei Weibin asked: "Hao Dong, what do you mean?"

  Wang Hao Dong had not spoken yet, Wang Kai took his card and looked at it for a moment before putting it down. He didn't say anything, he was letting Wang Hao Dong make the decision.

  Wang Haodong has a leopard, no reason not to agree, otherwise it's a big fool. Of course, he guessed that Xiaofeng's stake must be considerable, or else he wouldn't ask for an add-on.

  "Alright, I agree." Wang Hao Dong patted the cash that Wang Kai gave him and said: "At worst, I'll just lose all this money."

  "Alright, I'll add 2,000 then." Lei Weibin chuckled, "The total stake is now 4,000, you'd better think carefully about it."

  "You're a dark horse, what are you afraid of?" Little Feng scratched his head and said with a grin.

  "Little girl, place your bets, the more you bet, the more you'll lose." Wang Haodong muttered to himself, estimating his opponent's cards, definitely not a small amount of chips, at least a golden flower, that's why he was so arrogant.

  The secret bets amount to two thousand, and the open bets are four thousand.

  Wang Haodong threw in 4,000 yuan, and Lei Weibin looked at Wang Haodong with suspicion, saying: "Following all the time, it must be a big deal, maybe even a leopard is possible."

  "It's impossible." Xiaofeng said closely behind her.

  "No matter what's possible or not, I can't hide my cards anymore." Lei Weibin said, looking at his own cards, his face changing from cloudy to sunny, and after a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Four of a kind, I'm out."

  Xiao Feng smiled and said: "Maybe Wang Haodong is stealing chickens, and his egg is not as big as yours."

  "Don't fool me anymore, this time I'm going all-in, you guys play." Lei Weibin directly threw away his cards.

  Now there were only Wang Haodong and Xiaofeng on the table, Wang Haodong looked at her, licked his lips and said: "Do we start dealing or continue?"

  "Xiao Feng shouted: 'I won't open it.'"

  "Then let's continue." Wang Haodong sneered, throwing all the chips over. Someone next to him counted the money, a total of 3,200 yuan.

  Xiao Feng also followed 3,200, and finally added another 2,000.

  Wang Hao Dong's table had no more money on it. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Kai handed him a stack of cash and said, "Continue following."

  Seeing Wang Kai doing this, Xiao Feng hesitated for a moment. At this time, even if he was an idiot, he should have known that Wang Haodong's face was not small. When she hesitated, Lei Weibin said: "There is a good show to watch."

  "And it's going to be a great show."

  Xiaofeng's man directly took Xiaofeng's card and looked at it, saying: "Why don't you each add 3,000 yuan and open the card face? How about that?"

  "No way." Wang Haodong directly refused.

  According to the rules, if one of the last two households is unwilling to show their cards, they must put down the maximum amount of chips before showing. It was previously agreed that the maximum for this round would be 50,000 yuan. Since Wang Haodong insisted on this, he had to add more money, and the chips on the table had to reach 50,000 before showing.

  "Hey, are you scared?" Little Feng was unhappy and called out to Wang Kai, "Ah Kai, put a chip on the table."

  Wang Kai went to check and found that there were 28,000 yuan inside, still short of 22,000 yuan to reach 50,000.

  Lei Weibin said: "Each of you take out 11,000 yuan and let's see who has the best hand."

  Wang Haodong had no objection and nodded in agreement. Xiaofeng also seemed to be going all out, adding 11,000 yuan with her man and throwing it onto the table.

  Bang.

  Xiao Feng slammed the card on the table, "I'm Golden Flower."

  Everyone looked over and indeed it was a golden flower, red peach 8, red peach 10, red peach J.

  "Not bad Golden Flower, with a high chance of winning." Xiao Jiang expressed his own opinion, looking at Wang Haodong and saying: "Haodong, what's your card?"

  Wang Haodong was still hesitating, deliberately delaying, while Xiaofeng had already stood up impatiently and wanted to pull the chips in the center of the table towards himself. Wang Haodong shouted: "Don't be in a hurry."

  Xiao Feng exclaimed: "Can your golden flower be bigger than mine?"

  Her man frowned and shouted: "No nonsense, show your ID card."

  "Hao Dong, come out!" Wang Kai chuckled.

  Wang Haodong slowly turned over the cards, the first one was a K, the second one was still a K, and the third one was also a K. At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on his cards, and when they saw that it was three Ks, their faces changed color.
