Darren Sun gave a wink, and the middle-aged man who had gone to get the table stood up and took the bracelet in his hand.
"I'd like to have it appraised. Mr. Gu, don't you mind?" Darren Sun exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled with his eyes narrowed.
Everyone is in the system, so it is impossible for them to say such bandit talk as "If you break it a little, you will pay with your life". Ethan Gu just said casually and leaned back in his chair waiting for Darren Sun's people to come and identify it.
The game was suspended again. The professional quality of the dealer this time was much higher than that of Brandon Chen. When he saw that the two sides had reached an agreement, he immediately put down his cards and stepped back from the table, which was a sign of respect and to avoid anyone suspecting that he had done something dirty afterwards.
The middle-aged man was out for about ten minutes. When he came back, he whispered something in Darren Sun's ear.
Darren Sun was silent for a while, waved his hand and asked him to sit back, and took the bracelet and put it in the pile of chips in the middle of the card game: "Carrying millions with you, Master Gu is very generous."
"It's not as generous as Young Master Sun's in praising celebrities." Ethan Gu said.
It was unknown what these words reminded Darren Sun of, but he calmed down again, showing a warm smile and saying: "Mr. Gu is right, love is more precious than gold. Go on, I'll give you three million." The last sentence was addressed to the dealer, and three million was the estimated value of the bracelet.
The dealer bowed again and returned to the table to continue dealing the cards.
The third card turned over, Darren Sun had the K of hearts and Ethan Gu had the 3 of diamonds.
"Follow." Darren Sun.
"Follow." Ethan Gu.
The fourth turn card, Darren Sun's King of Hearts and Ethan Gu's Five of Diamonds.
continue.
The fifth river card, Darren Sun's K of clubs, Ethan Gu's Ace of diamonds.
Darren Sun looked at the cards on the table for a while and said, "Add."
6000000!
Ethan Gu's expression remained indifferent, and he signaled the dealer to follow.
As the gambling game progressed, all the people who were playing cards and drinking before gathered around the gambling table.
Jordan Wei exchanged the wine beside him for a cup of tea. Ten million per round, the three of them had no shortage of money, but whoever lost the bet tonight would lose a lot. He glanced at Darren Sun, then fixed his eyes on Ethan Gu.
Ethan Gu was playing with the jade token in his hand. When he noticed Jordan Wei's gaze, he turned around and smiled at him.
Just at this moment, Darren Sun's voice rang out: "Turn over."
Cube 2!
Darren Sun felt a little regretful, but also a little relieved. He had lost 25 games in a row, and he hadn't found anything wrong after checking just now. At this moment, he was still calm on the surface, but he was really a little scared in his heart. Seeing that the opponent had three identical public cards, he began to worry that the opponent would turn over a straight flush.
Ethan Gu also turned over a card, still 2, 2 of clubs.
Now there is only one card left.
The ringing of a cell phone suddenly broke the silence on the second floor. Just when the crowd around the card table was slightly agitated, Ethan Gu took out his cell phone, picked up the phone, and just after two hums, the person on the other end hung up.
He didn't care. He hung up the phone and said to Jordan Wei, "Minister Gu sent me instructions. I have to go back." He glanced at the card table and said, "Should I follow or give up... or just call it a day?"
There is a deeper meaning in Ethan Gu's words!
Darren Sun narrowed his eyes slightly. He himself didn't believe that he had much chance of winning the game. But he had checked the dealer, the table, the room, the props, and everything. There was no problem.
Is it really the difference between luck and card skills?
He doesn't believe it, and no one believes it.
"When we all come out to play, no one would give up halfway through. Young Master Gu seems to be looking down on me." Darren Sun said with a smile, flicking the ash from his cigarette. "We have to follow Minister Gu's instructions, but a minute or two won't make a difference..." He saw out of the corner of his eye that the middle-aged man sitting next to him had been making secret gestures at him. This was the man he brought back from a foreign casino. He was proficient in both good and evil games, and his professional quality was impeccable, but there were some things he just didn't understand.
It was only 10 million. If he could afford to gamble, he could afford to lose! As long as he was still in this circle, as long as he wanted to be one of the top players in this circle, let alone the first 10 million, even the second and third 10 million, he would be able to throw them all away if he dared to leave the table.
Even if I throw it all away, I have to keep up this dignity!
"and."
The last card is turned over.
7 of diamonds. Three kings and two scattered cards. At this time, Darren Sun didn't care about winning or losing. He just watched Ethan Gu flip the cards. He even silently counted 4 in his mind, 4 of hearts, 4 of spades, 4 of clubs, 4 of diamonds...
4 of Diamonds!
The last card was turned over, and the high and low exhalations from all around gathered into a loud wave of sound.
In comparison, the two people at the poker table seemed much calmer.
Darren Sun even felt that Ethan Gu knew the result from the beginning, but he still showed his grace at the first opportunity: "Good luck tonight, Mr. Gu. The money will be transferred to Mr. Gu's account tomorrow morning."
"Well, Young Master Sun's luck tonight is actually not bad." Ethan Gu said, and then turned to Jordan Wei, "Do you have anything to do later? How about I take a taxi?"
Mr. Gu, I can actually send it to you when I have time... At this moment, I was not the only one thinking this!
Unfortunately, Jordan Wei has always been the one who takes on such tasks. After Ethan Gu finished speaking, he continued: "It's a good thing that I have nothing to do. That's enough for today, right?" The latter sentence was addressed to the people around him.
"It's okay, it's okay. We are almost leaving." The people around them quickly expressed their opinions and surrounded Jordan Wei and Ethan Gu as they walked out of Qianhe Pavilion.
The group of people filed through the stone corridor. When they were near the hanging flower gate, Darren Sun, who had lagged behind, finally caught up. He didn't waste any words. When he saw Ethan Gu, he said meaningfully: "Minister Gu gave instructions at the last minute. We didn't have a good time tonight. Next time, ask Young Master Gu to come out. Young Master Gu must show his favor."
Ethan Gu stopped and continued in the same tone: "Young Master Sun's invitation must be on time."
The group of people walked all the way to the lobby and saw the lobby manager saying something with a forced smile in front of another group of people.
The two groups of people passed each other across an indoor fountain. Ethan Gu glanced casually in the direction of the group and happened to meet the eyes of the man standing in the middle of the group.
"What are you looking at?" Jordan Wei, who was talking to Ethan Gu, didn't get an answer, so he asked while looking in the direction the other person was looking.
Someone nearby looked at the same place as Ethan Gu and said hurriedly, "That's Mr. He."
Jordan Wei also saw the other party now. He frowned and didn't say anything immediately. Instead, he waited until he separated from the crowd and got the car before saying to Ethan Gu: "Blake. You probably don't know him. He just came after you went abroad. He is from the He family."
"What's wrong with him?" Ethan Gu raised his eyes and asked.
"This person is a bit dangerous." Jordan Wei frowned slightly, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. "Although no one has really caught any evidence...some of the things he did may have crossed the line."
"oh?"
"And his life is very chaotic." Jordan Wei added, with some disgust on his face, "He doesn't care about men or women, he's a frequent visitor to carnival parties, and he also likes extreme sports. I've seen him a few times, and he'll get himself into trouble sooner or later with this kind of play." When Jordan Wei was with Ethan Gu, he spoke more casually, not half-speaking and half-hiding as usual, "By the way, why did you suddenly pay attention to him?"
"I just happened to see it." Ethan Gu smiled slightly.
"That's Master Wei and Master Gu."
When Jordan Wei and Ethan Gu were talking about Blake, the people around Blake also said to him carefully: "Mr. Gu was the same as Mr. Wei before, he was also the first in the circle. But he went abroad three years ago and there has been no news since then. I didn't expect him to suddenly appear here today."
"Ethan Gu?" Blake said to himself with interest. This 22-year-old man, judging from his appearance, was no less handsome than those male stars on the screen who attracted thousands of fans. He also had a family background that those people could not even dream of. He was from the He family in Beijing, even if he was not a direct descendant of He Nanshan.
As they were talking, they walked through the back garden and entered the small building. The boy who was staying inside jumped up from his seat as if he had touched a spring.
Blake smiled, walked up and pinched the other person's face affectionately.
But the boy, who looked to be about ten years old, didn't seem to be used to it and dodged a few times in embarrassment.
People around him were no longer surprised. Those who knew Blake knew about his problem: he liked to mess with students, the cleaner they looked, the better, and he would replace them within three months.
However, although the players were changed frequently, when they first got started, He Shao was not reluctant to show his consideration. After a few rounds of drinking, all the wine that was originally supposed to be drunk by the boy next to him went into Blake's stomach. He then followed everyone and drank a glass of red wine, pinching the chin of the boy next to him and pouring it into his mouth.
The boy was eating obediently. He was choked and coughed up tears. He finally straightened up and saw Blake pointing at him and laughing:
"It tastes good, but I wonder if the young master of the Gu family can have this good taste."
At this moment, the time around the table seemed to have been suddenly paused, and all sounds and movements stopped.
Jordan Wei's car was slowly driving towards Tianrui Garden.
They were inspected at the foot of the mountain as required. Because it was night, Ethan Gu and Jordan Wei were shone a flashlight in the face several times by the guards at the gate before they were allowed to pass.
The road winds up the mountain, and the lush forests block the hustle and bustle of the city. Jordan Wei parked the car in front of his house (their two families live next door to each other), thought for a moment and said to Ethan Gu: "How about I go with you to see Uncle Gu?"
"What are you going to do?" Ethan Gu looked at Jordan Wei in surprise.
"Say hello first, and then say that I went abroad to bring you back." Jordan Wei said.
Ethan Gu was speechless for a long time: "I think you have been taking the blame for me since you were a child. Come on, stay here for a while. I'll go in for a while and I guess I'll come out later."
"Come out again?" Based on Jordan Wei's understanding of the Gu family over the years, this sentence meant that Ethan Gu would be kicked out later. He said, "How about you make some noise if it really doesn't work later?"
"Then?"
"I'll go in on time."
"...good brother." Ethan Gu was a little amused at first, and then slowly felt touched. This sudden emotion made him look like he was injected with vitality, covering up his previous silence and carelessness, and the whole person seemed to be alive. "I will not forget you."
"You won't forget to let me take the blame for you?" Jordan Wei joked while holding the steering wheel. Then he leaned out of the car window and called Ethan Gu, who had already walked a few steps: "Xiao Zhou!"
"Um?"
"Uncle Gu is not young anymore, please don't make him angry too much."
"Got it." Ethan Gu turned his back to Jordan Wei and said from a distance.
