Chapter 213: Chapter 0213: Please Book a Room

Su Xiaoxi was incredibly sharp and, upon seeing Tang Ming’s expression, knew that this guy was definitely going to cheat as well and immediately felt relieved; yet she still purposefully said, "Humph, if you don’t believe it, fine, you’ll know I wasn’t lying when you lose miserably in a moment."

She stepped to the side and completely let go, while Sun Zhuangjia and Ma Zhisong were inwardly laughing with joy. Tang Ming was asking for it, having been warned yet still so blinded by arrogance. Soon, he’d lose so badly he wouldn’t even have his underwear left!

However, they harbored no suspicion, as when it came to money winners, especially someone like Tang Ming who had just won big, all advice was futile!

"Should we make the transfer via card?"

Tang Ming asked Sun Zhuangjia.

"No problem, isn’t it just a million?"

Sun Zhuangjia whipped out his mobile phone and immediately transferred the money to Tang Ming’s card.

After losing his wallet last time, Sun Zhuangjia had installed online banking on his phone for unexpected needs. Thus, a press of his fingerprint and the money was transferred. In less than a minute, Tang Ming received two messages on his phone adding up to two million!

He instantly burst out with laughter, enjoying taking these fools’ money more than beating them up.

"Continue?"

Seeing how happy Tang Ming was, Sun Zhuangjia pointed disdainfully at the playing cards and asked.

"Of course."

This time it was Tang Ming’s turn to deal. Sun Zhuangjia and Ma Zhisong couldn’t cheat and had to rely on luck.

But after one round, Tang Ming happened to outscore them slightly, winning another two million.

With Tang Ming winning two rounds in a row, it clearly wasn’t just good luck. Sun Zhuangjia wasn’t a fool, and he started to suspect that Tang Ming might also know how to cheat.

"Oh, no wonder this guy wasn’t scared. Turns out he knows some tricks too."

Sun Zhuangjia was fuming inside, looking at Tang Ming with his beaming smile, wanting to give him a good thrashing!

Ma Zhisong watched Tang Ming happily staring at his phone and whispered to Sun Zhuangjia, "Brother Sun, this guy is an expert."

"You bet, he’s totally conned us! Damn, we’ve lost almost four million to him. What a huge loss."

Sun Zhuangjia regretfully said, "Money is one thing, but we can’t let this slide."

"Brother Sun, shall we switch the game up?"

Ma Zhisong suggested.

"What game? He knows how to cheat, there’s no way to play." Sun Zhuangjia rolled his eyes, somewhat helpless.

"Let’s play Fight the Landlord then. No one can cheat, the cards are completely dealt out, and any cheating would be obvious. We’ll just gamble on luck against him."

Ma Zhisong stated fiercely.

"Alright, let’s play Fight the Landlord. We can’t let him shuffle, we must find someone neutral. That way he can’t cheat, and with us two against one, he has no chance of not losing everything!"

Sun Zhuangjia smirked, believing he had come up with a clever plan.

Tang Ming saw the money notification on his phone, grinned foolishly with joy, and Su Xiaoxi leaned over to take a look, commenting disdainfully, "Is four million really worth getting this excited over?"

"Of course I’m happy, I won money. What, should I be crying instead?"

Tang Ming laughed heartily.

"Share some with me later."

Su Xiaoxi cunningly said.

"Share some?"

Tang Ming replied,

"How about I treat you all instead?"

"Treat? Why, going to eat again? I’m not going."

Su Xiaoxi felt smug inside, wondering if Tang Ming asking her out for a treat was a hint of asking her on a date.

Tang Ming quietly said, "I promise it’s not eating."

"Then what is it?"

Su Xiaoxi blushed slightly, wondering if it was a visit to a theme park or a romantic moonlit setting.

"How about getting a room?"

Tang Ming joked.

Su Xiaoxi’s face turned completely red, realizing Tang Ming was teasing her, and she retorted angrily, "Get a room your big-headed ghost."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Xiaoxi walked aside to drink a beverage, avoiding any chance for Tang Ming to spout nonsense later.

Ma Zhisong, having heard something about "getting a room" and other sensitive phrases, couldn’t help but laugh and asked Tang Ming, "What’s this about getting a room?"

"Can such things be discussed in detail?"

Tang Ming smiled.

Sun Zhuangjia was furious. There was no way Tang Ming would actually use the money he lost to get a room with Su Xiaoxi, could he? That would be too demeaning for him.

"No way, I must make this bastard embarrass himself and leave Xiaoxi for good."

Sun Zhuangjia made up his mind fiercely.

Tang Ming turned his head, unaware of Sun Zhuangjia’s thoughts, and while shuffling the cards, he asked, "Shall we continue playing?"

"Play, of course we’re playing."

Ma Zhisong said, "But playing just ’Zhajinhua’ is too boring, why not play ’Fight the Landlord’ instead?"

"Fight the Landlord? How do you play that?"

Tang Ming didn’t care what they played, as the banquet was boring anyway. He’d rather fleece these two easy marks for some extra cash.

Actually, he had to thank Su Xiaoxi for that. If it weren’t for her, these easy marks wouldn’t have shown up.

Ma Zhisong explained the rules of ’Fight the Landlord’ to Tang Ming briefly, then asked, "Got it now?"

"Tang, don’t you think of yourself as extremely smart? Such a simple game as ’Fight the Landlord’, you should understand it after one explanation, right?"

Sun Zhuangjia also deliberately provoked him.

They wanted to take advantage of Tang Ming’s unfamiliarity with the rules to make him lose miserably in one go.

"Got it. Such a simple thing, one look and I’ve got it,"

Tang Ming said carelessly.

"Then let’s start."

Sun Zhuangjia’s expression turned dark, his heart weighed down, as he directly had a subordinate switch to a new deck of cards.

Previously, they had been playing ’Zhajinhua’ which didn’t use jokers, but now switching to ’Fight the Landlord,’ they needed jokers, so changing the cards was perfectly justifiable.

After changing the cards, Tang Ming asked, "How big are we playing?"

"A flat rate of a hundred thousand, you can double it before seeing the cards,"

Sun Zhuangjia said aggressively.

"Doubling can go on endlessly, can’t it?"

Tang Ming asked, puzzled.

"Each person can only call double once, like a hundred thousand base, and each of the three calls once, making it only eight hundred thousand,"

Ma Zhisong explained nonchalantly.

"Oh, playing big."

Tang Ming looked a bit worried, but inside he was thrilled. ’Fight the Landlord’, such a straightforward game, barely anyone doesn’t know it. You can play it on any computer by just logging in with an account. He was just bluffing these two easy marks earlier, letting them think they had an advantage, little did they know, they were digging themselves into a deeper pit.

"If you know let’s start,"

Sun Zhuangjia said sternly.

"Wait, let’s have someone else deal the cards, or you’ll accuse us of cheating and teaming up against you again,"

Ma Zhisong suggested, pretending to consider Tang Ming’s feelings.

Sun Zhuangjia agreed, "Right, we definitely need someone else."

After thinking for a bit, Tang Ming pointed at Qin Kong and said, "Then let him deal."

"Me?"

Qin Kong was instantly surprised, and so were Sun Zhuangjia and Ma Zhisong.

Qin Kong was in cahoots with them. Why wouldn’t Tang Ming choose someone unrelated, like any random waiter, instead of picking Qin Kong? Was he seeking his own ruin? Was he foolish?

"Hehe, this kid doesn’t know that Qin Kong, like us, is skilled in trickery. If you’re seeking your doom, you can’t blame us then,"

Ma Zhisong thought with a sneer.
