Chapter 15

"What do you want now?" He Liang frowned, looking somewhat annoyed.

Chen Dasheng ignored He Liang and said to Li Puzi, "Shuffle the cards again!"

"Huh?" Li Puzi was a bit puzzled but still turned to seek He Liang's opinion.

"Do as he says!"

He Liang snapped his fingers. In his view, Chen Dasheng was making a desperate last stand. Even if he didn't cheat, his card-counting skills alone were enough to crush Chen Dasheng.

Turning to look at Liu Yunshi, who was standing behind Chen Dasheng, clutching her bag tightly and extremely nervous, He Liang's lips curled into a slight smile. This girl was indeed a rare beauty, and with his extensive experience, he could tell at a glance that Liu Yunshi was still a virgin.

Today's harvest was truly excellent, He Liang thought to himself, feeling very pleased. Such a naive rookie had come to him voluntarily. What position should he use tonight?

Seeing He Liang staring at her, Liu Yunshi quickly shrank back behind Chen Dasheng. While cursing Chen Dasheng in her heart, she was also planning how to escape.

With He Liang's approval, Li Puzi started shuffling the cards again. This time, just like He Liang, Chen Dasheng's eyes were fixed on the cards in Li Puzi's hands from the moment he started shuffling.

Since accepting the inheritance of the Juling Clan, Chen Dasheng could feel that all aspects of his body had been greatly enhanced, not just his strength but also his brain.

Chen Dasheng believed that as the last descendant of the Juling Clan on Earth, his eyesight and memory had also been significantly improved. In the previous few rounds, he hadn't thought about this, just relying on luck to compete with He Liang. But now, he wanted to take this opportunity to test how much his memory had improved.

If it didn't work, he could directly overturn the table and use violence to intimidate, taking Liu Yunshi and Guo Hui away. Although this might be somewhat unrighteous, he wasn't a gangster and didn't need to follow their code of honor.

"Huh?"

Focusing entirely on the cards in Li Puzi's hands, Chen Dasheng suddenly found that Li Puzi's movements seemed to have slowed down, as if in slow motion. One card, then another, slowly mixed and then slowly reorganized.

His brain worked like a computer, quickly processing and storing the images.

Soon, Li Puzi finished shuffling the cards again. Chen Dasheng blinked, his eyes filled with disbelief. He remembered the position of every card in the deck clearly. He was even confident that he could easily recite the order of every card from top to bottom without any mistakes.

His memory had improved so much? Chen Dasheng was excited. He had only wanted to test it, thinking he could remember a few cards at best, given how fast Li Puzi shuffled. But he had easily remembered all the cards.

"Are you ready?" Li Puzi asked Chen Dasheng.

Chen Dasheng came back to his senses, suppressing his excitement, and nodded slightly. Li Puzi then handed the deck to Chen Dasheng to cut.

Chen Dasheng thought for a moment, reached out, and cut a stack, precisely where he wanted, the tenth card from the top.

Starting from here, the cards he would receive would be three 4s, the hardest hand to get in "Zha Jin Hua," also known as a "bomb."

Li Puzi quickly dealt the cards. Chen Dasheng lifted a corner to check, his face expressionless, but he was secretly delighted. Just as he remembered, it was indeed three 4s.

Looking up at He Liang, if Chen Dasheng hadn't remembered wrong, He Liang should have a straight flush of Q, J, 10, a "small plane." His hand would definitely beat He Liang's.

"I wonder if he remembered my cards. If not, this hand should be enough to make him fight to the end, right?" Although he had gotten a good hand, Chen Dasheng still didn't dare to be careless. He Liang could also count cards. If he remembered Chen Dasheng's hand, he wouldn't follow, and Chen Dasheng would only win the pot and the gas money.

It was He Liang's turn to speak, and Chen Dasheng's heart raced, fearing that He Liang wouldn't follow.

"Ten thousand!"

He Liang glanced at his cards and calmly bet ten thousand. Chen Dasheng could clearly see a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"He followed!" Chen Dasheng was extremely excited, almost disbelieving.

Actually, Chen Dasheng had overestimated He Liang. He Liang indeed had an extraordinary memory and could count cards, but remembering the entire deck's order was impossible. He hadn't reached that level yet. The shuffling was too quick, and he could only remember up to twenty-three cards at most.

Don't underestimate these twenty-three cards. If lucky, all three of the opponent's cards could be among them. Even if only one or two, it would significantly increase his chances of winning.

Of the cards in Chen Dasheng's hand, He Liang remembered two, a pair of 4s, but he didn't know the third was also a 4. His own hand was a "small plane," already a strong hand, and the chance of Chen Dasheng getting three 4s was very low. So, he bet ten thousand without hesitation.

"It's your turn!" He Liang placed his bet and, seeing Chen Dasheng's hesitation, thought he was afraid and urged him.

"I'll follow!"

Chen Dasheng came back to his senses, a gentle smile on his face, and threw in ten thousand. At this moment, he even regretted setting the limit at ten thousand.

"Heh!" He Liang chuckled, said nothing, and threw in another ten thousand.

Chen Dasheng was more than happy to match, taking whatever he could get, and followed without showing any emotion.

Ten thousand, another ten thousand, and another ten thousand. Chen Dasheng threw in three of his remaining four ten thousand, leaving him with only ten thousand. But He Liang showed no signs of backing down, clearly determined to match him. However, Chen Dasheng had to stop because he had no more money, only a little over ten thousand left.

"Ten thousand, let's see!" Chen Dasheng threw in his last stack of money, leaving only a small pile of loose change. Although reluctant, he had to choose to reveal his cards.

"Chen Dasheng!" Liu Yunshi grabbed Chen Dasheng's shoulder, her long nails almost digging into his flesh.

"Don't worry, girl. You're my woman, and I won't let you go to anyone else!" Chen Dasheng turned to look at her pale face and couldn't resist patting her buttocks lecherously.

Liu Yunshi didn't care about that; she just wanted to bite Chen Dasheng hard.

"Heh heh!" The mole on He Liang's face twitched as he laughed, "Beauty, it looks like you'll be with me tonight. I haven't had such a good hand in a long time, ha ha!"

In his laughter, it was unclear whether he was pitying or mocking Chen Dasheng. "A small pair against my straight flush? I have to say, you're very brave, but sometimes, bravery isn't enough. You also need wisdom, which you lack!"

He Liang slowly revealed his cards. Liu Yunshi looked up and almost fell to the ground. A straight flush, a very strong hand. She didn't think Chen Dasheng could have a better hand.

The ten thousand was almost gone, leaving only a few hundred in loose change, not even enough for the three thousand gas money. Chen Dasheng had not only lost the ten thousand but also had to pay an additional two thousand.

"Dasheng, Sister Shi, it's all my fault!" Guo Hui sat on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. Not only had he lost money, but he had also dragged his friends into this. He felt extremely guilty and scared.

"Ha ha, kid, now you know how powerful our Liang is, right?" Black-clad Ah Biao laughed wildly.

White-clad Ah Hu also laughed, looking at Liu Yunshi, "Now this woman is ours, ha ha. She's really pretty. Liang will surely share some with us, right?"

Liu Yunshi was stunned, swallowed hard, and stammered, pointing at Chen Dasheng, "It was this guy who gambled with you, not me!"

She tried to leave, but Ah Hu and Ah Biao blocked her way, and she couldn't run.

"Hey, hey, hey, everyone, you haven't seen my cards yet, right?" At this moment, Chen Dasheng calmly interrupted their laughter.

"Huh?"

The laughter stopped abruptly. He Liang immediately stopped laughing and focused on the three cards in front of Chen Dasheng.

"Could it be, could it be that this guy got three 4s? Impossible, that would be too coincidental?" Seeing the faint smile on Chen Dasheng's face, He Liang suddenly felt uneasy.

Liu Yunshi and the others also looked at the cards with the last bit of hope. Chen Dasheng slowly revealed the three cards with a smile.

One 4, two 4s, and as he flipped the third card, it was also a 4.

"Ah!"

Shouts of surprise echoed. A straight flush met a bomb, a small plane met a large plane. No one expected such a hand. Liu Yunshi was so surprised that she covered her mouth. The feeling of going from hell to heaven was overwhelming, and she even thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.

The situation suddenly reversed, a spectacular reversal. Chen Dasheng looked at He Liang with a smile, feeling incredibly satisfied.

He Liang's face turned very colorful. He had actually gotten three 4s, it must be a coincidence, yes, it must be a coincidence.
