"Where is it from?Gucheng District?Beixiang District?, or Liuhe District?" asked Thirteen as he extinguished his cigarette butt and asked the crowd.

"Liuhe District. Hyacinth replied to him with great certainty, "Tang Dynasty Hotel." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go now!" Lin Xiangnan said.

Thirteen looked him up and down, lit another cigarette, and said slowly, "It's not okay for us to just go like this, at least we have to change our outfits." ”

On the surface, the Tang Dynasty Hotel is one of the largest hotels in the entire Tianjin Port, but in fact it is a folk secret card organization, which has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, and its strength has not been underestimated, but it has not done anything out of the ordinary, so the local association has always been so peaceful that it has nothing to do with each other, and even sometimes carries out some cooperation.

"What about the specific tasks?" Lin Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief after learning about the nature of the Tang Dynasty group, it sounded like a very normal organization, and there should be no problem in dealing with it.

"They've got a party of secret card masters tonight," Thirteen Eyebrows said, "Of course we're going to have some fun and ask about the mission by the way." ”

"Do you want to go now? Liuhe District is not close to here. Harue said.

"Don't worry, there's a rental company two blocks ahead," Thirteen said, "Let's rent a car and save face!"

......

A classic white Lexus LC slowly drove on the asphalt road in the Liuhe District, the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street towered like giants, and the night of the city was illuminated by neon lights, the lights reflected each other in the darkness, and the colors were blurred, so unreal.

In American movies at the end of the last century, famous Hollywood actresses wore sexy evening gowns, smeared bright lipstick on their lips, looked down drunken streets, walked through high-class drinking parties, and talked about classical music and champagne with personable men.

And now, Lin Xiangnan, who was sitting in a limousine, was very dissatisfied with his clothes, as a straight man of vibranium, he had never worn a suit, let alone participated in a party that was said to be all high society.

Although he is dressed like a dog now, no matter how others look at him, he looks like a housekeeper and other characters, but the thirteenth and other people are all extraordinary, and he has the feeling of a high-end person.

Temperament is not something that can be cultivated in a day or two.

"Why do you have to wear such a revealing evening dress to a drinking party?" Chunjiang also wailed, from childhood to adulthood, her clothing style has been based on comfort as the first standard, so she is often called a woman who lives with a big man in her heart.

"Don't scream, evening dresses are all thigh-baring. Thirteen sat down next to her and said, glancing over her thigh.

"Then why does Hyacinth wear a white suit?" Harue protested.

"People have always walked in a neutral style. Thirteen said, "If you don't believe it, look at the side, it's an airport, and you're two mountains!"

"Get out!" the two ladies said in unison.

"It's coming soon. Lin Xiangnan looked out the car window and muttered to himself.

Turning his gaze to the car window, he saw a complex of luxurious buildings, the so-called Tang Dynasty Hotel was just a name, in fact, its business scope included hotels, theaters, shopping malls, and a row of shops open only to secret card masters.

In front of the door was a bustling crowd, the car slowly stopped, the four of them pushed the door in turn, stepped out of the car, and walked to the smiling welcome waiter.

"Hello four gentlemen and ladies. The waiter said without humility or arrogance, "We will have a drinking party tonight, and no one can enter without an invitation." ”

"Of course we do. Thirteen and the others looked at each other and said with a smile, "I'll show you our invitation." ”

With that, he pulled out a cigar as thick as a roasted sausage, and with a crisp snap of his fingers, the cigar gradually burned.

The waiter's expression was slightly stunned, and then he smiled and said, "Sir, this alone is not enough to attend tonight's drinking party." ”

"Which of you will have one?" said Thirteen, looking at the others.

"I'm coming!", Lin Xiangnan stepped forward, took off his glasses, and slowly widened his eyes.

A pair of dark brown eyes were ignited in an instant, turning red and bright at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the surging momentum came overwhelmingly, the waiter subconsciously leaned back to dodge, and almost stumbled and fell, but fortunately, Lin Xiangnan quickly helped him up.

"Shall we go in now?" Thirteen asked with a smile.

"Yes, of course!" the waiter wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in fear, and for a moment now, he only felt that he was looking at a beast, "Welcome to tonight's drinking party, please come with me." ”

Don't look too surprised for a moment. Lin Xiangnan, who was thirteen pairs of probes and probed his brain, said, "If it is found to be a newcomer, it is possible to be pitted." ”

"Everyone, the reception is on the top floor, do you need me to show you the way?" a waiter in a black tuxedo walked over and saluted respectfully.

"Lead the way. ”

"Please follow me. The waiter led them all the way to the top floor, until they came to a room that was suddenly open and unusually bright.

The four of them stepped into the hall of the reception, the bright red carpet spread out on the ground beneath their feet, a classical crystal lamp hung overhead, dispelling the darkness, the pompous oil painting showed the taste of the hotel owner, and the polite waiter was entertaining the guests with sterling silver wine utensils.

"Attending the hotel is not the main purpose today. Thirteen explained to Lin Xiangnan again, "The Tang Dynasty Hotel has an intelligence system that is not inferior to the association, as long as we pay money, we can get any information we want." ”

"Do you have the money, do we have enough funds for our mission?" Lin Xiangnan asked a key question.

"The housekeeper who is in charge of the money?" Thirteen looked at Hyacinth, "How much money do we have for the mission?"

"The food expenses for these two days, the money I paid for the clothes I went to the clothing store just now, and the money for renting a car......" Hyacinth thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be enough." ”

"I'll just say I won't let you eat the fire, you don't listen, now it's okay!" Thirteen roared to Chunjiang.

"You didn't eat roasted eggplant at noon?" Chunjiang immediately retorted, not to be outdone.

"Don't quarrel, okay, I'll just say don't pretend to force you to rent a car, three thousand two a day, it's expensive!" Lin Xiangnan said.

"Whoever let the school pick so much, just give such a little money!" Thirteen complained.

"Let's go to the arena then. Hyacinth said.

The Tang Dynasty Hotel is not only a place for the secret card master to socialize, but also has a very prestigious fighting arena, which can accommodate 500 spectators, and also has a handicap, which is the best place for the secret card master to exchange ideas.

Here, there are two kinds of fighting skills, one is sparring, where the two sides compete in a sparring competition, but it is not allowed to deliberately seriously injure. The second type is a gambling fight, where both sides set a bet, and the official staff of the Tang Dynasty Hotel acts as the referee, and the winner gets all the rewards.

"We can bet on ourselves, and as long as we win, we can raise money. Thirteen all the way to the arena, "Let's all four of us, this can be more efficient." ”

"There are many different forms of competition, you can play alone or in a team. Hyacinth said.

"Sign up here. Thirteen led everyone to a small room, and the staff handed them four registration forms, as long as they filled them out, they could officially participate in the fighting.

There is not much content in the form, for the thirteenth and others, the content on it can be written casually, after all, they patted their butts and left after making up the money, there is no need to be serious at all.

And most of the others are the same, no one is willing to expose their details, and Tang Dynasty Hotel can only compromise on this.

Moreover, for the contestants, a grading test should be conducted before the competition to prevent a one-sided situation caused by the difference in ranks.

Especially when Harue and Hyacinth registered, the person in charge of registration did not slack off because of gender, and kept an expression of "I am a professional" on his face.

"I guess we can almost scrape together enough money if we win one game. "If it's a winning streak or the odds are high, after all, we don't have much time, and the longer the delay, the worse it will be for us." ”
