Chapter 33: I Use My Brain
Actually, I did go to Hussen. The so-called card game is just to give me an excuse to find Lin Xinting. Although she told me that she already had a fiancΓ©, but, hey, man, what you can't get is always in turmoil!
A group of people slaughtered Hussen's clubhouse. When Hussen saw me again, I could sense his disdain for me. Of course, I was ready for his disdainful looks. Actually, I prepared a game with enough people that I didn't need to go to the table, I came here just to talk to him.
"What are you trying to fool me about?" Hu Sen said coldly.
I sat down calmly and spread my hands: "Actually, in a sense, I didn't lie to you at all, because, you never asked me what I did?" β
"It seems that your mouth is really powerful, it's just that I don't like people who can only talk with their mouths."
"I know. From your speech and demeanor, I can basically conclude that you are a person who likes to speak with actions, although you are not a righteous gentleman, but you are definitely a person with affection and righteousness. You kidnapped and injured the residents in order to raise money for your father's medical expenses. And because Wu Zuofeng's promise to you has been fulfilled, you believe in Wu Zuofeng even more. You are, so to speak, a bastard, but a principled bastard. I like principled bastards, because when they have principles, they're the best people to do things. Once a bastard is unprincipled, then you never know when he's going to jerk you off. β
"Then why don't you find someone who isn't a jerk?"
"Because a person is not a jerk, he has a psychological cleanliness fetish, and I will be very painful." I smiled, unceremoniously took the drink from his clubhouse and said, "You won't watch Wu Zuofeng's death unclear, so I'll give you a chance to help me investigate the truth." β
Hussen frowned, from his face, I could already see the prelude to acquiescence, because his eyelids were throbbing, and his shortness of breath caused his face to flush, and his lips trembled slightly, this was the look of excitement, indicating that his hormones were rioting!
"You should know what I do, so, what you think now, I'm satisfied."
I stretched out my hand and waited for Hussein's choice.
Silence doesn't mean he will refuse, and of course, I know that he won't accept it so easily.
"Do you know why I can't let my dad have an accident?" Hu Sen's lips finally moved, "My father raised me alone. He was frail and bullied, so I trained my body well since I was a child, and vowed to protect him and do anything for him. During my time in prison, I knew that Wu Dong took great care of my father. For this alone, I am very grateful to Wu Dong. β
"So, you accepted it?"
"I accept! But only if you have to pass one of my tests. β
"You're not going to let me fight you, are you?" I smiled weakly and leaned back. Because, I did read a trace of weirdness in his face.
Hu Sen snorted: "Ma Lu helped me inquire from Lin Xinting, you have been seriously injured, so if I want to beat you, one hand is enough." It's just that I heard that you were an athletic boy before the overhaul, and there is an open-air basketball court under my clubhouse, ten balls, if you can beat me one. You have full authority to arrange it, and you can do whatever you ask me to do. But if you lose, I'll also assist you in investigating the case, but, I'll follow my method. β
"We are not a public office, so the biggest fear is that something will go wrong. If you yourself come nonsense, it will be the biggest disadvantage to my firm, so you are forcing me to win you! Or maybe you just want to humiliate and let you breathe! β
"Whatever you want, it's just that you don't accept it!"
He provoked me in turn with what I had just asked. To be honest, I'm really getting more and more interested in Hussen. I have to say, I did not misread the wrong person, Hu Sen, I feel that he is not a decent gentleman, but he is indeed an interesting bastard.
"Good! I accept. β
Snap, heavy high-five! I don't think I'm an absolutely good person, so I've always had an absolute curiosity about this kind of good and evil character. I realized that Hussen was definitely not a flash. In the future, he may be able to help us even more.
Below, the open-air basketball court, I haven't sweated in a place like this in a long time. Hussen is right, I used to be an athletic boy, but now I γγγγγγγ Well, I picked up the basketball and tried to shoot it a few times. When I made this action, the corners of Hussen's mouth moved.
He could see that I was not a novice, but I hadn't touched a basketball for a long time, and my movements were not very coherent. The point is that the coordination of my body, because of that overhaul, obviously dragged down!
"Ten balls! If you can score a goal, you win. Hussen raised his finger again!
"Okay, that's what you said. Then I'm here! "I took the ball and hesitated a little, actually, I was trying to make a surprise attack.
It's just that I still overestimate my current ability, and the ball hasn't dribbled far yet, and my incoherent action directly smashed the ball directly on my feet!
Phew, shame on you!
Picking up the ball, Hussen threw it directly to me: "I don't recommend that you rush so fast!" β
I shrugged my shoulders embarrassedly: "It's just an occasional mistake, this goal will definitely not happen!" β
With that, I took the ball and took a deep breath: "My basic skills are still retained, but my motor function has declined too much." Obviously, you can't mess around, this guy is tall and big, and his physical fitness is obviously better than mine, so he has to find a way! β
Scenes were sketched in my head, and of course, my pupils were dilating because the stimulus was telling me that I needed to gamble!
Taking a deep breath, all of a sudden, I jumped straight up and threw the ball.
Hussen was clearly intimidated by my move. At the same time as the basketball was thrown, it snapped and smashed directly into the basket, and my whole body was already rushing towards the basket.
Yes, I couldn't get close to the rim with Hussen's interference, and I couldn't coordinate my body and dribble quickly, so I had to make one choice.
I know that I can't shoot, and I don't want to dribble the ball, but just go to grab the rebound, and then attack the basket, it's just γγγγγγ
A big hand suddenly reached out from behind, and Hu Sen jumped after me, and at the moment when I was about to grab the basketball, he slapped it out with his hand.
I landed at the same time as him, Hu Sen breathed a sigh of relief and shook his finger at me: "There are still eight balls, you are going to lose!" β
"Damn! This guy is too tough to deal with, but I'm admiring him more and more! I clenched my fists tightly and stared at Hu Sen.
Half an hour later, when my eighth goal was ruthlessly blocked by Hussen, it seemed like I was waiting for the game to be over.
"You can't score a goal! Scold. A bitter smile was written on my face, and I lamented that my body had regressed significantly.
In fact, every man fantasizes about being mentally and physically strong, and I am no exception. However, when you know that your physical strength cannot last, you can only rely on your brain power to make up for it, and I have done this all these years, of course, today Hu Sen told me that sometimes, brain power alone is far from enough.
Of course, I also know better that sometimes, physical strength alone is not enough.
"If you want to give up, that's fine." Hussen makes a provocative thumb down.
"Heh, actually, if I wanted to give up, I would have given up a long time ago. Just like the current haunted house curse, many people are actually afraid to unravel the mystery, resulting in more and more rumors now. However, I know that I don't care about these words, what I need is to conquer them, including you now. β
"But there's nothing you can do to beat me right now."
"Of course, that's what you think." I was holding the basketball in both hands, and I could hear my own breathing. Well, I'll prove that I'm still a strong man.
Maybe Hu Sen still doesn't understand why I, who is already embarrassed, has a weird smile on my face. Only, after a few seconds, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because, when I picked up the basketball again, he instinctively thought that I would throw the ball out with the ball, or break through with the ball, but he never expected that I, who was almost standing outside the three-point line, would jump directly. While his mouth was open, I had already thrown a parabola.
I understand. It's actually a gamble, but it's a relatively safe way for me compared to my previous gambles.
Finally, I didn't lose this gamble!
The moment the ball went straight into the net, Hu Sen looked at me dumbfounded. I clenched my fists lightly and said in that understatement: "I forgot to tell you that I was indeed an athletic boy, and besides, I played basketball well, but, you must not know, I was a three-point shooter on the varsity team!" If you knew early on that I was going to shoot threes, you wouldn't have let me shoot here easily. It's just that you have a preconceived idea that I'm just going to rush forward with the ball, so you don't pay any attention to my take-off. My first few sprints, just to paralyze you! Do you know why I won you. Because I rely on my brain! And you, by brute force alone! β
"But in the end, you still have to turn to me, a man who relies only on brute force."
"Each performs its own duties, cooperates with each other, and combines mental and physical strength, which is the most powerful. Stop talking nonsense, you've already lost. Come to my office tomorrow and I'll tell you what to do. β
With a sigh of relief, I was sighing that although I couldn't exercise a lot, I had been practicing my three-point shot, and I still felt it.
Hu Sen had already chased after him, and couldn't wait to ask: "Are you really not blind?" β
"Heaven and earth conscience, I really am a three-point shooter for the varsity team."
"Damn, you're lying to me again in the first few balls!"
"Haha!" I couldn't speak, but Hussen had put his hand on my shoulder. I like this product very much, except for Wu Zuofeng's case, I think I will cooperate with him in the future! As I said as soon as I saw him, such a good guy, only opening a chess and card club, is indeed a waste, "Young man, you are very good, let me learn to solve the case!" β
