Chapter 36: Five to Eight Groups

When Sun Yan and Zhou Jie came to the entertainment city, the several women they saw in the VIP room that night were already waiting at the door, and they should have greeted the people who were "escorting" them all the way behind them in advance.

The group entered the elevator, took Sun Yan and the others to the top floor and left, and a man and a woman they had seen in the furniture factory that day took the private elevator at the end of the corridor to the roof garden.

Even though Zhou Jie is well-informed, she can't help but secretly praise the exquisite design of this garden in her heart. Out of the elevator door, you will first step on a plank road corridor supplemented by a log flower stand, and at the place of descending, it is actually made of a whole piece of ultra-clear glass into a quadruple screen-like water plant tank, so as to buffer the abrupt feeling of people.

The left and right corners of the screen are guarded by two people each, and only after verifying their identities can they go around the back and get a glimpse of the garden.

Zhou Jie was stopped by the guards here, and the man who led the way went in again to ask for instructions, and then he was admitted.

The garden covers a huge area, and there is no need to talk about the strange flowers and plants carved beams and columns in it. Sun Yan had already seen clearly with his mind that there was a large circular lawn on the east side of here, which seemed to be specially designed for practicing golf putting; In the square hall on the north side, there are four square tables, which I don't know what they are used for. On a small octagonal pavilion in the northeast, there is also a table of eight immortals and two chairs, on which several delicate dots and seasonal melons and fruits are all served on alum red gold-painted porcelain plates, with teacups and teapots of the same suit, which looks antique.

An old man in a black light gauze smock was sitting alone in the pavilion at the moment, leisurely shaking a bamboo fan. On the side of the pavilion, there were twelve people standing respectfully, and Yi Cheng, who Sun Yan was familiar with, was also impressively listed.

There was no outsider here, and after the man and woman took Sun Yan to the pavilion, they retreated behind the twelve.

"You are Sun Yan?" The old man smiled and asked, looking extremely kind.

"I am." Sun Yan nodded, but his eyes looked at Yi Cheng, and Yi Cheng happened to be looking at him, so he arched his hand towards Sun Yan first.

"Who is this?" The old man looked Zhou Jie up and down.

"I'm his girlfriend." Zhou Jie replied first, but Sun Yan was taken aback.

"Good! Sure enough, she is a talented woman. Sun Yan, I invited you here today to make a bet with the old man, I hope you can behave well and don't disappoint the old man. ”

It turned out that this old man's name was Cheng Han, and like Liu Qi, they all belonged to a mysterious organization called "Green Kite". The organization is all over the country and abroad, and there are subgroups in all provinces of the country, and this Cheng Han is the leader of the five groups.

The green kite is tightly organized and has many rules, and it is never allowed to act across provinces between groups. But the targets are all alive, they can walk and run, so there is often constant friction between groups.

Among them, the most intense contradictions belong to the five groups in Hubei and the eight groups in Hunan, as well as the third and fourth groups in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

In order to avoid the escalation of the contradiction, Cheng Han agreed with Li Yiyan, the leader of the eighth group, to divide the winners and losers by the competition between the two groups of talents, and divide the interests accordingly.

Usually the two families win and lose each other, but they don't care much about each other, but this time it's different, the headquarters doesn't know how to think about it, and suddenly withdrew the first five subjects that were originally controlled by a group, and one was transferred to Lianghu, and it is said that one group missed when implementing the fourth subject.

One group is directly controlled by the headquarters, so no one dares to inquire about the specific situation. The point is that whoever can get the No. 4 subject will not only have a lot of money, but also have a great chance to enter the elite ranks of the key training of the headquarters, and the group number will rise directly. For example, the current second group has been promoted from the former four groups.

Although Li Yiyan is ranked lower, the strength of the two groups is slightly stronger than the eighth group, because only the elite group ranking that enters the top three is meaningful, and the latter is just a code name.

It is conceivable how much Li and Cheng attach importance to these four subjects. The big competition, which was originally scheduled to be held half a year later, was also due to Sun Yan's sudden appearance, so Cheng Han would rather cede some interests in exchange for the advantage of holding it on the same day and the home field. That Li Yiyan has practiced flattery since childhood, if Sun Yanzhen can bear it, the winning chance of the five groups will be greatly increased.

Li Yiyan came to the rooftop garden until almost noon. She wore a pale golden-green slanted cheongsam, and her figure was extremely attractive, but her face was covered with a light veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly.

Li Yiyan was only followed by eight people, all of them were women in skirts, tulle masks, only the person in first place was close to Li Yiyan in color, which was different.

When the eight women came to the garden, their eyes just kept glancing at Zhou Jie, and the rest swept over and didn't pay attention anymore.

After Li Yiyan sat down in the octagonal pavilion, Cheng Han personally poured a cup of tea for her, and said with a smile: "Team Leader Li only brought so many dolls over, isn't it a bit too big?" ”

Li Yiyan said lightly, "It's enough to win you." ”

Sun Yan listened to her and spoke no different from ordinary people, but she was secretly surprised that Li Yiyan, like Cheng Han, was a practitioner with pure internal qi. is the eight women she brought, and three of them have reached the level of "refining and refining qi", and the person who is the leader, Xiuwei is even more chasing Li Yiyan, and is about to break through to "refining qi and transforming gods".

On the other hand, on their side, although there were many people, only a man with a gloomy face with eagle eyes and a thin black old man had cultivated their internal qi.

Cheng Han listened to Li Yiyan's conceited words and sneered: "Team Leader Li still don't talk too much, lest after losing, he will complain that I am not considerate." ”

Li Yiyan was disdainful, "What about your territory?" This time, the referee team of its own headquarters personally prepared the question and judged, and you didn't dare to cheat. Team Leader Cheng, this is the beginning, right? I'm going to have a meal after the game. ”

Cheng Han didn't say much, got up and said loudly respectfully: "Please ask the referee to preside over the game!" ”

Sun Yan is wondering, there are no outsiders here, where is the referee? But I saw that the sky above the garden was dark, and a huge hemispherical curtain was slowly spread out on the steel structure support that Sun Yan regarded as a flower stand, covering most of the garden like a dome.

Soon, three men in black wearing sunglasses appeared on the screen, and the two places were connected like a video conference.

One of the men in black was the first to speak: "This competition is specially held today with the consent of both parties. Contestants are divided into groups 5 and 8, and the winning team will be authorized to perform the fourth subject. ”

As soon as the words fell, another slightly old voice continued: "The competition is divided into five categories: gambling, fraud, spells, martial arts and skills, according to the usual inspection items of my green kite. Among them, the winning method and competition are determined by one side admitting defeat or losing the ability to play, and the winner shall not continue to attack; The skill analogy test is scored by the judges, and the one with the highest score wins. This competition adopts the ring mode, the winner guards the ring, until no one challenges the next event, and the number of entries on both sides is not limited. ”

The last of the three to speak was a high-pitched female voice: "The first group to win three wins is the final winner, and the game ends at the same time." The referee has the right to suspend the event at any time, and if there is any disobedience, it will be regarded as a rebellion and handed over to the firing squad for a global pursuit. Now I announce that the competition has officially begun, and the first item - gambling competition, there is no limit to categories. ”

When the spherical screen was just unfolded, Cheng Han and Li Yiyan had already walked down the octagonal pavilion. The two of them saluted in the air, and then went to their own people to give instructions before returning to the pavilion to watch the game.

Soon, a masked woman from Group 8 and a tall and thin young man from Cheng Han's side walked up to the wide wooden hall surrounded by flower beds on the north side. There were four square tables in the hall, and the two chose a small table with a blue velvet cloth surface, pulled out a chair from under the table and sat down facing each other, and the game began.

The two men did not say a word, each took out a stack of chips from the drawer and put it beside him, and then the woman took out a deck of playing cards from her side, opened it and drew the queen, and threw it to the man.

For the gambling game of the young kite, there is no such thing as not allowing cheating. On the contrary, it is to encourage you to cheat, and it is a competition to see who has a higher level of cheating. Of course, if people see it, it can't be called cheating, and it is equivalent to losing the game.

Sun Yan has divine thoughts, which is simply the best cheating weapon, which can be said to be more thorough than the contestants themselves. Sun Yan guessed that the two were probably going to play stud, because he glanced at the cards in the man's hand and knew that this person was a top master. He has already divided the cards during the shuffling process. The woman let the bank, no matter how she cut the card, after the man got the first card, the winning side can reach ninety percent.

This method is very clever, even if others see it, they can't accuse him of cheating, maybe people just wash it like that?

The cards were already placed on the table, and the woman seemed to be unconscious, casually raising her hand to divide it into two stacks. There are no dealers here, and the level is all under the hands of the contestant, and the man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and quickly got the first card.

The woman hooks her fingers, which means that the man will give her a card. The man was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, "Do you think you are dying slowly?" So he sent her the second one.

Sun Yan shook his head. The man's second card is the king of spades, the women's 5 of hearts, the man throws two chips, and the woman follows.

After three rounds of card drawing, the man was straight, while the woman's hand was already miserable. When the man saw that it was all according to the shape of the cards he had shuffled, he did not hesitate to stud, and the woman followed.

The fourth bright, the man was stunned, his hole card was 9, this should have touched a 10, forming a straight, but there was another 9. Look at the woman again, 5, 6, 8, 10, how did the cards of the two be reversed? However, the opponent's hole card should be an A, and it is still their own big.

Turning over the hole cards, the man was surprised to find that the woman's hole card was still a 10, and the pair of 10 was just enough to eat his pair of 9. This is the game, and the man has to throw in the towel. If it were a different occasion, he would definitely ask the other party how he did it, and it was the first time he lost or lost.

"Hehe, Team Leader Li's subordinates are really capable, and even the old man has been hidden from this hand." Cheng Han said sourly. He had already guessed what was going on, but he couldn't see it at the time.

I'm afraid that including the referee, only Sun Yan can see the woman's technique. To put it bluntly, it's not worth mentioning, from the moment the man touched the cards, Sun Yan knew that he had lost.

It turned out that when the woman was cutting the card, she used her sleeve to block everyone's sight, and then her little finger nails strained her fingernails and bounced the 10 that was supposed to be touched by the man under her arm and back to the other hand on the table, so until the last moment, the man couldn't see it.

Not only did the woman see through the man's tricks, but she also remembered that after losing one less card, the man would touch her 9, and the one behind her was still a 10. As for swapping out your hole aces, it's too simple.

At this time, the second person of the fifth group had already walked up to the hall, ready to attack.
