Chapter 665: He's Gone First

In the previous round, the community card was Chunjie’s Zheng yue chu yi.

This led Zheng Yingxiong to believe that his hand cards—Liqiu’s Qi yue chu ba and Dashu’s Liu yue ershi yi—had no way to pair with it, so he withdrew in the first round.

Chen Junnan quickly calculated that Di Hou still had Chunjie in his hand this time, but due to the rule changes, these two cards might form a very large hand with Chunjie.

Among them, Liqiu wouldn't work.

Liqiu’s seven eight adds up to fifteen, and Di Hou would fail immediately upon drawing this card.

If Di Hou shows this arrogant expression, it only proves that his hand card is Dashu.

Dashu’s six two one, plus Chunjie’s one one, plus She ri’s two two—the sum of these numbers is fifteen!

If that's really the case, it's simply the worst situation known so far.

Everyone finally had a chance to accurately guess Di Hou’s hand, but his hand is extraordinarily large.

Even larger than the total of Qiao Jijin’s fourteen!

What to do next?

Qiao Jijin also spent some time calculating Di Hou’s hand, and his expression became extremely ugly.

In contrast, Di Hou has been wearing a contemptuous face, as if he is about to declare his victory.

Now on the field... is there anything that can turn the tide?

Qiao Jijin and Chen Junnan thought of this at the same time, and then turned their heads to look at Qi Xia’s hidden card.

Yes, there is still a hidden card.

Qi Xia hasn't looked at his card since he drew it; what exactly is his hidden card? Is there some backup plan?

“Cheater…”

Qi Xia, upon hearing this, slowly reached out and picked up his hidden card. He held the hidden card up to his eyes, with the back facing Di Hou.

Di Hou glanced at Qi Xia with interest but didn't speak.

Qi Xia adjusted his breathing slowly and said:“Di Hou, I’m giving you a chance to concede. You can’t win.”

Qiao Jijin and Chen Junnan, due to the angle, still couldn’t see what card Qi Xia had in his hand. The two were anxious in their hearts but couldn’t say anything.

“I… concede…?”Di Hou’s mouth slowly curled up, then gradually widened, revealing his yellowed teeth.“Hahaha! Ridiculous, Qi Xia, too ridiculous!”

Qi Xia furrowed his brows, gritted his teeth hard, and after a long time, slowly spat out a few words:“Where is it ridiculous?”

“I can’t see that card, or can you not see it either?”Di Hou laughed.“What kind of inferior trick is this?”

“Inferior… trick…?”

Di Hou crossed his arms in front of his chest, shifted his obese body to sit more comfortably.

“Qi Xia, I think you’re really confused, your brain not working anymore?”He asked with a smile.“If your card really beats mine, why would you threaten me to concede? Wouldn’t you lure me to raise the bet?”

“I…”Qi Xia’s forehead was full of fine sweat, looking like the situation was not good.

“Really too ridiculous.”Di Hou kept shaking his head.“Saying ‘I’m a cheater’, but getting exposed by me repeatedly, is that how you walk in the ‘Zhongyan Zhidi’?”

Upon hearing this, Qi Xia’s eyes looked dead, and the hand holding the card lost strength, slowly drooping down.

He looked very tired, not only pale, but also his clothes soaked with sweat.

Qiao Jijin and Chen Junnan, sitting to one side, happened to see the hidden card when Qi Xia lowered his hand.

It was Hanlu.Jiu yue chu ba.

This card is essentially no different from Jiu jiu Chongyang.

Upon drawing it, the points would instantly reach seventeen, directly declaring failure.

Just now, Qi Xia used this Hanlu to make a final threat to Di Hou, but unfortunately, it failed in the end.

“My card… is very big…”Qi Xia said softly, as if muttering to himself,“Di Hou… you will lose…”

“Yes, your card is indeed very big.”Di Hou nodded slightly,“It’s big enough to ‘blow you up’.”

Qi Xia seemed to have lost his mind, slowly took out a ‘Dao’ from his pocket and placed it on the table, then said in a deep voice:“I want to ‘raise the bet’.”

“What…”

At this time, not only Chen Junnan and Qiao Jijin, even Di Hou was a bit stunned.

Qi Xia’s card, no matter how you look at it, is already ‘blown up’, in other words, ‘losing upon reveal’, but he wants to raise the bet here?

“Di Hou… do you dare to follow…”Qi Xia’s voice was very soft, Di Hou could barely hear it,“I won’t lose to you…”

“You’re really a madman…”Di Hou gritted his teeth,“What do I have to fear?!”

Di Hou immediately placed a ‘Dao’ on the table without hesitation.

After the two placed their bets, Qi Xia turned his head to look at Chen Junnan and Qiao Jijin, his eyes abnormally vacant.

“Chea… cheater… you…”

“Don’t mind him, you two.”Di Hou said,“Haven’t you seen he’s completely mad? He’s gambling with a ‘blown up’ hand; if you two quit now, you can still save some capital, maybe make a comeback later.”

The two naturally knew that what Di Hou said made sense; quitting now is the best choice, but neither of them had a ‘Dao’ left.

“Chen Junnan, follow me.”Qi Xia said coldly.

“Ol-, Old Qi… I don’t have a ‘Dao’ anymore…”

Qi Xia blinked slightly after hearing this, then looked at Qiao Jijin:“Fist, follow me.”

“I… I don’t have any either…”Qiao Jijin said,“Cheater, are you a bit tired? Maybe we should…”

“I’ll give it to you.”Qi Xia said with a pale face,“Follow me, I’ll give you the ‘Dao’.”

Qiao Jijin looked at Qi Xia’s abnormal appearance and was at a loss for a moment.

Di Hou on the side showed a disdainful smile:“What did I say? If you give up now, at least you can save some capital.”

Qi Xia ignored Di Hou, reached out and directly stuffed a ‘Dao’ into Qiao Jijin’s hand.

Qiao Jijin felt that Qi Xia’s fingertips were ice-cold and slightly trembling.

“Fist… are we brothers…? Why not follow…?”Qi Xia asked blankly.

“I… I…”

Qiao Jijin was stunned in place, not knowing what to do. He naturally regarded Qi Xia as a brother, but who would jump into the fire pit knowing it’s a loss?

He quickly threw a pleading look at Chen Junnan.

“This…”Chen Junnan smiled bitterly, slowly flipped his cards on the table, indicating he was folding,“Old Qiao, although I don’t want to admit it, we might have to bow out first.”
