Chapter 4 Betting against fate
Section 4 Bet with fate
"I'll take you to the airport." I stood beside Jiang Sijia and his daughter, and said to them with a smile.
Jiang Sijia's father smiled and bent down slightly at me, and said with concern: "Then I'll trouble you."
Forty minutes later, I took the two of them to the airport. After arriving at the airport, Jiang Sijia's father asked Jiang Sijia to buy tickets, and then he and I continued to stand in place. After Jiang Sijia walked a distance, Jiang Sijia's father looked at me with a smile and said, "Along the way to the airport, you were thinking about whether you should find a way to keep me, right?"
I nodded without hesitation and said, "In fact, I am also considering whether I want to keep you."
He smiled and shook his head, then put his hand on my shoulder and said, "We will have a day to fight, but not now."
When his hand was placed on my shoulder, when his hand was placed over, I instinctively wanted to break free, but his hand was steadily placed on my shoulder like an iron plier, and no matter how hard I tried, it would not move at all. With my current strength and explosive power, I could at least compare with a professional boxer. But he seemed to be able to completely control me easily. It was really hard to imagine how such a strong force would be in such a thin body.
Although I was a little confused about the reason, the facts made me believe what he said, and I couldn't keep him.
After a moment, I gave up struggling and said to him calmly: "Even if I can't catch you, so what? Even if your body can fight against me, can it still fight against modern technology? Will your body be afraid of bombardment from artillery and missiles?"
Jiang Sijia's father smiled and said, "Don't talk about artillery and missiles, just one pistol bullet can kill me."
"Since that's the case, even if I can't keep you today, you will sooner or later be caught by others. Because as long as you live in this world, you will leave traces, and these traces will sooner or later reveal your flaws."
Jiang Sijia's father smiled and let go of his hand, opened his body, raised his head and laughed, "My body really cannot fight against modern technology, but why should I use my body to fight against it? Those who can only use their bodies are just low-level beasts."
Speaking of this, Jiang Sijia's father pointed to his head, "But I can fight against modern technology... Although you see me now, you still can't find me. If you don't believe it, you can try it."
I looked at him and asked, "Do you think you can control the whole world?"
"No need to control the whole world, I just need to control what I want to control."
I lowered my head and looked at the direction where Jiang Sijia bought the ticket, then turned around and looked at him, "In so many thousand years, you should be ruthless and desireless. Since that's the case, why did you still give birth to Jiang Sijia with Jiang Wei?"
"I always have my reasons for doing things." Jiang Sijia's father blinked and continued, "But I'm sorry, I can't tell you this reason yet."
Hearing this, I smiled faintly and said, "Jiang Sijia is your weakness, right? If it weren't for this, you wouldn't bother to expose yourself and chase him."
Jiang Sijia's father looked at me and asked back, "So, why didn't I send my men to do this? Isn't it too stupid to expose myself for such a small thing?"
"You dare not let any of your subordinates know that Jiang Sijia is your daughter, nor do you dare to let them approach your daughter, because you have never believed in any of them." I looked directly into Jiang Sijia's father's eyes and said, "The reason why you deliberately show your identity in front of me is just like all the smoke you have done before, it is just a method of blurring my thinking. You want me to mistakenly think that you were not forced to appear, but deliberately want to appear. In this way, you can make me forget to think about the point you are most afraid of I know - Jiang Sijia is your only weakness."
"If I really have such concerns as you said, I can pretend to be an ordinary person, why should I be honest with you about my identity?"
"Because you are not sure that you can deceive me this time."
When I said this, I almost said word by word, and while I was speaking, my eyes were always staring at Jiang Sijia's father. He also stared at me without evasion.
After we looked at each other for almost a full minute, Jiang Sijia's father said lightly: "Yes, everything you said is right. Jiang Sijia is my weakness, you can take advantage of it."
After saying this, Jiang Sijia's father rolled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, and I sighed slowly, turned his head and looked into the distance. I knew what his smile meant. Even if I guessed his thoughts, so what? Can I do such a thing?
Seeing me silent, Jiang Sijia's father put his hand on my shoulder again, but this time he didn't use force, but he was like an old friend, "Chu Tianqi, although we are facing each other today, as if we are standing in a completely different position. But one day, you will understand that we are not enemies. Not only are we not enemies, but I am also your only comrade-in-arms."
I raised my head and looked at Jiang Sijia's father, "Can you tell me, what exactly do you want to get?"
"I want you to do what the whole world thinks you can't do." Speaking of this, Jiang Sijia's father smiled again, "Haven't you have done a lot now? And I believe you can do more, so much to change the whole world."
"Thank you for your support, but I don't have this intention." I said.
"That's because you haven't realized what a great person you are, and all I have to do is to let you truly know yourself." When Jiang Sijia's father said this, Jiang Sijia was about to come over, so he quickly ended the conversation between us in one sentence, "One day, we will create a new world together."
When I watched Jiang Sijia board the plane with her father, I had an impulse to call Liang Yu and inform him of the traces of the mysterious man I found. However, when I picked up the phone, I did not dial the phone number for a long time. At this time, I realized that I didn’t know when I had stopped trusting anyone, I only believed in myself.
With extremely complicated emotions, I left Charles de Gaulle Airport and drove around Paris in a car. Just when my mind was a little confused, I heard my cell phone ringing, it was Han Rong's phone call.
"Hey, where are you?" Han Rong asked me.
I replied, "I'm in Paris."
Han Rong laughed, "I don't know you're in Paris, come on, there's the last shot tonight, don't be crazy."
I said, "I haven't been crazy. I've sent Jiang Sijia away and will be back soon."
"Oh, are you leaving so quickly? I thought she would want to play for a while."
"It was, but her dad came to pick her up."
"Haha, you guy, the parents really can't believe you, the playboy."
When I heard Han Rong laughing loudly on the phone, I laughed and asked back: "Hey, I must answer it very seriously if I ask you a question."
"Is it a serious problem? Why do you look serious?"
"Why never ask me who Jiang Sijia is?"
"Although I know you are not a good person, and I know you are fickle, I can't help but want to believe you blindly." Han Rong said, pausing, "because sometimes I feel that being able to blindly believe in someone is a great happiness in itself."
My car was speeding on the streets of Paris, and I was silent for a while while holding the phone in the car. It took me a long time to laugh lightly, "It will be within fifteen minutes."
In less than fifteen minutes, only thirteen minutes, I arrived on the set. When I arrived on the set, Jack Lee had already been in place. But he did not come over to say hello to me, but instead held a pair of poker and placed them on a gambling table. Legend has it that every time Jack Lee faced a big enemy, he would use this skill to calm his mood.
"Xiao Qi, you are here, come, this is the most important shot, I have to tell you about this shot again." Seeing me appear, Chenosky hurried over.
"Don't worry about what your script is, there are no lines, let alone who are around me and what they are doing, just treat it as a real gambling." Before I could wait for him to speak, I immediately smiled at him, "... Look, I understand everything."
Chernosky was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Then, let's start, Jack Lee has been preparing for ten minutes. Do you need to prepare?"
I shook my head, "Don't waste time, start shooting right away."
As I said that, I quickly walked to the card table opposite Jack Lee. As I walked past him, Jack Lee continued to play his cards calmly while whispering to me: "This time will be the farewell match for the uncrowned king of gambling."
I slowly walked to the opposite side of him, sat down, and smiled and said to him, "I will definitely not let you down."
Five minutes later, when all the units were in their positions, each with 100 million chips placed on the table, the legend that Chernosky specially invited was the best dealer in Paris and looked at us, "Would you like to cut the cards?"
Jack Lee shook his head and said, "I have always believed in fate. I don't need to cut cards."
And I smiled and said, "But I never believe in fate."
As I said that, I gently cut the cards on the poker.
The dealer started to give cards. After the trump card was given, Jack Li and each got a card. Mine was k spades, and his was k sex.
"Spads," the dealer said in English.
I threw out a 100,000 chip, Jack Li first threw out a 100,000 chip, and then Jack Li used a gambling method that almost everyone present felt incredible. Without thinking, he pushed out all the chips, "Then, I bet on all my chips."
Maybe everyone wouldn't understand why Jack Lee did this, but I wouldn't include me. When he did this, I was just a little stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it."
The moment I pushed out the chips, I saw a look of relief on Jack Lee's face, a happy expression that was understood. This scene once again made everyone feel incredible. Even Chernosky, who was sitting behind the monitor, didn't care about looking at the picture in the monitor anymore, but stood up and walked to the camera to look at us, showing an incomprehensible expression on his face.
Next, we continued to give away cards. At the end, we were all scattered cards. My biggest one was the spade k, and Jack Li's biggest one was the red q.
In order to distribute cards for this legendary exciting bet, the dealer prepared for several days. But he never expected that the bet he expected would end in such a dull and simplicity. When he said the four words "K-win in spades", I couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on his face.
After hearing the dealer say this, Jack Li stood up quietly, picked up his hat and put it on his head, then slowly walked to me, and said to me with a smile: "I finally won over the years."
I looked at him with a smile, but didn't say anything.
"It depends on you next. Although I don't know what you are going to face, since Jia Yu can do so hard, there must be something amazing that I want you to do. I wish you success." Jack Li said, putting my shoulders on my shoulders, "If you need anything in the future, you can call me as you like."
I stood up and nodded to Jack Lee, "I will definitely do it."
Jack Lee smiled at me, then took a deep breath, and smiled with satisfaction and left the set in amazement.
At this time, Chenoski finally couldn't help but come over and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
I pointed to Jack Lee's back and said, "What I was really betting on with him just now was not me, but his fate, and that man, he won."
Chernosky frowned slightly, as if he understood, and as if he was a little confused, "Can you say it more clearly?"
"He is the most amazing gambler in the world. The gambler is born to be an opportunistic animal. When he becomes a gambler, this is his fate. But now he wants to get rid of this fate. He wants to be a person who gives up tricks and keeps things going, which means he must face failure at all times. There is a way to win, but he just wants to lose, in order to get rid of the gambler's fate. And he won!"
Hearing this, Chenoski finally understood. He nodded in admiration, "What an amazing person."
I sighed in agreement, "Yes, it's amazing."
When I said this, I found that I seemed to have figured out a lot of things again.
