Controlled experiment

Chapter 17

Seeing Du Yusheng's figure disappearing before his eyes little by little, and seeing him being taken away by others, Li Yao scratched his cheek, feeling a little uncomfortable.

This kind of discomfort is like someone taking a toy from you when you were a child. Although this toy is not that fun, I haven’t played with it a few times since I bought it, and I don’t like it, but it’s my own thing anyway. No matter how you go, you are not happy.

Li Yao sighed inaudibly, and sat on the bench in a well-behaved manner, looking at the cards on the gaming table.

I was in a hurry when I went out today, and I didn't even have time to fasten the buttons on the cuffs. Li Yao bent his arms in front of his chest to adjust the two buttons.

Although Du Yusheng was taken away, there was no sign of anxiety on his face. The chubby boss moved his butt back and looked at Li Yao.

The boss looked at it and said, "You didn't come here to pay back the money for your friend, did you?"

After the buttons were fastened, Li Yao tucked the cuffs in neatly. He looked up at the boss and asked, "I don't look like it?"

The boss snorted.

Li Yao smiled and put his hands on the table.

"I came here in the first place because of him." It was self-evident who he was referring to, and Li Yao continued, "But now there are other things I want to do."

The boss's eyebrows were slightly frowned, his legs were crossed, and he looked a little impatient, and his whole person revealed a feeling of 'I see what you are going to fart'.The entire underground casino belongs to him, so he is really not afraid of what Li Yao can do alone. Besides, the boss sees this kind of bluffing people a lot.

"Don't want to stand out again?" The boss was ready to ridicule him.

Li Yao smiled and shook his head, "Do you know Zhuang Hao?"

The boss couldn't laugh anymore, the word Zhuang Hao hit his head like a stone, buzzing.

"...What do you want to say?" The boss sniffed, raised his eyelids to look at Li Yao and said, "I don't know any Zhuang..."

"stop."

Li Yao suddenly stood up and walked to the boss's side, stretched out a finger and put it lightly on the back of his hand, like a gesture of silence.

The boss looked up and met Li Yao's eyes. He was smiling, but his eyes didn't smile.

"Let's talk about it later." Li Yao lowered his head and smiled politely, "Let's play two rounds first. If you win, you don't need to say anything. But if you lose a round, you can answer whatever I ask. Don't miss a word." After finishing speaking, Li Yao patted the boss on the shoulder comfortingly, telling him to relax.

Li Yao pulled the chair away and sat back again. The expression on the boss's face was unnatural from the moment he heard Zhuang Hao's name, until now, Li Yao could almost see his fine hairs standing up.

Li Yao had seen this chubby boss in a photo before, and his father said that he had a very good relationship with Zhuang Hao, the kind of brother who was so good that he could go to jail together.That photo was from a few years ago, and Jing Mo hadn't come back at that time, so many years have passed, the boss has gained a lot of weight, so that Li Yao didn't recognize him when he first entered the door, until he saw the tattoo on his arm Just remembered.

Li Yao felt that he was a few years younger than the boss, so the shuffling of the cards was naturally done by the younger generation.

The cards were stacked neatly, and after being shuffled three times, they were arranged in a row in front of the boss.

"you first."

The boss looked at Li Yao's face and pouted.The fingers subconsciously stroked the cards from front to back, and finally stopped in the middle of the cards.

A five of hearts.

Li Yao was not in a hurry, and chose next to the card chosen by the boss.

Six of Hearts.

"Have you met Zhuang Hao?" Li Yao added two words, "Recently."

The sudden question stunned the boss. He looked at Li Yao, and then at the two cards on the table.

"You said ten cards for a game."

"I suddenly felt that Ten Cards was a bit slow."

Li Yao scratched his hair as if troubled, and repeated the question just now.

The boss pinched the Five of Hearts in his palm, of course he didn't want to say it, but looking at the person on the gaming table who was replaced by Li Yao at some point, the boss felt like the one that was pulled out Five of Hearts, surrounded by a whole deck of cards.

"I..., I met Zhuang Hao recently."

"That means Zhuang Hao is not dead." Li Yao took over the words.

The boss's cheeks twitched a few times visible to the naked eye.

As if feeling that he was unlucky, the boss drew out the first card.

Seven of spades.

Li Yao unhurriedly took out the Eight of Spades next to it.

"Zhuang Hao didn't die, so who died in his house?"

The boss shook his head, "I don't know."

Ten of Spades.

Jack of Spades.

"Why did Zhuang Hao cheat death?"

"I do not know."

Three of hearts.

Four of hearts.

"Zhuang Hao met someone else before he came to you? Do you know why I came to him?"

"I do not know."

The boss shook his head helplessly.It's not that he doesn't want to say, he really doesn't know.He didn't know if there was sincerity on his face, he just hoped that Li Yao could believe what he said.And the evil thing is that no matter which card he chooses, Li Yao always chooses next to his own card, and every time it is a little bigger than his own card.This gamble is simply an arraignment meeting.

Li Yao sighed.

"Have you ever played Lianliankan?"

The boss was astonished when asked.

"I played with it a few times when I was in school." Li Yao looked sideways at his shoes and said, "Usually three identical ones will blow up when connected together."

Boss Yubi only felt that the group of people around the gaming table suddenly approached him, and clamped himself firmly on the cold bench.Li Yao leaned his elbows on the table, crossed his upper body and looked at the opposite person who stretched his upper body and held his breath.

"Why don't you change the answer to the three questions?"

His question was polite, but the boss felt creepy in his ears.

The person in front of him looked well-behaved, but what was revealed in his bones was not well-behaved at all.

"I really don't know." The boss took a deep breath, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "But I can tell you where he is, and you can ask him yourself. He only came to look for me. What else is there?" I didn’t say anything, I didn’t ask, I didn’t ask at all.”

The boss explained anxiously, waving his hands in front of his chest continuously.

Li Yao nodded, as if he believed it.After waving his hands, the boss heaved a sigh of relief as the people around the gaming table dispersed slightly.

There were messy cards on the gaming table, and only three rounds were blocked, but the boss felt like he had been playing for three hours.

Li Yao didn't seem to have the intention of leaving, he looked at the cards, and then at the direction of the backyard.

He thought that he should not forget his original purpose.

It's a pity that only played three games.

Li Yao turned over all the remaining cards on the gaming table one by one.

I can't blame the boss for not being able to win. The cards were all shuffled in ascending order, with a six next to a five, and a seven next to a six.This card was shuffled by Li Yao. The boss raised his eyelids and looked at Li Yao, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"It's up to you to wash it this time." Li Yao handed over the cards and said with a smile, "It's fun."

The boss held the cards and dared not move.

"Do you have anything else to ask?"

Li Yao shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't ask this time, let's act."

==========

It was early in the morning when Du Yusheng returned to the casino again, and the casino was still full of people. No one cared who came, and no one cared who left.

As if nothing had happened, Du Yusheng suddenly had an illusion, an illusion that only he had come and gone in this time and space, and nothing else had changed, not even the air.

Li Yao was still sitting in that position, his back was straight, and he sat there in an orderly manner.

From the moment Du Yusheng appeared in sight until he walked to Li Yao's side, Li Yao's eyes never left this person's body, he looked him up and down, as if he was confirming something, the person came to his side Just look away.Du Yusheng didn't know why, so he could only lower his head and prop up his two red ears.

"It's your turn."

The cards in Li Yao's hand were tapped on the inferior gaming table, and he reminded the boss, "It's your turn." He repeated, "We still have two cards in our hand, do you want to change them?"

There were a few drops of sweat visible to the naked eye on the boss's bald head. Du Yusheng thought, the boss must be in a bad situation.

"Something good." The boss put the cards on the table and said, "I won two rounds tonight, and you made me unhappy."

With that said, the boss stood up and pushed his chair aside.

"In this way, we don't count the previous ones. In this round, if you win, you take away the person. We are both cleared. If you lose, you have to give me back double."

"Do you still have this algorithm?"

Li Yao frowned in embarrassment and rubbed his fingers.

Seemingly unwilling, he said, "I can afford to lose money, but this is not the same as the rules we agreed on earlier."

The boss put one foot on the chair he had just made, tapped the other hand on the table, and said sharply, "I have the final say in this place, and I can calculate whatever algorithm I say! Either continue to gamble, or Take the money, or detain the person."

Li Yao touched the corner of his clothes, as if thinking.

Du Yusheng watched from the side, sucked his nose, and made it clear that the boss couldn't afford to lose and wanted to play tricks. To put it bluntly, he saw that Li Yao had a lot of money and came alone again, trying to trick him.Originally, this incident had nothing to do with Li Yao, but no matter why Li Yao appeared here, now this incident has something to do with Li Yao, and the source is all from Du Yusheng himself, Du Yusheng couldn't sit still.

Seeing the slightly flustered look on Li Yao's face, Du Yusheng clenched his fists tightly.

Originally, he was taking care of Luoyang's business, but now that the business is over, Du Yusheng feels that there is no need for him to do it anymore.

But Du Yusheng also felt that something was wrong. When Li Yao came in just now, he was full of swearing, not to mention that he would win [-] percent. I couldn't tell, either he didn't have the ability at all and was bluffing, or he hid that aura and deliberately showed weakness.

Deliberately showing weakness?

Du Yusheng was taken aback by his own thought.

Looked at the boss. "Hey." Du Yusheng bumped him with his shoulder and said, "Do you always do business like this?"

Du Yusheng untied the handcuffs on his wrists indiscriminately, and felt that there was nowhere to put the handcuffs, so he put them on the wrists of the man who had just locked himself in the small dark room.Du Yusheng's movements were quick, and when the man reacted, Du Yusheng raised his face and smiled at the man, with his middle finger on his lips, and made a shush.

Carelessly pulled out the chair and sat opposite the boss.

"If it doesn't work, I'll just watch it here. You guys have another round. If we win this round, we will win. If we lose, we will also win."

Du Yusheng undid the zipper on the top of his jacket, and as if unintentionally, exposed the muzzle of the gun in his pocket, and pointed it at the boss's head within the sight range of the boss.

"Is it better?" Du Yusheng scratched his nose and asked.

The boss rubbed his fingers on the corner of the table. Although his eyes were looking at Du Yusheng, it was more like looking at Li Yao behind him. Fortunately, the latter had no expression on his face.

"...You just leave, I can't do business in the future."

Du Yusheng stood up and said with a smile, "I'm just leaving, what can you do to me?"

Several people suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, blocking their way.

Li Yao looked back at the boss, walked over and lowered his head to stop the boss's shoulder, and whispered something in his ear.

Then he took Du Yusheng, who was ready for head-to-head confrontation, slightly bowed and left the casino.
