Lost and Spy

Chapter 1068 The Real King
"It seems that my cards are relatively high."

Li Shiqun said relaxedly: "This guy named Gu Laosheng, why is it worthwhile for District Chief Meng to rescue him personally?"

"My chances don't seem to be great? But I have to follow you." Meng Shaoyuan hesitated for a moment: "This is Gu Laosheng, let me tell you the truth, do you know that my wife's name is Cai Xuefei?"

"Yeah, I know."

"Gu Laosheng is my wife's relative, and he helped my wife's family a lot in the past."

Nonsense.

Wu Jingyi and Li Shiqun thought at the same time.

What relative?
It was just made up!
Li Shiqun seemed to believe it: "So that's the case, no wonder District Chief Meng is able to contribute so much. Well, Mrs. Meng's relatives are also District Chief Meng's relatives, but if you lose this card, you will lose to me again." what?"

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Eighty thousand oceans, and 600 taels of gold!"

Li Shiqun's expression changed suddenly.

"It's too late, Mr. Li." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "When we played cards here, I already won. I even won the car and the goods. An old man Gu, the chip is 600 oceans and [-] taels of gold ! Precondition, you can beat me!"

"I accept!"

Li Shiqun was almost gnashing his teeth there, he flopped: "Full House, what are you going to do to beat me!"

In his hand, there are two Kings, plus one King and two Jacks in the river bed, K gourd!

Li Shiqun sneered: "Remember, I said that K represents the king!"

"Another three kings."

Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "I wonder if you are cheating!"

"District Chief Meng, people always have to afford to lose." Li Shiqun stared at him firmly: "Where is my money?"

"Your money must be where it should be." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "In a deck of cards, there are four kings, and only one is the real king, the king of spades!"

He showed his cards:
Spades K, Spades A!

In addition to a J of clubs and a J of spades, there are also 10 of spades and Q of spades in the river bed!

Flush!
Only one is the real king!
"Shanghai has only one real king." Meng Shaoyuan picked up a few chips and threw them to the croupier, then stood up: "That's me, Meng Shaoyuan!"

Li Shiqun's face was ashen!
He won almost the whole game, but lost the last one.

Just this last match made him lose everything!
Tian Qi sighed:
"I'm fine, just a small loss."

He, this is tantamount to stabbing Li Shiqun in the heart again!

……

"how did you do it?"

Wu Jingyi didn't quite understand.

Meng Shaoyuan looked a little lonely: "At this point, I have to confess one thing to you. In fact, I am the God of Gamblers!"

"roll!"

"You have to buy the dealer a lot of money in advance, and you can get any card you want."

Meng Shaoyuan said with a wicked smile.

Any tricks, to put it bluntly, are worthless.

"Hi."

"Hi, Mr. Dong."

Mr. Douglas, the director of the Board of Directors of the Public Settlement Industry Bureau, stood beside Meng Shaoyuan with a glass of wine: "Thank you, my friend."

Thank you my friend.

Douglas, who had been arguing just now, actually called Meng Shaoyuan like this when there were no outsiders: "Moyes said that you will always have a way, and now I believe it."

"The Japanese are constantly putting pressure on the board of directors, asking you to help them deal with the military command. As a gentleman of the British Empire, of course you are not willing to give in, but you have to consider the current situation in Shanghai."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "It's all right now. You and I have blatantly turned against each other. You have done your best. Mr. Douglas, your term of office will expire in one year, right?"

"Yes."

"Then, during this year, you can openly order an attack on our military command, such as ordering Director Sinclair to arrest a few members of the military command every day. Don't worry, we will cooperate very well."

"Then, the front door grabs in and the back door lets out."

"No, no, that will arouse the suspicion of the Japanese sooner or later." Meng Shaoyuan smiled brightly: "I have recruited a group of youth gang disciples to join the military command temporarily, just for you to arrest. I will be locked up for three months, maybe half a year? You can even order the courts to sit and try them in public and sentence them."

"They, are they willing?"

"Of course I would. If I could spend half a year in exchange for a generous settling-in allowance, there would always be someone who would be willing. What's more, they would have someone to take care of them in prison. They would have food and drink, and they could be with themselves. The reunion of wives and children, of course, has to be in prison. When they come out, their lives are already guaranteed."

"You are very thoughtful. Now I begin to understand why you have so many friends."

"My friends are always many."

"Meng, I have one last question. Is what you said about the International Settlement true?"

"Yes, the truth." Meng Shaoyuan's face became serious: "The concession is leased to you. Since it is leased, we are the owners here. For example, you, Mr. Dong, when your term of office expires, You will return to England, and the life in the Concession is just a good memory for you. But for us, this is our home!"

Wu Jingyi suddenly began to feel that she had some respect for Meng Shaoyuan.

This young master, as long as you don't have convulsions in your head, every word you say can reach your heart.

"I like you, my friend." Douglas patted Meng Shaoyuan: "I wish you good luck, maybe I won't see the day when you win in Shanghai, but when that day comes, I will do it for you in London Celebrating."

Dance music came.

Meng Shaoyuan stretched out his hand: "Miss Wu, are you dancing?"

Wu Jingyi took off her small dress: "Mr. Dong, is it convenient?"

"My pleasure, Miss Wu."

Douglas took the dress with a smile.

This is Wu Jingyi's first dance with Meng Shaoyuan.

The dance music is a waltz.

The charm of money is unlimited.

As soon as Meng Shaoyuan entered the dance floor, he blew a loud whistle.

The dance music immediately turned into a fast-paced Viennese waltz!

Shanghai Dance King, come back to the rivers and lakes!
The Viennese waltz is elegant and generous, with a cheerful rhythm, warm and smooth, and its speed is twice as fast as the waltz.

This kind of fast-paced dance is what Meng Shaoyuan likes.

At first, Wu Jingyi still couldn't let go.

But under Meng Shaoyuan's leadership, she gradually adapted to this rhythm.

Shanghai King of Dance!

Soon, everyone's attention was attracted by the couple.

They gathered together, clapped rhythmically, and whistled from time to time.

After several quick right turns in a row, Wu Jingyi was completely immersed in the rhythm.

She hasn't danced for a long time.

The last time her dance partner was also named An Guang.

……

"Dancing?"

Tian Qi asked.

"I, I won't."

Lin Xuan was a little shy.

Tian Qi said coldly:
"I teach you!"
