my old life

2188 The Plan Has Changed
It has been less than an hour since I discarded the cards. I thought that the playing cards would be swept away by the sea, or soaked in the sea and sink to the bottom...

But God made a big joke on me. I don’t know if it’s because the quality of the poker is too good or the wind direction is wrong tonight. The poker cards are floating beside the yacht!

Just now, the middle-aged Pingtou put forward a condition of 1000 million US dollars, and these poker cards in the sea can instantly make a flaw in this game!

I saw the poker in the sea but immediately turned my head and pretended not to see it. I knew why Mike's change was in my heart. They screwed up this scene!

Now I'm in a very bad situation, they screwed up the show but I have to help them smooth things over, because once the situation is broken, it may not be a matter of money!
Mike has always had doubts in his heart. He didn't find the playing cards in the toilet tank. Even if the middle-aged crew cut it forged, he knew in his heart that it was a fake!

When I looked out from the gap in the sack, someone bought something. I didn't see it clearly at the time, but I felt that it should be a poker caught in the sea!

The vast sea will never float poker cards for no reason, let alone poker cards that are exactly the same as those on the yacht... Mike should understand that I am deceiving him!
Faced with the change of Mike's attitude at this moment, I don't know what will happen next. Maybe I will really be drowned by the sinking sea just now!

Soon Jennifer brought over a blanket, and I immediately wrapped it around my body without saying a word, but it didn't help at all to moisten my whole body.

"Jennifer takes Hawkeye to the waiting room, and Nisha gets my clothes." Mike commanded in an orderly manner, and at this moment I began to mutter in my heart.

Mike has found the playing cards in the ocean, but why does he keep playing?Now I'm really not sure what he thinks...

Back in the lounge, I asked for a cigarette to light up. The pain could not destroy my willpower, it would only stimulate my fighting spirit!
Soon Ernisa brought a set of clothes, which seemed to be prepared in advance, or could there be such a coincidence?
"Put it on, this is the casual clothes that Mike brought with him, it's brand new." Celisha explained, and I nodded without revealing it.

"Thank you."

I took off the wet clothes on my body in front of Jennifer and Sweet Ernisa, I didn't evade anything, the rivers and lakes really change a person!

All the scars on my body are like witnesses from the past. The thousand-eyed Shura behind me covered the scars, but it couldn't cover my heart!

After drying her hair and putting on a new suit, it felt okay, and at the same time Mike appeared.

"Mike, thank you." I took the initiative to stand up and express my gratitude. I want to cooperate with him to continue acting and see what tricks he will do next!
"Sit down, it seems to fit you well." Mike handed over a cigar directly, and I took it without hesitation and lit it.

Now whether it's clothes or cigars, I 'bought' them with 1000 million US dollars, and I could hear them clearly when they blackmailed me!
I lowered my head and smoked my cigar and waited for Mike to speak. If he wants to play a trick, I will definitely give him a trick.
"Hawkeye, do you know what I found in the sea just now?" Mike took the initiative to ask, and at the same time put his hand in his pocket.

"What did you find?" I asked pretending to be surprised, not knowing what kind of plane Mike was planning...

"Playing cards." Mike took out two soaked playing cards from his pocket, and there were traces of my welding on the back of the cards, and I was dumbfounded immediately!

How could he bring this up in the open?How could he expose his conspiracy plan?

I don't know what Mike's intention is to directly expose this matter. It may be a temptation or a routine. What exactly is he trying to do?
Mike looked at me straight, as if he wanted to find the answer in my expression, but now I was shivering from the cold, which was just enough to cover up my surprise...

"Ah Choo!" I rubbed my nose and put on a listless look. I didn't feel the danger just now, but now I feel that the danger is approaching!

Once this game is broken, Mike will definitely kill me!If it were me, I would make the same choice!

"Do you know whose poker these are?" Jennifer next to me asked, but I took a sip of my cigar and didn't answer right away.

If I say that I threw these poker cards into the sea, then Mike's play will be screwed up tonight, and I might not even have a chance to survive!

If I say the poker isn't mine, then the scene won't show, and Mike shouldn't do anything to me...  

After all, it was the $1000 million condition that 'saved' me, not the deck of cards in the sea!
"Whose cards belong to them? Why are they in the sea?" I asked pretending to be curious, but didn't admit that these cards belonged to me.

"Aren't these pokers yours?" Mike asked back. Through his expression and tone of voice, I immediately shook my head and said no.

Generally speaking, when a person wants to get a certain result, his tone and attitude will have some persuasive feeling in it, and vice versa.

"Take a closer look, these poker should be yours!" Mike's words made my heart skip a beat. What the hell is this going to do?

"Ah? Is it mine?" I pretended to be surprised. I gave him the steps just now, but why didn't he want it?
I picked up the poker and looked it over. There were traces of my welding on the two pokers. Although they were soaked by sea water, they could still be seen.

"Mike, didn't those people bring these cards? Or were they thrown into the sea from the toilet tank?"

I deliberately played a smoke bomb. At this moment, I dare not admit that these poker cards are mine, or I may be killed!
If I wanted to explain, I would have explained it long ago. Now that I have been tortured and accepted the condition of the lion's mouth, how can I send myself into the fire pit again?
"I was a step late when I went to check the water tank. I thought you were really caught. Now that I think about it, they probably framed you on purpose!"

Mike put on a calm look, completely standing on my side and speaking for me, but I thought to myself, what did he do long ago?
"Ah? They deliberately framed me?" I muttered, I really don't know what kind of medicine Mike is selling in the gourd. Is he going to give me 'revenge'?
"Just now they asked for 1000 million US dollars as a condition, but I didn't agree!"

"No promise?"

For a moment I was at a loss, how could this happen?Isn't the purpose of their game to blackmail me?
etc!Could it be that Mike knows he screwed up the game, but he can make it through in a reasonable way?

Facing this moment, I am a little at a loss, and I have no defense at all, and if I am not careful, I will fall into another trap!

"Wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom..." I stood up holding my stomach, and went to the bathroom without any explanation.

Now I need time to go through it, I need time to think about Mike's change, change of plans at this moment!

I found a cubicle in the bathroom, smoked a cigar and thought quietly, if I were Mike, how would I solve this situation?

In fact, Mike didn't show too much from the beginning to the end. He just came out as a bystander to "smooth the field" for me. If this game is broken, will it be another change?
Just now Mike said that he did not agree to the request of 1000 million US dollars, so extortion is not valid, and it is not valid to catch me...

correct!Here lies the problem!

If I admit that the playing cards in the sea are mine, then I have been counted once... As a person who was counted and thrown into the sea to take a bath, what is the first thought?
Obviously the first thought must be revenge, then Mike will definitely use this to make a fuss...

After I figured it out, I left the bathroom. Mike was still waiting for me on the sofa. It was already past three o'clock in the morning.

Mike said before that he would eat supper at [-]:[-] in the morning and that he would have a party, but he didn't expect that tonight's 'snack' plus 'party' would be really exciting!
"Is it better?" Mike looked concerned, and he felt hypocrisy in his bones!

"much better."

"I must discuss this matter with you tonight! Revenge for you!"

When I heard this, I could tell, Mike really wanted to avenge me, but he wouldn't want to send me to the gambling table again, would he?
If I'm sent to the gambling table again, wouldn't that give the other party another chance to catch a thousand?
