Chapter 1261: False Win!

Chapter 1261: False Win!

Inside the lobby.

After 5 am.

The quiet room slowly becomes noisy.

The spectators were discussing Dong Xuebing’s play. He was discarding the tiles recklessly and letting other players win. What’s worse was that he did not thinks he had discarded the wrong tiles. He continued to discard tiles without thinking. He acted as if he lost because the other players had good hands.

No one knows what to say about him.

One round…

Three rounds…

Five rounds…

“3 characters.”

“Win!”

After Song Yuhu became the banker, he won five consecutive times.

Song Yuhu had big and small wins. He did not care about his hand as long as he could continue to be the banker. With Mr. Wei and Ms. Leng’s help, he won easily.

Consecutive wins as a banker will add additional points. Small wins will become big wins, and big wins will become bigger wins. Dong Xuebing had discarded the winning tiles, and his 46 million USD became 38 million USD within half an hour.

His money will be gone in no time if this continues.

This round ended, and Song Yuhu smiled. He is going to be the banker in the next round.

Before the next round started, Zhang Longjuan called Dong Xuebing. “Take a break, Xiao Dong. Come here for a smoke.”

Dong Xuebing nodded and walked to Zhang Longjuan.

Song Yuhu, Mr. Wei, and Ms. Leng left their seats for the bathroom and had a drink.

Dong Xuebing sat beside Zhang Longjuan, and she lit a cigarette for him. She smiled. “You don’t know how to play mahjong.”

Dong Xuebing smoked and said. “Didn’t I tell you that I only know the rules? The playing style here is different from how we play at home.

Shen Xiaomei thought to herself. This is more than different.

Shen Xiaoyan said. “We saw your tiles earlier. You should not discard those tiles.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “I know I should not discard some of those tiles, but those were useless to me. How am I going to win if I do not discard them?”

“But did you win?” Shen Xiaomei interrupted. “You did not even win once.”

Shen Xiaomei nodded. “Some tiles must never be discarded even if you cannot win. It is better than discarding and letting another player win.”

Dong Xuebing listened and said. “Ok. I will try later.”

Shen Xiaomei looked at him. “How about you let Ms. Zhang play for you? You are left with over 30 million USD now, and you will lose everything if you carry on.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “It’s all right. It does not matter if you lose everything.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Don’t worry. It is not my turn to be the banker. I will win when it’s my turn. Don’t be anxious. It’s only after 5 am. Let me tease them for a while. Haha…” Dong Xuebing was not anxious. If he wants to win, he will win big. These small wins mean nothing to him. Since he sat at the mahjong table, he decided to teach them a lesson when he was the banker. He will let them win now and let them lose everything. It is the same strategy they used against Sis Zhang earlier. He is going to do the same thing to them!

Lose?

Dong Xuebing only lost about ten million USD.

This is just starting.

Dong Xuebing replied confidently. “Wait for me to be the banker. Let them be happy for now.”

Shen Xiaomei tapped her forehead. “You might lose everything before you become the banker.”

“Is it possible? I will be the banker after Song Yuhu.” Dong Xuebing felt he would become a banker soon.

Dong Xuebing looked at Zhang Longjuan.

Zhang Longjuan nodded. “This is possible. You discard your tiles recklessly, and the other two players are ‘feeding’ Song Yuhu with the tiles he needs. He can continue winning with his skills.”

“Ah…”

“You must be careful.”

“All right. I will win this round.” Dong Xuebing decided and looked at Song Yuhu and the rest. He smiled. “Their happiness will end now.”

Shen Xiaomei mumbled. “How are you going to win?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “I will win. I am going.”

Shen Xiaoyan reminded. “Remember what I said. Don’t discard your tiles recklessly, Mr. Dong.”

Dong Xuebing walked toward the mahjong table and waved to her.

The spectator seats.

The guests were getting impatient.

“Are we continuing to watch?”

“That’s right. It’s boring.”

“It should be interesting because the stakes are high. But…”

“This is a one-sided game. What’s so interesting about it?”

“That young man is a noob. You can tell he seldom plays mahjong. How is he going to win?”

“Let’s go.”

“Never mind. Let’s watch until this game is over.”

“Yes. Anyway, his 30 million USD can last him around an hour more. He might lose everything before an hour. Mr. Song is on a winning streak.”

“Let’s watch for a while more.”

“Sigh… I thought it would be an interesting game.”

“That’s right. He had lost 10 million USD.”

No one felt Dong Xuebing would win, but they did not know he would lose so fast. This is no longer losing money. He is giving his winnings to the other players. He had won over 40 million USD earlier and should stop then. Why did he insist on playing mahjong? He doesn’t even know the basics and is discarding his tiles recklessly.

Everyone returned after a short break.

Dong Xuebing smiled and looked at Song Yuhu, Mr. Wei, and Ms. Leng until the hairs on their back stood.

What are you looking at?

Why are you smiling at us?

How can you smile when you lose almost ten million USD?

Song Yuhu and the rest shook their heads. After a few rounds of mahjong, they don’t need to think when discarding their tiles. This is because he does not know how to play, and they don’t need to play cautiously. They would win anyway.

Song Yuhu smiled. “I still don’t know your name.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “My surname is Dong.”

“Mr. Dong.” Song Yuhu nodded. “Let’s continue.”

Dong Xuebing smiled and replied. “Sure. Let’s continue. Haha…”

Although Dong Xuebing looked the same, Senior Zhou, Zhang Longjuan, and others noticed he had changed. He was giving out a different energy.

Senior Zhou frowned. “Xiao Song.”

“Ah?” Song Yuhu turned. “Yes, Senior Zhou?”

Senior Zhou looked at Dong Xuebing and said softly to Song Yuhu. “Be careful. Don’t be careless.”

Don’t be careless? Is Senior Zhou asking me to be careful of this young man? Song Yuhu nodded. “I know.”

Dong Xuebing looked at Senior Zhou and smiled.

Senior Zhou returned a smile to Dong Xuebing.

Shen Xiaomei asked softly. “Can Mr. Dong win, Ms. Zhang?”

“I don’t know.” Zhang Longjuan looked at Dong Xuebing’s back and smiled. “But his energy changed.”

Shen Xiaomei replied. “What can he do after his energy change? His energy cannot help him win.”

“Haha… I don’t know about this. Maybe this brat has some tricks up his sleeves.” Zhang Longjuan knows Dong Xuebing the longest and understands him more than the twins.

“He got tricks up his sleeves?” Shen Xiaoyan was puzzled.

Zhang Longjuan smiled. “Just watch him. He said he would win this round.”

This round started.

But the energy of this round was different.

After Senior Zhou’s reminder, Song Yuhu was going all out. He was not reckless because Dong Xuebing did not know how to play. He was cautious about every tile he discarded.

Mr. Wei and Ms. Leng also played cautiously.

But Dong Xuebing was the same. He continued to ‘Chow’ and ‘Pong’ without thinking. He did not heed Shen Xiaoyan’s reminder and discarded his tiles recklessly.

“5 Characters.”

Dong Xuebing had discarded an unseen tile midway through the game.

Many people got nervous for him. Watching Dong Xuebing play mahjong feels like they were watching a horror movie scene.

Senior Zhou glanced at Dong Xuebing and noticed the changes in the latter’s eyes.

The game entered the last phase. Song Yuhu and Mr. Wei were waiting for their winning tiles. Dong Xuebing was also waiting for his final tile to win.

Zhang Longjuan and the rest watched Dong Xuebing’s hand from the back. Although he had discarded a few dangerous tiles, he still had a chance to win.

Yes, he might win, but the chances are low.

Dong Xuebing needs ‘9 Bamboo’ to win, but only one ‘9 Bamboo’ is left.

Three ‘9 Bamboo’ had been discarded. Zhang Longjuan also might not win if she was playing.

The chances of winning are too slim.

Also, Song Yuhu is waiting for more tiles to win.

The game continued…

Dong Xuebing did not get the ‘9 Bamboo’ he needed.

Song Yuhu looks like he will win, as he got a better hand.

Dong Xuebing did not say anything. He picked it up when it was his turn to grab a tile. It was a character tile. ‘3 Character.’

Shen Xiaomei and Shen Xiaoyan saw that tile Dong Xuebing grabbed.

‘3 Character’

It is not the winning tile again.

They hoped Dong Xuebing would get ‘9 Bamboo’.

But Dong Xuebing slammed the tile on the table and said something that made Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei’s jaws drop. “Self-drawn win!”
