Volume 7 I've Been Here Chapter 0967 A Bureau
The Iron Abacus Unit is an outlier among the troops, a civilian among civilians, and its members are generally young. Apart from wearing military uniforms, they are actually not much different from ordinary primary school students. They usually have almost no military training, only physical education classes.
Nan Wuwei is an outlier among outliers. He runs 5.2 kilometers cross-country every day. It's not that he can only run this distance, but his physical condition is only suitable for running this distance. Running farther will damage his knees and lead to unhealthy development.
How could Nan Yi not care about his son's health? From the day Nan Wuwei started practicing martial arts, his physical condition had been monitored and the daily training volume had been carefully calculated.
After dinner, Nan Wuwei went to the playground again and jumped onto the horizontal bar to do the second exercise of abdominal rotation. He was seen spinning around the horizontal bar with his hands and abdomen as the center of the circle. He didn't look tired at all and seemed to be doing it with ease.
Circle after circle, after going around one hundred and twenty or so, he still had strength left, but he stopped. He couldn't stop because the skin on his knuckles had been a little worn out, and if he continued, he would be putting his body into a fight.
Nan Wuwei is still young, and he cannot frequently use the word "willpower" in physical training. To put it bluntly, breaking through the limits can be said to be overdrawing his vitality. Nan Wuwei does not need to be so anxious at all. He has enough time to proceed step by step.
"Nan Wuwei, have you ever thought about becoming a real soldier?" Chen Guotao stood in the distance and watched Nan Wuwei get off the horizontal bar, then walked up and said.
"Brother Guotao, you want to scare me to death, so you always come here quietly."
"Don't pretend. I know you have very good hearing. I'm asking you a question. Answer me seriously." Chen Guotao said seriously.
Nan Wuwei hesitated for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. My father wants me to bring honor to him and win a first-class merit while I'm still alive. I want to win two or three, and I'm working hard on it."
"You're bragging again. You have a chance to get a first-class merit. Just win the championship in an international competition. But forget about getting two. I'm afraid you can only get a second-class merit if you win the championship the second time."
As Chen Guotao spoke, he couldn't help feeling a little sad. If he wanted to win first-class merit, he would have to risk his life.
"Take one from the competition, and one from the others."
"Others?" Chen Guotao thought of the cryptography book he saw in the afternoon. "You don't want to make a difference in cryptography, do you?"
"No way?" Nan Wuwei laughed.
"In theory, yes. Our country's cryptography is much behind the West. If you can make achievements in this area, it won't be difficult to get first-class merit. But can you do it?"
"If you don't try hard, how will you know if it works?"
Chen Guotao gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, I wish you success. If you stay in the army, in a few years, I will have to call you the chief."
Being in the same school, Chen Guotao naturally knew the situation of the Iron Abacus Unit. There was a maximum age limit for its members. Once they reached the age, they either retired or took four more years of formal military courses. Like him, after graduation they would become lieutenant deputy company commander and start as platoon leader.
Chen Guotao loves the army and wants to stay in the army for life. At the same time, he also hopes that top talents like Nan Wuwei will stay in the army.
Nan Wuwei chatted with Chen Guotao for a while. When they had rested enough, he lay down on the ground and started doing push-ups.
The push-ups he did were a little different from the usual ones. Instead of just two movements of raising and lowering the body, there were six movements when broken down. He held his body up high with his hands, with his hands off the ground and clapping in front of his chest. Then his hands dropped to the ground and he held his body up high again, with his toes still on the ground and his hands clapping behind his hips. His hands dropped to the ground again, with his hands and feet exerting force on the ground at the same time, and his body flew into the air.
Repeat this process, up and down continuously.
The layman watches the excitement while the expert watches the details. Nan Wuwei's movements seem simple, as if anyone can do them, but Chen Guotao knows that to do push-ups like Nan Wuwei requires strong core strength. He tried to do it and almost hurt himself.
Chen Guotao watched, waited, and counted silently in his heart. Yesterday, Nan Wuwei did 141 sets, which is about 423 times. According to the rules he summarized, today is the day for Nan Wuwei to increase the number, and he should be able to do 143 sets.
As Chen Guotao expected, Nan Wuwei stopped after doing 143 sets, stretched his body a few times, and then lay on the ground again. He said to Chen Guotao with a smile: "Brother Guotao, it's your turn."
Chen Guotao smiled helplessly, came to Nan Wuwei, grabbed one of his hands and began to knead and pat it, "I will be going to the army for internship soon. After I leave, who will you find to give you a massage?"
"There will be new recruits coming in September, so just grab any one of them."
"You, stop bullying the newcomers, or they might cut you."
"Hehe, I'm still a child, how dare they do that?" Nan Wuwei knew very well that his age was his advantage, and other trainee soldiers would really be at a disadvantage if they played with him.
"You're sneaky." Chen Guotao pressed one hand and then switched to the other. "The school is going to have a shooting competition soon. Go cheer for me then."
"If I don't go, I won't have a chance to play. I haven't touched a gun for a month, and my hands are numb."
"I asked you to shoot once, and you dared to use up hundreds of bullets. As a civilian, who would dare to let you waste your time like this? Just wait and see. One day the instructor will let you shoot again when he is in a good mood." Chen Guotao paused, and then said, "You said you learned shooting from your father, so how good is your father's shooting level?"
"It's not bad. My dad likes shooting. He shoots thousands of rounds every time. It's just that his talent is not so good. The bullets he shoots are enough to feed several top snipers."
Before Nan Wuwei joined the army, Nan Yi told him that he should show his abilities to the fullest when he arrived at the army and not hide anything, but he was also told not to talk too much about family matters, especially those concerning Nan Yi.
After all, Nan Yi was also very hesitant about Nan Wuwei's future. He thought rationally and calmly that going into politics was the most suitable path for Nan Wuwei, but Nan Yi had a military complex in his bones and thought that joining the army was also a good choice for Nan Wuwei.
Nan Yi was very conflicted. He wanted to let Nan Wuwei choose between the two, but he was also afraid that once Nan Wuwei joined the army, it would give him the greatest honor. How could he not feel sorry for his own son?
No matter how highly conscious a person is, he would not laugh out loud when his son is honored, let alone someone like Nan Yi who has a low level of consciousness.
"Impossible. With your father's shooting style, even a pig can become a sharpshooter. Your father's shooting skills cannot be bad. Tell me, has your father ever been a soldier and served on the front line?"
"Brother Guotao, you think too highly of my father. He was only a militiaman." Nan Wuwei pulled his hand back, "Press his waist more."
Chen Guotao patted Nan Wuwei on the waist and said with a smile: "Didn't your father tell you that children have no waist?"
"My dad even said I was found in a trash can. You can't believe some of what adults say."
"Haha, you kid."
Chen Guotao likes Nan Wuwei, and Nan Wuwei also likes Chen Guotao. As they get along with each other, they develop feelings of elder brother and younger brother, and the seeds of comradeship also sprout.
Habits and comfort zones are scary things. Nan Wuwei has had the habit of exercising for seven years. He is also slowly falling into the comfort zone of the wake-up call. Perhaps after a long time, there will only be one option left for his future.
Different from Nan Wuwei's slightly sublimated momentum, Nan Yi is still circling around "Xiao Nan".
After returning to the guest room, Nan Yi fed Nan Ruoqi some fish paste and stayed in the room for a while to observe whether she had any abdominal distension. Not finding any abnormalities, he waited for her to have a bowel movement before leaving the room and returning to the casino.
After a round, Nan Yi found Zhao Shixian at a poker table.
The fight at the gambling table was tense. There were five people involved, Zhao Shixian, Boqiong and Liu Jiajia who surprised Nan Yi a little, an unfamiliar woman, and a man who should have good luck.
There was a slightly blackened scar on the man's face, running diagonally from his left eyebrow downward to his temple. Looking at the shape of the scar and the downward angle, Nan Yi had two conclusions in his mind: he was lying on the ground with his head buried and was cut by shrapnel from a shell; or he was scratched by a long-range sniper or projectile machine gun bullet.
Regardless of the possibility, the man most likely has military experience, and stray bullets are not blind, and the probability of them penetrating into the flesh is much higher than the probability of just brushing past it, so the man's luck is definitely not bad.
Nan Yi remembered the man's face and gave him a code name - Gun Scar.
Nan Yi knew Liu Jiajia. Although he and Boqiong had not met formally, they knew each other. There were three people at the same table, and they were playing the game of Poker, where it was easy to use the rules to bully the minority. So he did not approach the gambling table, but just stood three meters away and watched the game.
Judging from the chips on the gambling table, the minimum bet should be one thousand, and the lowest bet is also one thousand. This time it should be Boqiong's turn, because when it came to her, she threw another two thousand on the gambling table, and the total number of chips instantly became twelve thousand.
Boqiong's next buyer was Liu Jiajia. She hesitated for a moment and also threw out two thousand.
Nan Yi counted Liu Jiajia's chips, a total of less than 300,000. Compared with the others, her chips were pitifully few. Boqiong had a little over 2 million. According to the order of betting, Zhao Shixian had about 1.6 million, the strange woman had about 3 million, and Gun Scar had 2 million.
Zhao Shixian and the strange woman casually threw out two thousand chips one after another. When it came to Gun Scar, he laughed and said, "You don't even look at the cards. Okay, I'll raise it to four thousand."
Scarface is the last one to win, and the four people in front of him are all dead. This means that he is using four thousand to bet on eight thousand, instead of two thousand more than others. If he wins, it will be a good deal.
It was Bo Qiong's turn again, and she silently threw eight thousand on the table.
Liu Jiajia struggled for a while, but resisted the urge to look at the cards and also bet eight thousand.
Zhao Shixian and the strange woman were still straightforward and followed directly.
"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting. I met four female heroes at the same time. I'll raise the bet to see which female hero looks at her cards first. I'll get the top bet, 20,000."
The maximum bet is 20,000, so the highest bet should be 40,000, 50,000, or 60,000, between two and three times. Any higher will be unfair to those who call after looking at the cards.
Boqiong still didn't look at the cards and simply followed. Liu Jiajia was stuck for a long time, but finally caught up. Zhao Shixian and the strange woman followed in turn. It was Liu Jiajia's turn again. Her hand was deadlocked between the chips and the cards for a long time, but she gritted her teeth and threw out another 20,000 chips.
Instead, when it came to Zhao Shixian, she decisively picked up the cards on the table, took a quick look, and threw 50,000 chips on the table. "Good cards, I follow, you guys continue to bet."
"Sister, you want to try your luck on the third card? I'll help you carry it." The strange woman chuckled and threw out 20,000 chips.
The bigger the stakes are, the more people will be playing cards, and the more likely the person who checked the cards early will lose, especially when the cards in his hand are just a pair. The probability of the person who checked the cards early making a big pair or a straight is very high. Moreover, if more than one person follows after the person who checked the cards checks the cards, the pair in the hand of the person who checked the cards early is basically doomed.
If you have a lot of chips on the table and you also have small pairs, you will easily be killed by those who keep their cards muffled. If there are two or three players who keep their cards muffled and don't even look at their cards, you will feel more and more disappointed if you have small pairs. If any player plays a big pair, you will be dead.
There are many rounds of silence. Anyway, a lot of chips have been spread out. Most people will not be reluctant to open the cards. If there is an A among three cards, the cards will be opened. If the person looking at the cards likes to cheat, he will even open the cards if there is a flower card. This varies from person to person.
Scarface and Boqiong were still following in silence, but when it came to Liu Jiajia, she didn't dare to follow anymore. She picked up the cards, went through the standard card-looking process of playing Zhajinhua, put the cards back on the table, and calmly threw out 50,000 chips.
As the strange woman expected, Zhao Shixian only looked at two cards in the last round, and followed because they were the same suit. This time, she picked it up again and quickly looked at the third card, then smiled and said, "Lucky, I got it. Follow."
Zhao Shixian's operation was very confusing. No one could guess whether he had any cards or not.
Seeing Zhao Shixian following, Liu Jiajia's heart skipped a beat. Her cards were gold flowers, 5, 3, and 2 of clubs, the smallest gold flowers. If Zhao Shixian really went for the gold flowers, she would be doomed. You know, she had already sold out half of her chips, and there were only a few hundred thousand left on the table. She was not confident and was worried about losing money.
Nan Yi, who was standing next to him, shook his head. No matter whether Zhao Shixian had played a cheating card or not, Liu Jiajia was bound to lose the game.
Zhajinhua is the dog meat among gambling games and is not allowed to be played at banquets at all. Six out of ten other gambling games are scams, but Zhajinhua is nine out of ten scams. It is very easy to scam people by cheating and taking advantage of the rules.
The simplest method is for two or three people to cooperate at the gambling table. One of them looks at the cards. If there is a big card, the other party will try to trap it, so that the others can win more in one hand. Although Yang Gu may also trap a big card, the probability is very small, and the occasional failure will not affect the overall situation.
There should be no one at the gambling table in front of her, and Liu Jiajia would not be treated as a sheep, but her foundation was too weak and she had no momentum at all. Unless she was extremely lucky today, it would not take long for her to lose all her chips.
Looking at Zhao Shixian, Boqiong and the strange woman, all three of them have very strong auras, and they don't care about millions of dollars. Scarface's aura is slightly weaker, and his foundation is probably not that strong either.
Nan Yi first eliminated Liu Jiajia and Qiangba, and waited to see who would win or lose among the remaining three women of Zhao Shixian.
"Sister, let me help you raise your hand again. I will look at the cards in the next round." The strange woman still threw out 20,000 chips without any intention of looking at the cards.
Scar laughed, "Interesting, interesting, the first round of cards is so intense. I'm the only man at the table, I can't let down the reputation of a man, I'll continue to be quiet."
When it was Boqiong's turn to place bets, she first glanced at Liu Jiajia, then glanced at her cards, and then looked at Zhao Shixian. After her eyes stayed briefly on Zhao Shixian's face, she still threw out 20,000 chips and continued to bet.
Although just a few seconds ago, Liu Jiajia had decided on the strategy of playing one more round to see how the situation develops, but when it was her turn to bet, she hesitated again, bit her lip, picked up the cards that she had already looked at twice and took another look at them. After a struggle with the villain and whether to play along with the villain, she still managed to push out 50,000 chips with great difficulty.
When it was Zhao Shixian's turn, she picked up 50,000 chips and weighed them in her hand, complaining, "Alas, I've encountered an enemy card. Should I follow or not?"
"Sister, stop acting. I won't be fooled by you. Place your bets quickly. I want to see the cards."
"Haha, sister, I'm really in a dilemma. Forget it, let's follow you for one more round and see." Zhao Shixian muttered to herself, but her action of throwing the chips was very brisk.
The strange woman was an old gambler and had her own set of procedures for looking at cards. After about half a minute, she laughed and said, "Sister, you are right. I really got the wrong cards. I'll follow."
Three players look at their cards, and three players follow suit. Not everyone is trying to cheat. Scar picked up the cards on the table, and after seeing clearly what the cards were, his face turned gloomy and he decisively folded the cards.
Bo Qiong remained the same and threw out 20,000 chips very decisively.
Nan Yi, who was watching from the sidelines, figured out something was going on. Boqiong didn't care much about winning or losing. Her main purpose was to drag Liu Jiajia into the water.
Liu Jiajia and Xu Shiheng had a relationship, and Boqiong is now Xu Shiheng's wife. Although there should be no feelings between the two, he is nominally husband after all. A fake rival is still a rival, so how can you not deal with him if you run into him?
Look, Liu Jiajia's face has become very ugly. Her chips are only enough for her to follow one more round. After this round, if she wants to follow again, she has to change to new chips. It is unknown how many chips she can still exchange.
After another long ideological struggle, Liu Jiajia pushed out a mountain of 50,000 chips with great effort. She was unwilling to do so. She really didn't want to give up like this.
Seeing Liu Jiajia calling the bet, Nan Yi walked over to the female dealer and asked, "How many rounds do we have before we can compare cards?"
"You can only compare cards after three rounds."
When there is only one player left and several players are following, they will continue to play for three rounds. The person who has seen the cards can place a bet and choose another player who has seen the cards to compare cards with. This way, they can eliminate a competitor or get out of the game earlier.
Liu Jiajia was in a miserable state. Looking at Boqiong's posture, it would be strange if she didn't feel depressed for three rounds.
In other words, Liu Jiajia has to throw out at least 150,000 chips to know how great her chances of winning are.
When it was Zhao Shixian's turn, she withdrew her performance and directly threw out 50,000 chips.
At this point, there is no need to perform anymore. All that’s left is for the cards to speak for themselves. The time for a bayonet fight has come.
Seeing Zhao Shixian betting, the strange woman folded her cards directly. She just followed for a round to see if anyone else would fold. Since the two players before her followed, there was no need for her small pair to be put to death.
As expected, Bojong continued to be depressed.
Liu Jiajia no longer had so many ideological struggles. Her eyes were red with anger, so why bother struggling? She took out a card from her bag and handed it to the female dealer, saying resolutely, "Change it for 1.2 million."
As soon as the chips arrived, she threw out 50,000 chips neatly.
Another round passed, Bo Qiong continued to be depressed, Liu Jiajia and Zhao Shixian continued to follow...
Boqiong played seven rounds in a row. It was not until the eighth round that she looked at her cards. After looking at the cards, she directly threw out 50,000 chips.
The clattering sound of chips woke Liu Jiajia, who had just fallen into a trance. She actually threw out nearly half a million dollars on a deck of cards. This half a million dollars was her salary for being the heroine of a movie. She had to rub her lips until they bled to get this amount out of Luo Zhaohui.
After a while of feeling sorry for herself, Liu Jiajia regained her sanity and placed a bet of 50,000 chips to compete with others. But when it came to choosing a partner, she hesitated again, "Who should I compete with?"
After hesitating for a while, she went to find Boqiong.
Bo Qiong sneered and turned over his own cards. "No need to compare."
Liu Jiajia took a closer look and saw that Boqiong's cards were 356, with different suits and the first few small cards ranked from the bottom.
Swish, Liu Jiajia's face turned black instantly.
You picked the wrong person to play cards with!
Zhao Shixian glanced at Liu Jiajia and threw out 50,000 chips.
Finally, the time came for the cards to be revealed. Liu Jiajia, who was already feeling guilty, quickly threw out 50,000 chips, then turned over her own cards and said, "Show the cards."
Zhao Shixian looked at Liu Jiajia's cards, pretending to be dumbfounded, and patted her chest, "It was too dangerous, too dangerous, luckily I resisted and didn't open the cards, I'm sorry Miss Liu."
As he spoke, Zhao Shixian turned over his cards, which turned out to be diamond 532, the same size as Liu Jiajia's cards.
According to the rules of Zhajinhua, the suit is not compared. If the cards are of the same size, whoever proposes to open the cards loses.
Looking at Zhao Shixian's cards, Liu Jiajia wanted to slap herself eighteen times. Why didn't she insist on playing a few more rounds? Why did she open the cards so early? Why didn't she wait for the other party to open the cards?
After three soul-searching interrogations, Liu Jiajia felt very hurt.
No matter how distressed Liu Jiajia was, the female dealer faithfully completed her job, sorted the chips on the table, took a 2% commission, and gave the rest to Zhao Shixian.
Nan Yi frowned slightly, remembering that in his previous life, he played business poker with others. After playing for a whole night, most of the chips went into the hands of the casino.
Don't underestimate the 2% commission. A deck of cards in Zhajinhua can be drawn very quickly. If each deck is very large, a deck can draw 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and 100 decks can draw 2 or 3 million yuan. 300 or 400 decks can be drawn easily in one night.
Usually big casinos don’t offer games like Poker. Even if they do, they charge for booking the whole table or take a cut from the winners after closing. It’s rare to see people taking money from the card table. It looks a bit ugly to see this casino taking money from the table.
The female dealer sorted out the chips, took out a new deck of cards, let everyone check the cards, shuffled them, cut off a few cards at random, and started dealing the cards starting with Zhao Shixian, the banker.
In the new game, Liu Jiajia started to get excited. As the last player, she actually raised her bet to 20,000 yuan and kept betting. She bet for four rounds in a row. The strange woman looked at her cards and folded. Bo Qiong looked at his cards and followed suit...
As the game progressed, Scar the Gun also folded his cards, leaving only Zhao Shixian, Liu Jiajia and Boqiong. The difference was that this time, Liu Jiajia and Zhao Shixian were still playing cards, while Boqiong had already looked at her cards.
After seven rounds of silence and three rounds of silence by Boqiong, Liu Jiajia had already thrown out 141,000 chips, and she still had over 700,000 and less than 800,000 chips.
She continued to play for another three rounds. Liu Jiajia had a total of ten rounds. When Zhao Shixian had her ninth round, she picked up the cards, twisted them open, took a look, and then discarded them.
Only Boqiong and Liu Jiajia were left at the table.
When it was Boqiong's turn to bet, she still threw out 50,000 chips without changing her expression or heartbeat.
Liu Jiajia estimated the chips on the table, thinking that if he played two more rounds, he would almost win back what he lost in the previous round, so he threw out another 20,000 chips.
Nan Yi vaguely felt that his initial idea was wrong. There might be someone behind this gambling table, and it was Bo Qiong. Maybe Zhao Shixian was also involved. Thinking about it, he winked at Tiger Cub, who had very sharp eyesight, and then signaled to Liu Jiajia.
If he guessed correctly, Liu Jiajia would definitely win a big card.
After two rounds of silence, Liu Jiajia picked up the cards on the table, looked at them, and directly threw out 50,000 chips.
After a while, Tiger Cub walked back to Nan Yi and whispered in his ear, "I only saw two, one Ace of Spades, one King of Spades, and the last one was black, so I'm not sure if it's a spade."
Nan Yi nodded and thought, "If the third card is the Queen of Clubs, Liu Jiajia can lose a little. If it is the Queen of Spades, she will lose a little more. If it is the Queen of Spades, haha, this hand will be good, and she will have to spend all her belongings."
At the card table, there were flashes of swords and sabers, you bet 50,000, I bet 50,000, and no one asked to open the cards. The betting speed was very fast. In less than a minute, Liu Jiajia's chips were exhausted again.
"In exchange for seven hundred thousand."
Liu Jiajia handed the card to the female dealer again.
Change more first, then change less later. I guess this is all Liu Jiajia has.
Nan Yi shook his head again. This woman, Liu Jiajia, was too easily taken advantage of. Perhaps it was because the money was too easy to make.
Seven hundred thousand, follow thirteen rounds, and the cards will be opened in the fourteenth round.
When Boqiong turned over her cards, the glittering golden leopard "222" blinded Liu Jiajia's eyes.
"I won't get tired of rubbing it, just use the shovel..."
Seeing Boqiong's cards, Liu Jiajia couldn't help but spit out a string of swear words. Without even revealing her own cards, she directly picked up the bag on the chair and left in anger.
If Nan Yi exchanged these two decks of cards, he would want to overturn the table. It was so fucking infuriating. One deck of cards was the same size, but the other deck was only one level larger. He was really being raped.
After Liu Jiajia left, the game continued. The following cards were nothing magical. Ace or King were often the winners. Having a small pair basically guaranteed victory. Nan Yi looked at more than fifty decks of cards, and a straight or above appeared only seven times, and rival cards only appeared twice.
This is normal poker, and this is the normal frequency of enemy cards meeting. If there is no ghost, the probability of leopards meeting leopards, and leopards and straight flushes meeting is extremely low. If such enemy cards appear twice in a game, it will definitely be right to overturn the gambling table.
After another round of cards, Zhao Shixian said to the others at the gambling table, "I'm hungry. I'm going to go get something to eat. Excuse me, everyone."
"Are you coming back?" Boqiong asked indifferently.
"No, we'll fight again tomorrow." Zhao Shixian denied the answer, turned back to her bodyguard Thirteenth Sister and pointed at the chips on the table, then stood up and walked to Nan Yi, "Why didn't you call me when you came back?"
"I didn't call you because you were having so much fun." Nan Yi said with a smile, "I won a lot."
"Sprinkle some water."
"Since you won the money, can you return my one million to me?"
Zhao Shixian glanced at Nan Yi and said angrily, "You are so stingy. I will return it to you and give you some red."
"Okay, Queen Zhao, what would you like to eat? Xiao Yizi will serve you."
"Eat you." Zhao Shixian sneered, "Let's go. I'm really hungry."
After taking the elevator and entering the western restaurant and ordering the food, Nan Yi asked the question in his mind, "When did you and Bo Qiong discuss setting up a trap for Liu Jiajia?"
