Chapter 21: The Bet Beyond the Table
Ma Wenjie pulled a cigarette case from his pocket, lit a cigarette for himself, and placed his lighter on the table.
Acting with casual familiarity, Li Annan snatched up the lighter, pulled out a cigarette of his own, and lit up.
After both men took a drag, Ma Wenjie spoke first. "Let's make a bet. Who do you think will get shot once someone gets the gun?"
Without waiting for Li Annan to answer, he pointed at Zhang Yuan's cards. "Just looking at this hand, it's impossible for him to survive. I bet he dies."
Li Annan, however, looked at the cards on Baili Qiangsheng's section of the table and offered a different opinion. "His hand makes survival just as unlikely. I bet he dies."
The two men who were singled out felt their hearts jolt. They subconsciously checked their own cards. Even though the faces were still obscured, they had already deduced what they were holding.
Zhang Yuan: Shepherd, Sheep.
Baili Qiangsheng: Shepherd, Wolf, Sheep.
Zhang Yuan frowned in deep thought.
