A New Addition (406)

The hidden card dealt to Gu Jinglian was an Ace and the hidden card was a K. It was exactly 21 points. He was shockingly lucky. This meant that Qingjiu was bound to lose.

No matter what his hidden card was, the open card was a 2 of Spades, a particularly low-value. No matter the value of the hidden card, there was nothing he could do about it.

But Gu Jinglian hesitated.

Should he call for another card?

He'd bust. That way, he'd lose. He'd lose a finger, but at least he could save Qingjiu for this round.

Should he?

Gu Jinglian's gaze fell to his hand. In the midst of his hesitation, Qingjiu said, "Boss, you don't have to… you don't have to protect me…"

He knew what he was thinking! Gu Jinglian frowned but said nothing.

Qingjiu said however, "The hidden card in your hand is an Ace, isn't it?"

Gu Jinglian looked startled that he had guessed correctly.
