Even if the bet is small, being shut out with a bomb is not a pleasant feeling!
"If you don't play your cards, you'll lose!" Lin Tian looked calmly at the two people.
Ye Feng and his friend exchanged glances, both with wry smiles on their lips.
Who doesn't want to play their cards? But what cards to play with?
Even two Aces can't win! And Lin Tian's initial 3 to Ace ant that the two peasants had no bombs at all.
But in Lin Tian's view, what does it matter if you have a bomb?
"Boom!"
Mimicking the sound of a bomb with his mouth, Lin Tian placed four 2s on the table, with only two cards left in his hand.
Ye Feng and his friend shook their heads helplessly, as anyone who regularly plays Dou Di Zhu knows what Lin Tian's remaining cards are.
In Dou Di Zhu, Lin Tian was the landlord, so the two cards left in his hand were definitely high cards.
"Can't beat!"
"Who can play against this big hand!" Ye Feng grumbled, acknowledging the loss.
"Boom!" Lin Tian mimicked the sound of a bomb again: "Joker bomb!"
Shut out with two bombs, the landlord won this round, and it was a triple payout. Although the stakes weren't high, this feeling left Ye Feng very frustrated.
Ye Feng didn't want to play cards with soone this overwhelmingly lucky, so he asked, "Mr. Chen, what's your visit about this ti, wanting to steal sothing?"
From Ye Feng's tone, it was clear he and Chen Moxiang were well acquainted.
"It's not looking for you, it's him!" Chen Moxiang pointed to Lin Tian, sitting next to Ye Feng.
"You?" Ye Feng looked at Lin Tian, laughing coldly: "What do you want?"
"I want to ask Brother Feng for help!" Lin Tian said with a sincere tone, as Ye Feng was much older than him, calling him brother was just right.
"Help with what?"
"You're aware of the cultural exhibit at the Kanyue City Cultural Center, right?" Lin Tian asked, looking at Ye Feng.
"Yes, I'm aware!" Ye Feng nodded again.
"This Kanyue City exhibit has fifty artifacts, all from our country. These are treasures of the Celestial Dragon Continent civilization, though they were stolen when the continent suffered an invasion from Sakula Country!" Lin Tian said solemnly.
With his left hand on his heart, Lin Tian continued seriously: "As soone from the Celestial Dragon Continent, I want to steal these artifacts back. Since they were left by our ancestors for the descendants, we should return these artifacts to the Celestial Dragon Continent!"
"And not let them be controlled by so foreigners, exhibited in the Celestial Dragon Continent. To see our ancestors' artifacts, we shouldn't have to depend on these foreigners, nor should we have to pay for tickets, letting them profit from our money!" Lin Tian finished, and his deep black eyes looked at Ye Feng.
"Brother Feng! I've co to you today to ask for your help!"
The room fell into complete silence, and the cigarette in Ye Feng's hand dropped to the ground, its ashes drifting in the air...
Ye Feng stood there, dumbfounded, not expecting Lin Tian to approach him for this reason.
"Brother Feng, I need you to join my team!" Lin Tian sincerely invited again.
Ye Feng's dark eyes showed a hint of change, then he replied: "If you can kneel before , then I might consider it!"
"Ye Feng, don't go too far!" Chen Moxiang couldn't hold back: "People have feelings. If you don't want to help, just say so. No need to humiliate him!"
"He's the one asking to join his team, so shouldn't he et my condition?" Ye Feng's simple statent left Chen Moxiang speechless.
"Mr. Chen, no need to say more!" Seeing Chen Moxiang about to argue more with Ye Feng, Lin Tian suddenly interjected.
There's personal dignity and there's national dignity.
Which is more important, personal face, or the nation's honor?
This answer was clear in Lin Tian's mind.
Coming before Ye Feng, Lin Tian took a deep breath: "I hope that by kneeling, you'll agree to my request!"
And with that, Lin Tian bent his knees, his body tilted, and was about to kneel before Ye Feng.
Just as Lin Tian's knees were about to touch the ground, suddenly his body halted, supported by a pair of strong hands.
"Your sincerity moved !" Ye Feng, who had a stern face all along, now smiled, the hands supporting Lin Tian's body, were indeed Ye Feng's.
"You and I share the sa blood!" Ye Feng said seemingly driven by sothing.
This statent made everyone in the room grin, exposing their white teeth to the air.
That's right, we share the sa blood, with black eyes and yellow skin, we're all descendants of the dragon!
This statent also ant Ye Feng agreed to Lin Tian's request!
"This is a covert operation, with state support, but fraught with danger. It's still not too late to regret!" Lin Tian hadn't expected Ye Feng to change his stance so quickly, hastily explaining the danger of the operation.
"If I can steal these back, it'll be worth it even if I die!" Ye Feng guaranteed, patting his chest.
"Thank you, Brother Feng!" Lin Tian was so moved by Ye Feng that he was speechless.
"No need for thanks, let's just hope we can work together smoothly to steal the items!" Ye Feng took out a cigarette and handed it to Lin Tian.
"Also, what happened just now was a test to see if you, as a young person, have what it takes to be our leader. No need to take it to heart!"
Facing Ye Feng's explanation, Lin Tian just smiled slightly.
After all, he was young, and being young ant lacking authority, but Lin Tian had already proven himself through his actions.
To assemble a team and successfully complete the mission, sacrificing a bit of personal dignity was nothing.
While Lin Tian and Ye Feng were smoking, Chen Moxiang told Ye Feng everything without leaving anything out, which made Ye Feng frown deeply, realizing this covert operation was extrely dangerous for the first ti.
If things go smoothly, all will be well. If they fail, they'd face being disowned by the state and receiving no aid, potentially tried by foreign courts, a particularly grim outco!
"Then we must carefully plan tomorrow's selection plan!" As the head of the operation, Ye Feng always planned and discussed beforehand during each obstructive action, ensuring the success of the plan and the safety of his companions.
The door closed tightly, and the group followed Ye Feng down the corridor to a hidden basent. Once the basent door was opened, what was inside was breathtaking.
Night gear, various electronic devices, ropes, unknown high-tech equipnt, and those ancient artifacts, all illustrating what this basent was used for.
"This is my base, forgive the ss!" Ye Feng introduced the purpose of this basent.
"Nothing to forgive, this is our base now!" Lin Tian laughed.
