The sun in the southern United States is bright and high, with a slightly humid warm wind blowing in the air. The town near the Mississippi River is still so clear and cute even on a hot afternoon.

The two of them walked along the spotless road, and their parallel steps were crisp. Cynthia seemed to feel a little overbearing and said apologetically: "Sorry, you won't blame me for taking my own actions, right?"

Xie Kai smiled and looked at the road ahead, "There is a saying in China that it is better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Not only do we meet by chance, but you also invite each other. The level is higher than that of the ancient Chinese. How could I blame you?"

Cynthia's beautiful noodles bloomed like flowers, and she said with great interest: "Is this true? How do you say Chinese? What is the best invitation to meet? Say it again."

Xie Kai smiled and shook his head, and said warmly: "Although Chinese is good, it will lose its flavor if it is changed to English. In short, the meaning is that invitation is a deliberate creation, and encountering by chance means a certain kind of fate. We meet by chance first and then invite, which not only has fate, but also fully utilizes people's subjective initiative, and has the benefits of both methods."

Cynthia said with relief: "You said it so well, that's what I think. I have to say that Chinese is both philosophical and very plain, unlike our philosophy. Although it is profound, you must study it to understand the truth."

Xie Kaihu laughed and said, "I'm afraid not, even if you study your philosophy, you may not understand it. Just like the Germans who claim to be the best in philosophy, they launched world wars twice. What kind of idiot will challenge the whole world twice in a row?"

Cynthia laughed, and her beautiful eyes shone: "You are really humorous, and it's fun to talk to you. I feel more and more that inviting you is a very right decision."

Xie Kai stopped at the right time and said, "Maybe. By the way, where are we going now?"

Cynthia said: "We first go to the police station to pick up the car, then go home, and of course we also need to buy something."

Xie Kai said strangely: "You still have to drive? Isn't your house in town?"

Cynthia smiled and said, "You'd better stop asking, maybe you'll get a surprise."

Xie Kai didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

The two were talking and laughing, and as they passed by a big house, a voice suddenly came: "Hey! Sheriff, is that your boyfriend? Why don't you introduce it to us?"

The two of them turned around together and saw a big head holding a cigar in their mouths poking out of the window.

Cynthia smiled at Xie and said, "Don't be surprised, this is our mayor, Bobby." Then she replied, "You are wrong, Bobby, we are just ordinary friends."

The mayor said unbelievably: "Come on, Cynthia, you smile like a sunflower. You have never seen you so happy. There is nothing embarrassing about it. Come on, bring him to see us."

Cynthia said to Xie Kai again: "I'm so sorry, that's how he speaks."

Xie Kai said: "It doesn't matter, he is just more enthusiastic."

The mayor said again: "Hey, brunette, I guess you are Chinese, right?"

Xie Kai said: "Yes, you are very smart."

The mayor said proudly: "It's nothing difficult. Apart from Indians, there have never been yellow people in the town. You don't look like an Indian, and the Japanese are not as tall as you."

Xie Kai was speechless and had to admit that the mayor was really smart.

Cynthia took the aisle and said, "Okay, Bobby, thank you for your invitation. You've seen him and we're leaving."

The mayor raised his hand and said, "Don't do this, Cynthia, Judge Charlie and Prosecutor Roger are all here. We are playing cards and bring your boyfriend in and play two games."

Cynthia shrugged her shoulders and said, "Forget it, you almost won over my leg hair last time, I won't be fooled by you."

Xie Kai said: "Is this a casino?"

Cynthia said: "No, it's just a club, but there's no entertainment in the town. Sometimes everyone plays cards together. Of course, I don't like these, but I just occasionally get together."

Xie Kaixin said, you can really get together with the public security, procuratorate and court, plus a mayor.

The mayor refused to give in and said: "Don't be so stingy, Cynthia, maybe your boyfriend likes it. You know, China is different from before, but now they are rich."

Cynthia asked Xie Kai, "Do you want to play?"

Xie Kai shrugged and said, "Look at you. If you want me to avenge you, I don't mind winning them all."

Cynthia said gently: "Thank you, I'm glad you said that. But they are very cunning and will definitely join forces to deal with you."

Xie Kai smiled disdainfully and said, "Will they be more cunning than CIA's?"

Cynthia smiled and said, "Okay, it's still early anyway, so I'll go play for a few."

The mayor was impatient: "Hey, have you agreed? Please hurry up for God's sake, everyone is waiting."

Cynthia said, "Stop quarrel, Bobby, we'll be there soon." Then she said to Xie Kai: "Let's go, let's go in."

Xie Kai nodded and followed her in.

Cynthia glanced at him and asked softly, "Will you really win them all?"

Xie Kai said gently: "I will just talk about it casually, and I will take care of your kindness and give them some face."

Cynthia smiled and said, "You misunderstood. I don't mind you beating them. Seyah said you have a lot of skills and I'm just about to see it."

Xie Kai smiled slightly: "Don't worry, you will definitely not be disappointed."

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

In the far right room of the club, Xie Kai met the three giants in Oakwood Town, town mayor Bobby, judge Charlie, local prosecutor Roger, and the club owner Mr. Donnie, who was in charge of dealing cards. There is no doubt that this was a small and friendly gathering of the powerful people in the town. If it weren't for Cynthia, he would not have had the opportunity to participate.

After a greeting, Xie Kai sat at the card table and Cynthia sat next to him.

The mayor said: "Okay, Chinese friends, welcome you to our card game. Can you start?"

Xie Kai looked at the bargaining chips on the table and asked, "Yes, but can I ask first, what is the threshold?"

Several people looked at each other and the mayor smiled and said, "Two thousand dollars, you won't have brought so much money, right?"

Cynthia immediately said, "Hey, Poppy, you have never played such a big game, shouldn't you do this?" Two thousand is basically the maximum amount of cash carried by normal people, and the Sima Zhao's heart of several guys is obvious.

The mayor said with a scoundrel, "Cynthia, your boyfriend is a big man at first glance. He will be unhappy if he plays too little." Then he asked Xie Kai: "Yes, my friend?"

Cynthia wanted to say something, Xie Kai stopped her and said, "It doesn't matter, this amount is just right, I can't take it out if it's too much." He happily took out two thousand dollars.

Cynthia looked at him worriedly and whispered: "Are you sure you want to continue playing?" Although the two thousand dollars are not much, it is also a lot of money in this small town with low consumption standards.

Xie Kai winked and said, "Why not? Don't you want to see my skills?"

Cynthia had no choice but to squeeze out a smile and stop talking.

The mayor was happy and said restlessly: "Okay, Donnie, go and help our Chinese friends exchange chips, and bring all our chips by the way."

Donnie went with the money and soon came back with a lot of chips and distributed them to everyone.

The mayor got the chips and couldn't wait to say, "Gentlemen, we're going to start."

Xie Kai suddenly said, "Wait! I happened to win Mr. Todd's twenty-five dollars in the restaurant, but he was betrayed the debt, so I must first ask, if I win, will everyone here do the same?"

The mayor said with a sigh: "Of course not. Todd is a mess. He is full of gentlemen. How could he do such despicable things?"

Prosecutor Roger smiled and said, "Are you questioning the fairness of me and the judge?"

Xie Kai also smiled and said, "You should be the opponents, but you sit together to play cards. Shouldn't I question it?"

The mayor laughed: "Look at what a smart guy our Chinese friend is." He also pointed to Cynthia: "Hey, Cynthia, you found an interesting boyfriend, I like him."

Cynthia smiled beautifully, not saying anything.

The mayor said again: "Chinese, I swear in the name of my mother's family that that kind of thing will never happen. Can it start now?"

Xie Kai pointed at the card and said, "It's OK, but... you have been playing this card for a while. Out of basic fairness and respect for new card friends, should you change it?"

The few people laughed together, and even Cynthia looked Xie Kai with a nearly maternal look.

The mayor shook his head and said, "You are such a troublesome person." Then he clapped his hands: "Well, gentlemen, in order to reassure our new friends, we will exchange new cards."

Donny took the cards away and threw them aside, took out a new card, and the game finally began.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

All three guys regarded Xie Kai as a sucker. In this case, it was obviously irrational to eat it in one fell swoop. Xie Kai decided to deal with the judge and the prosecutor first, so that the arrogant mayor would win with him to break their psychological alliance.

No one can remain calm in front of money, at least the United States judges and prosecutors in the country cannot.

Sure enough, after a few moves, the judge and the prosecutor watched the mayor's chips increase repeatedly, but they gradually decreased, and they could not sit still. However, the mayor did not care about the feelings of the alliance at all, and smoked cigars from time to time, burst into deafening laughter.

The judge and the prosecutor became increasingly unhappy. Finally, they gave up the idea of ​​catching the big head and began to win money, trying to get the money back.

If you are in such a restless mood, you will naturally not be able to win money, and you will only lose faster and faster. The mayor took the opportunity without hesitation, won a big shot, and directly drove the inspector off the card table.

Xie Kai achieved his goal and won two consecutive games, and drove the judge under the table.

Cynthia sat beside Xie Kai with a birdie. Seeing that Xie Kai lost two games at the beginning, he still won. Now he drove the judge off the card table and said happily: "You are so good, I have never beaten them!"

Xie Kai chuckled and said, "That's all right? There is also the mayor of the town, so don't you want me to continue winning?"
