ATAMMDO 37

Chapter 37- So No One Played After That

 

The two have different temperaments and completely different heights and shapes. However, by just seeing Jiang Liucheng’s outfit, Zhou Beiwang couldn’t help but think of Qin Lu.

 

After Jiang Liucheng got in the car, Zhou Beiwang asked curiously, “Do you want to dress like this when you go out in the future?”

 

Jiang Liucheng said, “My agent said that I am popular now, and it is not good to be recognized by others.”

 

Thinking of his nickname on the Internet, Zhou Beiwang started the car and said with a smile, “You are really popular right now. Recently, even my company’s employees are saying that many people buy the food you endorse.”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “It’s also a little bad.”

 

Zhou Beiwang tilted his head and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “I’m too busy. I originally planned to find you when I returned to Yunshi, but my agent arranged a week’s work for me. It was already arranged in advance, so I can’t do anything about it. I had also agreed with the merchant, so there is no way for me to refuse, nor is there a way to push it back.”

 

Zhou Beiwang’s heart was touched immediately, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily. No one didn’t like the feeling of being valued, “Do you value our relationship very much?”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “Of course, if I don’t get to spend more time with you, how can I determine whether we are suitable or not? If we are not suitable for each other, we will only add to each other’s troubles.”

 

Zhou Beiwang didn’t know what he was thinking and suddenly asked, “What if we are suitable?”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “Of course, it should end as soon as possible. It’ll be good for us that way and won’t hurt the family we were supposed to be making in the future. After all, the two partners ought to spend a lifetime together.”

 

Zhou Beiwang saw the serious expression of the young man through the mirror and suddenly had a feeling that he was going through a major assessment and was very likely to be eliminated. When did he lose confidence in himself? This felt so surreal.

 

After more than half an hour, the sports car drove into the clubhouse’s parking lot. Once they’re in front, a waiter took them inside.

 

This is a high-end clubhouse. It is not as noisy as a general clubhouse since all of the sounds are isolated behind the door.

 

Until the waiter pushed open the door, a heat wave swept in an instant, accompanied by the sound of a lively party.

 

“They are here.”

 

As soon as they entered, they were noticed by a group of people playing games in the corner.

 

“That young man is Zhou Beiwang’s blind date. He looks very good-looking. My mother also bought snacks from the Fatty Foods Company he endorsed. I just said something casually in case it was just a character person, and I ended up suffering. My mother scolded me.”

 

“No, my aunt also believes that the people in the entertainment industry are real.”

 

“She doesn’t believe that the people in the entertainment industry are real but believes that Jiang Liucheng’s nickname is real. It’s not that you don’t know. My mother was just an ordinary person before she married my father. Before that, she often ate snacks that belonged to that company when she was a child.”

 

Dou Binbin shrugged. He was the little fanboy who was very happy after seeing Qin Lu at the racecourse last time.

 

Wang Jingjing, on the side, also said, “Don’t say things you shouldn’t say in front of Beiwang, lest you be like Rong Heng.”

 

Another person immediately said, “Don’t worry, even if we don’t like him, we won’t show it in front of Zhou Beiwang.”

 

But it is not so easy to integrate into their circle.

 

Wang Jingjing said with emotion, “It’s a pity for Rong Heng.”

 

Dou Binbin rolled his eyes when he heard the words, “What a pity? When he made me call my male god a showman and asked me to say if he deserved it.”

 

Wang Jingjing frowned, “Rong Heng is our friend, so it’s not good to have this trouble for an irrelevant person.”

 

Dou Binbin also said politely, “That’s your friend. I don’t have such a friend who slandered my boyfriend. If you think it’s a pity, then go play with him. What are you doing here at the party?”

 

Seeing that he didn’t give herself any face, Wang Jingjing stomped her feet in anger, “Dou Binbin, do you have to raise a bar with me like this?”

 

Dou Binbin looked inexplicable, “I’m not your parents. I don’t need to tolerate you.”

 

Wang Jingjing was instantly furious.

 

The two quarreled so much that they didn’t notice that Zhou Beiwang and Jiang Liucheng had come over. When they saw them, Wang Jingjing had to shut up.

 

“We met again.” Dou Binbin was very happy to see Jiang Liucheng, and held his hand enthusiastically, “Is my male god filming in the crew going well recently?”

 

Jiang Liucheng likes this kind of familiar character because Guo Qifan is also this type of person, and he also thinks that people with this kind of character are sometimes very kind, “It’s going very smoothly.”

 

When Dou Binbin heard this, he looked envious, “I really want to be friends with the male god on WeChat. It’s fine if we don’t chat. I’ll be satisfied if I can just see the moments he posted.”

 

Jiang Liucheng smiled, “Then you won’t be satisfied. He rarely posts on Moments, so adding him there is useless.”

 

Dou Binbin said, “You don’t understand. I was just saying it casually. Even if he doesn’t post on the Moments, but just stays in my address book, it’s enough for me to show off for a lifetime. Speaking of which, I have to thank you.”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “Huh?”

 

Dou Binbin: “Thank you for letting my male god finally remember that he still has a Weibo after two years. That photo of the two of you is so handsome.”

 

His appearance was too narcissistic, and everyone thought it was irritating. If they didn’t stop him, he could continue to praise him, so someone suggested to continue playing the game and invited Jiang Liucheng and Zhou Beiwang to join.

 

They were playing a game just now. It’s called a killing game wherein when it’s night, people have to close their eyes.

 

After adding Jiang Liucheng, there were precisely ten people. Zhou Beiwang did not participate. He presided over the game as a judge.

 

“Have you ever played a killing game before, or do you need me to explain it to you?” Dou Binbin was sitting next to Jiang Liucheng. Because of his relationship with Qin Lu, he wanted to stand by him at all costs.

 

Jiang Liucheng nodded, “I played a few times in college. I remember the rules.”

 

Soon the first round began, and Zhou Beiwang dealt the cards.

 

Jiang Liucheng looked at his card; it was a civilian.

 

After the judge records the identities of everyone, the game officially begins. The opening is black murder night. After the night is over, the judge announces the people killed by the killer during the day.

 

Except for the killer and the judge, what surprised everyone was that the first person to be eliminated was Jiang Liucheng, who had just joined.

 

Dou Binbin called out directly, “Fuck, who is it? He just came in the first round, and he’s already targeted out of the game.”

 

Jiang Liucheng was quite calm, “It’s just a game; it doesn’t matter.”

 

Zhou Beiwang said lightly, “Go ahead.”

 

Jiang Liucheng, who was out, became a bystander. After the first game was over, Dou Binbin looked at Jiang Liucheng’s two killers and wanted to say something. One of them immediately distanced himself and said, “It’s none of my business. It was Chen Yi who took the knife first. If he doesn’t want to change his target, I can’t do anything about it.”

 

Dou Binbin gave Chen Yi a blank look, “I knew it was you.”

 

Chen Yi glared at him once, and he said to Dou Binbin, “I don’t have any bad blood on you. Besides, it’s just a game, so losing is not too bad.”

 

Then he looked at Jiang Liucheng again and said with a sneer, “If you think it’s unfair to you, I won’t let you out in the next game.”

 

Jiang Liucheng shook his head, “No if I am a suspect, I will kill him too.”

 

The people’s expressions at the table became different as his words were relatively level.

 

Although Chen Yi said it was a game, everyone knew he had personal complaints because Rongheng had a good relationship with him.

 

“Okay, let’s continue.”

 

As soon as Zhou Beiwang opened his mouth, everyone became quiet.

 

The game restarted. After the cards were dealt, Jiang Liucheng looked at his cards. This round, he took the killer card.

 

When the judge confirmed his identity, he looked at Dou Binbin beside him. He didn’t expect him to be his accomplice, and Dou Binbin was also surprised.

 

Jiang Liucheng signaled for him to stay calm, Dou Binbin really wanted to communicate with him, but he couldn’t speak, so he could only hold on temporarily.

 

After the judge has confirmed everyone’s identities, it gets dark and they need to choose one to eliminate.

 

Jiang Liucheng did not hesitate to compare the numbers.

 

Dou Binbin saw that he was so decisive, and he wasn’t just like him. He had never won as a killer. He was afraid that he would lead him into the pit, so he simply listened to him.

 

After dawn, everyone saw that Jiang Liucheng was not dead, and they had no doubts. After all, in his first round, he was killed by Chen Yi for no reason, and the next killer would definitely not choose to kill him again. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing when his identity was revealed later. 

 

When the day and night of the game reached the fourth day, Zhou Beiwang announced the target of the knife, “No. 4 is out. The game is over.”

 

“Fuck”

 

“Fuck”

 

Dou Binbin and No. 4 called out at the same time, but they were shocked by the different situations. Dou Binbin didn’t expect that it was only the fourth day and yet, he actually won.

 

No. 4 did not expect that he was actually the one who was killed because he was the last policeman, and his companion died on the second night. Before being killed, he checked Jiang Liucheng, only to find out that he was the killer. He was just waiting to tell everyone in the daytime to throw Jiang Liucheng to death, but he actually died before he could make amends.

 

When the identity was revealed, Chen Yi snorted and said, “I’ve just said he was a killer, and you still didn’t believe me.”

 

Dou Binbin scolded him directly, “Then why didn’t you say that in the last scene before the night came? You still think you’re so smart whenever someone dies. You will point out Jiang Liucheng, but when the others raise their doubts, you’ll just say that you just think it’s him. You have no shame.”

 

Chen Yi’s face suddenly turned blue and white.

 

Zhou Beiwang gave Dou Binbin a well-done look and announced that the game was restarted.

 

This time Jiang Liucheng was a civilian, and the police checked him at night. When voting during the day, Chen Yi voted for him directly but because it was just the first night and the amount of information was limited, everyone didn’t feel anything this time. Anyway, the game was all based on feeling.

 

When it was Jiang Liucheng’s turn, he also voted for Chen Yi, but he gave reasons.

 

“If he is the killer, then he has a high probability of killing me on the first night, but he didn’t. Instead, he voted for me during the day. It seemed like a personal grudge, but it also gave everyone the illusion that he could not be the killer. But most importantly, after he read the cards, he once gave me a smug look as if implying that I was done.”

 

After Jiang Liucheng finished speaking, Dou Binbin, who was next to him, voted for Chen Yi without hesitation because what Jiang Liucheng said made sense.

 

After Jiang Liucheng’s statement, two more people voted for Chen Yi. Chen Yi, who was still full of confidence, was suddenly anxious. He didn’t know how to refute that much, he said. As a result, someone changed his vote and voted for him.

 

When this round was over and the identity of Chen Yi as a killer was announced, everyone looked at Jiang Liucheng.

 

Although Chen Yi was a bit revealing when he defended himself later, if what Jiang Liucheng said did not make sense, everyone would not necessarily vote for Chen Yi.

 

Some of them think that it may be a blind cat and a dead mouse kind of game. However, in the next two rounds, no matter what identity card Jiang Liucheng got, every time he voted, he could almost accurately say the identity of the opponent. Whenever someone was almost thrown out, and yet if there was no problem with the identity of the opponent, he would also say something.

 

In four consecutive games, he could almost guess everyone’s identity in each round. And no matter what his identity was, the game could end within five or six rounds.

 

It was all a coincidence. They couldn’t convince themselves that the only explanation was that he really guessed everyone’s identities.

 

“Holy shit, why are you so powerful and how did you find out?” Dou Binbin was shocked and opened his mouth wide. He had never seen such a person before, it was amazing.

 

Others also want to know, and it is definitely impossible to see everyone’s cards, so everyone is more curious.

 

Jiang Liucheng said, “When I was thrown out in the first round, I observed everyone’s reaction when they played the game and calculated your general character. Like Chen Yi, you can’t hold your breath and are easily influenced by emotions. You also act more impulsive. It’s a good guess. There is also No. 5. No. 5 has a calm personality, but he has habitual action. When he gets an identity card, he will turn the ring on his pinky finger, which means he is thinking about how to control the game. Going in this direction will be much easier. There will always be a little difference between good people and bad people.”

 

Everyone involuntarily looked at No. 5, who was just turning the ring on his little finger. Upon hearing Jiang Liucheng’s words, his movements immediately froze.

 

Dou Binbin was stunned, “You are so powerful, you can guess it at once. If I were your friend, I wouldn’t dare to play this kind of game with you.”

 

Jiang Liucheng nodded and said, “Well, no one will play this game with me since then.”

 

Dou Binbin just said it casually, but he didn’t expect that it would be a hit to him.

 

Others also felt this, and they all gathered around.

 

Zhou Beiwang, who was watching this scene, smiled. He brought the young man here today and found a bright spot in him.

 

Zhou Beiwang took out his mobile phone. He sent a photo to his Moments, and said that he had found a treasure.

 

He is not a person who often posts on Moments, so as soon as the photo was posted, someone left a message immediately, and the one who left the message was No. 5 who was Jiang Liucheng commented on earlier.

 

[A treasure indeed, he reminds me of your first love. Who would have known that someone as smart as he could exist.]

 

Eventually, Qin Lu had also seen this Moments.

 

The young man in the photo was sitting around a table with a group of people. Under the dim light in the private room, the young man’s black eyes seemed to be glowing, exuding a radiant light.

 

In the crowd, he always seemed to be the most dazzling one, always making Qin Lu notice him at first sight.

 

A little smile appeared on Qin Lu’s face, but when he saw the comment below, the smile on his face disappeared.
