Chapter 127 Betting on Life

"Brother Xu, what brings you here? Are you here to attend my wedding?"

Ma Zhui laughed heartily.

"Boss Ma, please give me some face and let this girl go, how about that?"

Wencai spoke straight to the point.

"No, I can give you face in other matters, but this girl was promised to me by her father. It's my parents' order and the matchmaker's words. If Brother Xu wants to take her away, you have to make a way out of it."

When Ma Zhui said this, the gunman upstairs lowered his gun and pointed it at Wencai and his companions again.

This time Ma Zhui did not scold the gunman again.

People in the underworld like to reason, and it is natural for a father to marry his daughter.

Wencai was speechless and was just thinking about how to snatch Ruping away and take Aunt Xue and Mengping away.

There were more than a dozen gunmen upstairs, but they were too scattered and far away to use poison.

If you use a Thompson rifle against another gun, it is not easy to kill the scattered gunmen in an instant.

Moreover, Wencai's intuition told him that there were two or three snipers hiding in an invisible place in the building.

Hijack Ma Zhui with one strike.

No, Ma Zhui is not Mr. Yi, his kung fu is better than Akutagawa Ryuichi.

If the two of them duel, Wencai will definitely kill Ma Zhui, but he does not have the confidence that he can kill without getting hurt when there are more than a dozen people holding submachine guns and snipers.

The most difficult ones are Ruping, Xueyi and Mengping.

After analyzing the situation, Wencai felt that he had been careless.

He shouldn't have brought Aunt Xue and Meng Ping here. He should have come in stealthily and killed Ma Zhui.

Seeing Wencai was silent, Aunt Xue suddenly spoke up: "I am Ruping's mother, and I have betrothed my daughter to Mr. Xu. Boss Ma, you said that parents have to decide, so I, as a mother, have the right to do so!"

Wei Guangxiong said like a pug: "I am her father, the head of the family, and a father is more important than a mother."

"Ru Ping is not your daughter. I gave birth to her for someone else."

"You stinky watch..."

This pair of dogs actually brought up old grudges and started fighting in broad daylight.

"Shut up, I don't want to hear your embarrassing stories. Brother Xu, you saved my life, and I have already repaid you. I have my father's order, and you have your mother's order. We each have half of this girl. How about we brothers get married together today?"

Ma Zhui also didn't want to offend Wencai, after all, he had Long Si behind him.

Besides, he was also afraid of Wencai, as he didn't know what kind of evil magic this man had.

Ma Zhui was confident that a dozen submachine guns could kill him, but he was afraid that he would fight desperately before dying.

But she couldn't let Wencai take her away.

A group of brothers were watching, and today someone asked you for a wife, and you gave it to him.

Tomorrow someone will dare to take your gun and your life.

When Ruping heard this, her face changed drastically and she almost couldn't believe her ears.

It would be better for me to die than for two men to sleep with me together.

"Good idea, but I don't have such a hobby. It's not easy for us to split the girl in half. Boss Ma, we are all from the Qianmen Sect. Let's make a bet according to the rules of the underworld. If you win, I leave, and if I win, I take the girl away. What do you think?"

When Wencai wanted to gamble, the smile on Ma Zhui's face disappeared.

He had no confidence at all when betting with Wencai.

But the situation forced me to do so and it would be too embarrassing not to gamble.

"Okay, but this is my territory. I'm the banker, and I have the final say on what to bet on."

"As you wish."

"Dice, mahjong and card game are too boring. When I was a bandit, I liked to play the Bear Country's death roulette. This bet is to put a bullet in a revolver and take turns shooting yourself or your men in the temple. Of course, you can also admit defeat."

"Okay, this way of playing is direct and straightforward, I like it!"

What is the Russian roulette that often appears in movies?

However, Ma Zhui played a trick and said that he could use his own men instead.

Wencai has no subordinates, so he has to fight on his own, and his chances of losing are higher.

In order to prevent Wencai from cheating by using healing techniques, Ma Zhui placed special emphasis on hitting the temples.

If a bullet hits the head, even healing magic can't save it.

However, Ma Zhui also left Wencai a way out, which was to surrender and admit defeat.

After all, he couldn't really take Wencai's life for the sake of face and women, otherwise Long Si would definitely turn against him.

"Luo Zhui, bring the gun."

Following Ma Zhui's shout, a short man came forward holding a large-caliber revolver.

The caliber of this revolver is extremely large, and it is not the small-caliber Type 38 that often appears in Hong Kong films in later generations.

In short, this is a powerful gun that can blow someone’s head off with one shot and make the tofu pudding spill all over the floor.

Ma Zhui familiarly removed all six brass bullets from the revolver, inserted only one bullet, then gave the cylinder a strong turn and immediately closed the gun.

"I am Zhuang, I have the first move, Luo will chase you."

Ma Zhui stretched out his revolver, Luo Zhui took the gun, pointed it at his own temple and shouted, "Master Ma, take care of my mother."

"Don't worry, I'll give you 100 yuan a month, you can go with peace of mind."

When Luo Zhui heard Ma Zhui's promise, he pulled the trigger with gritted teeth.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound of a spring being struck, and Aunt Xue, Ruping and Mengping were almost frightened to death. Even Wei Guangxiong turned pale with fright.

The ruthless guys in the underworld fight to the death, but this little gangster like him has never seen that before.

In Wei Guangxiong's eyes, stabbing someone in the thigh with a knife was considered an extremely cruel person.

This kind of desperate criminal not only doesn't take other people's lives seriously, but he doesn't even take his own life seriously. He really shoots when he says he will.

It was Wencai's turn. Wencai took the gun with a smile, put it to his temple and started shooting.

At this time, Ma Zhui kindly reminded: "Brother Xu didn't bring any men with him, so the two women who came with you are also considered men."

As he spoke, he swept his cold eyes over Aunt Xue and Meng Ping, frightening the two women so much that their legs went weak.

Ma Zhui just wanted to win but didn't want Wencai to die.

Ruping, who was kneeling on the ground, crawled on her knees and crawled under Wencai's feet, shouting, "Hit me!"

Ma Zhui grabbed Ruping's long straight black hair, pushed her to the ground and shouted, "You are a prize, what qualifications do you have to die for me? Just kneel down."

Meng Ping seemed to have made up her mind. She came to Wen Cai, closed her eyes and said, "Mr. Xu, thank you. I asked you to save my sister and mother. Please use my life in exchange!"

Wencai looked at Mengping who closed her eyes and waited for death, patted her head and said, "It's okay, I'm not used to women shooting."

After saying that, he put the gun to his temple and fired without hesitation.

The crisp sound of the spring seemed to hit Ruping and Mengping's heartstrings.

Thank God, it didn’t go off!

Now it was Ma Zhui's turn. Luo Zhui was about to step forward to take the gun, but he saw Wencai fired another shot at him, but it still didn't go off!

"Boss Ma, I don't recommend it! I like excitement."

As he said this, he fired another shot.

Three consecutive shots startled Ma Zhui.

This is really playing with your life. You are not afraid of death!

After firing three shots, Wencai still had no intention of handing over the gun and even shot himself.

Ma Zhui hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, Brother Xu, you have guts, you win, you can take the woman away, and we will still be good brothers from now on!"

After winning, Ma Zhui admitted defeat.

People in the underworld can lose, but they must lose with dignity.

Wencai is so cruel, and if Ma Zhui admits defeat, it will only make everyone think that he is loyal and righteous. Xicai doesn't want to see the hero die.

But Wencai's next sentence made him angry again.

"Boss Ma, we still have two bullets and half of our luck. Let's lose again. If I win, I can take the man away, and I want Wei Guangxiong's money too. If I lose, I'll give you 500,000."

As he spoke, Wencai produced two large boxes of money, a pile of gold coins, and gold jewelry, as if performing magic. The total value was definitely over half a million.

When Ma Zhui saw the money, his eyes lit up and he said, "Okay! I'll bet on your luck!"

The money is not your own, you are using someone else's 270,000 to gamble 500,000.

You can get something for nothing. If you don't dare to gamble, are you still a gambler?
