Xiaolu unfolded his veil and revealed his face, saying, “I have no other way. The dress was prepared by h.e.l.l. They prepared everyone with just one set of clothes, so I have no choice. But it's fine and I can hide my ident.i.ty. Now, I am a well-known superstar, so many people will recognize me.”

Long Xi asked, “Is the woman in a red sari Bai Bing? Why are you here?”

He worriedly said, “Five days ago, I received a strange WeChat message sent from Jiang Ba's account. He said that my mom was in his hands and asked me to come back home to the country. I followed his hint to this h.e.l.l timely, so I can have a chance to save my mom. I couldn't get in touch with my mom recently. Then, I called Butler Qin, but he said that my mom did not come back home since that night. I contacted my mom's a.s.sistant, but she said that my mom was not in Fan Qianqian's studio or filming. She also lost contact with my mom. I dare not call the police because Jiang Ba said in the message that my mom would die if I call the police.”

Long Xi said, “So you asked me if I had received any strange message? Why not tell me the truth? Afraid that I will be worried? Brother Lu, you are my best friend, so how can I leave you alone? By the way, wasn't Jiang Ba persecuted to death? Is there someone who has stolen his account to trick all of us? Brother Kun was also captured by them!”

She roughly described what happened recently.

Xiaolu said, “Could it be Chen Jian? He steps up his efforts to capture so many people. Does he just want to see us play this game of saving people? It can't be that simple!”

Long Xi said, “Anyway, we can't leave our beloved people alone! Is the woman in the red sari Bai Bing?”

Xiaolu said, “Yes, she also received a message and came back with me by plane. Her mom was captured. Strictly speaking, it's her stepmother. Her biological mother died from dystocia.”

“Stepmother? I have not expected that she would be the most affectionate one, even though she looks indifferent. She even treats her stepmother so well! Let's cooperate, us four. Get enough chips to save our beloved people,” Long Xi said.

Xiaolu shook his head and said, “That Yan w.a.n.gchuan dares to use such an indiscriminate way to force you, so I will not cooperate with him! As for Bai Bing, I know her character deeply. She will not cooperate with anyone! I feel that her mind is like an isolated island and doesn't trust anyone! She is like an iceberg. Even I, like a small sun, always practice or have meals with her in the same company, but can't melt her mind! Every time I make a joke with her, she does not smile! I asked her the reason why, but she said her mom did not allow her to smile! As for the details, she is not willing to tell me. We will be unstoppable if cooperating with each other! The other two are just peripheral aids!”

Long Xi thought for a moment then said, “Yes, this is the urgent moment. You're the only one I can trust! You should not trust anyone else easily!”

Xiaolu pulled up the veil and said, “Don't waste time here, go back to earn more chips! This dress can conceal my ident.i.ty, so don't reveal my ident.i.ty in front of others, including Yan w.a.n.gchuan!”

Long Xi nodded and they high-fived.

Next, the two walked back to the entertainment hall one after the other.

When Long Xi pa.s.sed by the chess table, she saw Yan w.a.n.gchuan was still playing chess with Yamamoto Shang. She could not help stopping to watch for a while.

She knew a little about chess. She was not good at it, but she could understand the players' ways of playing.

However, because of the time limit, she left after two minutes.

Yamamoto Shang was good at chess and arranged a rigorous layout. The arrangement in the middle area was like Guang Yunchang's Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which was aggressive in every direction. It could match 10,000 warriors.

His skills in chess were fabulous. Each piece he laid out was cunning and taking the advantage. Every step was smart.

The accuracy of his scheming and his long-term arrangement could be found after 10 more steps normally. He was excellent at this.

Yan w.a.n.gchuan's way to play chess was light and elegant. The methods he used were changeable and unpredictable.

Sometimes, it seemed to be plain and un.o.btrusive, but hid some deep meanings that the opponent could not detect.

If the opponent used a strong way, he could change at any time and win with surprising methods, forcing the opponent to be outs.h.i.+ned and confused.

Sometimes, his chess piece would sneak into the opponent's field to take a risk and was surrounded by the opponent. It seemed that it would be difficult for him to win, but he could use an intelligent way to escape from death. It was changeable and he could survive from appearing to dead.

Sometimes, he paid attention to practice to fight for each area and to arrange for every step, not willing to give up a single piece. Sometimes, he would like to give up a patch of “territory” and open up a new territory.

In fact, the two were initially agile, one after the other. They did not have to think too much and were evenly matched.

Five minutes later, Yamamoto Shang got gradually slower and slower, but Yan w.a.n.gchuan forced him heavily.

In the end, Yamamoto Shang was worried and took the wrong step by accident. Yan w.a.n.gchuan seized this chance to force him more heavily.

Yamamoto Shang calmed down and thought for more than 10 minutes. Then, he played a smart move.

Yan w.a.n.gchuan could not help cheering for him. This move turned out to be an amazing layout, which turned the tables on his disadvantaged situation and succeeding in drawing even with Yan w.a.n.gchuan.

Yan w.a.n.gchuan thought for nearly 10 minutes before he moved a piece. The two then fell into a state of serial robbery.

Under the calculation of the judge, Yan w.a.n.gchuan won this round.

Yamamoto Shang pretended to be polite and open-minded, saying, “As the saying goes, in the Changjiang River, the waves behind drive on those before.”

Yan w.a.n.gchuan did not lose his grace and said with a smile, “Elder is better. I am lucky to win this time.”

Yamamoto Shang said, “I have never lost in 20 years. It's my first time to lose. Mr. Yan, I can use the last white chip as a bet, so will you play another round with me?”

Yan w.a.n.gchuan stood up and made a bow politely like the j.a.panese way, saying with courtesy, “Sorry, one chip is too little for me. It's not worth spending so much time for.”

Yamamoto Shang turned around and said to Weiwei, “You, give me two chips.”

Weiwei changed color and said with hesitation, “But I just have two in my hands. Giving them to you will be giving me punishment.”

Yamamoto Shang pointed at Weiwei and Man Shahua and said, “You two, give me one each. Otherwise, you will know the consequences. You two don't have to save anyone. The last one can prevent you from punishment.”

Weiwei and Man Shahua reluctantly gave him a chip respectively.

Yamamoto Shang asked Yan w.a.n.gchuan to sit down to play a round again.

Yan w.a.n.gchuan agreed with a smile on his face.

He had already found that his skill in chess was much better than Yamamoto Shang's. Last round, in order to attract Yamamoto Shang's addiction in chess and provoke his desire to win, he just showed 70% of his strength, making him take the initiative to ask for another round.

Sure enough, Yamamoto Shang was hooked!

After playing a few games, Long Xi went to a mahjong table and sat down.

Bai Bing came over and sat at her right and cooperated with her.

Bai Bing played the cards that Long Xi needed. Besides, Long Xi had a fast hand and knew how to cheat without a trace. Long Xi had 28 white chips in her hands after four rounds.

Meanwhile, Xiaolu was playing on a dance machine.

His movements were very accurate and followed the rhythm in a good way. It could be said that his movements were perfect and extremely cool.

For him, this kind of dancing game was not difficult, so he got full marks three times in a row. He got 20 chips after subtracting the nine that he had inserted.

At this time, an unexpected person appeared!

A woman dressed in a cherry-colored kimono and pinned with a linen-colored, pear-shaped hairstyle came out from the background to the platform.

Long Xi was shocked! She was Qiuzi, who looked like Cheng Yimei!

She stood on the high platform and looked down upon those people, planning to present a speech. The first pa.s.sage she said was stunning!

Qiuzi was wearing a headset. The voice was not loud but could be heard clearly.

She said, “Welcome everyone. It is 10 o'clock in the evening. After two hours, our boat will put into sh.o.r.e near a deserted island. Everyone will join an unusual game on the island. This game has been popular recently. That is Tear Brand Name.”

People whispered, while Xiaolu said with shock, “Tear Brand Name? Is it the game those superstars are playing? Running Man?”

“Perhaps, but how's the game?” Long Xi asked.

“Who knows, hurry to ask the rules,” Yan w.a.n.gchuan said.

Many people were asking Qiuzi about the rules. Qiuzi said, “When we arrive at the island, I will announce the rules of the game. What I need to remind you of is that you should take the time to earn more chips during the last two hours. You can use your chips to exchange for equipment. On the island, you can fight against each other. We are in the high seas, so life or death will depend on yourself!”

“What? Equipment and force? Because of the high seas, killing people would not be prosecuted by law?”

Everyone gasped for breath and calmed down to continue to fight.

For the last two hours, people were in nervousness and in a panic. Many of them won plenty and prepared well, including Xiaolu. He asked Long Xi to go to a remote corner and gave her a small, delicate silver swing dart in secret.

“Long Xi, this is a good thing that Big Brother Kun invents, a voice-controlled dart. He sent it to me as a gift. No matter who uses it, the hit rate is 100%. Then, it can come back to the launcher. I have one, and I also gave one to Bai Bing,” Xiaolu said.

Long Xi nodded and accepted it unceremoniously. Then, she said, “Well, thank you.”

“You don't have to. We are good friends, aren't we? Besides, Big Brother Kun sent it to me, right?” Xiaolu scratched his head and told her the method to use the voice-activated dart.

Long Xi carefully remembered the method to use it and said, “We should discuss it before taking action if anything is wrong tonight.”
