I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

When Liu Dahai heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. "Xiao Chen, what do you mean by that? I've been playing poker for so many years, I've seen all sorts of people and tricks. I've known those guys for years, how could they possibly cheat me?"

"Uncle Liu, think about it, do they usually ask you to play cards?"

"Well..." Liu Dahai hesitated for a moment, "It's true that we don't usually keep in touch, but this time it was Lao Li who took the initiative to contact me, saying that he was short of help."

Chen Fan was even more certain of his judgment. "Then what do you think? Why did they come to you at this very moment? And why did they start with such a big plan?"

Liu Dahai's expression changed, but he still shook his head stubbornly: "Impossible, what haven't I seen at the poker table? It's not that easy for others to cheat me."

"Since you're so sure, why don't we go and take a look?" Chen Fan stood up. "Didn't you say there was a game going on today? Take me to see it for myself."

Liu Dahai hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, then you come with me to take a look, but don't talk nonsense."

The two of them arrived at a bungalow in the village. The room was filled with smoke and four people were sitting around a mahjong table. Seeing Liu Dahai come in, one of the tall and thin men immediately stood up and greeted him, "Brother Hai is here! Hurry up, we've been waiting for you."

Chen Fan carefully observed the expressions of these people and found that there was a hint of subtle excitement in their eyes, as if they saw lambs to be slaughtered.

"Who is this?" Fatty Old Li pointed at Chen Fan and asked.

"My friend, he came to see the fun." Liu Dahai answered casually.

"That's fine, but we have a lot of rules here, and outsiders can't talk casually." said another man wearing glasses.

The card game began. Chen Fan stood behind Liu Dahai. On the surface, he was looking at Liu Dahai's cards, but in fact he was observing the actions of the other three people.

In the first few rounds, Liu Dahai did win some games and had a smug smile on his face. But Chen Fan noticed that the tall and thin man's fingers always moved in an unnatural way when he touched the cards.

"Pong!" Liu Dahai pushed the cards down. "Haha, I win again!"

"Brother Hai is so lucky!" Old Li said with a smile, but a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

As time went on and the game gradually reached its climax, Liu Dahai's luck began to deteriorate. He lost several rounds in a row and the money he lost increased.

Chen Fan observed carefully and finally discovered the problem. When the tall, thin man was drawing cards, he would secretly change the cards from his sleeve while others were not paying attention. His movements were so skillful that if you were not paying close attention, you would not be able to detect it at all.

"Wait!" Chen Fan suddenly spoke.

Everyone stopped and turned to look at him.

"What are you doing?" Liu Dahai said angrily, "Didn't we agree not to talk nonsense?"

"Uncle Liu, please take a closer look at this friend's sleeves." Chen Fan pointed at the tall and thin man and said.

The tall and thin man's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing special. I just feel like there's something in your sleeve." Chen Fan said calmly, "Do you want Uncle Liu to check it out?"

"You!" The tall and thin man wanted to stand up, but was frightened by Chen Fan's eyes.

Liu Dahai also realized something at this time, and walked towards the tall and thin man with a sullen face: "Let me see your sleeves!"

The tall and thin man knew that the matter was exposed, so he stopped trying to hide it and sneered, "Fine, if it's discovered, it's discovered."

As he spoke, he took out a few mahjong tiles from his sleeve and threw them on the table.

Liu Dahai was stunned when he saw this scene, and then he erupted in anger: "You! How dare you lie to me!"

"Haha, Liu Dahai, you've finally met your end!" Old Li tore off his disguise. "To be honest, the three of us teamed up just to defraud you of your money!"

"Why?" Liu Dahai clenched his fists. "I have no grudge against you in the past, and I have no grudge against you in the present!"

"No grudges from the past?" The man with glasses sneered, "What did you say at the dinner table a few days ago? You said you had a treasure at home, a thousand-year-old ginseng, priceless!"

Liu Dahai's face changed drastically: "Your goal is..."

"Yes, it's that ginseng!" Old Li said with a sly grin. "I was originally planning to slowly get your money and have you voluntarily hand over the ginseng to pay off the debt, but I didn't expect this brat to find out."

"Since we've been discovered, let's just come clean!" The tall, thin man pulled out his phone. "I've called someone, they'll be here soon. If you don't hand over the ginseng, you won't be able to leave today!"

Liu Dahai was so angry that he was shaking all over: "You beasts!"

"Uncle Liu, calm down first." Chen Fan patted his shoulder and looked at the three of them. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Kid, if you know what's best for you, stay out of other people's business!" Old Li threatened. "When they show up, you'll be in big trouble!"

Just as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside, and five or six strong men pushed the door open and walked in, led by a bald man.

"Brother Li, are they them?" The bald man glanced at Chen Fan and Liu Dahai.

"Yes, that's them." Old Li pointed at the two of them. "This old man has a treasure at home, and it must be handed over today!"

The bald man flexed his wrists, making a clicking sound. "Then let's talk."

Liu Dahai's face turned pale instantly when he saw the six burly men suddenly rushing in. This formation clearly showed they were well prepared.

"Xiao Chen, I'm sorry. I've implicated you." Liu Dahai's voice trembled slightly.

Chen Fan shook his head gently, his eyes still as calm as water: "Uncle Liu, it's okay."

The bald man sneered and approached: "Old man, we don't want to embarrass you. Hand over the ginseng and we can part ways amicably."

"I don't have any thousand-year-old ginseng at home!" Liu Dahai explained hurriedly.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Old Li said sternly. "You said it yourself, we all heard it!"

"That was just nonsense I said when I was drunk!"

"Nonsense?" The tall and thin man sneered, "Then do you dare to let us search your house?"

Liu Dahai's face became even uglier. It was obvious that he did have that ginseng at home.

"It seems they won't cry until they see the coffin." The bald man waved his hand, "Brothers, let them know what the rules are."

Five strong men approached at the same time, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Chen Fan looked at the surroundings. The room was not big, but it was enough for him.

"Wait." Chen Fan suddenly said, "I want to ask, are you really sure you want to do this?"

"Kid, who do you think you are?" the bald man sneered, "No one in this area dares to confront us head-on!"

"Really?" A smile appeared on Chen Fan's lips. "That might be because they haven't met me yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fan suddenly moved.
