Card Room Book 2

CR: Chapter 304 - Death Zone

After finishing the poker game, Shao Qingge and Yu Hanjiang shook hands with the bigshots at the table and said goodbye.

Li Mo took the initiative to say, "I'm tired after playing for four hours. Why don't I invite you all to have a late night meal?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded. "Thank you, Chief Li."

As people who 'came to learn poker', Xiao Lou and the others didn't follow. Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge attended the late night meal together.

At the meal, Shao Qingge chatted with Li Mo, Uncle Chen and the others about business matters. He was an investor himself. After coming to this world, he had been paying attention to the stock market and they had many common topics to talk about. He also specifically mentioned that he was a 'foreigner' and he hoped they would all take care of him.

Yu Hanjiang didn't speak much. He sat there and listened carefully.

In the middle of the meal, Li Mo suddenly answered the phone. The moment he saw the caller ID, his eyes became extremely gentle and he deliberately lowered his voice as he answered the phone. "I'm entertaining outside and I'll come home soon. Go to sleep first and don't wait for me."

Uncle Chen laughed beside him. "Chief Li, is it your wife checking on you again?"

Li Mo was helpless. "If I don't go home by midnight then Xiaomeng always calls to check. She is afraid I will have an accident."

Uncle Chen sighed. "This husband and wife love is really enviable."

Li Mo's wife was Shu Xiaomeng, the girl who was hospitalized in the 4 of Hearts case. She didn't participate in the train trip but she had five best friends named 'X Xiao X.'

It seemed that Li Mo's experience was all true. After that case, he married Shu Xiaomeng. It was many years in the past when Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou entered 4 of Hearts. In that secret room, Li Mo was still a young man in his 20s.

All the secret rooms in the Card World might be memories of the past. In this world, time can be freely controlled by the keepers and this further confirmed Xiao Lou's original speculation. If everyone returned to reality, it was very likely that they would go back to the past to avoid accidents and get a new opportunity to start life over.

Due to Li Mo's wife, the meal ended on time at 12:30 that night. After leaving the restaurant, Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge took a taxi back to the villa. Xiao Lou and their teammates had been waiting for them there.

Seeing the two people return, Xiao Lou took the initiative to bring a glass of warm water to Yu Hanjiang. He asked, "Have you heard anything?"

Yu Hanjiang took a sip from the glass of water and spoke in a low voice. "The Hunter's League is huge and there will definitely be strong financial support behind it, otherwise there wouldn't be so many bounties. Chief Shao just chatted with them for a while and even deliberately mentioned that he is a foreigner. I observed from the side and found nothing wrong with their expressions."

The two of them went to the meal to test if these wealthy people were related to the Hunter's League.

The number of foreigners (challengers) in the City of the Moon was extremely large. Most of the residents could live with them peacefully. Only the Hunter's League was full of hostility to foreigners and even killed them quickly. Every time they killed a foreigner, they could get a high bounty. There was definitely a wealthy benefactor behind such an organization.

Shao Qingge sprawled out on the sofa, settling in a comfortable posture as he smiled. "These people in the business are quite good at pretending, but I have an intuition that among the six people today, there must be some of the top level people of the Hunter's League."
