Gu Jinglian thought for a moment and shouted back, “Stand.”
He didn’t have to take any more chances. Qingjiu was clearly giving in to him. The card in his hand was an 8 of Clubs. If the hidden card was a T or an A card, he would have lost.
He accepted the loss of a finger. Even if he had to trade five of his fingers for Qingjiu’s life, it would be worth it, and he was willing.
“Turn the cards!”
Qingjiu and Gu Jinglian flipped over their hidden cards at the same time. Gu Jinglian immediately glanced at the other man’s card and was shocked to discover that it was a 6 of Clubs.
Qingjiu had lost. The light in Gu Jinglian’s eyes flashed briefly.
From the television screen, Black Panther’s cold voice rang out. “Qingjiu, are you deliberately letting him win? You don’t seem to know what it’s like to have an electric drill driven into your temple. Perfect. I’ll let you have a taste of what it means to be in so much pain that you wish you were dead!”
Tzeeee… Tzeee…
The electric drill began to spin violently!
Qingjiu shut his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth, his hand gripping the edge of the table. The moment the electric drill bit into his flesh and pierced his temple, the indescribable pain made him roar!
“Stop!” Gu Jinglian could stand it no longer. He punched the table hard and the electric drill stopped.
Black Panther shook his head regretfully. “What a master-servant bond! It’s so touching, so touching…”
With the electric drill dug into his temple, Qingjiu couldn’t move.
In fact, the electric drill had only pierced less than half an inch into his flesh. However, even so, such pain was something that no one could imagine!
Gu Jinglian asked nervously, “Qingjiu, how are you feeling?”
“I’m fine…” Qing Jiu could not move his head and could only reply as such. However, every word took extreme effort to say. Each word he spoke affected his nerves, and that in turn affected his temple. He was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely.
In the other room, Chu He leaned back quietly in her chair. She forced herself to calm down quickly. Her body was immobilized and she could barely move. However, with her hands behind her back, her fingers were nimble and mobile.
She examined her own situation briefly.
Prior to Gu Jinglian’s arrival, Black Panther’s full attention had been on her. She didn’t dare to act rashly. After all, she wasn’t alone. She had two little ones in her belly. Without full confidence, she didn’t want to take any chances.
When Gu Jinglian arrived as promised and entered the dark room that Black Panther had prepared in advance, the crook started to pay attention to the surveillance screens and now hardly had time to return his attention to her.
It was her chance.
Her hands were clasped behind her back. She couldn’t move, of course, but, to her relief, there was a cuff pin in the opening of her sleeve. The front was for the cuff, and the back was like a pin. She acted calm, but secretly she was making an effort to remove the pin.
She had to be careful. If the cuff pin fell to the ground, not only would she lose her chance to escape, but she might attract Black Panther’s attention.
Chu He gritted her teeth and straightened the pin she had removed. As she could not see it, she inevitably mishandled it at some points and pricked her own hand. However, this bit of pain was nothing to her!
She had to escape quickly. She couldn’t watch them play such a cruel game.
On the other side, Gu Jinglian and Qingjiu had already started their second round.
