Chapter 231: The Best Braised Taste!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
E.P. finally found some fun. He was about to say something when he met Yi Chengxuan’s gaze and silently swallowed his words. He changed them and said, “Since you didn’t arrange for anyone to set me up, what did you learn from me just now?”
Yue Xin did not answer immediately. If she answered now, the initiative would be in E.P.’s hands. If she did not answer, the initiative would be in her hands. “You just said that if you lose, you have to agree to one condition of mine.”
E.P. was a little frustrated that he didn’t get the truth he wanted to know. He scratched his head and replied, “What do you want? You’d better figure it out before telling me. If I can’t do it, I won’t give you a second chance.”
Yue Xin didn’t hesitate, as if she had long guessed it. “I want you to teach me what the human heart is.”
E.P. had been in this prison for many years. He had gone from a nameless newcomer to the position of the person in charge of Building No. 8. He had also safely retired at the peak of his career and become the small leader of Building No. 8. It was impossible to say that he was not scheming. However, everyone who knew E.P. thought that he was just a silly big man with good gambling skills. Moreover, he was crazy for No.12. It was very ridiculous.
E.P.’s weakness was too obvious. This instinctively lowered others’ vigilance against him, making it impossible for them to notice what the person in front of them was like. However, Yue Xin discovered it.
From the first time E.P. had appeared in front of her, she had realized that E.P.
was actually not used to physical contact. When his subordinates approached him, he instinctively avoided contact. When he encountered No. 12, it seemed like an intimate action, but it was actually all E.P.’s deliberate instinct to control himself from trying to escape.
Ordinary people wouldn’t notice this abnormality, but Yue Xin, who had already memorized every habit of No. 12, couldn’t disregard it. Ever since E.P. and No.12 interacted, Yue Xin had been vigilant against E.P. and remembered all his habits and movements. In the end, Yue Xin discovered the strength of this person. His words could bewitch people, and his actions could make people let down their guard. If she could learn this, could she find the truth about Maya’s death from the information center? Or could she give up the truth and approach everyone with the most harmless attitude and send them to hell?
When E.P. heard Yue Xin’s words, the shock in his eyes only flashed for a moment before returning to normal. He instinctively wanted to retreat and put his hands on the back of the chair to act like a big shot, but he suddenly remembered that the chair had been changed, so he could only give up. He coughed lightly and said to Yue Xin, “That’s easy. I know the human heart the best. One is at the left atrium, and the other is at the right atrium. The blood coming out is red, and the braised food is the best!”
Yue Xin said, “You know that’s not what I mean.”
After being interrupted, E.P. stopped pretending to be stupid and asked, “Your condition is similar to asking me to take you in as my disciple. I don’t teach people casually unless they’re especially interested. Tell me how you beat me just now before I make a decision.”
Yue Xin repeated, “It’s what you taught me.”
E.P. demanded, “So what the fuck did I teach you!”
Yue Xin explained, “Your way of holding cards is very strange. It’s different from the way Yi Chengxuan and No.12 hold cards. I tried to learn it and realized that I could hide a card in the cards.”
“Then I realized that every time you asked Yi Chengxuan to draw a card, you had to change the posture of holding the card. I learned it again and realized that this could control the card being drawn. No matter which card the person who drew the card wanted to draw, you could immediately change it silently.”
E.P. interjected in surprise, “Wait a minute. You learned it just by looking?”
Yi Chengxuan explained, “Her observation and imitation skills have always been good.” To put it bluntly, in terms of rote memorization, no one in the prison is better than Yue Xin.
E.P. was still a little unconvinced. “Even if you’ve learned to control cards, how do you know which one to control if you don’t know the cards in someone else’s hand?”
Yue Xin said softly, “I can calculate it.”
Maya used to play numbers with her, too. She’d learned a thing or two when she’d played more.
E.P. thought for a moment and felt that he was indeed interested in Yue Xin, so he immediately agreed to her conditions and swaggered off to eat.
“Alright! That’s it! From today onwards, I’ll take you in as my disciple. Disciple,
I’ll see you at two in the afternoon!” In fact, E.P. still wanted to know about Denise. That woman was originally arranged by Yi Chengxuan to help him cheat, but Yi Chengxuan seemed to be on Yue Xin’s side. How difficult! However, this kind of cheating was the most interesting. If not for Yi Chengxuan’s gossip, he would definitely eat to his heart’s content. Tsk, so annoying! He wanted to gossip but didn’t dare to..
