#351 - No ifs
“Do you believe it?”
When Chu Xianping calmly asked this question, not only Du Chang was stunned, but even Wei Changtian was taken aback for a moment.
Yan Luowill definitely appear within three days?
How did Chu Xianping make such a judgment?
What was the basis?
Wei Changtian undoubtedly possessed the most information about Yan Luo among everyone present, and even he couldn't figure out Chu Xianping's thoughts, let alone Du Chang.
“Brother Xianping, are you joking?”
Squinting his eyes, Du Chang's tone was full of doubt: “I have been in charge of investigating Yan Luo, could it be that you have also intervened?”
“You are overthinking it.”
Facing Du Chang's “petty-mindedness,” Chu Xianping simply shook his head: “Du Chang, I don't know any more than you, this is just my guess.”
“What do you say? Do you dare to bet?”
“A guess?”
Clearly, Du Chang didn't believe such a perfunctory answer.
Looking at Chu Xianping's expressionless face, he took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: “What do you want to bet?”
“This,”
Chu Xianping reached into his robe and took out a small jade bottle, answering with a smile: “If I win, then I would like Brother Du Chang to willingly take this pill.”
“Pa da~”
Look! Look!
This is a good strategist who shares my worries!
The moment he saw the Puppet Pill, Wei Changtian gave Chu Xianping a big thumbs-up in his heart.
As for Du Chang...
He certainly didn't know what the pill was, but he didn't ask. He just stared at Chu Xianping and asked, word by word:
“If Yan Luo doesn't appear within three days, then what?”
“If that's really the case...”
Chu Xianping seemed to have already thought of the conditions: “Brother Du Chang, I am currently helping the Young Master manage two gangs and am also the nominal leader of these two gangs.”
“If Yan Luo doesn't appear within three days, and the Young Master agrees...”
“I will voluntarily resign and let Brother Du Chang take my place as the leader.”
“...”
The two gangs that Chu Xianping mentioned were undoubtedly the Tongzhou Society and the Gongji Society.
Although Wei Changtian hadn't told Du Chang about these matters, he hadn't deliberately concealed them either.
So, the latter had actually guessed a rough idea from everyone's daily interactions, knowing that these two gangs were very powerful and were also Wei Changtian's most loyal violent organizations.
Therefore, if Chu Xianping really wanted to give up his position, he would of course need to obtain Wei Changtian's consent.
“Shua!”
In the next moment, several gazes instantly focused on Wei Changtian.
But the latter only glanced at Chu Xianping and quickly nodded lightly.
“Okay, I have no objections.”
“Thank you, Young Master.”
Chu Xianping got up and cupped his fist at Wei Changtian, then turned around again and looked down at Du Chang, who was still kneeling on the ground.
“Brother Du Chang, I wonder if you are satisfied with this condition?”
“...”
The firelight was weak, lengthening Chu Xianping's shadow and completely enveloping Du Chang.
The latter's face was a little flushed, and his pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.
Until three breaths later—
“Okay! It's a deal!”
“Mm.”
Chu Xianping smiled.
“It's a deal.”
Half an hour later.
Qin Zhengqiu, Old Zhang Tou, and others had already left, and Du Chang had also returned to the Night Watchman's office to continue directing the surveillance of the Zuichun Pavilion.
At this time, only Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping were left in the secret room, and Wei Changtian finally had the opportunity to ask the question that he had been holding back for a long time.
“Brother Chu, how did you know that Yan Luo would definitely appear within three days?”
“Hmm?”
Chu Xianping took a sip of cold tea and smiled: “Young Master, I have already said it just now, this is my guess.”
“Really a guess?”
Wei Changtian was stunned: “Then you still dare to bet with Du Chang?”
“Why wouldn't I dare?”
Chu Xianping didn't answer directly, but shook his sleeves and said slowly:
“Young Master, actually, Du Chang said one thing correctly.”
“No matter how well you plan, you can never be 100% sure of anything.”
“Even if something has an 80-90% chance of success, it can still fail; even if something has an 80-90% chance of failure, it can still succeed.”
“So-called strategy is just to increase the probability of success as much as possible.”
“For Du Chang, perhaps he is willing to try with only a 30% chance.”
“But for me, if I have an 80% certainty, then I can also bet.”
“That's all.”
“...”
80%.
After listening to Chu Xianping's explanation, Wei Changtian immediately grasped the key point.
“How did you calculate this 80%?”
“This...”
Chu Xianping was about to answer, but he suddenly paused and asked with a smile: “Young Master, how about we also make a bet? Let's bet on whether Yan Luo will appear within three days.”
“Uh...”
Wei Changtian was stunned, thinking to himself that he wouldn't bet with him.
But he was also a little curious about what Chu Xianping wanted to bet, so after thinking for a moment, he asked back: “How do you want to bet?”
“Very simple...”
Chu Xianping said “simple” on his lips, but his tone was somewhat hesitant.
“Young Master, if I win, then, then when we return to Shu Prefecture, I want to take one more person with me.”
“Take one more person back?”
Wei Changtian was confused: “Who?”
Chu Xianping answered in a low voice, a little embarrassed: “It's that woman at the Zuichun Pavilion tonight...”
“...”
“Huh????”
Wei Changtian's eyes suddenly widened, thinking that he had misheard.
Could it be that the King of Simps has fallen in love again?
“Are you talking about... the one who was crying in your arms?”
“Yes.”
“You wouldn't have already redeemed her, would you?”
“Yes.”
“If there are no surprises... you haven't touched her yet, have you?”
“Yes.”
“Did you also leave her some silver before you left?”
“Yes.”
“...”
Good heavens!
With this kind of simping behavior, there's no running away! He's definitely fallen in love again!
Wei Changtian looked at the extremely embarrassed Chu Xianping, feeling amused in his heart, but also a little happy.
Of course, he wouldn't stop Chu Xianping from pursuing love between men and women, and he even originally planned to find him a good wife after Chu Xianping came out of the Yin Xiao'e incident.
But now it seems that he doesn't need to.
“Cough, Brother Chu, this kind of trivial matter is naturally no problem.”
“As long as you are willing, don't say just one, even if you take all the girls from the entire Zuichun Pavilion back, I have no objections.”
“But what if you lose the bet?”
Wei Changtian asked with a smile: “You can give the position of leader to Du Chang, so what can you give me?”
“Young Master...”
His expression slowly returning to normal from restraint, Chu Xianping looked at Wei Changtian and answered very seriously.
“I won't lose.”
“Uh... I'm saying, what if.”
“There is no what if.”
“...”
Damn it!
What happened to “you can never be 100% sure of anything”?
What happened to “if I have an 80% certainty, then I can also bet”?
Are you pretending to be so forceful?
Hurry up and confess honestly! Are you also like Xiao Feng, actually a protagonist in an online novel???
Oh right, you should have been hanging out with Xiao Feng in the first place.
That's okay then.
Suddenly thinking of Old Zhang Tou, who “cut Yan Luo with one sword,” Qin Zhengqiu, the “number one on the Black List,” Liang Zhen, who “would rather die than submit under Yuanzhou City,”
Now adding a “there is no what if” Chu Xianping.
Hiss, how does it feel...
Although I am a transmigrator with a system, when it comes to pretending to be forceful, no one can compare????
