    She thought, “How… How could this be!”


    Cheng Yi’s beautiful eyes widened and she almost screamed!


    Even Chen Yu’s face paled in shock and astonishment.


    He thought, “This! How was this possible?”


    He Jing took out the chip inside, nced at it, and handed it to Yan Hanxi.


    She didn’t even spare a nce at the people in the room and was about to leave when Chen Yu came back to his senses and shouted, “Wait!”


    He Jing stopped in her tracks and looked back indifferently.


    Chen Yu tried his best to remain calm and asked in aposed tone, “How did you solve it so quickly?”


    He Jing remained calm. She nced at the neatly sorted poker cards on the ground and said calmly, “I don’t think I have the obligation to tell you.”


    She had already obtained the points and had a rough guess about the Boss behind the scenes. Everything went smoothly.


    Chen Yu persisted as always, and wouldn’t relent. “I want to know where I went wrong.”


    Yan Hanxi fiddled with the chip casually. He smiled and said, “You lost because your partnercks enough intelligence but likes to y tricks.”


    Chen Yu turned his head to look at Cheng Yi, who appeared pitiful and oblivious to any issues. He stared coldly at Yan Hanxi and said, “It’s my fault for losing. Please don’t take the opportunity to humiliate a girl.’ Yan Hanxi chuckled, “She didn’t show any mercy when she humiliated my girl.” He Jing red at Yan Hanxi angrily. She thought, “Who was his girl?”


    “He Jing isn’t good with words, so you can say whatever you want. But since you insist on asking, I’ll make it clear to you.” Yan Hanxi’s faint smile became a little more indifferent. “From the beginning, we didn’t ce the clues on the number of cards because it would be too time-consuming and against the original intention of the secret room to use our brains. Instead, it became more of a physical activity. The knowledge I have about poker is only useful in one aspect, and that is the meaning of the red joker and ck joker.”


    “The red joker and ck joker represent the sun and the moon respectively, which matches the twos in the background story. The background story specifically mentions the roses in General Saul’s hometown were in full bloom, where only daylight exists. On the General Saul surrendered to, there are no nts, only nighttime. Therefore, the clue to this disy case belonging to General Saul’s hometown should be sought on the red joker.”


    “But in fact, even without knowledge of poker, you can decipher this clue.” He Jingyu added calmly, “There are 52 cards in a deck, and the most special ones are the red and ck jokers. To cater to the majority of yers’ experience, the secret room designer wouldn’t make the puzzle too profound. In general, the first digit of the password is given.”


    They thought, “Huh?”


    They had painstakingly arranged the poker cards for so long, seeking the answers they desperately wanted, and in He Jing’s eyes, it was just given?


    The other yers were dumbfounded.


    If it was given, why did they bother organizing the poker cards for so long?


    At this thought, they suddenly remembered that they seemed to have done it involuntarily when Cheng Yi called them. They didn’t even ask for a specific reason.


    Then, they even joined Cheng Yi in criticizing He Jing for not helping. This…


    They thought, “How foolish!”


    The more they thought about it, the more absurd it seemed.


    He Jing already had the correct solution, and knew that organizing ying cards was useless, so why should she waste her time with them in doing useless work?


    If Cheng Yi hadn’t led them astray and used He Jing, He Jing might have reminded them!


    When they thought of this, they suddenly realized what kind of maniptive trap they had fallen into!
