Hua Jianxing chuckled, turned the card over, and said with a smile, "Young Master Gu, I'm Fulhouse, hehe, a little older than you!"
Gu Yuan saw Hua Jianxing's face-up card, which was three Kings. If it were Fulhouse, it would be three Kings with a pair, which is a pretty good hand. In a normal game, it's not easy to get such a hand!
The two men exchanged a smile, and Zeng Guoyu beside them also laughed. All three of them relaxed considerably. Then, they looked at Zhou Xuan together. Hua Jianxing, full of confidence, asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, hehe, can we start playing the cards now!"
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly, opened his palm, and said, "I'll trouble Mr. Gu and Mr. Hua to help me with this hand of cards!"
Zhou Xuan did this intentionally, because he didn't touch the cards at all from beginning to end. From the moment Hua Jianxing dealt the cards until the final reveal, Zhou Xuan didn't touch a single card. He even let Hua Jianxing and Gu Yuan reveal the cards. If they revealed a big hand, or if they cleared their hand, then the deck would be missing four cards, which Zhou Xuan had converted and absorbed. But apart from Wei Haihong, who would know that Zhou Xuan was cheating, Hua Jianxing, Gu Yuan, and Zeng Guoyu would never have guessed it. In their past experience, even the most skilled cheaters needed to touch the cards to cheat. They had never heard of someone being able to cheat by staying half a meter away from the cards and not touching them at all!
Hua Jianxing smiled, thinking that he had won back everything this time. He smiled and reached out to flip over the cards in front of Zhou Xuan. Since three cards were face up, he didn't flip them over, only flipping over the two face down. But when he flipped them over, his hand slipped and he only flipped over the top face down card, which was an eight.
This eight of diamonds plus three face-up cards, the six of diamonds, the seven of diamonds, and the nine of diamonds, together form the six-seven of diamonds. This hand looks very strong, and it could potentially lead to a straight flush, a flush, or a straight, depending on the last card played.
Hua Jianxing couldn't flip over the bottom hidden card right away, but the card that was flipped over surprised all three of them!
Hua Jianxing was stunned for a moment, and his heart trembled slightly!
Will it be a straight flush?
Moreover, Zhou Xuan's only way to beat Fulhouse is to play a straight flush. To play a straight flush, he only needs the five and ten of diamonds. Only by playing these two cards can Zhou Xuan win. So what exactly is his hidden card?

Volume 1, Chapter 276: Fulhouse Encounters a Flush
Although they considered many possible outcomes, Hua Jianxing and the others were unwilling to believe that the last hole card was a five or ten of diamonds. The odds were too slim. Even though they had already drawn six or seven of diamonds, getting a straight flush was extremely difficult. Forget about a straight flush; even getting a flush would be a good result!
However, Gu Yuan's hole cards were a flush of kings, and Zhou Xuan's hole cards could only beat Gu Yuan's flush of kings if he revealed an Ace of diamonds or higher. But then there was Hua Jianxing's Fulhouse, which was a high hand of three kings and a pair of fives. If Zhou Xuan's last hole card was not a five of diamonds or a ten of diamonds, he could not become the final winner. In other words, Zhou Xuan's last hole card had to be a five of diamonds or a ten of diamonds!
Everyone present focused their attention on the last card. Hua Jianxing felt a little tremble. He took a couple of deep breaths and then reached out to reveal the last card!
Everyone could clearly see the card: a ten of diamonds!
Hua Jianxing, Gu Yuan, and Zeng Guoyu turned ashen-faced and stood there dumbfounded!
Wei Haihong chuckled. He was very happy. Ever since he arrived, he had been keeping a close eye on Zhou Xuan, but he hadn't seen Zhou Xuan make any moves. In the simplest terms, Zhou Xuan hadn't cheated at all. If he didn't agree, he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Wei Haihong knew from this that Zhou Xuan must have cheated, because he was also a veteran gambler. In reality, if you rely solely on luck to gamble, the result can only be a loss!
However, he couldn't figure out how Zhou Xuan had done it. But Wei Haihong was very happy. Winning without letting others see through their scheme was exactly what they wanted.
That's how the human heart works; the more you fear something, the more likely you are to get that result. What you fear comes to pass!
The ten of diamonds, the last card in the deck, made Zhou Xuan's hand a straight flush. Even though Hua Jianxing had Fulhouse, he still lost!
Losing this hand wasn't a big deal, but after a while, Hua Jianxing and the other two realized that if they lost this hand, they would have to pay Zhou Xuan about 55 million yuan in cash!
The three men were stunned for a moment, then turned back and thought about it some more. They still couldn't understand it. Even though Zhou Xuan had a straight flush, they still didn't believe it was due to his card skills. They still believed it was just luck. What was frustrating was that if Zhou Xuan had won their bets through superior gambling skills, it would have been fine, because what they wanted was a top-notch player to win back their money from Ma Shu. But although Zhou Xuan had won over 50 million from them, his gambling skills hadn't been displayed at all, so losing this money wasn't worth it!
Zhou Xuan knew his own situation. It was natural that Hua Jianxing and the other two didn't believe him. It would be unnatural if they did. If he hadn't obtained this peculiar ice energy, he would be even worse off than them. He would still be a penniless country bumpkin.
They had lost too much, and Hua Jianxing and the others all believed that Zhou Xuan could not possibly beat Ma Shu, because Ma Shu was a pure gambling master, which was beyond doubt.
Now all the chips on the table were piled up in front of Zhou Xuan, and he hadn't counted them. But they were roughly over fifty million.
Gu Yuan paused for a moment, then said, "Let's not play Texas Hold'em, let's roll the dice!"
Gu Yuan was quicker to think than Hua Jianxing. Seeing Zhou Xuan's calm expression and remembering that he was a master brought by Wei Haihong, she realized that Wei Haihong was not the kind of person who would boast or lie!
Could Zhou Xuan really be a top-tier expert? If the last few rounds of Three Kingdoms poker and all-in were all cheated by Zhou Xuan using his skills, then Zhou Xuan is an incredibly terrifying and unfathomable expert!
This is much more difficult than Ma Shu's, because Ma Shu needs to shuffle and deal the cards, and he can also lose when they are paying attention. However, they lost in the crucial bet. From this, Gu Yuan, Hua Jianxing and Zeng Guoyu definitely believe that Ma Shu cheated, but they just didn't see his cheating method at the most critical moment.
But now Gu Yuan recalls that Zhou Xuan only touched the cards in the first round after entering the room. In the subsequent rounds, he never touched the cards. The shuffling, dealing, and even the final dealing were all done with the help of Gu Yuan and Hua Jianxing. If Zhou Xuan cheated, then he would be an incredibly skilled player. This made Gu Yuan and the others somewhat skeptical. But if he didn't cheat, then his luck was just too good.
Upon thinking this through, Gu Yuan immediately changed his mind. He suggested playing dice, which he believed was the hardest game to cheat at.
Of course, it's not that cheating is impossible. In fact, all games involving gambling can be cheated. But since he was the one who brought this out, he naturally understood that the dice were remote-controlled and had been prepared in advance to test Zhou Xuan. The dice could be manipulated, and he himself was the one shaking them. Using this to test Zhou Xuan was the best tool available.
Whether Zhou Xuan cheated, whether they can win more money, or whether they can win the money back are the best indicators.
So when Gu Yuan brought it up, Hua Jianxing and Zeng Guoyu didn't object. They hadn't had enough of playing Texas Hold'em yet, and they had only played one game. But this one game made the three of them lose badly and painfully!
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Sure, you can play whatever you want!"
Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Gu Yuan's heart stirred, and he immediately asked, "Mr. Zhou, I'd like to ask something, but I don't know if it would be convenient for you to say it?"
"Sure, you can ask me anything I know, and I'll tell you!" Zhou Xuan replied with a smile, "except for my own!"
Of course they wouldn't say it. Not to mention Zhou Xuan, even among themselves, who would say it?
Gu Yuan chuckled and said, "Of course, of course I won't ask or say. I just want to ask, Mr. Zhou, did you cheat in those last few rounds?"
Zhou Xuan chuckled and replied, "I can tell you clearly that I cheated, but as for the method, I can't say!"
Gu Yuan laughed heartily, feeling relieved. As long as Zhou Xuan admitted to cheating, things would be much easier. With his superb skills, winning back the money from Ma Shu, or even more, wouldn't be a problem. If Zhou Xuan had cheated, they hadn't noticed any signs. Zhou Xuan's behavior even led the three of them to believe that he hadn't cheated at all and wouldn't have. Cheating is something even magicians need props in their hands, but Zhou Xuan had barely touched the cards. How could he have cheated?
Although Zhou Xuan himself admitted it, Gu Yuan and the other two were still skeptical. Perhaps Zhou Xuan said it on purpose after winning?
Seeing that Zhou Xuan had readily agreed to play dice with them again, Gu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and said no more. She took out the dice and dice cup, shook them a few times, and they made a crisp, tinkling sound.
Zhou Xuan had already used the ice energy to probe the surface. The dice in Gu Yuan's dice cup looked like crystal, but they were actually plastic, with an electronic chip in the middle. This was clearly a remote-controlled dice.
The remote control was in Zeng Guoyu's hands. Of course, Zeng Guoyu wouldn't take it out obviously, but would hide it in his pocket with his hands under the table in his pockets. This action was normal, and no one would notice anything unusual, but the three of them understood.
Wei Haihong didn't know about this, but that's exactly what he needed to know, so that they could figure out if Zhou Xuan had really cheated. What Gu Yuan and the others wanted was for Zhou Xuan to have cheated but not be able to tell. That's what makes a true master!
When Gu Yuan shook the dice a few times and placed them on the table, Zhou Xuan had already determined the numbers to be three, five, and six.
