Book 1: Chapter 156
Xiao Hua's all-in-all-out style of play was easy to see through for those who were familiar with it. He often used such tactics whenever we played mahjong, but we were usually playing for one or two hundred yuan (of course, were good law-abiding citizens who only play for one or two yuan now) (1). If it was really a fight for survival, then even the smallest tactics would interfere with the enemy's plans. Based on my understanding, Xiao Hua's first tactic was to muddy the waters. In other words, everything was a false move.
When Xiao Hua implemented these two tactics, he was already prepared to launch a full attack. He was just using strategy as a cover. It looked like he was signaling to everyone that he wanted to outwit the opponent this time, but in fact, he was only covering up his true intentions.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Xiao Hua was used to doing things in a big way, unlike me, who preferred causing a fuss in a low-key manner. Of course, there was no real right or wrong way when it came to our two methods.
So, when everyone in Xiao Huas team entered the fake entrance, Xiao Hua's core team didnt need to lie in ambush in the cave. After this move was made, Xiao Hua's core team in the building should have taken advantage of Boss Jiaos momentary hesitation and directly attacked.
From what I knew of him, I could guess who the attackers were. I watched Liu Sang quietly, wanting to know how the all-out attack had been defeated this time.
It wasnt water that came spraying out of the calling spring, but poisonous gas.
When I heard this, I thought of the quilts on both sides of the secret passage and felt my heart stir.

TN Notes:
(1) Fun fact from Tiffany: Wu Xie had to mention this because it was illegal if they played for one or two hundred yuan. It would be considered private gambling, which isnt allowed in China. (Not like they're grave robbers or anything lol)
