Just as Yiben was about to speak again, he suddenly cheered and said, "Haha, watch me shine now and win back all the money you won from me before."
As it turned out, Yiben finally had a stroke of luck and drew a good hand, allowing him to break even in one go, winning back all the money he had lost. The other three players were somewhat dejected. After handing over the money, one of them, no longer in the mood to play cards, said, "Brother Saliem, the submarine below has been down there too long, and the air quality is very poor, should we let them come up for a rest?"
Saliem replied, "That submarine is our foundation, and the hostages are on it, so we must not expose them. The reason my ship has been moving slowly is to cover for them, and even my crew doesn't know there's a submarine below. I know they have had a hard time down there, so after this operation is over, I will recommend them for commendation to our superiors."
