Under Gao Xin's arrangement, in fact, the overall situation allowed him to play no matter which color dominated.
If the trend were blue, then Phoenix, Yak, and Mandala would all be blue, plus Mandala's firm belief that Gao Xin was blue, so they could form an overt blue alliance.
Moreover, Mandala would cooperate with him in pretending to be black in front of Li Fengqing, so Gao Xin, who was actually a black player, could also draw Li Fengqing to his side.
They would form a six-person alliance, completely isolating Big White Shark and Lester.
There was no need for Gao Xin to act personally, with Li Fengqing, the evident black player, leading the attack, and a few randomly played cards by the others would be too much for those two to defeat.
This splendid dominance was the easiest path to victory.
What if things went as Big White Shark wished, and the trend turned black? It wouldn't matter.
Gao Xin, Phoenix, Li Fengqing, Yak, and Sivina would all turn black as well.
