Chapter 239: Atonement

Cheng Wanjin: "Hey, you're talking nonsense again, aren't you? You're late and you're talking nonsense. You're guilty of both crimes. You'll have to drink six cups before you can eat."

Fan Xi: "I'm so happy to meet a great man today. I'd accept even ten cups, not to mention six. Come on, let me play a few hands with you two distinguished guests today."

Duanmu Lin: "Is your business always this slow? Are you only relying on collecting protection fees and lending money to make a living now?"

Fan Xi and Cheng Wanjin burst into laughter at Duanmu Lin's words.

Fan Xi finally managed to hold back his laughter and said, "In order to better entertain you, our boss decided to close the restaurant today and only entertain you two."

Situ: "So that's how it is. Boss Cheng is so polite."

Fan Xi: "We have all kinds of gambling here, what do you want to play?"

Situ: "Keep it simple, just 21."

Suddenly, Duanmu Lin's cell phone rang.

"Hello? Who are you and why do you have my cell phone number?" Duanmu Lin asked coldly, suppressing his inner panic.

It was not until the other party burst into loud laughter that Duanmu Lin felt relieved, because the person who called him was Bo Sang and not the people he was most afraid of.

"Master Duanmu, it's me, Bo Sang. You may not recognize me, but it doesn't matter. First time is first time, second time is second time. I know you are at the Tianlan Casino now. Is it convenient for us to meet? I am here to negotiate with you sincerely."

Duanmu Lin glanced at Cheng Wanjin and said, "I don't care. I'm just one of Boss Cheng's guests. If he lets you in, I naturally have no problem." Then he hung up the phone.

Duanmu Lin: "It seems that there are more than just us guests at the Sky Blue Casino today. Boss Cheng, why don't you invite the other guests out so we can get to know them?"

Cheng Wanjin: "Oh, I don't dare. Without your Master Duanmu's approval, how could I dare to bring some questionable people in front of you?"

Duanmu Lin: "Alright, alright, call Bo Sang out! Let's talk things over face to face."

Cheng Wanjin: "Okay, okay, I'll call him out right away."

He gave Zhang Fanxi a look, and Fanxi walked out after receiving it. After a while, Bosang also came in with a few brothers and followed Fanxi in.

Bo Sang quickly extended his hand and said, "Master Duanmu, hearing about him is truly not as good as meeting him in person!"

Duanmu Lin glanced at Bo Sang and ignored him.

Cheng Wanjin: "Master Duanmu doesn't like shaking hands with people. Brother Bosang, didn't you say you brought a lot of things to apologize to Master Duanmu?"

Duanmu Lin: "Yes, yes, Master Duanmu, look, this is the tiger skin I hunted down before. Look how beautiful the fur is!"

He asked his men to open one of the boxes he was carrying.

"Well? I wonder if this will please Master Duanmu."

Duanmu Lin only took a look at the tiger skin and touched it with his hand.

Duanmu Lin couldn't help but tease him a few times: "You used to be just a small fry under General Khun Sa. When he and I were having dinner together, you were running around in your pants and I don't know where you are. So you dare to shake hands with me and kill my people? I think you have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's courage, don't you?"

"It's a fine piece of fur, but it's unwise to try to get the skin of a tiger!"

Duanmu Lin: "As long as you, Master Duanmu, like it, the tiger's death is worthwhile. As for what it means to seek the skin of a tiger, I don't really understand."

Seeing that Duanmu Lin was not very interested, Bo Sang could only reluctantly take out a wooden box and put it in front of Duanmu Lin and said, "Master Duanmu, I know I was wrong before. Here are more than two million as an apology gift to you. I hope you will accept it."

Situ opened the box, took out a stack of money, shook it, and nodded to Duanmu Lin.

Duanmu Lin: "That's about right. Did you recently recruit a new disciple named Mingli?"

Bo Sang: "Yes, yes, he is not only my younger brother but also my nephew. Why do you care about him, Master Duanmu?"

Duanmu Lin glanced at his younger brothers who were accompanying him.

"Why doesn't he come with you?"

Bo Sang: "I saw that he was still young, and I was afraid that this kind of situation might be dangerous and scare him, so I didn't bring him along."

Duanmu Lin: "I'll take the money, but you can keep the tiger skin! Send your nephew Mingli to my house tomorrow, and we'll let this matter go. I won't hold any grudges."

Persang: "What do you want your nephew for?"

Duanmu Lin: "Is it difficult for you to give up your love? Then forget it, just wait..."

"No, no, no, Master Duanmu, you really are a joker. How can I give up a little kid? I will send him back to your home intact tomorrow." Before Duanmu Lin could finish his words, Bo Sang stopped him.

Duanmu Lin: "Very good, you are smart. If you have nothing else, you can leave. I still have something to say to Boss Cheng."

Bo Sang: "Okay, okay, then I won't disturb the two bosses. You can chat slowly."

Bo Sang bent over and slowly retreated.

Cheng Wanjin couldn't help but applaud.

"Master Duanmu is indeed Master Duanmu. He has such a powerful aura and courage that he managed to intimidate that fearless desperado with just a few words. I guess the only person in the world who can make Bo Sang so sincerely convinced is you, Master Duanmu."

Duanmu Lin: "Save those hypocritical and boring compliments of yours for New Year's greetings! I've been in China for a few years, and the people in the Burmese government have almost completely changed. Aren't you familiar with them? Introduce me to someone who can hold military power."

Cheng Wanjin was very surprised: "Master Duanmu is so anxious to meet General Hongtai, is there something?"

Duanmu Lin: "This is none of your business, just do as you are told."

Cheng Wanjin thought about it and agreed after gritting his teeth: "Just leave this matter to me. Although I don't know what you want to do, I trust you."

Duanmu Lin patted Cheng Wanjin's arm and said, "My friend, thank you for your trust in me."

Cheng Wanjin: "I believe you will not let me down. Now that we've finished our work, can we have some fun?"

Duanmu Lin: "I'm afraid I'm going to let you down. You're just interested in the two million dollars I just won and want to win them all in one go, right?"

Cheng Wanjin: "This..."

Duanmu Lin: "Stop being so secretive. I know exactly what you gambling den owners are thinking. You're like vampires. You won't give up until you've sucked all our money away. I won't fall for your tricks."

Cheng Wanjin: "Hahaha, would you, Master Duanmu, care about that mere two million?"

Duanmu Lin: "Things always turn around. Times are different now. Even someone as glamorous as me will one day haggle over a mere two million dollars."

He picked up the box containing two million and said to Fanxi, "Brother, I have something to do this time, so I'll leave first. I look forward to playing together next time."

Situ also smiled at Fan Xi and left with Duanmu Lin without saying a word.
