Chapter 326 Testing Step by Step
"Okay, the skin will grow back."
Wen Ni's eyes curved into crescents as she sat down to one side, her skin radiating color.
“Come on, you open the dice cup.” Pi Seman pointed his finger at the dice cup in front of him.
Wen Ni pointed to herself with feigned surprise. Seeing Pi Se Man nod in agreement, she didn't refuse and casually opened the pot!
"4.8.10, small!"
"President Pi, you lost again!"
"Hmm? Is that so?" Pi Seman's eyes lingered as he looked away from Wen Ni, clearly not focused on the game of betting on dice!
Wen Ni withdrew her hand, somewhat apologetically saying, "President Pi, my luck is terrible, you'd better not let me touch the pot."
"Hey~ it's all just for fun, winning or losing doesn't matter." Pi Seman wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, he took Wen Ni's hand and pressed it against the pot again. "Keep playing. If you win, it's yours; if you lose, it's on me!"
"Wow! Chairman Pi is really generous!" The people at the gambling table cheered.
Wen Ni smiled and said, "Thank you, Chairman Pi."
"Keep going, keep going!"
Wen Ni played Sic Bo with Pi Seman for more than two hours.
At the end, Pi Seman patted Wen Ni's hand repeatedly, and when Wen Ni didn't react, his smile became even wider!
"Take care, Chairman Pi!"
"Yes, let's go back, Hua Ying."
Only after Chairman Pi's car drove out of sight did Wen Ni finally suppress the smile on her face!
He pulled out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket and wiped the back of his hand repeatedly until the skin on the back of his hand was rubbed red!
"Stop rubbing, you'll rub your skin raw." Ban Gou came out from behind the door, his playful gaze sweeping over Wen Ni's profile. "You gained Pi Seman's favor faster than I expected! It's only our second meeting, and he's already willing to pay so much money for you! Would you mind telling me how you did it?"
"Never mind how I did it." Wen Ni crumpled the used wet wipe into a ball, her face expressionless. "You just need to wait and see the results."
"But I'm still worried~ Sending a kid like you to kill such a big shot! I'm crazy enough~" Ban Gou lit a cigarette. "What if you fail to kill him and accidentally drag our guild down with you? Our boss will chop off my head!"
"You want me to kill someone and then get away with it all? You've got the best of both worlds!" Wen Ni scoffed disdainfully, taking a cigarette from Ban Gou with one hand and putting it in her mouth. "Don't worry, Brother Ban Gou. I'm already very grateful that you gave me a chance to prove myself. No matter the outcome, I won't let this mess affect the entire club!"
"You little rascal, you're quite like your brother in some ways." Ban Gou took a drag of his cigarette and turned his back. "By the way, that kid of yours came to my door a few days ago, and I sent him away. But I did tell him you guys are doing pretty well here!"
"Thank you, Brother Ban Gou," Wen Ni said.
Ban Gou neither responded nor turned around, his footsteps disappearing into the guild hall.
Outside the door, Wen Ni took a light drag on her cigarette, her tense nerves relaxing slightly. The smoke swirled around her, blurring her slightly melancholic eyes.
The sky was bright and clear as far as the eye could see.
But it's nowhere near as nostalgic as the endless rain in Gotham City, China!
It's been three months.
Is everything alright at home? What are Xiaocheng and the others doing?
And Lu Jinye...
He must have been terrified to see her fall into the sea, right? Or perhaps, did he resent her for leaving without a word or a sound?
He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it repeatedly.
Putting aside her fleeting, complicated thoughts, she turned around and walked into the clubhouse gate guarded by bodyguards!
It's better to just pretend she's dead.
She might not make it back alive this time either!
Longing, longing, is nothing more than an invisible shackle left for the bereaved. It's better not to keep it at all, lest it only increase sorrow.
The cigarette butt went out.
A gust of wind blew, and wisps of smoke drifted away, carrying the traveler's longing to the distant horizon...
"Hua Ying! Hua Ying!"
“I’ve secretly asked my girlfriends about it! None of them have ever heard of the name Williams! It’s very likely that this William has never even been to this clubhouse!”
During the break and mealtime, Maggie finally had a chance to get close to Wen Ni and say a few words!
“Indeed, he might have changed his name.” Wen Ni took a bite of her food, speaking casually.
According to previous reports from informants, Williams has been engaged in illegal trafficking in Myanmar, but he is elusive and his whereabouts are difficult to ascertain, making it hard to determine which chamber of commerce he is working for!
Finding Williams won't be easy. It'll have to be a gradual process, one step at a time!
“But my friend said that besides Chairman Pi, there’s another powerful chamber of commerce here with a mysterious background! Apparently, the Burmese government vouches for them!” Maggie said softly, shoving rice into her mouth. “What do you want with that William? Is it related to getting close to Chairman Pi?”
“There is some connection.” Wen Ni lowered her voice, her tone somewhat ambiguous. “Because I need to find a bigger backer.”
"Huh? I don't understand." Maggie was completely confused.
The Hua Ying before us is completely different from the one who was just rescued by Ma Qi. If the Hua Ying before was simple and weak, then the Hua Ying now is cunning, scheming and unpredictable!
The two were whispering to each other when they turned around and saw the bodyguard supervising them coming over. They quickly shut up and started eating quietly.
While we were eating, we suddenly heard a commotion coming from in front of the hall!
A moment later, a male waiter rushed in, panting and calling out Hua Ying's name.
"Hua Ying! The manager told me to call you out quickly. Go and see what's going on outside. It looks like those people causing trouble are coming for you!"
"Okay, coming right away!"
Wen Ni put down her chopsticks and stood up, her face still quite calm.
Maggie was somewhat flustered and had no appetite to continue eating, so she quickly picked up her pace to catch up!
As soon as they entered the front hall, they could hear the leader yelling loudly, "Don't waste time! Get that little bitch out here right now! She's shameless!"
"Do you think my Pi Family Chamber of Commerce is something that some lowly wretch can fawn over? What methods did that little wretch use to make my father so infatuated? If we hadn't discovered that the butler was here delivering something, I wouldn't even know about this!"
"That's right! Get that little slut named Hua Ying out here right now! What? My father is over 70 years old, and this little bitch still wants to marry him? Become a wealthy socialite, have a little prince, and kick the three of us out? Let me tell you, don't even think about it! Dream on!"
They're baring their teeth and brandishing their claws.
Wearing a black waitress uniform, with her hair neatly combed short, Wen Ni walked out with her head down and eyes demure.
When she spoke, her voice was still hoarse, as if an accent was on: "Are you looking for me?"
"That's right! It's us, and you're that little bitch Hua Ying..."
"Wait a minute! Why are you a man?!"
The three sons stared wide-eyed at Wen Ni's short hair and the male waiter's shirt she was wearing.
With a wheatish complexion, this face has a rather androgynous look, possessing both feminine softness and masculine strength!
