Following the introduction of Jia Zuowei in "Square 10", the next page immediately follows with information about the higher-ups.
"J of Diamonds" Li Chengfeng.
"Q the Block" by Jin Ruge.
"K of Diamonds" Liu Xingxing.
"Ace of Diamonds" is correct.
That's it?
Is there no other information?
Chuanliu's eyes were fixed on the money string, wondering what he was up to.
Seeing that his plan had successfully provoked the girl, a mischievous smile spread across the man's face.
“You have the right not to tell me your plans, and I naturally have the right to discount what I give you.”
Chuanliu extended her slender index finger, gently hooked it around the man's collar, and gently pulled him closer.
Her lips parted slightly, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness:
"The reason I didn't tell you was because I was worried about your safety... Brother Qian Liu, you wouldn't be so petty, would you?"
As she drew closer, her cool breath gently brushed against the man's ear, like a breeze rippling across a lake.
The man's pupils contracted rapidly in an instant, but returned to normal when he looked at the girl again.
He grabbed the hand that was wreaking havoc on his chest, his eyes gleaming with a smile, yet tinged with a hint of cunning:
Unfortunately, I've never been a magnanimous person.
Seeing that his plan had failed, Chuanliu disappointedly broke free of the hand, crossed his arms, and spoke with dissatisfaction:
"If I hadn't helped you, would you have easily gained Jia Zuowei's trust? How could you have so easily obtained that '8 of Diamonds'? You might not even be standing here alive today. And yet you say I, as an ally, haven't been dedicated enough?"
Qian Chuan shrugged casually, "Didn't I also give you information about most of the people?"
Chuanliu was speechless. "But all those people in the information you gave me are dead now!"
In the midst of this chaos, apart from Qian Chuan himself, all those mentioned have unfortunately perished.
The information Qian Chuan provided was actually useless to her.
The man stared at her meaningfully and slowly asked, "Then tell me, who is it all because of?"
Chuanliu remained silent.
Although the core conflict in this dispute did not originate with her, she did intentionally try to provoke it.
She wanted to argue back, but found that she didn't have a strong enough argument.
Seeing that Chuanliu remained silent, Qian Chuan continued, "Besides, when we formed the alliance, you didn't say that you wanted real-time updated information."
Indeed, who could have predicted that these people, from "3 of Diamonds" to "10 of Diamonds," would die one after another in such a short period of time?
This time, Chuanliu was tricked by Qianchuan, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
She narrowed her eyes, forced a slightly stiff smile, and said through gritted teeth:
"Brother Qian Liu".
"I am here."
"Been taught a lesson!"
"You're welcome."
Just as the two were exchanging heated words, a crisp knock suddenly sounded at the study door. This unexpected sound was like a gust of cold wind, instantly dispelling the faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
Chuanliu and Qianchuan simultaneously suppressed their playful expressions and quickly regained their serious demeanor.
Qian Chuan frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his heart, wondering who would come looking for him at this moment.
He replied in a deep voice, "Go in."
The study door slowly opened, and the receptionist from Qianchuan cautiously walked in.
His face was full of embarrassment, and he stammered:
"Boss, yes, someone is looking for you."
Qian Chuan keenly noticed his subordinate's unusual behavior and asked:
"who?"
Just as the staff member was about to speak, a woman's voice interrupted the conversation.
The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar, like a long-lost friend ringing in my ears again.
"What? Long time no see, Brother Qian Liu, don't you remember me?"
As the sound faded, a familiar figure appeared at the study doorway.
She wore a sharp, well-tailored suit that accentuated her slender figure. Her short, neat hair softened her baby face, giving her a more sophisticated and decisive elegance.
A smile played on her lips, and her eyes gleamed with a deep, penetrating light, as if she could see right through people's hearts.
This person was none other than Xu Zhi, whom we hadn't seen for a long time.
Her arrival instantly created a subtle atmosphere in the study.
Xu Zhi slowly walked into the study, her gaze sweeping over Qian Chuan and Chuan Liu before finally settling on Chuan Liu.
She smiled and said, "You two, how have you been?"
Xu Zhi's appearance was unexpected for both of them.
Compared to Jia, who had met Xu Zhiyi before the incident, Qian Chuan was more shocked.
He snapped out of his reverie and replied, "Indeed, it's been a long time. Mr. Xu, you're still as dashing as ever."
The woman smiled in acknowledgment.
Just then, another figure appeared behind Xu.
The man was dressed entirely in black, with a black mask covering half his face, revealing only a pair of deep, bright eyes.
He stood quietly behind Xu Zhi, like a silent statue, yet he exuded an unsettling aura.
Chuanliu's temples throbbed.
Why is he here too?
Following behind Xu was the assassin Zhui Ming, who had disappeared after the Jia incident.
Zhuiming's gaze quickly locked onto Chuanliu, as if he had regained the sharpness and coldness he had shown when they first met.
The expression hidden beneath the black mask seemed unchanged, but Chuanliu always felt that Zhuimei was smiling, a smile with a profound meaning.
Money String, who was well-versed in the ways of Paradise Island, also recognized the man's identity immediately—"8 of Spades" Chasing Life.
His nerves immediately tensed, alarm bells rang in his mind, but he kept a straight face as he watched Xu Zhi.
"I never expected that Boss Xu had already partnered with the renowned '8 of Spades.' No wonder Jia suffered such a crushing defeat."
Xu Zhi toyed with a stray hair by his ear and said casually:
"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to cause you trouble."
Qian Chuan smirked. "Oh? Now that Boss Xu has achieved his goal, what else is there to do here?"
The woman shook her head, looking disappointed, sighed softly, and said:
"Brother Qian, you're too kind. I'm here today to thank you both. Especially Chuanliu, who helped me so much, I have to keep my promise."
The woman looked at Chuan Liu, and the appreciation and gratitude in her eyes seemed genuine.
Chuanliu glanced at Zhuiming with some unease, unsure of how much Zhuiming and Xu Zhi had discussed.
But Zhui Ming seemed to be doing it on purpose, turning his gaze away.
Chuanliu had no choice but to remain calm and respond without showing any emotion:
"We haven't congratulated Mr. Xu on his promotion to 'Square 10' yet; we just didn't expect you to make the trip in person."
"us?"
Xu Zhi's gaze swept over the two of them again, and the four pairs of eyes present actually formed a situation of equal confrontation.
