Chapter 584 Who to Choose
Today is the day for trading.
After Xiao Beisheng finished washing up, he checked his bulletproof vest.
There was a knock on the door: "Mr. Xiao, our boss invites you over for breakfast."
"knew."
Xiao Beisheng answered calmly.
It’s more than just breakfast.
The goods have arrived.
They also need to start trading.
During the transaction, it is the most tense period and both parties will be on high alert.
Arriving at Black Hawk's restaurant, Black Hawk was already sitting at the table, waiting for Xiao Beisheng.
From a distance, he waved at Xiao Beisheng and gave him a friendly smile: "Mr. Xiao."
Black Hawk was friendly, but his younger brother at the door stopped Xiao Beisheng and said, "Mr. Xiao, please cooperate with the body search."
Xiao Beisheng raised his hand and allowed the other party to search him.
He was not carrying any weapons, and even if he had, he would have been searched.
After the body search was completed, the person on the other side made way and bowed respectfully to Xiao Beisheng: "Mr. Xiao, please!"
Xiao Beisheng walked calmly to the opposite side of Black Hawk and sat down.
Apart from his bloodthirsty aura, Black Hawk does not have the gangster-like spirit of a criminal. Sometimes, compared to those bullies, Black Hawk is more polite and abides by the rules.
But the more this happens, the more difficult it becomes to see what kind of profoundness he has hidden behind him.
"The dishes are almost here, except for one more dish," Black Hawk said. "Our most famous dish is live fish, slaughtered and eaten right away. This kind of fish is the freshest and most fragrant. Does Mr. Xiao like fish?"
"Average." Xiao Beisheng was very frugal with his words.
Black Hawk smiled and said, "I have two fish here, but I can only make one dish. Mr. Xiao, please choose the one you like. We will kill it and eat it."
Black Hawk raised his hand and motioned Xiao Beisheng to look to the other side.
At the far end of the restaurant were two giant cylindrical fish tanks, three meters tall, about a person's height from the ceiling. They were so thick that it would take more than ten people to hug them.
The two fish tanks are the same size and independent of each other.
The water is clear and transparent, with nothing in it.
Xiao Beisheng frowned: "There is no fish in it."
"Don't worry, we'll catch some fish soon."
Black Hawk said, clapping his hands three times.
Xiao Beisheng was still staring at the fish tank, his nerves tense, just waiting to send a signal to the foreign aid immediately if the Black Hawk cheated.
Above the two fish tanks, the ceiling suddenly opened slowly.
——This ceiling actually hides a secret!
Two figures were suspended from the ceiling, hovering above the left and right fish tanks.
These two figures were none other than Su Man and Luo Yan.
The moment Xiao Beisheng saw Su Man, his breathing suddenly stopped and his pupils suddenly constricted.
Su Man and Luo Yan had their hands tied with special ropes and their mouths sealed with tape, so they couldn't make any sound. One could only tell from their expressions that they were in pain.
The weight of the entire body can only be supported by two arms, and being hung like this can easily lead to dislocation.
"The fish are coming now," Black Hawk laughed, but there was a knife hidden in his smile.
Xiao Beisheng was filled with anger. "What do you mean? Aren't we here to discuss a deal today? You keep asking me to be sincere, but is this your sincerity?"
"Mr. Xiao, don't be angry. It's just an appetizer. I have to judge whether you are worthy of my cooperation."
Xiao Beisheng frowned.
It is said that Black Hawk is a suspicious person by nature, but I didn't expect that at this point, Black Hawk is still testing Xiao Beisheng.
"Let them go. They have nothing to do with our business. Don't hurt other innocent people."
"Hahahaha, Mr. Xiao is quite upright. But the test has already begun. If you can't pass my test, our business deal will be over. If we can't do business, you can't leave me. If you choose one, two can survive. If you don't choose, none of the three can survive." Black Hawk stopped laughing and threatened: "You are here with me, do you have bargaining chips to negotiate with me?"
Xiao Beisheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Man and Luo Yan.
The rope hanging them was actually moving slowly downwards.
At this moment, the water surface in the fish tank has already covered their toes.
Black Hawk didn't give him time to hesitate!
There was no room for negotiation!
Someone brought a tray with an hourglass on it.
Black Hawk took the hourglass and turned the side full of sand upside down. The fine sand slowly passed through the funnel and slowly flowed down, and soon a small pile of sand piled up at the bottom.
Later, the gravel came one after another, splashing crystal sand, as if covered by a layer of hazy light, like a dream.
It's like a layer of beautiful and dreamy veil. When the veil is lifted, there is a cruel and bloody killing game behind it.
"When eating, it's best to use an hourglass to time it. Serve all the dishes before the sand runs out. This way, the dishes will taste the best," said Black Hawk.
Under the table, Xiao Beisheng clenched his fists.
If possible, he would rush over and fight Black Hawk to the death right now.
The hourglass only has one minute.
One minute, sixty seconds.
One third of the sand has already leaked out.
"If I choose any one of them, what will the other one do?" Xiao Beisheng asked.
"The binding device will be automatically cut off, and the other person will fall into the fish tank. Of course, if you are brave enough, I allow you to jump into the fish tank to save people."
He looked at Su Man, then at Luo Yan, "I choose——"
At this time, Black Hawk suddenly said: "I changed my mind."
Xiao Beisheng frowned.
"In order to reduce the difficulty of the game, I have another option for Mr. Xiao to choose."
"you say."
"The first option is for Mr. Xiao to verbally choose someone. If you choose one person, the other person will fall into the fish tank and be in danger of their life. The other option is for you to rescue them yourself. You'll be given a certain amount of time. If you can rescue them within that time, no one else will be in danger of falling into the fish tank. After all... this fish tank is so deep. Even if you do find someone, you might not be able to get them out safely. By then, you might both be in danger of your lives."
Xiao Beisheng frowned and pondered for a while.
Finally, he said, "I choose the second one."
Black Hawk smiled knowingly and clapped his hands three times. The machine carrying Su Man and Luo Yan slowly rose and brought them back to a place where they could not be seen.
"They each have a room. Mr. Xiao, please pick a room." Black Hawk said, raised his hand and threw a key in front of Xiao Beisheng.
Xiao Beisheng glanced at the hourglass and said, "I need more time, and you must not hurt anyone easily. Otherwise, I will no longer cooperate with you, nor will we continue our business partnership. I am here, but that doesn't mean I am alone and helpless."
"Hey, Mr. Xiao, why are you so serious?" Black Hawk took the hourglass off the table and pulled out a stopwatch from his chest. "Ten minutes, how's that? That's good enough, right? Once the game is over, we'll deliver the goods right away. You won't find goods with such high purity and at such a reasonable price anywhere else except here."
Black Hawk suddenly became very easy to talk to, and there seemed to be a deeper amusement hidden in his smile.
He seemed to be waiting for something bigger.
Xiao Beisheng knew very well that things would definitely not be that easy.
But as Black Hawk said, Xiao Beisheng has no choice now.
He stood up and walked to the room behind the fish tank.
On the left, a Suman.
On the right, there is Luo Yan.
Everyone inside is waiting in the dark, who will Xiao Beisheng choose?
