I took it with both hands. The ring felt cold to the touch, as if I was holding a heavy trust.
"Brother, I'm so grateful for your kindness!" I solemnly put the ring into my arms, and said firmly, "Once this matter is resolved, if you have any instructions in the future, I will go through fire and water and never say a word!"
Zhang Pingmin leaned back in his chair, a faint smile on his face, his eyes scrutinizing but revealing recognition: "You are willing to help a man who is plotting against you so wholeheartedly. Just because of your sincerity, I firmly believe that I have made the right choice of him."
Leaving Zhang Pingmin's villa, I felt an indescribable emotion in my heart. A senior who I had never met before lent a hand when I was most helpless. How can I repay this kindness?
When I returned to Lin Xun's house, there were many things I couldn't say in front of everyone, so I called Yu Zhiming to the study.
As soon as the door of the study was closed, I told him the strategies that Zhang Pingmin had taught me, one by one.
After hearing this, Yu Zhiming's eyes widened like bells, and his face was full of doubt: "Will this work?"
I looked solemn and nodded heavily: "This is the only way at the moment. Even if the hope is slim, we have to try it."
Yu Zhiming frowned, rubbing the corners of his clothes unconsciously with his hands: "I know nothing about this business. What if Brother Dian doesn't believe me?"
I walked to the window, looked at the lush green scenery outside, and said in a deep voice: "There is always a kind of people in this world who think they are smart and know everything. When facing unfamiliar fields, they not only have no awe, but are blindly confident... We should take advantage of this."
Before the gilded floor clock of the Kerry Century Hotel struck seven, Yu Zhiming and I arrived at the agreed location in advance - a luxurious private room on the top floor of the hotel.
As soon as the carved teak door was pushed open, two burly men came forward.
They were dressed in crisp black suits, black bow ties, and mirrored sunglasses that emitted a dazzling light, giving off a chilling aura.
The two of them gestured skillfully, indicating that we should raise our hands and turn around.
Then, their thick palms moved quickly over our bodies, their movements were skillful but not without vigilance.
From their steady steps and skillful techniques, it is not difficult to see that these people are by no means ordinary people, they are obviously well-trained fighters.
Being in it, I felt like I had broken into a tense scene of a gangster deal in a movie, and my heart was pounding uncontrollably.
After a search, the two men slightly turned sideways and gestured for us to enter the private room.
In the spacious private room, the European-style crystal chandelier casts cool light, illuminating the luxurious yet empty long table.
The air was filled with the faint aroma of red wine, but there was no one in sight. It seemed that we arrived a little earlier than the agreed time.
Half an hour passed in a flash, and the agreed time had long passed, but there was no sign of Dian Ge.
I subconsciously stroked the watch on my wrist. The dial was polished to a shine, reflecting my anxious face.
Looking at Yu Zhiming, he sat steadily on the carved leather chair with his back straight, tapping the armrest with his fingertips from time to time, with a relaxed posture.
This look was completely different from the panicked him when he was at Lin Xun's house.
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After all, I have been working in casinos for many years and have seen big scenes. Even when faced with a situation like this, I remained calm.
Perhaps only in front of a close relative like Lin Xun would he take off his disguise and reveal his true and vulnerable side.
"You're quite patient." I suppressed my annoyance and joked.
Yu Zhiming forced a wry smile and spread out his palms, which were covered with beads of sweat and shone under the light: "Brother Guan, I am just holding on. I am very panicked."
I was amused by his honesty and couldn't help but tease him, "You are a good actor!"
Just at this moment, the gilded carved door of the private room was pushed open with a creaky sound, and instantly, a strong smell of cologne filled the air.
The first thing that caught my eye was a thin man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and his shiny, slicked-back hair was meticulously combed. His every move exuded an aura that was not to be underestimated.
As he walked in, he raised his shoulders slightly, letting his Armani jacket slide off.
The big man behind him responded quickly, took a step forward and caught the coat steadily. This series of actions was as smooth as flowing water, obviously having been rehearsed countless times.
"Brother Dian!" Upon seeing this, Yu Zhiming stood up quickly, his voice carrying a hint of respect and nervousness.
I remained seated, pretending to be calm, and nodded slightly as a courtesy.
Dian Ge walked into the private room, his eyes were like knives, he stabbed me in the face viciously, then swaggered towards the main seat, the leather chair made a dull sound when he sat down
The big man standing behind Brother Dian was as burly as a small dog. He crossed his arms across his chest, and a hideous scar on his face looked even more terrifying under the reflection of the crystal chandelier.
Dian Ge crossed his legs and waved his hand nonchalantly, motioning Yu Zhiming to sit down. With a half-smile on his face, he asked in a shady tone, "Mr. Yu, who is this friend...?"
