Casino 3rd Floor
Wang Ruicheng picked up the ashtray on the table and smashed it down heavily.
Countless sharp and transparent glass fragments flew up and hit the ground heavily.
The room was a mess.
Just then, there were several cautious knocks on the door.
Wang Ruicheng scratched his hair irritably and said loudly, "Come in."
One of his men cautiously pushed the door open and walked in. He stood outside the door with a concerned look on his face. He did not dare to look up at the chaotic scene in the box that was like a tornado passing through. He stammered, "Well, Master Wang, ... we still can't contact them. We've searched everywhere, but they said they didn't see them come out of PUZZEL..."
Before he could finish his words, Wang Ruicheng became angry again. He picked up the only remaining cup on the table and smashed it towards the door.
The subordinate subconsciously shrank his shoulders and did not dare to hide. He just stood there.
Wang Ruicheng hid in the box angrily, his fat face flushed red, and the flesh on his cheeks seemed to tremble with his intense emotions: "Can't find it? Can't find it!? Then keep looking for it, keep contacting! If my third cousin knows that I secretly used his connections to enter that ghost club, not only will I be exposed but I haven't found that Cheng Chen, not to mention me, you will also be finished! Do you understand?"
The men standing at the door nodded in fear and trepidation and fled away.
The box returned to silence. Wang Ruicheng fell heavily on the sofa like a deflated ball, wiping his face tiredly and regretfully.
He was actually impulsive. Although he was careful to bring Cheng Chen's father with him when he sent someone, he didn't really think too much about it...
As a result, he accidentally caused a disaster. Not only did he fail to bring the person back, but even his own men were detained.
His cell phone suddenly rang.
Wang Ruicheng looked at the caller ID and his eyes went dark. He hesitated for a long time before finally answering the phone in despair:
"…Hello? Third cousin?"

Han Li stood at the school gate, looking down and playing with the mobile phone in his hand.
The bright sunlight enveloped him in a dim halo. He had his school uniform jacket draped over his arm and wore only a white shirt underneath, making him look taller and more slender. The girls passing by him couldn't help but cast their glances in that direction, either openly or secretly.
He lowered his eyes, as if he was unaware of everything around him, and was just immersed in his own thoughts.
On the dimmed screen of the phone, a text message from an unknown contact showed as read.
——PUZZEL’s invaders confessed their mastermind.
As expected, they were indeed sent by the East City Casino where the Japanese and Korean officials went to discuss cooperation. According to one of them, their boss was horrified after seeing a few thugs who looked badly beaten, so he sent them out urgently, and also asked them to bring Cheng Chen's father with him to trick him out under the pretext of seeing that his son was not a good student, and to prevent his classmates from becoming suspicious.
Han Li now controls both visible and hidden resources. The visible business expands and develops with PUZZEL as the origin, while the hidden power is related to Lin Ziyu. He acts cautiously and covertly, and his two identities are hidden perfectly. The new forces in the east of the city obviously discovered the flaw, so they spread the news to test him, but they didn't expect that they were ruined by a few reckless gangsters.
Cheng Chen had appeared in the casino on the same day as him, and now he was discovered to be the person who rescued him from the gangsters before, so it was not surprising that he was mistaken for being on his side.
Considering the account book mentioned by Cheng Zekang, Han Li had a vague guess in his mind.
Many casinos have some hidden rules, even those that operate legally. They will mix some rigged tables among the ordinary gambling tables to make a large amount of gray income, so they generally prepare two types of account books, the obvious one is fine, while the hidden one is used to record these gray incomes that are not reported.
Cheng Chen has amazing gambling skills and is considered to be his subordinate. Naturally, the casino operators think that he is the person he sent to find those watered tables and calculate their gray accounts through algorithms, which is why they are so nervous.
The phone in my hand vibrated twice:
"What are you going to do next?"
Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped the screen lightly with his finger:
"Looking for the account book."
Since you are so afraid of the account book falling into my hands, I must find it.
At this moment, there was a commotion among the crowd around him. Han Li turned off the screen and looked in the direction where the commotion came from.
I saw the transfer student who had just transferred to their class today walking through the crowd and straight towards me. His slender figure was like a newly sprouted bamboo shoot, and his facial features shrouded in the setting sun were beautiful and delicate, his cheeks and hair looked soft, and he made people unable to control their pity for him.
...Cheng Chen actually likes this type?
Han Li was a little distracted.
Ye Jinghuan had already walked in front of him, raised his palm-sized face and looked at him, blinking his cat eyes smartly, as if he was a little embarrassed, and whispered apologetically: "Um... This morning, I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm very sorry, I hope you can forgive me, okay?"
Han Li frowned, and his mind was filled with the scene of this morning uncontrollably——
In the noisy classroom, the gentle and handsome boy half-bent his thin back, with red marks on his fair face. He had narrow double-eyes and glanced at him lazily. With a nonchalant and casual attitude, he commented in a hoarse voice, "Not bad, he should have a good personality."
If he remembered correctly, this was the first time he took the initiative to make a positive comment on something since he met Cheng Chen.
An indescribable anger suddenly surged up in Han Li's heart, and his expression instantly darkened. Dark thoughts rose in his mind, circling and tightening its slender and cold body, hissing and whispering in his ears, and every word seemed to drip with black and thick poison.
Ye Jinghuan, who was standing in front of him, was still chattering annoyingly:
"...If you don't mind, we can be friends..."
Before he could do anything, he caught a glimpse of Cheng Chen's figure just walking out of the school gate.
Some extreme thoughts in his mind seemed to be calmed down instantly. Han Li didn't even bother to look at Ye Jinghuan standing in front of him. He turned around and walked away indifferently.
Ye Jinghuan was shocked. He really didn't expect Han Li to have such an attitude. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed his sleeve:
"Hey, why are you..."
The lame boy in front of him stopped in his tracks when he was dragged. He turned sideways and glanced back coldly. His dark eyes were like cold stars dipped in ice water, staring down at him condescendingly, as if he was just an inanimate object. Ye Jinghuan couldn't help but shiver all over and stood still.
Before he could come to his senses, he heard Han Li say indifferently:
"Let go."
Ye Jinghuan loosened his fingers in a daze.
As if touched by something dirty, Han Li lowered his eyes, gently patted the non-existent dust on his sleeves with his fingers, then turned around and left without looking back.
The eyes of the people around him were cast at him from both open and dark, as if invisible spotlights were shining on him. Ye Jinghuan's cheeks became hot and red uncontrollably. He lowered his head half in shame and half at a loss, avoiding the gazes of others around him. His slender white fingers tightened the straps of his schoolbag, and he turned around and ran away quickly.
As he ran, he thought in shame and anger: I will never take the initiative to talk to this rude person again!
Han Li, who had already walked away, quickened his pace without any concern and limped to the side of Shen Kong.
Chen Kong walked out of the school gate slowly with his bag slung across his shoulder. He was a little surprised when he saw Han Li:
"Why are you here?"
"I figured we'd meet at your house anyway, so I might as well wait for you to get out of school together."
"How long have you been waiting?"
Han Li followed behind him and shook his head: "Not long ago, I just came out too."
Shen Kong stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulders, which were extremely stiff from a day's sleep. His neck made a crisp sound of bones rubbing against each other as he turned. He lazily stepped forward and said, "Okay, let's go."
Han Li's cold and indifferent face just now now had a slight smile on it, and the sharp lines on his face softened, making him look like a gentle boy next door. He quickened his pace to catch up with Chen Kong, and the two of them quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The onlookers who had watched the whole process from beginning to end looked at the two people leaving in shock, almost unable to believe their eyes.
Is this really the same person as before?
