Just as the three were talking, a footstep so light it was almost inaudible slowly approached.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who was always paying attention to the surroundings, turned around and looked back.
He was a formally dressed elderly foreign man.
Just as he was about to frown, he heard Huo Jing call out, "Grandpa Joel."
Joel looked at Huo Jing with loving eyes, "Young Master, the master said it's getting late and we should go back."
Huo Jing immediately looked at Luo Qingming, who walked to Lin Xiaoxiao's side and said, "You go back, I want to go with my sister."
"I'm worried about you, you..." Huo Jing frowned.
Lin Xiaoxiao's appearance in Hong Kong disguised like this suggests she's on some mysterious mission, surrounded by dangers. How could he feel comfortable letting Luo Qingming stay by her side?
Luo Qingming glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao's belly.
His sister is pregnant, and he doesn't feel comfortable leaving her alone.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Joel without showing any emotion. He was standing next to Huo Jing, with a kind face, like a very good-tempered elder.
but......
Lin Xiaoxiao's gaze swept over his hands, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes.
This hand gesture seems familiar.
If she remembered correctly, she had seen it in Sean Davis's manor study.
It was a two-meter-long black-and-white composite photograph. In the photograph, she saw several previous presidents of the United States, as well as top figures from all walks of life.
Besides, there were many other people she didn't know, whose positions were even more central than the president's.
Of all the actions, this one left the deepest impression on her.
With the index finger extended and the thumb almost clasped inward to the palm, the frequency of each tremor of the little finger is like a hidden code.
The person making this gesture wore a wide-brimmed hat and leaned on a jewel-encrusted cane in his right hand, resembling an ancient European nobleman.
Huo Jing's stepfather has a complicated background.
Perhaps sensing Lin Xiaoxiao's watchful gaze, Joel raised his slightly lowered eyes.
"Sister, I'll come with you. Don't think I'm a bother." Luo Qingming tugged at Lin Xiaoxiao's sleeve.
He begged her to take him with her.
With his brother-in-law away, he needs to take good care of his sister.
Lin Xiaoxiao pushed him toward Huo Jing, "I don't have time to take care of you, go stay with your brother."
The port city is neither too big nor too small.
She hadn't expected to run into the two of them so soon. Given the dangers around her, she decided it was best not to involve them.
She felt at ease knowing that Luo Qingming was by Huo Jing's side.
"Sister..." Luo Qingming steadied herself and was about to say something when Huo Jing interrupted her.
"Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of him." Her tone was so formal, it was as if she were making a vow.
After saying that, she grabbed Luo Qingming's wrist tightly, preventing him from running away with Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao suppressed a muffled laugh and glanced at their hands.
You'd better keep your word.
After saying that, he turned and went back to the casino.
She left for a short while, and Wang Dazhuang and the gang leader were already gambling away at the table.
Wang Dazhuang's hands were empty; he had lost all his chips and hadn't won a single hand.
"Want to play again?" The gang leader crossed his legs, the chips in front of him so high they almost blocked his view, his tone disdainful.
The Triad members behind them also looked at the Black Tiger Gang members with disdain.
"Is the Black Tiger Gang really that poor? They dare to come out and play with so little money?"
"Oh, so you guys switched sides with the police station? What's wrong? They didn't give you lackeys anything good?"
"Everyone should remember these people's faces. From now on, we'll call them lackeys."
Hahahaha...
A wild laugh echoed throughout the casino.
Wang Dazhuang slammed his fist on the gambling table and stood up abruptly. "You bastard surnamed Hei, you cheated, didn't you?"
He didn't win a single one of the more than twenty games he played. People who frequented entertainment venues could tell something was wrong at a glance.
Although Wang Dazhuang is simple-minded, he is not stupid.
When he saw the mocking smile on the gang leader's face, he knew he had been tricked.
“Talking nonsense will come at a price.” The gang leader sat up straight. “Dazhuang, you should think carefully before you speak.”
Wang Dazhuang snorted, "Old Hei, you're really ruthless."
It's obvious, why make things up?
"Hmph." The gang leader's face turned cold. "Don't forget whose territory this is."
To accuse him of cheating at his Triad venue is audacious.
These words marked the beginning of a complete falling out between the two.
The big news is finally here!
After watching them play for more than ten minutes, the onlookers who had begun to get bored suddenly perked up and their eyes widened.
"What happened?" Just when everyone thought a fight was about to break out, a neutral voice rang out.
The Black Tiger Gang members immediately started talking like wronged wives, recounting the whole story to Lin Xiaoxiao.
It also specifically emphasized that the gang leader cheated.
"Cheating?"
"Cheating?"
"Specifically targeting you?"
Lin Xiaoxiao repeated each sentence, and the Black Tiger Gang members echoed her.
After asking the question, he looked at the gang leader and said, "It seems the former gang leader is determined to oppose our Black Tiger Gang to the very end."
The former gang leader's face darkened for a moment, but he quickly put on a fearless expression again.
What was he afraid of? This was Triad territory; they wouldn't dare make a move here...
"Bang!"
Suddenly, an iron rod came crashing down on the gambling table, shaking the chips soaring up and scattering them to the ground.
The loud noise drew the attention of everyone in the casino.
The group of people who were about to leave at the door stopped and looked back.
After Lin Xiaoxiao threw the iron rod, she smiled wickedly, placed her hand under the gambling table, and gently flipped it over, causing the entire table to overturn towards the gang leader.
"grass."
The gang leader, who hadn't expected her to pull this stunt, was caught off guard. Fortunately, his men reacted quickly and pulled him out from under the table.
"You son of a bitch..." A wave of pain shot through his back, and he was about to start cursing before he could even stand up straight.
Lin Xiaoxiao slammed the stick down again.
This time, they smashed a huge hole in the table, making an even louder noise than before.
"They cheated on us?"
"I'll smash up your place, brothers, get them!"
With a wave of his hand, the Black Tiger Gang brothers, who had been waiting in ambush, rushed forward, some smashing things, others beating people up.
It's a complete mess.
The guests who came to play either ran away or just watched the excitement.
Wang Dazhuang punched the gang leader, then gave Lin Xiaoxiao a thumbs up.
The eldest brother is indeed the most trustworthy person.
They said they'd cause a scene, and they did.
Not far away—
Huo Jing and Luo Qingming stared in disbelief at Lin Xiaoxiao, who stood in the middle of the battlefield, yet no one dared to lay a hand on her.
Yorn glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "Friends?"
The two shook their heads.
Joel stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear. Yorn looked away and said, "Let's go."
