"Then what do you mean?! Song Ke, why I asked you to release Hu Yue at this time, others may not know, but don't you understand?!"
Hu Yue is a suspect, but only a suspect!
I have no objection to bringing her back for investigation, but isn't it a bit much to keep her in solitary confinement for a whole day and night?
The entire special task force is now extremely dissatisfied with this matter!
What am I supposed to do?! I only released Hu Yue, and haven't punished you as they demanded. That's enough! I hope you'll think twice and handle your own affairs properly!
Stop causing all this unnecessary trouble!
The chief inspector rolled his eyes at Song Ke and pointed rudely at the closed office door: "Now, get out!"
Although Song Ke was dissatisfied, he had no way to confront the chief inspector at this juncture.
Putting everything else aside, at least one thing the chief inspector was right about: Hu Yue's connections within the entire special task force were indeed better than his! If he continued to harp on this matter, he would definitely incur public wrath!
At this juncture, having too many enemies is not a good thing.
Song Ke had finally convinced himself to endure and lie low for the time being, but on the other hand, the sorcerer Weng Hani, whom he had just calmed down, ran into trouble.
He did indeed follow Song Hui's advice and lay low in the hotel, remaining inactive.
But even if he stays put, he still needs to eat and have some entertainment! Otherwise, wouldn't he get moldy staying in the hotel every day?!
He had been out partying every day without incident, but tonight, as soon as he entered the bar he frequented, he realized something was wrong.
Although the place still looked as lively as ever, he inexplicably felt that something was wrong!
At first, Onghani genuinely thought it was just that he was being paranoid lately, trying to evade his pursuers! But after he sat down and drank a couple of glasses of wine, he finally used his alcohol-numbed brain to figure out why he felt something was off in the bar—
There's no one here!
Onghani felt a chill run down his spine, and the effects of the alcohol instantly dissipated. He didn't care about anything else and instinctively tried to get up and slip away, but before he could stand up, someone grabbed his shoulder and pressed him back down to his seat at the bar.
"The real show hasn't even started yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?!" Gu Qi, dressed in a black trench coat, leaned against the bar and smiled kindly at Weng Hani: "Our boss is in a good mood today, so he put on an impromptu event!"
You're our lucky customer today! You have the chance to gamble against our boss! Don't you dream of becoming rich overnight?!
"...Sorry, I just remembered I have something to do and I have to go first! Why don't you find someone else for this opportunity?!" Because Gu Qi did not deliberately hide his aura and identity, Weng Hani recognized Gu Qi at a glance.
It was precisely because of this keen eye that he suddenly remembered his past grievances and entanglements with Gu Qi!
This Qiongqi was severely injured back then, for reasons unknown! At the time, he felt he was lucky and wanted to subdue it!
It was so close, but...
I originally thought that Qiongqi could no longer exist in this world! Otherwise, with a ferocious beast like Qiongqi, there was no way it could have remained quiet and without revealing any clues for so many years!
It was because of this idea that he dared to set foot on the land of China again!
He originally thought he was incredibly lucky to have come here. He had encountered Qiongqi before, and this time he actually saw a Pixiu! It was a Pixiu that looked to be only recently grown up and not yet very powerful!
Isn't this a stroke of good luck bestowed upon him by God?!
To his utter surprise, his trapping plan encountered a mountain of trouble before it could even be implemented! And now, he's even run into his old nemesis, Qiongqi, in a familiar place...
Could it be that his good luck was used up simply because he encountered these two mythical beasts?!
No way!
"That won't do! If it's you, it has to be you! Unless you lose the ability to participate in the game. For example, by becoming a dead person!"
Gu Qi shook his head, decisively rejecting Onghani's suggestion.
He reached for the dice set on the bar and called out into the darkness, "Boss, the guests are ready. Shouldn't you take your place too?!"
Following the direction of Gu Qi's gaze, Weng Hani turned around and saw Song Mengmeng walking over with a beaming smile. The girl's smile did not hide her good mood at all. She walked over generously and nodded to Weng Hani: "Welcome, lucky guest!"
Our bet is simple: you can win wealth, luck, and everything else you could ever dream of from me! All you have to do is beat me!
The process is even simpler! Whoever rolls the highest number wins! Best of three, fair and square!
“…Then, what if I lose?!” Weng Hani stared at Song Mengmeng in front of him and suddenly felt an urge to laugh.
Joining the gambling game with the Pixiu...
What's the difference between this and sending someone to their death from afar?!
The woman before me is the goddess of fortune! In this world, if she wants to, no one can possibly beat her when it comes to wealth!
Isn't this blatant bullying?!
"You lost, so give me your most valuable possession!" Song Mengmeng tilted her head, her smile widening, making the girl appear even more innocent and harmless: "Isn't that a great deal?!"
"Worth it? You know I have no chance of winning against you! So what's so worth it?!" Onghani knew perfectly well that it was impossible to escape now. He sneered and decided to just go all out and see if he could find a way out of this desperate situation.
"Why would you say that?! I've already admitted that you're the luckiest customer in this bar today! You clearly want so many things, and have such thoughts, but you lack the courage to take the plunge. No wonder you've lived so long and are still just an ordinary sorcerer!"
Song Mengmeng slowly played with the three dice in her hand, and after a long while, she slowly raised her head and looked at Weng Hani with a half-smile: "Didn't you want to tame me and make me your pet?!"
"With your timidity, you'll never gain our Pixiu's approval!"
