In the seemingly calm yet tumultuous atmosphere, Chi Mu Jiu's heart surged like a raging tide.
Pei Jin was a thoroughgoing villain! This realization sent chills down her spine. What about Du Heng Yan? By agreeing to Pei Jin's terms, did it not mean he was also entangled with the villain?!
Once this terrifying thought emerged, it spread wildly in her mind like weeds. Did that mean she was currently trapped in a den of villains?! Chi Mu Jiu felt as if a bomb had exploded in her head; the joy of just winning the gamble crumbled in an instant. She found herself engulfed in panic and confusion.
What was she even thinking?
Du Heng Yan's voice broke through her thoughts. Noticing that Chi Mu Jiu stood frozen, staring blankly at him, he realized that this little one was lost in her own thoughts again.
"You—"
Chi Mu Jiu was about to ask, but Du Heng Yan interrupted her, "We can talk later; there are too many people here." His voice was low, as if he understood what she wanted to ask, but the current situation was not the right time for such questions.
Listening to him, Chi Mu Jiu still felt a myriad of doubts and unease swirling in her heart, yet she obediently closed her mouth. However, her slightly stiff movements and expressions did not escape Du Heng Yan's keen eyes.
"Boss Du, you can send someone to collect the goods and weapons right away. I've already paid every bit of this billion. May I ask if you can release my son now?"
Pei Jin was now frantic, unable to maintain his previous facade. His voice trembled slightly, his eyes revealing urgency and longing. To get his son back, he had paid a hefty price and agreed to all conditions without hesitation; all he wanted now was to leave this hellish place with his son as soon as possible.
However, in response to Pei Jin's earnest plea, Du Heng Yan merely glanced at him indifferently and replied casually, "As long as I see the goods and confirm there are no issues, you will naturally be able to leave here safely."
Then he added leisurely, "But before that, I ask everyone to remain patient."
His tone was calm, yet it carried an air of hidden danger.
Pei Jin and the others were momentarily stunned, but by the time they reacted, Du Hengyan's subordinates had already seized Pei Jin and his companions with a ghostly swiftness.
A mere few thousand mercenaries dared to act as a bargaining chip against me; people these days are becoming increasingly foolish.
The corners of Du Hengyan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer.
We will settle our accounts one by one, Pei Jin!
His voice was cold and resolute, like a pronouncement from hell.
The scene mirrored that of when they had captured Pei Si; dozens of guns were simultaneously aimed at Pei Jin and his two companions, the icy muzzles resembling the eyes of death, sending chills down their spines.
The entire space was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, and Pei Jin's face turned pale in an instant.
What do you mean by this, Boss Du?! Are you really trying to pull a black-on-black operation?!
Pei Jin's eyes widened in disbelief, and before he could finish speaking, he saw that Du Hengyan completely ignored him. Instead, he picked up Chi Mu Jiu effortlessly, his tall figure rising like an imposing mountain that could not be overlooked.
He placed the beauty in his arms onto the card table with the utmost gentleness and then ruffled Chi Mu Jiu's hair, seemingly conveying a silent message to her not to worry.
A black-on-black operation? It’s not that serious; I merely wish to seek justice for my brother.
Du Hengyan's words were chilling to the bone, his eyes dark and deep like a bottomless abyss, flickering with a heart-stopping cold light that seemed capable of freezing one's soul.
Every gaze was like a razor-sharp blade, piercing directly into the depths of one's heart.
