In his embrace, Chi Mu Jiu gently lifted her head, her gaze directed at the middle-aged man across from her. He was dressed in a well-fitted black outfit, his temples slightly graying, and his pair of aged eyes held a hint of sharpness.
Chi Mu Jiu thought to herself, no wonder Pei Si gave off a cunning vibe; he must have inherited it from his father. At that moment, Pei Jin's gaze slowly fell on Chi Mu Jiu as well. However, after merely sizing her up for a moment, he shifted his attention back to Du Heng Yan.
In the card room, aside from Pei Jin, he had also brought along two prominent figures in the underworld business. Du Heng Yan did not respond but gently placed the little one in his arms directly onto his lap.
Chi Mu Jiu felt a sudden panic, wondering if it was inappropriate for her to be so close to Du Heng Yan in such a setting. Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Du Heng Yan lean down slightly and whisper softly in her ear, "Don't move, be good."
Immediately, Chi Mu Jiu obediently nodded. The three middle-aged men across the table watched this scene unfold with some embarrassment. How was this different from what they had heard? When did the boss of the unified underground network get married?
One of them attempted an awkward laugh, "Boss Du, your relationship with your wife is truly remarkable." They all said that Boss Du was not interested in women; how did he suddenly acquire such an extraordinary Eastern beauty?
The woman had striking features and an outstanding demeanor; sitting next to Du Heng Yan, they exuded an indescribable harmony and beauty. But which family would dare to marry their daughter off to Du Heng Yan?
"Yes, indeed. I must thank Pei Si; if he hadn't brought my wife here from the country, I wouldn't have met her so soon," Du Heng Yan replied with a calm tone, though the coldness and hostility in his voice remained unmistakable.
Upon hearing this, Pei Jin suddenly realized what was happening. No wonder Du Heng Yan had captured his son; it turned out it was because that reckless child had kidnapped someone else's wife!
"Boss Du, is there some misunderstanding here? Let's not let the floodwaters wash away the Dragon King's temple; we are all family," Pei Jin hurriedly began to explain, trying to salvage the situation.
However, before he could finish his sentence, a series of sharp sounds echoed behind him—the unmistakable sound of bullets being chambered. The noise was jarring, and Pei Jin's words abruptly ceased.
"Pei Jin, your son is quite bold, but why don't you have that same courage as a father?"
Du Hengyan sneered coldly.
He placed the black gun on the table, its icy sheen glinting under the light. How dare they think they could swallow his power? It was simply foolish.
The other two were also frightened and flustered, their terrified gazes darting towards Pei Jin, silently asking what they should do. Pei Jin realized he had no way out; if he didn’t clarify his intentions soon, this living hell would truly bind all three of them.
"Boss Du, this matter is indeed my son's fault. The rules of the casino dictate that such matters should be settled at the gaming table, as long as you can let my son go," Pei Jin said through gritted teeth, forcing himself to speak.
A rule of the casino.
Du Hengyan's lips curled into a slight arc that sent chills down their spines. A wave of coldness and murderous intent bore down on Pei Jin and the others.
The atmosphere in the card room instantly became tense to the breaking point, as if a taut string could snap at any moment.
"Boss Du, we come with sincerity," the man on Pei Jin's right spoke up first, unable to sit still any longer.
"Yes, yes! We come with sincerity!" echoed the man on his left, his face pale and eyes filled with panic.
The two exchanged glances with Pei Jin, signaling him that they were merely mediators. If their lives were to be lost here, it would truly not be worth it! If it weren’t for the generous payment from Pei Jin, who would be foolish enough to step into Du Hengyan's domain?
Pei Jin let out a long sigh of helplessness, a resolute look flashing in his eyes. He knew there was no turning back now.
