In walked Ye Qi and the high-ranking official.
Upon seeing Ze Jin, the official's initial wariness faded somewhat. However, he knew he couldn't let his guard down completely; after all, the imposing man before him was a notorious figure in this territory.
"Boss Du, I've long admired your reputation," the official said.
Du Hengyan merely lifted his thin eyelids to glance at him before responding.
Ze Jin trembled with excitement at the sight of his father. "Thank you, Boss Du, for saving my son. I've arranged for a ten billion reward to be sent."
The official understood Du Hengyan's temperament and nature in the underworld, so he dared not show any displeasure at being ignored.
It was only when the official expressed gratitude that Du Hengyan spoke again. "It wasn't me who saved your son; it was merely my wife's kindness."
The official paused, taken aback. When did such a renowned figure in the underworld get married?
"This ten billion isn't a reward; it's compensation for my wife's losses."
"What do you mean?" The official looked at Du Hengyan with confusion.
"You should ask your self-righteous son about that."
As the ash from his cigarette fell, a chilling glint filled his deep-set eyes. Ze Jin kept his head bowed, too terrified to meet Du Hengyan's gaze. The man's hostility and murderous intent were overwhelming.
Seeing his son shivering and unable to speak, the official quickly grasped the situation. "Boss Du, please don't hold it against this clueless brat. I'll make sure the ten billion is treated as a contribution for you and your wife."
His words were smooth, but Du Hengyan remained unimpressed. "No need. Even if you offered me a thousand billion, it wouldn't compare to what my wife wins in a single game. Just manage your own people."
"Thank you, Boss Du!"
The high-ranking official understood the implications of the words spoken. Du Hengyan clearly did not wish to engage with him. After all, how could such a powerful figure stoop to converse with someone like him? Even though he held a high position, he felt unworthy of collaborating with this prominent individual.
"I told you, no need to thank me. Everything is due to my wife's kindness. Without her, you would have been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks long ago."
"Please leave," Du Hengyan declared, signaling the end of the meeting. The official, disregarding his son's injuries, hurriedly supported him and rushed out of the reception room.
"Boss, why are you smoking now that the lady isn't here?" Ye Qi teased, noticing the cigarette in Du Hengyan's hand. "Thinking about your wife makes you want to calm down with a smoke?"
Du Hengyan shot him a glance and replied sulkily, "Didn’t you send Ning Chen and Jin Su with her? Why are you still worried?"
"That's not your wife; why would I worry about my own wife?" Ye Qi retorted. "Why are you so chatty today? Did your little girlfriend leave and you're feeling happy?"
"Oh, so we're airing each other's dirty laundry now?" Ye Qi felt a pang in his heart.
"It's not a little girlfriend; I haven't even won her over yet."
"Oh, then you need to speed things up. Learn from me."
"Learn what? How to seduce someone?"
"Who told you that?"
Du Hengyan's face darkened at the implication.
"The brothers in the gambling area have been spreading rumors; I’ve heard a bit."
"Well, great. Just great."
I can't lift my head anymore.
Gather all the gossiping brothers and bring them over; I want to see if Jin Su's torture device is really that effective!
What are you standing there for? Hurry up!
Yes, boss!
Ye Qi turned and ran off, leaving Du Hang standing alone, the frown on his face deepening with each passing moment.
Today, I must teach these guys a good lesson; they've become increasingly unruly lately!
That's right! Drag them all out to feed the wolves!
