Chapter 35

Spy

Days later, William Hill’s arm injury healed quickly . Da Tu Li fulfilled her end of the bargain in exchange for Yue Gu Zai releasing Da Fu Li . Bob renegotiated the contract terms for it to be favorable for Ni Sheng . Yue Gu Zai agreed to sign the amended contract .

On the settlement day, Yue Gu Zai, his gang members and Zhen Zhen met Bob at the casino .

In a VIP room in the casino, Yue Gu Zai and Bob signed the amended contract .

‘Mr Phil, I hope our collaboration will be successful,’ Bob said .

Bob signalled Tina to escort Yue Gu Zai outside .

‘Mr Phil, I’ll escort your team outside,’ Tina said .

Suddenly an explosion was heard outside the VIP room, and the doors and the windows in VIP room were automatically locked .

‘Put your guns away,’ Bob said to his guards .

‘Open the door,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

‘Not possible,’ Tina said . ‘The doors are programmed to lock when there is an emergency situation . ’

‘Where’s the master computer in this room?’ Cheng Yi asked .

‘It’s concealed behind the wall over there,’ Tina said .

Tina was scared for her life . She also resented why it was Zhen Zhen who Yue Gu Zai was hugging protectively in his arms instead of her .

‘There needs to be two people to input the code and disable the doors safely,’ Tina said . ‘But our in house programmers are absent today . ’

Everyone in Bob’s camp were scared they would die that day .

‘Let me take a look,’ Zhen Zhen said .

Cheng Yi’s eyes lit up hope . He had forgotten Zhen Zhen was a genius, and a better programmer than he was .

‘The master computer isn’t a toy for you to play with,’ Tina said condescendingly to Zhen Zhen . ‘If the two programmers code out of sync for more than three seconds then the doors will automatically explode . Do you want all of us to be buried together?’

Everyone in Bob’s camp underestimated Zhen Zhen . They thought she was only Yue Gu Zai’s trophy wife .

‘Mr Phil, does your wife know anything about programming?’ Bob asked .

Yue Gu Zai believed Zhen Zhen and Cheng Yi could save them . But he was angry at everyone from Bob’s side for looking down on Zhen Zhen .

‘If you have someone else here to input the code with Cheng Yi then ask them to do it,’ Zhen Zhen said .

The room was silent . Everyone accepted Zhen Zhen and Cheng Yi were their last hope of escaping alive .

Zhen Zhen and Cheng Yi stood in front of the master computer .

‘One, two, three…’ Zhen Zhen said .

Zhen Zhen and Cheng Yi used their ten fingers to input the code together .

Everyone else held their breath . Within a minute the doors opened .

‘Run!’ Yue Gu Zai said .

Tina ran behind Yue Gu Zai who ran while holding Zhen Zhen’s hand . Tina was both shocked and jealous of Zhen Zhen’s skills .

The VIP room behind everyone exploded .

‘Run this way,’ Huyen Di said .

Everyone followed the escape route Huyen Di pointed to .

Zhen Zhen silently cried . She couldn’t see through the thick smoke . She held onto Yue Gu Zai’s hand, and ran with him .

When everyone escaped outside, no one cared about who was their boss and randomly jumped into the cars they prepared for an emergency escape .

Yue Gu Zai, Zhen Zhen, Bob and Tina jumped into the car that Chu Gian was waiting in the driver’s seat . Chu Gian stepped on the accelerator and sped away from the casino .

‘F’k, there are unmarked cars behind us shooting at us,’ Chu Gian said .

‘Chu Dian, swap seats with me,’ Zhen Zhen said .

‘This isn’t a toy car,’ Tina said .

Zhen Zhen and Chu Dian dismissed Tina’s words, and they switched seats .

Zhen Zhen sped faster, and Chu Dian shot the tyres of the unmarked cars behind them .

‘Shut your mouth,’ Zhen Zhen said to Tina .

Tina couldn’t do anything except shut her mouth, and let Zhen Zhen drive .

Zhen Zhen sped enough to scare the passengers in the car . Soon no gun shots were heard . She stopped the car when they were out of the CBD, and she felt her back covered in sweat .
