Chapter 35

Update Time: March 25, 2013

Duan Fei, a man over 1.8 meters tall, bent over at the entrance of the K8 Nightclub in Tiancheng, his former air of a gang leader completely gone. His face was pale as he looked at the man sitting in the boss's chair.

"Dafei, still can't find that Wang Jun?" Xiao Fei asked.

Duan Fei shook his head dejectedly. "Can't find him. The car he rented, the ID was fake. No useful information at all. It's like this guy just popped out of a rock! I can confirm, this guy is a desperate man. His methods were extremely ruthless. I've seen the injuries of those people; it will take them at least a month to recover. The most seriously injured, Zhao Xing, has a broken left foot, severe concussion, three broken fingers on his left hand, and two fractured fingers. His right hand is a bit better, but two fingers are still a bloody mess."

Talking about Zhao Xing's injuries, even with Duan Fei's experience, he felt a chill. This wasn't about killing; it was about torturing. He thought he understood what "Wang Jun" meant: he had overstepped his bounds.

But he really couldn't figure out when he had offended this person. Could it be one of the gambling customers who was robbed?

"So, no leads at all? Our casino lost over twenty million, and our reputation is now in question?" Xiao Fei's voice was calm, but to Duan Fei, it sounded like thunder.

"Boss, I really didn't expect that guy to be a liar. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken him to the VIP room," Duan Fei said.

Xiao Fei laughed coldly. "A liar? Duan Fei, don't think just because your name has a 'Fei' in it, this casino is yours. You have some nerve, daring to rob a gambling customer. If he had fallen into someone else's hands, my golden reputation would be ruined. Can you afford this loss?"

Duan Fei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Boss Xiao, I know it was my mistake. I was blinded by greed. Please forgive me."

Don't look at Duan Fei, who usually acts like a big shot. In front of Xiao Fei, he was like a孙子 (grandson). His current status was all due to Xiao Fei's support. Without Xiao Fei, he was nothing.

"You don't need to worry about the casino or the nightclub anymore," Xiao Fei said.

"Boss?" Duan Fei's face fell.

"Don't argue. This isn't just my decision. Who would have thought your weakness would fall into their hands?" Xiao Fei waved his hand.

Duan Fei asked nervously, "Boss, what should I do?"

"I have some business to handle in the capital. You go and find a place to stay," Xiao Fei said.

"The capital?" Duan Fei looked at Xiao Fei in confusion.

As Xiao Fei's right-hand man, he knew about Xiao Fei's company. The main way Xiao Fei's real estate company made money wasn't through property development but through insider trading, obtaining land development rights from the government at low prices and then reselling them at high prices. Wang Yunlai might be a big shot in Tiancheng, but in the capital, any random person's connections would be more powerful. That's why Xiao Fei had always stayed in Tiancheng. Why did he think of going to the capital now?

"Boss, just tell me what to do," Duan Fei said, realizing he wasn't being abandoned. As long as he was still useful, he was fine. He knew what kind of person Xiao Fei was. If he was no longer useful, his fate would be terrible. Without Xiao Fei's support, he couldn't even escape Tiancheng. He had done too many despicable things over the years, and there were many people who wanted him dead.

"I have a jewelry store in the capital, dealing in jade. This business is very profitable, not as small as real estate. You will be in charge of procurement," Xiao Fei said.

Duan Fei worried, "Boss, but I don't know anything about jade!"

"Nonsense, neither do I. There are experts in the store. Just follow their advice. Dafei, I'm sending you to watch the money. The boss I'm partnering with has significant influence at the border and is a ruthless person. I'm afraid others might be swallowed whole. This is your last chance. If you fail again, don't come back," Xiao Fei said.

Duan Fei nodded quickly in agreement.

After Xiao Fei left, Duan Fei kicked the sofa in anger. Damn it, what a joke, not a chance, just being exiled. Everyone knows your base is in Tiancheng. How can we survive in the capital with just us?

Knowing it was a disguised exile, Duan Fei had no good options.

The door knocked, and Duan Fei straightened his clothes and called, "Come in."

Nie Xinyi walked in with a smile. Seeing her, Duan Fei cursed her in his heart. It was because of her that he was in this situation.

"Manager Duan, I'm sorry, but from today on, this office belongs to me. Don't leave any personal items behind," Nie Xinyi said with a smile.

Duan Fei almost spat blood in anger. Nie Xinyi was kicking him while he was down.

"No need! I'm not a rookie. What I lost today, I'll take back tomorrow," Duan Fei said coldly and walked out without looking back.

Nie Xinyi laughed a few times. "Manager Duan, I have some news that you might find interesting."

Duan Fei had already grabbed the doorknob. Hearing Nie Xinyi, he paused and turned back, looking at her smugly. "What news? Why would I be interested?"

"It's about Wang Jun. Do you want to know?" Nie Xinyi asked with a smile.

Duan Fei's face turned grim. "What do you want?"

"Nothing much. The casino has some VIP customers, all personally served by Manager Duan. I believe if they know you're leaving, they will follow," Nie Xinyi said.

Duan Fei took a deep breath. "Fine, I'll give them to you. Speak."

Nie Xinyi smiled. "I have some friends in the bank. I just got the news that the check you issued yesterday was deposited into an account!"

"What? He dared to deposit the money!" Duan Fei exclaimed.

He had thought Wang Jun wouldn't cash the check, as it would easily reveal his location.

"Indeed. According to the information, the transaction was processed in the capital," Nie Xinyi said.

She felt no guilt about betraying Zhang Yang. After hearing Hei's description, Nie Xinyi had become wary of Zhang Yang. He was a very dangerous man, and it was better to let Duan Fei deal with him. If Wang Jun found the casino again, she would be the one in trouble. This was a two-birds-with-one-stone plan. She could get the VIP customer list from Duan Fei and eliminate the threat of "Wang Jun." Why not?

"Capital! Good, good, good!" Duan Fei said through gritted teeth.

After Duan Fei left, Nie Xinyi sat in the boss's chair, feeling very pleased. Suddenly, she thought of Zhang Yang's emotionless eyes and shivered involuntarily. She had a sudden premonition that she would see this mysterious man again. The premonition came and went quickly, and she soon immersed herself in the joy of her success.

After dismissing Liu Man and others, Zhang Yang went to the bank to cash the check. He was afraid it would become invalid if he waited too long. With over twenty million, he couldn't afford to take any risks. After transferring the money to a new account, he left the bank, feeling satisfied.

If he had heard Nie Xinyi's words, he would have been shocked. It was less than ten minutes since he had cashed the check, showing how deep her network of connections was!

Yesterday's revenge was a complete success. It made the gambling customers doubt the casino's credibility and successfully punished those who had attacked him. The only regret was that Duan Fei hadn't come personally, missing a chance for revenge.

But the over twenty million was a pleasant surprise. With this money, and after selling the gold, he would have the capital to do many things. He drove back to the neighborhood and parked in the underground garage.

Zhang Yang locked the car and walked toward the stairs. Just before turning the corner, he stopped. There were strange sounds in the stairwell, and he heard what sounded like rapid breathing.

Zhang Yang immediately became alert. Could it be Duan Fei? No, his plan was foolproof. Even if they found a lead, they couldn't find him so quickly. Was it a robbery? He looked around for something to use as a weapon.

Behind the stairs, a group of men and women were lying in wait, holding various weapons, anxiously waiting.

Yang Yi was getting anxious. What was wrong with this guy? She had clearly seen him get out of the car, but he hadn't come over yet.
