“I know, but I’m used to being alone.”
“Okay… be careful on the way back. Thank you for coming to see my dad today.”
After that, Gao Ting jogged home.
Cheng Ling saw that the weather was good today. It was neither cold nor hot, and there was a refreshing wind. Thus, she didn’t choose to take a ride home. Instead, she put on her headphones and slowly followed the navigation home.
Cheng Ling’s life could be considered leisure, but Lu Qi and Lu Xiu in the east of the city were so busy that they did not have a meal for the whole day.
The Lu Corporation was mainly doing business. They opened hotels, restaurants, and invested in technology companies and real estate.
But they did very much more than these.
At the same time, they also produced arms and sold them to other countries.
They did this not only to pursue profits, but also to protect themselves.
The Lu family had many enemies in the country, both in the open and in the dark. They even had enemies all over the world.
After all, the Lu family was such a big piece of fat meat. Everyone wanted to eat it and keep it as their own.
Therefore, Lu Qi and Lu Xiu had been trying to rope in some foreign forces over the past few years. They could ask for help when there was an emergency.
They were going to sell the newly produced arms to the M Nation. The M Nation was their ally, but the conflict between the M Nation and the L Nation had a long history.
Therefore, when the arms of Lu Qi and Lu Xiu were transported to the M nation, they were detained by the L Nation for some reason.
Lu Qi and Lu Xiu had been on the run for this matter for the past week.
“We have to snatch back this batch of arms as soon as possible. If it falls into the hands of the L Nation, it will be a great help to them.”
Lu Qi and Lu Xiu had arranged to meet a contact from country L at Starlight Casino tonight.
As the saying went, the most dangerous place was the safest place. There were all kinds of people in a casino, so the few of them would not be too conspicuous here.
While Lu Qi and Lu Xiu were talking to the contact in the private room, the person who was gambling outside was Ding Shan.
Previously, Ding Shan took the 200,000 yuan from the Cheng family to pay off his debt.
He still had a debt of 100,000 yuan. He planned to pay it off after he won tonight.
A gambler’s standard psychological activity was that luck would turn around. A person’s luck couldn’t be that bad, right?
As for Lu Qi’s watch, it looked pretty, so he kept it for himself and was wearing it on his left hand.
“Open, open, open!”
A group of people in the casino were shouting excitedly. When they saw that the dice had been rolled to one, Ding Shan slapped the table angrily.
“You lost again. Do you know how to roll dice?”
Ding Shan vented his anger on the staff. He rolled up his sleeves angrily and continued to bet.
After losing three or four times in a row, Ding Shan became irritable. He shouted loudly in the casino, attracting the attention of many people.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the crowd, grabbed Ding Shan by his collar, and dragged him to the stairwell of the casino.
Throughout the whole process, Ding Shan screamed in fear.
He was worried that the creditors that he had paid back would settle the score with him.
“Big Brother, Big Brother! It’s only 100,000 yuan. I’ll pay it back tomorrow. Give me one more day, Big Brother.”
Before he could see who it was, he had already closed his eyes and put his hands together to beg for mercy.
Ding Shan’s terrified voice was trembling, and his legs were shaking. He almost peed his pants!
Seeing that the person who had grabbed him did not say anything, Ding Shan opened his eyes quietly and realized that the person in front of him was not his creditor at all.
The person in front of him was wearing a black suit and sunglasses.
What made Ding Shan even more puzzled was that this was a foreigner.
His hair was blonde and he had sharp facial features.
He was also wearing an earpiece on his ear. He looked like a spy from a movie.
This foreigner’s hand was still grabbing Ding Shan’s collar. Ding Shan struggled for a while but in vain.
“Who… Who are you?! Why are you looking for me?”
“Let go of me! If you don’t let go, I’ll call security!”
As if he could not stand Ding Shan’s clamor, the blond foreigner let go of him.
The moment Ding Shan escaped this shackle, he wanted to run to the door of the stairway.
However, the blond man was much faster than him. He closed the door in one go.
Ding Shan’s legs were weak. He slid down the door and sat on the ground.
The foreigner finally spoke.
Ding Shan was a little surprised because he spoke very fluent local language. He did not have a foreign accent at all.
“Where did you get this watch? Are you Lu Qi?”
Lu Qi? What Lu Qi?
Ding Shan heaved a sigh of relief. He had mistaken him for someone else!
He thought that he had offended some big shot.
