The moment the phone was connected, I heard Shen Mengqing ask in a very serious and icy tone, "Where are you?"
Although Shen Mengqing had turned against me midway due to Yang Yuanyuan's matter, this was a personal grievance unrelated to work.
Therefore, I did not hide my new address from Shen Mengqing and told her directly.
"Twenty minutes from now, wait for me at the entrance!"
After saying this, Shen Mengqing hung up the phone.
After the call, my sleepiness gradually faded.
I changed my clothes, got up, washed up briefly, grabbed a bag of bread and milk I had just bought at the supermarket last night, and went downstairs ahead of time.
As an old gambler, it is better to wait for others than to have others wait for you.
This is because when you choose to wait for someone, the initiative is entirely in your hands.
If the person who arrives has malicious intentions, you can discover it in advance and make a timely decision.
Therefore, when I am out, as long as I have enough time, I maintain this habit very well.
Not long after, a black Porsche sports car slowly drove towards me.
Shen Mengqing did not turn off the engine and get out of the car. Instead, she rolled down the passenger window and looked at me coldly, saying, "Get in!"
Seeing that she was still facing me with a cold expression, I directly replied, "Let's talk about it here!"
Women are the strangest species, and there are no exceptions!
She didn't provoke me at all, yet she acted as if I owed her tens of millions! Of course, I had no reason and would not indulge her!
Seeing that I was not moving, Shen Mengqing frowned and said, "It's not me who needs you, it's Aunt Jin who needs you! Hurry up and get in! It's an urgent matter!"
Upon hearing this, I immediately reacted.
Yun Jin had probably already found out about Uncle Tuo's death. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked her confidante Shen Mengqing to come find me as soon as she returned without doing anything else.
And if nothing unexpected happened, she likely knew something about me!
The evidence for this came from Shen Mengqing's attitude towards me now.
It seemed that before she could test Yun Jin's attitude towards the Thousand King's Order, my identity... might be exposed!
There was no escaping it.
Moreover, I couldn't escape it.
Because the Thousand King's Order was in Yun Jin's hands!
Thinking of this, without any further hesitation or pause, I directly opened the door, got in, and sat in the car.
Seeing me get into the car, Shen Mengqing didn't say a word, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away at lightning speed...
As it was still very early, Shen Mengqing did not take me to the gambling house but to a teahouse called "Jin Chun."
To my surprise, in addition to Shen Mengqing, Yun Jin was accompanied by a middle-aged man with a buzz cut.
The middle-aged man standing outside the private room door was clearly a bodyguard hired by Yun Jin.
The middle-aged man looked very thin, like Cheng Minglang, appearing frail and weak. However...
The scar on his face, running from his forehead to his upper lip, seemed to be a warning to me... never to underestimate him!
The scar-faced man standing at the door did not enter with Shen Mengqing and me.
It was obvious that he was guarding against me!
Thinking of this, my brows involuntarily furrowed.
After entering the room, Yun Jin's reaction confirmed my previous thoughts.
Unlike before, although Yun Jin was no longer distant when she saw me, her eyes... had become even more indifferent!
As soon as I entered the private room and sat down, I saw Yun Jin point at me with her finger and ask coldly, "Chen Xiang, who exactly are you!?"
The moment I heard this, I immediately realized that Yun Jin had likely conducted a secret investigation into me.
She didn't investigate earlier or later, but chose to investigate me after getting news about Uncle Tuo.
Without even needing to guess, I knew that Yun Jin was probably starting to suspect me!
Before I could figure out Yun Jin's clear attitude, I naturally wouldn't reveal myself to her.
So, I pretended to be angry and retorted, "Boss, what do you mean?"
"Heh heh!" Yun Jin chuckled coldly and replied in a deep voice, "You ask me what I mean, but I haven't asked you what you mean yet?"
"You were working well at the club before, why did you jump to work at Rui Chi? Who are you? What are you plotting by mixing in Rui Chi!?"
Up to this point, although Yun Jin had not mentioned anything about Uncle Tuo's whereabouts, from her questioning tone, I could say with certainty...
Yun Jin not only knew about Uncle Tuo's death but also immediately questioned my identity, suspecting and speculating about my purpose in coming to Rui Chi!
As expected of someone who could be Uncle Tuo's deputy, Yun Jin's scheming was top-notch!
Thinking back carefully, since I officially appeared in Zhejiang Province, whether it was in Xingjia or Wenzhou, or in clubs or casinos...
I had never mentioned anything about my identity or background to anyone.
Moreover, the reason I was able to reach this point step by step was not only due to the prior planning and calculations that played a role...
But often, it was also because my outstanding performance in some unexpected situations propelled me forward in a unique way.
Especially the two gambling matches with Xiang Tianhua and Luo Qiweng, which almost cost me my life!
I believed that Yun Jin could see all these things, and she shouldn't have no trust in me!
But now, she suspected my purpose in coming to Rui Chi, there must be something wrong!
Either Yun Jin had truly found something out.
Or, someone had reported me.
Putting aside the first possibility for now, apart from Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun, Xianyu and Xu Peiyu might have done it.
This was because both of them were originally people from Yun Jin's circle, but I had poached them later.
Could it be that one of them had been Yun Jin's person all along?
Upon careful consideration, it seemed unlikely.
After recruiting Xianyu and Xu Peiyu, I did not involve them in any core actions.
Firstly, these two had no work, and if anything happened, they wouldn't even be able to protect themselves.
Secondly, I was testing them, and revealing myself at this time would be meaningless and yield no results.
Reporting me would be far less beneficial than continuing to lie low by my side!
Thinking of this, and unable to figure out the mystery behind it...
With the intention of completely muddying the waters, I coldly questioned, "Boss, you were not here before, and when something happened at the club, I was the first to step forward and face the danger. Now that the danger is over, are you planning to discard me like an old shoe?"
