"That's right!"
After nodding heavily, I replied in a deep voice, "There are conditions!"
Seeing that I had responded, Xianyu immediately asked, "What conditions?"
"Guess?" I retorted.
It wasn't that I was deliberately playing hard to get with Xianyu, but the prerequisite for being a Feng Jiang was to have eyes everywhere and ears everywhere.
As a qualified Feng Jiang, one must possess certain judgment and analytical abilities, and absolutely not follow the crowd.
It was evident that Xianyu possessed these two abilities.
He immediately smiled and said, "Brother Xiang, you're a cheater. The condition for you to teach me cheater's skills must be related to gambling! Heh heh!"
Xianyu's answer satisfied me.
For a moment, I truly believed that Xianyu was indeed more suited to be a Feng Jiang.
Although a part of this was because my current team was desperately in need of a Feng Jiang.
But it was more because of the potential Xianyu had shown that made me feel Feng Jiang was the most suitable role for him.
As for whether I could uncover more unknown potential from Xianyu, I couldn't be sure yet.
Since Xianyu had guessed my intention, I no longer concealed it and nodded in agreement, "You guessed right, it's related to gambling!"
"Yu Xian, are you willing to be my Feng Jiang?"
When I asked the most crucial question, my expression and tone suddenly became very serious.
Upon hearing this, Xianyu's expression also subtly changed.
Although this change was very, very subtle, with my observation skills, there was absolutely no reason for me to misjudge!
Xianyu... had just sent pleading glances to Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun!
He should have been uncertain, or rather, unclear, about what the "Feng Jiang" I mentioned actually entailed.
The most important thing was that he was too embarrassed to ask.
It seemed that despite only hanging out with Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun for a day, Xianyu had gotten along well with them.
Interpersonal skills were also a must-have for a Feng Jiang.
Only by putting oneself in the shoes of the environment where intelligence exists could one better extract valuable information from people of all sorts.
"Uh... Feng Jiang! Heh heh..."
Smiling and scratching his head, Xianyu began to secretly formulate his response.
Seeing this, to avoid him feeling awkward, I explained the matter of the Eight Generals of the Cheating Sect one by one.
Just like the previous two times when I explained to Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun...
About ten minutes later.
After understanding the responsibilities of each of the Eight Generals of the Cheating Sect in detail, Xianyu's expression instantly became solemn.
Taking a deep breath, Xianyu said in a solemn tone, "Brother Xiang, I've long been sick of being a 'die ma zai' who has to read everyone's face!"
"I'm honored you think highly of me. From now on, I, Xianyu... will follow you!"
"Heh heh! There's no such thing as 'following'."
Shaking my head with a smile, I patted Xianyu's shoulder and said seriously, "The path of the Cheating Sect's Blue Way is not a forest formed by a single tree!"
"From now on, as long as Chen Xiang has something to eat, you three will have something to drink!"
"We'll do jobs together, and spend money together!"
Thus, Xianyu officially joined my small Cheating Sect team, becoming a Feng Jiang.
Next, in a series of events such as directly counter-attacking Yang Yuanyuan and secretly investigating Shen Mengqing, Xianyu will provide me with additional assistance!
Now, I am no longer that little cheater who could be easily manipulated by others without any ability to resist or fight back!
No matter who you are, if I don't provoke you, don't you dare blindly come and provoke me!
If you provoke me, then heh heh...
Then we'll go all out and fight!
The counter-attack begins now!
...
In the next day or two, on the surface, I was no different from usual. I still went to work, got off work, and occasionally went to the gambling dens to patrol and inspect.
During this period, although Yun Jin still hadn't shown up, I discovered a strange phenomenon.
I could feel that Shen Mengqing had been deliberately avoiding me in these two days.
Every time I saw Shen Mengqing, even if we both noticed each other's presence, she would always pretend to be busy.
Either she would be talking to a nearby waiter, or she would feign pulling out her phone as if to make a call.
As the saying goes: no gold is pure, no man is perfect.
Although Shen Mengqing was excellent and perfect in every aspect, even the most perfect woman... has flaws!
Don't misunderstand me! I'm not talking about that kind of flaw!
The flaw I'm talking about is her acting.
I have to say, Shen Mengqing's acting... is very, extremely, incredibly clumsy!
Whether it was unconsciously striking up a conversation with someone or putting on a show of pulling out her phone to make a call, her eyes would always drift towards me.
It was clear that she didn't dare to face me.
I knew exactly why Shen Mengqing dared not face me.
Either she was completely unaware of what Yang Yuanyuan had done to me before, and was only feeling guilty in secret for not being able to persuade the other party on my behalf.
Or, she was a complete insider and was already feeling guilty, fearing that the matter would be exposed and discovered by me.
These two possibilities, one good and one bad.
Honestly, I leaned more towards the latter.
No other reason! Once bitten by a snake, one fears the well rope for ten years.
Even if there was no evidence now that Shen Mengqing was an insider, I would rather think of the worst first.
Think of the worst, act for the best...
...
Three days after leaving Yang Yuanyuan's villa and returning to work at Ruichi.
As it was nearing the end of work, I took out my phone to contact Xianyu.
This kid Xianyu, he's truly amazing to me!
When I asked him to be a Feng Jiang before, I didn't expect him to resign from Ruichi.
After all, in the profession of the Eight Generals of the Cheating Sect, not everyone needs to be together all the time.
With too many eyes and ears, it was enough to simply meet briefly before a setup, and assign each person's role and task.
But unexpectedly, Xianyu said something about "loyalty not serving two masters" and resigned from Ruichi on the very day he agreed to be my Feng Jiang.
In fact, his staying at Ruichi was more useful than leaving!
If he stayed, at least it would be convenient for us to meet, and we wouldn't have to do it secretly.
After leaving, if we wanted to meet, we could only do so after work, and we couldn't be seen by anyone with ulterior motives!
Moreover, since I had been getting off work very late these past two nights, I couldn't bear to call him in the middle of the night.
Only today did I find the time.
But before I could even dial the number, a female server ran over and told me that Shen Mengqing wanted to see me and asked me to go directly to her office.
Since being called into the office for two consecutive days because of the Yang Yuanyuan incident, Shen Mengqing hadn't contacted me recently, and had been deliberately avoiding me.
Now, she suddenly called me to her office. What exactly did Shen Mengqing intend to do?
