Three days later, at noon, carrying two hundred thousand yuan in cash, I contacted Sun Jingjing to arrange the transaction.
It was at the same specialty small restaurant called "Dream Come True."
Dream Come True, realizing dreams.
I hope this time... it can fulfill my dream!
When I saw Sun Jingjing again, I noticed that the usual indifference on the face of this money-worshipping woman had faded a bit, replaced by an indescribable excitement.
However, upon seeing me appear with the bag, Sun Jingjing instantly concealed the excitement that had surfaced on her face.
After sitting down, without any unnecessary pleasantries, we got straight to the point.
After taking the black bag containing two hundred thousand yuan in cash that I handed over, and simultaneously giving me the photos and the phone, Sun Jingjing, uncharacteristically, offered a reminder.
"To be clear, I have no backups of any of this. This is the only copy!"
"If you don't plan to expose the contents immediately, then I suggest you keep it very safe!"
"If you lose it, your two hundred thousand yuan... will have gone down the drain!"
"Alright. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now! I've already paid for this meal. You can eat to your heart's content."
"Oh, right. I wish you success and the fulfillment of your revenge!"
With that, Sun Jingjing swayed her ample hips and left with an air of calm composure.
Although Sun Jingjing acted composed, I could still see a hint of barely suppressed exhilaration and excitement in her eyes.
Exchanging a few photos and a video of about three minutes for two hundred thousand yuan in cash – such a profitable endeavor, no one could truly remain calm!
Of course, what Sun Jingjing held was indeed worth the price.
As she had said three days prior, high-risk endeavors are always accompanied by exceptionally high returns.
If Sun Jingjing had approached Wang Yangming's direct competitors instead of me from the beginning, the price of two hundred thousand yuan would likely have doubled!
Therefore, she had every reason to feel exhilarated and excited.
...
After confirming the photos and video were indeed correct, with the evidence in hand... my desire to kill surged!
At the same time, a flame of revenge instantly ignited in my chest!
Thinking back to that night six years ago, the pain of having no home to return to, the helpless tears shed at my mother's grave...
As the fire of revenge burned fiercely, all the past events flashed before my eyes like a slideshow.
After safely storing the hard-won evidence, I slowly regained my composure.
Then, a strange sensation suddenly filled my nostrils.
My right hand, holding the chopsticks to pick up food, paused in mid-air without warning. The next second, I suddenly put down my chopsticks and slumped onto the table.
Fortunately, just as tears were about to well up in my eyes, I managed to lean down in time, avoiding any embarrassment in front of the surrounding people.
Do not advise kindness without having experienced the hardship yourself.
No one, except myself, could truly understand the driving force that had sustained me all these years.
For the sake of revenge, I had gambled everything, abandoning my middle school entrance exams, risking my future and destiny!
From the moment I decided to become a gambler, it was destined that I could only pick flowers amidst a field of thorns.
This was a path that appeared glamorous but was, in reality, a dark alley fraught with constant danger and peril.
Relying on an infinite dedication to victory and belief, walking this dark path, I had finally welcomed the first ray of dawn!
For me, this ray of dawn not only illuminated the path ahead but also warmed my heart!
After a while, my heart finally calmed down completely. kanδん
I knew that from the moment I obtained the evidence, what I would face next would be a storm, even a tempest!
Even with ironclad proof in hand, I would need to find the right opportunity to detonate it, then wait for it to ferment slowly until its full power erupted!
And during this process, until Wang Yangming was completely brought down, I would need to cautiously guard against him and his desperate retaliation.
Besides that, I also had to keep it from Yu Shuang.
Although she also had a grudge against Wang Yangming and was an ally on my side, businessmen are driven by profit.
Until she obtained definite and maximized benefits, she would not easily choose to draw her sword and strike, unlike me.
If one does not act for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy them!
From the moment Yu Shuang provided the information she considered erroneous, intending to mislead and delay me, the agreement and consensus between us... became automatically void!
Therefore, I had to guard and conceal simultaneously.
After finishing this lunch that cost two hundred thousand yuan, I quickly got up from my seat and took a taxi back to the hotel.
Upon returning to the hotel, the first thing I did was hide both the photos and the phone in the backpack containing my change of clothes.
This important evidence, I had originally intended to carry on my person, but after the incident with the "Thousand-Walking Group," I abandoned that idea.
Two fists are no match for four hands! Especially when the opponent has eight hands!
After packing my things, I removed the SIM card, went downstairs, and prepared to check out.
Since the incident with the Thousand-Walking Group, I had been frequently changing my accommodation locations during this period.
Whether it was a guesthouse or a hotel, I would not stay in the same place for more than three days.
As soon as the third day arrived, I would definitely leave.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows!
I thought I had completely escaped the Thousand-Walking Group and Yu Shuang and her associates.
But what I didn't expect was that as soon as I stepped out of the hotel and prepared to leave with my bag...
A teenager wearing a hooded sweatshirt and carrying a backpack walked quickly past me.
Just as we were about to brush past each other, the boy's hand, like a swift cloud and lightning, directly touched me.
I had already experienced this move when I first encountered Leng Meng.
Therefore, the moment the boy made his move, I instantly reached out and interrupted him.
With the lesson from the Leng Meng incident still fresh in my mind, after catching him red-handed, I didn't make things difficult for the boy, merely giving him a cold glare.
Seeing this, the boy gave an awkward smile, said "excuse me," and quickly disappeared from my sight with his backpack.
At first, I didn't pay much attention to this scene.
Because in this small county town in '08, such blatant pickpocketing was commonplace.
Especially in places like bus stations and urban areas with crowded eyes and mixed crowds.
At the entrances of guesthouses and hotels, there would always be a few idle people hanging around the vicinity.
Moreover, that boy hadn't suddenly appeared out of nowhere today.
When I had moved to this hotel previously, I had already seen him wandering back and forth on this street.
It was clear that he was a member of the Rong Men, making a living in this area.
Furthermore, I had already been subtly wary of him when leaving the hotel earlier. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
So, almost instinctively, I had taken the boy to be a pickpocket.
However, when I looked down, I discovered that the bag I was carrying had been cut with a fine and long slit by him!
