According to Qin Lei's description, I roughly pieced together the series of events that happened last night…
Yesterday afternoon, Sun Miao was not greedy. He continued to follow the betting mantra I taught him, observing the patterns of the slot machine and slowly placing bets to test it.
When the slot machine finally started paying out, Sun Miao's original plan was to cash out after winning.
But after that big jackpot hit, for some reason, some of the gamblers playing the machines nearby seemed to have conspired and all crowded around.
Several of them were even shouting and clamoring for Sun Miao to teach them how to win.
This sudden turn of events not only disrupted Sun Miao's original plan but also attracted the attention of the people managing the place.
As the situation escalated, Sun Miao was immediately detained by the security personnel, and his belongings and phone were confiscated.
As for what happened next, it was what I experienced before I lost consciousness…
Last night, after I passed out and Qin Lei and Sun Miao were subdued by Brother Tian Ji's men, a young man, thin and resembling a monkey, arrived in a timely manner.
Without guessing, I knew it was Cao Jie!
Because his nickname was Monkey.
Cao Jie, who arrived under the guise of a "friend," paid one hundred thousand yuan to Brother Tian Ji to get the three of us released.
After taking us out of the arcade, Cao Jie, citing my severe injuries requiring immediate medical attention, sent Qin Lei and Sun Miao away early.
After Qin Lei finished his description and Sun Miao corroborated it, I began to sort out some clues…
As it stands, without any evidence, the entire cause and effect of the incident seems to be as they described.
Although I wasn't sure if it was true, it immediately made me understand why I was outside the arcade when I woke up, and why Yu Shuang happened to be nearby!
Yu Shuang had Cao Jie rescue me from the arcade first, and then carelessly threw me at the entrance of the arcade. Not only was she mocking me as I had seen before, but she was also indirectly humiliating me! This was a "saving people to destroy their hearts" that was even more infuriating than killing someone to destroy their spirit! And such a thing had truly happened to me!
After tracing back the origin of everything in my mind, I suddenly realized why Yu Shuang was targeting me so much. It was likely that the entire incident stemmed from the private conversation between Yu Shuang and me in the office of the Huadu Casino. That time, I had made her look very disheveled! To win me over and make me trust her, Queen Bee Yu Shuang… had almost nakedly stood before me! I suppose that was one of the few embarrassing situations she had encountered in her life! The sting of a wasp is in its tail; the most venomous heart belongs to a woman! When we cooperated, seeing that I could accept and follow her commands and arrangements, Yu Shuang chose to endure for the sake of future benefits. But after the rift and the falling out, her series of retaliations began. The arcade incident was like this, and the previous evidence incident was the same! In short. Yu Shuang is a woman who holds grudges! The reason she chose to retaliate against me at this juncture was, firstly, to vent her personal anger. As for the second reason, perhaps it was to warn and remind me before Wang Yangming's birthday banquet, so that I wouldn't think of using the backup evidence behind her back to retaliate against Wang Yangming! Because it was incredibly easy for her to control me! It seemed that the backup evidence Yu Shuang generously gave me before was likely due to Helian Shan's influence. If I had gone to the appointment alone that time, I'm afraid the outcome…
After sorting out all the intricacies, the only question left for me now was. Catching her in the act!!! In the setup where Sun Miao was detained at the arcade, who among him and Qin Lei first harbored ill intentions, or had they long been in cahoots and colluded? Until the truth is found, everything they say can only be taken as reference information. If I cannot uncover the truth behind this incident and find the person with ulterior motives among those close to me, and eliminate them in time, then no matter where I go or what I do, I will not escape Yu Shuang's sharp eyes! Thinking of this, my brows furrowed instantly… Another interlocking deadlock!
"What's wrong, Brother Xiang?" Just as I was contemplating how to find the truth and escape the predicament, Qin Lei's seemingly concerned greeting suddenly sounded.
"Nothing!" Snapping back to reality, I shook my head directly.
"Uh… alright! Brother Xiang, what do you need us to do for you?" Seeing that I was unwilling to say more, Qin Lei went straight to the point. He knew that I would not let this matter rest.
Upon hearing this, after a slight pause, I revealed my revenge plan in detail. Of course, given that I was unsure which of Qin Lei and Sun Miao harbored ill intentions, my so-called "in detail" only referred to the tasks they each needed to perform. As for finding the mole through the revenge plan, and how to deal with Yu Shuang later, I didn't say a single word! They say trust is a double-edged sword, one side is true feelings, the other is harm. Once harmed, true feelings cease to exist. It seems to be true now! Because at this very moment, I no longer trusted Qin Lei, nor did I trust Sun Miao! Rather than not trusting, it's more like not daring to trust! Once bitten by a snake, one fears the well rope for ten years! I think from now on, any issue related to trust will likely be met with this suspicious and apprehensive demeanor of mine…
………………
After Qin Lei and Sun Miao left, I quickly took out my phone and called Helian Shan. Although I really didn't want to trouble Brother Shan, I had no choice. Currently, I… had no one to rely on! In the latter half of my plan, which I haven't mentioned to anyone, manpower will definitely be needed for the matter of catching her in the act. And it must be absolutely reliable manpower! Therefore, I could only trouble Brother Shan.
The call was answered after only two rings. Before I could even speak, I heard Helian Shan ask in a very lazy tone, "What's up, Xiangzi? Is there something?"
Hearing this, I didn't beat around the bush, but directly chuckled and said, "Yes, yes! Hehe… Brother Shan, I have a small matter that requires your help!"
After a silence of about 2-3 seconds, Helian Shan on the other end of the line replied directly, "Hmm… How about this, I plan to go out and rescue a lost woman later." "Why don't we meet at our usual spot at one in the afternoon to talk?"
