"Sis, you mean Chen Xiang is very likely Lu Mingtai's disciple!?"
"The one who fought against many alone in the Gambling King competition and almost won, but was betrayed by his subordinates, losing a great situation..."
"And was eventually had three fingers chopped off, a leg broken, and subsequently withdrew from the martial world, revered by the gamblers as the uncrowned king, Lu Mingtai!?"
Shi Jianguo was not just surprised, but his eyes also showed an extremely deep, disbelieving look.
"That's right!"
After taking a sip of wine from his cup, Yu Shuang opened her lips slightly, looking at the darkening sky outside the window, her eyes filled with memory. "Ever since Lu Mingtai rescued me, I've been trying to find news of him all these years..."
"I'm sure... Lu Mingtai is hiding in Anhai, hiding in Liangshan Town!"
Hearing this, Shi Jianguo asked in confusion, "Even if Lu Mingtai is hiding in Liangshan Town, it's not enough to prove that Chen Xiang is his disciple, is it?"
At this moment, looking at the slightly dim night view outside the window, Yu Shuang's heart was incredibly bright. She chuckled, "Don't forget, Liangshan Town is just that small!"
"If it weren't for a top-tier gambler personally guiding and training him, how could a newcomer to the martial world, who is also inexperienced and naive in the gambling world, perform a perfect shuffle that integrates ordinary techniques?!"
"And that 'Star Plucking,' which is nicknamed the 'Gold Splitting Hand' by a group of gamblers?!"
"Even if there's a saying about extraordinary talent, these two shuffling and cutting skills cannot be mastered just by fumbling around on your own."
"So, I can guarantee it! Even if Chen Xiang isn't Lu Mingtai's disciple, he must have an inseparable connection with him!"
"Because there are only so many gamblers making a living in Liangshan Town!"
Seeing Shi Jianguo stunned and not responding, Yu Shuang suddenly stood up, leaned against the window behind her, and said coldly, "Although I can't get clear information about Lu Mingtai, as long as I can win Chen Xiang over, I have plenty of ways to pry information out of him!"
"This is why I'm going all out to win Chen Xiang over."
"Because from the very beginning, I came for Lu Mingtai!"
"Only Lu Mingtai has the ability to help me uncover the truth of what happened back then and help me clear all obstacles in the gambling world!"
"..."
Shi Jianguo didn't speak, he just looked up at Yu Shuang, but a subtle flicker of unease flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Ignoring Shi Jianguo's subtle expression and reaction, Yu Shuang continued to speak to herself, "From the moment I was inexplicably driven out of my home..."
"I swore in secret that one day, I would personally unravel all these mysteries, then return to the Yu family and reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to me!!!"
"I've never hidden this from you all along."
"So, no matter how I appear to outsiders, you just need to remember one thing!"
"Only those who can enter this office are qualified to hear my true thoughts, Yu Shuang!"
"Also! Little Shi, don't think too highly of others, and don't think too little of yourself!"
"No matter how much I admire Chen Xiang, the real purpose behind it is merely to use him as a stepping stone to get close to Lu Mingtai."
"Only you few are my confidantes!"
Hearing this, Shi Jianguo was first stunned, then gave an embarrassed laugh.
Seeing Shi Jianguo's expression return to normal, Yu Shuang lowered her head slightly, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes...
...
As two flowers bloom, each tells its own story.
While Yu Shuang and Shi Jianguo were having a private conversation, in a small alleyway on Tongxin Road, less than three kilometers from the Baole Chess and Card Room.
While making a desperate escape, the two decks of playing cards that were hidden close to my body were thrown out one by one.
In the dimly lit alleyway, playing cards with different patterns of "Bin Wang" and "Fishing" spun through the night sky, heading straight for Old Wu behind me.
The effect of throwing playing cards in reality is not as fancy and exaggerated as depicted in movies.
Things like flying cards cutting off hands or sealing throats are all fake!
Although they can cause harm, they are far from fatal. At best, they can only cause scratches or abrasions.
Of course, the reason I did this was not to harm Old Wu. It was to use these intermittent flying cards to disrupt his pursuit rhythm.
"Damn it! You dare to play tricks?!"
"I guarantee... I'll chop off all your fingers later!!!"
After my face was scratched by a Spade 2, drawing blood, Old Wu went completely berserk, letting out a hysterical roar. wΑp.kanshuWu.net
In an instant, Old Wu's speed increased by several notches.
Seeing the flashing, cold-gleaming saber raised high behind me and constantly approaching, at this moment, after running at full speed for about seven or eight minutes, I felt like I was on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, even though I was physically and mentally exhausted, I dared not slacken my pace in the slightest.
Gritting my teeth fiercely, in the winding alley, I accelerated again, widening the distance between myself and Old Wu slightly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I ran out of the alley, I was forced to stop by a glaring car headlight.
"It's over!!!"
At this moment of being trapped in a desperate situation, a strange sense of desolation suddenly arose in my heart.
To die before I could even get revenge?
Although there might not be a life-threatening danger, having my fingers chopped off would mean having my hope of revenge chopped off!
Seeing Old Wu's figure with the saber raised higher and higher, illuminated by the blindingly bright car headlights, I, in utter despair, was about to give up resistance and accept my fate on the spot...
"Get in the car quickly!!!"
A cold, clear voice echoed in my ears like heavenly dew.
Seeing this, I immediately came back to my senses and rushed over without hesitation!
From opening the door to getting in, it was all done in one smooth motion!
With a bang, as Old Wu's saber struck the rear car window, Leng Meng, who was driving, stepped on the accelerator and sped away!
One second! It was truly just one second!
If my door opening and closing actions were even a second slower, then Old Wu's saber strike would not have hit the car window!
...
Just as Leng Meng descended like a divine soldier and brought me back from the brink of death, three black Passats stopped in unison at the intersection of Tongxin Road.
As soon as the cars were turned off, the doors of all three Passats opened from the inside.
Cao Jie, leading a group of people, arrived late.
At this moment, Old Wu, who was still full of anger, instantly became submissive, turned around, and rushed into the alley, quickly disappearing into the long night.
Staring blankly at the scene before him, it took Cao Jie a while to regain his senses. He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Yu Shuang's number.
As soon as the call connected, Cao Jie said urgently, "Sister Shuang, Chen Xiang he..."
