At the current exchange rate, one million CNY was roughly equivalent to 860,000.
Seeing that I refused to participate again, Gao Jing's brow furrowed, and his expression froze for a moment.
But then, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "It's alright, boss! I'm not in a hurry anyway. If you change your mind, just say the word!"
"Get up and eat. I've already bought the food."
The moment I got up from the bed, Gao Jing suddenly said meaningfully, "Oh, right! When I went out to buy late-night snacks earlier, I overheard some hoodlums at the late-night snack stall chatting..."
"They were saying that today, downstairs at the Shunhe Hotel on Qiming Street, and not far from Shunhe Hotel on Hetai Road, two groups of people caused trouble, and the commotion was quite loud!"
"I heard that both groups were from the mainland, and they not only had guns but also dynamite and explosives!"
"This matter seems to have reached Mr. He's ears. With the Gambling King competition about to begin, Mr. He has put out word that whoever can find those two troublemaking mainland groups for him will be rewarded with a bounty of one million Macanese dollars!"
Upon hearing this, I froze in place.
No wonder Gao Jing was clearly trying to extort me. It seemed he had already guessed that Luo Tuo and I were part of the group causing trouble on the street!
I hadn't even been in Macao for a full day, and I had already "made a name for myself"!
That fifty thousand Macanese dollars was likely a friendly price he offered, considering his relationship with Luo Tuo.
At this moment, I really didn't know how to make a choice.
Should I accept, or refuse...
After Gao Jing left the room first, I quickly shot Luo Tuo a questioning glance, wanting to ask him what he thought of what Gao Jing had said.
Luo Tuo didn't reply with his eyes but softly uttered four words.
"Stay calm!"
...
Upon entering the living room, which was a mess of dirt and disarray, I saw what Gao Jing called "food."
Seafood fried rice, seafood fried noodles.
And that was it...
The Macao Special Administrative Region is located on the southeast coast of mainland China, at the western bank of the Pearl River Delta. Across the sea to the east is Hong Kong. The Macao Peninsula to the north connects to Zhuhai in Guangdong Province. It fits the characteristics of an island city that "lives off the sea," but...
At the same time, Macao also has the reputation of being the "Las Vegas of Asia." Shouldn't this place be a paradise that gathers beautiful scenery, beautiful women, and delicious food?
Why were there only seafood fried rice and seafood fried noodles among the late-night snacks Gao Jing bought?
Seemingly noticing my slight dissatisfaction, Gao Jing didn't care and mumbled, "Make do with it. It's not safe outside tonight!"
After saying that, he started eating by himself.
Seeing this, I could also accept the situation.
As I sat down, Luo Tuo said to me while eating, "The doctor said your injuries are not serious. A mild concussion just needs plenty of rest."
"As for the eardrum perforation, you must take the prescribed medicine and take good care of it. Avoid getting it wet as much as possible, and especially avoid being in overly noisy environments. It will heal on its own after some time."
Hearing this, I nodded and said thank you.
Although the commotion was quite significant, and I was injured myself, it was undeniable that the previous plan had finally worked.
Yu Shuang had finally been lured out.
Excluding today, there were still six days until the Gambling King competition officially began. As long as I could hold on for these six days and let the Gambling King Token become invalid, I wouldn't have to live in fear and hide from Yu Shuang anymore.
When that time comes, no matter how much she hates me or wants to kill me, I will fight her head-on!
After hiding for these few days, I only need to be wary of Xiao Tianci.
I knew very well that Xiao Tianci would not let me off easily.
I was afraid that if I hid during these days, Yu Shuang might become desperate and join forces with Xiao Tianci, using him as a pawn.
Thinking of this, I quickly put down my chopsticks and asked Luo Tuo, "Was that car dealt with?"
"Don't worry!"
Luo Tuo, with a mouthful of rice, replied indistinctly, "After you were injured and passed out, I contacted Gao Jing on the way to find a clinic and had him deal with the car. I paid some money to the owner."
After nodding, I said, "The money paid is all on me. And then find a way to get me a car!"
