When speaking, although Fan Yin Xin’s face was smiling and her expression was kind, anyone could tell that Fan Yin Xin’s smile was a smile hiding a dagger.
This sudden big revelation, like a thousand-pound weight, struck Ying Bao Lin’s head, making him dizzy.
As his expression changed drastically, Ying Bao Lin’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. He frowned and reprimanded, “You can eat anything, but you can’t say anything you want!”
“I know, you’re slandering me without reason as a tactic of ‘surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao,’ trying to take Chen Xiang away!”
“Let me be clear… Chen Xiang and I have a personal vendetta. It doesn’t matter who comes! I won’t give face to anyone!”
People like Ying Bao Lin, who were shrewd and cunning, were best at diverting the topic by pointing east and west.
He was confident that as long as he spoke strongly and decisively, no one would dare to cross him.
Unfortunately, Fan Yin Xin, who had come prepared, was clearly not so easy to deal with.
Without responding to Ying Bao Lin, Fan Yin Xin took out a cigarette case from her bag.
Opening the cigarette case to reveal the camera inside, Fan Yin Xin looked up at Ying Bao Lin and said with a light smile, “My cigarette case is equipped with a miniature camera!”
“It has recorded all the competition footage from the preliminaries to the finals… especially the final match!”
“Whether it was fair or not, it will be clear once you rewind and watch the recording!”
Upon hearing this, Ying Bao Lin’s face instantly fell.
Then, before Fan Yin Xin could say anything more, he forced a smile and said, “Heh heh~ Is that necessary?”
“This competition is absolutely fair, just, and open. There are no tricks!”
“I invited Chen Xiang here because he reported some unfair incidents encountered during the competition, and I specifically came to verify and investigate.”
Hearing this, Fan Yin Xin immediately asked, “Have you finished verifying and investigating? Why are you detaining Chen Xiang and not letting him leave?”
Fan Yin Xin’s question instantly rendered Ying Bao Lin speechless. His face turned pale, then flushed, and his lips were slightly pale.
Finally, Ying Bao Lin had to bite the bullet and say, “It has been verified. There are no major issues!”
“Then can I take him away?” Fan Yin Xin pressed on.
It had to be admitted that Fan Yin Xin’s tactic of ‘beating the grass to startle the snake’ was perfectly executed.
No wonder Fan Yin Xin had to smoke almost every ten minutes during the finals.
It turned out she was using the action of opening the cigarette case to constantly adjust the shooting angle of the hidden miniature camera!
One word: brilliant!
Of course, the most crucial element here wasn’t the miniature camera, but Hua Liang, who had come first.
If Hua Liang had come instead of Fan Yin Xin earlier, even if she had brought a few familiar bosses with her, it would have been difficult to escape unscathed.
With the goods snatched and the person detained, there would have been no follow-up.
Even if Hua Liang had brought a large group of people later, and they could rescue Fan Yin Xin and the others, by the time they reached me, I would likely have been powerless.
But now, the situation had changed.
The crucial order of priority, coupled with the timely ‘beating the grass to startle the snake.’
It had not only severely deterred Ying Bao Lin but also smoothly resolved the unsolvable predicament that was originally set up against me.
This Fan Yin Xin’s mind was no less than Yu Shuang’s!
…
Despite his immense reluctance, Ying Bao Lin ultimately chose to compromise under Fan Yin Xin’s pressure.
With a slight wave of his hand, the restraints on Cheng Ming Lang and Han Jin Lun were immediately removed.
Then, after giving me a sinister glance, Ying Bao Lin signaled that I could leave.
Seeing this, as if granted amnesty, I didn’t say a word and directly took Cheng Ming Lang and Han Jin Lun out of the room.
The moment I left, Fan Yin Xin led those bosses out of the room.
Although Ying Bao Lin had compromised, they were still on his cruise ship, so they dared not delay or hesitate.
After Fan Yin Xin and I led our respective groups out of Area A, Hua Liang then led his subordinates to retreat like a tide and rendezvous with us.
Returning to the crowded and watchful Area D.
After Fan Yin Xin gratefully sent off those bosses, and after sitting for a while, Hua Liang also took his leave. I personally saw him out.
During our casual chat earlier, I had learned from Fan Yin Xin that Hua Liang was also a former member of Uncle Tuo’s gambling team, specializing in escape.
In the early days, Uncle Tuo’s gambling team was truly strong and well-equipped.
It wasn’t until the appearance of Yun Jin and the disagreements before the start of the Gambling King Competition in 1999 that the team finally disintegrated, and its members scattered.
In Zhejiang Province today, there are only two former members of Uncle Tuo’s gambling team.
One is Yun Jin, and the other is Hua Liang.
As for Fan Yin Xin, she was specifically invited from another province by Yun Jin…
In the corridor of Area A, Hua Liang sighed softly.
“They say that when a person dies, their light goes out!”
“It doesn’t matter how many people remember and care about a person when they are alive; only after death can the truth be discerned.”
“Xiang Zi, it is your fortune to have you as Ming Tai’s disciple!”
“I dare not speak for other old buddies, but as long as I, Hua Liang, am still alive, count me in on investigating the true cause of Ming Tai’s death!”
“If Sister Xin hadn’t found me, I wouldn’t have known that Ming Tai had already…”
“When I go back this time, I will definitely investigate thoroughly and see who is responsible for Ming Tai’s death!”
Hearing this, I didn’t reply. Instead, I bowed deeply to Hua Liang.
Among Uncle Tuo’s old buddies, there were indeed reliable people.
This was good.
One more person meant one more source of strength.
One more source of strength meant one more hope of restoring the truth!
Without avoiding my gratitude, as I straightened up, Hua Liang patted my shoulder reassuringly, his eyes filled with solemnity, and said, “Before the cruise ship docks, remember not to leave your room easily!”
“Area A is crowded and full of eyes. If Ying Bao Lin wants to act recklessly, he must first weigh the consequences!”
“Then what about you, Uncle Liang?” I asked with a frown.
“I’ll scout the situation outside for you!”
Before I could speak, Hua Liang added, “Don’t worry about me, Ying Bao Lin can’t touch me!”
“Hurry back to your room. Sister Xin has something to tell you!”
I knew very well that the reason Fan Yin Xin was willing to protect me was likely due to some hidden reason.
And now, it was time to uncover that hidden reason…
…
After bidding farewell to Hua Liang and returning to the room.
Fan Yin Xin sat in the center of the sofa, calmly smoking.
Seeing me walk over, Fan Yin Xin immediately said, “You cannot stay in this place, Wenzhou, where wolves and tigers are all around!”
“But I want to avenge Uncle Tuo and use the Gambling King…”
Before I could finish, Fan Yin Xin immediately retorted, “Your intention to use the Gambling King Token to lure out the real culprit is good, but…”
“I’m afraid you’re thinking a bit too optimistically!”
“Why?” I asked, frowning.
