Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 214 Death is not a pity_1

Zhu Yibo’s face flushed red, then turned white, but deep down he almost believed the other person.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Are you really willing to spend so much money?"

The man in the mask shoved the room card into his hand.

"Just give me the item, and you can make the transfer anytime."

Zhu Yibo looked at the room card, feeling as if the thin card weighed a thousand pounds, took a deep breath, and said, "The item isn’t on me, I’m specifically here to attract the attention of the officials... as bait..."

"Damn it! If you didn’t have the item, why didn’t you say so earlier, wasting my damn time."

The man in the mask snatched the room card back, and Zhu Yibo felt the pain as if a mother had her child taken from her.

"I... I know the operator’s code. Now that I’ve been caught, it’s very possible they haven’t completed the transaction yet. If you find him in time, you can..."

"What’s the code?" the man in the mask asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Yibo didn’t notice the change in his tone and answered, "F47."

The man in the mask immediately turned around, "Tell Fujiwara Rika!"

At the same time, he pulled an intercom headset from inside his collar and put it on, asking, "Have they made the transaction yet?"

"No. It seems both sides are hesitating, or rather, waiting for news," came Ding Jianwei’s voice.

"How about you? Why do you keep restricting me..."

"Cut the crap. Keep an eye on them, and notify me of any developments," he interrupted.

Zhu Yibo’s eyes bulged, his hand shaking as he pointed at the man in the mask, "You... you really are an agent..."

"Believe it or not, I really have nothing to do with the place you mentioned."

Xiao Ming, naturally the man in the mask, simply shook his head and said, "I am just a conscientious citizen of the Han Country, that’s all."

"Conscience my ass!"

Zhu Yibo suddenly erupted in anger, jumping up and shouting, "Do you have any idea what kind of life I live every day?

I’m the one working tirelessly around the clock, but the results are always credited to the ’leadership.’

On the rare occasion I achieve something, my bonus is only fifty thousand, but that bastard who just drinks tea, makes calls, and gives orders every day can get two hundred thousand!

Why?

It’s unfair!

You talk to me about conscience, I had one too, but it was only worth fifty thousand!

Fifty thousand!"

Zhu Yibo shouted until he was hoarse, tears streaming down his face, clearly harboring immense grievances within his heart.

However, Xiao Ming looked at him with nothing but disdain and coldness in his eyes, not a hint of pity.

"So, you chose to be a traitor?

Is the credit all yours?

Are you the only one getting fifty thousand?

Are there others getting more than you?

Are there others getting less than you?

In the entire unit, the whole project team, are you the only one working day and night, exhausting yourself?"

With each question Xiao Ming asked, Zhu Yibo’s momentum weakened a bit more.

By the end, Xiao Ming was also shouting, while Zhu Yibo had already lowered his head.

"Even if we take a step back, you feel it’s unfair, you want revenge, you want to vent, that’s your prerogative, but what gives you the right to steal something that doesn’t belong to you?

The ones who wronged you are individuals, not the Han Country, so why betray her?

If you truly can’t stand it anymore, explode in rage, kill the bastard who can get two hundred thousand for doing jack shit, or even blow up the entire unit."

I might even admire you as a real man in regret.

But what did you do?

Zhu Yibo, don’t fucking deceive yourself into thinking how helpless and unyielding you are, you’re just a rotten gambler who’s deep in gambling debt and can’t pay it off.

You are a traitor who betrays colleagues and national interests for money, undeserving to live!"

Zhu Yibo was berated so righteously that sweat poured down like rain, his body shook like chaff, just like a drowned dog.

So Xiao Ming spat out a wad of spit and said nothing more.

Wasting saliva on such trash was simply an insult to himself.

Tossing out his cigarette butt, he took out another, but before a lighter could come his way, he looked up to find Candy’s green eyes staring at him unwaveringly, full of curiosity and scrutiny.

"There’s a proverb in the West, ’Curiosity killed the cat’."

Xiao Ming took out his lighter and lit the cigarette, "You’ve been working on the gambling ship for two and a half years, you should know the less you know, the safer you are."

Candy glanced at the man in black and suddenly switched to Chinese with a heavy accent, "We broke the rules, the captain will kill me to silence me."

Xiao Ming was not at all surprised that she could speak Chinese but wondered, "You knew this, so why did you still agree to get involved?"

"Because sir, you were willing to pay fifteen million US dollars for one of my fingers, you certainly wouldn’t just watch me get killed," Candy reverted to her native language.

Xiao Ming sneered, "It doesn’t matter how much money, to me, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

But this matter now is clearly where money is of no use."

Candy smiled sweetly, "Then consider this as me taking a gamble. That’s quite normal on a gambling ship, isn’t it?"

Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow, looked at her seriously for a moment, and said, "Even if you leave the ship penniless, you would still live very well."

Candy bowed, "Thank you for your blessing!"

"That’s if you get off the ship alive."

With a cool voice rising, Fujiwara Rika appeared outside the door in her wooden clogs. novelbuddy.cσ๓

The man in black who had been guarding performed a salute then turned to leave.

Fujiwara Rika walked into the cabin, her gaze coldly on Candy, "Get out!"

Candy instinctively felt her heart tighten, only to hear Xiao Ming say softly, "Don’t worry, you won’t have any problems."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, Captain!" After bowing to them both, the blonde bunny girl quickly left the room.

Fujiwara Rika acted as if Zhu Yibo did not exist and directly said to Xiao Ming, "Now, what you should be most worried about is whether you’ll have problems yourself."

Xiao Ming’s eyes swept over her from head to toe and back again like a brush, his lips curving, "Are you wearing a tail?"

Fujiwara Rika’s face shifted slightly, "I don’t... I don’t understand what you mean."

"It seems you are."

Xiao Ming stood up and slowly moved behind her.

The next moment, Fujiwara Rika’s entire body tensed up, her breathing rapid, yet she did not flee, just clenched her teeth.

"If you can’t produce proof within two minutes, I’ll personally chop off this hand of yours and put it in a jar as a desk ornament!"

Xiao Ming rested his chin on her shoulder, blowing smoke on her cheek as if he were an intimate lover.

"European section Captain Richard’s daughter is on this ship, the red-haired attendant who frequents his bedroom is her.

The parrot belonging to the African section Captain Tootoo is specially trained. Every time the ship approaches the African continent, he releases it, claiming it’s letting the child go home, but in reality, it’s passing messages.

The American section Captain Jackson is a psychopathic killer. If you’ve done the statistics, you’d find that there are always more rule-breaking guests when he’s the captain, compared to other sections.

As for Oceania section Captain Madigan, there’s no need to say, he’s already your dog, isn’t he?"

Fujiwara Rika’s body no longer stiffened, in fact, she was shaking violently, her eyes filled with horror.

"You... how could you... who exactly are you?"
