Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 216 Why Are You So Fiery_1

Zhu Yibo’s cries for mercy were confined within the cabin.

Fujiwara Rika followed Xiao Ming with small, delicate steps, seemingly submissive, but she only stepped back slightly and lowered her head after Xiao Ming entered a correct and not-low-level elevator code.

She certainly hadn’t completely submitted; it was merely fear due to not being able to see through or understand the situation.

At the same time, she knew that if she couldn’t quickly find out his strengths and weaknesses, submission was just a matter of time.

This man was dangerous and powerful, and accepting his invitation was undoubtedly playing with fire.

But it was like a person dying of thirst in the desert suddenly finding a bottle of poison.

Would you die in pain with a slight hope but most likely in despair?

Or would you take a daring leap, kill the hope, but die satisfied with your last breath?

For ordinary people, this would definitely be a difficult choice that could lead to much hair-pulling.

But Fujiwara Rika was no ordinary person; she was a madwoman who had long been quenching her thirst with poison.

"Sir, the room you’re staying in is far from matching your status. Do you need me to move you to a higher floor?

Of course, if you need it, my bedroom is also available."

"Don’t get your hopes up!" Xiao Ming chuckled, "I’m here to make money tonight, no need for a room."

"Making money?"

"What? Don’t believe in my luck?"

Fujiwara Rika pursed her lips and tested, "If it’s just about luck, Rika indeed wouldn’t believe."

Xiao Ming glanced back at her, noncommittal.

"Who are the parties involved in the transaction?"

"The buyer comes from an anarchist organization, very rule-abiding; they paid a ten percent commission before boarding the ship."

Fujiwara Rika replied, "The seller’s identity is still uncertain. But from my observations, they should be a spy from an island in the south of Han Country."

Xiao Ming’s eyebrows raised, and he immediately said, "I want to take them off the ship, you handle it."

Fujiwara Rika’s greatest ability wasn’t her beauty, nor her scheming and ambition, but her exceptional keen eye and judgment.

Even though this woman used seduction as her principal weapon, she had never seen herself merely as an ornament.

The hardships and suffering she had endured in private for the pursuit of power were the reasons why Xiao Ming still harbored a sliver of sentiment and pity for her.

How should I put it?

Even detestable people have pitiable aspects, I guess.

"Do you have any connections with the Han Country officials, sir?" Fujiwara Rika asked hesitantly.

"Do you think I look like one?" Xiao Ming countered.

Fujiwara Rika shook her head without hesitation: "You don’t seem like a man of faith, more like a playboy."

Xiao Ming laughed heartily and lifted his hand to pinch her glossy chin, "Since you see me as a playboy, then you should understand that playboys are usually kind to women.

After I leave the ship, you’re not allowed to harm Candy, got it?"

Fujiwara Rika blinked her beautiful eyes twice, feigning displeasure: "Sir, you haven’t fully won over Rika’s heart yet, aren’t you afraid Rika will be jealous if you care so much about another woman?

You should know, when women get jealous, they can go crazy."

"A dog can only have one master, but a master can have more than one dog.

Therefore, I don’t need to do anything to own your heart; instead, it is you who must strive for my exclusive favor.

Not understanding even this simple principle deserves punishment!

Go put on a collar yourself, then come see me in the casino’s VIP lounge."

During their conversation, the elevator doors opened, revealing a bunny girl standing outside—none other than Candy.

Xiao Ming immediately showed a smile, stepped forward, and enveloped the blonde beauty in his arms, asking, "Are you worried about me, or are you worried about yourself?"

Candy hesitated for a moment before answering, "Both."

"Ha ha! You have a way with words.

Rest assured, women who can speak well without blabbering generally have good luck."

Fujiwara Rika watched intently as Xiao Ming flirted with the beauty, her heart suddenly overflowing with murderous intent, then becoming anxiously unsettled.

It wasn’t until the elevator doors closed that she let out a long sigh, closing her eyes.

Mother, please bless Rika! Tell me he is the man I need the most...

Candy was a smart girl; even without the captain’s promise, she believed in Xiao Ming.

Once she confirmed that keeping her lips sealed and guarding the secret would save her life, she relaxed completely, sweetly snuggling up to Xiao Ming, more like a lover than an attendant.

As they entered the casino, from a distance, Xiao Bing, with her sharp eyes, spotted Xiao Ming and ran over with a cheer, stopping in front of him and glaring at Candy with puffed cheeks.

Xiao Ming chuckled, letting go of Candy and teasing her by flicking her nose. The girl immediately beamed with joy, hugging his arm and affectionately calling him "brother," resembling a jealous sister with a brother complex.

This was one of the first personalities Xiao Bing woke up to according to her program, ready to adjust at any time.

Innocent, seductive; naive, cunning; childish, mature; frail, tough...and so on.

With just a command from her master, she could instantly take on any desired type, flawlessly executed without a single imperfection.

However, for Xiao Ming, having Xiao Bing see herself as a sister was the most fitting—it saved a lot of trouble.

After all, the seductive power of an obedient, multifaceted enchantress was far greater than that of Yang Hanqing, Yun Shi Yu, Bai Xuechao, Gu Xiangmeng, and Zhou Qingyuan combined.

He did not wish to constantly test his own morals.

"Master!"

When Xiao Ming approached, Xiao Li bent slightly at the waist, then stepped back, revealing Ding Jianwei with an expression of raging anger.

"If you can’t immediately give me a reasonable explanation, I..."

"Can we skip this step?" Xiao Ming interrupted her, "On this gambling ship, besides being labeled as a ’woman,’ you’re nothing.

I just won’t explain it to you, what can you do about that?"

Ding Jianwei narrowed her eyes at him for a moment, then turned and walked away.

"Jiang Yang, prepare to leave..."

"Ouch! Big sis, you don’t have to vent your anger through suicide either, do you? Why are you so hot-tempered?"

Xiao Ming grabbed her, "It’s not that I’m unwilling to explain; it’s just hard to explain.

Let’s talk after we get ashore, okay?"

Ding Jianwei let out a breath, "Fine, I’ll let you off for now. Has Zhu Yibo said anything?"

"Aside from confirming that the goods aren’t on him and providing the mastermind’s room number, there’s not much useful information."

"You know the main culprit’s room number? That’s really useful!" Ding Jianwei got excited, "Those guys haven’t traded yet, obviously they’re cautious and timid.

I even doubt the trade has been called off. After all, the buyer won’t just wait around.

We just need to lie in ambush near the room, catch the culprit when he returns, and the task will be completed!"

"No, you’re mistaken. The buyer already paid the trading commission before boarding the ship, which shows determination."

While speaking, Xiao Ming glanced at his watch and added, "It’s been eighteen minutes since we were taken away; if nothing unexpected, they’re getting restless and will soon inquire about Zhu Yibo’s whereabouts with the gambling ship personnel."

"How do you know the buyer has already paid the commission?"

Xiao Ming smiled slightly and said to Candy, "Get me a VIP room without surveillance."
