At the K8 nightclub in Tiancheng, Duan Fei, who stood at over 1.8 meters tall, was bent over, showing no signs of his former gangster aura. His face was pale as he gazed at the man sitting in the boss's chair.
"Da Fei, have you found out where Wang Jun is?" Xiao Fei asked.
Duan Fei shook his head dejectedly, "No, we haven't found anything. The car he rented was a fake, and there were no useful clues. It's like he appeared out of thin air! He's definitely a fugitive, and his methods are exceedingly cruel. I've seen the injured people, and their injuries won't heal for a while. Zhao Xing is the worst off, with a fractured left foot, severe concussion, three broken fingers on his left hand, and two more fingers also fractured. His right hand is slightly better, but two fingers are shattered too."
Even Duan Fei, who had experienced many things, felt a chill when talking about Zhao Xing's injuries. The other party's actions weren't just about killing, but about torturing. He gradually realized how far-reaching "Wang Jun's" influence was.
However, he couldn't understand why he had offended this person. Was it because of a robbed gambler?
"So you're saying there are no leads. Our casino has been robbed of over twenty million, and now even our reputation is in question?" Xiao Fei's voice was calm as water, but it struck Duan Fei like thunder.
"Boss, I really didn't expect him to spout such nonsense. Even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't have taken him to the VIP room," Duan Fei said.
Xiao Fei sneered, "Nonsense? Duan Fei, just because your name has 'Fei' in it, don't think this casino is your kingdom. You're too bold to dare to rob the gamblers. That man is now under Nie Xinyi's control. If he falls into someone else's hands, my golden reputation will be ruined. Can you bear such a loss?"
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Duan Fei said, "Boss Xiao, I know it's my fault this time. I was blinded by greed. Please forgive me."
Although Duan Fei always appeared confident in front of others, he was like an obedient child in front of Xiao Fei. His current position was ultimately due to Xiao Fei's support. Without Xiao Fei, he would be nothing.
"You don't need to worry about the casino and nightclub anymore," Xiao Fei said.
"Boss?" Duan Fei looked sorrowful.
"No need to say more. This isn't just my decision; your mistake has given them ammunition," Xiao Fei waved his hand.
Anxiously, Duan Fei asked, "Boss Xiao, what should I do next?"
"I happen to have some business in Beijing. You can find a place to stay there," Xiao Fei said.
"Beijing?" Duan Fei looked puzzled.
As Xiao Fei's trusted assistant, Duan Fei was well-informed about Xiao Fei's company.
Xiao Fei's real estate company mainly relied on insider trading for profits rather than property development. They acquired land rights from the government at low prices and sold them at high prices. Although Wang Yunlai held a prominent position in Tiancheng, in Beijing, anyone with a powerful backer surpassed Wang Yunlai's connections. That was why Xiao Fei had always maintained a foothold in Tiancheng. Duan Fei was puzzled about why Xiao Fei needed to go to Beijing this time.
"Boss, whatever you need me to do, just tell me," Duan Fei reassured, knowing he hadn't been abandoned and rallied. As long as he was still useful, Xiao Fei would continue to employ him. Duan Fei was well aware of Xiao Fei's influence. If he became worthless, the outcome wouldn't be good. Without Xiao Fei's support, he wouldn't be able to leave Tiancheng, given his involvement in too many unsavory activities over the years and the numerous enemies he had made.
"I've partnered with someone to open a jade jewelry store in Beijing, specializing in jadeite business. It's very profitable, even more so than the real estate industry. You'll be in charge of procurement," Xiao Fei explained.
Worriedly, Duan Fei said, "Boss, I know nothing about jadeite!"
"Nonsense, neither do I. There are experts in the store; you just need to listen to them. Da Fei, your task is to manage the funds. My partner and I have some influence at the border, and he's a ruthless character. I don't trust anyone else to go in case they get swallowed up. This is your last chance. If you fail, don't bother coming back," Xiao Fei said.
Duan Fei quickly nodded in agreement.
After Xiao Fei left, Duan Fei kicked the sofa in frustration. "Damn it, he didn't give me an opportunity; he's just banishing me. How can we, a group of people like us, handle Beijing? Everyone knows your roots are in Tiancheng. Going to Beijing, how can we cope?"
Just as he realized it was a deployment, a knock sounded at the door. Duan Fei straightened his clothes and called out, "Come in."
Nie Xinyi walked in with a smile, and Duan Fei cursed inwardly, thinking to himself, "This cunning woman stabbed me in the back, otherwise how could I have ended up in this situation?"
"Manager Duan, sorry for the interruption. Starting today, this office is mine. If you have any personal belongings, please don't forget to take them with you," Nie Xinyi said with a smile.
Duan Fei was almost furious to the point of spitting blood. Nie Xinyi was simply adding fuel to the fire.
"No need! I'm not a novice. What I lost today, I can regain tomorrow," Duan Fei said coldly.
With that, he headed decisively towards the door.
Nie Xinyi chuckled from behind, "Manager Duan, I have some news that I believe will interest you."
Duan Fei, who had already grabbed the door handle, was intrigued by these words. He turned to look at the smug Nie Xinyi and asked, "What news? How come I didn't know it would interest me?"
Smiling, Nie Xinyi replied, "About Wang Jun, do you want to know?"
Duan Fei's face turned extremely ugly. "What do you want?" he asked.
"Nothing much. There are some VIP clients in the casino, all personally entertained by you. I believe if they find out that Manager Duan has left, they will also leave," Nie Xinyi said.
Duan Fei took a deep breath. "Fine, I'll listen to you," he said.
Nie Xinyi continued with a smile, "I have some friends in the bank, and just got the news that the check you issued yesterday has been deposited into an account!"
"What? He actually dared to deposit the money!" Duan Fei exclaimed in surprise.
He had originally thought that Wang Jun wouldn't cash the check, as it would easily expose his location.
"Indeed, according to the information, the other party processed this transaction in the capital city," Nie Xinyi said.
She felt no guilt about betraying Ye Fei, and based on Little Hei's description, she had also heightened her vigilance against Ye Fei. This man was very dangerous, and it was best to let Duan Fei deal with him. If he found the casino, it would be bad luck. This way, she could obtain the information of Duan Fei's important clients and eliminate the threat of "Wang Jun" at the same time. It was a win-win situation.
"The capital city! Good, good, good!" Duan Fei gritted his teeth.
After Duan Fei left, Nie Xinyi smugly sat in the boss's chair, enjoying the feeling of sitting there. Suddenly, she remembered Ye Fei's expressionless eyes and couldn't help but shudder. She suddenly had a premonition that she would see this mysterious man again. But the feeling came and went quickly, and soon Nie Xinyi was immersed in the joy of success.
After dealing with Liu Man and the others, Ye Fei rested for a moment before going to the bank to cash the check. He was worried that the check would become invalid after a certain time, after all, it was a large sum of over twenty million. If anything went wrong, he wouldn't be able to rest easy. After transferring the money into a new account, Ye Fei left the bank with a sense of accomplishment.
If he had heard Nie Xinyi's conversation, he would surely have been greatly surprised, because at this time it was less than ten minutes since he had cashed the check. It showed how extensive Nie Xinyi's connections were!
Yesterday's retaliation could be said to have been completely successful, making the gamblers begin to doubt the casino's credibility and successfully teaching those who had attacked him a lesson. The only regret was that Duan Fei did not come in person, missing an opportunity for revenge.
But the unexpected windfall of over twenty million was also a pleasant surprise. With this money, after converting the gold into cash, he would have the startup capital to do many things. Driving back to the residential area, he parked the car in the underground parking lot.
After locking the car, Ye Fei walked towards the staircase. Just as he was about to turn the corner, he stopped in his tracks. There was a strange sound coming from the stairs, and he listened carefully. It sounded like rapid breathing.
Ye Fei became alert, raising his guard. Could it be someone sent by Duan Fei? It was impossible. His plan was flawless, and even if they found a clue, they couldn't have found him so quickly. Could it be a robber? Looking around, he began to search for a suitable tool.
Behind the stairs, a group of men and women lay in ambush, holding various weapons, anxiously waiting.
Yang Yi was getting anxious. What was going on with this guy? She clearly saw him getting out of the car, so why hadn't he come over yet?
