CHAPTER 1729: CHAPTER 1728: GOOD LUCK ONLY HAPPENS ONCE

"Brother Kun, didn’t I already explain everything to you yesterday? This isn’t my fault, absolutely not my fault! If it hadn’t been for Lao Si provoking us, we wouldn’t have ended up fighting! I’ve been loyal to you all these years, haven’t I?" The tall man said with frustration as he held his bowl of rice.

"Brother Kun! I’ve always been upfront with you, haven’t I? This time, everyone saw what happened. If the tall guy had just listened, we would’ve made it back without anyone noticing. But now?! Stirring up trouble?! We almost got caught!" Lao Si grew angrier as he spoke, and with a loud bang, he slammed his bowl to the ground, scattering rice everywhere.

The tall man watched the scene, anger rising in him as well. He immediately stood up and threw his chopsticks away furiously.

"I’ve had enough of you! Lao Si, you tell me—what kind of attitude do you have toward me? Can you really pin all the blame for this incident on me? Let me ask you, who fired the gun back then? Was it me? It was one of your useless lackeys who accidentally pulled the trigger! If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have had to flee back like dogs! Let me tell you something—you’re nothing but lucky. If it hadn’t been for that poor bastard showing up at just the right time to redirect the danger, do you think your skills would’ve gotten us out of there? No chance!" The tall man cursed vehemently for a long time.

"Who was that person? Are they in the same line of work as us?" Mu Qiankun asked while stroking his chin.

"No idea," the tall man shrugged. "Why do you care what they do? As long as they’re not connected to us and don’t interfere with our business, they can do whatever they want."

"Not interfere? Really?!" Lao Si dropped into a chair, crossed his legs, and picked at his teeth with a toothpick. "If you think that doesn’t interfere, then think again! Don’t believe me? Send someone to investigate! That area is definitely sealed off by now!"

"What are we going to do?" Mu Qiankun said anxiously. "The current market conditions are perfect; if we can get the goods now, we’ll fetch great prices. But if we fail, all we’ll be doing is watching others make money!"

"What can we do?" Lao Si flicked the toothpick onto the floor after finishing with his teeth. "We can’t just keep taking such huge risks, can we? We got lucky once, but if we try again, I’m afraid... there’s no guarantee luck will be on our side again."

"Wait! I refuse to believe this military drill will last more than a month or two!" The tall man suddenly calmed down.

"Alright. We’ll wait two more weeks. If there’s no breakthrough by then, we’ll attempt a second try!" Mu Qiankun made his decision.

When An Hao returned from visiting the hospital, she took a quick shower and lay down on her bed to rest.

Today felt like she had lived through two completely opposite extremes in life.

Fortunately, it wasn’t Qin Jian lying in that hospital bed; if it were him, she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep at all right now.

An Hao closed her eyes and quickly drifted into deep sleep.

It was unclear how long she had been asleep, but suddenly she felt the mattress on one side of the bed sink slowly. Just as she was about to open her eyes, she felt a heavy weight pressing her body down tightly.

Immediately after, a pair of slightly cold lips captured her own.

Is this a dream?

An Hao’s eyes snapped open in shock.
