Urban Ace Bodyguard
Chapter 723 - 778: Xiaocang's Choice
"What is your status in the Reincarnation company?" the fatty asked.
"I just hang out with the leader of Reincarnation, have meals, sing songs." Lin Hai did not directly reveal his identity because it was too astonishing and he estimated the other party wouldn't believe him, instead a more subtle and indirect approach might be more convincing.
As expected, upon hearing this, the fatty stared dead at Lin Hai and found that Lin Hai was unafraid. As their gazes met, the fatty felt a stabbing pain in his eyes.
"This seemingly ordinary and unimpressive guy actually has such sharp eyes!"
The fatty only remembered, among the people he had met, it seemed only the unattainable Chen Family Young Master had such piercing eyes.
With slightly furrowed brows, Lin Hai smiled and said word by word: "Shall I call the brothers from Reincarnation here now? We could have a good talk together."
A cold sweat imperceptibly broke out on the fatty's forehead.
Even the non-mainstream girl beside him with dyed white hair was a little shocked; Reincarnation seemed to be a very formidable and awesome force.
"Brother, let's talk this out nicely."
The fatty was just in charge of this gambling area—starting a fight between two major forces was a responsibility he could not bear.
After thinking for a moment, the fatty quickly said, "I'll go check how my subordinates are doing with counting the money."
"I believe there's no counterfeit money."
After saying this, the fatty hurriedly walked out, even deliberately avoiding Lin Hai as he passed him, because the look in that man's eyes earlier was too terrifying; the fatty knew he was incredibly guilty.
"Is the money counted correct?"
"Six hundred thousand exactly, boss. We are mixing in counterfeit, we'll trap that kid later," a skinny subordinate said with a proud smile.
"Mix your fucking ass, trying to get me killed? If the money is right, just leave it be, I will consult with Third Young Master Chen first."
The subordinate's smiling face stiffened, surprised inside, why was the boss acting like this? Normally, wouldn't he usually scam people when it involved money?
The fatty quickly took out his phone and dialed: "Third Young Master, it's Little Bi."
"What's the matter?"
"There's a guy who brought Xiaocang to repay the money, claiming to be from Reincarnation."
"Xiaocang? I thought she disappeared, hmm."
Chen Third Young Master described Lin Hai's appearance: "Does that guy look unremarkable, with thick eyebrows, and about 178cm tall?"
"Yes, Young Master, do you know him?"
"Hmph, it really is him, no need to search high and low, today I'll make him leave the gambling house horizontally."
"Did that guy offend Third Young Master?"
"Little Bi understands."
The fatty respectfully hung up, his lips curling into a sinister and venomous smile.
He scolded his subordinates, "What are you standing around for? Mix in the counterfeit money, and mix it hard, a ten-to-one ratio!"
"Ah?"
The subordinate was shocked, ten-to-one meant that out of six hundred thousand, only sixty thousand was real money, this was clearly setting up a deadly trap.
"Boss, isn't this too obvious?"
"Obvious my ass, do I need you to direct me? That guy has offended our Third Young Master Chen, he won't even know how he'll die later, this counterfeit money is just an excuse for provocation."
"Boss is brilliant! Awesome!"
The underling hastily took the opportunity to flatter, inwardly mourning for Lin Hai and Xiaocang who had offended Third Young Master Chen, poor guys.
"Brother Lin, is everything going to be alright?" Xiaocang asked nervously.
Lin Hai smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, I've got everything covered, this matter will be completely resolved today."
After a while, the fatty returned, sweeping away his earlier guilt and wearing a look of disdain and arrogance on his face.
"How's it going?"
Lin Hai asked, noticing the expression on the fat man, he sneered in his heart, knowing that the other party definitely wanted to play some tricks.
"How about it?"
The fat man nonchalantly sat back at the desk, grabbed the non-mainstream girl from before, and violently swiped her buttocks. After enjoying the feel, he squinted his eyes, glancing sideways.
Lin Hai furrowed his brows, the fat man's attitude was very arrogant.
"What exactly is going on?"
Lin Hai, restraining his patience, asked again.
The fat man snorted coldly, his eye slits suddenly opened and closed, bursting with a glow of anger, and he suddenly stood up. His hefty hand slammed heavily on the desk, producing a loud "bang" sound.
Xiaocang trembled with fear, her hand gripping Lin Hai's arm even tighter.
Even that non-mainstream girl was startled by the fat man's sudden change of attitude.
"Kid, do you not see where you are, trying to fool me with counterfeit money? Have you eaten the gall of a bear-hearted leopard?"
The fat man loudly scolded, his tone was arrogant to the extreme.
"Oh? Haha, are you sure?" Lin Hai's expression remained calm, but his eyes had turned icy cold.
"Sure your ass, kid, you're not walking out of this office today." The fat man looked down on Lin Hai, since he had offended Third Young Master Chen, he must not be someone important.
He seemed to already foresee Lin Hai's doomed fate.
This Xiaocang seems nice, maybe I can have fun with her on the desk later? Hehe.
The fat man thought wickedly.
"Some people just can't open their eyes wide enough. Really don't know if their eyeballs were eaten by dogs when they were born." Lin Hai coldly sneered.
"Are you threatening my men?" A cold voice suddenly echoed from behind.
Lin Hai turned around and saw Third Young Master Chen, accompanied by more than thirty men holding knives, coldly walking towards Lin Hai, exuding a murderous aura.
"Third son of the Chen family?" Lin Hai squinted, the Chen family had killed Tao Xia's brother back then, regardless of the reasons mixed in, this hatred was extendable.
"Who are you?"
"Who I am, you have no right to know."
A gloom and anger crossed Third Young Master Chen's face.
"How dare you speak to the third young master like that, don't you want to live?"
The fat man loudly scolded Lin Hai, stepping forward, his finger nearly poking Lin Hai's face.
Xiaocang, already terrified, felt immensely regretful. She shouldn't have brought Brother Lin here, and now it's causing him harm.
"No, I can't let them harm Brother Lin!"
Xiaocang clenched her teeth, eyes brimming with tears, suddenly said, "Don't bully Brother Lin, if you have something, come at me."
"I, at worst, agree to shoot a little movie with you."
At this statement, Lin Hai was stunned.
Then, he saw a flicker of emotion in his eyes.
A person's true nature often goes unnoticed in ordinary times since inner thoughts are hidden, but critical and dangerous moments are often the best way to test someone's true intentions.
"Yo, little girl, have you come to your senses? Tsk tsk, don't worry, later I will definitely fulfill your wish, let's shoot a Reincarnation Battle, how about that?"
The fat man sneered repeatedly, looking forward to what was to come.
"Xiaocang, don't worry, it's okay," Lin Hai comforted softly.
"It's okay? Hmph, I'm very curious, what at this point still gives you any confidence?" Third Young Master Chen coldly asked, disdain flashing in his eyes.
The fierce thugs also burst into laughter, looking at Lin Hai as if he was an idiot. Has his brains got messed up? Or has he been frightened stupid? Still pretending to be calm, we'll chop him to death soon.
Lin Hai ignored Third Young Master Chen, and simply took out his cellphone.
"Thinking of calling the police? Do you think that will help?"
