Although Ping Buguan didn't come, it would be the same if Buguan's girlfriend came.
Ning Bu Wen had prepared the gift long ago. After the game, he took his future sister-in-law out for dinner and gave her the gift he had prepared long ago.
Calling her sister-in-law, in fact it is not an exaggeration to call her sister. They both grew up in an orphanage. However, when they told Ning Buwen that they were together, Ning Buwen was surprised.
I don't think I grew up to be an upright person, but I really like to be with people who have a strong sense of justice. In this way, I feel that I am not so out of place.
And Ping Buguan is the one with the strongest sense of justice and the most caring one in their welfare home.
"These are all gifts for you, especially this latest bulletproof vest. I not only spent money but also used my connections to buy it. You must make sure that Wu Guan wears it when the time comes, to prevent him from rushing forward when he sees the criminals." Ning Bu Wen took out his gifts like he was presenting a treasure, with a hint of pride in his tone.
In the past, Ping Buguan and his sister-in-law took care of him, but now it is his turn to take care of them both.
Ning Buwen was not exaggerating. He felt that even if they gave birth to ten or eight children at once, he, as an uncle, would be able to raise them.
The forms of welfare homes have undergone various changes from ancient times to the present, but children born in welfare homes always seem to have an inexplicable yearning for family.
If you lack something, you will instinctively pursue it.
"That's great. I've always been worried that he's too impulsive." Seeing the gift Ning Buwen took out, the girl immediately became happy. "When he comes back, please help me persuade him. You don't know, recently he has been upside down all day and night because of the arms trafficking, and he even forgot to eat."
"So exaggerated?" Ning Bu Wen felt very curious. From what he said, this should not be a small case.
"Maybe it's because there are so many things involved."
"It's okay, it's okay. Although there are indeed a lot of illegal things in Las Vegas, the public security is first-class." Ning Bu Wen was not very worried about Ping Bu Guan's safety.
There is so much money flowing here every day, and there are countless wealthy people from all over the world coming here to spend a lot of money. If safety cannot be guaranteed, how can we attract people to keep coming here
This is why they are not worried about Ping Bu's life being in danger, it's just a patrol. But if someone loses an arm or a leg, he will have to stay in the hospital for a while, after all, regeneration technology takes time and money.
"Don't worry, even if something big happens, I will definitely drag him to watch you win the championship."
"Of course. What you are going to witness is the birth of the youngest gambling competition champion in Las Vegas." Ning Bu Wen said proudly.
"Can't you be more humble?"
"Is there any need to be modest when I'm just telling the truth?"
The finals were held on the weekend, about ten days away from the end of the semi-finals.
These ten days also give the audience the opportunity to finally choose who will be the champion.
Ning Buwen's support rate reached 85 percent, which was almost one-sided.
It was clear that Ning Buwen's opponent, who was also competing for the championship, was the fifth place in last year's competition. In this kind of competition, except for the top three, the rest of the people were basically not prohibited from continuing to play. Therefore, compared to those newcomers who emerged one after another, these experienced veterans were the strongest competitors.
Every year, the support rate of veterans is much higher than that of newcomers. However, unless it is an overwhelming situation, most of the support rates will remain around 6 to 4, and the highest is 7 to 3.
This year the ratio is 8:2, and the newcomers have an overwhelming advantage, which is really surprising.
When the senior executives of the competition organizer saw this ratio, they almost thought they had made a mistake.
Is there really no one behind this
You have to know that the champion who won the championship last year as a heavy favorite only had a support rate of 7:3 in the finals.
"That young man has a convincing magic," said last year's champion. "When he first announced that he was going to win the championship, everyone thought he was arrogant. But when he said the same thing for the second, third, and fourth time, and defeated those seemingly impossible enemies again and again, the audience's hearts would unconsciously fall to his side."
The audience's mentality is somewhat similar to that of the mother eagle.
Looking at the cub that he originally did not think highly of, flying in the sky again and again, flying higher and higher, he will naturally believe without hesitation that the other party can soar into the sky.
Ning Buwen gives people the same feeling.
He was already at an age full of vigor and vitality, but he was unexpectedly able to convey his emotions to everyone who watched him, just like a little sun. As long as you got close to him, you could feel his light and warmth.
The indomitable courage and bravery he displayed in the game made those gamblers who had no skills but great courage seem to see hope in life.
Even though I was last year's champion, I couldn't help but want to support this newcomer.
The top management doesn't have much intention of liking Ning Buwen.
The higher Ning Buwen's support rate is, the more they will have to pay. When they think of that number, even though they have an incalculable fortune, they can't help but feel a little painful.
Is that damn arms dealer going to take action
Of course, arms dealers will not do nothing.
Not only did he do it, he did it very well.
Ping didn't care that he was trapped.
"What you need to do is very simple. Just send a message to Ning Buwen." The arms dealer persuaded, "We won't do anything to you, and you don't have to worry about your safety. Don't you also dislike Ning Buwen's excessive involvement in gambling?"
After all, the arms dealers still have to consider the boss. Although this prevents them from using more direct and effective methods to deal with Ning Buwen, it is not impossible to be more roundabout and tactful.
Beforehand, the arms dealer had asked someone to study Ning Buwen's behavior and was very sure that Ning Buwen was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. It was very likely that he would give up the finals for Ping Buwen. Moreover, even if Ning Buwen could not come and Ping Buwen was arrested, his mood would be greatly affected.
In this highly psychological gambling finals, just a tiny gap can be the key to turning the situation around.
After all, Ning Buwen is just a minor.
If you don't care, you naturally don't want to send it.
It was one thing that he didn't like Ning Buwen participating in the competition, but being forced to send a message to Ning Buwen was another thing.
Regardless of whether he participated in the competition or not, he had a very happy time, which could be seen from the smile on his face.
Unlike when he was in the welfare home, Ning Buwen's smile was no longer the kind of well-behaved smile that was displayed for public display, but a true release of emotion from the heart.
Being in the orphanage is probably the time when children can hone their acting skills the fastest.
Before they receive systematic education, children can be said to be angels or demons.
Throughout history, many horrific things have happened in orphanages because they are full of children who have no ability to protect themselves. Therefore, in this era, orphanages have become the focus of attention of many youth organizations, human rights organizations, etc.
A minor checkup should be conducted every three days and a major checkup should be conducted every five days.
Such frequent inspections do ensure the safety of these children, but they also bring inevitable negative effects to these children. If a child in the welfare home shows any emotion such as being unhappy when facing these organization members, they will be induced to show concern and care, and asked whether there is anything illegal or unreasonable in the welfare home.
Everyone has down times, and children are no exception.
If you want to get rid of all this "love and care", you must learn to smile. If you smile sweetly and touchingly, it will be easy to be adopted by a family that wants to raise a child.
No matter how much support the government provides to welfare homes, it can never be as helpful as a family.
Ning Buwen has been different since he was a child.
When other children were beginning to learn to behave well, he was always secretly making trouble, trying to become the leader of the children.
While other children casually talk about an ideal and then forget about it, Ning Buwen is actually working hard for his ideal.
A child like Ning Buwen was undoubtedly not sociable, and his physical condition was not as strong as other children, so he was excluded by many children and suffered a lot. The reason why Ping Buwen had a good relationship with Ning Buwen was because Ping Buwen helped Ning Buwen to settle many things.
If a child like Ning Buwen were placed in another welfare home, he would definitely be educated properly. A child who is too unsociable would have a very difficult life.
But the director of the welfare home said that it’s okay to be a loner, as long as the child grows up healthily.
The dean is a very old grandfather. He smiles every day and gives names very casually.
The greatest happiness for a person is "peace and tranquility", so these four words became the surnames of this group of children.
In dealing with people, if one can "not listen, not ask, not care, not give a damn", one can be happy. So, this is their name.
Ping Bu Ran has a strong sense of justice, and after drawing this name, he is more convinced that he is born to be a policeman. Unfortunately, in this era, it is not so easy to be a policeman. You can only start from the patrol team and accumulate a certain amount of merit before you can become a policeman.
Originally, this was just an ordinary case of selling ordinary hot weapons.
This kind of small bomb can be made at home by ordinary high school students after buying the raw materials. It is not a big deal at all, so Ping Guru didn't take it too seriously. Just by relaxing his vigilance, he ended up in the current situation. It's really helpless.
"Since you insist on not posting it, I have to post it." The arms dealer took a photo of Ping Buguan being beaten and sent it to Ning Buwen.
Ning Buwen’s communicator is broken.
Sometimes it's just a coincidence.
Ning Buwen's communicator was basically unusable because it was severely interfered with by the opponent's equipment when he was competing with two cheating opponents in the semi-finals.
It doesn't matter if there is no communicator. Ning Buwen doesn't have many friends anyway. There are many ways to transmit information in this era. Just a broken communicator will not affect daily life.
Besides, Ning Buwen was really too busy to have time to get a new one.
As the day of the finals draws closer, there are countless people coming to interview Ning Buwen and trying to win him over. How can Ning Buwen care about anything else
It wasn't until the day before the final that a senior police officer came to the door with a document.
"Mr. Ning, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but I think we need to have a good talk."
The person who came was a senior police officer, followed by several of his men.
Although Ning Buwen was wondering why the police came to his door, he still opened the door.
"I wonder what you guys want to talk to me about?" Ning Buwen guessed that it was probably about the gambling competition. He didn't break the law at all. Could it be that the competition was illegal and should be cancelled? I'm a minor now, so I don't know if I can get a lighter sentence.
"Mr. Ning, did you know that Mr. Ping Buguan has been missing for several days?" Seeing that Ning Buguan seemed to have no idea what was going on, the police had to get straight to the point.
"What?" Ning Buwen almost thought he had heard it wrong, "He's missing? Impossible!"
"That's the truth," the policeman replied calmly. "Ping has been missing for more than three days. This is the report on his disappearance. You can take a look at it yourself."
"Sister Lele didn't tell me." Ning Buwen took the information and calmed down. "She met with me yesterday."
"Ms. An Lele probably doesn't want to distract you." The police officer looked at Ning Buwen and said, "I heard that you will be in the finals tomorrow."
Ning Buwen gritted his teeth and said nothing.
It is indeed possible that Sister Lele is hiding something from him.
But it’s just a competition. There will be one this year, next year and the year after. It doesn’t matter if you don’t win the championship. Runner-up is also fine.
"Sister Lele hid it from me, which means that no matter how missing he is, his life is not in danger. I remember that all patrol team members are equipped with a life display device. If they really died in the line of duty or are on the verge of death, the device will react."
This is also the key to the significant reduction in police mortality rate today.
If Ping Buguan really had a big problem, An Lele would not have told Ning Buwen. But at present, Ping Buguan was only missing, not in danger of life, so An Lele thought that the finals on Ning Buwen's side were more important.
"I don't think a patrol team member who has been missing for three days and is not in danger of life can be mobilized for action." Ning Buwen knew the police badges. The job levels of these people were much higher than those of ordinary policemen.
"Mr. Ning is a smart man." The police laughed. "In fact, we have almost found Ping Buguan's location. We can guarantee that Ping Buguan will be rescued safely. However, we also hope that Mr. Ning can do us a favor."
"I'm still a minor, so I'm afraid I can't help you."
"Mr. Ning, don't you like adventure?" The policeman looked at him with a smile, "I guarantee that this action will be more exciting than any entertainment activity you can imagine, Mr. Ning."
Ning Buwen was stunned.
He was moved.
In fact, he was determined to win the championship this time and didn't have to worry about his opponent making a comeback.
In other words, gambling competitions could no longer bring him much excitement.
"We have been investigating illegal activities in Las Vegas, but because too many countries are involved, the progress has been slow." The police looked at Ning Wen seriously and said, "The kidnapper this time is a multinational arms dealer. He is suspected of nearly twenty crimes, each of which is enough to put him in jail for death. But he ran to this city. Although we have enough evidence, diplomatic troubles prevent us from arresting him. So, we need your help."
"I can't help you with diplomatic issues at all." Ning Bu Wen thought for a moment calmly and answered.
"This is no longer a problem." The policeman's expression improved a lot. "It's all thanks to you, Mr. Ning."
"Me?" Ning Buwen just thought that if a pot fell from the sky while he was sitting at home, what did it have to do with him
"Originally, the arms dealer had a close relationship with the other high-ranking officials who hosted the competition. However, for some reason, the arms dealer wanted to attack you, and the other high-ranking officials distanced themselves from him. The forces behind these high-ranking officials will no longer protect the arms dealer at this point in time. In other words, now is our best chance to catch him."
"I don't understand what you are saying. Just tell me what I want you to do." Ning Buwen pretended not to understand even if he understood.
"I know you understand, Mr. Ning." The policeman smiled. "In fact, what we ask you to do is very simple. Just make sure you win tomorrow. The arms dealer may send you something tonight. We hope that no matter what you see or hear, it will not affect your mood, and you must not lose tomorrow's game for any other reason."
These policemen are here to give a vaccination.
Only if the arms dealer loses enough in tomorrow's game will he be exposed and brought to justice.
If Ning Buwen lost, then they would have missed the best opportunity at the moment.
"I understand." Ning Buwen was silent for a while and then said, "As long as you can ensure the safety of others, you don't have to worry about anything else."
"Then Mr. Ning doesn't have to worry."
…
"So you agreed to cooperate with the police?" Cheng Yuxue touched his chin and smiled as he looked at Ning Buwen who was immersed in memories.
"What else can I do?" Ning Buwen asked back.
"If it were me, I would probably find an opportunity to talk to the arms dealer." Cheng Yuxue thought for a moment and replied, "Then seriously injure him and hand him over to the organizer of the competition or Tan Laoban, killing him with a borrowed knife. In this way, I can protect Ping and establish my authority without dirtying my hands."
Ning Buwen looked at Cheng Yuxue in silence.
"I was only sixteen at the time."
Is it okay to be underage
A good friend was arrested and the police came to the door. Ning Buwen was not born like this, so why would he think about so many messed up things
Only Cheng Yuxue can use this method.
"Judging from your expression, what happened afterwards was probably completely beyond your expectations." Cheng Yuxue didn't need to listen to the rest of the story to know that Ning Buwen must have fallen flat on his face.
Ning Buwen is still too young at sixteen.
He may be invincible in gambling, but he is still too weak when it comes to matters involving huge interests.
How can the power of one person be compared with that of an organization or even a city
Cheng Yuxue didn't ask further.
It goes without saying that what happened after Ning Buwen and Heping had no regard for each other must have been very cruel, so cruel that Ning Buwen even lost his life.
It was not a good memory.
Therefore, Cheng Yuxue interrupted Ning Buwen's recollections and stopped him from continuing.
Cheng Yuxue's way of expressing tenderness is so unreasonable yet irresistible.
Thanks to Cheng Yuxue, Ning Buwen's face looked much better.
It's not fun to recall the past.
"I thought it was too simple at the time." Ning Bu Wen frankly admitted his mistake. "Although I won the championship smoothly, the arms dealer was not desperate. On the contrary, my cooperation with the police was leaked, which made the arms dealer kill Bu Liang."
Originally, if Ning Buwen won the championship, at most the arms dealer would just lose money.
But Ning Buwen cooperated with the police and wanted to kill the arms dealer.
Therefore, the other party will not hold back.
The amount of blood loss in a person can be so large...
It turns out that when people are sad, the sound of their crying is actually very low.
Ning Buwen could never forget the scene when he opened the door of An Lele's house and saw An Lele crying while hugging Ping Guang's body.
He originally thought it was just a small event, and his only responsibility was to win the championship. Everything else could be taken care of by others, and he just had to enjoy the feeling of adventure.
It turns out that isn't the case.
Every action you take, every word you say, can lead to the death of others.
He was just like the little girl who stood in front of the building and wanted to blow up the city. She thought she had the power to destroy the city, but in fact it was just a small bomb that could do nothing except hurt herself.
Ping Buguan's death is the first step to breaking Ning Buwen's cognition.
It was also the first time that Ning Buwen realized that the adventure he longed for was not just about himself, but that his friends around him might be hurt because of his childish behavior.
From before the end of the world to after the end of the world, Ning Buwen almost always lived alone.
In the previous rookie dungeon, he would rather act alone than team up with others. It was not until he gradually became stronger and began to have the power to protect others that Ning Buwen gradually began to accept the awareness of teamwork.
This is a very slow and difficult process.
However, Ning Buwen concealed the truth so well that no one would find out anything.
"You went to take revenge." Cheng Yuxue said affirmatively.
"Yes." Ning Buwen nodded. "After I win the championship, there will be a celebration party, and all the contestants will show up. That will be my best chance to get revenge, and I won't give up."
Even the arms dealer would not have thought that Ning Buyen would openly attack him at the banquet. The arms dealer thought that his actions were enough to scare a young man like Ning Buyen so much that he would never dare to ignore his words again.
Even a rabbit will bite when it is anxious.
Ning Buwen successfully killed the arms dealer, but he was also killed by the other party.
That banquet was completely closed because of Ning Buwen, and the follow-up of that game was not reported again. Ning Buwen also became the champion with the lowest presence after that game.
"What did you see?" Cheng Yuxue looked at Ning Buwen and asked, "Now, let's get to the point."
"Yes." Ning Buwen exhaled deeply, "I saw Boss Tan in that chaotic banquet."
"But, there were so many people at the banquet, and I was the only one who saw him."
