Xu Jin was silent. For so many years, her goal and meaning in life was to avenge Gao Fei. Although she was very worried about the gambling game that Zheng Yubai was going to have with Gao Fei, how could she let go of all the hatred at once
Seeing Xu Jin's expression, Zheng Yubai shook his head: "Now it's not just about revenge for you. Gao Fei and I will never change our agreement. Whether you like it or not, in three months, he and I will have a life-and-death gamble."
Xu Jin knew that Zheng Yubai was right. She lowered her head and asked softly, "Am I too willful?"
Zheng Yubai chuckled: "You just want to get back what he owes you, it's not a big deal. But life is not just about revenge. Regardless of whether I can help you get revenge successfully this time, I hope you can live well. After all, life is precious only once."
Xu Jin raised his head and looked into Zheng Yubai's eyes. There was a gentle light hidden in those dark pupils.
"I'm sorry..." Xu Jin suddenly burst into tears, "I lied to you."
"What did you say?" Zheng Yubai was shocked.
Xu Jin had tears in her eyes: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have made it to the finals and gambled your life with Gao Fei."
"What is going on?" Zheng Yubai's face darkened. He didn't mind helping Xu Jin to get revenge, but the premise was that he volunteered. Now Xu Jin's words had a hint of conspiracy, which made Zheng Yubai feel a little uneasy.
"In fact, Ye Yi and Feng Bazhi were both bribed by me. If I hadn't secretly asked them to let you win, you wouldn't have qualified." Xu Jin said.
Zheng Yubai immediately thought of what Xu Jin had said before, that she had arranged several people to participate in the competition. He did not expect that Ye Yi and Feng Bazhi were actually his people. Only then did he know that he, a rookie, was able to enter the finals because of Xu Jin's secret help.
"No wonder I could beat them so easily and enter the finals." Zheng Yubai suddenly realized.
"I took advantage of you... I'm sorry." Xu Jin's tears flowed down, her face was covered with tear marks, and she looked pitiful.
"Why did you do this?" Zheng Yubai asked.
"Gao Fei is too powerful. Neither Ye Yi nor Feng Bazhi can contend with him. But you are different. You and Du Bisheng came here together. You will definitely deal with Gao Fei together. Your chances of winning will be much greater." Xu Jin said slowly.
"Have you made up your mind from the beginning?" Zheng Yubai felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart. He trusted Xu Jin very much, but she schemed against him like this.
"I thought of this after you saved me that day." Xu Jin murmured.
Zheng Yubai was speechless. Who could he blame? Xu Jin just wanted to increase the insurance factor for his revenge. It seemed that he could only blame himself for being stupid enough to believe a woman's words.
Before coming to Beijing Maritime University, Zheng Yubai's mother once said something to him.
"Women love to lie. Don't believe what they say. The more beautiful a woman is, the more she loves to lie."
Later, when Zheng Yubai was reading Mr. Jin Yong's The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, he saw Yin Susu saying the same thing to Zhang Wuji, and he just laughed it off at the time. But now he feels that mothers in the world really love their children the most, and if you don't listen to their reminders, you will suffer.
"But I didn't expect Gao Fei to make a life-or-death bet with you." Xu Jin said anxiously, "I just want you to help me get revenge, and I don't want to hurt you."
"Is it still useful to say this now..." Thinking about how he was actually used by Xu Jin and had made a life-or-death bet with Gao Fei, Zheng Yubai felt that he was really too stupid.
"Will you...will you forgive me?" Xu Jin asked with tears in her eyes.
Zheng Yubai smiled bitterly. He didn't know whether he should forgive Xu Jin. If Xu Jin was plotting against him, that was not necessarily the case. She was just trying to increase the chances of successful revenge. But her actions did push her to the brink of a life-or-death gamble with Gao Fei.
This account is really confusing.
If I have to blame someone, I should blame him for being too impulsive. First, he agreed to help her get revenge on impulse, and then he agreed to Gao Fei's bet on impulse. When did I become such an impulsive person? However, now that things have come to this, whether I forgive Xu Jin or not, how can it help the situation
"Let's talk about this later. I'm very tired and need to rest." Zheng Yubai turned and left, hearing Xu Jin sobbing behind him.
After a day's journey, the gambling ship finally returned to Jinghai.
As soon as Yao Qian got off the boat, he rushed to unfreeze his bank account. His company had already had cash flow problems because of this. Business is like a battlefield, where a slight difference can determine life or death. Once the capital chain is broken, even if Yao Qian owns a business empire, there is only one way to go, which is to collapse. He was busy taking care of these life-and-death matters, and the matter of the Qingming Shanghe Tu was temporarily put on hold.
Another troublesome thing is Fang Hongjin. He has been elusive these days. No one knows what he is doing on the ship. Although he did not approach Tang Qing, Zheng Yubai is more cautious about him. However, in order to appease Tang Qing and let her go home obediently, Zheng Yubai can only repeat his promise to them: he will definitely plead for their relationship in front of his aunt and uncle.
The bet with Gao Fei was entrusted to the International Gambling Federation, and all Zheng Yubai had to do was to prepare to fight to the death.
After sorting out all the trivial matters on the boat, Zheng Yubai escorted Du Bisheng off the boat, and Yao Qian sent a car to take Du Bisheng to Jinghai Hospital for further observation and treatment. His condition has stabilized and his life should not be in danger. He is just still in a coma and it is unknown when he will wake up.
After settling Du Bisheng, the next most important task was to send Tang Qing home. After being missing for several days, my aunt and uncle must be worried sick.
The door opened with a bang, and my aunt stood at the door haggardly. When she saw Zheng Yubai and Tang Qing, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Qing'er, you're finally back!" Auntie yelled, startling Zheng Yubai. Before he could react, Auntie had already hugged Tang Qing in her arms and burst into tears.
Tang Qing also burst into tears, admitting her mistakes while crying. When her uncle asked about it, Zheng Yubai told her that she had gone to a classmate's house in another city. Her aunt and uncle just wanted to see Tang Qing come back, so they didn't ask any more questions.
Zheng Yubai did not forget what he promised Tang Qing. After his aunt calmed down, he talked about Fang Hongjin.
Aunt and uncle looked at each other, and it was obvious that they had already formed a preconceived opinion of Fang Hongjin. They could not accept their daughter being with a gangster.
Tang Qing secretly glanced at Zheng Yubai, and her expression clearly asked him to fulfill his promise, or at least make them stop objecting.
Zheng Yubai scratched his head, thinking that this matter was difficult to handle, but he had made a promise first, and Tang Qing had a lot of evidence against him. If the matter was not resolved well, she would sue him and everything would be over.
He pulled his uncle aside and said softly, "Uncle, you must also know about Dayu's flood control. The current situation is better to drain than to block. If we force her into a corner and she runs away again, it will be difficult to deal with."
"Let's think about this matter again." After all, the uncle was more reasonable and knew that he couldn't force Tang Qing any further. (To be continued)
