When I slowly pulled out the heavy pistol from my waist, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

Under the light, I could clearly see the scheming face of Hu Laosan. The pupils shrank slightly for a moment, but his expression remained calm as usual.

Cigar smoke swirled around him like an ominous fog.

After a long time, about thirty seconds, Hu Laosan, who was silent, finally moved.

His Adam's apple squirmed slightly, as if he was swallowing unspeakable fear, or a hidden conspiracy.

He took a deep breath from the cigar, the smoke lingering in the air, and then slowly spoke, his voice low and hoarse: "Yang Lei, actually we don't need to go to this step."

I smiled coldly, with coldness and sarcasm in my voice: "That's not necessary? Isn't this all a situation caused by your own hands?"

A trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed across Hu Laosan's face.

He sighed and said slowly: "Then just kill me."

A cold light flashed in my eyes: "You think I don't dare?!"

Just when I was about to take action, Zhao Min behind me suddenly reached out and put her hand on my shoulder. Her touch was like electricity, causing me to temporarily stop my movements.

Hu Laosan's gaze also shifted to her, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed across his eyes.

"Yang Lei, sometimes I really envy you. There will always be people around you to help you." Hu Laosan said with emotion, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Xiaoyuan, back then your sister...

Zhao Min's eyes were cold and she interrupted him coldly: "Don't talk about useless things. What qualifications do you have to mention the past?"

Hu Laosan shrugged and said no more.

I took a deep breath and quickly weighed the pros and cons in my mind.

The silence lasted for two or three minutes, and finally I spoke: "If you want to get out of here alive, then you have to give me a reason to let you go. What you just said is not enough..."

"Okay!" He looked relieved, "Then I will give you another reason... If you let me go, not only will you be able to give the Wa money to the Wei family, but He Hong will not cause trouble for you."

I raised my eyebrows, as if interested: "You want to say that you will take the blame for me?"

He nodded.

I couldn't help but laugh: "Third brother, do you think the living or the dead are more reliable? Wouldn't it be better if I killed you?"

He took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Do you really think that what you came to me for today is foolproof? Even if you trust the people around you, how can you ensure that the matter will not be leaked? Are you ready to kill everyone? Anyone who knows what happened today?”

When he said this, his eyes fell on Zhao Min again, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"I don't want much. I can give you all the money from the Wa State and take the rest with me. I will never set foot in Southeast Asia again in the future." Hu Laosan said slowly.

I was silent for a moment, the balance in my heart slowly tilted.

Facing Hu Laosan, my inner thoughts surged like a river.

I know that Hu Laosan's life and death involves a series of difficult things.

If he were alive, He Hong would undoubtedly start tracing the missing huge sum of money.

As long as Hu Laosan can't be found, everyone will think that the money is in his hands.

My original plan was to kill Hu Laosan, take all the money, and then give it to the Wei family.

Although this is simple and neat, He Hong will definitely have doubts about the flow of funds.

The whereabouts of this money is like a sword hanging above your head, which may fall at any time.

On the other hand, if I choose not to kill Hu Laosan and let him hand over the money to me, He Hong is less likely to have doubts.

Hu Laosan's willingness to take the blame for me in this game can be regarded as one of his survival strategies.

Under the current situation, it is impossible for Hu Laosan to go to He Hong to reveal the truth.

Once he dares to show his face, not only He Hong will hunt him down, but I will also get rid of him without hesitation to avoid future troubles.

This complex mental game forces me to make the best judgment in a split second.

What I need to measure is not just the immediate gains and losses, but also the possible ripple effects in the future.

Every choice may lead to a series of unpredictable consequences.

I spoke slowly, with a low but firm voice: "If I just let you go, I won't be able to do anything when I go back..."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"It's simple, leave something behind!"

My eyes drifted away from him, and Hu Laosan frowned.

After a moment, he seemed to have accepted his fate: "Okay, what do you want?"

I turned to Zhao Min and said, "Go and call the Dog King over."

She was a little confused, but she did as she was told.

A few minutes later, the dog king came to the living room. When he saw me, he couldn't help but cursed: "Yang Lei, draft mother! You piece of shit! Sooner or later, I will kill you!"

I smiled and was not at all offended by his insults.

"Third brother, if you want to leave, it's very simple. Leave your hands behind." I said slowly, "I know you may not be able to do it, so just let the old dog help you."

"Damn you!" The dog king glared at me and wanted to rush forward.

"Wang He!" Hu Laosan shouted and stopped him.

"Third brother..."

"Do as he says!"

Hu Laosan took a deep breath and rolled up his sleeves.

The dog king looked hesitant and couldn't make a move at all.

I asked Zhao Min to put a kitchen knife on the table and admire everything in front of him as if he were watching a play.

"Third brother..." The dog king's voice was hoarse, and the veins on his neck were surging. He gritted his teeth and knelt in front of me.

His behavior surprised me.

"Yang Lei! I know I was wrong in many places before... I hope you can show mercy..." He lowered his head like a tamed lion.

"As long as you let Third Brother go, I can do anything you want, even if you want my life, I can give it to you!"

I didn't expect that this guy, Dog King, would be willing to do this for Hu Laosan.

"Wang He!" Hu Laosan shouted, "Get the fuck up!"

The dog king turned to look at him: "Third brother! From the day I followed you, I told you that my life, Wang He, belongs to you. If you need it one day, I will never say no!" "

Hu Laosan sighed deeply and slowly closed his eyes. His face was very complicated.

"Yang Lei! I will die for third brother!" The dog king looked at me word by word and said.

I looked at him and pursed my lips: "Old dog, to be honest, I didn't want to do anything to you at all... Besides, do you think your life can be compared with the third brother's life?"

"Then what do you want?" He gritted his teeth.

"You chop his hand off, and you both can leave alive!"

The dog king stared at me, and Hu Laosan spoke again: "Wang He, don't waste time, do as he says!"
