sincerity of lies

"Is your body okay?"

"Good."

"What about here?" Mr. Liu pointed to the kidney with his hand.

"Not bad." Chen Jiashu replied, bowing to Mr. Liu, "I'm sorry for your trouble."

"Everything has its value." Mr. Liu smiled, "I won't let you accept my favor. Compared with favor, I want to chat with you about transactions."

Chen Jiashu showed an interested look.

Just as Mr. Liu was about to speak, there was another ear-piercing noise from behind.

It was the tall man walking down from the black platform with the beauty beside him, which caused everyone to cheer for the hero.He is a hero, he is a star, all the lights are focused on him at this moment, as he walks through the aisle, the masked bosses around him are crowding and shoving wildly, leaning towards him and stretching out their hands, expecting to shake hands with him Like expecting to be kissed by Lady Luck.

The carnival continues.

The champagne tower was divided instantly, red wine, whiskey, and various alcoholic beverages were all opened, and the liquor was sprayed into the sky to vent the happiness that everyone had not exhausted compared to the beast.

Some people even rushed to the black stage.

They touch the blood of dead women.

Blood was smeared wantonly by them, and they laughed.

The only thing out of place in the warm atmosphere may be the woman in the arms of the tall man.

The luxuriously dressed woman, like an exquisite marionette, was led around by the owner and displayed everywhere.

Mr. Liu stopped talking: "It's too late today. Please let the master welcome the new guests first, and then talk about other things." He called the waiter, "Take Mr. Chen and his friends to the guest room to rest."

Waiter: "Yes, sir."

"Of course," Mr. Liu said again, "if you want to try your luck, just go in. Tonight, if you win, it's yours, and if you lose, I'll pay. But the most exciting part of tonight is over, and the rest, Maybe less flavor."

The frozen body began to thaw gradually.

Since Mr. Liu walked over, Meng Lingshan, who stood beside Chen Jiashu like an ice sculpture, was finally able to control his eyes and cast a glance at Chen Jiashu's face.

He clearly saw that Chen Jiashu's nose twitched slightly, as if intending to move.

But Chen Jiashu is different from his fearless younger brother Chen Jiahe, he is a cautious person.He looked at the reveling casino where demons danced wildly, and finally shook his head: "I'm tired today, I'll go upstairs to rest first."

Mr. Liu didn't ask to stay, but just watched with a smile.

Meng Lingshan followed Chen Jiashu and boarded the sightseeing glass elevator led by the waiter.

When he entered the elevator, he saw numbers 1-3 distributed on the panel. This is a giant cruise ship with at least 3 floors. Standing in the transparent elevator, there are brilliant lights, crowds of people, scattered card tables, and... The shadow of Mr. Liu outside the casino.

That gloomy, twilight shadow carrying the breath of death first stayed in Meng Lingshan's retina, and then entered Meng Lingshan's brain, together with the repeated gunshots and the continuous explosion of blood. It constitutes Meng Lingshan's dream tonight.

At the end of the dream, he saw that woman...

dead woman.

I don't know if it's the woman approaching him or he approaching the woman. The woman who was originally far away from him appeared in front of him, at an arm's length away from him, and at the position where his face was next to his face.

The ribbons wrapped around the woman's eyes caught fire and burned.

Ashes fell from the woman's face, and he finally saw her eyes clearly, a pair of venomous eyes.

The eyes are saying:

save me...why not save me...

Meng Lingshan woke up from his dream.

His hands scratched at his chest twice, until he grasped the metal boy pendant hanging on his chest through his clothes, and then he seemed to grasp the anchor in the turbulent drift and calm down.

He turned over from the bed and sat up, looking at his watch.

five o'clock in the morning.

He reached for the curtains again.

The cruise ship is very big, and there is enough space to plan the room. The waiter brought them up yesterday. Chen Jiashu lived in a suite with a balcony with a view and a double jacuzzi. When you open the curtains, you can see the sea scenery.

Dawn is earlier at sea than on land.

The dark haze I saw when boarding the boat last night actually dissipated a lot under the auspicious light of the eastern sky. As far as I could see, there was an endless dark blue sea and light gray clouds rolling over the sea.

The sun hadn't quite come out yet.

But the sun will come out eventually.

Meng Lingshan thought silently, he didn't stay in the room for too long, he came out soon after washing up, and took the elevator back to the first floor - where they came in yesterday.

Five o'clock in the morning is a wonderful time.

Those who go to bed late have already gone to bed, and those who get up early have not yet woken up.

Meng Lingshan wanted to do something while less people were paying attention, for example, in the name of Chen Jiashu, he asked the waiter in the casino what happened to the black table and the women here last night.

But he made a mistake. When he came to the first floor, he saw not only the waiters on duty in the casino, but also many gamblers.

These gamblers - their clothes are messy, with residues of wine and food on them, their eyes are red, and half of the masks on their faces can't cover their decadence and trance. Go up, hold the checkbook, and wave it towards Meng Lingshan.

They have only one purpose:

"A chip deal? 1000 million one."

Meng Lingshan was not the first person to be stuffed under his nose with a checkbook. There was another person in front of him. The back of that person looked familiar, and it was Abin.

When Meng negative mountain saw A Bin, A Bin also saw Meng negative mountain.

The two looked at each other.

Meng Lingshan's heart sank slightly, but his footsteps did not stop. He walked past those gamblers who were calling for deals, and walked to Abin's side: "Brother sent you down?"

"Yeah." Abin.

"What does elder brother want to know?" He tried his best to keep his tone relaxed and natural.

"Black tables and chips." Abin said succinctly.

The bodyguard who followed Chen Jiashu silently on weekdays seemed to have just arrived, and now he was looking at the waiter in the black tuxedo with his eyes, waiting for the waiter's answer.

Meng Lingshan noticed that the waiter standing here today was not any one he saw yesterday.

But they have the same smile carved out of the same ruler.

Polite, lifeless.

"Hello, sir. There is only one chip we can use here. The lady who handed it over to the boss yesterday. A lady worth a thousand chips."

Meng Lingshan knew where the price of 1000 million came from.

"There are many gaming tables here." The waiter continued to introduce, "The amount on each table is different, the lowest is 0.1 chips, and the highest is 100 chips. No matter how much the boss loses, as long as it is still within the range of 1000, follow the The lady next to the boss will faithfully accompany the boss, but if the boss sends out the last 0.1 chips, then this lady will leave the boss's side—correspondingly, if the boss's lucky star shines brightly, the fortune will win If you get 1000 chips or more, then every time the boss gets a new thousand chips, he will have a new lady."

Hearing this, Meng Lingshan asked, "Can I buy chips with money?"

The waiter replied: "No. Mr. Liu hopes that all the guests on board can get greater happiness for free."

Of course, free is the most expensive.

Since the government does not allow transactions, private transactions and transfers are naturally rampant.For example, gamblers who are still holding checks and looking forward to buying chips.

"Where is the black table?" A Bin didn't have so many questions like Meng Lingshan, he only urged the waiter to clarify what he wanted to ask.

"Heitai is the highest-standard table here." When he said this, the waiter puffed up his chest, and he even showed a look of reverence, "Every night, we only open one black table. The chip is 1000. You can bring her to the black table only if you own her in full - the lady. The rules of the black table are different from other tables. It means that you will lose her forever..."

During the meaningful pause of the waiter, everyone present remembered what they saw yesterday.

The dazzling bright red soaked through the countertop, rose from the ground, and lingered in the wine glasses of the bosses.

The rules here are not complicated.

After figuring out the rules, the two ignored the gamblers around who wanted to trade, and took the sightseeing elevator together to go upstairs.

Sitting on the elevator again, Meng Lingshan already understood the secret of Mr. Liu's long-term win over of these bosses.

organ.

gamble.

woman.

kill.

Apart from the original organs, the remaining three were also fully displayed yesterday.

It is also very simple to get out of this kind of trap, as long as you don't gamble.

Can I not gamble?

of course can.

Meng Lingshan thought, when Chen Jiashu didn't want to gamble yesterday, Mr. Liu didn't even try to persuade him.

But everyone — the vast majority — will eventually bet on it.

Those who can come here are those who knowingly plundered other people's organs.

After arriving here, they were in this lively, spacious place, accompanied by beauties, all the windows were covered by red velvet curtains, no matter it was daylight or dark, no matter it was windy or rainy, it was completely invisible. .

All the bosses could see was women, chips, soul-stirring gambles, and thrilling executions.

Gambling, women, killing.

Just stay here.

No one can escape.

When Meng Lingshan and A Bin entered Chen Jiashu's suite together, Chen Jiashu was already up, wearing a hotel bathrobe, sitting on the balcony with a view.

Meng Lingshan noticed that the woman who was sent to Chen Jiashu yesterday, Chenchen, was also there.

She was sitting on the inside of the room, behind the glass door of the balcony, and in front of her was a jacuzzi for two.She changed out of yesterday's gorgeous outfit that was almost invisible, wearing a loose cotton white skirt, she put her hand into the bathtub filled with water, fiddled with her thin white fingers The circle of ripples looks just like the girl next door playing in the water.

If she doesn't show up here.

If her eyes were not covered with ribbons.

Behind that thin ribbon, what is entangled, could it be a pair of eyes with the same hatred as in the dream?

For a moment, Meng Lingshan had the urge to tear off the ribbon.

Impulse will only do bad things.

Meng Lingshan passed by Chenchen without looking sideways, walked into the balcony, and came to Chen Jiashu's side.

Chen Jiashu withdrew his gaze into the distance: "Have you had breakfast?"

Meng Lingshan: "No."

Chen Jiashu: "Sit down together."

All kinds of delicacies have been placed on the table in the balcony. Although the styles are not as many as the buffet that was placed outside last night, they are more exquisite but even worse.

Chen Jiashu moved his chopsticks slightly, not looking very appetizing. He pressed the corner of his mouth with a tissue and asked Meng Lingshan, "Where did you meet Abin?"

"downstairs."

"Have you also heard the explanation of the black table and the chips?"

"Yes." Meng Lingshan truthfully conveyed the waiter's reply to Chen Jiashu.The matter that Chen Jiashu told Abin was finally conveyed by Meng Lingshan. Although there were some factors of coincidence, the more important thing was that Abin was Chen Jiashu's shield, and the shield did not need self-awareness.But now Chen Jiashu needs another head with autonomous consciousness to analyze problems for him.

Sure enough, after listening to it, Chen Jiashu opened his mouth and asked:

"Mr. Liu said yesterday that he wanted to do business with me. What do you think?"

All communication tools were confiscated.

Chen Jiashu had only Abin and me by his side.

He absolutely believed in Abin, but Abin would not give an opinion.So my opinion is a reference, the only reference, for him.Meng Lingshan pondered.

"Mr. Liu wants to set foot in Ning City." Meng Lingshan said.

"Mr. Liu has power in Ning City." Chen Jiashu said.

"It used to be, but I'm afraid not now."

Chen Jiashu focused his eyes on Meng Lingshan's face.

"Police." Meng Lingshan said.

"Yes, the police... Our Mr. Liu has a little trouble in Ning City. His influence in Ning City is either under the stalking of the police, or he is already injured. No matter what, he needs Cooperate with me to build an underground bridge to Ning City again." Chen Jiashu tapped his finger on the table, "The times have changed, and legends at home and abroad should also be cautious."

In the dark world, Mr. Liu certainly deserves the phrase "a legend at home and abroad".

Meng Lingshan was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe it's not just Ningshi..."

He thought of Qinshi.

In order to test him, Chen Jiashu led him to Qinshi to kidnap Fu Baoxin.He worked hard to understand Fu Baoxin.Knowing that Fu Baoxin has a sister Fu Baoling who disappeared many years ago.

Judging from various clues, Mr. Liu's handwriting of Fu Baoling's disappearance is the work of Mr. Liu, and now Fu Baoling's kidney is also in Chen Jiashu's stomach.

Ji Xun has come into contact with Fu Baoxin, will Ji Xun find any suspicious points in the other's family?

Disciplinary inquiry meeting.

Because he is Ji Xun.

After contacting again, there was a port bombing in Qinshi that made the news... Maybe... Very likely... Mr. Liu has been caught by the tail of the police, and the police are searching for Mr. Liu's giant ship in the dark with searchlights .

This giant ship sailing like a palace on the ocean is not as indestructible as it looks.

Chen Jiashu first frowned slightly, and then smiled: "Not at all. In such a situation, Mr. Liu can still hold parties as usual? Are you still in the mood to watch the casino here?"

Meng Lingshan glanced at Chen Jiashu and remained silent.

Although Chen Jiashu is cautious, he is also conceited.My own words are the only reference, but not a necessary reference.Talking too much and being too positive will only arouse Chen Jiashu's suspicion.

Their conversation was over, and he finished his breakfast, then put down the tableware, stood up and said goodbye to Chen Jiashu.

Chen Jiashu did not persuade him to stay.

When Meng Lingshan left, he glanced at the bathtub. Chenchen was gone, and there was only a tub of stagnant water left, which did not move.

He left the room and stood in the corridor.

There was no one in the corridor, only the paintings and animal heads hanging on the wall, following him and staring at him with rigid and empty eyes.

He thought back to his conversation with Chen Jiashu.

My guess should be right.

As long as Ji Xun is around, he will not let the prisoner escape simply.

But it doesn't make sense...

Now that Mr. Liu has been targeted, why didn't Mr. Liu go into hibernation for a while, instead, he took the initiative to contact Chen Jiashu and cooperate with Chen Jiashu?

Cooperative business is all about money.

Is Mr. Liu still short of money?

There is no shortage of Mr. Liu.

No money, no power.

He is the uncrowned king of this ship, and all the people on the ship are under his control. The hall with a narrow entrance and a very wide belly is like a pocket. Mr. Liu standing at the entrance, the dark one The shadow is like the drawstring of this pocket...

Tighten the drawstring, and you will die; loosen the drawstring, and you will go crazy...

A flash of inspiration, like an electric current, suddenly flew across the back of Meng Lingshan's head!

When being followed by the police, with the normal thinking of any normal person, he would choose to avoid the edge temporarily.

Of course, Mr. Liu also has normal thinking.

Then the reason why he is eager to cooperate with Chen Jiashu is probably——

Misfortune is diverted to the east, and the golden cicada escapes its shell!

He wanted Chen Jiashu, who was also in the smuggling business, to be his scapegoat!
