Chapter 477: 473. A Heaven-Startling High-Stakes Gamble (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)
Chai Gou looked at Qiu Qianyang with some panic at this moment and said, "Boss, they must have teamed up to frame me. You have to believe me."
Qiu Qianyang also frowned slightly at this time, looked at Fan Hong, and said, "Is everything you said true?"
"It is true. The item is right here. If you don't believe it, you can take a look." As he spoke, he took a USB flash drive out from his person.
Ever since he was caught, he understood that he also needed some bargaining chips to save his life, so he had kept it on him the whole time.
No one looked at the USB drive; since Fan Hong dared to take it out now, it proved that it could not be fake.
Qiu Qianyang took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Ran, saying, "Mr. Zhang, my man was in the wrong regarding this matter. I am here to apologize to you on his behalf."
As he spoke, he actually bowed to Zhang Ran, but the next moment he said, "How about this, I will definitely give Mr. Zhang a satisfactory explanation."
Saying this, he signaled for the people beside him to take Chai Gou away.
Chai Gou was very cooperative and did not resist. He knew that at most he would be reprimanded; after all, he had made quite a few contributions to Qiu Qianyang over these years.
Zhang Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "Just like that?"
"Is Mr. Zhang not satisfied?" Qiu Qianyang said.
"What if I say I want to take the person away?" Zhang Ran said.
"Mr. Zhang, I already said I would give you an explanation," Qiu Qianyang said with a heavier tone.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and some onlookers nearby subconsciously backed away. Was this about to turn into a complete falling out?
If Qiu Qianyang let Zhang Ran take Chai Gou away this time, it would be equivalent to being slapped in the face by Zhang Ran. Not being able to even protect his own subordinate was somewhat bad in their line of work.
Although Chai Gou had made a mistake first, if he were to be punished, it had to be done by Qiu Qianyang himself.
Zhang Ran laughed and said in a calm tone, "What if I don't want your explanation? I came here today to take him away. What? Are you going to stop me?"
"Mr. Zhang, I must take the person away. I will say it again, I will definitely give you an explanation," Qiu Qianyang frowned and said.
"Heh, fine, take him away then," Zhang Ran suddenly changed his tune.
The others were all stunned for a moment. He gave in so quickly?
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Zhang," Qiu Qianyang said, appearing to heave a sigh of relief, while Chai Gou's eyes were even more triumphant.
However, Zhang Ran's next words made everyone nearby tremble in their hearts, especially Fan Hong and the others.
"Mr. Qiu, if this Chai Gou can live to see tomorrow's sun, I, Zhang Ran, will kneel down and kowtow to apologize to you." After Zhang Ran finished saying this, he turned and walked away.
Once these words were out, it was equivalent to saying it would be a fight to the death.
Qiu Qianyang was also suddenly at a loss; he seemed not to have expected that things would develop to such a point.
He knew the ins and outs of the matter, and he knew that Fan Hong and the others had all escaped, but they were caught back in less than two days. This was enough to show that Zhang Ran possessed extraordinary power.
Just after Zhang Ran had walked two steps, Qiu Qianyang actually backed down first, "Mr. Zhang, please stay."
Zhang Ran stopped and looked at him.
Qiu Qianyang said, "Does Mr. Zhang really have to take his life? His crimes shouldn't be punishable by death, right?"
"Yes, they aren't right now, but the moment you take him away, they will be," Zhang Ran said in a flat tone.
"Then if I hand him over to you, Mr. Zhang, how do you intend to deal with him?" As soon as these words were out, Chai Gou immediately began to struggle.
Qiu Qianyang looked at Chai Gou and said, "Doggy, it's not that I won't protect you, but that protecting you is equivalent to harming you."
Once these words were out, Chai Gou immediately went quiet. What did Qiu Qianyang mean by this?
Was he saying that even if he were in Macau, he had no way to stop Zhang Ran?
At this moment, Chai Gou's heart suddenly turned cold, and the look he gave Zhang Ran was filled with terror.
He had never imagined that he would actually fall because of this.
Zhang Ran answered Qiu Qianyang's question at this time, "How I deal with him depends on his attitude and what he has done."
Qiu Qianyang ultimately did not forcibly keep Chai Gou, but when Zhang Ran was about to leave, Qiu Qianyang called him back again.
"Mr. Zhang, since you've come to our side, why not play a little?" Qiu Qianyang said with a calm expression.
Zhang Ran looked at him and smiled, "Want to get back at me at the gambling table?"
Qiu Qianyang did not speak, but the meaning was very clear.
Zhang Ran originally couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side, "That's right, Mr. Zhang, since you've arrived in Macau, it would be a bit boring not to play a few rounds."
Zhang Ran turned his head to look and discovered it was actually Mu Jinyuan; this guy had come too.
In fact, ever since Zhang Ran entered Macau, Mu Jinyuan had received the news and had been paying attention to this side at all times.
Zhang Ran revealed a playful look and said, "What if I don't want to play?"
"I remember Mr. Zhang used to be very bold. Why is your courage getting smaller and smaller now? I really feel it wasn't worth it for people like Tian Yaohui to have lost to the current you," Mu Jinyuan said with a smile, but his words carried a mocking tone.
"Heh, what? You want to gamble with me too? Are you worthy?" Zhang Ran sneered.
Seeing Zhang Ran go head-to-head with Mu Jinyuan like this, some people who didn't know the truth were a bit dumbfounded. What was going on?
Mu Jinyuan's expression was very calm and he was not angered by Zhang Ran's mockery, "Zhang Ran, perhaps you can act recklessly for a moment in the mainland, but I want to tell you that you are in Hong Kong and Macau now, not a place where you can run wild as you please."
"If you had just stayed in the mainland honestly and been a wealthy man honestly, wouldn't that be better? Why, at a time like this, do you still have to come out and cause trouble?"
Zhang Ran stopped walking and just looked at Mu Jinyuan quietly, "Do you know that your provocation tactic is very low-level?"
Mu Jinyuan narrowed his eyes. Of course he knew, but could Zhang Ran not see through even a clever provocation tactic?
So it was better to be low-level like this; at the very least, it could anger Zhang Ran.
Clearly, he had succeeded.
Only to hear Zhang Ran say, "However, you have successfully angered me. Fine, I will gamble with you, but I won't play if the stakes are too small; it's boring."
A hint of joy flashed in Mu Jinyuan's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Qiu Qianyang, who was on the side, seemed even angrier than him and spoke directly, "Small money is naturally boring. Let's put up five billion each."
Once these words were out, everyone nearby was stunned, including Wang Chen. Five billion? Were they crazy?
Even Mu Jinyuan was slightly taken aback, but he quickly nodded and said, "Indeed, it's boring if it's too small. If Mr. Zhang doesn't have the money, I can lend you some."
The mockery in the last sentence was very strong; anyone could hear it. At the same time, it was once again provoking Zhang Ran and playing psychological warfare.
