The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

He then instructed his younger brother, Zongshi, "Zongshi, don't just sit here idly. The flour mill seems to be lagging behind lately. Go keep an eye on it; we have a batch of goods that needs to be rushed out in the next couple of days..."

"Okay, big brother!"

"Um..."

Wan Shi nodded upon seeing this.

Without saying anything more, he turned around and walked towards the door.

He does indeed have an important shipment to hand over tonight.

But when he reached the door, his steps slowed down.

Although he was very confident, Qi Tai's reminder just now still made him a little wary.

He paused for a few seconds.

He turned away and left with a single sentence.

"You all need to be careful. Keep the real weapons on you. Be extra vigilant tonight!"

"yes, Sir!"

"..."

......

the other side.

After hanging up the phone, Ding Xin rubbed his face.

The emotions you just acted out were quite realistic; you were a bit too over-the-top with your expressions.

but.

This Wan Shi is really something else, he doesn't take himself seriously at all...

Raising prices at the last minute is clearly extortion!

Give me money? Two hundred billion?

That's just wishful thinking!

Everything Ding Xin did.

It's all just a ploy to lure them in and buy them time.

Why did Ding Xin, who clearly wanted to save people, act so stubborn during their first phone call?

On the one hand, he wanted to find out what Wan Shi, that bastard, was capable of, and on the other hand, he wanted to leave him with the impression that he was a hothead.

What does "a hothead" represent?

Impulsiveness is easy to deal with...

Why did Ding Xin back down again during the second phone call?

This was to give Wan Shi the impression that the woman was very important.

In certain specific contexts, "very important" means "very safe"!

In addition, Ding Xin specifically designated a day for fundraising.

This is like adding a double layer of insurance.

After all, since we've decided to help rescue her, let's try our best to get her back safe and sound.

As for the two calls that came to say that everything was alright.

Ding Xin glanced at Jiang Dongzhe, who was holding up his phone and showing a tender side not far away.

The first call was to put this guy's mind at ease.

The second call was unnecessary for Jiang Dongzhe; it was merely to temporarily reassure those three scoundrels.

After all, people tend to make their own inferences subconsciously.

Since Ding Xin had asked for these two phone calls to report that he was safe.

In their minds, this would create a fixed impression that Ding Xin would not make any other underhanded moves.

This is what we call a fixed mindset...

Chapter 166 The Dejected Man

During the conversation between Ding Xin and Wan Shi.

A person Ding Xin knows about, but doesn't know when he'll appear...

A pawnshop owner, known in Wanshikou as a brute...

Preparations for the operation are underway...

......

sunset.

Inside a dilapidated rental room.

A slightly颓废-looking long-haired man stood quietly in front of the mirror.

His gaze was deep and resolute.

He was shirtless, his strong body covered with bullet scars and knife marks of all sizes.

His name is Cha Tae-sik.

He was once an outstanding special forces soldier.

Years ago, he lost his beloved wife and their unborn child due to an enemy's revenge.

From then on, he became a walking corpse.

later.

A ray of hope appeared in his life.

And now, a group of vicious criminals has once again robbed him of his hope.

He tilted his head and looked at himself in the mirror with a blank expression.

anger!

Extreme anger!

An uncontrollable rage was brewing...

He lowered his head, carefully examining the blade in his hand, gently touching it and feeling its sharpness.

His movements were very light and slow.

No one knows what he is thinking at this moment.

next second.

He gripped the sharp blade, straightened his long hair, and slowly leaned closer.

One cut, two cuts...

The blade glided lightly across the long hair, each movement steady and crisp.

It was as if a special ritual was being performed.

As his long hair fell, Cha Tae-sik's face gradually became clearer.

His features were more defined, his lines more angular, and his cold, stern face exuded an aura of determination and ruthlessness.

His expression remained unchanged throughout.

He brushed away the stray hairs on his head.

In a daze, he saw his former self in the mirror again.

He gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

Che Tae-sik was wearing a black fitted suit that had been prepared beforehand.

I moved my hands and feet a little.

He turned and walked to the table to the side, skillfully picked up the pistol placed on it, gently stroked the gun, and felt the coolness of the metal.

He then gripped the gun with one hand and held it to his ear.

"Crack! Click!"

His eyes were focused and sharp as he listened intently to the sounds of the bolt, firing pin, and the friction and impact of the mechanism as the pistol was cocked.

No detail is missed.

The hunt is about to begin...

......

Kinmen Building.

Nineteenth floor, executive office.
