GOR Chapter 566 Unexpected Person
“Rules are rules.” Phoenix waved her hand and the man with the silver plate quickly stepped back out of the room.
After the door closed behind the man, everyone left inside the room turned quiet, as still as a cicada in winter.
Phoenix, on the other hand, smiled and gave the tiles on the table a push. “Are we still going to play?”
The punk man and the man in suit both gulped at the same time. “… … play! Play! If you are interested, we will accompany you.”
The old man in retro Tang suit trembled and said, “Ah, that…”
When he began speaking, his words carried with them a strong accent from southern China. “This old man is lacking in vigour … … that…”
Phoenix sighed. “Since you don’t want to play anymore, then forget about it. Let us call it a day for today.”
The old man in retro Tang suit quickly got up. He bowed to Phoenix and said, “This old man will head to the back accounting room and continue my work there.”
After saying that, the old man tried to hide his hastiness as he rushed off.
Phoenix turned to look at the punk man and the man in suit.
The woman behind her had already stepped forward to place a cut of hot tea before Phoenix.
Phoenix downed the cup of tea before slowly speaking up. “You two have been fighting bitterly for the past few days and quite a number of men had died as a result. Thus, I thought of this method of inviting you fellows over to play here. Whatever grievances you may have, end it by gambling on this game. The rules are fair and those who are willing to gamble must be willing to accept the loss. Save yourself from all that killing to the death. Are your subordinates’ lives not lives?”
Those words sounded compassionate. However, the two men were crying foul, inwardly. This little girl looked kind. However, who was the one who had someone else’s hand cut off just because of a disagreement just now?
Naturally, neither of them dared to voice out those words. They simply nodded their heads.
“I am no longer in the mood for it today. Let us call it a day. From tomorrow onward, I do not want to hear any more gunshots in the streets of Bucharest. As for the losses incurred today… … to whom should the street belong to, those who are willing to gamble must be willing to accept the loss. If you are unwilling to accept… …”
“Never! I would never dare!” The man in suit rapidly wiped the sweat on his forehead with a silk handkerchief.
“If so, then leave. I won’t be offering you supper.” Phoenix picked up her cup of tea.
The men from both parties quickly got up to leave, bringing their subordinates along with them as they left through the door.
Phoenix silently drank half the contents of the cup of tea and turned to check the time. A few minutes passed by.
She then placed down the teacup. The woman quickly moved over and said, “Boss… … about tonight…”
“There is no need to talk about it.” Phoenix shook her head.
“Someone was inquiring about you. I think it would be for the best to… …”
“No need.” Phoenix smiled. “The reason I asked you to come over is to bring the guest over.”
“… bring?” The woman’s face sank.
Phoenix sighed. “Head out… … when you reach the door, do not be surprised regardless of what you see. Just walk outside and join the fun for a bit. No matter what happens, do not panic and lose control of yourself. Just forget that it ever happened. Also, do not call for anyone. Do you understand?”
“Err…”
“Is there a need for me to repeat my words?” Phoenix frowned.
A trace of fear flashed across the woman’s eyes. She quickly shook her head and took a few steps backward. “If so, I will be heading out first, boss.”
Phoenix nodded in response.
The woman moved to the door. Opening the door, she stepped out.
After closing the door, she turned around. What she saw shocked her.
The several gun-bearing men stationed outside the room were all lying on the ground.
The iron door at the end of the corridor was open and the bodies of several subordinates could be seen lying on the ground as well.
Standing before the woman was a smiling Chen Xiaolian. “We meet again.”
Soo Soo stood behind Chen Xiaolian. She was playing around with a gun that she had picked up from one of the fellows on the ground. It was the one he holstered on his waist.
The woman’s subconscious reaction was to shout out in shock. However, as she was on the verge of screaming out, she recalled her boss’ words earlier.
No matter what happens… just forget that it ever happened.
She felt extremely shocked. However, she did her best to stop herself from shouting out. What shocked the woman the most was the casual look that Chen Xiaolian was giving her. He appeared unconcerned that she might call the bodyguards.
She took several deep breaths and suppressed the shock shaking her heart. Then, she spoke in a quavering voice, “Boss, the boss is waiting for you inside… … you, you may enter.”
