Qin Wan’s gun veered off course, and the bullet grazed past his ear. Rong Li instinctively raised his hand to cover his ear, experiencing a ringing sensation and sharp pain. For a few seconds, his hearing was impaired, and anger surged within him. This woman must be out of her mind, actually daring to shoot!

“Don’t provoke me!” Qin Wan’s eyebrows furrowed with anger. “I have an impulsive personality, and I act without considering the consequences. Don’t push your luck!”

She bolstered her gun, mounted her motorcycle, and drifted away. Rong Li wasn’t one to be taken advantage of. He aimed his gun at her back, hitting the motorcycle’s rear tire. Qin Wan liked to ride fast, and when she accelerated, it was intense. The bullet precisely pierced the rear tire, causing the entire motorcycle to malfunction and come to an abrupt stop. Due to inertia, Qin Wan was thrown off and collided with a rock. She hadn’t even been wearing a helmet, and blood instantly splattered half of her face.

Qin Wan,”…”

Fuck!

Rong Li tossed his cigarette butt aside, drove past her leisurely, and deliberately rolled down the window, stopping to say, “Oh dear, you’ve ruined your face. Remember to go to the hospital for stitches; 1’11 reimburse the medical expenses.”

He drove away triumphantly.

Qin Wan pounded her fist on the ground, her eyes filled with fury. She should have shot off one of Rong Li’s ears just now!

Dr. North sent someone to pick her up. When they saw her covered in blood, they were startled. However, Qin Wan didn’t care much, saying, “It doesn’t matter!”

“What do you mean it doesn’t matter? Let’s go to the hospital!” Dr. North was furious as she escorted Qin Wan to the hospital. She found a tool herself to stitch her wound, which was on the back of her head, quite a large gash that required shaving a portion of her hair for the stitching.

Qin Wan resisted, “1 don’t want to; I’ll be bald.”

“If we don’t shave it, how can we stitch it?” Dr. North ignored her protests and proceeded to shave the area before stitching it up with eight stitches. Qin Wan was seething with anger. She would definitely settle this blood debt with Rong Li!

After the stitches were done, her hair was tied up to conceal the shaved spot. However, Qin Wan still felt a strange emptiness at the back of her head, which was uncomfortable. Dr. North said, “Why did you provoke Rong Li?”

“He provoked me first!”

“You fired the first shot!”

Frustrated, Qin Wan simply ignored Dr. North, who, in turn, was torn between concern and helplessness. The stitches she received didn’t seem to bother her much, and Dr. North had other matters to attend to, so he left her be.

Rong Li was on the island, and Ji Chi must also be on the island. They had split up, but what was Ji Chi up to?

Ji Chi was playing in the casino, a wealthy and extravagant figure. In just one hour, he lost ten million yuan. Wearing a white shirt, jeans, and a stud earring in his left ear, he looked like a spoiled young master, rich and foolish, lavishly spending his fortune.

Casinos loved customers like him, and a crowd had gathered around to watch the spectacle. Because of his extravagant losses, he was the center of attention. The most ridiculous thing was that he even took out one million yuan to bet with tourists on a simple game of odds, with a 50-50 chance of winning.

The dealer frowned as she watched him lose more and more money, but Ji Chi, the more he lost, the more excited he became, practically throwing money around.

On the other side, Dr. North also noticed Ji Chi’s situation. “Don’t worry about him. He’s just one person deliberately drawing our attention. Ji Chi and Rong Li wouldn’t be alone on the island. Let’s see what the others are up to. If Ji Chi wants to play, let him play.”

Qin Wan couldn’t help but feel something was amiss. Why was Ji Chi making such a high-profile appearance at the casino, throwing money around?

Meanwhile, Rong Li was diligently investigating Tang Mingzhou’s case.

Ji Chi seemed to be at ease in the casino, and the dealers advised him to stop while he was ahead. Ji Chi blinked and said, “A thousand gold pieces can’t buy my willingness. Deal the cards.”

It seemed he wasn’t very skilled at Texas Hold’em, as he called regardless of his hand, and when the cards were revealed, he consistently had lousy hands. However, more and more people were attracted to him because of his extravagant spending. After two hours of losing, Ji Chi had an incredible stroke of luck and got a winning hand, recouping his losses.

“Oh my, lucky me,” he said with delicate features, clean eyes, and youthful attire that made him look like an innocent young man. The wealthy players who had lost money couldn’t see through his act.

They played another round, and without a doubt, Ji Chi had another good hand.

People started to catch on; this was his style. He called every hand regardless of its quality, and with his deep pockets, he either won big with a strong hand or lost miserably with a weak one.

Playing this way required a substantial bankroll, and not everyone could afford it.

“I’m done. Why is everyone leaving? Come on, I haven’t had enough fun yet. Don’t you want to turn your fortunes around?” Ji Chi watched the wealthy players rise from their seats. They weren’t interested in playing with this inexperienced young man.

Ji Chi raised an eyebrow, and the casino staff came over to count the chips. They handed him a check.

The dealer said, “Congratulations, sir, you’ve won quite a bit of money tonight.”

“Even after dealing cards to me all night, you still didn’t recognize me, did you, Mr. Tang Mingzhou?” Ji Chi’s smile faded slightly as he looked at the dealer, seemingly amused. “Your observation skills are lacking.”

The dealer’s smile froze. “Sir, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I don’t understand.”

Ji Chi lightly tapped the table, picking up two chips and tossing them to Tang Mingzhou. “Consider it a tip.”

The dealer accepted his chips. This scene was not uncommon in the casino; customers who won money often tipped the dealers. “If you don’t want to draw attention, follow me quietly. The Triad members are all over the island. It’s up to you whether you want to walk with me or with them. Your choice.”

Ji Chi walked away, quickly disappearing into the bustling casino.

Behind the casino, inside the car…

Ji Chi had received a call from Tang Mingzhou and had also informed Rong Li. Tang Mingzhou hadn’t removed his disguise yet. “How did you recognize me?”

“Cutting-edge technology,” Ji Chi replied nonchalantly. This technology wasn’t fully mature yet, and it was the first time he had used it, but he had no intention of revealing that to Tang Mingzhou. “You led us to Paradise Island. What’s your plan?”

Just as they were talking, Rong Li opened the car door and got in. Ji Chi started the car and drove away.

Tang Mingzhou taunted with a smirk, “Lu Zhiyuan sent two inexperienced youngsters to Paradise Island?”

Rong Li was even more acerbic in his response. “Back in the day, you were taken down by the so-called ‘inexperienced Third Master.’ Disrespecting the younger generation led to that fate.”

Tang Mingzhou,”…”

Ji Chi burst into laughter. Their car merged onto a truck, and with the truck now in motion, they were hidden from sight inside the cargo compartment. “Speak up. You went through all this trouble to lead us here. What do you want?”

“I want to see Lu Zhiyuan!” Tang Mingzhou stated calmly. “Take me back to the country.”

“You were arranged by Jiang Junlin to enjoy your retirement on Paradise Island. It’s a great place—year-round pleasant weather, beautiful scenery, renowned for retirement and leisure. You could have peacefully lived here for a few years. Why do you suddenly want to return to the country?” Ji Chi was more approachable in appearance, tone, and demeanor compared to Rong Li.

Only Black Hawk and those who truly understood them knew that Ji Chi was much more formidable than Rong Li.

Tang Mingzhou seemed to be swayed by appearances and thought Ji Chi would be easier to manipulate. “I have some personal matters to attend to with Lu Zhiyuan. Since you are part of Black Hawk, you should know that I am the true leader of Black Hawk. Lu Zhiyuan is just a temporary stand-in for a few years. I advise you not to stand on the wrong side..”
