My First Love had met Ling Yi Ling Yi than once, but this was the first time she had actually faced him face-to-face.
But for some reason, looking at Ling Yi's face now, my First Love didn't feel too uncomfortable.
This is a man even his own boss is wary of. He may be a bit ugly, but he's talented.
There's a saying that goes, "Talent is a man's greatest charm."
Moreover, Ling Yi was only the second man she had ever met whose eyes were so clear and innocent when he looked at her, without any ulterior motives or foolishness.
The first one, naturally, is her boss Ferrari.
Does Ling Yi have feelings for this woman? Of course he does; any man would.
But Ling Yi knew this woman's identity and character very well.
This is definitely not a good person; he's a complete villain in the movie, a thoroughly determined villain with no need for redemption whatsoever.
You could even say that Ferrari is villain Number One, then she is villain Number Two.
Moreover, Ling Yi himself is a person with a kind of purity complex when it comes to love; beautiful women are just for show.
Ling Yi's ideal wife is a woman with an ordinary appearance, a Gwen Stacy personality, and a quiet and generous nature.
Women who are too beautiful are generally hard for most people to handle, and Ling Yi didn't think he could handle a woman like his First Love who was full of tricks.
"What's your real name?" Ling Yi asked before his First Love could speak.
First Love paused for a moment, then smiled Yanran and said, "Mr. Deaf Five, my name is Lin Xiaolei, you can call me Xiaolei!"
Good grief, you only changed one character from your real name, huh?
"Mr. Deaf Five, on behalf of my boss, I sincerely invite you to represent him in the Gambling King Championship at the end of the month." Lin Xiaolei stared at Ling Yi, her expression becoming more serious.
"Who's your boss?" Ling Yi asked, feigning ignorance.
"Sir, you took over 10 billion from our boss in just one week."
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment. What?! The more than 10 billion yuan we managed to scrape together was from Ferrari?
No wonder it had such a strong aftereffect; I almost had to restart. So that's where it all started?
So, I was going head-to-head with Ferrari from the very beginning?
Well, if we're matched up, we're matched up. We might as well go all in, since we haven't lost anything anyway.
Thinking of this, Ling Yi smiled faintly and said, "If that's the case, then I'm your enemy."
Lin Xiaolei smiled and said, "In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, right?"
"With our boss's power and connections, coupled with your God of Gamblers skills, as long as you cooperate with our boss, you will be invincible and have no rivals in Hong Kong."
"But I'm a good person!" Ling Yi sat up straight and smiled.
Is Ling Yi a good person? Who knows? It depends on how you look at it, what world you're in, and who the other person is.
"Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about our boss. Our boss is an extremely good person. He's the one who organized this God of God of Gamblers competition."
"You should know that all the funds raised from this competition were ultimately used for charity. I believe Mr. Deaf Five is already aware of this, isn't he?"
"Heh, your boss runs a casino and calls himself a good person? The news of those three super-rich people disappearing has been on the news for three days now, hasn't it? A good person? Pshaw!"
Lin Xiaolei's eyes were filled with disbelief.
This matter was kept extremely secret. Apart from the boss and her, only a few subordinates in the entire group knew about it, and those few people were no longer in Hong Kong.
How did this person know? Or is he trying to bomb me?
Lin Xiaolei quickly composed herself, saying with a look of regret, "Yes, I wonder who was so bold as to kidnap three wealthy people."
"You know, our boss is friends with them."
Ling Yi rolled her eyes. Don't you know how those three idiots got caught? Or rather, the one who tricked those three fools was this woman in front of her.
Without this woman, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for Ferrari to capture and imprison those three guys.
Ling Yi tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you want me to help your boss, then you'll have to beat me on the bet."
"Whether your boss intervenes or hires someone else, it doesn't matter, as long as you can beat me, even just once, I'll help your boss!"
Lin Xiaolei frowned.
They've studied Ling Yi's gambling skills quite a bit during this time, but they still haven't figured out any tricks of the trade.
Forget about gambling skills, they haven't even figured out Ling Yi's Kung Fu Hustle.
"That's my only condition. If you don't agree, then forget it."
"Sir, are there restrictions on the number of people, time, and location?" Lin Xiaolei asked after thinking for a moment.
"No restrictions, but you need to be prepared with the money—one billion at a time. I know your boss isn't short of cash!"
"Please wait a moment, sir!"
Lin Xiaolei bowed slightly, then took out her phone and dialed Ferrari's number in front of Ling Yi.
The call was answered quickly, and Lin Xiaolei quickly explained what had happened.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaolei said, "Mr. Deaf Five, our boss has agreed. I'll come pick you up in three days."
After Lin Xiaolei left, Leung Foon leaned over and asked, " The Final Master, what kind of trick are you using? Be careful they don't use a relentless attack."
"Wouldn't that be even better? The more people, the more we earn," Ling Yi said with a smile.
"That's true, the Final Master. Could you take me with you then? Let me see the world too?"
When did I ever say I wanted to take you as my apprentice?
"I don't care, I've decided you're my the Final Master life," Leung Foon said shamelessly.
"By the way, the Final Master, were those three missing tycoons really captured by Ferrari?" Leung Foon asked with a more serious expression.
"Well, but I have no evidence, and I don't know where they're being held." Ling Yi naturally couldn't reveal that right now.
Now, I'm almost certain I'll be replacing Wong Sifu and going head-to-head with Ferrari.
The opportunity to profit from those three wealthy men is now right in my hands!
It's important to know that these three individuals control a television station, a real estate company, and the entertainment industry, respectively.
They're all Big Fatty.
However, Ling Yi would never resort to the opportunistic methods employed by Wong Sifu.
Now, Ling Yi has a Yinyin the general direction of development for the world he has traveled to.
It's just that many details need to be improved.
Leung Foon frowned and said, "If that's the case, it'll be troublesome. Ferrari's ambitions are probably quite large. If those three tycoons are really controlled by Ferrari, then Ferrari will practically control most of Hong Kong."
"Don't worry, I've already had someone investigate. I believe we'll have news soon."
Although Leung Foon is a bit unreliable and doesn't always follow the rules, he is indeed a good person.
Ling Yi didn't mind helping him out.
"Don't bother learning gambling skills. Your only purpose in learning them is to compete with Ferrari."
"You're a police officer, what are you doing learning gambling? You should just go back to being a police officer."
"But the Final Master, I've been suspended from my duties."
"Suspension isn't the same as dismissal. Once you've seized the Ferrari and rescued those three tycoons, not only will you be reinstated, but you'll likely be promoted as well, right?"
Leung Foon was taken aback, but instantly understood Ling Yi's meaning. He exclaimed with delight, " The Final Master, you are my guiding light! The Final Master, rest assured, I, Leung Foon, will definitely take good care of you in the future!"
"I'm not dying, why would I need your filial piety?"
"Hehehe, I have to say something, right? Um, the Final Master, can I have a bowl of noodles? I haven't had breakfast yet."
Ling Yi was speechless. This kid really didn't consider himself an outsider, seizing the opportunity to strike.
Leung Foon slurped down three bowls of noodles, then wiped his sweat, gave Ling Yi a silly grin, and asked, " The Final Master, what are we going to do next?"
"Any fun places to visit in Hong Kong? Show me around."
Leung Foon's eyebrows twitched as if dancing, and he asked cheekily, " The Final Master, are you being serious or inappropriate?"
"Who's going to do it properly?" Ling Yi shrugged and said.
"Haha, the Final Master, that's exactly what I've been waiting for! Please, make yourself at home!"
For the next few days, Ling Yi truly indulged in a life of extravagance and debauchery.
In the real world, Ling Yi is just an ordinary person. He's over thirty and has never held a woman's hand or had a serious relationship.
But in this movie world, Ling Yi truly indulged himself.
Perhaps it's because this is the world of movies, or perhaps it's because of the sudden wealth that Changes my mindset.
In short, Ling Yi has been having too much fun these past few days.
Until Lin Xiaolei found them at a club.
Seeing that First Love's face again, Ling Yi gave a bitter smile and said, "You've fallen from grace!"
" The Final Master, what kind of depravity is this? You don't even touch women, I'm the one who's truly depraved." Leung Foon said, clutching his lower back, his face contorted in pain.
Ling Yi smiled wryly. On one hand, he was a germaphobe in this area; on the other hand, every time he saw the disgusted looks those women gave him, he immediately lost all interest in the subject.
There's nothing he can do; he's Deaf Five now, not Ling Yi.
Leung Foon, on the other hand, was really playing dirty tricks. Ling Yi estimated that if given a few more days, he would die here.
Lin Xiaolei naturally knew what Ling Yi and the others had been doing these past two days.
She looked at Leung Foon with utter contempt, practically asking, "Are you even capable, Xi Gou?"
Instead, they looked at Ling Yi with new respect.
It is already quite remarkable to be able to maintain one's bottom line amidst the extravagance and debauchery.
She had also heard that Ling Yi was a perfectionist when it came to love.
If it weren't for his unattractive appearance, he would be a good marriage prospect.
These days, men who are talented and can also uphold their principles are rare.
"Mr. Deaf Five, our boss has everything ready," Lin Xiaolei said in the car.
He paused, then added, "There are quite a few people this time, and they are all experts."
Is this a reminder to myself?
Ling Yi smiled and asked, "Do you think I'll lose?"
Leung Foon chimed in from the side, "How could the Final Master possibly lose? Even if Brother Fat jumped out of a movie, he'd have to admit defeat to my the Final Master."
Lin Xiaolei lowered her voice slightly and said, "I actually hope you lose, sir!"
"You wicked woman, you're in cahoots with that Ferrari guy, of course you want my the Final Master to lose," Leung Foon said with displeasure.
But Ling Yi understood Lin Xiaolei's meaning: Ferrari, they had a backup plan.
Moreover, it could very well be a meticulously planned, deadly trap!
Ling Yi remained silent and became cautious as well.
His trump card was the Invisibility camera that " Fellow Daoist, Please Stay " had specially customized for him.
But the biggest limitation of this trump card is that it cannot be used proactively.
To ensure his safety, Ling Yi needs to detect danger in advance in order to avoid it.
If the danger is undetectable, such as being shot unexpectedly, Ling Yi will still have to restart.
So, this thing isn't a panacea.
"It seems I need to prepare more ways to protect myself."
Ling Yi remained silent, closing his eyes to rest, while Lin Xiaolei also kept quiet, seemingly focused on driving.
Leung Foon quickly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere inside the car.
He, who had originally intended to say something, also fell silent.
