PS: Due to so changes in the earlier plot, an additional chapter has erged, brothers who have read this can skip this chapter and jump to the next one.
Su Chen actually took the chance to subtly touch Catherine's hand while she was pouring him so wine.
Catherine was slightly shaken, but quickly regained her composure.
Irked, she thought to herself: this guy has so nerve.
If Buddha saw this, he'd have Su Chen cut into pieces without hesitation.
Luckily for her, she had strong ntal fortitude. Had it been another woman, they might have given themselves away, not even knowing how they'd die when the ti ca.
Buddha might appear generous, but his won are strictly off-limits; no one is allowed to touch them.
Su Chen picked up his glass, looking serious as he said, "In our line of work, it's all about loyalty. How can I abandon my brothers?"
"Well said!" Buddha applauded.
"Little bro, I won't thank you in words. From now on, we're brothers," the tall skinny guy toasted Su Chen as well.
Previously, he only saw Su Chen as a hired hand, a subordinate.
He hadn't fully trusted him. But now, things were different.
Su Chen had resisted such a huge temptation and risked his life to co back and save . That said it all.
If Su Chen were an Ordinary Person, he naturally wouldn't risk such danger to save the tall skinny guy.
In fact, he even planned to get rid of the tall skinny guy once he successfully infiltrated Heavenly's top ranks.
The only reason he returned was to gain Buddha's trust.
"Little brother, do you know how much the stuff in the box is worth?" Buddha asked Su Chen with a smile.
Su Chen played dumb, scratching his head and eventually shook it, "I don't know."
Buddha gestured with his fingers, a three.
"Three hundred thousand?"
"No, it's three million," Buddha said, still smiling.
"Damn, why didn't you tell earlier!" exclaid Su Chen in shock.
"Right, aren't you regretting not having pocketed it?" Buddha continued to smile, a hint of danger creeping onto his face.
"I do regret it," Su Chen sighed and shook his head.
Upon hearing Su Chen's answer, the dangerous aura on Buddha's face vanished.
If Su Chen had said he had no regrets, Buddha definitely wouldn't have trusted him.
After all, who enters this line of work for anything but money?
If you had three million, who would willingly do these head-chopping deeds?
Buddha figured that Su Chen didn't return the box simply because he had no idea how valuable the contents were.
Loyalty for the sake of Jianghu?
Loyalty in Jianghu is valued, but often it's for profit that brothers are betrayed.
After eating halfway through, the tall skinny guy left.
Su Chen continued to drink with Buddha and the roomful of his won.
Buddha's won, aware of the day's events, looked at Su Chen with new respect, offering their toasts one after another.
Especially Minako Ozawa, who even gave Su Chen's leg a kick while toasting.
It wasn't until late into the night that Su Chen was carried into the bedroom.
The ones who carried Su Chen were none other than Minako Ozawa and Catherine.
"Take good care of him," Catherine instructed before leaving.
"I will."
As soon as Catherine left, Su Chen instantly sobered up.
"You, weren't you drunk?" Minako Ozawa exclaid in surprise.
"Heh, if I hadn't pretended to be drunk, how would you have had the chance? Don't think I didn't know what you had in mind while you were toasting," Su Chen chuckled.
"You're already injured, and you still can't behave?" Minako Ozawa scolded.
"Shush, soone's coming," Su Chen suddenly said in a low voice.
Minako Ozawa's face paled, and she tensed up, not daring to move an inch.
It was no joke, if soone else found out about this, they wouldn't even know how they'd be killed.
"It's okay, I locked the door. She can't co in," Su Chen indicated to Minako Ozawa not to worry.
But just as he finished speaking, the sound of the door unlocking ca from outside.
The person had a key.
"Oh no, it's Catherine!" Minako Ozawa's face turned pale.
"How do you know it's her?" Su Chen was puzzled.
"Because in this villa, she's the only one with keys to the other rooms. Now what do we do!" Minako Ozawa was extrely frightened.
"Quick, hide!" Su Chen motioned to Minako Ozawa not to panic.
As Catherine walked in, Su Chen managed to keep his composure and said, "Yo, Nana, visiting my room so late, what's up?"
"I just knocked, why didn't you open the door?" Catherine frowned.
"Ugh, I drank too much... I feel dizzy..." Su Chen feigned drunkenness.
"I brought you so dicine. Once you're sober, apply it yourself," Catherine didn't press the matter.
"Wow, Nana, you actually brought dicine personally, I'm so touched. I have nothing to repay you with, except to offer myself in return," Su Chen said with an air of gratitude.
Initially, Minako Ozawa was very scared when Catherine caught them.
But unexpectedly, Catherine was there to bring Su Chen dicine.
This action went beyond what she was supposed to do.
Could it be, this guy had sothing going on with Catherine as well?
This detestable bastard, despite already having her, even got together with Catherine, which was simply too despicable.
Feeling provoked, Minako Ozawa bit down on Su Chen's arm.
"Ah!" Su Chen let out a cry of pain.
"Hm? What's that under your blanket?" Catherine's gaze beca sharp.
"No, nothing..." Su Chen hadn't expected Minako Ozawa to suddenly go berserk and bite him.
Did she want to end up encased in concrete and sunk to the bottom of the sea?
"Hmph!" Clearly, Catherine didn't believe Su Chen and walked over to pull off his blanket.
But before she could do it, Minako Ozawa took it upon herself to throw off the blanket.
For a mont, their eyes t.
Catherine's face imdiately darkened with fury.
"So, Nana, if I told you that Minako and I were playing hide and seek, would you believe it?" Su Chen asked with a strained expression.
He wasn't afraid of being exposed by Catherine.
But since Catherine already held no fondness for him, and now seeing this scene, her deanor towards him would sour even further.
He had been planning to win over Catherine to extract so intelligence from her.
Clearly, Catherine didn't believe a word Su Chen said, her gaze piercing as she looked at Minako Ozawa, "Minako Ozawa, you have quite the nerve!"
