After being flattered by his brother, Manager Li felt very comfortable. However, in this situation, he did not get carried away. Reason told him that when outsiders were present, if the limelight was given to him alone, If so, Shopkeeper Lu would definitely feel unhappy, and he might resent himself because of it. This would cast a shadow on his future, so he had to save some limelight and let Shopkeeper Lu show his face.
After realizing this, he immediately turned his head with a smile, looked at Shopkeeper Lu, and said respectfully: "Shopkeeper, today's matter has been forced to this point, in order to save the face of our bank, and to gain face for you. , at this critical moment, I must not be intimidated, so in order to show my determination, I put my life and the lives of my brothers on the line. Here you can bear witness to us, if that kid will Fortunately, we won. He took away our lives. You can take care of some funeral arrangements for us, and by the way, tell our families not to hold others accountable.
Because our lives are something we are willing to gamble on, and we have no regrets if we lose. "
Zhou Yiming looked on with cold eyes, thinking to himself, I just used a few tricks to make these idiots dizzy and completely lose their minds. I'm really curious. I'll take out the banknote of two hundred thousand taels later. What will their expressions be like after that? In order to survive, would they kneel down and beg for their lives in front of their boss?
Zhou Yiming was very curious about the answer to this question, but in order to avoid Manager Li and his brothers from doubting him, he never dared to show his inner emotions easily. He just pretended to be surprised and stood there. He stared blankly at Manager Li, saying nothing.
Seeing that Manager Li asked him to be a witness, Shopkeeper Lu finally couldn't sit still. He quickly stood up from his chair and raised his finger at Manager Li, meaning to let him get closer to him.
Manager Li felt very proud that his shopkeeper made this gesture to him. He believed that if the relationship between the two people was not so good, the shopkeeper would definitely not show his kindness to him in this way in front of everyone.
He looked back at his brothers, and then at Zhou Ming. By doing this, he was obviously showing off his power to them.
The group of strong men felt unbalanced and envious when they saw their boss being so prosperous. They were all wondering when they would be able to stand out like their boss.
Seeing this clown-like performance, Zhou Yiming felt disgusted in his heart. He even felt that there were only four words to describe this kind of person's mentality, and that was the ambition of a villain.
After finishing the limelight, Manager Li slowly walked up to his shopkeeper, lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, do you have any other orders?"
Shopkeeper Lu covered his mouth with his hand, came close to his ear, and lowered his voice and said: "What tricks are you playing? Why are you risking your life? If you do this, if that kid wins later, you have to Take your life, what should I do?
I can tell the ugly things in my head. Since you asked me to be a witness, I will be impartial and selfless. When the government investigates, I will definitely tell the truth and I will never wrongly accuse a good person for your sake. "
When Manager Li put his ear to his ears, he had a smile on his face, but after listening to what Shopkeeper Lu said, he felt a little uncomfortable, because although what Shopkeeper Lu said was reasonable, at the critical moment, for the boss Manager Li felt a chill in his heart when his subordinate who had been with him for many years said such heartless words.
Manager Li was stunned for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal. He smiled bitterly and said in a very low voice: "Shopkeeper, you are worrying too much. You have also seen the performance of the boy just now. You said he is the one Xiong Xiang, even if you lend him nine thousand nine hundred taels of silver, he won't be able to win the bet.
Don't worry, even if something happens, I will take responsibility for myself and won't hurt you. "
Shopkeeper Lu nodded, feeling that what he said made sense: "Since you have already decided, I won't say any more nonsense. You can take care of the rest."
After finishing speaking, Shopkeeper Lu sat on the chair again and looked at the people in front of him with a sinking face.
After finishing the matter with Shopkeeper Lu, Manager Li breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and walked back to his original position. He stared at Zhou Ming and said, "The stakes have been filled and the witnesses have been found. Now you have no excuse to escape." Alright?"
Zhou Yiming immediately used his actor-like acting skills. He first widened his eyes and stared blankly at Manager Li again and again. Then he opened his mouth wide, as if he was thirsty, and swallowed saliva quickly. At the same time, he was still He kept exhaling loudly, as if he was completely suffocated and couldn't breathe.
The group of strong men who originally risked their lives were trembling with fear, but when they saw his appearance, the fear in their hearts disappeared instantly, and each of them couldn't help but smile with joy, because they all I feel that the reason why Zhou Ming showed such cowardice must be because he realized that he was going to die.
They began to whisper while secretly rejoicing.
"Fortunately, this kid has no strength, otherwise the lives of my brothers would be decided here."
"It's too dangerous. Although we passed the test today, we brothers should not follow Manager Li in the future, otherwise our lives may be in danger at any time."
"What you are talking about is only afterthoughts. The most important thing at the moment is to teach this damn brat a lesson after you win the bet."
"I'll be the first to break his legs when the time comes."
These strong men spoke very quietly, so the other three people present did not hear what they were saying at all.
"Since you don't speak, I assume that you have no objection. Next, the gambling game officially begins. Don't feel embarrassed. If you have any valuable treasures, take them out quickly. If there are too many treasures, I will let you Mr. Qianzhuang, please calculate their value for you." Manager Li said proudly.
"You bastard, don't stand still, hurry up and get the money!"
"If you don't take action, we will treat you as admitting defeat, and we will be cruel to you when the time comes. Don't feel wronged."
After listening to Manager Li's words, the group of strong men immediately echoed and clamored. They hoped that in this way, they could destroy Zhou Ming's will as soon as possible and make him reveal his true colors immediately, bow his head and admit his mistakes, and accept their most cruel punishment.
At this time, Yi Ming's performance had entered the second stage. He frowned and large beads of sweat fell from his cheeks. In addition, his whole body was still shaking, as if someone had It's like having a cramp.
He looked around at a loss, as if looking for help. After his hope of finding help was lost, he turned his head pitifully and looked at the menacing Manager Li in front of him, with a look of weakness and incompetence in his eyes. .
This miserable appearance further aroused the contempt of Manager Li and the group of strong men. They shouted louder, and even occasionally mixed with abuse.
"I knew earlier that this guy was just bluffing, and he was just here for a fight. Now his true colors have finally been revealed."
"You brat, don't have any illusions. If you have the ability, just recruit it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you waste it in vain and delay our bank's business, it will only make your end more miserable."
Shopkeeper Lu had never been able to see through Zhou Ming before, but now that he saw Zhou Ming's devastated look, he felt a little disappointed. He thought to himself just now, how capable I thought this kid was, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. It seems that Li The steward's guess was correct, this guy was here to cause trouble and extort money.
After having this idea in his mind, Shopkeeper Lu felt depressed. He really didn't expect that his vision had deteriorated to such an extent that he would regard a street gangster as an unfathomable talent. If he had such a stupid idea, , if other people know about it, they will definitely become the laughing stock of others.
Although the outcome of the gambling game in front of him was still undecided, but seeing Zhou Yiming's scared look, Manager Li already experienced a sense of victory in his heart. He closed his eyes and carefully experienced this intoxicating feeling. , and at the same time hope that this feeling will stay in my heart longer.
After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a fierce look. The murderous look in his eyes gave people a chilling feeling.
He knew in his heart that the bet between himself and Yi Ming must be settled, otherwise if he continued to drag it out, he would probably have long nights and nightmares, causing unnecessary trouble.
And what worries him the most is that if the gambling between them takes too long and makes his bank unable to do business today, the shopkeeper will probably be angry at himself.
It was precisely because of the above considerations that he wanted to force Zhou Ming to kneel down and admit defeat: "Why are you still standing there? Didn't I already say it? I asked you to come up with enough money to prove your identity. If you If you don't have that strength, just kneel on the ground and beg me and the shopkeeper to forgive you.
Don't think that spending it like this will do you any good. If you do this, it will only make us lose patience with you. "
"He just deserves a beating. If his legs are broken, he will know that he made a mistake coming here."
"Manager Li, don't talk to him so much. Give him the order. As long as you say a word, we will kill him."
Those tough guys were very proud of their boss. As soon as Manager Li finished speaking, they gathered around him in excitement and expressed their intention to beat Zhou Ming violently.
Manager Li pretended to stretch out his hand to stop his group, and then said to Zhou Ming with a troubled expression: "Little brother, you have also seen that my brother is extremely angry, and I can't control it now.
If you are smart, take out your valuables quickly, otherwise once they attack you, I don’t think I have the ability to stop them. "
