Divine Doctor's Harem

395 Unnecessary Kindness



In the audience, Zhou Xinghe, Shen Siquan, Shen Bing, and others were shocked by Pei Buji's words.

Especially Shen Bing, her face turned pale as paper, filled with horror.

She tightly held onto Zhou Xinghe's sleeve. "Mr. Zhou, what should I do now?"

Going up to play games with Pei Buji would undoubtedly result in death.

But if she didn't go up to play, she would probably still meet a tragic fate.

Either way, it meant death!

Zhou Xinghe's eyes darkened, feeling equally helpless. He whispered, "Our hiding spot is very safe for now. Let's wait and see."

They were hiding behind a well-concealed cover, with a black steel mesh obstructing their view.

From their perspective, they could see everything happening outside.

However, from the outside perspective, their whereabouts were completely hidden.

"Shen Bing, is President Shen here?"

Pei Buji scanned the area, but couldn't find any trace of Shen Bing. His gaze suddenly changed, and he turned to Yun Feihe. "Did someone escape from here before we surrounded this place?"

Yun Feihe shook his head. "No."

Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something and whispered, "But, as far as I know, Wang Chao, who is with Shen Bing, is exceptional and has formidable strength. He is unpredictable."

"Perhaps, he has already taken Shen Bing and escaped."

"Impossible!" Pei Buji shook his head.

He had deployed many skilled individuals, surrounding all the entrances and exits, and they hadn't detected Shen Bing and Wang Chao escaping.

Moreover, he had just received information that before they made their move, Wang Chao had already left the casino with Kristin.

If Shen Bing had disappeared, it meant she either fled on her own or was still inside.

His men were stationed here, searching every corner, and they hadn't found Shen Bing's presence.

However, he was certain that Shen Bing was still hiding within the casino, perhaps in a place they didn't know about.

Pei Buji sneered and said, "President Shen wants to play hide-and-seek with us. Very well, we'll play with her until the end."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand. "The gun."

Yun Feihe understood and immediately handed the pistol to Pei Buji.

Pei Buji aimed the gun at someone in the crowd below and pulled the trigger abruptly.

Bang!

In the midst of the crowd, a beautiful female dealer had a bullet pierced through her forehead and fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

The sudden incident immediately caused screams from the crowd.

Pei Buji's gaze was sharp as a knife, but he maintained a smile as he raised his voice. "President Shen wants to play hide-and-seek, and I'll naturally accompany her until the end."

"Starting now, if you don't come out, I will kill one person every three minutes!"

"President Shen, we have plenty of time to play."

He smiled, but his voice thundered, reaching everyone's ears clearly.

Witnessing the female dealer lying in a pool of blood, everyone in the casino was horrified.

"Yun Feihe, start the countdown. When three minutes are up, immediately randomly select someone to kill," Pei Buji said with a smile.

Yun Feihe produced an hourglass from somewhere and turned it over, placing it on the gambling table.

"The sand in the hourglass will run out in three minutes. President Shen, if you want someone else to die in your place, then keep hiding," Yun Feihe said.

After he spoke, everyone in the room nervously fixed their gazes on the hourglass, their breathing suspended.

In a mysterious corner, Shen Bing's expression changed, and she suddenly stood up.

 

       

 

       

  

"Stay calm, don't rush!" Zhou Xinghe quickly held Shen Bing back, preventing her from going out.

Pei Buji, with his smiling face and ruthless and unfathomable intentions, would be a deadly trap for Shen Bing if she stepped out. The consequences would be unimaginable.

"Mr. Zhou, are you going to let me watch as others die for me?" Shen Bing gritted her teeth.

Though she appeared aloof, she had a kind heart and didn't want to drag others down. Witnessing innocent people dying for her sake filled her with immense guilt.

Zhou Xinghe asked her to continue waiting. What if Yun Feihe and Pei Buji killed more people because of her? That would be her fault!

How could she bear to watch others die for her?

"Do they deliberately want to force you out and to your death? Which is more important, your life or the lives of others?" Zhou Xinghe said in a deep voice.

"But..." Shen Bing's eyes turned red, tears almost streaming down.

Could she just watch as others died in front of her?

How could she possibly bring herself to do such a cruel thing?

Zhou Xinghe spoke in a solemn tone, "I know you can not bear it, but think carefully. Is there anything left unfinished in your life? Do you have any regrets?"

"If you have no regrets, I can let you go and die. But if you still have regrets, I advise you to hide obediently, to live on, which is more important than anything else."

Shen Bing's expression fluctuated, uncertain.

Yes, there were still regrets in her life. Her father hadn't been found, and her brother hadn't been saved.

If she died here, her brother would probably die as a result.

"What should I do then?" Shen Bing whispered.

"Just stay here, and let's see how things unfold," Zhou Xinghe said.

"But what if someone dies because of me?"

"Even then, you can't go out. Your life is more important than anyone else's."

"But..."

"It's not just a simple social struggle anymore, it's a battlefield. Hesitation, compassion, sympathy, they're all weaknesses. Once you possess those things, others will use them against you, and you'll be doomed! Excessive kindness will only harm yourself and others."

Zhou Xinghe's gaze became solemn, as if he recalled some heartbreaking memories, and his expression turned extremely unpleasant.

Five years ago, he experienced the same situation as Shen Bing.

At that time, he was just a young man who had recently started working. He followed a team of veteran mercenaries on a mission and encountered an ambush. They took cover, and the enemy massacred innocent villagers in an attempt to lure them out.

Many of the veterans could remain calm and silent.

Being young and full of vigor, with a strong sense of justice and responsibility, he couldn't bear to watch innocent villagers die for their sake. Unable to hold back, he shouted and rushed out to fight the enemy.

It was precisely because of his actions that their mercenary squad engaged in a life-and-death battle with the enemy.

That battle resulted in the death of ten veterans from their squad and left three veterans disabled.

Those people died for him!

It was a bloody lesson!

Since then, he had learned to be ruthless!

Even if innocent people died, he would not act recklessly out of kindness. Instead, he would face the situation calmly.

As time passed, the three minutes quickly elapsed.

Pei Buji saw that Shen Bing hadn't come out yet, his gaze turning cold. He spoke in a deep voice, "Since President Shen does not come out, then I'll kill!"

Yun Feihe's gaze turned icy as he took out a handgun and aimed it at someone in the crowd.

"Do not move!"

Just as Yun Feihe was about to pull the trigger, Shen Bing could not hide any longer. She immediately stood up from the corner and said, "I'm here. I'll play a game of blackjack with you. Please do not kill anyone!"
