“Where did you go today? You were one hour late for our video call.”

“I went…” To damage your reputation. Feeling guilty, Master Qian touched her head and said, “I was quite busy today…”

“Have you done something wrong?” Ye Ling squinted his eyes.

“Obviously not!” Shen Qianshu’s eyes widened and looked at him innocently with a face of ‘how is that even possible.’

“I am very honest.” She added on.

After all, what she said was not wrong!

“Continue lying to me, I am going to monitor you for 24 hours again.”

“Master, chill!” Shen Qianshu finally managed to persuade him to remove the bodyguards. It was really uncomfortable that she was always being watched. She thought for a moment and said, “I just… miss you. You have already left for so long.”

She sweetly asked, “Master, when are you coming back?”

Ye Ling melted upon hearing her sweet voice, fatuously forgetting why he was angry. He thought for a moment, calculated the time, and said, “There is already some progress regarding the matters that I needed to settle, so I will be able to go back in around a week or so.”

“One week is quite fast too.” Shen Qianshu smiled happily, looking at his cold face. “Master, you don’t look well these few days. Are you sick or injured?”

Ye Ling shook his head and did not answer her. His gaze was still on the stack of information. Shen Qianshu’s eyes flashed, seeming to be in a dilemma. “What are you looking at? Is it a contract? Is a contract better-looking than me?”

“The information that Ah Da gathered regarding that Master Qian.”

Cough Cough… Shen Qianshu was drinking halfway and immediately choked on her water. She hurriedly turned away from the screen and grabbed a towel to clean up the water stains. “You… will not really kill him right?”

If you are going to kill me, I will confess and plead for leniency!

Ye Ling sneered and said, “Zhong Ran already informed Ah Da to kill him just now.”

Shen Qianshu revealed a ‘who will die but me’ courageous front and said, “Master, actually I…”

“But someone pleaded on his behalf, so I will let this matter rest.”

“Actually, I feel that we need to settle everything in a civilized manner.” Shen Qianshu stopped in the middle of her sentence and quickly changed her words. She really did not dare to tell Ye Ling that she was actually Master Qian. He would absolutely be enraged.

Moreover, he would cool down after a while.

Master Qian, this identity would only be used during the casino’s gambling match every year. She promised her master that she would clinch the champion every year.

“You should just treat this as a prank!” Shen Qianshu said.

Master, after you have cooled down, I will then confess!

Whether or not Ye Ling knew of her mysterious identity, it was also not important. She did not even do anything to hurt him, and she was just stealthily earning money with this identity. To maintain her angel image, she thought that it would be better if he did not know.

“I have been crossing through both the black and white worlds for so many years, and nobody was ever so daring. Making a fool out of me like this, who indulged him?. This is outrageous!”

You indulged him!

If not, I wouldn’t have dared too!

“I assure you, this will not happen again.”

“You assure me?”

“Ah, what I meant was that you already decided to kill him, but someone pleaded on his behalf. This means that the person knows him and will surely warn him not to do it again, right? Unless he is not in the right mind and looking for death.”

Ye Ling pushed the information aside, out of his sight and mind. “He is just a quack. I will let him go once!”

What quack?

I am the King of Gambling!

Even more incredible than Chow Yun-fat!

“Right, just a quack. Let’s not bother about him. Don’t be angry anymore.”

[0] Chow Yun-fat is a Hong Kong actor who acted in God of Gamblers, a 1988 Hong Kong action comedy-drama film. In the movie, Chow was portrayed as a world-famous gambler, so renowned and talented at winning various games of chance that he was referred to as the “God of Gamblers.” He also kept his identity secret from the public (and avoided taking photos so his face was not recognized).
