Ever since confirming Yu Shuang's hiding place, I went directly to the Grand Lisboa casino and met Mr. He in the same conference room as before.
As soon as we met, Mr. He got straight to the point, telling me that he had specifically canceled a one-hour meeting with an important guest for me.
If I couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, the next hour would be the countdown to the final stage of my life.
Ignoring Mr. He's threatening words, I directly told him that giving him a satisfactory answer was simple...
Hand over all control of the Grand Lisboa casino for the next hour to me!
In my original plan, I thought Mr. He would ask for reasons or even shake his head and refuse. But the reality was completely unexpected: he agreed without even considering it.
Such decisiveness and boldness, truly worthy of a formidable figure who could build an empire!
The moment Mr. He nodded and agreed to temporarily hand over control of the Grand Lisboa casino to me, I noticed that some people behind him showed an unnatural expression of panic and bewilderment.
Taking in this subtle scene, although my expression remained unchanged, I already had the answer in my heart.
Some people... were about to have a terrible misfortune!!!
...
After temporarily handing over control of the Grand Lisboa casino to me, the casino manager, acting on Mr. He's orders, immediately appeared in the conference room.
As soon as the manager arrived, I looked at him and asked, "How many guest rooms are there in your establishment, from top to bottom?"
Upon hearing this, the casino manager did not seek help from anyone, nor did he pull out his phone to make a call. Instead, he familiarized himself with the details and blurted out, "There are xx presidential suites, xx deluxe suites..."
After the manager reported each category, I took out my phone from my pocket, opened a MMS photo in my messages, and handed it to him.
After the manager finished looking, I pulled him aside and whispered, "Give me your phone number, I'll send you this photo. When you go out later, get it copied directly!"
"Tell all the service staff whose shifts are ending not to rush off. Then, assign some security personnel to conduct a thorough search of all guest rooms using the photo to find the person in the picture."
"The most important thing is to ensure that all entrances and exits of the establishment are being monitored before you start. Both female guests entering and leaving must be strictly checked against the photo! Remember this!"
Upon hearing my words, the manager did not immediately respond. Instead, he instinctively glanced at Mr. He, who was sitting upright at the bar.
Seeing Mr. He nod, the manager then agreed.
It was evident that this manager was extremely loyal to Mr. He.
After sending the MMS photo to the manager, I whispered a few more instructions in his ear.
Next, it was time to clear the fog.
About half an hour later...
Surrounded by a group of security personnel, the woman in the MMS photo was brought into the conference room.
The moment she saw me, the woman's eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of her sockets, filled with disbelief.
However, despite her extreme shock, the woman did not speak.
Not until I looked at her and revealed her true identity...
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Is the game of 'hiding in plain sight' fun? Leng Shuang, or rather... Yu Shuang?"
Upon hearing my words, the woman, who looked almost identical to Leng Shuang, first paused for a moment. Then, she tore off her facial disguise, revealing her true face.
As expected... Yu Shuang!
After revealing her true face, the Queen Bee suddenly let out a cold laugh and looked at me, asking, "Heh heh~ You've got guts, Chen Xiang!"
"Even when you were on the verge of death, you managed to turn the tables!"
"It doesn't matter how many times I lost to you before, as long as I win against you once at the most crucial moment!" I retorted.
Hearing this, Yu Shuang glared at me and shouted coldly, "You think you've won for sure!?"
Just as I was about to retort again, Mr. He suddenly stood up from his seat by the bar and asked calmly, "Tell me, young man, what is going on here?"
"Why is the person I'm looking for hiding right under my nose?"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but inwardly curse myself for the oversight!
It seemed I had forgotten something.
Although Mr. He was an elderly man, he was still the overlord of Macau.
Moreover, he wasn't bedridden and dependent on an oxygen tank.
If the person he was looking for was hiding right under his nose, even if some of his trusted subordinates were deliberately keeping it from him, it was unlikely that he wouldn't have other channels to receive information.
So, from the very beginning, Mr. He knew everything!
He didn't say anything because he couldn't say it himself!
That ungrateful confidant had grown too powerful. Acting without justification would easily lead to him retaliating or even escalating internal conflicts.
Therefore, Mr. He had set this test for me to redeem myself, waiting for me to speak the truth so that he could legitimately enforce his family law!
This was akin to an ancient emperor executing a disloyal minister. Even if he knew the person harbored rebellious intentions, he needed a loyal subject (a scapegoat) to impeach the person first.
Otherwise, he would have to tear down the facade completely, leading to a mutually destructive struggle!
After realizing the intricate workings of this situation, I couldn't help but curse inwardly: Damn it! They're all cunning old foxes!
...
Coming back to my senses, I saw that everyone present looked confused and clueless.
Of course, some of them were pretending.
Whether they were pretending or not, since Mr. He had called me out by name, I was the one who had to play the role that might be targeted.
With this thought, I glanced at Yu Shuang again, lit a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and said generously, "I won't waste any time with pleasantries here. I'll explain why Yu Shuang was hiding in the Grand Lisboa casino!"
"Before I explain the cause and effect, please allow me to introduce that the appearance Yu Shuang presented earlier was the work of a woman named Leng Shuang under her command."
"This Leng Shuang is from the Rong Sect. Besides her exceptional skills in lock picking, her mastery of disguise and altering appearances is also her forte!"
"Back to the main point."
"From the moment she appeared in Macau, Yu Shuang had swapped faces and identities with Leng Shuang and was hiding in the Grand Lisboa casino!"
