As Hong Changqing examined the ck leather bag, he noticed four or five circr holes scattered across its surface, likely intended for the lens of a sports camera.
The trouble was that both the lens and the bag were ck, and with Hong Changqing’s focus diverted from X, he hadn’t picked up on this detail at all.
It was only now that Hong Changqing realized this kid had cleverly set up a trap with three options!
If he agreed topete again, those dozen or so women would surely expose him, and since he couldn’t urately guess their ages, it would indirectly confirm that he had cheated the day before, leading to his downfall.
However, if he refused, the kid could easily upload the video online, and that would also spell disaster for him. The real issue was that he couldn’t resort to violence; there were too many witnesses. If he were to harm anyone, he would likely be wanted by the entire country. Even if he managed to escape China, he would be a fugitive worldwide, and his reputation would be in tatters.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Only then did it dawn on Hong Changqing just how devious the kid’s n was!<fn3021> Latest content published on find?novel</fn3021>
He considered his options carefully, thinking, “If I confront this kid head-on, I won’t avoid ruin. Instead of fighting, it might be wiser to shake hands and make peace. In that case, Serene Medical Clinic would be out of the picture, and I wouldn’t face any significant losses…”
With this thought, Hong Changqing pursed his lips, feigning grandeur as he dered, “Let’s put an end to this. I see your intentions, kid; you’re trying to aid that Dr. Simmons and save the world. I, Hong, will take the high road today and relinquish the Serene Medical Clinic to Dr. Simmons—I no longer want it!”
After making his grand statement, he stroked his beard with one hand and lifted his long gown with the other, strutting towards the door.
But Charlie wouldn’t let him off so easily and stood in his way, mocking, “Old man, don’t rush off! You orchestrated a scheme to frame Miracle Doctor Shi yesterday, which tarnished his reputation in Aurous Hill. How do you think you can just walk away from this?”
Hong Changqing’s heart raced; he quickly responded, “What do you want from me?” At that moment, he regretted setting his sights on Dr. Simmons’s Serene Medical Clinic!
He hadn’t anticipated that this situation would leave him so vulnerable.
Now, as he sought to capitte, the other party refused to let him off the hook.
Charlie looked at Hong Changqing with a smile and said, “I heard from the doctor that you made a bet with him yesterday, involving a medicine cauldron. Is that bulging cloth bag on you what I think it is?”
Hong Changqing instinctively stepped back, clutching his cloth pocket, and eximed, “You want my medicine cauldron?!”
Charlie chuckled and replied, “Well, that’s not quite urate. It’s not that I want it. You made it your wager yesterday, but since you cheated, you should acknowledge your loss. And if you admit defeat, you’re obligated to hand over the bet. Am I wrong?”
