TSM Chapter 94

Shí Jiǎnbái’s gaze shifted, just about to speak, when Zuǒ Yú preemptively uttered, “Hmm… makes sense, your apprentice.”

With the words already spoken, Shí Jiǎnbái took a step back, arms crossed over his chest, a meaningful, mischievous smile tugging at the corner of his lips, “Indeed, even if there are ghosts, they should be experienced seniors.”

Following Shí Jiǎnbái’s deliberate olive branch, Zuǒ Yú lightly raised his eyebrows at Yì Xiǎojūn and crooked a finger, “Smoke.”

Yì Xiǎojūn fumbled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to him. Zuǒ Yú nodded slightly, twirled the pack in his hand, pulled out a cigarette, and placed it in his mouth, lighting it as he walked away, a picture of leisure as he disappeared before everyone’s eyes.

The police officers breathed a collective sigh of relief and continued to finish their unfinished work. Only Yì Xiǎojūn remained frozen in place, as if still shaken, his expression somewhat dim. In contrast, Gě Yáng adjusted his mood quickly and comforted him, putting an arm around his shoulder, seemingly trying to lighten the mood, “Don’t overthink it, brother, let’s find that bastard together.”

……

Twilight Bar,

Míng Xīng Yě had just reached the office door and found nothing unusual. No one was inside. With practiced skill, she took out a blade from her shoe and cautiously pushed the door open, tiptoeing to turn on the chandelier. Her heart, which had been hanging in the balance, finally relaxed. However, the result was still somewhat unexpected.

He stared intently at Míng Xīng Yě until she sat down, then mustered his courage to continue, “How do I contact Club 7?”

“He’s the one Diamond wants.”

“Diamond won’t let me go. Traitors… will suffer terribly.” Míng Xīng Yě’s tone was deeply laced with unspeakable guilt as she closed her eyes, avoiding his gaze.

“I’ll surrender after killing Shí Jiǎnbái. I won’t take another life, I just want his!”

“Then I’ll have people lie in wait to catch him.”

“No, I have to leave the Public Security Bureau. I suspect there’s an informant from the Poker Gang around me. Him knowing about Spade 5’s actions in advance can only mean someone there informed him. I… will be exposed.”

“Exposed? Why should I believe you?”

“I’ve already sent a message to Zuǒ Yú. Trust me once, White Emperor.”

The words “White Emperor” instantly reminded Shí Jiǎnbái of Míng Yuè Yě. He was willing to take a gamble on someone Zuǒ Yú trusted.

He was visibly stunned, his eyes looking at Míng Xīng Yě, first in disbelief, then finally smiling. He obediently threw the motorcycle aside and got into the passenger seat of Míng Xīng Yě’s car, “Still the same Sis Míng.”

“Hm? Coming to Twilight?” Míng Xīng Yě’s expression was serious, frowning.

“No, I’m a good boy now, very well-behaved.”

“Lǐ went to kill Shí Jiǎnbái, he didn’t catch him.” Míng Xīng Yě’s tone didn’t reveal any ripples, abnormally calm.
