Chapter 686: Chapter 686: One-Sixth Chance?
As he spoke, he pulled out a revolver from his body and looked at Rong Ling: “You will play a game of Russian Roulette with my subordinates, one shot each. If you can survive three rounds, just as she said, one hundred million, I’ll let you live. But if you can’t endure, I’m sorry, however many rounds my subordinate survives, that’s how many billions you owe me.”
After speaking, he turned to Li Yufei: “So, do you want to play?”
Rong Ling’s Adam’s apple moved slightly.
Russian Roulette.
He knew this brutal game.
A revolver has six chambers, and a random number of bullets can be placed in it. After spinning the cylinder and closing it, players take turns pointing the gun at their temple and pulling the trigger; cowards and those who get shot are considered to have lost.
Two people, six chambers, in three rounds, one of them is bound to get shot.
Sang Qin looked at the line of subordinates behind him: “Who wants to do it?”
Initially, no one responded.
Sang Qin said, “Whoever survives till the last round, I will give a bonus of five million US Dollars!”
As soon as he said this,
excitement appeared on everyone’s faces.
These kinds of desperados always value money over their lives!
Therefore, everyone expressed their willingness: “I’m willing!”
“I’ll do it!”
Sang Qin raised his hand and casually picked a subordinate.
That subordinate, rubbing his hands with anticipation, stood in front of Rong Ling.
Sang Qin took out a revolver from his waist holster, opened the chamber, put in a bullet, and spun the cylinder randomly.
Li Yufei said: “Why don’t you just name your price directly?”
Sang Qin: “I like people who know their place.”
He was pressuring Li Yufei to name a price.
Sang Qin walked up to Li Yufei and said slowly: “Before I boarded the ship, I heard that there were many wealthy and powerful people on board, among them a formidable female entrepreneur. I don’t know her name, but I heard she’s worth trillions. Is that person you?”
Even before boarding the ship, he had learned that there were many affluent and influential people on this vessel, including a female entrepreneur worth billions or even trillions.
If he could find her and use her as a hostage, this deal would certainly be a huge profit.
However, all first-class customer lists were confidential.
Li Yufei smiled faintly: “Oh? Is there such a person? Never heard of it.”
Originally, he didn’t intend to hijack the ship; his target was merely a man named “Luo Geng.” This man was significant in the coin circle, having recently harvested over a billion in Myanmar and fled with the money.
Luo Geng didn’t know that he had thus offended Sang Qin; part of the funds he absconded with belonged to Sang Qin.
Sang Qin tracked him onto the cruise, extracted information on the keys fruitlessly, knowing very well that once the keys were handed over, he was as good as dead.
From the first night after boarding, Luo Geng was kept under control in his room, along with his female companion, who was used as a hostage. After a day and night of interrogation, he resolutely refused to confess, knowing that if he could endure another day, the cruise would dock at Port City, and he would have a chance at survival!
But he overestimated Sang Qin’s patience and underestimated his ruthlessness. When he still refused, Sang Qin didn’t want to waste time on him; he brutally stabbed him in the throat in front of his fiancée, killing him.
Sang Qin knew that the cruise ship would dock at Port City, and having committed such an act on the ship, there was no way he could disembark there; thus, he planned a major heist, taking the ship hostage, seizing control of the captain’s cabin, and forcing the vessel out into the Public Sea. He quickly contacted his subordinates to meet and cut off all signals from the cruise.
Li Yufei knew Sang Qin’s modus operandi; she knew he was indiscriminate in killing, valuing money over life.
Sang Qin didn’t know the background of the tourists on board, but he knew every first-class passenger was significant, and he had learned that several multi-billionaire entrepreneurs were staying in the first-class cabins.
Although Li Yufei initially offered $50 million US Dollars, he felt comfortable with it, but seeing her calm reaction in crisis, he suddenly became curious about just how much this woman was worth.
It seemed, this man was her weakness and also her breakthrough point.
If he guessed correctly, this man should be the boy toy she kept around!
Wealthy female entrepreneurs having a few young men to pamper was already a common occurrence.
He just wanted to see how much Li Yufei would pay for this “young man.”
“First round, $50 million US Dollars.”
As Sang Qin spoke, he handed the revolver to Rong Ling.
Rong Ling looked at the revolver in his hand, hesitated slightly, and then reached out to take it.
As soon as he gripped the revolver, Sang Qin’s subordinates raised their submachine guns and rifles, aiming at him!
Should he dare to make a reckless move with the gun, the next moment, he would be riddled with bullets.
Li Yufei was about to say something, but Rong Ling said: “Am I supposed to go first?”
Sang Qin replied: “Kid, I guess your luck can’t be that bad. It’s only a one in six chance on the first shot.”
Rong Ling said: “Do you perhaps overestimate me? Is my life worth $50 million? What have I done to deserve such worth?”
The gun was already loaded.
Rong Ling held the gun, raised his hand, and lightly pressed the muzzle against his temple.
The cold metal muzzle exuded a chilling coldness.
Li Yufei clenched her fists, no one knew if that one-in-six chance would fall upon him.
Sang Qin: “You can fire now.”
Everyone was so scared they didn’t dare to speak.
Some even covered their eyes, not daring to see the potentially bloody scene that was about to unfold!
Rong Ling took a deep breath, closed his eyes, nervously strained, and gently pulled the trigger!
“Click.”
Empty chamber.
Li Yufei’s eyes widened, and cold sweat trickled down her forehead, dripping off the corner of her eye.
Sang Qin came over and took the gun from his hand: “Congratulations, you’re really lucky.”
He casually handed the gun to a subordinate.
The subordinate carefully accepted the gun, eyes filled with fear and excitement!
Who isn’t afraid of death.
But if one could survive a round, there would be $500,000!
Sang Qin said: “Fire.”
The subordinate, trembling, pressed the muzzle against his temple, continuously licking his dry lips, looking up at the ceiling, and finally summoned the courage to pull the trigger!
“Bang!!”
A line of blood splattered, spraying onto Li Yufei’s face.
The bullet pierced through the skull.
A moment ago, the person was alive, now they collapsed limply to the floor.
“Ah—!!!”
“Oh my god!!”
The banquet hall erupted with cries of terror!
Someone screamed in horror!
Li Yufei raised her hand, her fingertips touching her cheek, feeling the sticky blood, glimpsing with her peripheral vision, the corpse lying at her feet.
“Hahaha!”
Sang Qin laughed maniacally: “Such bad luck. The gun went off on the first round.”
He looked at his subordinate’s body and, with some displeasure, frowned: “Take care of his body.”
“Yes.”
