Gu Lingfeng fell silent for a moment and then forced a smile, saying, "I... I just want to solve my problem."
I looked at him with deep eyes.
Gu Lingfeng felt uncomfortable under my gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Lord Ye, why are you looking at me like that?"
I replied slowly, "Brother Gu, the gambling debt you owe is eighty thousand taels of silver. I'm offering you thirty thousand taels. Don't you think that's too little?"
Gu Lingfeng's expression changed: "What... what do you mean?"
I smiled slightly, "It means nothing. I just want to say that this amount of money is enough to solve your problem."
Gu Lingfeng stared at me for a long time before suddenly sneering, "Lord Ye, are you testing me?"
I quietly looked at him and said, "You can understand it that way."
Gu Lingfeng's expression fluctuated between dark and light. After a while, he finally said, "I... I just want to solve my problem."
I replied indifferently, "Do you only want to solve your problem, or do you want to use this opportunity to eliminate Lu Yitau?"
Gu Lingfeng's body trembled, and he stared at me wide-eyed.
I said coldly, "If you only wanted to solve your problem, you could simply intercept the ransom. Why go through so much trouble trying to involve Lu Yitau?"
Sweat beaded on Gu Lingfeng's forehead: "I... I didn't..."
I interrupted him: "You did!"
Gu Lingfeng opened his mouth but couldn't find the words.
I looked at him and said clearly, "You want to take this opportunity to eliminate Lu Yitau. Am I right?"
Gu Lingfeng trembled continuously, fear evident in his eyes.
I said coldly, "You need money. You can earn it or borrow it. Why resort to such means?"
Gu Lingfeng swallowed hard and said hoarsely, "I... I have no other way. I... I really have no other way!"
I looked at him, a hint of pity flashing in my gaze, and slowly said, "I can help you, but you must agree to one condition."
Gu Lingfeng quickly asked, "What condition?"
I replied, "I need you to help me with something."
Gu Lingfeng hesitated and asked, "What is it?"
I shook my head. "You don't need to know that right now. Just tell me if you agree."
After a moment of hesitation, Gu Lingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I agree!"
A smile appeared on my face as I extended my hand and said, "Brother Gu, let's have a pleasant cooperation."
Gu Lingfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and forced a smile. "Pleasant cooperation."
I continued, "So, shouldn't you tell me the rest of the story now?"
Gu Lingfeng nodded and recounted the details of what had happened.
After listening, I furrowed my brows and fell into deep thought.
Gu Lingfeng cautiously looked at me and asked, "Lord Ye, what... what are you thinking?"
I raised my head to look at him. "I only have one question for you."
Gu Lingfeng quickly said, "My lord, please speak."
I looked at him intently and asked, "Why did Lu Yitau suddenly change his mind and raise the ransom to three million taels of silver?"
Gu Lingfeng's expression changed, and he lowered his head.
I stared at him for a moment, then sighed, "Brother Gu, take care of yourself."
Gu Lingfeng's face turned pale as he slowly stood up and walked towards the door.
Liu Liu suddenly blocked his way.
Gu Lingfeng frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Liu Liu coldly replied, "Brother Gu, have you forgotten something?"
Gu Lingfeng was taken aback. "What have I forgotten?"
Liu Liu patted the firearm at his waist. "This."
Gu Lingfeng's expression changed drastically. "What... what do you mean by this?"
