“Old man, you’re so stubborn, just sign the papers. I’ll win this time, and we’ll split the money together if we win.”
Boss He gestured to the lottery official to open the bet, then he turned his head and asked Lin Kang, “Little brother, what are you betting on this time?”
“Big.”
“You’ve bet on big so many times, don’t you want to change?”
“I want big, I just like big.”
Boss He shook his head with a smile and placed all the chips the waiter brought on the big, and I scanned the pair of corneas pledged for a hundred thousand dollars.
One hundred thousand dollars, maybe Chen Ruhai sometimes eats a meal for more than a hundred thousand dollars, he would never in his life think that his eyes would one day be sold.
Soon, the colour was opened and it was a point, too small to be a point.
Lin Kang was dumbfounded this time, a little embarra*sed, and said, “There are losers and winners in gambling cards.”
The two guards held him down, and he had long since lost his rampant enthusiasm, so he shrank back and said, “What for?”
Boss He was still polite and said, “Little brother, you’ve lost again this time.”
“I lost, but I didn’t lose. You can have the corneas, but it wasn’t mine that was pledged at the time, it was Chen Ruhai’s, it was his.” Lin Kang pointed at Chen Ruhai.
I was so used to Chen Ruhai’s shamelessness that I was not surprised that he would behave in this manner. It was just that the other spectators were still shocked by his shamelessness and all whispered accusations of how he could behave like this.
Instead of blushing at the comment, Lin Kang became even more rampant: “What? Is it my name that is signed on this black and white paper? It’s Chen Ruhai. What the hell are you asking me for? Go away!”
He let go of the crowd to leave, but the security guards blocked his way and Lin Kang panicked a little.
Boss He laughed, “Little brother, I’m a serious businessman, of course I won’t mess around, this contract was signed in black and white, I’ll ask whoever wrote it. But after all, it is the money you lost, now I am taking Chen Ruhai to have his cornea removed, I also need you to be a witness, so that there is no confusion later.”
Lin Kang, a man who can’t turn his head, didn’t think much about it, and once he heard that he didn’t have to be responsible, he agreed.
“Boss He, you have so many customers here, I’m sure you won’t even mess around for the sake of your reputation. Otherwise who would dare to board your cruise ship in the future.” After some thought, Lin Kang added, probably because he felt that going with Boss He would still be a bit dangerous, so he gave a vague warning, hinting that Boss He should not act recklessly.
“That’s for sure, little brother, don’t worry.”
Boss He winked at the men under his command, and two security guards came up and tied up Chen Ruhai. Then Boss He put his arm around Lin Kang’s shoulders in a very intimate manner.
“Little brother, this way.”
In the past, Lin Kang used to hate to avoid Boss He when he came to the casino, when could he be hooked up like this and call him brother? He was drifting again, he was quite scared when he was walking just now, but at this moment he forgot all about his fears and was wandering around like no other.
I followed them from a distance as the group wore out the door and walked out onto the deck.
It was very windy on deck at this time of year and the open sea outside was pitch black, with occasional patches of plankton emitting a faint luminescence that mirrored the bright itinerary in the sky, beautiful beyond words, but also exuding a wild beauty beyond human control.
I didn’t get too close because the place was deserted and if I got too close I would be spotted.
Boss He asked, “Little brother, do you know who he is? The head of the Giant Grace Group. I have to make sure with you first, if I take his corneas, what if he seeks revenge on you later?”
Lin Kang was very open-minded and laughed, “You don’t have to worry about that, he wouldn’t dare to seek revenge on me, I have his secret in my hand. Chen Ruhai, don’t look at me like that, your cornea can’t be considered as removed for me, it can only be considered as removed for your son. Your son, Chen Yu Zhou, is not a good person, he is unfilial, that’s why you have this bad luck today. If you have time to look at me now, you might as well look at the sea twice more, you won’t be able to see it in the future.”
The wind on deck was so strong that they had to speak with a roar, but there was no one else on deck and they were not afraid that their conversation would be overheard.
Boss He asked, “What could make Boss Chen willingly donate all his corneas? Little brother, you are very capable.”
“It’s not that I’m capable, it’s because his son’s body is crooked and his shadow is crooked too, that’s why he’s afraid of people and things. Chen Ruhai, be open-minded, this exclusive secret of mine is worth the price, consider it a hush money payment.”
The four guards lined up against the edge of the deck, waiting for Boss He’s orders.
Chen Ruhai was tied up in knots, his face cloudy.
When Lin Kang saw that they had no intention of leaving, he asked, “Taking the corneas here? It’s so windy?”
Just as his words finished asking, he looked down in surprise at his stomach, where Boss He had grabbed a knife and plunged it into his stomach.
Stunned, Lin Kang reached out and wiped the dripping blood twice before Boss He pulled the knife out, then turned and got Chen Ruhai’s ropes free.
“You, you ……”
Boss He didn’t even look at him as he held Chen Ruhai: “Senior brother, I’ve made you suffer.”
Chen Ruhai’s face was a dark mess as he pushed Boss He away and rushed straight towards Lin Kang.
Lin Kang was scared to death, there was no way to retreat, behind him was the sea, to fall into the sea at this time would be tantamount to death.
“What secrets do you have, do you want to tell them all in front of us, the master and brothers?” Chen Ruhai asked through clenched teeth.
“You, you want to kill to silence ……”
“Yes, that’s the only thing you guessed right tonight.”
“Murder, crime, law ……”
Chen Ruhai pressed Lin Kang’s shoulder, and Lin Kang subconsciously grabbed Chen Ruhai back.
“Stupid, this is the high seas.” Chen Ruhai’s pupils dilated violently, “Go to hell.”
As soon as he pushed, Lin Kang’s figure floated down from the third floor deck and disappeared into the thrashing sea.
Chen Ruhai looked at the gloomy sea, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and reveal a grim smile.
As soon as he and Boss He left the deck, I immediately jumped into the sea.
The night water was dense and impervious to light, so all I could do was chew on the small torch I had just retrieved from my body-saving bag and look around for Lin Kang.
The waves were so strong at night that I was not just thrown up by them and then slammed heavily back into the sea. The salty seawater was constantly washing over my eyes and it hurt so much that I could barely open them.
It was only with great difficulty that I finally saw Lin Kang, who was already unconscious. I tied him with a rope, then swam to the boat, grabbed the rope on the boat and climbed up first, before dragging Lin Kang up.
The wound on Lin Kang’s stomach was not too big, Boss He used a small knife that he carried with him, the wound was only about a finger’s width, I put my finger in and tried it, it was not too deep and did not hurt his internal organs, mainly because he had drunk too much water.
