Qin Hao waved his hand, "I'm not talking about suspicious people targeting the casino. I'm talking about myself, understand?"
Tom fell into deep thought, while the others remained wary of each other. Since the boss mentioned a traitor, anyone could be suspicious. They had to be on guard.
Five minutes passed in silence.
During this time, Qin Hao didn't rush them and lay there in a nonchalant manner. The henchmen stood as if on thin ice, their bodies tense as strings, not daring to move.
Tom shook his head, sweating profusely, "Hao, I still don't understand what you mean. Suspicious people targeting you? But why?"
Of course, Qin Hao wouldn't reveal the reason, not even to a confidant like Tom.
He shook his head, "These are things you don't need to worry about. I just want you to tell me if there's anyone showing particular interest in me recently."
Silence, prolonged silence, as everyone racked their brains, unable to figure out the reason.
At this time, Hua's eyes lit up, "Boss, now that you mention it, I did notice someone recently."
These words surprised everyone; some were astonished, others excited, and some panicked.
Qin Hao raised an eyebrow, his tone fluctuating, "Who is it?"
Hua recounted with excitement, "It's that kid, Ah Mao. He's a temporary worker within the establishment. Mainly responsible for wiping tables and mopping floors. Recently, he kept asking to clean the boss's office. Initially, I didn't think much of it. But after hearing what you said, boss, it made me realize he might have ulterior motives!"
"Oh?"
With this explanation, Ah Mao did sound very suspicious. Qin Hao became a little interested, "Where is Ah Mao?"
Before Hua could speak, Tom pointed outside the door, "He should be in the temp workers' lounge."
"Go fetch him."
Qin Hao said calmly, and just as Tom and the others were about to leave, he added, "Hold on."
They stopped, faces tense with anxiety.
Qin Hao said calmly, "Let Brother Bi go."
"Thank you, boss!"
Hua rejoiced immediately, thinking that Qin Hao valued him with such a task. The path to prosperity seemed near.
The others were envious of Hua as Qin Hao referred to him as "Brother Bi" and entrusted him with the task.
Hua left the office with excitement. When he reached the lounge door, his expression returned to normal.
Entering, he found several night-shift workers playing card games.
"Black Spade K!"
"Can't play, pass!"
"Ah Mao, what's taking you so long? Play your card!"
The young workers were shouting loudly, but Ah Mao wasn't playing; instead, he was staring at the door.
The workers looked over and were startled to see Hua standing there, quickly putting away their cards.
"Oh, Manager Bi, good evening!"
"Manager Bi, have you eaten?"
"Manager Bi, if you don't mind, have a cigarette!"
Everyone surrounded him, offering flattery, and Ah Mao was among them.
Hua felt extremely pleased. In the past, he was an incorrigible gambler, always playing the pitiful character at the casino.
Now, having been promoted to manager, even those who once looked down on him came to flatter him. These pitiful workers were no exception.
While Hua was delighted, he didn't forget his task.
Since entering, he had identified two suspicions.
First, he entered silently without making a sound, so why did no one react except for Ah Mao, who noticed instantly?
Second, during the flattery, everyone else was overly enthusiastic, trying to be genuine, while Ah Mao seemed indifferent as if it were just a formality.
"This guy is definitely not a regular worker."
Instantly, Hua formed a hypothesis in his mind and took the task a bit more seriously.
Tom often boasted to him about how formidable Qin Hao was, with martial skills like Superman.
If Ah Mao was someone Qin Hao valued, he might also be a Martial Arts Expert.
With clear understanding, Hua knew he had to use a gentle approach, not a hard one.
He smiled, "Don't be shy, everyone. Let's go for a late-night snack after the shift."
"Sure thing."
"Thanks, Manager Bi."
Everyone was delighted, showering him with more flattery.
Internally amused, Hua admired his own acting skills and continued, "The boss's office is a bit dirty. Who wants to clean it up?"
As soon as he said that, everyone raised their hands, "I'll do it!"
Ah Mao was also among them, this time not just going through the motions but looking quite earnest and invested.
Hua feigned hesitation, and the others clamored even more fervently.
After a few seconds, he sighed, "You all are so eager. I'd want to take you all, but the boss's office has many valuable items. Having too many people wouldn't be convenient. How about this, Ah Mao, you go, since you've been cleaning recently anyway."
"Alas!"
The ones not chosen sighed in disappointment. The boss was seen as a Celestial God by the employees but rarely appeared. This might have been a chance to witness Fanghua, but unfortunately, they missed it.
"Thank you, Manager Bi!"
Ah Mao was overjoyed, eyes shining brightly.
That look startled Hua once again; damn, those gleaming eyes were unlike a down-and-out person. The suspicious person who upset Boss Qin was definitely him!
"Alright, let's go."
Hua said nonchalantly and turned to walk towards the door.
Ah Mao felt something was off with Hua today, as if he was subtly watching him? And his gaze held a hint of complexity?
"Have I been discovered?"
Ah Mao pondered, shaking his head with a smile. No way, the other party was just an ordinary person. If he had discovered anything, all his years of espionage training would have been in vain.
So he quickly followed, his steps surprisingly light.
After Hua entered, he winked at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao felt reassured, knowing the spy hadn't escaped.
Ah Mao followed shortly, and before he stood firm, Hua suddenly shut the door with a thud.
Ah Mao sensed things weren't simple from the sound of the door closing.
Seeing countless eyes staring at him, filled with various emotions.
Suspicion and anger were the most evident.
"What's going on? Have I been found out?"
Ah Mao's heart skipped a beat with some ominous thoughts. Seeing Qin Hao's eyes, sharp as a Sword, his expression involuntarily turned pale.
Initially, he could continue his act, but Qin Hao's piercing gaze seemed to see through the demons hiding in people's hearts.
Under such scrutiny, he felt immense pressure, inadvertently exposing his fear.
"Run?"
This was Ah Mao's only thought. He had contemplated turning and running out the door, but an invisible killing intent enveloped the area, rendering his body extremely rigid.
Forget running, even walking was difficult now.
Just the killing intent alone could make movement difficult?
The legendary Night Emperor, terrifying indeed!
