“So, I can’t help you with the cooperation. I don’t want to have anything to do with the family affairs.” Charles shrugged and replied.

“I understand!” Yang Ming didn’t want to force Charles. He stood up and patted him on the shoulder. “Then take care. Hope to see you in Song Jiang!”

“Of course, I will go back. I still want to pursue Miss Zhou!” Charles said seriously.

“D*mn, do you need a beating?” Yang Ming was astounded listening to Charles’s words, and then he dumbfoundedly punched him. “What are you thinking in this head?”

“Isn’t your girlfriend Miss Wang?” Charles was unconcerned. He looked at Yang Ming provocatively. “What does Miss Zhou have to do with you?”

Yang Ming knew that this kid was taking Wang Xiaoyan to alienate him. In his opinion, Wang Xiaoyan was Yang Ming’s girlfriend. So at this moment, if he mentioned Zhou Jiajia, Yang Ming would not refute it. If Yang Ming wanted to deny it, wouldn’t it mean that he admitted that he had a relationship with Zhou Jiajia?

Charles’ wishful thought was very good, but what he didn’t expect was that Wang Xiaoyan said carelessly after listening to it, “I am Yang Ming’s lover, and Zhou Jiajia is his girlfriend.”

“Ah?” Charles was instantly stunned. Did this chick eat the wrong medicine? She said it so forthrightly… Charles sat stunned for a long time, and then he turned his head helplessly. “Well, I admit that you are bad*ss, but I still have the right to pursue Miss Zhou.”

“Do as you please. You’re on your own.” Yang Ming snorted. “I hope you still have this opportunity!”

“What do you mean?” Charles was dissatisfied with Yang Ming’s words. How do you know that I have no chance?

“Your dad is here,” Yang Ming said, pointing outside the bar.

“Damn, you’re lying, right?” Charles naturally did not believe him. He rolled his eyes. “Don’t deceive me with such low-intelligence lies without technical content. I will not be afraid.”

“Do as you please.” Yang Ming shrugged and stood up and left the bar with Wang Xiaoyan.

At the entrance of the bar, Wang Xiaoyan was suddenly stunned and looked at Yang Ming in disbelief. “How did you know that his family members came?”

“I guessed.” Yang Ming smiled and watched a large number of black-shirted men coming from all directions. They were the ones he saw at the entrance of the tea house.

“Guessed? Why would you guess so?” Wang Xiaoyan asked puzzled.

“It’s very simple. Do you think he can run away? His father probably installed a satellite positioning system in his mobile phone, or some other thing on his body,” Yang Ming said.

“That’s true. This kid is unlucky. He doesn’t know yet.” Wang Xiaoyan chuckled.

Yang Ming took out his mobile phone and called Old Buffon. “Where are you?”

“On Wharton Street, in a casino,” said Old Buffon.

“Why did you go to the casino?” Yang Ming frowned. Subconsciously, Yang Ming didn’t want Shu Ya to be in those places.

“Hehe, an old friend opened this casino, and they invited me enthusiastically. It was inappropriate for me not to go, so I came to walk around. Where are you?” asked Old Buffon.

Yang Ming heard that it was opened by a friend of Old Buffon, and he was relieved. He didn’t want Shu Ya to touch these social things.

“I also don’t know where.” Yang Ming looked around. He just followed Charles and went on a mad run. Who knew where this was?

“Then, you hail a taxi and come to the Alice Casino.” Old Buffon said, “It’s very famous. The taxi driver will know.”

“Okay.” Yang Ming hung up and said to Wang Xiaoyan, “These people actually went to the casino. Let’s go and see.”

“Alice Casino?” Wang Xiaoyan pondered after listening. “It seems that I’ve heard it before.”

“Old Buffon also says that it is very famous. Let’s go. We will go there.” Yang Ming said as he hailed a taxi and went with Wang Xiaoyan in the direction of the Alice Casino.

“I remember now. Alice is a very famous person. In Europe’s upper class, she is no worse than the Buffon family.” Wang Xiaoyan suddenly said, “There is a famous cruise ship called the Alice. It will invite all of the world’s social celebrities to the cruise ship every year.”

“Alice…” When he heard the name, Yang Ming was shocked and remembered something. When I met Su Ya for the first time, wasn’t it on the Alice?

Could it be that Alice? Rumor has it that it had a royal aristocratic lineage, and even a mysterious woman supported by a national power?

“What’s the matter? Have you heard of it?” asked Wang Xiaoyan.

“The first time I performed a mission, it was on the Alice.” Yang Ming whispered. Because these taxis were not like those in the Mainland, where the front and rear were separated by a partition, if you whispered here, the driver could hear it.

“Mission… Alice… Could it be…” Wang Xiaoyan was shocked and turned to look at Yang Ming. “Dorsk… You killed him?”

Yang Ming nodded. “It’s also a coincidence. At the time, this guy was thinking about molesting Shu Ya. As a result, Shu Ya saw the process of me killing Dorsk. At that time, I wanted to kill to prevent divulgence of my secret. I almost…”

Having said that, Yang Ming smiled at himself self-deprecatingly. “It almost became a tragedy.”

“Really? Isn’t she your first love? What eyes do you have? You could not recognize her?” Wang Xiaoyan was a little surprised. She did not really believe it.

“There were some unforeseen events in the middle. Shu Ya changed her appearance, so I didn’t recognize her.” Yang Ming was in a hurry when he introduced Shu Ya to Wang Xiaoyan, so he did not tell these details to her.

“It turns out to be like this.” Wang Xiaoyan was an assassin, so it was easier for her to accept things like changing appearance.

The car parked in front of a gorgeous palace; this was the Alice Casino mentioned by Old Buffon. Yang Ming paid the fare and got off with Wang Xiaoyan, but saw that Old Buffon was standing at the door waiting for him.

This made Yang Ming somewhat surprised. The person with an identity like Old Buffon, especially in this public place, still respected Yang Ming very much and did not care about the views of outsiders. It was really hard to encounter.

“Mr. Yang.” Old Buffon remembered Yang Ming’s instruction to refer to Yang Ming as “Mr. Yang” instead of Master when in public.

“Why are you waiting for me here? It’s fine just to instruct someone to pick me up personally.” Yang Ming said with some helplessness. Old Buffon personally picked him up, which made him become a focal point.

“How can that be?” Old Buffon smiled, then whispered, “Do not worry, Master. These security guards don’t recognize me.”

Yang Ming nodded, and along with Wang Xiaoyan, entered the casino with Old Buffon. They got in the elevator and went to the VIP room on the top floor of the casino.

Pushing open the door of a room, Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan walked in with Old Buffon and saw a fifteen-year-old girl chatting happily with Shu Ya. Mrs. Buffon was sitting at the side, listening with interest to the two girls chatting.

After Yang Ming came in, the girl smiled apologetically to Shu Ya, then stood up and greeted Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan. She said, “Hello, welcome, Uncle Buffon’s guests.”

Yang Ming was stunned. This girl is the owner here? She is only fifteen years old, right? Is she Alice?

Seeing that Yang Ming was a little astonished, Old Buffon quickly said, “Mr. Yang, this is Miss Alice, the owner of the casino.”

With Old Buffon’s confirmation, Yang Ming reached out with a little embarrassment and said, “Hello, Yang Ming. I am very glad to meet you.”

Alice shook hands with Yang Ming with an ambiguous smile, then pursed her lips and smiled, “Why? Are you puzzled about my age?”

“No, you misunderstood.” Yang Ming was debunked, so he was more awkward. “I am just curious. You should be a Westerner… the name Alice…”

“My surname is Ai; my name is Lisi. Is that wrong?” Alice glanced at Yang Ming. She was obviously not very satisfied with his excuse.

“Yes… Hehe…” Yang Ming gave two hollow laughs, and he was amazed. The legendary Alice is actually a fifteen-year-old Oriental girl. Moreover, the language she speaks is actually Chinese!

If Old Buffon’s Chinese had the European-style Chinese tones, then Alice was pure Mandarin. It was hard for Yang Ming to imagine that a European girl could speak such standard Mandarin.

Alice was a fan of Shu Ya. She once again sat back on the sofa and chatted with Shu Ya. She did not care about Yang Ming, Wang Xiaoyan, and Old Buffon.

Yang Ming was not angry at all. Although Alice’s identity may be very honorable, in the end, she’s still a fifteen-year-old child. Why would Yang Ming bother about her?

“Alice is this character. Don’t bother about her.” Old Buffon smiled.

For this somewhat mysterious Alice, Yang Ming had a feeling of incomprehensibility for the first time. How could a fifteen-year-old girl support such a huge business group? Even if she were a genius or had supernatural power, it didn’t seem possible.

Yang Ming did not really believe that she did all these without some powerful forces instructing her to do so. However, these things had nothing to do with Yang Ming, right?

Yang Ming purely regarded Alice as a child, so he did not go deep into it.

After a while, Alice and Shu Ya finished talking, then she stood up and said to the people present, “I apologize. There is a game today. I have to leave first.”

“A game?” Yang Ming looked at Old Buffon with doubt.

“A Korean gambling expert came to challenge. It is said that he has won over several casino consultants in a row.” Old Buffon said with a smile, “Let’s go and see.”

“Forget it.” Yang Ming didn’t want Shu Ya to touch these gambling things. He didn’t know why, but in his impression, Shu Ya was still the pure girl.

“Well, then we won’t go.” Old Buffon said, “Alice, then we won’t watch the game. I will come and see you the next time I am free.”

“Okay, Uncle Buffon, but remember to bring Sister Shu Ya together,” said Alice.

“Definitely.” Old Buffon nodded with a smile.

Alice walked Old Buffon and his wife, Shu Ya, Yang Ming, and Wang Xiaoyan to the elevator, and they left. After they got into the elevator, Alice took out her phone and dialed a number.

“Brother, I saw Yang Ming,” Alice said faintly.

No one knew what the person said on the other side. Alice nodded and hung up.

Shu Ya’s first concert tour in Europe was held as scheduled. Yang Ming, Wang Xiaoyan, and Old Buffon sat together in the VIP seats and watched Shu Ya’s performance on stage.

What surprised Yang Ming was that Alice also came and sat on the other side of Yang Ming. At the moment, she was holding a bag of popcorn and quietly watched Shu Ya who was on the stage.

It was completely a picture of a quiet girl, which made Yang Ming more and more surprised at how the huge business group behind Alice was formed.

Here, the songs of Shu Ya’s concert were different from those in Asia. Many songs had been replaced with English ones, and several old English songs had been added. However, Shu Ya’s reserved tracks still appeared in Chinese. For example, “Childhood Romance” and “Boy at the Same Table” and so on…

Previously, it seemed that no one knew about the official earthquake caused by Shu Ya; only a few people at the top knew about it. The fans present did not know what had happened before.

As for the substitution of the mayor, they were not likely to link these together.

“Hey, let me tell you something.” Yang Ming was immersed in Shu Ya’s voice, but he was interrupted by Alice.

“What?” Yang Ming was slightly shocked. He and Alice did not say many words because they just met each other. He didn’t expect Alice to talk to him on her own initiative.

“I heard that your gambling is very powerful, and I want to ask you for a favor,” Alice said.

“How do you know?” Yang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

“I recognized you when I first saw you that day.” Alice said, “I have seen the video recordings of you in Macau.”

It turns out to be like this. Yang Ming sighed and didn’t expect that the limelight from Macau was already known to most people.

“What’s the favor?” Now that Alice had known it, Yang Ming had nothing to hide. He asked directly.

“I lost to that Korean. I want you to help me win over him.” Alice said, “You can ask for any reward as you please.”

“Heh, you are so sure that I can win over him?” Yang Ming smiled. “Moreover, if I want your casino, can you give it to me?”

“Yes.” Alice nodded with certainty, “Alice Casino, I have 67% of the shares in my hands. I can give you these shares, as long as you can win over him.”

Initially, Yang Ming was just joking, but Alice’s answer made Yang Ming somewhat astonished. You’ll really give the casino to me? He was just kidding. If Yang Ming got the casino, he had no time to run it!

“Ugh… I’m just joking.” Yang Ming said a little awkwardly.

“A real man does not go back on his words. How about it? Are you backing out?” Alice looked at Yang Ming with a despicable look.

“Okay, I promise you, but I don’t want the casino,” said Yang Ming.

“Then what do you want?” asked Alice.

“I want you.” Yang Ming decided to tease the little girl.

“I haven’t grown up yet.” Alice was stunned and immediately understood what Yang Ming was referring to. Her face slightly blushed.

“It doesn’t matter. I like young and naive ones…” Yang Ming said with a look like a weird uncle, “Moreover, according to your local laws, fourteen years old is considered an adult, right?”

Alice frowned. After a long while, she asked, “Are you serious?”

Yang Ming nodded.

“Okay, deal.” Alice bit her lip and said, “But be careful to let Shu Ya and Wang Xiaoyan know, and are you not afraid of me entangling with you?”

Yang Ming did not expect that Alice would agree to this excessive request, and was somewhat surprised. He didn’t want to compete with the Korean gambling master. Besides doing the mission, Yang Ming came here to see Shu Ya, so he tried to be low-key and didn’t want to be a public figure again.

So after Alice made this request, Yang Ming began to ask for a sky-high price. First, he asked for the chick’s casino; he didn’t expect her to agree to it so forthrightly. So, Yang Ming began to take the lead and put forward more demanding requirements.

But what Yang Ming did not expect was that Alice actually agreed! This made Yang Ming very astonished. She can agree with this request? Yang Ming said with some helplessness, “I am just joking…”

“Are you a man? Why are you sentimental like an old woman?” Alice frowned and said somewhat disdainfully.

Yang Ming was a little annoyed. He thought, I am not a man? I just didn’t want to bother about you. Seeing that you are a child, I asked a few difficult requests to make you back out. If it were someone else, I would refuse directly!

I did not expect you to agree to these requirements. This made Yang Ming a little bit annoyed. Especially when he heard Alice satirize that he was not a man, he was even more irritated, so he said coldly, “I have extreme fastidiousness, and I do not like second-hand goods.”

In Yang Ming’s opinion, Alice proved that she was more open when she could promise him this request. He also heard that many girls in Europe and America had sexual relationships when they were twelve or thirteen years old, so it was not a rare thing at all. Therefore, Yang Ming said so.

“Do not worry. I am very clean. It’s still my first time.” Although Alice thought that Yang Ming’s words were not so pleasant to listen to, she still replied.

Yang Ming was utterly speechless at this time. He didn’t expect that Alice solved all the difficult problems created by him.

“Okay. When is it?!” Yang Ming sighed in purely a helpless tone. He didn’t want to have anything to do with Alice. Although Alice seemed to have developed in places where it should be developed, this made Yang Ming feel a sense of guilt. Yang Ming was not that perverted yet.

“These two days. I will contact you after I have arranged it,” said Alice.

“Alright.” Yang Ming nodded. “Let’s talk after you arrange it. I hope I haven’t left yet.”

“I will talk to Uncle Buffon to have you stay for two more days,” said Alice.

Yang Ming thought, Alice probably doesn’t know about my relationship with Old Buffon. She thought that Old Buffon could interfere with my actions. However, let her think as she wished. Yang Ming was not willing to explain too much.
