Chapter 787 The Cage of Innocence 27
You immediately guessed who it was.
A smile played on your lips, and your body unconsciously relaxed from its previous tense state.
"I just came to ask for some information. You won't tell me, but there's no rule that says I can't ask other people..." You shrugged and turned your head while winking playfully at someone. "What, you've only been apart for a short while, and you've already started missing me? You couldn't wait to come here."
A hint of helplessness flickered in Qin Che's eyes, but a doting smile played on his lips as he casually strolled to your side.
He loosened his collar, and as his long, slender fingers fell, his arm naturally wrapped around your shoulder and back, half-encircling you in his embrace. The posture seemed casual, yet it perfectly drew an invisible boundary at the edge of his territory.
"So? You got the answer?" The last syllable rose slightly, carrying a hint of nonchalant laziness.
You snuggled closer to him, pouting and muttering, "No, the people here... aren't very easy to talk to."
"Is that so?" Qin Che replied without even lifting his eyelids, but the moment his words fell, his eyes, which always seemed to be veiled by a thin mist, suddenly lifted.
His gaze swept casually across the surroundings, like a dragon sweeping across a wasteland. Though it carried no trace of ferocity, it made the air freeze instantly.
An invisible sense of oppression emanated from him, instantly engulfing the entire space.
Everyone present felt a tightness in their throats. The gazes that had been probing or hostile just moments before now froze in place as if they had been frozen in place.
Like a pack of wolves encountering a dragon patrolling its territory, the disparity in strength was too great, and instinctive fear gripped their hearts.
The figures that had been eager to make a move just moments before all became quiet and even breathed softly. Those overt or covert scrutiny now turned into cowering in fear.
Qin Che slightly raised his chin and pointed to the revolver at the bearded man's waist.
"Don't want to do business? Then play some games?" He looked casually at his fingertips, rubbing them a few times. "I heard that your gun has already driven away quite a few people who wanted to inquire about information."
The bearded man took a small step back and replied with a slight stutter, "Then... let's play 'roulette'."
He warily withdrew his gaze from Qin Che, his eyes darting back and forth between you and him. After swallowing hard, he finally realized he had drawn the revolver from his waist.
"Six magazines... three bullets... if I win... I'll... tell you what I know..."
You snatched the gun before Qin Che could make a move, and lightly weighed it in your hand.
Hmm... the weight of this gun...
The scene from that rainy night many years ago flashed quickly through your mind.
A familiar feeling quietly spread through your chest, and you subconsciously looked at Qin Che.
He smiled slightly and extended his large hand toward you.
You raised your eyebrows and placed your other hand on his palm.
"Okay, let's play this."
The next moment, you had a gun pressed against your temple.
"Click! Click! Click!"
Those three shots were fired so fast that everyone was stunned for two seconds before they realized what had just happened.
The revolver spun smoothly between your fingers.
"Bang!" You slammed your hand on the table.
Everyone present was awakened by the loud noise.
He slid the gun quickly past, stopping just in front of the bearded man.
