In the photo was the very moment Xu Ke had let Qian Hong into the room, captured by Jiang Yi's camera.

Seeing this photo, Yuk Dalong was incredibly excited. "When did you take this?"

With these photos, he would be able to give an explanation to both the Li Family and the Ye Family. However, before Yuk Dalong could examine the photo fully, it self-destructed.

It was a self-destructing photo that Xu Ke had sent to Jiang Yi via an app, viewable for only five seconds before it would automatically be destroyed. Witnessing this, Yuk Dalong's face darkened. This Jiang Yi really is cautious!

"Today," Jiang Yi revealed a hint of a smile. "What do you think, President Yuk? Want to cooperate?"

"How much are you selling them for?" Yuk Dalong raised an eyebrow.

"Get my press card back for me, plus a payment of one hundred thousand per photo," Jiang Yi said slowly.

Yuk Dalong was taken aback, then let out a derisive laugh. "You sure know how to demand a king's ransom. Why don't you just go rob someone?"

"President Yuk, isn't one photo worth one hundred thousand? Are you underestimating the Li Family, or do you think I'm an idiot?" Jiang Yi sneered coldly.

Hearing this, Yuk Dalong's expression turned gloomy again. "It seems I have indeed underestimated you."

He could certainly obtain quite a bit from the Li Family; forking out one hundred thousand for a photo was feasible for him. But being strong-armed by Jiang Yi like this, Yuk Dalong couldn't help but be furious.

"It's not too late for you to realize that now, President Yuk," Jiang Yi said.

"Then at least let me inspect the goods, right?" Yuk Dalong huffed coldly. "You're asking for one hundred thousand per photo based on this single glimpse. What if the rest are all trash?"

"Of course, that's no problem. Please, follow me inside. My camera is in there." Jiang Yi pointed toward the men's restroom.

Yuk Dalong looked at Jiang Yi's gesture, then at the "Cleaning in Progress" sign Xu Ke had placed on the floor earlier, and immediately sneered, "What, are you planning to lure me in there to silence me?"

"Of course not," Jiang Yi said with a sly smile. "The sign is just to prevent others from overhearing our transaction. The bar is crowded and hectic, after all. We can't guarantee no one will eavesdrop, right, President Yuk?"

"Didn't we already say everything we needed to at the door, you idiot?" Yuk Dalong sneered. "Why don't you just go get the camera yourself? I can wait for you here."

Hearing this, a flicker of surprise crossed Jiang Yi's face. This isn't how the script was supposed to go. Xu Ke told me to lure Yuk Dalong in, and I came up with this method. It was supposed to be peaceful, without me having to get physical... But why isn't Yuk Dalong following my lead at all?

"What are you standing there for? Go get it," Yuk Dalong glared, his expression twisting into a sneer. "What? Is there some kind of trap hidden inside? As I see it, there's no camera at all. You're just trying to drag me into the restroom to get your revenge on me, aren't you?"

Yuk Dalong grinned menacingly. Seeing the astonishment on Jiang Yi's face, he knew he had seen right through him. This guy is far too young... How could he ever outsmart an old hand like me?

As he finished speaking, the two brawny men behind Yuk Dalong immediately closed in, ready to beat Jiang Yi up and take the photos. There was no one else in the hallway, so he wasn't worried about being exposed.

Fear flashed across Jiang Yi's face. Shit! How did things escalate to this point in the blink of an eye?!

At that moment, Xu Ke, watching from a hidden spot, shook his head at Jiang Yi. Actually, I did originally plan to handle luring Yuk Dalong in myself, but then I changed my mind. I need people who can do my dirty work, and Jiang Yi is a suitable candidate. For one, his intentions were filthy from the start when he tried to secretly photograph me. For another, he's already completely in my grasp. So, I hoped to use this situation to see how useful he could be and whether he could become that person for me. That's why I gave him free rein, and it's also why he's so nervous. Besides, even if this plan to trap Yuk Dalong fails, I can accept it. It's not like I have to pay any price. From the looks of it, Jiang Yi is still a bit too green. It looks like I have to do it myself after all, he thought.

With that, he turned and walked into one of the stalls. He looked at the camera placed on top of the toilet tank and gave it a push.

BANG!

The camera immediately crashed to the ground, making a harsh, piercing noise.

Jiang Yi's face fell, his expression one of intense heartache. "My camera!" he cried, hurriedly turning and running inside.

I knew this was the signal Xu Ke and I agreed on, he thought frantically. When I hear this sound, I just have to run in, no questions asked. But still... The heartache on his face wasn't feigned. That really is my camera! How could he just smash it like that?

Seeing Jiang Yi's reaction, Yuk Dalong was momentarily stunned. Did this kid really bring a camera?! Then that crash... was it really the camera breaking? My photos! What about my photos?!

Amidst this shocking turn of events, Yuk Dalong could no longer care about any potential danger in the restroom. With this kid's cautious nature, there's definitely no one else in there. Even if he has accomplices, my bodyguards can handle them.

"Yi Long, you watch the door. Don't let anyone in! Er Long, come with me!" Yuk Dalong shouted, then ran inside.

One of the bodyguards stayed behind while the other followed Yuk Dalong directly into the restroom.

Even for a public restroom, the one at the Golden K Bar was quite spacious. Yuk Dalong had to pass a row of sinks, then go around the urinals before finally reaching the stalls in the back.

Jiang Yi was standing in the innermost stall, holding the broken camera with a look of utter devastation. "Why did it have to break?!" His voice was a mournful lament, as if someone had just stolen five million from him.

Upon seeing this, Yuk Dalong's face changed. "The photos haven't been compromised, have they?!" he demanded, quickening his pace. He walked right up to the camera and saw the screen was filled with static. His anger surged. "It really is broken?! Where's the memory card? Pull it out!"

Er Long followed cautiously behind him, scanning the area for any sign of danger. But before he could catch up to the speeding Yuk Dalong, a dozen hair-thin Silver Needles burst forth from the darkness.

Er Long instantly slumped to the ground.

Seeing the movement behind Yuk Dalong, Jiang Yi roared furiously, "What the hell are you yelling at me for? This is MY camera!" He had to keep Yuk Dalong's attention.

As expected, Yuk Dalong's focus was immediately captured, and he failed to notice what had happened to Er Long.

At that moment, before Er Long's body could hit the floor, Xu Ke caught him, preventing him from making a sound. Seeing the neat row of Silver Needles embedded in Er Long's neck, Xu Ke chuckled inwardly. Don't blame me. If you weren't so overweight, I would have worried the poison wouldn't be effective. I wouldn't have needed to use so many needles.

Yuk Dalong still hadn't noticed Er Long's demise. He burst out in a thunderous rage, "What's with that attitude? Jiang Yi, don't you think for a second that I can't take you down!"
