Daily Intelligence: Starting Out, I Won a Thirty Million Lottery Grand Prize

chapter 17 - The Party Begins


Hello, sir, do you have a reservation?" As soon as Su Yun entered the Haitien Grand Hotel, a hostess came forward to ask him."Yes, private room 106." Su Yun replied, based on the information from the group chat."Alright, sir, 106 is this way, the third room after you turn right. Enjoy your meal." The hostess guided him halfway, and then Su Yun walked towards it alone.Arriving in front of private room 106, Su Yun found the door was already open, but with a slight gap.A rustling sound came from inside. Su Yun quietly peeked in and then turned on his phone's camera.He saw a row of green plants arranged in the large room, six in total from left to right.A man, Zhang Li, was pacing back and forth in front of the six potted plants, holding a dagger. He seemed to be planning which pot would be best to hide the dagger for easy access.Su Yun couldn't help but feel that Zhang Li was not meticulous at all in his actions; he didn't even prepare early for such a thing!After much deliberation, Zhang Li stopped in front of the third pot. After three seconds of thought, he placed the dagger inside, then took a deep breath and returned to the table to sit down.Su Yun turned off the camera; everything just now had been recorded and could serve as evidence.After waiting a few seconds outside the door, Su Yun pushed the door open directly, startling Zhang Li."Class monitor, it's been years, and your aura has really grown!" Su Yun said with a grin."Oh! Su Yun's here! Come, you can tidy up the tables and chairs." Zhang Li showed no enthusiasm upon seeing Su Yun, as he knew he couldn't get any money from Su Yun."Class monitor, you came so early, why didn't you do it yourself?" Su Yun sat down, showing no intention of moving. The tables and chairs in the room were already arranged, and Zhang Li was clearly just trying to show off his authority."Hmm?" Zhang Li glanced at Su Yun, frowned, but said nothing more.Su Yun, on the other hand, observed Zhang Li. He wasn't very strong, but he was more than enough to deal with a weak ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) woman. Moreover, the pinky finger on one of his hands was severed!And it looked like a recent wound!This meant something must have happened in the past two days!"Class monitor, what happened to your pinky finger?" Su Yun asked, staring at the severed finger.Hearing this, Zhang Li was visibly flustered, involuntarily retracting his hand, his expression clearly shifting from panic to fear."It's nothing... nothing...""I just accidentally cut it with a cutting machine yesterday...""It was my carelessness, but luckily it's nothing serious."Zhang Li was undoubtedly lying. With current medical technology, a severed finger can be reattached in a short time, and his claim of it being cut by a cutting machine was clearly a desperate excuse.Su Yun thought for a moment and immediately understood the reason for Zhang Li's injury.A gambling debt of thirty million. It was probably a warning, with them severing one of his fingers!From this, it could be inferred that Zhang Li only came up with the idea of kidnapping Bai Qian yesterday!But no matter the reason, as long as he committed such an act, he would only end up in jail.Su Yun felt no pity or sympathy for such a person."Oh, oh, that must have been very painful. To witness your own finger being severed, Class Monitor, you're quite tough! If it were me, I would have fainted on the spot..." Su Yun deliberately made Zhang Li recall the scene of his finger being cut off.Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhang Li trembled. When his finger was severed yesterday, he was indeed in immense pain and had fainted, but he couldn't admit it."Hahahahaha... you sit there for a bit. I have a business call. You know my business is too big... too many calls..." Zhang Li finished speaking, grabbed his phone, and hurried out.Seeing Zhang Li leave, Su Yun quickly took out the plastic dagger, then swiftly went to the flowerpot where Zhang Li had hidden the dagger, and swapped them.The entire process was seamless, taking only a few seconds!After swapping the items, Su Yun headed towards the restroom. Just as he reached the restroom door, he heard a very faint voice from inside:"Brother Dao, don't worry, I'll give you the money tonight..."It was clearly Zhang Li's voice. Su Yun didn't intend to disturb him, so he went to the restroom on the other side.Zhang Li walked out of the restroom, looked left and right, confirming that his voice hadn't been heard by anyone, ensuring his plan was foolproof!But what he didn't expect was that his plan had been full of holes from beginning to end... Soon, many classmates arrived. Four years had brought significant changes; some originally ordinary boys and girls now had improved appearances.Upon entering and seeing Su Yun, everyone greeted him warmly, while the class monitor, Zhang Li, was ignored.Before long, Bai Qian also arrived, accompanied by a girl who was quite attractive, named Liu Yan.Su Yun noticed that as soon as Liu Yan entered, she exchanged a glance with Zhang Li. Zhang Li's eyes were intently looking towards the flowerpot where the dagger was hidden!"So these two are accomplices! Liu Yan probably revealed that Bai Qian was rich." Su Yun mused internally.Sure enough, he saw Liu Yan enthusiastically pull Bai Qian to sit near the third flowerpot!Seeing Bai Qian sit down, Zhang Li visibly relaxed and gave Liu Yan an approving look."Oh? Su Yun, you came early? Why don't you sit next to Qian Qian? We haven't seen each other for many years, and I have a lot I want to talk to you about."Liu Yan directly invited Su Yun, and Su Yun was also taken aback, not knowing what Liu Yan was up to.But this worked out well; he could now legitimately be next to Bai Qian."Alright! It's been many years, I've missed you quite a bit..." Su Yun said casually, his gaze also observing Zhang Li, who was just looking down at his phone, making no movements."Really? Oh, my! You're making me blush!""To be honest with you! Many girls had a crush on you back then, and I was one of them!" Liu Yan also opened up, stating frankly that she was very beautiful, but with a hint of flirtatiousness.And her nose was clearly surgically altered."Really? Then you can openly pursue me now..." Su Yun said jokingly as he sat down."Hahahahaha, alright, alright, we'll keep in touch often!" Liu Yan laughed, pulling Bai Qian, while simultaneously observing Su Yun's wrist.She seemed a little disappointed when she noticed Su Yun wasn't wearing a watch.Su Yun secretly disdained Liu Yan, thinking she was probably already involved with Zhang Li.Who was Zhang Li? A man who could owe three million in gambling debts!Liu Yan must also frequently get involved with such people. Su Yun found the idea of dating her disgusting!He wondered why he had said what he did just now.Everyone in the room was seated, chatting with each other, reminiscing about embarrassing moments from years past. Laughter filled the air, and the entire room was full of smiles.Soon, dishes were brought out one by one, a rich spread, all appealing in color, aroma, and taste.After all the dishes were served, Zhang Li adjusted his collar, confirmed Bai Qian's position, then directly raised a glass of wine and said:"Ahem, since everyone has come here at my command, as the center of our group, the backbone of our classmates, I'll say a few more words!"
