Chen Qingdi shrugged. "The car isn’t mine. I just hitched a ride after I landed. I got out when we reached this farm and bought the racecourse from that lady. I’m not here for oil. My goal is to run this racecourse and make my fortune."
Suddenly noticing the two identical beauties standing in front of Chen Qingdi, Ruth smiled.
"Such beautiful Eastern girls!"
The two girls thanked her modestly and stood obediently behind Chen Qingdi.
Chen Qingdi smiled. "I spent thirteen million dollars on this racecourse. Has Miss Ruth taken a liking to it as well? If you want to buy it, I have no objection."
Ruth paused for a moment. "How did you know I came here to buy your racecourse?"
Chen Qingdi smiled. "The little princess of the Belart Clan doesn’t allow anyone to outshine her. Whatever you set your eyes on, you must buy it at any cost. I’d rather not end up as a corpse out in the wild!"
Ruth snorted. "Thirteen million dollars... I think that’s too expensive. If you sell it to me, I’m only offering one hundred thousand dollars. So, are you selling or not?"
Chen Qingdi just smiled nonchalantly. "Well, I’ve stayed here for three nights. One hundred thousand it is. Cash for the deed."
Ruth shook her head.
"No, *you* give *me* one hundred thousand dollars!"
’I give you a hundred thousand dollars, and then I give you the racecourse? Why don’t you just rob me instead?’
’Damn, this *is* a robbery!’
Chen Qingdi sneered. "You really want a hundred thousand dollars?"
Ruth sneered back. "If you keep hesitating, it won’t be just a hundred thousand anymore!"
Chen Qingdi shot to his feet. "I don’t want to cause any bloodshed. The racecourse is no longer for sale. You should leave!"
Ruth sneered. "You’ll regret this!"
Even though Gao San wanted to keep the peace, he couldn’t contain his rage when he heard that.
"I’d love to see just how you’re going to make me regret this!"
Ruth made a call. "I’m at Sunset Racecourse. Get over here and help me deal with a holdout."
Before long, several armored vehicles surrounded the place, and someone inside began shouting through a loudspeaker.
"Everyone inside, put your hands up! Put your hands on your head and get on the ground, or you will be eliminated!"
Ruth glanced at Chen Qingdi. "Now, you’re not leaving here without giving me a million dollars!"
Chen Qingdi sneered. "Fine. I’ll give you a million dollars."
Ruth sneered. "It would’ve been better if you’d been this sensible from the start. You just had to make it difficult!"
Before the words were even out of her mouth, Chen Qingdi’s body blurred into an afterimage. In an instant, he was in front of her, his hand gripping her neck.
Ruth’s own body was now blocking the guns aimed at Chen Qingdi, and a scalpel had instantly appeared in his hand.
"Miss, didn’t you want a million dollars? Tell me, where should I make the first cut?"
Miss Ruth watched in terror as he traced the blade across her face, so frightened she almost lost control of her bladder.
"I wanted US dollars, not for you to cut me a million times!"
Chen Qingdi knew that for people like Ruth, ’reason’ wasn’t in their vocabulary. The only thing she understood was violence.
With a light flick of the blade, a gruesome gash instantly appeared on Ruth’s face!
"Are you a robber?"
Before her voice faded, he slashed her other cheek.
Only then did she finally understand the gap between her and Chen Qingdi.
"Please, don’t cut me again! I don’t want your racecourse anymore!"
Chen Qingdi sneered. "Tell these people to get the hell out of here!"
Terrified, Ruth quickly called her men and told them to disperse.
"Do you still want this racecourse? Then find someone who can speak like a civilized human to negotiate with me!"
The moment Ruth hesitated, he carved a cross into one of her cheeks.
Although her face was now severely wounded, she didn’t dare show any anger.
"I don’t dare to want this racecourse ever again! Let me go, and we’ll be even!"
Chen Qingdi ordered Gu Shuang’Er to prepare a contract. It stated that the other party would drop the matter of what just occurred and would not take any hostile action against his racecourse, or else...
Suddenly feeling that the contract alone wasn’t enough to prevent her from breaking her word, he abruptly took out a black pill and stuffed it into her mouth.
"After taking this pill, you will die within three days if you don’t have the antidote!"
Ruth fell to her knees in terror. "Why are you doing this to me?"
Chen Qingdi glanced at the small, gold-plated car.
"I know your methods are always dirty, and I don’t want to end up like the owner of this car. Regardless, if I die today, then three days later will be the day you die too. You figure it out. And I still haven’t given you the nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-seven ’cuts’ I owe you!"
Terrified, Ruth quickly said, "I don’t want them! Let’s just call it even!"
Seeing her so terrified, Chen Qingdi was no longer in the mood to torment her. He waved his hand dismissively, telling her to get lost.
But that night, he suddenly heard a noise outside his villa. He turned on the lights, looked down, and saw an agile figure climbing up the exterior wall.
Even when the intruder saw Chen Qingdi shine a flashlight on him, he didn’t stop. Instead, he fired his gun upwards.
’An assassin sent by Ruth,’ Chen Qingdi realized.
’Her methods are as dirty as ever.’ Thinking this, he quickly found the bulletproof vest Long Shou had issued him and put it on.
In that short moment, the assassin suddenly leaped through the window, the dark muzzle of his gun aimed straight at Chen Qingdi’s heart.
"Our doctors have confirmed that you poisoned Miss Ruth with an unknown, potent toxin. I’m warning you: hand over the antidote immediately, or today is the day you die!"
Chen Qingdi sneered. "Sorry, there is no antidote!"
As soon as his words fell, a muzzle flash erupted from the barrel. THWAP-THWAP-THWAP. Three bullets slammed into his chest.
However, Chen Qingdi was only knocked back slightly, completely unharmed.
In the split second that his opponent was stunned, he lunged forward recklessly. Using a gun-disarming technique from traditional Martial Arts, he not only snatched the weapon but also broke the man’s arm.
Turning the tables, Chen Qingdi aimed the gun at the man’s knees and fired twice.
The assassin screamed and collapsed in a pool of blood.
Chen Qingdi found the phone book with Ruth’s number from earlier.
"Send someone over right now to drag this piece of trash you sent back! This isn’t a crematorium, I don’t dispose of bodies!"
Not long after, a young man arrived before Chen Qingdi, followed by a group of heavily armed bodyguards.
The young man pointed at Chen Qingdi and began to curse him out.
"You piece of trash! How dare you mess with our Belart Clan! Today is the day you die."
