Chapter 268 There’s a Woman To Your Liking
The scoreboard had a countdown timer of the bidding at the same time as well.
There was not more than three hours left.
As the digits on the board rose swiftly, it only came to Mu Zhi’s realization that the others had their
photos edited beautifully, whereas her picture had been edited to look older.
If one did not look carefully, they wouldn’t even recognize Mu Zhi from the photo.
The more careful Mu Zhi looked at it, the more disappointed she was.
The digital scoreboard’s lights now lighted up the originally crepuscular room. The expression on the
women’s face could be seen this minute. The woman on the lead was ecstatic for her victory that she
was seen jumping and squealing in joy. The others started to look more laid-back as the gap from the
last kept expanding.
It was still risky for the ninth place.
There was still a possibility of being taken over in the past, but because of Mu Zhi’s poor performance,
the ninth-place started to lower her guards.
All of them formed a clique laughing at Mu Zhi.
Only the woman who had a short conversation with Mu Zhi walked over with empathy in her eyes and
comforted her, “Don’t worry. It is said that even though you are finishing in last, there’s a possibility that
the mafioso would favor you, so you still have a chance.”
Mu Zhi nodded and thanked her.
She was grateful for her kindness.
They have got to the point where there was too much evil, and a little demonstration of kindness was
worth feeling grateful for.
She knew that these were solely words to put her at ease. There was only a probability of about 1 in
1,000 or 1 in 10,000 that this would happen.
Mu Zhi raised her head again and stared at the changing digits on the scoreboard. The longer she
looked, the more despair she felt.
She walked back to the corner languidly and leaned against the wall as she awaited the last judgment.

An unmistakably handsome man with a beard that hid his face admired the interchanging posters on
the screen. While puffing on his cigar, his lips curled into a smile.
He picked up his phone and casually dialed a number which he has not rung since coon’s age. Then,
he spoke to the other end of the phone calmly, “Hey, bro?”
An impatient voice came from the other end of the phone, “Spit. If you don’t have anything to say, hang
up!”
“Hey, don’t. Don’t.”
The bearded man continued to joke, “Did you miss me? Have you ever thought of coming to Las Vegas
to see me?”
“Which gambling house did you owe again and cannot pay for your ransom, are you here to cheat
me?”
Although Lu Jinye was responding to the joke, his tone did not soften.
His eyes did not leave the computer screen for one second.
It has been five days since Mu Zhi disappeared. He knew that anything could have happened in those
five days. He had deployed the smartest, widest ranges of searches, as well as the most likable ways
he could think of to find Mu Zhi, but to no avail.
Now, Lu Jinye had started to monitor every surveillance camerato try and track down more clues.
This was the most time-consuming yet least effective way and the only way left to find Mu Zhi at
present!
Lu Jinye tapped onto the tabletop impatiently with his fingertips. Every tap was like a death knell in his
heart.
He greeted the voice on the other end of the phone, “Mo Fei, if there’s nothing important, and you only
called to relive the past, there will be a time in the future to do so. I am afraid I don’t have time for you
right now.”
After saying this, Lu Jinye was about to hang up.
Suddenly Mo Fei’s tone became serious. He told Lu Jinye solemnly, “Lu Jinye, I owed you my life five
years ago. I shall pay you back now, ok?”
Lu Jinye frowned when he heard Mo Fei, “Why, are you tired of living your life and ready to commit
suicide?”
Lu Jinye’s response caused Mo Fei to smile.
Although the both of them did not meet each other often, they were brilliant and did not need much
contact to connect to each other’s minds.
In the past, Lu Jinye could still handle his conversations no matter how occupied he was.
But this time, he was absent-minded from the anxiety that he was experiencing.
Perhaps the only thing that could make Lu Jinye jittery was the woman on the screen who was now
ranked first from the bottom.
It seemed freshly strange as Mo Fei came to think of it.
He must not let go of this golden opportunity to tease Lu Jinye properly.
So he replied again, “Don’t worry, I am not committing suicide. I will tell you about a new game in our
underground casino here.”
Lu Jinye continued to stare at the screen.
Lu Jinye had a very high IQ. Completing Olympiad’s mathematical questions while having a meeting
was a piece of cake to him, let alone do something while he was on the phone.
Before Lu Jinye could answer, Mo Fei started his soapbox, “There will be ten chosen beautiful women
in this game. The women will put on different clothing styles for the gamblers to choose and vote for the
ones they wish to purchase and watch their performance. The woman with the most votes will be
released as the goddess, while the last will be sent to the lions’ den as food without even having the
chance to appear before the public’s eyes.”
“I’m not interested in this kind of game.”
Lu Jinye didn’t wait for Mo Fei to finish and straightaway concluded.
Mo Fei smiled as soon as Lu Jinye finished his words, “Don’t jump to conclusions first. I think there is a
woman in here who might suit you well, so I am about to enter the gambling house to win some money
and buy her for you.”
Mo Fei spoke jokingly.
“It’s okay, you can keep it for yourself.”
Lu Jinye was already ready to hang up when he said this.
But Mo Fei suddenly cried out.
“Don’t, don’t hang up in a hurry. Look at the photo I just sent you and see if you are interested or not.”
Lu Jinye hung up the phone as soon as Mo Fei finished speaking.
At the same time, Lu Jinye received a photo on his phone.
When Lu Jinye saw that photo, his eyebrows knitted tightly against each other!
He glanced at the photo carefully and instantly rang Mo Fei up, shouting at him hysterically, “Tell me
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhere you are right now!”
Mo Fei gently let out a smile and sent his location to Lu Jinye, adding, “There are two and a half hours
left before the performance begins.”
“The voting will stop an hour before this two and a half hour ends.”
