Chapter 42: Chapter 40: Two Actors Each with Ulterior Motives
“Alright, sir, see you in half an hour!”
After ending the call, an Asian woman immediately entered one of the rooms. She needed to do some makeup and change her clothes.
Meanwhile, in another room, a man stepped out and licked his lips as he said, “I asked, the guest in Room 5188 even tips with a 100-dollar bill. Definitely a fat sheep, and most importantly, an Asian one at that!”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became spirited.
In America, Asians are considered the easiest to handle!
So, in their eyes, they didn’t just catch a fat sheep this time, but also one that was theirs for the slaughtering!
But what they didn’t know was that the fat sheep they believed in was about to become their relentless nightmare!
…
At Caesar Resort, inside Room 5188.
“Giggle, giggle, giggle…”
David looked at his watch. It had been exactly half an hour since the phone call, and those people were indeed punctual.
He glanced at Nisen, his expression somewhat playful as he said, “The show is about to start!”
“It’s your turn now!”
After dropping that line with a smile, Nisen walked into the side room.
David went to the door and opened it, finding a tall Asian woman with bangs standing gracefully in front of the door.
Looking down further, her legs were long and well-proportioned, tightly wrapped in black stockings, and she wore a pair of red high heels that made her overall appearance even more alluring.
After sizing up her figure, David’s gaze shifted to the top of her head.
[Name: Yang Yezi.]
[Occupation: Scam Artist.]
[Monthly Income: Ninety-two thousand and five hundred US dollars.]
[Income Details: On December 5th, at Horseshoe Bay Hotel, extorted thirty thousand US dollars in cash from a New York tourist using the honeytrap scam, profiting eight thousand dollars from the split; on December 9th, at Bellagio Hotel Room 9111, extorted fifty thousand US dollars in cash from a Los Angeles tourist…]
[More Details…]
[Tax Owed: Twenty-three thousand and one hundred and fifty US dollars.]
“What a profitable business…”
After examining the woman’s income situation, David couldn’t help but feel impressed.
But thinking about it, if she alone earns ninety thousand a month, the other four women probably aren’t far behind.
And her accomplices, if one were to estimate by extrapolation…
He figured it must be much higher than the four hundred thousand dollars reported by the intelligence department.
“What do you think, sir, am I to your satisfaction?”
“Of course, please come in!”
This woman named Yang Yezi entered the room without any guard.
David then closed the door behind her, went to the table, picked up two glasses of red wine he had prepared earlier, approached her, and said, “Miss, would you like a drink?”
Yang Yezi didn’t refuse, accepting the glass with a light smile.
In the time that followed, she didn’t rush to get to the main topic but started small talk with David.
And David, holding the belief that if one is to play a part, they must play it well, didn’t reveal his identity right away to avoid startling the snake, and played along with her pretense.
In this way, both harboring their own schemes, they chatted for about half an hour.
Yang Yezi pretended to lean on David, moving closer step by step under the influence of alcohol…
“Wait a minute…”
David stopped her actions and asked, “It seems you’ve forgotten something, we haven’t discussed money yet…”
“No!”
Before David could finish, Yang Ye’s delicate fingers sealed his lips, and she said with a sincere face, “David, you are very handsome, and I feel like we have a great connection. Your Asian heritage makes me feel close to you. I don’t want to ruin what we have over something as vulgar as money…”
As for David being handsome, that wasn’t against Yang Yezi’s true feelings. What really went against her feelings was the latter part of her statement.
Even scam artists need to have some skills.
If the subject of money came up, it would always be a transaction.
If they encountered a target not afraid of making a scene, things might end up with the police getting called and a difficult situation to resolve.
As soon as she entered, she used conversation to close the distance between them, and then with such affectionate words, she created a sense of empathy and emotion in the target.
With this approach, when the people waiting to create a scene arrived, the target would feel a sense of guilt.
They were drawn to ‘deep conversation’ with me because of my charm, not because of that vulgar money!
And now that the husband has caught us by accident, what’s wrong with spending some money to calm him down?
This tactic had never failed Yang Yezi and her group!
At this moment, David also found it rather amusing upon hearing such words.
If he hadn’t known the woman’s true identity, he might have been really moved by such passionate words!
But regardless, the performance had to go on.
David slapped his thigh as if moved, and responded, “You’re absolutely right, we shouldn’t let something as vulgar as money taint our affection…”
“What a pair of dogs…”
Inside the side room, Nisen, peering through the crack of the door at these two drama kings, could hardly contain his laughter.
This is turning into a real emotional affair!
He wondered what kind of face the woman would make once they revealed their true identities.
But before Nisen could continue mocking them, things were already heating up in the living room.
In the living room, David was puzzled; the woman’s accomplice was taking too long to show up.
If they didn’t appear soon, he might really have to ‘make a sacrifice for the country’.
“Bang!”
Just as he was inwardly bemoaning his luck, a loud noise at the door came as a relief!
“Fake Yau, you bastard, how dare you seduce my wife, I’m going to kill you, kill you!”
The first to enter was an Asian man who kicked the door open and charged in. He was followed by three burly men.
On the couch, Yang Ye appeared somewhat panicked and quickly moved away from David, covering her head as she walked to the other side.
Quickly, the Asian man rushed up to David, while the other three men positioned themselves to the east, south, and west, as if to prevent David from escaping.
“Fake Yau, I’m going to kill you, you bastard!”
The Asian man seemed even more enraged and instantly pulled out a revolver from his waistband. Seeing this, one of the men rushed over in a panic, continuously shouting ‘Don’t do anything rash’ and the like.
“Don’t stop me, this bastard dared to seduce my wife, even if Jesus came, I would still kill him!”
“Don’t, don’t, don’t, Xiāngchuān… let’s talk this out, don’t do anything that’ll lead to death!”
Watching the two’s coordinated routine, David found it amusing but didn’t interrupt their performance.
