Chapter 255: Roll the Dice
Chapter 255: Roll the Dice
"If that's the case, then I won't trust anyone." Xing shook her head.
"Huang Quan might be hiding something, but Sha Jin's words are too obvious. She doesn't know who to trust, so she might as well trust no one."
"But Gold Dust doesn't care."
"It's okay. You can make your own judgment. Cultivating trust always takes time, and I'm willing to wait. I just hope you understand that surrounding that so-called inheritance... there are undercurrents at Pinocchio, and everyone has ulterior motives."
"Don't choose the wrong side. If I were you, I would keep my distance from Huang Quan. After all, a plan laid out in the open is far better than a monster lurking in the shadows, isn't it?"
"But who says there isn't a deeper conspiracy behind these superficial calculations?" The Black Swan, lurking in the shadows, suddenly appeared, highlighting this point."
Gold Dust said dissatisfiedly, "...I think our deal is over, Rememberer."
Black Swan ignored him and said to Xing, "Gold Dust is telling the truth. This memory is real, without any distortion or fabrication."
"Gold Dust didn't bother with Black Swan anymore and just revealed his purpose."
"Friend, let's cut to the chase and get straight to the point. I'd like to personally collaborate with Star Train."
"I've said before, I'm not interested in a battle for inheritance. I came to Pinocchio simply for work. I want to recover some lost assets for the company, you know, the ownership of the Border Prison."
"Thanks to the Cancer of All Worlds, this thing has long since gone bad. The company has tried to sit down and talk several times, but the family won't even open the door."
"Isn't that nonsense? If it were me, I wouldn't open the door for you!" Lu Buwei curled his lips.
Yes, Border Prison used to belong to your company.
But the problem is that the family has now gone to great lengths to transform the prison into a world-famous resort.
Now you say that the border prison is yours and you want to take it back?
For example, there is a person called Company who has a piece of wasteland, but he does not use it to cultivate crops, so it is left to waste.
Then a man named Jia Ren appeared. He saw a piece of wasteland with no one cultivating it, and shouted, "Is there anyone here? If no one wants me to pick it up, I'll take it home."
No one cares.
Then, the family cultivated the land, and they did a great job, with a bumper harvest every year.
When the family became rich, they built a large house on this land. It was magnificent and could be visited by people from all over the country.
But at this time the company came and said, your land is mine!
...As long as the family doesn’t smash the company’s head with a hammer, it can be considered a good-tempered family!
Of course, this is from the family's perspective. From the company's perspective, he also feels aggrieved... I didn't hear you when you shouted.
In short, this is indeed a bad debt.

"You have no idea how difficult these guys are to deal with."
"Gold Sand sighed helplessly."
"Let's put it this way. They were able to conceal the existence of 'Death' before, and they'll definitely be able to cover up the robin's death this time. It'll just vanish like a bubble, silently, with no one knowing... That's unfair, isn't it? So, my friend, I need your help."
"Xing: "I have my own plans."
"It's okay, I won't force you, but I don't want much. Why don't you just listen to me first, okay?"
"Xing nodded and signaled for Shajin to continue."
"The family gate is like a high wall. To tear it down, I have to carve a few holes. If there are any holes, the company will have plenty of means to deal with them."
"Now, our chance has arrived. If we can uncover the truth about the 'Mockingbird's Death,' we can both bring justice to the deceased and gain leverage in negotiations."
"You get the truth, and I get leverage. It's a win-win, isn't it, my friend?"
Xing realized the problem. “Why do you need my help? Your company is better at finding out the truth.”
"Friends, this truth is extremely detrimental to the family. They will definitely do everything they can to prevent outsiders from interfering, especially with the company. Therefore, I need you all. The Star Train is well-known, and Tongxie will give you the most fair evaluation."
"The case for placer gold is quite reasonable."
Xing shook her head: "I alone cannot represent the train."
"Don't worry, why don't you go back to your companions and talk to them first?" Gold Sand was not in a hurry to get an answer.
"Then, Gold Sand took out another amount of credits and gave it to Xing."
"If you want to conduct an investigation, you'll need some spare cash. Don't hesitate."
“Gold placer is really rich.”
Some ordinary people are so envious that their plasmolysis is almost severe.
"If only my master could be so generous!"
"Oh God! Please give me a good friend like Sha Jin who gives me money every day!"
"Don't even think about it. If you want a friend like Gold Dust, you must at least have a star core like Xing."
"Uh... let's be honest, I already have the Star Core, so having a friend like Gold Dust isn't really that important."
“I simply don’t eat beef!”
…………
"Golden Sand left on his own. Just like he said, he didn't mean to force anything."
"But Xing always feels like something is wrong."
"On the surface, this deal doesn't seem bad for you. But Shajin is a shrewd businessman, and his calculations are definitely not as simple as they seem."
"He doesn't know about Miss Liuying yet—but judging by your reaction, he might have noticed something. He's intentionally steered the conversation towards the 'truth behind death,' trapping you in his own logic."
"Quick reaction, clear logic... I must warn you, it is dangerous to cooperate with that man."
"The Black Swan on the side took the initiative to speak out a warning."
"But you said before that he was trustworthy." Xing was puzzled. You are contradicting yourself."
"Black Swan just chuckled and said, 'In my opinion, the two are not contradictory.'"
"Hmm..." Xing Ye was feeling unsure. "Can we roll the dice?"
"Leave it to fate? Your thinking is somewhat similar to that of the gambler." Black Swan said softly, "In any case, be cautious. There is more than one path to explore. In a dark forest surrounded by wolves, you must first ensure your own escape."
"Take me back first."
“Okay, follow me.”
"Black Swan led Xing through a chaotic dream. When she was about to send Xing out of the dream, Black Swan gave Xing a card as compensation for hiding something from her."
"After returning to reality, Xing suddenly received a lot of news."
"It's obvious that the others are worried because they can't contact her."
"She quickly sent a message to let them know she was safe, then rushed to meet up with the Clock Kid statue."
