Ning Long's words struck me like a bolt from the blue, making my whole body tremble.
Master Zhao grew so powerful, his wealth so immense that even officials had to show him some respect; it was certain he wasn't dealing purely in clean trades.
But never in my wildest dreams did I expect him to be discussing a marijuana deal with us.
Those who dared to dabble in such business were fierce, each more ruthless than the last, and falling into their hands, the consequences were too terrifying even to contemplate.
My heart pounded like a drum, my fingertips trembling along with it.
Ning Long sneered as he grabbed me and pulled me back. Cheng Yu was still tangled up fighting those men, and only turned around when Ning Long called out to him, coming to a halt the moment he saw me in Ning Long's gunpoint grip.
