Actor, and Actor

The chief instantly froze on the spot.
He abruptly turned his head to look at "Li Ruohong", but the latter merely looked at him with a half-smile, like a venomous snake that had torn off its disguise.
"You..."
"Chief Wang has spent quite a bit of thought on our Cabaret recently." "Li Ruohong" leisurely took a sip of champagne, "Business in the shop has been sluggish these past two days, completely relying on the support of the Chief's people. If I don't toast you a glass for this, it would really be a little unreasonable."
While speaking, "Li Ruohong" raised his wine glass on his own and gently clinked it with the glass in the chief's hand, letting out a crisp sound.
Ding—!
The chief frowned and looked at him, completely unable to understand what this guy was thinking.
Was he exposing himself right to his face?
Although the chief had long guessed that Li Ruohong was a member of the Dusk Society, there was no reason for the other party to hide for so long and then suddenly jump out to expose himself now... Unless, he had no need to continue hiding?
But why? What exactly did he want to do??
The chief secretly mobilized his Spiritual Power, all his Divine Path Skills poised to strike. At this distance, he was confident he could suppress "Li Ruohong," but at this moment, "Li Ruohong" unhurriedly spoke again:
"Chief Wang, today is the birthday banquet held by the Beidou Consortium. Almost all the important figures of the Red Dust Main City are gathered here... Do you want to guess what gift I prepared?"
The chief's heart sank, "What?"
"A bomb."
"Li Ruohong" raised his hand and made an explosion gesture, "A bomb enough to blow the entire venue sky-high. As long as my mind moves, everyone here will be blown into the sky. Whether they are from the political circle, business circle, or those highly influential stars, they will all become a grand firework... The Red Dust Main City will also completely fall into chaos."
The chief's face instantly became incredibly ugly!
He understood... He finally understood.
Those two Dusk Society members had hidden secretly in the Cabaret for so long, but suddenly chose to enter the venue together with Li Ruohong today. And facing his probing, Li Ruohong completely shed his disguise, because to them, continuing to disguise had no meaning anymore...
The Dusk Society's target from the very beginning was this birthday banquet itself! They wanted to blow up everyone here and plunge the entire Main City into chaos and panic!
Perhaps this was the first step for the Dusk Society to destroy the Red Dust Domain, just like how they annihilated the Ruoshui Domain and the Aurora Domain.
"You guys are really a bunch of lunatics!! A bunch of desperadoes!" The chief's neck turned red with anger, veins bulging one by one.
He knew the Dusk Society's plan, but it was already too late. He didn't dare to make a move against "Li Ruohong" now, because he was afraid that the moment he made a move, the entire venue would vanish into thin air...
"Hehe, thanks for the compliment."
"Li Ruohong" raised the champagne in his hand and clinked glasses with the chief again, his smile incredibly bright.
Just as the two were talking, a few guests passed by the front of the canopy, laughing and talking. Seeing the two sitting and talking together in the corner, they raised their hands to greet them:
"Yo, Young Master Ruohong, what are you laughing so happily about?"
"Huh... Chief Wang is also here?"
"Little Wang ah, your complexion doesn't look too good. Do you need me to call a Doctor?"
The chief recognized these people. They were the director of the Price Bureau, the director of the Road Administration Bureau, and a senior figure specially in charge of law formulation and revision. Every single one of them was crucial to the Red Dust Main City. Yet at this moment, they still didn't know what kind of fatal crisis was hidden beneath this seemingly lively and peaceful venue.
The chief's chest heaved violently. He didn't know how to face them. At the same time, "Li Ruohong's" enthusiastic voice rang out beside him:
"It's nothing. I was just chatting with Chief Wang about his first love, so he blushed, hahaha... Please do as you please, everyone. I'll come toast you all in a while."
"First love? To think Chief Wang is still an innocent big boy, hahahaha!"
"Alright, alright, then you guys continue chatting. We'll go sit on the side first."
As the crowd left, only the chief and "Li Ruohong" were left under the canopy again.
The chief took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down, and spoke hoarsely,
"So, you're not Li Ruohong at all, right? As far as I know, Li Ruohong has never left the Red Dust Main City, nor does he possess the qualifications to join the Dusk Society. His personality is completely different from yours..."
"Of course I'm not that trash playboy, he was killed by me a long time ago." A brilliant smile appeared on "Li Ruohong's" face,
"If you'd like, you can also call me... Six of Hearts."
"Six of Hearts, I know you." A glint flashed in the chief's eyes, "The chief culprit who assassinated the Lord of the Aurora, one of the factors in the destruction of the Aurora Domain, possessing extremely strong disguise abilities, and a formidable vitality suspected to be [Asura]... I've seen your wanted photo from [Floating Life Painting], it's the image of you standing on the front of a train, smiling as you turned into flying ash... At that time, I thought this person is an absolute lunatic through and through!
Over half a year ago, [Floating Life Painting] also said they discovered your traces in a small town in the Red Dust Domain, but didn't catch you in the end... You really did sneak into the Main City."
"It seems you guys pay quite a bit of attention to me."
"Li Ruohong" raised an eyebrow in surprise. Regarding his photo spreading to the Red Dust Domain, he really hadn't expected it. It should have been someone among the group that fled the Aurora Domain by train who brought the newspaper out.
"Do you think you can escape smoothly after blowing up the venue?" The chief said in a deep voice, "[Floating Life Painting] won't let you go... and neither will I."
"Hahaha, I really think I can run, what to do?" "Li Ruohong's" eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you want to make a bet with me?"
"Bet on what?"
"If I fail to run, I'll allow you to hang my corpse up for public display; if I run... I'll come back to find you, how about it?"
The chief froze for a moment and couldn't help but curse, "Six of Hearts, you are indeed a lunatic!"
Just as the two were talking, a figure walked straight towards the canopy.
"Excuse me, is this Chief Wang Jincheng?" The person asked cautiously, "I ran into a little trouble... I'd like to ask Chief Wang for a favor."
"I don't have time to help right now!"
The chief raised his head, saw the figure in front of him, and was slightly taken aback.
It was a figure holding an Oiled Paper Umbrella, with an exceptionally handsome appearance. In the pattering drizzle, a Great Crimson Theatrical Robe swayed gently in the wind. On the corner of the Theatrical Robe, there was a very inconspicuous small blue flower fluttering slightly.
The person pursed his lips and still spoke:
"Jinghong Theater Thespian Lin Yan... requests the Chief to uphold justice."
