The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1331: Chapter 1331: Zhang Ya’Er’s Past

Lin Tian also had a smoking addiction, but that was during the time from the first year of high school to the end of the third year.

Back then, it was relatively immature, thinking that smoking was something trendy and cool. He often saved meal and internet money with Wu Yong to buy cigarettes. As for where to smoke, sometimes it was the bamboo grove behind the school or the boys’ restroom.

After accepting the transmission of the Tyrant Emperor’s Record, his body went through a cleansing, and the smoking addiction naturally faded. He couldn’t even finish a pack in a month.

Lin Tian touched his pocket, realizing he didn’t have cigarettes on him, he had left them in the car.

Wu Yong got the hint, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket, placed them in front of Zhang Ya’Er, and said, "The taste of these cigarettes can be strong, you might not be used to it."

There is a big difference between men’s and women’s cigarettes. Not considering other factors, just in terms of taste. Women’s cigarettes are mostly fruit-flavored, fragrant and light. Men’s cigarettes are more about being mellow and natural.

Boys find women’s cigarettes tasteless, and vice versa for girls.

"It’s fine." Zhang Ya’Er smiled faintly, took a cigarette, placed it delicately in her mouth, lit it gracefully, and smoked on her own.

You have to admit, women smoking often looks more graceful than men. Their hand gestures holding the cigarette and the way they puff are more alluring than usual.

Lin Tian and Wu Yong didn’t hurry her, and once Zhang Ya’Er finished the cigarette, just when they thought she would start talking, she unexpectedly coughed heavily twice. It seemed like she needed another puff to be satisfied.

Lin Tian, quick on his feet, snatched the cigarette away immediately and said, "You still have injuries, smoke less."

Zhang Ya’Er’s lips turned downwards slightly, sounding slightly spoiled with a touch of grievance, ultimately having to give up in the face of Lin Tian’s firm stance.

"I can speak if you want. But you need to first tell me, what did the people from Tianya Haijiao City say to you? What’s the connection with the Luban Lock on the table?" Zhang Ya’Er said.

This matter didn’t need to be kept a secret, so Lin Tian naturally laid everything out, repeating everything he knew.

Hearing about the card sharp casino’s machine catching fire and the casino patriarch’s house catching fire, Zhang Ya’Er almost showed no expression, clearly aware of this affair.

But when mentioning the theft of the safe and the disappearance of the Luban Lock, Zhang Ya’Er’s expression visibly changed.

There was a hint of shock, and at one point, an ’ah, I see’ expression.

Lin Tian could also read another message from her expression; she seemed reluctant to recall the event as if it left a psychological shadow?

Zhang Ya’Er looked at Lin Tian and asked, "Do you also think that the Luban Lock’s disappearance is related to me?"

"Isn’t it? But seeing your expression just now when faced with this Luban Lock image, I believe you haven’t seen the real Luban Lock. But to say that you have nothing to do with this, I really have no reason to believe that."

"Actually... those machines catching fire really have something to do with us..."

What she means by us naturally includes herself, DS, and that man from the East Continent.

Turns out, five years ago, Zhang Ya’Er was just muddling around in a small card sharp casino, discovered by one of Du Dahai’s men who noticed her agile hands and feet, then took her in to work under Du Dahai for two years, however always in covert operations.

After two years under Du Dahai, Zhang Ya’Er planned to retire, clean hands and feet, figuring that frequently walking by the riverside, it’s hard not to get your shoes wet.

However, Du Dahai wouldn’t allow her to retire; instead, he gave her a new mission to go to Tianya Haijiao City and act as a croupier at a casino.

Of course, it wasn’t easy for a woman from the Celestial Dragon Continent to become a croupier there. Du Dahai maneuvered for a long time, using many connections to get her there.

Once at the casino in Tianya Haijiao City, Zhang Ya’Er underwent a complete transformation, including her identity, resume, and even her entire fashion style, making her look like a completely different person.

Initially, Zhang Ya’Er thought she would receive a new mission upon arriving in Tianya Haijiao City, but soon she discovered she felt like a bird who had escaped its cage, experiencing an unprecedented sense of freedom.

In that casino, Zhang Ya’Er felt relaxed, yet simultaneously experienced the allure and flourishing prosperity of Tianya Haijiao City, a sharp contrast to the shadier casinos in Kanyue City. No, Kanyue City’s gambling places didn’t even count as dirt!

With such enriching experiences, coupled with a high degree of freedom, three years passed quickly. Zhang Ya’Er almost forgot her true identity since she enjoyed her life and didn’t wish to reminisce about the past.

Until one day... it was a thunderstorm night, around 2 am when Zhang Ya’Er, off work, returned to her rented apartment, only to find someone waiting inside for her.

In that moment, Zhang Ya’Er knew her free life in Tianya Haijiao City was over...

Sure enough, the person inside issued a command—to create chaos in the casino, the more chaotic, the better. She would have two assistants along the way.

Unexpectedly, the assistants mentioned by the person were two of her colleagues, whom she had no previous knowledge of!

Initially, Zhang Ya’Er resisted this order; she didn’t want to be a puppet manipulated by others!

But life’s bitterness is ’wants unmet’; Zhang Ya’Er had no choice but to follow orders, or the consequences... she couldn’t bear to face them.

After a series of planning steps, they finally decided to use self-combustion of the machines to create chaos. The reasons were as follows:

Firstly, triggering machine self-combustion was easy, requiring only some chemicals, with cautious handling, it was possible to leave no traces.

Secondly, machine self-combustion wouldn’t cause major consequences, at most just damaging some equipment without threatening anyone’s safety.

Hence, the fire happened.

Even now, Zhang Ya’Er still doesn’t understand the practical purpose of that fire. Was it just to cause the casino to lose some face? It seemed unnecessary.

"And then?" Lin Tian urged, asking.

"Then, the people in the casino were frantically searching for the three of us. Fortunately, Du Dahai had already arranged things, allowing us to take a cruise, then a plane, changing means of transport two or three times before returning to Kanyue City."

At this point, Zhang Ya’Er, still recalling with some lingering fear, said, "At that time, we almost didn’t make it out; the casino families’ influence there was extremely strong. Even now, thinking back still frightens me. What surprised me even more was their ability to track us to Kanyue City and find us here."
