Li Tiejun waved a hand and several of the men immediately started to shovel sand into the hole. When Su Di was buried up to the neck, Ye Fei clapped his hands, signaling them to stop.

Ye Fei squatted in front of Su Di, put a cigarette in his mouth, and lit it for him.

Su Di's lips were trembling. He didn't dare to puff on it, as he feared that once he smoked this cigarette, he would die.

"Come on! Aren't you so very arrogant? Aren't you going to spit your cigarette b.u.t.t at my pants?" Ye Fei sneered.

Su Di's face a.s.sumed the color of ash. "Brother... No, Young Master, I was wrong! Let me go, please! I'll be your slave!"

"My slave? Sorry, I don't want a slave like you, b.a.s.t.a.r.d."

Su Di was speechless.

Ye Fei stood up and asked Li Tiejun, "Do you know what time is the tide?"

Li Tiejun shook his head. Ye Fei looked at the sky and murmured, "Today is the 27th, so around four o'clock in the morning, the tide will start coming in. It's past two o'clock already."

"You can still live for another couple of hours. Or maybe you'll wriggle your way out of there when the sand turns to mud, hahaha! You still have a chance to survive," Li Tiejun laughed uproariously.

Su Di trembled. He really thought he was going to die.

Ye Fei quietly winked to Lin Qingwan to come over and pretend to be his personal secretary.

Lin Qingwan originally did not want to pretend to be his secretary, but imagining the look on that sc.u.mbag's face as he was buried alive, she promised to play the part of his secretary for a chance to see it up close.

After Lin Qingwan came over, she cleared her throat and announced, "Young Master, your father is looking for you."

Ye Fei s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone she offered him and loudly said, "Dad, why are you still up this late? Oh, I forgot, you're in America. Me? Haha, no, no, how could I be in trouble? I am just relaxing on the beach. I really am at the beach, not at the bar. What? Seriously? All right, I'll go there right away."

"For crying out loud!" Ye Fei groaned to Li Tiejun, "Mr. Jiang got drunk and smashed up our nightclub in Beijing. We have to go right away to see how bad the damage is."

"Mr. Jiang... Which Mr. Jiang? You mean Minister Jiang's grandson? That guy who calls himself one of the Four Capital Playboys? What a nutcase! How dare he mess up our club! I'll teach him a lesson."

Ye Fei hurriedly held up a finger, motioning Li Tiejun not to say any more, in case Su Di realized their charade.

However, Su Di had already been scared silly. He was just worried about whether he would live to see the dawn and didn't have time to wonder what the Four Capital Playboys were.

Ye Fei squatted down in front of Su Di and took the cigarette out of his mouth. "How dare you touch my girl? I wish I could see you slowly drown to death. Unfortunately, I have something to deal with, so I'll be going now."

Ye Fei took a long puff on the cigarette and spat the b.u.t.t at Su Di's face before leaving with Li Tiejun and the others.

Before getting into the car, Ye Fei loudly said to Lin Qingwan, "You stay here. Make sure the tide gets him, then go back."

"Yes, Young Master!" Lin Qingwan answered loudly.

Soon, only Su Di and Lin Qingwan remained on that lonely beach.

Seeing Ye Fei leave, the hopeless Su Di suddenly saw a chance to save himself. If he had any skill as a professional boy toy, it was smooth-talking girls.

"Beauty! Hey, beauty!" he began shouting.

Lin Qingwan walked over and glanced at him with indifference. "What do you want?"

"Hey, if you let me go, I will give you a lot of money. I swear, I'm rich!" Su Di shouted.

"A lot of money? How much? Where is it?"

Upon hearing talk of money, Lin Qingwan squatted in front of Su Di with a mildly interested expression.

"My bank card. There's one million Yuan on it!"

"In your bank card? Is that it? I'm only interested in real money. Do you get me? Not a bunch of numbers in a bank card."

By that point, the wind had picked up and the sea was battering the sand, splas.h.i.+ng salty droplets at Su Di's face.

He could almost see the dark waves, like a huge monster, crawling closer towards him little by little.

"I... I have a lot of jewelry!" he blurted out. "I stole it, I don't know how much it cost. It's in the flowerpot on the third floor of the villa where I live."

This didn't seem like the time to protect his dirty secrets.

"Jewelry? Hmm, sounds tempting."

Lin Qingwan smiled and send a text message to Ye Fei.

By then, Ye Fei had already returned to the downtown area and soon reached Su Di's villa. He found a box in the flowerpot and opened it to find a huge jumble of jewelry. Pearl, agate, amber… Su Di probably got all of it through his fraudulent schemes.

Ye Fei was not good at evaluating the value of jewelry, so he took a picture and sent it to Lin Qingwan.

She looked at it and immediately burst out laughing. Then she picked up a shovel and started digging the sand off of Su Di.

She had no experience using a shovel, so after a while, she got tired and said, "I'm beat. You can dig the rest out yourself."

Lin Qingwan turned to go.

"Huh?"

Su Di was stunned. He could move his arms now, but relying only on his own efforts, he would probably still drown to death.

"I gave you the money and the jewelry! How can you do this!?" he wailed.

"How can I do this? I know your jewelry is all cheap goods. Look, I'm getting blisters on my hands. You can dig yourself out. They say that when one looks death in the eye, their potential is unlimited."

Lin Qingwan bent down and whispered to Su Di, "Boy, you should know, you provoked a man you cannot afford to provoke. If the Young Master ever finds out you are still alive... You know what will happen to you."

After that, Lin Qingwan really went away, and Su Di started frantically sc.r.a.ping the sand off himself with his bare hands.

The sand was much softer than he had imagined and soon he managed to wriggle out, lying on the beach and panting like a dying dog.
