Their eyes met. Qiu Tu's gaze was sharp and cold, while Old Bai's was gentle, harmlessly gentle.
Qiu Tu was silent for two seconds before suddenly breaking into a laugh, then said, "Old Bai, with our relationship, even if I don't help others, I'll definitely help you."
Saying this, Qiu Tu extended his hand with a smile and said, "Pleasure to cooperate."
Seeing Qiu Tu agree, Old Bai smiled and extended his hand as well.
Their hands clasped across the chessboard, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
A moment later, the tense atmosphere eased, their hands released each other, and the smiles on their faces grew more genuine.
Qiu Tu tossed the black pawn in his hand into the chess box with a smile, then said, "Now that we've discussed the cooperation, it's time to talk about the reward."
"Old Bai, with our relationship, you definitely won't shortchange me, right?"
Old Bai was momentarily dumbfounded by Qiu Tu's words.
