Chapter 410 - Su Canye’s Affair (2/2)

Zhang Dashan scowled and decided to throw Xiao Luo a teaser. “A fine chick is looking for you, so I guess you don’t want to hear any more?” he mocked.

Xiao Luo helplessly let out a long breath before asking, “Who?”

“A police officer by the name of Gu Qianxue. She’s a cute one. She came to our company premises, barged into my office, and inquired about your location. She was ferocious, and I was afraid that she might be seeking you out for revenge, so I didn’t tell her. But who would’ve guessed that she’d actually pull out a sword and put it against my neck? F*ck, she really scared the sh*t out of your old daddy here!”

“Then, you told her?”

Xiao Luo pressed his palm on his forehead in resignation. Before he came to Xiahai, he specifically told Gu Zhanguo not to reveal his whereabouts to Gu Qianxue. Xiao Luo would not hear of it, for she was as pure as white snow while he was stained red with blood on his hands, reeking with the scent of death. He was quite reluctant to get himself entangled with Gu Qianxue for her sake.

“What else could I do? That sword was imposing. If you knew how dangerous the situation was, you wouldn’t blame me for telling her your whereabouts. Besides, how can you blame me for that? It was you who left the debt of love in Jiangcheng, but I was the one who had to face the burden on your behalf. Where is your sense of ethics?” Zhang Dashan cried.

“Hmm, tell me the truth. Did you bang her? Otherwise, why would she take out a sword right away when I refused to tell her?” Zhang Dashan mused.

Having to listen to Zhang Dashan and his innuendos, Xiao Luo felt his head throb, and he was lost for words. Was he saying that he slept with Gu Qianxue? All Xiao Luo knew was that his virtues were very much intact until that episode not too long ago, with the woman living opposite his apartment.

Of course, this was something personal that he’d only keep it to himself, and it wasn’t for anyone else to know about.

“I’m hanging up. Enough of your bullshit!”

Xiao Luo was exasperated and ended the call without ceremony, then flung the phone aside.

It troubled him that Gu Qianxue had been trying to trace him, and he expected her to be there soon.

Why was she looking for me? F*ck it. So be it, be my honored guest!

Having reconciled with the inevitable, Xiao Luo began to gradually feel at ease.

Then, the doorbell rang.

Xiao Luo got up and opened the door. A young man with his hair dyed an eye-catching electric-yellow, wearing ear studs and with black eyeliner smeared under his eyes stood at the door. His clothes were very trendy and gave a telling impression of his personality. His pants had holes in them, and for anyone from the older generation unfamiliar with the trend, they’d immediately think that he was penniless and unable to afford a new pair.

“Brother-in-law, you’re at home. I was just going to call you,” Su Canye said, flashing his trademark smile.

“Anything I can help you with?”

Xiao Luo had some reservations about Su Canye, and with the mood that he was in, Xiao Luo wasn’t at all enthusiastic, and it showed in his tone of voice.

“Brother-in-law, you’re so forgetful. It’s only been a few days, and you’ve forgotten what you promised me.”

“What did I promise you?”

“You promised to go to Wild Wolf Mountain and help me win back my Bentley.”

“Did I agree to that?”

“Yeah. You mustn’t go back on your promise, brother-in-law. A real man never goes back on his word,” Su Canye said, thumping his chest.

Xiao Luo tried to recall the incident—it happened in the car, and Su Xiaobei also pitched in to convince him to help Su Canye win his Bentley back. For the sake of getting some peace of mind, he relented, but he never meant to fulfill the promise. So, Xiao Luo decided to play hardball…

“I won’t admit to anything that I did not promise.”

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t force me to unleash my ultimate weapon, brother-in-law,” Su Canye retorted, puffing up his chest with the unmistakable hint of a threat.

Xiao Luo glanced at Su Canye contemptuously, making him question his ability to make good his threat. Xiao Luo then brushed past him and headed directly for Su Li’s apartment.

“Brother-in-law, I know that you are no ordinary man; otherwise, why would you own a Desert Eagle, am I right?” Su Canye taunted as he leaned against the doorframe with his hands across his chest. He appeared extremely confident, like a detective who had discovered something of the truth.
