Chapter 545 (2/2)
The stalwart man shook his head and said, “Even though I want to inform the Boss, but he hasn’t come back yet, so I can do nothing about it.”
“Tang Xiu hasn’t come back yet?” Asked Ouyang Lei.
“Yes!” The stalwart man nodded.
“Tang Xiu hasn’t come back, but Gu Xiaoxue should have come back by now, right?” Asked Ouyang Lei.
“Our Little Boss isn’t back yet as well,” said the stalwart man.
“You’re lying to me, aren’t you?” Ouyang Lei angrily yelled. “Tang Xiu is my future brother-in-law. He’ll become a family member of our Ouyang house. Now, I have important things that I need to see him about, and yet you guys are obstructing me. Tang Xiu will definitely punish you later. Allow us to pass immediately, we must go inside.”
“This…” The stalwart man naturally knew that Ouyang Lei was Ouyang Lulu’s biological brother, and was also aware that the relationship between Ouyang Lulu and his Boss was out of the ordinary. Even the relationship between the Little Boss—Gu Xiaoxue and Ouyang Lulu was akin to sisters.
“What’s up here?”
The patrol team of the Everlasting Feast Hall arrived, as a middle-aged man whose rank was slightly higher came forward and asked in a deep voice. The stalwart man then explained the situation, and even said the relationship between Ouyang Lei and Tang Xiu.
The middle-aged man looked at Ouyang Lei with a smiling face and said, “Mr. Ouyang, properly speaking, I shouldn’t reveal the whereabouts of my Boss. But since you’re not an outsider, then I might as well tell you. Our Boss and Little Boss are currently sailing to the sea tonight, and I don’t know when they’ll return.”
“They are going to the sea?” Ouyang Lei frowned. “What are they doing so late at night at sea?”
The middle-aged man shook his head, “That I don’t know! But what I just told you is the truth.”
Ouyang Lei fell into silence for a while before he walked back to the car and reported the situation to Ouyang Wenzhen, as the latter then finally said, “Assign someone to stay and wait for Tang Xiu. Report immediately once he comes back. As for us, let’s go back first.”
“Understood!”
At this time, amid the groove of trees a few tens of meters away from the gate, Yang Le clammed a toothpick on the corner of his mouth, as a faint smile outlined on his handsome face. He had indeed spent quite some time and energy to find Ouyang Lei’s residence and ‘did’ something there. The result seemed to be very good as it even made Ouyang Lei bring a lot of people and come here so late at night.
Pity that Tang Xiu has already gone to the sea, though. Ouyang Lei, even if you come back early tomorrow, I’m afraid you still won’t be able to see him. Hahaha… just agonize for a while!
Yang Le muttered to himself and then disappeared into the woods with a grin.
However, just as he had left for half a minute and was not across the woods yet, a large hand stretched out from behind a tree and grabbed his neck from the back.
“If you don’t want to die, then stay still.”
A deep and low voice sounded behind Yang Le.
Despite being strong mentally, Yang Le was still scared out of his wits and shocked due to the sudden incident. He was very confident in his skills, more so toward his topmost ability in hiding and concealment. But he didn’t expect that he, who was always extremely alert, didn’t sense the slightest presence of the opposite party.
“No, don’t misunderstand me!” Yang Le’s voice somewhat shivered as he raised his hands in an instant. “I’m Tang Xiu’s friend, a VIP guest of the Everlasting Feast Hall.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three ghostly figures flashed, and the iron-clamping hand was removed from the back of Yang Le’s neck. These three experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall were the ones on patrol duty and surrounded Yang Le in the middle of a triangle battle formation. One of them scrutinized Yang Le before he cupped his fist and said, “Mr. Yang, I’m sorry. But the Everlasting Feast Hall has a rule that it’s not allowed to stroll out of the accommodations area in the middle of the night. It’s just that your stealthy movements back then made us unable to find you earlier.”
Yang Le rubbed the back of his neck. He sized up the three men with a scared and frightened look, and then forced a smile and said, “What are you people in the Everlasting Feast Hall? Monsters? I’m a famous godly thief, yet I feel that after meeting you guys, all of you are more suitable than me in this sneaking about business, no?”
“Sorry!” The big man replied once again.
Squeezing out a bitter smile, Yang Le waved his hand and said, “Before Tang Xiu left, he told me the many customs of your Everlasting Feast Hall. Forget it, since you forbid me to stroll around late at night, then I’ll go back to sleep. Remember not to tell anyone about me, though.”
“I understand!” The big man nodded.
