Chapter 549 (2/2)

“Understood!” Gu Xiaoxue nodded.

The passenger liner then returned to Jingmen Island late at night. The group didn’t stop and headed straight to the Everlasting Feast Hall’s HQ.

“What is this place, Tang Xiu?” A curious look was painted Cheng Yannan’s face as she asked and sized up the Everlasting Feast Hall’s manor with amazement.

“Jingmen Island’s Everlasting Feast Hall,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

“How long will we be stopping over? You said earlier you’ll let me stay on Clam Island, and now you bring me here. What exactly do you have in mind?”

“I found some looming dangers on Clam Island after investigating it. Hence I had to take you back for your safety.” Tang Xiu said. “Don’t worry, though. We’ll go back there, but I need to do something before we do that.”

“All right!” Cheng Yannan nodded.

Soon after, Cheng Yannan had been properly settled by a member of the Everlasting Feast Hall in the guest room next to Yang Le’s. In the middle of the night, when Tang Xiu and Gu Xiaoxue saw that Cheng Yannan had entered her room to rest, the door next room was opened as Yang Le, who was behaving stealthily like a thief, poked his head out. After seeing Tang Xiu and Gu Xiaoxue, he immediately smiled and straightened his back, “Brother Tang, you’re back! I’m afraid I was gonna die suffocated in this guest room if you didn’t come back. That Ouyang fella has been staying in the hall below since yesterday morning.”

Ouyang Lei?

Tang Xiu smiled and asked, “How come I didn’t see him when we arrived?”

Yang Le rolled his eyes, “Like you don’t know the many customs employed in the Everlasting Feast Hall. Nobody is allowed to get out of their guest room here, do you think that brat wants to leave? Regardless, I heard the Ouyang Family made quite a huge move yesterday. It seems like they closed many of their businesses. Hahaha…”

“What did you do, exactly?” Asked Tang Xiu. “How come the Ouyang Family made such a ruckus because of it?”

Yang Le strode forward and grabbed Tang Xiu’s arm and dragged him to his room, whereas Gu Xiaoxue followed behind out of curiosity.

After picking up several account books from the bookcase, Yang Le showed them to Tang Xiu and smilingly said, “Brother Tang, it was you who asked me to fix him up. Hence I checked his address and snatched some stuff from his place. These account books record most of the gray or black businesses belonging to the Ouyang Family that mustn’t come to light. Even though I can’t figure out some of the things on it, I dare say that the Ouyang Family will be in for quite the trouble if I were to disclose these records outside. Literally huge trouble!”

Tang Xiu grabbed the account books and started reading them. After flipping through them for more than ten minutes, a strange expression then appeared on his face. He now understood as to why Ouyang Lei was still here. The contents recorded on these account books were truly too… troublesome.

“The goal has been reached. This will be enough to make things hard for him, and he won’t be able to have a good sleep. I’m gonna call him over!”

After saying that, Tang Xiu took out his mobile phone and dialed Ouyang Lei’s cell number.

At this time, Ouyang Lei was currently smoking inside the guest room. His eyes were bloodshot, and the ringtone of his mobile phone startled him. He darted to the locker and grabbed his phone. When he saw the number on the screen he nearly cried, but no tears came out. With trembling fingers, he pressed the answer button and called out in a trembling voice, “Sister’s… no, that’s not right… Brother, Brother Tang Xiu, you finally called me back!”

A smile was outlined in Tang Xiu’s mouth as he said, “Oh my, wasn’t big brother Ouyang Lei calling me brother-in-law before? Ah, wrong, it should be prospective brother-in-law, right?”

“No no no… I won’t call you that even if I was beaten to death!” Ouyang Lei’s face was sullen. “Brother, Big Brother Tang Xiu, please tell me. Are my things in your hands?”

“Yeah, they are in my custody.” Tang Xiu laughed. “Do you want them back? Then go out and head to the hall on the first floor. I’ll be downstairs.”

“They are really in your hands? Great!!! I’ll be there right away.”

Ouyang Lei hung up the phone and his face transformed into one of ecstasy. He couldn’t care less about how Tang Xiu had made things so difficult for him by taking his account books away. As long as he could get them back, he wouldn’t refuse to face north to kowtow and bang his head on the ground eight times.

A few minutes later, Tang Xiu wore a faint smile as he brought Yang Le to the hall on the first floor. When he saw Ouyang Lei’s bloodshot eyes, messed up hair, and disheveled appearance, Tang Xiu handed him the account books and smilingly said, “What do you think? How did these two days feel like?”

After receiving the account books, Ouyang Lei didn’t even try to reply Tang Xiu. He quickly flipped over the account books and read the records on it. After discovering that everything was correct, he finally calmed down.

“Thank you. Thanks a lot, Brother Tang Xiu!”
