Chapter 664 (2/2)
“Brother Jie, if you believe me, it’s best not to investigate this suspicious aquatic monster. A man only has one life, and the number of strange things in the world is countless. Should there be an aquatic monster living there, the chances of you coming back alive is close to nil,” said Tang Xiu lightly.
Jie Walie was dumbfounded, and he couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Hahaha, that was so insightful, Brother Tang. Anyhow, I indeed have been living my life in a reckless and blind manner regardless of danger. What was that popular adage again? Umm, curiosity kills the cat, right? Hahaha, that’s right. It’s those words.”
Tang Xiu only smiled faintly in response and did not say more.
After the seven Wrangler SUV had trekked the road for two and half an hours, they finally arrived at a certain part of the forested mountain. At the end of the muddy road was actually the entrance to a magnificent-looking manor built behind, with four security guards on guard in front of the entrance. Each and every one of them had beards with stocky and sturdy builts, looking fierce and aggressive. Though they were holding electric batons in their hands, something was bulging in their waist; they were apparently carrying knives or firearms.
“Hahaha… Welcome, my friends. Welcome. Brother Walie, it’s been a long time ago since the last time you visited my grounds, right?” A loud and clear voice like the sound of bells was heard after the SUV drove inside. A middle-aged man with a braided beard and donning a fur coat greeted them, followed by two grim and fierce-looking bodyguards.
Jie Walie walked towards him and gave the man a big hug. After separating, he smiled and said, “Brother Gesangjor, I often wanted to come here to amuse myself, but business got me occupied and troubled all the time, so I have always been busy. In fact, a guest came from a faraway place to visit me, so I brought him here for recreation. Anyways, let me introduce you to this little brother of mine. He’s Tang Xiu. My former platoon leader introduced him to me.”
“Yuan Zhengxuan?” Gesangjor’s brows pricked up. He observed Tang Xiu for a moment before immediately walking forward, reaching out his hand and saying, “Brother Tang, welcome and have some fun. I’m Gesangjor, the owner of this hunting ground.”
“Nice to meet you, Brother Gesangjor,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
Gesangjor nodded in response and glanced at Mo Awu and the rest on the Wrangler SUV behind. He could instantly tell that Tang Xiu’s identity in the mainland was probably not simple, else it would be impossible for him to have so many bodyguards around him.
“Alright, let’s board the car! I’ll entertain you with good wine and meat as the host.”
The cars then continued driving for a few kilometers and then stopped at the parking space in front of several two-storied buildings. After getting off the car, they walked straight to the two-story building in the center and then entered the luxuriously decorated living room. Only Mo Awu followed Tang Xiu, whereas the other ten men stayed outside.
As the wine and meat were brought in, Jie Walie smiled and asked, “Brother Gesangjor, the guests who visit your place should be few in number this season, no? After all, we are just at the beginning of the year.”
“There have been a few visitors at this time of the year in the past, but speaking about that, this year is kind of strange.” Gesangjor smilingly replied. “A dozen guests arrived in these three days, thus nearly half of the rooms in my hunting ground manor are occupied. Speaking about it, the number of people with money from the mainland is getting more and more. They spend money like pouring water here, asking for the best service available and the most exciting hunting experience as well.”
“Eh?” Jie Walie was surprised and commented, “So, your business is very good now?”
“Alright, let’s not talk about that, shall we?” Gesangjor waved his hand and said with a smile, “Anyways, where do you come from, Brother Tang? And what business do you engage in?”
“Well, I’m from Shuangqing Province’s Star City, and I do some liquor, cosmetic, and healthcare business,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
Gesangjor nodded and did not ask anymore. Nowadays, there were all sorts of businesses, along with too many rich people to count. As the owner of this place, he only needed to warmly greet the guests who came here. Those two questions he asked Tang Xiu was because he was the friend of Jie Walie brought here.
“Alright, let’s drink and have some meat. After we are full, I’ll personally take you to the armory to pick some weapons for yourself. Many wild animals are in hibernation in this cold season, but many of them still come out to hunt for food. If you’re lucky, you may encounter some bears in the back of the mountain, though.”
Tang Xiu and Jie Walie had drunk a lot of wine previously, but they still welcome it by drinking a lot of wine and wolfing down the meat under Gesangjor’s great hospitality, showing their appreciation for his character, all of which met the Gesangjor’s praise.
“MAKE WAY! I WANT TO SEE GESANGJOR!”
A rude voice came from the outside, and the sound of a ruckus could be heard even as everyone enjoyed their drinks.
Gesangjor’s black brows furrowed and yelled at the door, “Hey, let the guest come inside! If they want to drink together with me, I still have enough here.”
Immediately, the door was pushed from the outside as two young men came in with their four bodyguards. One of them, whose hair was bleached white and wore a gold chain around his neck, did not look at Tang Xiu and Jie Walie as he straightly looked at Gesangjor and shouted, “Gesangjor, I want the crossbow and its bolts in your warehouse to be rented to me. I’ll pay ten times the price.”
The other young man, however, glanced around the room. His pupils suddenly contracted and his body slightly trembled when he saw Tang Xiu. He subconsciously touched his face and instantly grabbed the arm of the bleached white-haired youth.
