Chapter 873 - Surprising Takeaway (2/2)
She then pointed at the place and asked, “But what has happened here? I mean, I can smell the scent of my Bloodkin’s blood here.”
“Is your big brother called Shanzeley?” asked Mo Awu.
“How did you know?” exclaimed Shanjenna in alarm.
“Your brother has just come to Paradise Manor with six other vampires and fought with the people from the Special Ability Bureau,” explained Mo Awu. “However, the battle was concluded after my Boss arrived here. Your brother, Shanzeley, is with the Boss now.”
“Where are they?” quickly asked Shanjenna with an excited face.
“In your place,” said Mo Awu.
Whoosh!
An afterimage flashed and she disappeared instantly.
Inside the European-styled building.
The siblings, Shanjenna and Shanzeley, had their reunion. Tang Xiu didn’t want to disturb them, so he left with Ouyang Lulu to visit her residence. Before Tang Xiu could catch his breath, however, his mobile rang. As he saw the screen light up, he noticed it was a call from Miao Wentang. Tang Xiu hesitated for a while before he picked it up.
“Where are you, Brother Tang? I need to see you now,” the Miao Wentang’s hurried voice was heard from the phone.
“You still have that matter plaguing your mind, Brother Miao? You better forget it, I think.” Tang Xiu let out a dry chuckle and said, “I do know two methods to solve it, but I dare not disclose the heavenly secret that easily, so please forgive me.”
“Brother Tang, could you please remember the time we spent facing life and death together?” Miao Wentang’s voice was almost pleading. “Please help my family!”
Tang Xiu rolled his eyes at his plea. Nothing will happen to the Miao Family in the future. He had spat out some nonsensical things to frighten Miao Wentang to lead him to punish his nephew. But it seemed that he truly had scared him deeply.
“Alright, come to Paradise Manor!”
“Got it!”
After hanging up, Tang Xiu let out a wry smile and went to Ouyang Lulu’s king-sized bed as he shook his head with a forced smile, “Lulu, tell me, is it wrong for us to scare off our friend?”
“It depends on the issue and the cause,” answered Ouyang Lulu with a smile, “Eh, honey. Who was it; whom have you scared, exactly?”
“Miao Wentang,” said Tang Xiu.
“Pfft… Hahaha.” Ouyang Lulu couldn’t help but laugh and grinningly said, “Aren’t you both good friends? How did you scare him? He sounds very scared listening from his tone on the phone.”
Tang Xiu explained the whole story roughly and finally said with a helpless expression, “You see, my main goal was to make him clean up his nephew, but who would have thought that he took every nonsensical shit I made up in my call seriously and he now wants me to help his Miao Family? I kinda shut him out my door this morning which was quite difficult already, but he said he’s gonna see me tonight.”
Ouyang Lulu was so amused by Tang Xiu’s story that she had a good laugh for a long time. Then, she said, “Honey, you’re really awesome! Even you fooled such a bigwig like Miao Wentang. Anyways, it’s easy to solve, though. Just make up some drivels or do something to fool Miao Wentang again if he comes and asks for your help. Just con him to the end.”
“I did have that idea,” Tang Xiu nodded.
Half an hour later, Miao Wentang had come to the Paradise Club with two men. When he saw Tang Xiu in the spacious box of the dining area, he promptly brought out two beautifully wrapped gift boxes he personally delivered and said with a listless face, “Brother Tang, these two objects are the treasures of my family that my ancestors obtained with great difficulty. These two objects will be yours as long as you can help my family through this difficult time.”
Cough, cough…
Tang Xiu coughed a few times to conceal the embarrassment he had inside. He then said to him, “Please don’t. These are your family heirlooms; how can I take them? Brother Miao, I…”
“You’re looking down on this brother of yours if you refuse, Brother Tang.” Miao Wentang interrupted Tang Xiu and said with all seriousness, “Count it as me asking you a favor; could you accept it?”
“I…”
Tang Xiu opened his mouth but swallowed back the words that he nearly spoke.
Seemingly afraid that Tang Xiu wouldn’t like the objects he brought him, Miao Wentang swiftly unwrapped and took out what was stored inside the gift boxes. He then took out the two red-colored jade objects, the jade dragon and the jade tiger, from the inside.
“These are…”
