15 Inside the Thousand Gold Hall (2/2)

However, these serious repercussions would cease to exist as soon as the promissory note landed in Tang Yuan’s hands. Then, they would start spreading rumours about the note in order to strike at the Tang family. Jun Xie could clearly foresee the entire situation.

”What kind of an item can make Young Master Tang so uptight? Let me see it with my own eyes. This is going to be an eye-opening experience for me.” Dugu Xiao Yi seemed extremely curious about the whole matter. She stretched-out her small hand as she saw Tang Yuan’s relieved expression after he had received the note.

Tang Yuan’s face became pale. He shoved the piece of paper in his mouth. He chewed it a couple of times and swallowed it. He then smacked his lips with an innocent expression on his face. He had done this with a lightning speed. His fat neck had been stretched out like a giraffe’s as he had swallowed the paper.

”Bloody… Fatty… how dare you mess with me? You certainly have some guts…” Dugu Xiao Yi rushed towards Tang Yuan in an angry manner. She grabbed his collar and lifted-up his two-hundred-and-fifty kilograms of body in the air. She then shouted, ”Spit it out!”

Jun Xie and the other youths’ eyebrows twitched as they saw this scene with slanted eyes. Their lips became blue and crooked, and their faces turned white.

”Miss Dugu, it’s nothing… really. It all started from Third Young Master Jun. We were missing him a lot ever since he had been grounded by his grandfather. We wrote ‘coming or not’ on a piece of paper. We had a bet that I’ll have to eat the paper if Third Young Master Jun didn’t come… and Young Master Tang was supposed to eat the paper if he came. That’s the only matter. Master Tang is a real man… a man true to his word… hahaha…” Meng Haizou laughed as he explained. He had made up a story on the spot; he truly had some talent. This matter would’ve blown out of proportion if Tang Yuan had been made to spit out the paper… and if it had fallen into the hands of Dugu Xiao Yi.

Jun Xie raised an eyebrow. He looked at Meng Haizou and thought, [This man came up with such a believable excuse in such a short period of time. Moreover, he spoke with a straight face and a steady heart. He’s an exceptional talent. He has guts, rational thinking, and the ability to act on his thoughts.] Jun Xie – for a short moment – had wanted Tang Yuan to spit out the paper. He wanted to see this entire matter turning into a huge storm. But, Tang Yuan was Jun Mo Xie’s best friend… even though he was a useless person. Moreover, Jun Xie was confident that he could easily win among this group of debauchees. So, he had finally given up on the idea. [But… But, I wanted to… I really wanted to… sigh!]

Dugu Xiao Yi looked at the youngsters with a sceptical look in her eyes as all of them started to nod like ‘chickens pecking on rice’. ”That’s true. That’s what had happened,” everyone said in unison. She then released Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan’s face had become purple as he had been suspended in the air by his neck. He issued a series of retching sounds as Dugu Xiao Yi loosened her grip on his collar. He had refrained himself from breathing since he was fearful that he might end-up coughing out the paper.

”Dear guests, please come inside,” Li Feng – the owner of the place said.

Jun Xie smiled and marched inside the place with an arrogant and domineering look on his face. He sat down on a chair and propped-up his legs on the table. He looked like a typical rogue with a degenerated attitude.

Dugu Xiao Yi frowned. She felt like kicking Jun Mo Xie.

”Haven’t you guys been missing me? I was also missing you… your money. So… how do you want to play?” Jun Xie gave a wicked smile and said.
