Chapter 186: Strange Phone Call (1/2)

“Oh, I participated in the competition for a promise I made to one of my friends. But now, I have a reason not to participate, why would I continue?” I smiled and said, “I don’t care about these trivial things like rankings!”

“Ah! It’s such a shame then.” The Gao Yajun shook his head and said, “How about you go back and reconsider it. It’s a rare opportunity!”

“Okay, I will think about it!” I nodded and said. Although I had decided not to participate, I still had to show basic courtesy.

“When you have thought about it, you can contact me at any time. The hotel connection code of my room is 1010,” Gao Yajun said.

………

“Old Liu, I thought you weren’t going to return. Weren’t you going to get a room with Wang Shu!” Ding Wenfeng said to me sourly.

“Knock it off! The two of us are just ordinary friends. Get a room? Did you think I was as frustrated as you?” I closed the door and said to Ding Wenfeng contemptuously.

“Who’s going to believe that lousy excuse! By the way, I am still hungry. As it’s past the hotel meal time, they said they weren’t responsible for my meal anymore!” Ding Wenfeng said.

The hotel we stayed at wasn’t a luxury hotel, to begin with. I wondered what criteria Japan employed to rate hotels for their two or three-star standard.

I estimated that contacting a good hotel would have been too much for the organizers of the Tournament.

“Oh, right! I still have some barbecues that I have not finished eating. Wanna eat them?” I handed a plastic bag to Ding Wenfeng. The brat immediately snatched the bag as if he was a starving ghost.

I was just going to make fun of Ding Wenfeng when I heard my phone ring.

The number on the phone belonged to Wang Shu. I thought that the girl might have reached home, so she wanted to inform me. I picked up the call and said, “Hey, Wang Shu, have you arrived home?”

There was no response from the other side.

“Hello? Wang Shu?” I asked in confusion, “Wang Shu, why aren’t you replying?”

There was still no response from the opposite side.

I said a few more words but still got no response. I thought that Wang Shu might have touched the redial button when driving, so I didn’t care too much about it. Just when I was going to hang up, I heard a voice coming from the receiver. It was a faint voice, of a male, who said in Japanese,

“100 million Yen! My dear niece, as long as you sign the transfer papers, this 100 million Yen check will belong to you!”

“Humph!” Wang Shu snorted coldly. Although the sound wasn’t clear, my keen hearing still caught it! Did Wang Shu get in some trouble? Wait! That man who just called Wang Shu his niece, could he be Sawai Toji?
