Yao Xinhua hung up the phone and waved to a nearby middle-aged man. After the middle-aged man came to his side, he whispered, "Move the first and second teams here and hide in the vicinity of the Sheraton Hotel. Also, tell the gunmen to go to the opposite building and wait for my order. "
"Understood!"
The middle-aged man replied and left with a cautious expression.
A cold light flashed in Yao Xinhua's eyes as he took out a cigarette from his pocket. But after recalling the current situation, he stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket. However, his eyes passed through the gaps in the crowd and looked at Tan Xiu, who was sitting in a remote corner.
At this moment …
Tan Xiu crossed his legs and quietly sat on the sofa in the corner of the banquet hall. His eyes wandered back and forth between the smiling guests. He was very disgusted with this kind of banquet. After all, it was too impure and boring to hold it under the banner of charity with ulterior motives.
However, he also understood these people. After all, they were all mortals, and it was common knowledge among cultivators that mortals did their own things. If they wanted to make a living in society, they had to deal with thousands of connections. They had to seize every opportunity to make friends with people who could bring them benefits. Only then would they be able to open up a better career and have more wealth in the future.
"What? You don't like it? "
A smile outlined on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth as he looked at Gu Xiaoxue, who was sitting in front of him.
"I really don't like it." Gu Xiaoxue gently nodded and frowned.
"You're the one who wanted to come with me. Don't force yourself if you really don't like it." Tan Xiu smiled. "Let's go back! Also, tell someone to prepare the boat. We'll set sail after the charity party is over. "
Gu Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment before she silently got up and said, "Then I'll wait for you on the boat."
Yang Le, who was sitting next to Tan Xiu, looked at Gu Xiaoxue's back as she left. His tense expression finally relaxed a lot. The scene of him being hung in the corridor had filled him with fear toward Gu Xiaoxue, so he felt uncomfortable even if Gu Xiaoxue was next to him.
Huff …
Yang Le secretly breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile. "Brother Tan Xiu, I'm really curious. How come you have such a grand-disciple?"
Tan Xiu smiled faintly and said, "Isn't it good? Xiaoxue is a well-behaved child. Not bad! "
Obedient?
Yang Le almost spat out a mouthful of blood, secretly cursing in his heart: She is good to you, respectful and respectful, like she is treating her own ancestor, but to me …
"I know what you're thinking. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke her, she won't mess with you," said Tan Xiu with a smile. I know you like women, but don't provoke women you don't know, or you'll get into big trouble in the future. "
Yang Le deeply agreed and said, "You're right, every word is true. In the future, I must be vigilant when dealing with women. Haven't you heard of the saying, 'A woman's heart is the most poisonous of all.' "
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't be so extreme. Forget it, let's not talk about these boring things. I'll give you one night to do what you need to do. I hope that Ouyang Lei will be restless before we return from Clam Island. "
Yang Le crooked his finger and smilingly said, "Brother Tan Xiu, as the saying goes, even blood brothers should settle accounts clearly. How are you going to thank me if I help you tonight? "
"I originally intended to give you a small opportunity," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "If I'm satisfied with what you do, I'll give you a big one. Ten times. As long as you do well, your strength will increase by at least ten times in the future. "
"Deal!"
Yang Le excitedly got up and spoke again, "A gentleman keeps his word. Then I'm going to investigate Ouyang Lei's background now. Just wait for my good news!"
"Go!" Tan Xiu said with a smile. "Stay in the Everlasting Feast Hall before I come back from the sea! Also, help me investigate the Yao Family here while you're at it. "
"All right!"
Yang Le replied and quickly left the banquet hall.
The charity gala began at six o 'clock. As the host, Ouyang Lei gave a speech with great emotion. Then, he invited his father, Ouyang Wenzhen, to the stage and gave a speech. It was Tan Xiu's first time seeing Ouyang Wenzhen. He was a very dignified and imposing man with every gesture and gesture exuding the demeanor of a big shot.
Tan Xiu recalled Ouyang Lulu's request to let him follow her to the Ouyang Family as a guest. Although he had promised it, he had never fulfilled it. In fact, it was not that he wanted to break his promise, but he didn't want to complicate his relationship with Ouyang Lulu.
The charity gala progressed quickly, and the items auctioned in the following charity auction were not expensive. None of them caught Tan Xiu's eyes. Therefore, he didn't spend money to buy anything and just regarded himself as a bystander. He quietly stayed in the most inconspicuous corner and observed Yao Xinhua's actions from time to time.
After the charity auction ended, some people bought things they liked, while some spent money to show goodwill to the Ouyang Family. In short, the charity auction was a success.
"You're Tan Xiu, right?"
At the beginning of the banquet, Yao Xinhua finally appeared in front of Tan Xiu with a glass of red wine in his hand.
Tan Xiu was still sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He looked up and casually glanced at Yao Xinhua. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said, "It turns out to be a loser! I really didn't expect that you would dare to appear in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I'll personally cut off your head and make it into a chamber pot for me? "
Yao Xinhua sneered. He turned around and sat on the sofa opposite Tan Xiu. He gently sipped the red wine and then lightly said, "There's an old saying that victory and defeat are common in a war. Who can laugh at the end is really an unpredictable chess game. I'm looking forward to what kind of performance you'll have in the future! "
"I'll have a lot of good performances, but I'm afraid only a few of them will qualify you to participate in." Tan Xiu said with a smile. You may not like to hear it, but perhaps only your family's patriarch can make me look at the entire Yao Family. As for the others … Hehe! "
Yao Xinhua gave a thumbs up. He didn't get angry out of shame because of the contempt in Tan Xiu's words. On the contrary, a bright smile appeared on his handsome face. "I know! I've been looking forward to the Tang Family ever since I came back from abroad. I'm looking forward to them giving me some pressure and motivation. But your Tang Family's people are too weak, so weak that I don't even have the mood to play. Fortunately, you appeared. I'm glad that the Tang Family was able to find you. Otherwise, even if the Tang Family were to be destroyed in the future, I would still feel bored. "
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "That's great! You're full of arrogance, and your blood is full of self-confidence. It's a pity that I've made such an outstanding opponent fear me so early on. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have used such a rough method to deal with you in Fukang. Maybe I could have played better and obtained more gains if I was gentle. "
"Tan Xiu, a man who can't let go of the past is not a real man." Yao Xinhua sneered. "How about we make a bet if you want?"
"Say it!" Tan Xiu shrugged his shoulders. "How do you want to play?"
Yao Xinhua said, "Let's bet. Who will leave the hotel standing tonight? Who will leave the hotel lying down? Do you dare to bet with me? "
"What's the bet?" Tan Xiu said with a smile.
"I'll give you the choice." Yao Xinhua spread his hands.
"Alright!" Tan Xiu said with a light smile. "I'll be a bit vulgar today. The bet is money! I've been very poor recently, so poor that I can't even eat in the school cafeteria. How about 1 billion RMB? "
"That's a small bet!" Yao Xinhua sneered. "If you say 1 billion, then 1 billion! I don't like to always make myself look rich and overbearing. "
The two men talked, their words full of the smell of gunpowder. Now, they were carrying out psychological tactics, wanting to use words to strike the other's psyche. Unfortunately, Ling Ren was a person with a tenacious mind, so verbal attacks would not have much of an effect on them.
"Give me your cell number."
Tan Xiu took out his mobile phone and crooked his finger.
"Do you need to ask me personally if you want to know my cell number?" Yao Xinhua said with a faint smile. "Wouldn't the Tang Family's people be eager to put my number in front of you?"
"I don't like troublesome things," Tan Xiu said.
"You're the same as me. I'm also a person who hates troublesome things." Yao Xinhua nodded.
Having said that, he gave his cell number to Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu quickly wrote a short message and sent his name and a bank account number to Yao Xinhua. Then, he stood up and smilingly said, "I've sent my bank account number to your mobile phone. Remember to transfer the money to my account early tomorrow."
"You're that confident?"
Yao Xinhua sneered.
Tan Xiu maintained his smile as he nodded and said, "I'm very confident. You'll know it later."
The next moment …
Tan Xiu's figure instantly appeared in front of Yao Xinhua. His speed was so fast that even though Yao Xinhua was not an ordinary person, he still couldn't detect Tan Xiu's movement. His body quickly turned numb, followed by blackness before he lost consciousness. Tan Xiu's figure flickered and silently disappeared from the banquet hall without anyone noticing.
His purpose of coming here today had been achieved, so he didn't bother to stay here and waste time. He didn't kill Yao Xinhua because he was still thinking about the 1 billion gambling money. He was more concerned about eradicating some of the Yao Family's forces by abusing Yao Xinhua later.
"Huh?"
The moment he stepped out of the hotel's entrance, a cold light burst out from Tan Xiu's eyes. He could keenly sense that there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at him from all around. A faint sense of crisis even appeared in his heart, causing him to instantly release his spiritual sense.
"15 people, all armed with firearms. However, it's not them who gave me a sense of threat, but someone else. It should be … someone hiding in the dark. Only someone hiding in the dark can give me such a feeling. "
