"Fine, fine, I'll get lost!"
Song Wenxuan trembled all over, got up laboriously from the ground, and disappeared without a trace.
After he got away, his legs went weak as he sat in the car, his heart pounding at 180 bpm. He felt lucky to be alive, thinking that kid was truly terrifying.
He had lived in the provincial capital for so long, yet he had never encountered anyone as strong as that young man.
However!
Even if he was strong enough, the provincial capital was teeming with experts. It wouldn't be difficult to find someone capable of killing that kid.
He vowed to make the kid repay him a hundredfold for the suffering he endured today!
With that thought, Song Wenxuan clenched his fists, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes!
He then regained his composure, stepped on the accelerator, and quickly vanished.
"Wow, brother-in-law, you're so cool! I can't believe you defeated that evil蛊师 so easily."
Tang Xiaoyao, seeing Song Wenxuan flee in disarray, excitedly got out of the car and ran towards the villa, giving Li Yang a thumbs-up.
"This is nothing. It's just that this guy has an evil nature and is good at disguise. Otherwise, you wouldn't have fallen for his trick."
Li Yang explained seriously, then added, "Let's go eat first. After we finish, you can search your place thoroughly and see if there's anything else he gave you."
"He specializes in evil蛊. Anything he gives you carries the risk of him finding an opportunity to cast a蛊 formation again."
"Okay, I understand. I'll listen to you completely, brother-in-law."
Tang Xiaoyao nodded readily, believing everything Li Yang said. She now considered Li Yang her idol.
"By the way, brother-in-law, I was rude to you today because I didn't believe you. It was all my fault. I hope you don't mind."
As the three of them headed to a hotel for dinner, Tang Xiaoyao said with a guilty expression, looking down.
"It's rare for you to apologize to me. For Xin Yu's sake, I won't blame you. But during dinner later, don't be stingy. I want to eat the most expensive meal in the hotel," Li Yang said jokingly.
"No problem. You don't even need to mention it, brother-in-law. I'll order the most expensive dishes to treat you."
Tang Xiaoyao nodded decisively.
Before long, the three of them arrived at the most luxurious hotel in the provincial capital, the Heavenly Palace Hotel, which was also the city's largest five-star establishment.
Tang Xiaoyao led them into a private room. After taking the menu, she indeed wasn't stingy, ordering all the hotel's signature dishes first, followed by the abalone and lobster Li Yang wanted.
After she finished ordering, she proactively handed the menu to Li Yang, saying, "Brother-in-law, is there anything else you want to add?"
"Nothing else. Just serve it as is. I can't wait to eat. I'm starving after that fight," Li Yang said, patting his stomach.
Tang Xiaoyao handed the menu to the waitress, asked her to serve the ordered dishes, and urged her to be quick.
Just as they finished ordering, the waitress left the room with the menu. Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and the waitress who had just left was sent flying in.
Following her, several burly men entered from outside the private room. The leader was a man in a garish suit with ferocious eyes and a menacing look.
He had a cigar in his mouth, his hair dyed green, and he blew a smoke ring, cursing, "Blind idiot, daring to block my way. Truly deserves to die."
After speaking, he glanced at the three people sitting and eating in the private room and said dismissively, "And you three, seeing me arrive, why aren't you getting out of here quickly?"
"This private room has been reserved. If you don't want to get beaten, scram!"
"Hey, who are you? I just sat down, and you dare to chase us away?"
Tang Xiaoyao, full of indignation, slammed the table and stood up, pointing angrily at the man in the suit.
"Oh, you little brat, you have quite the nerve to talk back to me. Do you know who I am?"
The man in the suit leered at Tang Xiaoyao, licked his lips, and said, "I rarely see such a delicate young lady like you in the provincial capital. Why don't you come over and squat down, let me have some fun, and I'll spare you."
"You disgusting man, dreaming in broad daylight!" Tang Xiaoyao said indignantly.
"Not willing? I gave you a chance. If you refuse to obey my orders, then I'll have to be impolite."
As the man in the suit spoke, his expression suddenly turned cold. He waved his hand and ordered, "Go, grab this little girl for me. Escort the other two out of the room. Don't delay the master's meal here later."
"Yes, boss."
The men behind the man in the suit immediately moved, approaching to grab Tang Xiaoyao.
At this moment, Tang Xiaoyao was terrified and quickly threatened, "What are you doing? I'm telling you, I'm from the Tang family. If you disrespect me, my mother will make you pay."
"The Tang family? Heh, I thought it was some big shot. Just a mere Tang family, and you dare to be so arrogant?"
The man in the suit couldn't help but laugh contemptuously and said, "The one coming to eat later is the famous Gambling Saint of the provincial capital. Can your Tang family afford to offend him?"
"What? Gambling Saint?"
Tang Xiaoyao's heart sank. Her gaze then turned fearful. After a two-second hesitation, she chuckled and said, "So you're from Mr. Gambling Saint's entourage. I was blind. Just consider what I said earlier as nonsense. I'll leave now."
Then, she gave Tang Xinyu a look, signaling her to leave quickly with her.
Similarly, Li Yang saw her look, but he had no intention of leaving. Instead, he said coldly, "We don't need to leave. When the Gambling Saint arrives, he'll have to be polite to me."
"Brother-in-law, don't brag. Mr. Gambling Saint is a top figure in the provincial capital's antique appraisal circle. Do you know what Gambling Saint means? His specialty is stone gambling, and he wins every bet."
"If he really comes later, we might not be able to leave," Tang Xiaoyao said nervously, coming over to explain.
"It's fine!"
Li Yang remained relaxed. He then looked at the man in the suit and said, "I'll give the Gambling Saint ten minutes. Tell him to come here and apologize to me immediately!"
"If he doesn't arrive within ten minutes, then there will be no place for him in the provincial capital's antique circle anymore."
"What did you say?"
The man in the suit gnashed his teeth in anger, a hint of immense killing intent flashing in his eyes. He fiercely punched the door and said menacingly, "You country bumpkin dare to disrespect Mr. Gambling Saint? You truly have the guts of a bear."
"Today, I'll personally beat you into a cripple. Later, when Mr. Gambling Saint arrives, I'll present you to him to be dealt with as he sees fit."
After speaking, he waved to his subordinates, and they all charged towards Li Yang.
