Chapter 13: Who's Scheming Against Me?

  "A thousand truths! Third Master," Tang Yuan grasped his hand, and Jun Xie suddenly felt his hand wrapped in a layer of greasy fat: "They really said that! They said as long as Third Master you show up, they'll immediately return the IOU to me, and everything will be settled."

  "Huh? They really said that?" Jun Xie furrowed his brow, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes. He had already sensed something was off! How did things seem to change flavor as he listened? Originally, it was this fatty who lost his wife, but somehow everything was slowly shifting onto himself? It seemed there was some sort of mystery here, and the target was himself?

  This is absolutely a scam!

  Let's not mention anything else, just with the original Jun Mo Xie's super arrogant and reckless personality, as soon as he heard that his brother had been bullied like this, he would immediately be furious. Then, when he heard that the other party was giving him face like this, he would suddenly become dizzy and unaware of what to do. He would definitely go there without hesitation, with an air of superiority, and fall right into the trap set by the other party! If the opponent has the ability to play dumb like this, it seems that dealing with the previous Jun Wu Xie wouldn't be difficult either!

  If this is a trap for Jun Moxie, then the person who set up this trap has an extremely good understanding of Jun Moxie's character!

  No, I think the target of their scheme is not you, but rather your father. Nobody would bother to plot against a harmless young master like you. The real target should be your father! And behind them, there might be someone else who is manipulating them, after all, your family and your father are not people that anyone can easily provoke!

  Jun Xie gazed at the fatty in front of him, secretly pondering what role this fatty was playing in this situation. Was he a friend or foe?! Looking at Tang Yuan's current appearance, which was almost like he had just wet his pants, Jun Xie made up his mind: If this fatty wasn't pretending, then he was truly a super idiot! But if this fatty was pretending, then he must be an actor with super skills, and also a very hidden and dangerous person!

  Go or not go?

  Jun Xie made the decision in an instant. Such a fun thing, how can he not go? Relying on his own gambling skills, could he still lose? Besides, if he didn't go, how would he know who wanted to deal with him? Jun Xie had never had the habit of letting his enemies hide in the dark! Catch them out and kill them! This was his consistent style.

  With a subtle circulation of the divine art within his body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Jun Xie's mouth. Even if it was a gamble, he wouldn't lose. This inner power made cheating ridiculously easy...

  "How many silver tickets do we have left?" Having made up his mind, Junyi turned around and asked Ke'er.

  When you asked the question, you used the word "we", but suddenly a flush of shyness rose in her heart, and she felt an inexplicable sweetness, her face red as she said: "Since last time the master deducted from young master's expenses, currently there are still 120,000 taels of silver tickets, 30,000 taels of gold tickets, 300 taels of gold leaves, 100 ingots of white silver, and some loose change..."

  "That's enough, that's enough. Can't use so many." Seeing Ke'er still wanting to count carefully, Jun Ye hastily stopped her, or else this stubborn girl might still count out how many more copper coins there were...

  "Take out 50,000 taels of silver notes and prepare another 10-20 taels of loose change." said Jun Xie.

  "How can this be enough?" Tang Yuan almost jumped up, his face full of pleading: "Brother, Third Young Master, these aren't even enough for the change, are you trying to drive me to death? Brother is begging you!"

  "Fatty, didn't you just say that if I show up with the IOU, everything will be settled? We're going to gamble, not give away money! Tang Da Shao, why bring so many people, it's such a hassle! Don't you trust my unbeatable gambling skills?" Jun Ye said with a straight face.

  "What's with your unbeatable gambling skills?" A pair of small eyes stared out in surprise, a highly difficult movement for Tang Yuan's chubby face. Tang Yuan's mouth twitched, and if he wasn't truly anxious and annoyed, he would have burst out laughing. He thought to himself: Your so-called unbeatable gambling skills seem like they've never won you anything... If we're talking about losing money, then yeah, you're pretty much the best in the world.

  Never mind, as long as you go, it's all right, as long as I get that IOU back, nothing else matters! Damn it, how could I have been so muddle-headed to mortgage my wife at the time? This thing is really strange, even if I had brought a little less money, at least I wouldn't have lost too much!

  You secretly handed over the silver ticket, instructing to prepare two horses. Tang Yuan was already impatient and his round body rolled out of the door with a whoosh. His small eyes darted around, looking very fearful: "Hurry up, Third Young Master! If we're not lucky and run into your old man when he comes back, we'll be done for. You have no idea how much pressure I'm under every time I come to your house to find you, sigh..."

  He smiled slyly, jumped onto his horse's back, and said with a slanted gaze: "I see you're not as scared as I thought you'd be today."

  Tang Yuan sprang onto the horse's back with a loud whoosh, causing the sturdy horse to let out a long whinny and its four hooves to soften, almost falling over. With great effort, it managed to straighten up again. Perhaps the horse was also wondering: I've carried many people before, even generals wearing helmets and armor holding weapons, and I could still run freely. How come this human is so heavy today? For a moment, it lost its footing and nearly fell!

  The lord couldn't help but burst out laughing, his legs clamping together as he urged his horse forward. Behind him, eight guardsmen with robust physiques and powerful waists followed closely, each carrying swords at their sides.

  Tang Yuan's horse also had a difficult start, snorting all the way, and followed up.

  As soon as they went out, it was the East Wind Avenue, which is considered one of the most luxurious streets in Tianxiang City. The street was bustling with people coming and going, flowing endlessly. Tang Yuan didn't care about his horse's endurance and rushed forward, taking the lead by a wide margin. He kept looking back, his face anxious, clearly impatient with Jun Xie's slow pace.

  Before he knew it, they had already exited the East Wind Avenue and not far south was a wine tower, the Thousand Miles Fragrant Tower; it was indeed the Li family's property. Behind the wine tower was an idle large courtyard, which was the "Thousand Gold Hall" mentioned by Tang Yuan. The terrain here was hidden, making it a perfect place for young masters of noble families to squander their wealth! Anything that could be thought of could be gambled on inside.

  You were about to urge the horse forward when several people suddenly turned around from the side of the road. The first two people were two girls, one walking in front with a huff, seemingly very angry and shouting: "Don't follow me anymore! You're annoying!" The other girl was running after her, constantly trying to persuade her. Behind the two girls, eight expressionless guards followed closely, also appearing to be from some wealthy family's young lady.

  At a glance, he saw that the girl was pouting, with a spoiled expression on her face, but she looked very pretty. The girl was already in a bad mood, and when she saw Junye staring at her without blinking, she couldn't help but spit out saliva and scolded: "What are you looking at? You rascal!" This woman was feeling extremely annoyed at the moment, and then she saw Junye, this infamous playboy, who was staring at her, and she couldn't help but think of "taking it out on him".
