Stop Acting

“No way? If House Yu was already here then haven't all our efforts gone waste?” Xiao Ji got a little p.i.s.sed at the thought as he marched into the villa, yelling. “Chu Pengzhan? Get the h.e.l.l out!”

But the villa remained silent?

“s.h.i.+t, is anyone here? Chu Pengzhan you piece of s.h.i.+t, are you here?” Xiao Ji started panicking—if Pengzhan wasn't here, or if he'd gotten beaten to death, then where on earth was he supposed to get his money?

n.o.body answered.

Xiao Ji and Xiaoben hastily entered the villa—Chu Pengzhan, Chu Mengyao, Yushu, and Lin Yi, they were all there!

They were all standing in the villa living room, looking at Xiao Ji oddly!

“What the h.e.l.l are you people looking at? d.a.m.n it, I'm talking to you, why didn't you reply? Are you deaf or dumb?” Xiao Ji was feeling rather confused at the att.i.tude of these people, but he didn't think much. He was here for the businesses, for money! If he weren't a little more arrogant he might not get what he wanted!

“Mister Xiao, I wonder what business you have with us, yelling and marching into my daughter's house?” Pengzhan now spoke with confidence—now that Lin Yi had regained his strength, all his fear and hesitation was wiped away from his voice!

“What business we have with you? f.u.c.k, Chu Pengzhan, drop the act! Have you my terms considered them? Two hundred million, along with the owners.h.i.+p rights to the shopping center and hotel!” Xiao Ji was not a very civilized man. As he demonstrated his dominance in front of Pengzhan with curses, he felt a sense of pleasure—especially so when he looked at Pengzhan, who didn't dare speak back!

“Mister Xiao, you're a member of a n.o.ble house as well, where are your manners?” Pengzhan looked at Xiao Ji mockingly, a vengeful sense forming in his heart. He didn't need to be careful around this man any longer.

“f.u.c.k, I don't need you to teach me s.h.i.+t, old man! Have you lost your mind? If you don't want to die, then cut the bulls.h.i.+t!” Xiao Ji didn't want to waste time with words anymore. He reached his hand at Pengzhan.

“You want to give us two hundred million?” Lin Yi said dully as he looked at Xiao Ji.

“Two hundred million my a.s.s!” Xiao Ji glared at him. “Who the f.u.c.k are you?”

“I'm Lin Yi, don't you know me?” Lin Yi replied normally as if he didn't care.

“Lin Yi, huh? Haha, I know, that piece of trash who lost his abilities! You dare to come out to the party even now?” Xiao Ji's face blossomed with happiness upon hearing the name. He couldn't help but laugh!

Xiao Ben, on the other hand, felt something—something was off! He was of a different temperament compared to his brother, he was the most meticulous Xiao. One look at Pengzhan's face, completely devoid of the previous terror and rage, along with Lin Yi's sudden appearance…

No, something was wrong! Xiao Ben frowned as he quickly pulled Xiao Ji back, stopping him and asking Pengzhan a careful question. “Chu Pengzhan, did someone come before us?”

“Yes.” Pengzhan smiled in his heart—Xiao Ben wasn't an idiot, after all, although realizing this now was already too late! He understood Lin Yi's personality well. If the instant these Xiaos entered the door, if by then they begged for mercy and gave Lin Yi some benefits, then perhaps Lin Yi would let them go indeed.

But Xiao Ji came in yelling and cursing—it was too late for him.

“House Yu?” Xiao Ben's face went a little pale. From what he could see, House Yu had arrived and formed some sort of agreement that made Pengzhan completely fearless, to the point where even the crippled Lin Yi dared to come out!

“Yes.” Pengzhan nodded.

“What benefits did they give you?” Xiao Ben's face darkened. If House Yu had gotten involved, things were a lot more complicated!

“House Yu gave me the shares to the auction business as well as another piece of business, along with a complimentary double mistress from their house.” Lin Yi said dully with one look at Xiao Ben. “Now it's your turn—I heard you guys want two hundred million, and the shopping center and hotel of Pengzhan industries? That's good, I'll have four hundred million from you two, as well as four of your businesses. You can scram after that.”

“What?” Xiao Ben froze, not understanding what was going on! If he had said that House Yu had given some sort of agreement after taking Pengzhan's a.s.sets, terms that could give Pengzhan safety—then it was possible. After all, he heard that Mengyao was about to get taken home to be a mistress for House Yu, so it was possible that they would give some form of power to them, which would explain Pengzhan's calmness!

But this wasn't the case? Lin Yi's words were ridiculous! It sounded as if House Yu had gotten defeated here, and were forced to offer terms in return?

If they really had gotten on good terms with Chu Pengzhan, would Lin Yi be saying words like these about House Yu?

Yet the absurdity in Lin Yi's words gave him confidence! If Lin Yi had said something more reasonable then perhaps he'd worry, guessing that Pengzhan had received some sort of support from the Yus!

But Lin Yi cleared all that worry away! Just what sort of a family was House Yu? They were the top house among the n.o.ble houses! Why the h.e.l.l would they give Pengzhan shares to their businesses? And two Yu mistresses? Ridiculous!

Even if they were to marry off their high-value daughters, they'd be choosing a n.o.ble house, and they'd be the main wives! Not mistresses!

So he understood just why Pengzhan looked so composed—they were acting! They had discussed this beforehand, to collectively act as if they were calm and safe, using that as a card to play against them!

True, the look on Pengzhan's face did scare Xiao Ben, but their mistake lay in Lin Yi's ridiculous words, words that defied all sense! True, they were big words, big, big words!

“Ha, Lin Yi, drop the act. You're so tough, are you? Chu Pengzhan, you drop the act as well!” Xiao Ben laughed. “Let me tell you this, all those things you said, they're useless before me. If you don't give us two hundred million along with those two businesses, you'll end up like Wei Zhizun! Uncle Pi?”
