Chapter 1186 Enemies meet on a narrow road
Jiang Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, then looked around the office—it was indeed empty.
Only then did he realize why the others were so excited, and he couldn't help but wonder:
"We were just arguing with this fat guy about where to stay, and he's vanished in the blink of an eye? Could this guy be able to burrow underground?"
Just as I was wondering, I caught a glimpse of the office chair still swaying slightly out of the corner of my eye.
He quickly went over and bent down to take a look, only to see that Lao Liu was huddled under the table.
What are you doing squatting here?
Jiang Xiaochuan couldn't help but chuckle.
It's no wonder he asked. Although he hadn't known Lao Liu for long, he knew that this fat guy was a shameless scoundrel with a thicker face than a city wall. He never expected that there would be a time when he was afraid to see people.
The sixth brother looked up, his eyes almost rolling back, but he didn't dare to shout.
These words reached the ears of the two worshippers, who exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.
Despite their level of cultivation, they were completely unaware of the presence of other people in the room.
This person is either completely dead, or their control over their aura has reached an unparalleled level.
The two men unconsciously softened their arrogant expressions, and their eyes became more wary.
Little did they know that Lao Liu had spent years rummaging through ancient tombs and had many treasures hidden on him. He even had three jade pendants to conceal his presence. How could he be easily discovered?
Situ Hong didn't have their delicate sensibilities.
Seeing that there really was someone hiding there, he immediately strode towards the office chair, looking eager to see something new.
He walked around the back of the chair, and his gaze instantly met that of the sixth brother.
The moment their eyes met, time seemed to freeze.
"Yes! It's you!"
Situ Hong took off the sunglasses that covered half of his face, revealing two dark circles under his eyes that were swollen like a panda's.
Realizing his whereabouts had been exposed, Lao Liu simply stopped hiding.
He slowly stood up, his chubby face filled with the regret of "not checking the almanac before leaving home," but he insisted on putting on a nonchalant expression.
"So, you've been hiding here!"
"Situ Hong's voice was trembling with anger, 'No wonder I couldn't find you anywhere in the capital!'"
He subconsciously rolled up his sleeves, then, as if recalling some unpleasant memory, he put them down again.
Turning to the two guards, he roared, "Uncle Zhang! Uncle Li! Seize this fat bastard!"
"Who dares to move!"
Old Six snorted coldly, and three jet-black, shiny Thunder Beads were already between his thick fingers.
The bead had a faint metallic sheen on its surface and spun nimbly between his fingers, as if it might slip out of his hand at any moment.
Upon seeing this, Situ Hong retreated three steps as if he had seen a ghost, his face filled with fear.
The two retainers' expressions changed drastically, their lips twitching involuntarily, clearly aware of the terrifying power of this thing.
The atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense, but Jiang Xiaochuan was completely bewildered.
So these two groups knew each other all along?
After carefully examining the two unusually symmetrical dark circles under Situ Hong's eyes, and recalling Lao Liu's guilty look, he suddenly realized what was going on.
So this was the trouble that Lao Liu had been trying to avoid. This guy was really unlucky to run into such a coincidence.
Seeing the three deadly Thunderbolts poised to strike between Lao Liu's fingers, as if they were about to unleash a massive explosion, he was amazed.
Jiang Xiaochuan inwardly cried out in alarm and quickly rushed forward to smooth things over.
If this thing were to explode here, not only this office, but the entire building would probably be reduced to ashes. What kind of security company would we be able to operate then?
"Calm down, everyone!" Jiang Xiaochuan winked at Lao Liu, "Put the things away first, I'll handle it."
The sixth brother, far from being grateful, scoffed, "Do you think I'm stupid? Without this talisman, wouldn't those two old geezers tear me to pieces?"
The two retainers were so angry that their beards stood on end, but they dared not make a move.
They had fought with Lao Liu before and knew that although the fat man's martial arts skills were not top-notch, his ability to escape was first-rate, and he had a variety of hidden weapons on his body.
Normally, they might have dared to take the risk, but now that Situ Hong was right there, they were hesitant to act and could only watch helplessly.
Jiang Xiaochuan thought about it again and realized that Lao Liu's concerns were not unreasonable.
So he turned to Situ Hong, "Young Master Hong, this is my distinguished guest. How about I handle this?"
"This won't do!"
Contrary to his usual self, Situ Hong was so excited he almost jumped up. "Do you know what that fat bastard did to me? Today I'm going to cut off those two ounces of flesh from his crotch and feed them to the dogs!"
Although the sixth brother felt somewhat guilty, he refused to back down verbally, stubbornly retorting loudly:
"Kid, this is the price you pay for trying to steal my woman! You deserve it!"
"As expected... it's all for a woman."
Jiang Xiaochuan was in a real bind.
Come to think of it, it's hard to imagine what kind of people from these two extremes could come together if it weren't for this hobby.
"How dare you mention it!"
Situ Hong was even more furious, "Two days ago at 'Heaven on Earth,' I clearly booked the top courtesan! You fatso, how dare you sneak in in the middle of the night and ruin my good time!"
Old Six scoffed, "Don't you know anything about first come, first served? Ruyan and I drank three bottles of foreign liquor and were chatting away. You just barged in and started raising the price. Do you think you're so great just because you have a few stinking bucks?"
"Besides, Ruyan and I have always gotten along well, so naturally, the beauty should be mine!"
"You fart!"
Situ Hong trembled with rage, "That's clearly mine..."
After a heated exchange between the two, Jiang Xiaochuan finally understood.
Two days ago, these two were fighting over a top courtesan at Beijing's most upscale club, "Heaven on Earth".
After a fierce bidding war, the wealthy and powerful Situ Hong ultimately prevailed.
The sixth brother was furious and secretly sneaked into the room, not only interrupting Situ Hong's good time, but also putting a special strong laxative into his tea.
This resulted in Situ Hong making dozens of trips to the toilet throughout the night, without accomplishing anything of importance.
That wasn't the end of it. When Situ Hong emerged from the club weakly, he was ambushed by Lao Liu, who was hiding in the shadows. The two bruises under his eyes were proof of that.
"I've been lying in bed all day!"
Situ Hong became more and more agitated as he spoke, "Now the whole capital is saying that I, Situ Hong, have been playing around with women until I'm exhausted! How am I supposed to face people in this industry after this?"
The sixth brother shook his head smugly: "Serves you right! I, Fatty, just can't stand people like you!"
Jiang Xiaochuan listened to this absurd and bizarre farce and struggled to suppress his laughter.
Looking at Situ Hong's remarkably symmetrical dark circles, he couldn't help but picture him clutching the toilet, struggling painfully through the long night.
Suddenly I realized that this fat guy's methods of playing pranks are really...unique.
