"You are just a dumbass, but you tried to deceive the Yunzhou mayor. How dare you? If not because of all the things you did for me these years, I couldn't be bothered with you this time. I would just leave you to your own devices in there," said the man in the sleeping robe coldly in the bungalow. He was clearly somewhat annoyed.
Zhou Sheng replied bitterly instead, "Young Master Ting, my company funds were cut off, so I had no choice but to take the risk. Also, if that brat didn't cause trouble, then this plan would have succeeded! It was all because of that brat. He made me suffer such huge losses and that's how I ended up like this.”
When he said those words, Zhou Sheng clenched his fists tightly. His words were filled with deep resentment and murder.
"Say no more. A defeat is a defeat. No matter how many excuses you make, it can't change the fact that you lost." The man in the sleeping robe seemed disinterested in this conversation, so he interrupted Zhou Sheng impatiently. Then he sipped the tea and replied, "You probably didn't come tonight to complain to me, right? Tell me, why did you come looking for me at this hour of the night?"
"Since Young Master Ting asked, then I'll be honest. I came looking for Young Master Ting tonight because I genuinely need your help," replied Zhou Sheng respectfully. Then he told this youth about why he was here.
"Oh?" The man in the sleeping robe instantly furrowed his brows.
"Do you want me to stoop to your level and help you deal with the brat? A country bumpkin? How can you have the cheek to ask me such a thing?"
The man in the sleeping robe laughed with sarcasm and displeasure. His cold laughter terrified Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng replied hurriedly, "Young Master Ting, I know you're usually very busy, and I shouldn't bother you with small things like this. But I don't have a choice. Although that brat is only a country bumpkin, he's a martial artist. I sent a few dozen men after him, but none of them could outdo him. Now I have no choice but to ask Young Master Ting for help shamelessly."
"Young Master Ting has many powerful bodyguards and each of them can fight ten men. If Young Master Ting could help, then that scoundrel is dead meat for sure.
I hope Young Master Ting can help me this one time on account of our years of relationship! If I don't succeed in seeking revenge, I, Zhou Sheng, will die with everlasting regret!" implored Zhou Sheng.
But the man in the sleeping robe didn't pay him any attention. He finished his tea in one gulp and just started heading upstairs.
He waved his hands at Zhou Sheng without turning around and said impatiently, "If you want me to go out of my way just to handle a country bumpkin, you can dream on. Such things might dirty my hands. As for you, if so many of your men couldn't contain an ignorant woodlouse, it only goes to show that your men are all useless too. As the saying goes, the leaders make the men. So it's no surprise for leaders like you to have a bunch of good-for-nothings as your men. Zhou Sheng, do you think I will take the trouble to help a few good-for-nothings alleviate the pain in their hearts? So leave. It's about time I went to bed."
The man seemed to have run out of patience for this nonsense with Zhou Sheng, so he went upstairs.
On the landing of the second story, a beauty was already waiting for him in a long delicate chiffon dress and her feet were bare.
Young Master Ting, are you done with your chat? I'm dying to see you.”
A charming voice could be heard and the man in the sleeping robe walked over and pulled the beauty into his embrace. He gently pecked her on the cheek and said, "Xue-Er, I'm just done."
Just as the young man in the sleeping robe was about to enter the room with the beauty, Zhou Sheng gritted his teeth downstairs. Then he said deeply, "Young Master Ting. Are you that heartless and indifferent? Aren't you going to help me after I begged you like this? Let's not forget who risked his life to save that woman you have in your arms. Even if that slips your mind, Young Master Ting, aren't you afraid that I will tell your father about the mistress you keep in your suburban Jingzhou bungalow? You should know what will happen if he finds out you didn't change your ways and continued sleeping with that hooker.”
BOOOM!
