Chapter 266 Complicated
Xiao Bing didn’t want to have anything to do with these two because he only regarded them as kids. Xiao Bing went to the casino because he wanted to have some fun before the war. No matter how strong one’s mentality is, one needed to find ways to de-stress.
That was the same reason that Xiao Bing lived a loose life in Jingdu under the name of Dragon Master.
But it was not a good thing if it caught unnecessary attention.
But this was not like when he was in Jindu. During that period, he was afraid of being exposed if he showed up too many times. So every time he revealed himself as the Dragon Master, he would wear a mask. It was still kept in Xiao Bing’s closet in Xiao’s mansion. The original plaque had already been changed.
Xiao Bing didn’t want to have anything to do with these kids, especially when they were from a rich family. He decided to take another elevator, but was spotted by Luo Xiaomi, who immediately walked over to him. Xiao Bing rubbed his nose and managed a wry smile, “Why are you following me? Because I’m too handsome?”
Luo Xiaomi smiled, “You’re so shameless. I suppose all narcissistic men are lechers. Don’t worry, I have zero interest in you. You are nothing more than a middle-aged man to me.”
“Actually I’m young enough to be your brother.”
Luo Hao glared at him and warned, “Don’t mess with my sister.”
Luo Xiaomi looked at Xiao Bing and said, “Will you come tomorrow?”
“No, I might leave tomorrow morning.”
“I won’t allow it!” Luo Xiaomi said hotly, “It’s not possible for you to leave without playing a round with me.”
Xiao Bing looked at Luo Xiaomi grudgingly, “Are you addicted to gambling? Are all other rich kids like you?”
“Humph, I don’t normally gamble. I just don’t want to lose money to you. Just tell me if you have the balls for it.”
Xiao Bing shook his head, “No, I don’t.”
“What a coward you are!” Luo Xiaomi blazed.
Xiao Bing looked at Luo Xiaomi up and down, sizing her up until the girl was afire with anger. “Seriously, you don’t have anything worth making me feel shameless.”
In truth, Luo Xiaomi was no doubt going to be a beauty who would attract countless men. She was also well-shaped. Though there was still room for improvement, she was not as bad as Xiao Bing said. Xiao Bing didn’t like rich teens like them, so he could not help being sarcastic for a moment.
Luo Xiaomi pouted and glared at Xiao Bing, “I don’t care. You can’t leave if you don’t gamble with me. Today you won because I was inattentive. Tomorrow you won’t be this lucky.”
Xiao Bing shrugged, seemingly not bothered at all.
Luo Xiaomi glanced at Luo Hao and said, “Let’s go.”
Luo Xiaomi and her lot went to another elevator, which was exactly what Xiao Bing wanted. After Xiao Bing went into his room, he took a hot shower, went to the bed and turned on the TV.
Later Xiao Bing called the Poisonous Fox, Wu Ya, and the three Heavenly Kings. As the final war neared, Xiao Bing gradually got all his forces deployed. Now, all he needed to do was to wait for the final hour.
Lying on the bed, Xiao Bing fell asleep after watching TV for a while.
The next morning, Xiao Bing took a look at the watch and found it was past nine. He’d overslept. Xiao Bing thought it was because he had too much fun yesterday. It’s been a long time since he was so relaxed.
After he washed up, Xiao Bing walked out the door, intending to return to Jiang City. He suddenly remembered the bag of tea leaves. He opened it and found that besides the tea leaves, there was a debit card.
Xiao Bing took it out and recalled that he’d exchanged numbers with Lu Yuanlong. He instantly looked for his number on the phone and called him. “Hello? Is this Mr. Lu?”
Xiao Bing’s cellphone had a dual-card, dual-standby feature. The one he used to contact Lu Yuanlong or people he was not familiar with was an anonymous account. This was so that people would find it hard to dig out his information.
Lu Yuanlong knew what this was about after the phone was put through. He smiled, “Dragon Master, how was your night?”
There was a hint of licentiousness in his voice. He obviously thought Xiao Bing had spent the night with Sweatheart. But Xiao Bing didn’t care what this man thought of him. “Good. Mr. Lu, I just checked the tea leaves you gave me. Why is there a debit card?”
Lu Yuanlong smiled, “So you are asking about this. Interesting, because I was about to tell you about it. Its password is six digits of eight. It’s just a small gift.”
“I never accept unmerited rewards. We don’t even know if Uncle Yu will agree to meet you or not.”
Lu Yuanlong laughed, “It doesn’t matter. I just want to make friends with you. Besides, you were our guest last night, which means you supported our business in some way. It’s just a tiny present compared to your generosity.”
Xiao Bing thought inwardly, “I won money and even the VIP Card was given by you. You didn’t get a single shilling from me while you lost one of your staff. No one will believe what you said.”
Xiao Bing knew what this man wanted, but he did not say it directly. He felt it was no use returning the card because Lu Yuanlong would likely not take it back. Xiao Bing didn’t want to have it for free, so he thought he might have to make a call to Yu Wenhua.
Xiao Bing said on the phone, “I’m about to leave this city but I suddenly remembered that I haven’t said farewell to Uncle Yu. How about this? I’ll call him later and ask him if he wants to meet you or not.”
Lu Yuanlong sounded elated, “That’s so kind of you. So I’ll leave it to you now. Bye.”
After hanging up, Lu Yuanlong trotted towards Master Xu’s room in haste. He knocked on the door and went in after he got Master Xu’s permission, “Master Xu, that Long Jun has promised to arrange for a meeting for us. He said he will call Yu Wenhua soon,” said Lu Yuanlong merrily.
“Really?” Master Xu’s eye’s brightened instantly. “I only regarded him as one of my baits. I didn’t put too much hope on him. But it will be a surprise if he really wants to help.”
Lu Yulong smiled, “I thought the same.”
“But don’t be too optimistic.” Master Xu’s calmness returned, “Yu Wenhua is a very independent man who will never take others’ advice easily. Besides, this Long Jun is so young. And you said he is also called the Dragon Master? I suddenly recalled a man who is also called Dragon Master.”
“Really? Who is he?” Lu Yuanlong asked.
“Haven’t you heard of the Four Young Masters of Jingdu? Three of them have powerful backgrounds, and the last one is a mystery man. No one has seen what he looks like because he always wears a mask.”
Lu Yuanlong nodded and said in awe, “One of them is our…”
“Yes. The reason why the four are so renowned is that they all come from noble and powerful families, which makes them leaders of the next generation. But the Dragon Master is a mystery. No one knows his true identity. He is regarded an equal to the other three because allegedly he slept with many beautiful women. Because of that, he had many conflicts with the moguls in Jingdu. But he won every time, which meant he does have a superior identity. Most importantly, the most beautiful woman in Jing Du said that she won’t marry anyone one unless it’s the Dragon Master…”
Lu Yuanlong sighed, “It seems that this Dragon Master is not a man to be trifled with, since he is regarded equal to the other three.”
Master Xu nodded, “Of course. It’s just that I haven’t heard of any prominent family called Long in Jingdu. He’s still a mystery. Well, Long Jun can’t be him. Though his last name is also Long and he is close to Xu Wenhua, there’s no way he has anything to do with the Four Masters of Jingdu. Maybe I was overthinking it.”
Lu Yuanlong asked, “What should we do now?”
“Let’s just wait for news from him. If Yu Wenhua still doesn’t want to see us, we need to find other ways. But it’s not necessary to develop a relationship with this arrogant man. Sooner or later, he will pay for his pretentiousness.”
Luo Yuanlong said, “But this Yu Wenhua is not a simple man. He is widely regarded as the second-in-command in this province while he is not even 50 yet…”
“I know. Why do you think I attach so much importance to him?” Master Xu sneered, “I have a broader vision than you. In the next few months, there will be elections for a new term. By then, the present Provincial Party Secretary will definitely pass his seat to Yu Wenhua, a man who’s not even 50 years old. It’s just a matter of time before he enters the management circle of the nation. We will be filled with regret if we miss any chance…”
Master Xu seemed to be thinking of something, his eyes turning gloomy. This was just what Xiao Bing had predicted. It was not just a place for gambling. They had more profound reasons for wanting to curry favor with Yu Wenhua.
