Chapter 375: Friend #0374 (Second Update)_1
This search was like looking for a needle in a haystack, utterly futile; he didn’t even know anything about Mr. M, except that he was a top-notch sniper.
After a mont of fruitless searching, Ye Xiong took out his phone and called Long Zaitian, informing him of the situation that had transpired here.
“I hadn’t expected that among Ghost’s disciples, there would be one who knew the art of hypnosis. This hypnosis is a kind of illusion technique; we once investigated Long Lan and it’s very possible that she is from Illusion Gate. This person nad Kassoff is also likely to be from Illusion Gate.”
“Illusion Technique?” Ye Xiong felt a chill inside.
“The so-called illusion technique isn’t so miraculous skill from the novels, but it does exist. It’s a thod that controls people through their five senses. If you dig deep, it’s nothing impressive. A person without hearing, sense of sll, and sight would never be able to fall under hypnosis in their lifeti. Next ti you encounter soone from Illusion Gate, be very careful. Seal off your five senses and don’t fall for it again,” Long Zaitian cautioned.
“I won’t make the sa mistake again,” Ye Xiong said coldly.
...
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiong then called Yang Xinyi.
Only after learning that she and Tang Ning were dining together did he relax a bit.
With Mr. M nearby, like a ticking ti bomb, Ye Xiong couldn’t be certain when he might strike to kill his people or capture his woman as a threat.
This trouble needed to be dealt with.
Worried about the safety of Yang Xinyi and Du Yuehua, Ye Xiong couldn’t be bothered with anything else; he instructed his n to deal with Little Gassov’s corpse and then rushed towards the hotel at top speed.
He soon arrived at the hotel, and just as he entered the lobby, a familiar voice reached him.
“Brother Xiong, you’ve co?”
Seeing Ye Xiong, Wang Tong was overjoyed and hurried over.
“Long ti no see, have you missed Brother Xiong?” Ye Xiong patted his shoulder.
Ye Xiong had never forgotten this friend who once worked with him.
Even though Wang Tong was just a lowly pawn without any power or martial arts skills, even though there was no value in being with him, Ye Xiong had never forgotten him.
Because in Wang Tong, he could sense sothing called friendship and innocence.
“I haven’t seen you in such a long ti. I asked Sister Hua, and she always said you were away on business. I was embarrassed to call you since your status has changed now, wealthy and powerful…”
“Nonsense, if you talk like that again, Brother Xiong is going to lose his temper,” Ye Xiong pretended to be angry.
“Alright, alright, I won’t say it again, okay?”
Wang Tong had thought that after such a long ti of not seeing each other, now that Ye Xiong was a big boss, their relationship would fade.
Such cases were all too common, just like with his forr classmates; no matter how good the relationship was, once status and inco changed, the relationship would follow.
Thankfully, he didn’t see that change in Ye Xiong.
“Brother Xiong, I have good news for you, I got a raise.”
“How much did you get?”
“Now it’s fifty thousand a month. When you were paying , I wasn’t very earnest, but now I feel like I’m worth the money,” Wang Tong said proudly.
“That’s good.”
“President Du also gave stock dividends. Now with my salary and dividends, I’m earning at least seventy or eighty thousand a month.”
Seeing his joy, Ye Xiong felt happy for him too.
A hundred thousand or eighty thousand was nothing to Ye Xiong now, simply a drop in the ocean, not worth a second glance.
But happiness can’t be asured by money.
“I don’t know why, but I’m not as happy now making more money as I was before. I often think back to the days when you and I worked on the construction site, when you pulled the brick cart and I sat on it, drinking ‘Half Jin and Eight Taels.’ I miss that feeling.”
Hearing him say that, Ye Xiong also beca sentintal.
Back then, when he was unable to extricate himself from the death of his team mbers, it was Wang Tong who had accompanied him through those days of living like a walking corpse.
So from the bottom of his heart, Ye Xiong was very grateful to Wang Tong.
I miss it too, Ye Xiong thought to himself.
“Do you have ti tonight? Du Feiyu has been wanting to ask you out for a while, let’s the three of us have a drink together,”
Du Feiyu was the head of the hotel’s sales departnt and had drunk with Ye Xiong before.
“Sure, let’s drink here tonight, and not go ho until we’re thoroughly drunk.”
“That’s settled then, no backing out. I’m going to make the arrangents,”
Having been used to being a manager, Wang Tong spoke with an air of authority that brooked no refusal.
Ye Xiong quickly found Yang Xinyi and Tang Ning, only to see they were accompanied by two people, shockingly Du Yuehua and Wang Shu, the woman who had once ****ed him over several tis.
Why is Sister Hua having a al with Xinyi?
Ye Xiong was thrown into disarray; these were the two most important won in his life, how could they be sitting down together?
Judging by the situation, they seed to be chatting quite happily.
After a long mont of contemplation, Ye Xiong braced himself and walked over.
“Sister Hua, you’re here too,” Ye Xiong said, pretending to be surprised, and to mask the awkwardness, he looked at Wang Shu and smiled, “Wang Shu, it’s been a long ti. You’ve beco even more beautiful.”
“Brother Xiong, you’re joking. I’m just the sa as always,” Wang Shu replied, her gaze sultry as she looked at him.
Blatantly flirting, Wang Shu was really sothing.
“Have you eaten yet?” Yang Xinyi asked.
“Not yet.”
Ye Xiong dared not admit he had already eaten, lest he expose himself.
Both Yang Xinyi and Du Yuehua reached for the bowl in front of Ye Xiong at the sa ti, their hands colliding mid-air.
Du Yuehua quickly withdrew her hand, embarrassed, “Sorry, I’m used to serving clients, and I’ve developed the habit of ladling soup for them.”
“I have the sa habit,” Yang Xinyi also withdrew her hand, smiling, “Since we’re all familiar here, let’s not stand on ceremony. Ah Xiong, help yourself!”
Previously, there were two people offering to serve him soup, but now both had pulled back, so there was no choice but for Ye Xiong to serve himself, amply provided for.
Tang Ning’s gaze shifted back and forth between Du Yuehua and Wang Shu, her eyes roving curiously, clearly mulling sothing over.
Ye Xiong feared this troublemaker might blurt out sothing inappropriate and kicked her under the table as a sign to keep her mouth shut.
Tang Ning seed to have truly changed a fair bit, her mouth twitched slightly as she glared at Ye Xiong but said nothing.
The al passed in supre awkwardness.
Ye Xiong chatted about so carefully curated topics, all artfully designed so as not to discomfort Yang Xinyi nor Du Yuehua, as both won were vital in his life, and he didn’t want to offend either or cause them distress.
Fortunately, everything seed to be moving in a very smooth direction.
“I bumped into Wang Tong earlier. He wants to have a drink with tonight. We haven’t caught up in a long ti, Xinyi, how about I take you and Tang Ning ho first and then hang out with them?” Ye Xiong asked.
Yang Xinyi imdiately looked unhappy.
After nearly half a month apart, instead of staying at ho to spend quality ti with his wife, he wanted to go out for drinks. Did he even hold her dear at all?
Besides, who knew if he’d use the excuse of getting drunk to not co ho, claiming he’d sleep at the hotel, only to end up in Du Yuehua’s bed?
Yang Xinyi knew all about the relationship between Ye Xiong and Du Yuehua; she would never allow such a thing to happen.
“Let’s go together. We haven’t enjoyed a drink for a long ti, and tomorrow is Saturday, so it’s no problem for Tang Ning to stay out late, as she doesn’t have classes,” Yang Xinyi said.
