Chapter 100: Narrow Road of Enemies
When Little Spicy's soft lips lightly touched Xiao Ping's cheek, he clearly felt his heartbeat stop for a moment, numb and tingling as if electrified.
Although Song Le is straightforward, she has never taken the initiative to kiss a young man before. After kissing Xiao Ping, Little Chili's face was really red like a chili pepper. She couldn't even speak clearly: "I... I have to go back to class, you eat slowly, I'll leave first!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Song Lei ran out of the room like a fugitive. Watching her slender figure disappear at the door, Xiao Ping couldn't help but touch his face where he had been kissed and muttered to himself: "The one who played the rogue actually escaped first, I thought I was going to be pushed down, too disappointing!"
Because Song Le was in a hurry to run out, two waiters immediately came into the private room - they thought they had encountered a dine-and-dash. Helpless Xiao Ping had no choice but to stay and pay the bill. When he walked out of the restaurant, he found that Little Chili had long since disappeared without a trace. However, Xiao Ping soon received a text message from Song Le: I've gone to school, I'll keep an eye on the house for you!
Seeing this message, Xiao Ping couldn't help but smile. Song Lei was still obviously not over what had just happened, so she didn't dare to meet with Xiao Ping. Since that's the case, Xiao Ping also didn't plan on going to find Song Lei and instead decided to go directly to Wuyan Zhai. However, at the time, Xiao Ping hadn't thought that this decision would change the fate of many people.
Xiao Ping arrived at Wuyan Zhai, familiar with the place, and directly found a partner to follow him. He began selecting jade stones using his unique method. Although Xiao Ping had only been there once before, he was highly regarded by the owner, Mao Wenqing, so the partners also left a deep impression on him. They not only treated Xiao Ping with great hospitality but one of the partners had already secretly called Mao Wenqing to inform him that the young man from last time had arrived again.
Xiao Ping carefully selected the jade material, and this time his pouch was much fuller. He didn't spend much time looking around all the counters, and after one round of selection, he had already picked out the best quality jade pieces from each grade. The shop assistants had already calculated the total price of the jade stones, and in just over 20 minutes, Xiao Ping had spent over a million yuan.
However, to help the Lian Yao Hu continue evolving, Hua Zai was willing to spend more money. He paid the bill without hesitation and put all the jade stones of various sizes into his bag. At this moment, Mao Wenqing also hurried back.
Mao Wengqing, dressed in a Tang suit, was very polite to Xiao Ping. As soon as they met, he smiled and said: "Xiao brother, you're just in time! I was just thinking of calling you. Come on, come on, let's go to my office and talk!"
Xiao Ping politely agreed, shouldering the jade stone and following Mao Wengqing to his office upstairs. The shop assistant quickly served them good tea, and after taking a sip, Mao Wengqing said slowly: "Brother Xiao, do you still remember what I told you last time? I've already received the notification from that side, the jade gambling meeting will start in four days, don't know if Brother has time?"
Going to gamble with Shi Duo would also be beneficial for Xiao Ping, so he naturally agreed immediately: "No problem, I can arrange the time."
"That's great." Mao Wenqing continued to ask: "Is Xiao Lao Di in a convenient position? If not, I can help."
Xiao Ping knew that Mao Wenqing's question was not about whether he had money, but rather how much he would bring to gamble with, and immediately smiled: "I still have over 1.5 million on hand, it should be enough."
At first, Xiao Ping said he would bring over a hundred million, and this number was also within Mao Wenqing's acceptable range. He smiled contentedly: "Since that's the case, it's best. However, I still have a junior who wants to follow along and see the world, Mr. Xiao won't mind, will you?"
"This is your personal matter, I won't interfere."
Xiao Ping's attitude delighted Mao Wenqing. He was just about to say a few polite words when an assistant knocked on the office door and said, "Boss, Mr. Hu has arrived."
Mao Wenqing smiled and said: "Xiao younger brother, that junior of mine has arrived. Come on, let me introduce you to each other."
Xiao Ping would not refuse, he had just stood up with Mao Wenqing, a middle-aged man wearing glasses with golden edges walked in with a smile. When the two saw each other clearly, they involuntarily let out a cry of surprise at the same time: "Is it you?!"
"Do you know each other?" Mao Wenqing said unexpectedly: "This world is really too small, I didn't expect it."
The junior in Mao Wenqing's mouth was Hu Qiang. He glared at Xiao Ping fiercely and said, "Old Master Mao, how did you know this kid?"
"A Qiang, don't be unreasonable!" Mao Wenqing's face turned stern as he said: "Mr. Xiao is a jade appraisal expert I've invited, this time the whole bet on the stone relies on him!"
It was unexpected that Xiao Ping had this skill, and Hu Qiang didn't dare say anything more. Although Mao Wenqing appeared to be just the boss of Weixiu Zhai on the surface, in reality he also had strong power and status in the province's underworld. Someone like Hu Qiang might seem impressive among ordinary thugs, but to Mao Wenqing, they were no different from ordinary thugs. Therefore, Hu Qiang absolutely didn't dare offend Mao Wenqing because of Xiao Ping, especially since Mao Wenqing was now seeking help from Xiao Ping, and he became even more afraid to do anything to Xiao Ping.
Mao Wenqing also saw that Xiao Ping and Hu Qiang had a past, and hurriedly asked with a smile: "Does Xiao brother know Hu Qiang?"
"We didn't even know each other, just some misunderstandings in the past." Xiao Ping turned to Hu Qiang and said: "Right, Mr. Hu? I treated you like that at the entrance of the Blue Bar for your own good, don't be ungrateful!"
Hu Qiang was not convinced, turned his head and ignored Xiao Ping. Xiao Ping didn't mind either, just smiled faintly: "The woman you wanted to take in the car that night is Zhang Yuxin, she's the boss of Xinyi Advertising Company. But she also has another identity, she's the daughter of Vice Governor Zhang Guoquan."
Hu Qiang's furious expression changed instantly. Although he usually swaggered around the East District, when faced with someone in a position of authority, he immediately became servile and would even be cautious when dealing with a mere police station chief. If it were really the vice provincial governor's daughter who had been taken advantage of while drunk, things wouldn't go well for him - at best, he'd have a hard time; at worst, he might even be sentenced to death.
Huang Qiang's cold sweat had all come down by now, but he still stubbornly said: "Who knows whether what you're saying is true or false?"
Xiao Pingdao said: "I have already made everything clear, if you don't believe me, you can go and investigate yourself."
Xiao Ping wasn't worried that Hu Qiang would dare to harm Zhang Yu Xin. The thing that those who mix in the underworld fear most is the government, he knew that if he found out about Zhang Yu Xin's true identity, he would stay far away and wouldn't dare provoke her again. If Hu Qiang didn't know about Zhang Yu Xin's identity, she would be even more in danger.
Mao Wenqing observed from the side and knew that Xiao Ping wasn't speaking nonsense, so he hurried out to mediate: "Ah Qiang, Brother Xiao definitely wouldn't speak randomly. Even if you two had some past conflicts, Brother Xiao was doing it for your own good; why not just shake hands and make peace?"
