Liu Ergou had not even taken a step when his cell phone rang again from his pocket. Hearing the ringtone, he raised an eyebrow and took out his phone to look.
Sure enough, it was Mi Xiaoying calling again.
Shaking his head, Liu Ergou answered the call. Imdiately, Mi Xiaoying's voice ca through from the other end.
"How about it, Liu Ergou? I didn't lie to you, did I? Has sothing really gone wrong with Baozhi Hall, just as I said it would!"
Liu Ergou did not answer directly, but just snorted coldly. Mi Xiaoying naturally understood what he ant.
"Now you know I wasn't joking with you!" she continued. "This was just a small punishnt. I only want to tell you that in this city, when I say one, nobody dares to say two! Now, I'm giving you another chance. Co to Ting Tian Pavilion and have a cup of tea with ! Otherwise, what might happen next… well, I can't make any guarantees!"
When Mi Xiaoying said these words, her tone was calm, but her words were full of arrogance. It was as if Liu Ergou were at on the chopping block, completely at her rcy.
Just as she was feeling triumphantly self-satisfied, Liu Ergou's response pulled her right back to reality.
"I'm not going!"
On the other end of the line, Mi Xiaoying froze in place. She hadn't expected that even after she had made herself so clear, Liu Ergou would still dare to refuse her. After a long silence, she finally spoke again.
"Liu Ergou, do you really think I'm joking with you? I can use the sa thods as today to make Baozhi Hall silently vanish from the stock market without a trace! You should know that without its protectors, Baozhi Hall is like a small boat in stormy seas, at risk of capsizing at any mont!"
At these words, Liu Ergou laughed disdainfully.
"Ha, so what if you can! You think you can use this to threaten ? Speaking of which, there is one thing I actually have to thank you for. Because of your actions, Baozhi Hall made a nice profit on the stock market, which helped ease its financial crisis! Besides, it seems you're not the only power in this city, are you, President Mi?"
After hearing Liu Ergou's words, Mi Xiaoying was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode. Initially, she had wanted to teach him a lesson and show him just how terrifying her power was. But things had backfired; her sche had inadvertently let Baozhi Hall turn a profit, easing their current crisis. Most importantly, Liu Ergou was now brazenly threatening her. Although she considered his threats insignificant, she couldn't tolerate such a thing happening.
Thinking this, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"Liu Ergou, you country bumpkin, what gives you the right to threaten ! On what grounds? Just because you can heal people? Or do you think Lu Shuangyue can protect you? Let tell you, even though Lu Shuangyue's background is extraordinary, if I decide to move against her, no one can stop !"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou almost laughed out loud.
Tsk, this Mi Xiaoying is really sothing else. She actually wants to help get revenge by going after Lu Shuangyue's family. That would be perfect! I was just wondering how to make a move on them, and here cos Mi Xiaoying, offering herself up on a platter.
With this in mind, a bold idea erged in Liu Ergou's head.
But as Liu Ergou was deep in thought, Mi Xiaoying, on the other end of the phone, was starting to feel smug. In her eyes, his silence was a sign of fear.
"Liu Ergou, you're scared now, aren't you! Although the Lu family is a prominent clan in Jingdu, I, Mi Xiaoying, have never been afraid of them. Once I really make a move, even if they…"
Before Mi Xiaoying could finish her sentence, Liu Ergou rudely interrupted her.
"President Mi, anyone can brag! If we're talking about bragging, I'm an expert. Believe it or not, I could probably brag a bull to death! If you're really that great, then make your move! Let tell you, if you *don't* make a move, I, Liu Ergou, will look down on you from the bottom of my heart! There's an old saying: a biting dog doesn't bark. You bark so much, you must be… tsk, tsk, tsk!"
The rest of Liu Ergou's words were dripping with scorn, but Mi Xiaoying didn't hear them. From the mont he had spoken his first taunt, she was too consud by anger to register anything else.
"Liu Ergou! You don't believe , do you!" Mi Xiaoying roared. "You just wait! Don't you dare think I'm joking with you!"
With that, she decisively hung up the phone.
Looking at the disconnected call, a smirk ford on Liu Ergou's face.
Heh heh heh! It seems Mi Xiaoying isn't too well-inford, and on top of that, not too bright either. She's a perfect weapon, one that hits wherever it's pointed! I wish her success!
Thinking this, Liu Ergou's mood brightened. He pocketed his phone and started humming a tune, preparing to head back to Zhang Man's room for a good talk. But he had only taken a few steps when the phone rang again.
Hearing the ringtone, Liu Ergou was so angry he ground his teeth, wishing he could smash the device.
Who the hell is calling now? Who else could it be besides Mi Xiaoying?
Feeling like his patience was about to explode, Liu Ergou took the phone out of his pocket and glanced at the caller ID. The person calling was Leng Shasha.
Seeing Leng Shasha's na, Liu Ergou couldn't help but stroke his chin. Why would she suddenly call ?
Out of curiosity, he answered the call.
"Hello, Sister Shasha, what's up? If it's nothing important, don't bother telling . I have really important things to take care of here!"
After saying that, Liu Ergou was about to hang up.
Leng Shasha, hearing this, quickly stopped him. "Wait, wait, wait, Er Gou, don't be in such a hurry to hang up! If your big sister is calling you, it's definitely for sothing urgent!"
Not daring to waste any more words, Leng Shasha quickly stated her purpose. "I was wrong about what happened before, Er Gou. If you have ti, please co and treat Qiu Shui."
Hearing her words, Liu Ergou couldn't help but snort coldly.
This Leng Shasha… she wants to play both the good cop and the bad cop all by herself. Back when I was treating Zhu Qiushui, she was the one who stopped . And now, she's the one asking to treat Zhu Qiushui! Does she really think I don't have a temper, that I'm at her beck and call? I may like a few of them, but that doesn't an I'm so pathetic, always-available bootlicker!
