Bang!
Park Yong-dae, Minister Kim, and even Lee Moon-kyung all dropped their beer glasses on the ground.
Then the three of them stared at me intently, almost as if I were a ghost...
Part One: A Man in the Martial World, Forced by His Own Will, Chapter Ninety-Six: It Never Ends
Fang Nan smiled happily. Fang Nan, who already possessed a stunningly beautiful face, looked even more breathtaking at this moment! Minister Jin was also very straightforward. After admitting defeat on the spot, he readily had two of his Korean beauties bring the documents and signed the contract with Fang Nan on the spot. At the same time, he immediately drafted a private agreement, in which he would personally invest and give Fang Nan an additional 5% of the price.
After receiving the contract, Fang Nan immediately said goodbye to me. I was filled with mixed feelings of joy and worry, and I seemed a little absent-minded when I said goodbye to Jin Chang.
Li Wenjing's attitude towards me was also somewhat different... I always felt that his eyes were shining brightly when he looked at me, as if he wanted to see right through me! When we parted, Li Wenjing patted my shoulder and said in a very serious tone, "Call me!"
Without thinking much about it, I went into the elevator with Fang Nan to say goodbye.
As we drove out of the parking lot, Fang Nan finally couldn't contain her excitement and grabbed my arm in the car: "Chen Yang! How did you do that?"
"What? How did you do that?" I pretended to be clueless.
"Don't lie to me." Fang Nan's eyes were full of excitement: "Although I don't quite understand your game, you had a very strong hand every time, at least that's something I can understand. And you won from beginning to end, without losing a single game! Have you studied professional gambling techniques?"
I paused for a moment, then didn't answer immediately.
I'm afraid even if I had studied professional gambling techniques, I might not be a match for these people... I subconsciously pressed my wallet in my pocket. I had already carefully put the ring in my wallet; I had put it away when I excused myself to go to the restroom as soon as the gambling game ended.
At the same time, I thought of a very important detail.
Should I make some other preparations? If I encounter similar situations in the future, and I only wear the ring when necessary and then take it off after winning, over time, these details will inevitably be noticed by observant people… The secret of the ring cannot be revealed!
Because I was preoccupied with these questions, I forgot to answer Fang Nan's question. However, Fang Nan didn't seem inclined to press me, simply smiling gently: "Alright, if you don't want to say, I won't ask anymore! Let's find a place to eat now... What would you like to eat?"
"I..." I gave a wry smile, but still carefully said, "Fang Nan, I have a headache. I want to go home."
"..." Fang Nan was silent for two seconds, then smiled again, though this time it was a little forced: "Are you not feeling well? Then I'll take you home."
"No need, I'll drive you to the company now, and then I'll drive home to rest myself." I shook my head.
Actually, I'm worried... because I used the ring again today to forcibly boost my luck, which isn't meant for me... I'm very worried about what kind of side effects I'll suffer next!
It was probably after I won the lottery for the first time that my house caught fire. That incident left a very deep impression on me, so every time I use the ring afterward, I'm terrified that my house will catch fire.
Perhaps it was because I was under a lot of stress, but my complexion wasn't very good. Fang Nan thought I was really feeling unwell, and a worried expression gradually appeared on her face: "I'll go to the hospital with you... Well, never mind, let's not go to the hospital. I'll take you directly to see my family doctor..."
"Really, it's not necessary." I declined her offer outright, noticing that Fang Nan's expression was a little unnatural, with a hint of grievance in her eyes. I sighed and softened my tone, "I'm really fine, there's no need for that. I just have a bit of a headache, I'd like to go home and get some sleep."
“But at least let me take you home, otherwise I won’t feel at ease!” Fang Nan said, then her expression suddenly changed slightly: “You…you don’t want me to take you home because you’re worried your girlfriend will see…”
"No." I said helplessly, "She probably went to work during the day. You... sigh, Fang Nan, you don't really need to think so much."
Fang Nan's complexion improved slightly, and I comforted her a couple more times before driving back to the company. I dropped her off at the company's main entrance. Fang Nan stood at the building's entrance, waving goodbye repeatedly, her worry undisguised on her face. I gritted my teeth, steeled myself, and drove away.
I only drove my Toyota at 40 km/h... I've never been so obedient to traffic regulations since I learned to drive a Toyota! I stop at red lights and go at green lights, I don't run red lights or rush, I slow down and yield when necessary, and I never cut in front of others. I'm afraid of making even the slightest mistake!
I drove home with a pounding heart and parked the car in the complex. As I went upstairs, I hesitated for a second… and finally didn't take the elevator, but instead took the fire escape stairs.
Even though I consider myself to be in pretty good shape, running up ten flights of stairs in one go left me breathless. Standing at my front door, looking at the entrance, it seemed like nothing had happened...
I felt a little more at ease, took out my keys, and went inside. The house was quiet. I guessed that Little Money-Grubber and Yan Di had both gone out during the day. I called out once, and sure enough, no one was home. I breathed a sigh of relief and immediately checked for gas leaks, the electrical fuse, the kitchen water pipes, and so on.
After looking around, everything is fine.
I couldn't help but wonder if I was being too nervous. But the more things seemed to be going smoothly, the more uneasy I became! After all, I had forced myself to use the ring today! There was no reason why there shouldn't be any side effects!
I sighed, nervously took out a cigarette, put it in my mouth, lit it, and took only one puff when I suddenly heard the bedroom door open... It was Yan Di and the little money-grubber's bedroom.
Amei emerged from the room wearing an almost transparent set of lingerie, a towel wrapped around her hair, and earplugs in her ears, as if listening to loud music. She swayed her feet to the beat, bobbing her head, and humming some strange lyrics.
"I love handsome guys... handsome guys love me... to me... what does Andy Lau mean..."
I was stunned...
Ah Mei's red, semi-transparent bra squeezed out a rather impressive cleavage from her otherwise average-sized breasts... I won't even mention the white cleavage in the middle... I remember Mary saying that a woman's breasts are like water in the sea. You can always squeeze some out!
What almost made my eyes pop out... was the super tiny slit that Ah Mei was wearing...
A standard T-back. Also known as a thong...
What is a thong? To put it simply, regular underwear is underwear where you can see your buttocks when you pull it aside; but a thong... you have to pull your buttocks aside... to see the underwear.
The most wicked thing was… despite my best efforts to look away, the edge of that palm-sized, triangular, semi-transparent piece of fabric below the front of my panties… God, I could clearly see several clearly visible black hairs stubbornly sticking out from under the pressure…
The key point is that Amei hasn't seen me yet! She has two slices of cucumber stuck to her eyelids! She walked out with her eyes half-closed and her head tilted back, wiggling her little bottom as she weaved through the living room.
I'm even a little impressed with this girl! She could walk through the living room with her eyes closed, as if she knew the entire layout by heart! She turned where she was supposed to, moved aside where she was supposed to, and effortlessly walked to the refrigerator, opened it, took out a bottle of yogurt, then removed the two slices of cucumber from her eyelids, popped them into her mouth, chewed them, stuck the straw into the yogurt bottle with a "pop," and then turned around…
This time she finally saw me...
I clearly saw the little money-grubber's expression change little by little. His mouth, which was originally pouting, gradually turned into an "O" shape. His eyes widened, and then he clenched his fists and let out a scream from his diaphragm...
"ah……"
I immediately waved my hands frantically: "No, no, don't yell! I didn't mean to! You..."
Ah Mei, being a fiery woman, shut her mouth. Her face, however, darkened...
There's a murderous aura about him!
Just as I was having this thought, Ah Mei had already taken action!
She was originally standing in front of the refrigerator by the kitchen door, but after realizing what was happening, she rushed into the kitchen, and before I could even finish a sentence...
With a whoosh! A flash of cold light appeared, heading straight for my face! I immediately turned my head to dodge. I felt a chill brush past my ear...
Take it!!
All I could see was our kitchen knife embedded in the wall behind me, its handle still trembling violently!
I broke out in a cold sweat...
What a ruthless woman!
Just as I was about to speak, another flash of cold light appeared! How could I dare to catch it with my bare hands? I could only dodge. It wasn't a kitchen knife that flew at me, but a fruit knife...
Then, all the kitchen knives in our house—big cleaver, small cleaver, fruit knife, and pointed spatula—were transformed into vicious projectiles in the hands of the little money-grubber and flew towards me! I dodged left and right, only to hear a continuous clanging sound as the wall behind me was already covered with all sorts of knives!
Ah Mei's murderous intent erupted. She opened the cupboard, grabbed a thick stack of plates, and then hurled them at me...
The living room erupted in a cacophony of crashing and smashing, countless shards of porcelain flying everywhere. I tried my best to dodge, but A-Mei grew increasingly furious. After throwing away more than a dozen plates, she started smashing bowls, and soon all the bowls were gone…
Seeing that Amei was about to turn around and move the microwave, I was so startled that I quickly shouted, "It's done!"
"Go to hell, Chen Yang! You scoundrel!!" Amei was furious.
I knew there was no point in trying to reason with them now, so I quickly ran to the front door, yanked it open, slipped out, and slammed it shut behind me. Then I heard a loud bang from inside; something had slammed heavily against the door…
Hopefully it's not a microwave...
Helpless, I shouted through the door, "Ah Mei, I didn't mean it! It's a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding! You saw me naked and you just say it's a misunderstanding! Then take off your clothes and let me see you again, and I'll say it's a misunderstanding again, okay?!" Amei roared in the room.
I got impatient and said, "Then what are you going to do? I already said it was a misunderstanding! We're all adults, these kinds of misunderstandings can just be laughed off! There's no need to be so childish!"
"Nonsense! I am pure and innocent, and now that you have seen everything, you still dare to say there is nothing wrong!" Amei shouted angrily from inside.
I'm helpless; I know I can't win an argument with this girl now. She's angry. I'll just leave first...
As I walked downstairs and out of the building, I suddenly felt a little lighter...
If this is the side effect, then I can actually rest assured. It's just a small misunderstanding... much better than something serious going wrong.
I really don't understand... Everyone's such a good friend of hers. They have a good relationship. They're all adults, why be so petty?
It was just an accidental bump, I didn't do it on purpose. Even if she was angry, she apologized and I could have just laughed it off... Why did she react so strongly?
I had just stepped out the door when the phone rang. Looking at the number, it was from home! After answering, I heard Ah Mei's furious voice: "Chen Yang, let me tell you, this isn't over!"
I was getting a little annoyed: "Miss, do you really need to act like this? I just bumped into you by accident, it wasn't intentional! I can apologize to you. It's not like we're mortal enemies, why are you acting so bitter?"
Amei's tone on the phone was chilling: "That's your idea! You dare to peek at me, I'll make you pay! I..." Her voice suddenly trembled with tears: "I've never been looked at like this before! You, you're dead!"
"Then what can I do?" I said helplessly. "I've already seen it. I can't exactly take my clothes off and show them to you too!"
“Fine! Unless you strip naked and show me too, then we’re even!” A-Mei said without hesitation on the phone.
"Are you crazy?!" I said without any politeness.
Indeed, I was wrong in this matter, but she was being far too unreasonable!
"Hmph, we'll wait and see! You'll be back tonight, right? Be careful when you take a shower! And be careful when you sleep at night too!" Even though it was through the screen, I could almost see Ah Mei's fierce and gesticulating manner as she spoke.
"Damn it, are you ever going to stop?!" I roared.
That girl is going too far! She makes a big deal out of nothing! Don't forget, she's living in my house now! She's my tenant, and she doesn't pay a single penny of rent! And to put it bluntly, she's not my personal caregiver anymore... I'm perfectly healthy now, I don't need any caregivers at all!
Amei has been living with me all this time, simply because she doesn't have to pay rent. It doesn't bother her; we're all so familiar with each other, good friends, so it's fine for her to stay.
Besides, I let her stay for free, and she also acted as a huge third wheel between me and Yan Di... I didn't say anything about any of that, and she's Yan Di's good friend, we all get along very well, so I tolerated it all... But how could she be so... so ungrateful!
All the anger I had inside me suddenly exploded. Luckily, I managed to control my temper in time, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have said some really hurtful things!
Although I don't consider myself a good person, I've always been fairly loyal. But now I can't help but feel a bit angry with Amei... I guess I'm just angry, I even thought about telling her to move out!
You eat my food, live on my land, and still throw a tantrum at me! What right do you have?! Xiao Wu, what do I owe you?! Who are you to me?!
Thinking this, I suppressed my anger and slowly said into the phone, "Ah Mei, I'll say it one last time: what happened just now was purely an accident. I can apologize to you; it's nothing serious, and there's no need to make such a fuss. If you insist on being unreasonable, then I..." I thought for a moment, "At worst, we can just stop living together. To avoid this trouble!"
"..." There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Amei's voice was a little deep: "You mean, you want me to move out? Fine! Just say so!"
Snap!
The power supply failed!
I'm furious!
Damn it, what kind of mess is this?! This woman is totally crazy! Completely insane!
I walked out of the residential area, feeling indignant, and started wondering where to go...
A moment later, the phone rang again.
The caller this time was Yan Di.
As soon as the call connected, Yan Di's anxious voice came through: "Brother Wu...you want A-Mei to move out, right? What happened between you two? Why do you want her to move out? Brother Wu, I beg you, please don't do this, okay?"
