BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1520 - How Long Are You Going To Continue Acting?
Shangguan Yun instinctively wanted to get up, but he paused briefly before sitting back down. He looked helpless and vulnerable as he sat in the corner.
Huo Yao did not know what to say.
Shangguan Yun was starting to wear the culprit’s patience thin. The moment Huo Yao came upstairs with his subordinate, he felt surprised by her aura.
The young man was right. They had made plans to meet somewhere else, but she did not show up at the agreed meeting point. Instead, she came straight over. It was clear she was no ordinary woman.
The man in the lead composed himself before looking at Huo Yao with a fierce look on his face. “Are you his older sister?”
Huo Yao stopped looking at Shangguan Yun. Instead, she glanced at the man in charge and spoke with composure. “What has he done? Why are you detaining him?”
The moment she brought up the subject, the man instantly felt angry.
He gnashed his teeth as he replied. “He wrecked my casino for no reason. I lost nearly 50 mil in an hour thanks to him. He is lucky that I was in a generous mood when I did not maim him immediately!”
When Huo Yao heard the number, her temples throbbed angrily. She should have seen this coming. Shangguan Yun always made her life hard.
“What do you want then?” asked Huo Yao.
The man glanced at Shangguan Yun in the corner and replied. “Simple enough. If you pay me for the loss I’ve made today, you can take him away anytime.”
Huo Yao went quiet briefly and asked. “How much?”
“50 mil,” replied the man.
Huo Yao went speechless.
Damn him. That was going to cost her the entire cash prize for doing the research project. She wondered if it was worth her trouble.
Huo Yao inhaled deeply before she looked at the man and said calmly, “Sorry. I’ve changed my mind.”
The man did not quite get her drift.
Huo Yao pursed her lips and responded expressionlessly. “Feel free to beat him up instead.”
Shangguan Yun was such a troublemaker. It felt unfair for him to get away with this kind of bullshit.
Shangguan Yun was at a loss.
The man in charge and his subordinates felt equally lost.
The man said angrily, “Does this mean you aren’t paying us? Are you messing with us?”
“You’re mistaken. I don’t have money,” replied Huo Yao in all honesty.
“What do you mean no money?” The man in the lead laughed coldly. He had seen people from all walks of life, so he could tell Huo Yao was rich. “Anyway, your little brother already said you have the money.”
Huo Yao promptly turned to look at the young man in the corner.
Shangguan Yun quickly lowered his head uneasily.
Even though Huo Yao looked completely different physically, some things never changed and she was still a miser.
Huo Yao rubbed her brow. She looked at the man and laughed coldly. “You opened an underground casino to make money. The moment you lose money, you try to make someone else foot the tab. Why should I pay?”
She knew Shangguan Yun well, so she had an inkling of the reason he had done this.
“Does this mean you’re not paying up?” The man in the lead narrowed his eyes threateningly and signaled for his subordinates at the door.
Some men promptly walked over and surrounded Huo Yao.
Huo Yao stood where she was and looked up nonchalantly. “How long are you going to continue acting?
