***********************************
The group walked out of the street and stopped as it was finally time for them to separate.
Watching Dugu Xiaoyi walking away, Jun Mo Xie turned his attention back to Tang Yuan. He smiled faintly at Tang Yuan. "Young Master Tang is truly masterful! Keke! You even ended up losing your wife. I cannot help myself but admire you to the extreme."
Tang Yuan suddenly became furious, his face becoming blotched red!
Observing Tang Yuan's reaction, Jun Mo Xie's eyes slowly turned ice-cold. "Tang Yuan, it does not matter if you want to clown about. However, this time around, you nearly got me killed! Do you know how strange today's matter was?"
"Ah? Nearly got you killed?" Tang Yuan was shocked and senseless. Not even in his dreams would he imagine that these words would flow out from Jun Mo Xie's mouth.
"Do you really think that your luck is so bad? Are you really that kind of idiotic fool? After losing all your money, you lost your sword, after losing your sword you lost your accompaniment jade? And after losing your accompaniment jade, you were actually idiotic enough to pawn off your own fiancée?... Tang Yuan, ask yourself, are you really that kind of an idiot? Even if you were that big of an idiot, how severe would the consequences of this matter be? The reputation of two great families will be discredited! Can you afford to bear those consequences? You actually did not consider these at all! Did you not think that something was wrong here?"
Jun Mo Xie glared relentlessly at Tang Yuan, his set of eyes transforming into a sharp knife, piercing deep into his heart, "Ask yourself. Do you really have the guts to do something like this?"
Tang Yuan's face, which had been bitterly crying, slowly became calm. He was no fool. On the contrary, he is actually a very shrewd debauchee. Listening to Jun Xie's words, he started to recall what had happened and realized that too many of the instances were very suspicious!
"When you entered earlier, was Meng Haizou also wearing that same clothes?" Jun Mo Xie's eyes were strict, but his mouth revealed a near devilish smile.
"Yes, but what does that have to do with it? Was there a problem there?" Tang Yuan was not able to understand.
"Did you also smell some unique perfume from Meng Haizou? It was a very pleasant scent, right?" Jun Xie Mo continued asking.
"Yes... I think there was a bit, it was indeed a very special perfume," Tang Yuan continued with uncertainty.
"Before you entered, did they also serve you a cup of tea like they did today?" Jun Mo Xie continued one after the other.
"Yes, that's right. What about it?"
"What about it? Hmph!!" Jun Mo Xie sneered. "Well, it was nothing much. It was just the beginning of your eternal damnation!"
Tang Yuan was no fool. After pondering on Jun Xie's words for a moment, he suddenly jumped up, a look of shock expressed on his face, "You mean... the tea, there was a problem with the tea?"
"Just the tea?" Jun Mo Xie sneered again. "Meng Haizou's clothes, that perfume he was wearing, that tea, all of them had problems! When a bunch of gamblers gets together, the first thing they do is drink tea. What kind of norm was that? You pig head! You actually did not notice such an obvious problem?!"
"That... but didn't you also drink the tea? How come you are still all right?" Tang Yuan felt confused.
"Hehe... I have my secret, Fatty" Jun Mo Xie's face was carrying a mysterious smile.
"What type of secret?" Tang Yuan asked curiously.
"Hehe... I will tell you some other day." Jun Mo Xie waved his hand. "Anyway, the main point is that you are still in danger. Even though the promissory note is no more, I fear the fact that you lost your wife will likely be spread out by them. You should probably figure out something to do about it."
"That is right! What should I do?" Tang Yuan asked quickly.
Discussing this matter caused fear and anxiety to well up in Tang Yuan as he was lost about what to do about it.
"At the current, you only have one path to take! And that is to go back home immediately and tell everything that had happened to your old grandpa. You must not hide anything and you must not exaggerate anything! You must launch a pre-emptive strike! Let your grandfather make the decision on what to do, he will decide what kind of countermeasures to take. But if you were to wait until he hears about this from someone else and asks you about it, then you are truly finished!" Jun Mo Xie laughed sinisterly in secret.
"As for you, you are simply someone who was set up. I believe that your old grandpa would not put too much blame on you! Not to mention, this matter can only be resolved in this manner, your old grandpa is far more capable of dealing with such matters compared to you. You must be feeling very furious at them right now, right? I will teach you another great trick. First, leave your sword and accompaniment jade with me for the time being. Then, take one million silver liang bills to redeem them! And when they cannot bring them out... you understand?" Jun Mo Xie lowered his voice, almost as though he was a devil who was in the process of tempting the average layman to commit a crime.
"Correct!" Tang Yuan slapped his thigh, "This is the only viable way, and also the only chance to gain the initiative!"
"Oh, right! I will give you another good stuff," As though he was performing a magic trick, Jun Mo Xie pulled out a teacup from within his bosom.
What was most surprising was that there were still a few drops of water within the bottom of the cup...
"This was the cup that contained the drug, I took it with me earlier," Jun Mo Xie smiled. "There seemed to be a bit left inside."
"Hahaha... Pro! Truly a professional! Third Young Master is definitely a professional!" Fatty Tang carefully took the cup. He then quickly 'rolled' away with the sound of a horse breaking wind, just like a wild horse that had its rear sliced open.
"Trying to plot against me? Then I will just plot against you first!" Jun Mo Xie observed Fatty Tang's back as he rolled away and smiled proudly.
'The game of chess is moving, and it seems things are going to get interesting very soon. Hehe...'
