CHAPTER 231: 229, IS EVERYONE ASLEEP? WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD DO?

"Lin Xiaoyun, and Li Bo Kai, I’d like to see how you two wrap this up!"

From a distance, Chen Bolin was drinking, watching the commotion from afar.

It could truly be considered watching the fire from across the river.

Should I stand by and do nothing, letting an estrangement grow between you and White Glove? Or should I enter the fray myself? To clash jade against pottery?

Chen Bolin cackled sinisterly.

This game, I’ve definitely won. This is the price for crossing me.

"Brother Li Bo Kai, my name is Wu Yufan. I’m here to find Luofeng, and I bear no hostility towards you three."

Wu Yufan had no intention of provoking Li Bo Kai. Getting back at Luofeng, the White Glove, was enough.

"Oh?" Li Bo Kai burst into laughter. "Sorry, I couldn’t help it. Who is this oddball?"

"Indeed, quite humorous," Lin Xiaoyun also started laughing.

"Buddy, we’re giving the Wu Family of West Mountain some face here. You better scram on your own, and we can pretend this never happened," Chen Dali stood up and chuckled.

"He’s just a con artist. Why are you getting involved?" Wu Yufan was also puzzled.

"You keep calling me a con artist. What exactly have I conned you out of?" Luofeng couldn’t help asking.

"You didn’t con me; you conned Miss Duanmu!" Wu Yufan turned to Duanmu Yunji. "The car you gave her belonged to Li Bo Kai!"

"He’s deceiving you, do you understand?" Wu Yufan said to Duanmu Yunji.

"What a nutcase," Duanmu Yunji said, looking at him expressionlessly.

Li Bo Kai couldn’t restrain his laughter again. "Is this guy for real? Is he part of some comedy troupe? What an act! Even though there’s been a conflict, I just can’t bring myself to be mad."

Duanmu Yunji actually almost couldn’t hold back her laughter either. In the end, it was the laughter of Li Bo Kai and Lin Xiaoyun that provoked her into a snicker.

Her smile was one that could dim the splendor of a hundred flowers. Was this what they called a femme fatale? Indeed, with a figure like that, who wouldn’t want to hold her? Flawless skin, a perfect body. Absolute perfection!

"You hang out with Chen Ergou, right?" Chen Dali remembered something and blurted it out.

"That bastard Chen Ergou went off to study in West Mountain. This idiot is also from there; he must’ve been fooled by Chen Ergou’s deceptively simple and honest appearance. What a moron!" Lin Xiaoyun exclaimed.

"Chen Ergou is infamous in Capital City for being a scumbag! And you actually hang out with him? Ten of you wouldn’t be enough for him to mess with," Li Bo Kai couldn’t help but add.

"Forget it. Just leave. And don’t hang out with Chen Ergou in the future; he’s been no good since he was a kid. Look at you, causing a scene here—where’s Chen Ergou? Why isn’t he here with you?" Chen Dali said this much.

And then it dawned on Wu Yufan. Indeed, Chen Bolin had no intention of helping him, and he hadn’t shown up either.

"What an idiot!" Li Bo Kai scoffed.

"If it weren’t for such a moron, how could we get such a comedic effect? I’ll post this on Moments Circle later. By the way, let’s give Chen Ergou some ’publicity.’ That grandson is really fucking devious!" Lin Xiaoyun said.

Luofeng also figured it out.

Had Wu Yufan been sold out and was now unknowingly helping count the money for those who betrayed him? Disgusting. Truly foolish.

Wu Yufan felt incredibly awkward, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Duanmu Yunji gave Wu Yufan a glance and then affectionately snuggled into Luofeng’s arms.

"This guy is really dumb! A complete lunatic!" Duanmu Yunji said.

Wu Yufan also heard this remark. If it had been said by Chen Dali and the others, he could have pretended not to hear it, but coming from Duanmu Yunji...

His heart ached as if a knife had been plunged into it. He had fallen for Duanmu Yunji at first sight; why was she scorning him so cruelly?

It had to be said, some people were just twisted. Did Duanmu Yunji even know him? He had disgusted her twice in a row. Wasn’t it perfectly justified for her to call him a lunatic?

Wu Yufan decided to slip away silently...

"I told you to scram. That was to teach you some manners, Gun! You hit someone, showed no remorse, and now you think you can just walk away?" Chen Dali said bluntly.

"Then how should this be settled?" Wu Yufan looked at Zhang Shunyong.

"Luofeng, what do you think?" Chen Dali looked at Luofeng.

"This Xiaoyong isn’t usually very perceptive, but he was smart for a moment today. Are you alright?" Luofeng looked at him. "Is it serious?"

"It’s nothing, just a scratch. I’ll bandage it up later!" Zhang Shunyong said, waving his hand dismissively.

"Hey, man, let me ask you again: are you seriously hurt?" Luofeng rolled his eyes.

Zhang Shunyong instantly got the hint. He lightly clutched his head... as if in terrible pain.

He lay down!

Played dead!

HAHAHA!

Luofeng almost peed himself laughing.

"..."

Wu Yufan was speechless when he saw this act. Are they treating me like an idiot?

"What’s your deal? Quite the actor, aren’t you? Get up, or I’ll make you regret it!" Wu Yufan kicked Zhang Shunyong. What kind of bullshit is this?

"What’s this? You hit someone and now you’re threatening them?" Luofeng scoffed.

"Shut your mouth! Li Bo Kai and the others are backing you today, so I’ll let you off... but I’d like to see if anyone’s there for you next time," Wu Yufan glared at Luofeng and said directly.

"????"

This guy really is a comedian. Hasn’t anyone called ’cut’ yet? Is the comedy still going on?

"Luofeng, this guy’s got issues!" Chen Dali said.

"Brother Dali, give me your honest opinion: do I look like an easy target?" Luofeng asked seriously.

"In Capital City, when the four of us are together, you definitely look like the easiest one to pick on!" Chen Dali touched his nose, still laughing as he spoke.

Lin Xiaoyun added, "I think so too!"

"No matter what you guys think, I definitely don’t look like someone to mess with. I’m super fierce!" declared the spirited young Li Bo Kai. With his spiky hairstyle and flashy clothes, he indeed looked like he wasn’t to be trifled with.

"It’s mainly because many people in Capital City know us. There’s nothing we can do about that," Lin Xiaoyun said, helplessly pursing his lips.

"Exactly. And as for Brother Feng, although he speaks standard Mandarin, anyone can tell he’s not from Capital City. Around here, in Capital City circles, many people don’t take wealthy outsiders seriously," Li Bo Kai explained.

"Alright, you guys decide. What’s it going to be?" Wu Yufan said. He couldn’t figure out Luofeng’s real identity; their conversation was like a riddle to him.

"Well, the man’s already on the ground. What do you think?" Luofeng then said to Zhang Shunyong, "Xiaoyong, they say you’re faking it. What will it take for you to get up?"

"Without eighty to a hundred thousand, a month in the hospital should do it!" Zhang Shunyong said weakly.

"Pathetic! Say it again!" Luofeng ordered.

"My head... I think I have a concussion! I reckon it’ll be hard to recover without at least 200,000!" Zhang Shunyong stated.

Luofeng turned to Wu Yufan. "Did you hear that?"

Wu Yufan, suppressing his anger at Luofeng’s words, retorted, "Aren’t you guys going too far? 200,000? Is this robbery?"

"No, robbery is wrong. But compensating for medical fees is perfectly legitimate, fair, and reasonable," Luofeng chuckled. "Otherwise, why do you think so few people dare to get into fights these days? The cost of assault is just too high."
