Free Web NovelChapter 250: Chapter 250: Wen Xiaowei Falls in Love
This time, Wild Bear had invited an even more formidable boxer, Billy, so he likely wouldn’t pull any tricks behind the scenes, especially since Billy had quite a reputation in the boxing world.
With Billy present, the other boxers didn’t expect to win the championship or the twenty-million prize money, they all aimed for the second place, which also came with a ten-million prize.
After the lottery drawing began, each boxer came up in turn to draw their number, but they weren’t allowed to take the slip of paper with them.
They gave it to the host for recording and immediately stepped down; only after this was done could the next person come up to draw.
"All done? How did it go?"
Right after Wang Hao finished drawing, Old Sun the Third came up to ask.
"I only know my own number; I don’t have a clue what the others drew, nor do I know who my opponent will be. So..."
Wang Hao shrugged helplessly.
"Well, then let’s find a place to get some rest first!"
Old Sun the Third suggested.
Just as the two were about to leave, Wild Bear approached them again.
"Gentlemen, since you’ve come to my territory, I, as the host, must take good care of you. I’ve also arranged somewhere for you to stay, and I’ll send someone to take you there right away!"
Wild Bear said with a feigned politeness.
"Thank you for your kind offer, but seeing the rules of your competition, we wouldn’t dare sleep in a place you’ve arranged—who could get any rest! No need to go to any trouble for us, Brother Bear, we’ve made our own arrangements. We’ll just go to the Peninsula International Hotel to rest!"
Wang Hao said nonchalantly.
"Hehe."
Listening to Wang Hao’s sarcasm, not only did Wild Bear not feel embarrassed, but he laughed proudly and continued speaking.
"This world is naturally a case of the survival of the fittest; all rules are set by the strong. Aren’t the systems set in place by corporations and even local governments created by those in charge?"
"Here in Chicheng County, I am the strong one, so what’s wrong with me making a rule?"
Wild Bear stared down Wang Hao unflinchingly, his eyes brimming with threats and a hint of murderous intent lurking beneath.
"Is that so? Well, I think that this rule is about to be abolished by me!"
Wang Hao didn’t back down either and said bluntly.
After speaking, Wang Hao and Old Sun the Third left Wild Bear’s club and got into a car that sped away.
Only Wild Bear remained, standing there, seething with murderous rage.
Wang Hao!
He must have underestimated him before; this Wang Hao was not to be taken lightly. Despite his rustic appearance, his eyes revealed an air of dominance unusual for an ordinary person.
During the exchange of glances between Wild Bear and Wang Hao, Wild Bear inexplicably felt a sense of fear he had never experienced before.
For someone like Wild Bear, who was used to living dangerously, to feel this way about Wang Hao was no wonder the Wu Family, one of the three great families of Zao City, wanted him gone.
If he was not eliminated soon, Zao City might one day fall into Wang Hao’s hands.
"Big Brother, it’s a call from the Wu Family!"
A lackey handed the phone to Wild Bear.
"Hello, Old Wu, rest assured, everything is under my control, and Wang Hao definitely won’t leave Zao City alive!"
Wild Bear spoke with full confidence.
"You had better make good on your words, or you know the consequences!"
On the other end, Wu Yangming’s tone was peculiar.
"Old Wu’s orders are always on my mind, and I wouldn’t dare neglect them for a moment. I just hope you haven’t forgotten about the favor I asked for..."
"You just rest easy, as soon as Wang Hao is dealt with, I’ll arrange for you two to meet immediately!"
"Then I’ll thank you in advance, Old Wu. You just sit tight at home waiting for my good news!"
Wild Bear was utterly confident about this plan.
His only concern now was how to make a good profit from the match while not messing up the Wu Family’s major interests.
When he thought about being the most powerful force in Zao City, now backed by one of the top three families, the Wu Family, Wild Bear felt victory was within his grasp.
But before it all began, he still had to meet with someone. However, meeting this person wouldn’t be easy; it required a recommendation from someone with a special status.
After hanging up the phone, another lackey ran out from the club to report to Wild Bear.
"Big brother, the random inspections and the duels have all been arranged,"
"Good. This time, Billy is coming for two reasons: half for the twenty million prize money and half to avenge his disciple. Wang Hao must die by his hand, understand?"
The Wild Bear said this while blowing smoke rings.
"Don’t worry, big brother. Wang Hao’s every opponent is our man; everything is under our control. Even if he wanted to lose, it would be hard! We’ll make sure he makes it to the final to face off against Billy!"
The underling explained further.
"The first two boxers are sent to test Wang Hao’s strength and weaknesses, so Billy can spot some flaws to finish Wang Hao off in one move when they finally clash!"
"Good! Well done!"
The Wild Bear said with a smile as he patted the underling’s shoulder in praise.
"I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful. Now, as long as Wang Hao falls in the ring, wouldn’t it be easy to take down the injured Third Sun as well?"
"With Third Sun as our hostage, Chicheng County won’t be difficult to control, will it?" freewёbnoνel.com
The surrounding underlings chimed in with flattery.
"Congratulations, big brother, for your wisdom!"
...
Inside the Wen Family’s large courtyard, Wen Xiaowei was in low spirits, which puzzled Wen Yonglin and Wen Xiangyong greatly.
Usually, this girl was carefree, liked to go to martial arts schools to wield swords and spar, and sought out others for fencing and sparring.
But recently, she had been sulking at home, refusing to go anywhere, just staring blankly at the flowers and plants in the yard.
"What’s wrong with Xiaowei? She isn’t ill, is she?"
Wen Yonglin asked with concern.
"I also find it strange. It started after the last betting on stones event!"
Wen Xiangyong was unclear about the reason as well.
"What about Zi Cong? Where has he gone off to cause trouble again?"
Wen Yonglin asked with a frown.
"He seems to be in his room."
"What?"
"I believe so, I just saw him come down and then go back up."
"Has the sun risen from the west today? He’s actually staying quietly in his room instead of going out to cause trouble?"
Wen Yonglin expressed disbelief.
Just then, Da Wu and Xiao Wu came over carrying tea.
"Da Wu, why hasn’t Zi Cong gone out today?"
Wen Yonglin asked, puzzled, as they were all peers and probably communicated more.
"Today, Miss Wen wouldn’t let Zi Cong leave the house and made him stay in his room to reflect on his actions!"
Da Wu said, unable to suppress a snicker.
Wen Yonglin also couldn’t help but laugh. Zi Cong was the Wen Family’s only grandson and had been the apple of everyone’s eye since childhood, with Wen Yonglin being especially fond of him.
He was probably spoiled rotten, very rebellious, and listened to no one’s word except for his sister, to whom he was utterly obedient. It seemed that within the entire Wen Family, only Wen Xiaowei could tame him.
This aspect was something Wen Yonglin had always failed to understand – it was probably the suppression of blood ties.
Da Wu and Xiao Wu seemed to know something else, but they didn’t say more.
"What’s been happening with Xiaowei these past few days?"
Wen Yonglin asked again.
"That..."
Da Wu and Xiao Wu looked at each other, exchanged smiles, but didn’t speak.
Seeing their knowing smiles, Wen Yonglin and Wen Xiangyong were initially baffled.
But experience speaks louder than words, and there was only one thing that could cause such a drastic change in Wen Xiaowei: she must be in love!
The thought that Wen Xiaowei might be in love brought a smile to Wen Yonglin’s face as he grabbed Da Wu and asked,
"Exactly which young man has such charm to have even seduced our Xiaowei’s soul away!"
