Chapter 2 - 0002 Performance_1
Seventh floor, inside a private room.
“Fish bone soup.”
“A big lobster for me.”
“You must have never tasted this before, genuine garoupa, the texture is especially good.”
Ye Xiong’s chopsticks moved swiftly; in a moment, Wang Tong’s bowl was full.
The people around them watched with piercing gazes, their eyes filled with scorn at the two who looked as if they’d reincarnated from hungry ghosts.
“Brother Xiong, I can pick up my own food, you should eat too!” Wang Tong said embarrassedly.
“I’ve eaten plenty before,” Ye Xiong said, completely indifferent to the surrounding gazes. After all, it was a hit-and-run meal, who knew who?
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
“Are you full yet?” Ye Xiong asked.
“Very full.”
“Let’s go!”
Ye Xiong stood up, pulled him up, and without further ado, they headed for the door.
As they stepped out, they saw from a distance Xiao Fangfang walking towards them with two security guards.
“Brother Xiong, it’s that beauty from before!” Wang Tong shouted, pointing at Xiao Fangfang.
“Hurry and leave this place,” Ye Xiong quickly ordered.
“Why are we leaving, aren’t we going to watch the wedding?” Wang Tong asked, puzzled.
“If we don’t run fast, they’ll catch you and beat you up hard,” Ye Xiong said gravely, whispering into his ear, “I don’t even know Yang Xinyi at all.”
“Damn it, I’ll settle the score with you later.” After learning the truth, Wang Tong made a flamboyant turn and ran for his life.
“You little rascal, you sure run fast.”
Ye Xiong, facing Xiao Fangfang, placed his index and middle fingers on his lips and made an extraordinarily graceful flying kiss gesture, then swiftly headed upstairs.
“Catch him, or you won’t need to come to work tomorrow,” Xiao Fangfang exploded with rage.
This guy not only freeloaded a meal but also dared to blow a kiss at her; he clearly had a death wish.
The two security guards hastily chased upstairs, their livelihood at stake, they had to go all out.
Below the tenth floor of Dongfang Hotel were dining and karaoke rooms, and the eleventh floor and above were guest rooms. Running up to the eleventh floor, Ye Xiong took out his iPhone 6 and placed it on the magnetic sensor of the first room.
The phone screen flickered continuously, followed by a soft beep.
“Low-grade sensor!”
Pushing the door open, Ye Xiong slipped inside.
The two security guards never imagined Ye Xiong would enter a room. After looking around and finding nothing, they continued their chase to the twelfth floor.
Hearing the footsteps recede, Ye Xiong opened the door to leave, only to suddenly encounter an infuriated and buxom beauty storming up the stairs – if not Xiao Fangfang, who else could it be?
Upon seeing Ye Xiong, Xiao Fangfang froze for a second, ready to explode with a tirade of curses!
Ye Xiong quickly covered her mouth and dragged her into the room, then slammed the door shut.
Pushing her against the wall, Ye Xiong flashed a charming smile and said with gentlemanly grace, “Now you have two choices: first ‘X’ then kill, or first kill then ‘X’. Which one will you choose?”
Xiao Fangfang was close to collapsing, tears streaming down her face.
She never expected to encounter a pervert, fearing she was about to be thrown to the wolves today.
Oh heavens!
Would her beautiful life really end this way? She couldn’t accept it!
“Of course, you have a third option!”
This spicy girl was too easily frightened, bursting into tears at the slightest scare.
“Stay quiet in here, don’t shout or scream, and come out after I’ve left.”
Xiao Fangfang nodded desperately. Her little life was the priority; she agreed to anything he said now.
“That’s more like it, being obedient!”
Just as Ye Xiong was about to leave, the door lock beeped, indicating someone had entered.
“What bad luck!” Noticing a wardrobe nearby, Ye Xiong quickly pulled Xiao Fangfang into it to hide.
As soon as they hid, door sounds followed by intimate noises were heard.
Ye Xiong cracked open a sliver in the wardrobe and saw a man and a woman getting busy on the bed.
“Wow, a live show, shall we take a look?” Ye Xiong whispered.
Xiao Fangfang shook her head frantically, both shocked and embarrassed. She never thought she would be so unlucky.
She thought she could call out for help once someone came, only to find that the person seemed like they had just gotten out of jail after a year and were as ravenous as if starved for several years, getting right down to business as soon as they entered.
“This girl has a nice figure.”
“That position, it’s high difficulty!”
“Eh, what’s that move called?”
Ye Xiong commented as if enjoying an adult film from the Island Country, incessantly giving his judgments.
The wardrobe was tiny, forcing the two to squeeze together with hardly any space, even having to stick close to each other just to fit.
This was already extremely embarrassing for Xiao Fangfang, and now hearing him utter such remarks – how could she tolerate it? But the thought of the unsightly scene outside made her clench her teeth and hold back. All she wanted now was for time to pass quickly.
Just then, she suddenly realized that at some point a “paw” had appeared in front of her, causing her face to drastically change.
“What are you trying to do?”
She hoped this guy wasn’t stimulated to the point of wanting to do something to her.
The space was too cramped; Ye Xiong, whose hand had inadvertently been placed in front of Xiao Fangfang, let go and started digging in his pocket.
Xiao Fangfang’s face turned pale.
“It’d be a waste not to record such marvelous scenes,” Ye Xiong said as he pulled out his phone and started recording.
Xiao Fangfang breathed a sigh of relief, mistakenly thinking he couldn’t handle it and wanted to do something bad to her!
Five minutes later, the couple finally stopped, followed by the sound of them getting dressed.
“After tonight, will it be hard to see you again?” the woman asked with languid sorrow.
“I’ll find time to be with you,” the man said while dressing, “I should go down first; a lot of people are waiting for me.”
“I’m going to take a shower first!”
Next, the man went out, and the woman entered the bathroom.
If not now, then when?
Ye Xiong stepped out of the closet, hearing a slight gasp.
Xiao Fangfang’s feet were a bit numb from standing too long in the cramped space.
“Women are such a hassle!” With no other choice, Ye Xiong had to support her and walk out the door, then said, “Beauty, this will be our last farewell.”
“Stop right there!” Xiao Fangfang commanded.
Only a fool would stop. Ye Xiong bolted away.
Xiao Fangfang was secretly amazed; she was very confident in her own allure, yet in that situation, this guy actually managed to resist; a man with such strong self-control was truly rare.
Could it be that he was impotent?
If Ye Xiong knew what Xiao Fangfang was thinking at this time, he’d surely go insane.
He approached the elevator, where a man in his mid-twenties was waiting—shockingly, it was the same youth who had been in a fervent battle in the room just before.
Dressed in clothes he looked like a decent human being; unlike just before when he was no different than a beast.
Ye Xiong glanced unintentionally at the man’s chest, where a red ribbon hung from the collar of his white shirt, emblazoned with two golden characters: Groom!
This guy was actually the young master of Haoyang Group, the groom for tonight’s wedding, He Haodong.
Poor Yang Xinyi!
Such a woman, chased by countless men, had been so blind. The groom was cheating with another woman, and on their wedding day no less, how tragic!
Ye Xiong debated whether to tell Yang Yi, but then thought better of it. They were neither friends nor relatives, why invite trouble?
In this world, people are killed every day, go hungry or are framed; in comparison, being cheated on is nothing. He was by no means a hero.
“Finally found you.”
After making a round upstairs, two security guards returned and saw Ye Xiong, pointing their stun batons at him, they ordered loudly, “Don’t move.”
Ye Xiong raised his hands.
He Haodong looked at Ye Xiong strangely and asked with a frown, “What’s going on?”
“Young Master He, this guy crashed the banquet for free food,” said one of the security guards.
“What shall we do with him?” asked the other guard.
“Break his legs and throw him onto the street,” He Haodong said indifferently.
“Are you sure you want to do this and won’t regret it?” Ye Xiong’s expression cooled.
Just for a free meal, to break someone’s legs, that’s way too cruel, even the Black Triad Organization isn’t this ruthless.
“Break his arms as well.”
He Haodong straightened his coat collar, not even giving Ye Xiong a proper glance as though he was just an ant, not worth a moment of his time.
The two security guards approached, pointing their batons at Ye Xiong, and said viciously, “You little punk, daring to freeload at Dongfang Hotel, prepare to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair!”
…
Xiao Fangfang, limping along, arrived at the elevator, only to see two security guards lying on the ground. Ye Xiong stood beside them, she asked curiously, “What happened to them?”
“Maybe they fell asleep,” said Ye Xiong, dusting off his hands.
“You didn’t knock them out, did you?” Xiao Fangfang asked in shock.
The security guards of Dongfang Hotel were all professional ex-military, even with batons they could take on three or four ordinary people without a problem. If they were really knocked unconscious by the guy before her, how capable must he be?
“I’m a civilized man, I don’t resort to violence to solve problems,” Ye Xiong said with a smile, then took out his phone, “Here’s something for you to see.”
He opened up the video he had recorded earlier and held it out to her, strange noises emanating from the phone.
“Pervert, turn it off already!” Xiao Fangfang quickly turned her face away.
“If you don’t want to watch, fine. I just thought you’d like to appreciate the groom’s ‘bravery’.”
“What did you say?”
Her gaze fell on the video, and Xiao Fangfang instantly turned both embarrassed and angry, her neck flushing red. She had never seen such things before, but she had to watch, to confirm if it was He Haodong or not.
So this is the expression women have when they watch this kind of film!
Witnessing Xiao Fangfang’s face, Ye Xiong suddenly found it very entertaining.
“You son of a bitch raised by a dog, I’ll never let you off,” Xiao Fangfang snatched Ye Xiong’s phone and didn’t even wait for the elevator, she stormed down the stairs instead.
“My phone,” Ye Xiong quickly chased after her.
That was a purchase that cost him over six thousand bucks.
“What time do you think it is now? My best friend is being bullied by another man, and you still have the nerve to ask for your phone back? Do you even have a conscience?”
“I can send you the video.”
“There’s no time.”
“Don’t run so fast, watch out for your feet.”
Seeing her in those needle-thin high heels, Ye Xiong genuinely worried for her.
Speak of the devil, a sharp scream echoed, and Xiao Fangfang collapsed to the floor.
“You and your damn crow’s mouth, can’t you keep your mouth shut for once?”
Xiao Fangfang was in so much pain, tears were about to fall. She saw him standing there dumbfounded, and yelled, “What are you staring at? Xinyi’s been kissed by him!”
“So what if they kissed? They’re married. You think they’re still pure or what?”
“Xinyi is religious, she opposes any physical contact before marriage. Up until today, she hadn’t even held hands with him,” Xiao Fangfang said.
“This is the best joke I’ve heard today.”
“She called me yesterday, saying she regretted getting married. Believe it or not, but help me down now,” Xiao Fangfang urged.
“It’s just a meal, you think I have it easy,” Ye Xiong said reluctantly as he helped her down the stairs.
“I’m warning you, don’t try anything funny…” Before she finished, she slapped away the hand that was getting too close, scolding, “Where are you touching?”
“Sorry, I’m a bit myopic.”
Xiao Fangfang: “…”
