Song Miaomiao was extremely furious, but she soon calmed down, for she knew Shi Lei was trying to agitate her on purpose.
Even so, how could a woman bear such insults? Not to mention a woman like Song Miaomiao.
Yu Banzhi said something before that Shi Lei didn’t really take note of. He said that you couldn’t judge a book by its cover. The rumours that flew around weren’t exactly right. In reality, Yu Banzhi was subtly telling Shi Lei that although Song Miaomiao was crazy, she was not what she seemed to be on the outside, nor as devoid of principles as what the rumours said. She was rebellious and unreasonable and walked down an unusual path. Perhaps she didn’t behave as well as Wei Xingyue on matters between men and women, but she wouldn’t allow just anyone to get it on with her.
Shi Lei seemed to have the impression that she was the kind of woman who did that sort of thing, so how could Song Miaomiao bear that?
“500,000 yuan? Alright, I’ll take you somewhere. If you can walk out standing tonight, I’ll take your 500,000 yuan and sleep with you!”
Ho! She really agreed? Shi Lei quickly began to calculate. For one night with a damned ladyboy with a distinguished background, 500,000 yuan shouldn’t be too expensive in the eyes of the Black Card, right? Shi Lei regretted not asking the Scepter clearly. Since the money he spent as a sugar daddy could count, then prostitution should as well, right? Especially for someone like Song Miaomiao…perhaps 500,000 yuan for one night was a worthy deal!
But Shi Lei quickly realized that he was overthinking it. Her words were, at most, those of anger and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
The Hummer stormed down the street and was the subject of many curses. Eventually, it safely stopped in front of a place that resembled a factory.
Song Miaomiao impatiently honked the horn in front of it and someone from inside the yard opened the big iron gates. She drove in without looking.
There was an empty space in the yard with a row of rooms that looked like a warehouse, which overall resembled of a small factory. There were two cars parked in the front yard and as Shi Lei glanced at them, he was sure that it was impossible for this place to be a factory. Any factories of this size shouldn’t be parked with cars like this.
When he first started paying attention to car brands, Shi Lei was blinded by ones like the Koenigsegg, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918, so he didn’t think it was a big deal when he saw those three or four million sports cars parked outside.
But at least it proved that this factory or warehouse was definitely not as simple as what it seemed to be.
“This is a ring I have shares in. Today is not a competition day, but there is a boxer I invited from Thailand. These cars are also mine. I have a private game with them, and the bet is ten million USD!” Song Miaomiao turned off the engine with a cold face, pushed the door open, and stepped out with her dazzling legs.
“I wanted to expand your horizons, but since you didn’t want to, hmph…”
Shi Lei finally understood why Song Miaomiao said that if he could walk out standing tonight, then he could have her for one night with 500,000 yuan. She planned to let the Thai boxer beat him until all the bones in his body were broken.
But was that really okay?
Shi Lei touched his pocket, feeling that his phone was still there. He wasn’t afraid anymore.
“I absolutely loathe violence!” Shi Lei suddenly thought of showing off. He even brushed his hair back, which had made some progress over the past two months, but it was a shame that the hairs were of different lengths.
Song Miaomiao looked at him coldly and said, “It’s too late to loathe violence now. You should’ve kept your mouth shut instead of saying you wanted to have sex with me for 500,000 yuan. I am interested in you because I haven’t encountered someone this entertaining before, but that doesn’t mean you can talk to me like that. No one dares to talk to me like that. Even Wei Xingyue! Go and ask if she dares or not!”
Shi Lei waved his hands and asked in terror, “You plan to make me fight that Thai boxer?” Song Miaomiao snorted as an answer. “If I can really walk out, you’ll really do one night for 500,000 yuan?”
Song Miaomiao was on the verge of exploding. Her plump chest heaved as she forcefully retained her anger and said, “Rest assured, even if all the bones in your body are broken, I will send you to the hospital and pay for the best medical care to connect all of them together one by one. I don’t kill, but it’s a must for me to teach you this once in a lifetime lesson!”
Shi Lei patted his chest and said, “Aiyo, you scared me to death. It’s just boxing. Although I don’t like violence, if someone uses violence against me, I would definitely fight back. But Song Miaomiao, remember what you said. I have 500,000 yuan ready, so if you dare run away, I will break all of your bones and connect them together again with this 500,000 yuan. Except I don’t know if that would be enough!”
“You sure have guts! I hope that you can still stand on the stage like a man!”
Song Miaomiao headed for the warehouse. Shi Lei felt the phone in his pocket and followed her with relief.
It was just a Thai boxer. Shi Lei didn’t believe that an amateur boxer in an underground ring was better than an honored boxer in the field. The difference between underground and professional boxers was that underground boxers fought for their lives, unlike professional boxers who were restrained by a time limit and many rules. But that didn’t mean the combat skills of underground boxers were better than that of professional boxers, not to mention those kings of boxing who never lost a game.
The Scepter had told Shi Lei about the Ancient Times’ Martial Arts masters’ capabilities, so he shouldn’t lose when being ganged up by three modern kings of boxing. As long as they didn’t use weapons and it was one on one, Shi Lei mused that he would be invincible in the world after being possessed.
Not to mention that his opponent was just a Thai boxer and Shi Lei really didn’t pay too much attention. Contrarily, he finally had the chance to test the power of the martial arts card. He was somehow looking forward to it!
He followed Song Miaomiao into the gate and a few voices spoke.
“Shui Ye, I thought you weren’t coming!” The person who spoke sounded unusual. “This place is quite professional. I saw your boxer. Doesn’t seem like he can handle it. Don’t blame me for not telling you, but my boxer has already fought for thirty games and none of the boxers could last over three minutes. All of them were K.O.s!”
Song Miaomiao’s voice was cold. She had already been agitated by Shi Lei and now she let out her anger on that person.
“This is an underground game, not your professional gold belt competition! Can you find a single game that was not won by K.O.?! Cut the crap. Do you have your money ready?”
“Haha, all in cash, Shui Ye. Don’t be heartbroken later!”
When Shi Lei looked at the person, he noticed that he was rather tall. He wasn’t handsome, instead appearing cunning and malicious. His chin was pointed outwards like a shoe lift. His nose resembled that of a hawk. His eyes weren’t big, but his sockets were deep, which didn’t really seem Chinese.
That person also saw Shi Lei, who was standing behind Song Miaomiao. A teasing smile appeared on his face and said, “Aiyo, Shui Ye, did you change your tastes? You didn’t bring a beauty today, but a small white face(1).”
“It’s none of your business! Did you come to box or to talk?” Song Miaomiao roasted him mercilessly.
Shi Lei wasn’t happy being called a small white face. “You think you’re invincible just by talking? This is about all you guys can do,” he said, adding on to Song Miaomiao’s roast.
“Hey brat, be careful, for out of the mouth comes evil!” It wasn’t the man who had spoken, but some guy with a powdery face, sounding slightly feminine.
Small white face: means a man who relies on women for financial support
