Chapter 200: To continue listening, pay up_1

“Mr. Zhou, I’m sorry, I… I was impulsive just now, please forgive me.”

Lu Yuzhu looked at Zhou Kai with sincere trepidation.

Her anger had momentarily made her forget where she was.

Starting a fight at Mr. Zhou’s banquet was akin to slapping the host in the face.

Zhou Kai’s oppressive aura receded as he regained his smile, “Alright, let’s consider the matter closed. Let’s all give me a bit of face and pretend nothing happened.”

Actually, anyone with discerning eyes could see that Lu Yuzhu seemed to have a guilty conscience.

If the matter was pursued further, it would likely end badly.

By stopping the confrontation now, he was also saving face for both sides.

Although he was well-intentioned, Xi Yongchang didn’t see it that way. He stood up immediately, “Old Zhou, it’s not that I don’t want to give you face, but this is about my and Mrs. Lu’s reputation. I must clarify this today, please forgive me.”

Zhou Kai gave a wry smile and shook his head, “Is it really necessary?”

“Yes!” Xi Yongchang insisted.

“Well then, go ahead,” Zhou Kai spread his hands and continued to watch from the sidelines.

Xi Yongchang turned to look at Tang Feng again, “You just said Mrs. Lu unexpectedly came into wealth? Clarify what you mean.”

Tang Feng bowed his head eating his dish, “I don’t want to talk anymore.”

“Bang!”

Xi Yongchang slammed his hand on the table, staring at him dead in the eye, “That’s not up to you, I order you to speak.”

Tang Feng slowly put down his chopsticks and looked up at him, “Order? What right do you have to order me?”

“I said all I did earlier out of respect for Mr. Zhou. You think I do fortune-telling for free? If you want to continue listening, pay up.”

“You…”

Xi Yongchang was so furious he almost spat out blood.

But what Tang Feng said wasn’t wrong — who does fortune-telling for free?

“How much do you want?” He suppressed his anger and asked.

“One hundred thousand.” Tang Feng didn’t make an exorbitant demand and named a price he believed was fair.

“One hundred thousand? Why don’t you just rob me?” Xi Yongchang was immediately enraged.

Street fortune tellers charged only dozens or hundreds of yuan per session.

Even those more skilled cost just a couple of thousand.

Someone like Semi-immortal Niu, a top-level fortune teller, might charge a few tens of thousands.

This kid just opened his mouth and asked for one hundred thousand, treating him as if he were an easy mark?

Tang Feng didn’t understand the market rates, so he quoted that figure.

But looking at Xi Yongchang’s expression, he knew he had aimed too high.

Still, since the demand was made, there was no need to change it then and there.

“This kind of thing is naturally voluntary. If you think my price is high, you don’t have to get your fortune told.”

“You…”

Xi Yongchang, though boiling with rage, was more eager to understand the situation and thus temporarily suppressed his anger, “Fine, one hundred thousand it is, but you’d better be accurate. Otherwise, my money is not so easily swindled.”

He then asked Tang Feng for his account details and transferred one hundred thousand yuan to him.

The onlookers chuckled to themselves at his actions; it seemed Mr. Xi was truly desperate.

“Can you speak now?” asked Xi Yongchang after completing the transfer, his tone far from amiable.

“For one hundred thousand yuan, I will answer three questions. Think carefully before you ask,” Tang Feng now adopted an air of superiority, not wanting to be taken lightly.

Although Xi Yongchang was itching with irritation, he could not afford to lose his temper right then. After a moment of reflection, he asked his first question, “You said earlier that her fortune is prosperous? But she’s just a secretary, where could this fortune come from?”

Tang Feng picked up a piece of food and took a sip of wine before replying in a relaxed manner, “She is your secretary, isn’t it very easy for her to get her hands on some money?”

Xi Yongchang’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Are you saying she embezzled funds? I will have the finances investigated right now, and if you’re spouting nonsense…”

Tang Feng immediately rolled his eyes, “You’re a grown man, have some imagination, will you?”

“Apart from embezzlement, are there no other ways to make money? Oh, that answers your second question, by the way.”

Xi Yongchang was at a loss for words.

He worked in construction, a field where there are plenty of ways to make money.

For instance, contractors are bound to replace ways to stuff cash into the pockets of those around them in order to secure contracts.

As his secretary, Lu Yuzhu might not hold a senior position, but she certainly had some power.

For her to take bribes would be easy enough.

“Mr. Xi, don’t listen to this kid’s nonsense, I’ve never taken any bribes,” Lu Yuzhu was now thoroughly panicked and tried to explain herself.

But Xi Yongchang wasn’t listening at all, still looking at Tang Feng with a cold smile, “Taking bribes is such a thing that offers no proof to catch someone red-handed, who knows if what you’re saying is true or false?”

“Do you have any other evidence that she’s been keeping a man?”

Lu Yuzhu glared at Tang Feng viciously, “If you dare to wrong me again, I won’t let you off.”

Tang Feng heard her threat and couldn’t help but silently shake his head.

This woman was really being stupid to death.

If she became a bit softer now and showed a pleading look, he might have gone soft and let her off.

But even now, she was thinking of threatening him.

Did she really think he was easily frightened?

“You can check her records of staying at the Xinxin Hotel on the 3rd, 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th of this month.”

“With your capabilities, it shouldn’t be difficult to replace out, right?”

After saying this, Tang Feng fell silent.

As Xi Yongchang absorbed the information, his face turned utterly grim.

He didn’t even need to investigate to know that Tang Feng was telling the truth.

Ever since he had become involved with Lu Yuzhu, she had almost spent every night with him.

But this month, indeed, there were a few days she made various excuses to avoid him.

Now, thinking about it, those days matched exactly with the dates Tang Feng mentioned.

“You damned bitch, did you really dare to cuckold me?”

Xi Yongchang, no longer concealing his affair with Lu Yuzhu, lashed out in furious rage, swinging a slap at her.

With a “slap!”

He was a burly man, and his slap, fueled by rage, was powerful.

Lu Yuzhu was immediately sent spinning to the ground.

Xi Yongchang was still not satisfied, and rushed over to beat and kick her.

Those seated near them quickly stood up to break up the fight.

The private room descended into utter chaos.
