Chapter 607: Chapter 270 Honey is Sweet _2
Guo Three glanced at his hand of cards, then tossed them listlessly onto the table: "Alright, alright, you two... battle it out! I’m off to the bathroom..."
As soon as he walked away, the remaining two immediately raised their voices, shouting and becoming excited in a way that would put any gambling house to shame.
By the time Guo Three returned, Sixth Miss Guo was yelling out loud: "Can’t you put your smelly feet down!? I’ve lost all night because of your stinky feet! No, I’m not done, I want to continue. Again, again..."
Guo Five retorted: "My feet are far from you! What’s hindering you? Don’t make a fuss without a cause. My leg is injured, all thanks to you! I even gave up my revenge plan for you. What more do you want? If it weren’t for you, I would’ve taught that boy a lesson..."
"Who knows what you’re thinking? You promise to behave now, but who knows if you’ll keep your word once you get home. Anyway, think it over, if you ruin my business, I’m not going to let you off the hook..." said Sixth Miss Guo with a disgruntled face.
"Alright, alright. You two have been arguing from dawn till dusk. Aren’t you tired? Well, I am! I have to catch a flight tomorrow. I’m off to bed..." Guo Three yawned, no longer having the energy to deal with the incessant quarrels of his younger siblings.
"No! We need to have some decency when playing cards. Obviously, I wish to win my lost money back..." shouted the Sixth Miss Guo. "Don’t you dare leave, you two! Leaving after winning money? How is that bravery? If you’re so mighty, then keep playing! No one’s leaving until I earn back my private savings!"
"You and your poker etiquette? Aren’t you just trying to pinch more from our pockets!" Guo Three said with a bitter smile. "So how much did you lose? Can’t we settle this if I pay you back? What if all the money on the table belongs to you? Would that suffice?"
"Not enough!" Sixth Miss Guo replied firmly. "I have lost tens of thousands already..."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..." Guo Five, who was just about to have a sip of tea, choked suddenly into a coughing fit, his face turning a little red. "Sixth Miss, all the money on the table came from me! Do you have any sense left? I have only seen you pay once and you didn’t even have much back then! Probably not even two thousand. You dare claim you lost tens of thousands today?"
"Anyway, I lost!" Sixth Miss Guo started gathering the cards on the table, shuffling them in her hands and calling out to Guo Three, "Third Brother, come on. You’re not allowed to leave. Let’s switch up the game, something quicker. Nana, pour them some more tea. Watch how I make these two lose..."
Miss Nana, who had been dozing off at a distance, suddenly snapped awake, a little confused, asked: "Miss, did you say something?"
"Refill their cups. I am going to battle with them to the end..." Sixth Miss Guo slammed the well-shuffled cards on the table, then called out to her.
"Oh!" Nana quickly stood up, picked up the water jar next to her and filled up the men’s tea cups.
"Why does this water taste sweet and smell nice? Nana, did you add something to the water?" Guo Three sniffed a bit, casually asking as he sat down.
"No!" said Miss Nana, puzzled.
As she opened the teapot to check, she cried out in surprise, "What? Who added honey to the teapot? Why didn’t I know?"
"Hurry up, I’m dealing now..." Sixth Miss Guo saw Guo Three sat down and immediately yelled out while slapping the table. "The teapot’s been beside you all this time. We’ve been here at the table, not moving at all. Apart from you, who else could have added anything to it? If you’re tired, go to sleep! Third Brother, hurry up and prepare your money, I’m ready to cause some major damage!"
"I really didn’t!" Nana defended, looking wronged. "Even if I wanted to add, I don’t have any honey!"
"Really?" Guo Three abruptly rose from his chair, his face full of tension. "Little sister, did you go out and buy honey today?"
"No!" Sixth Miss Guo had yet to understand what was going on.
"Something’s fishy!" Guo Five suddenly jumped up in surprise, standing up from the table. His leg was not in too bad a condition, otherwise, he wouldn’t have left the hospital so quickly to leisurely play poker.
Guo Three hurried over to Nana, grabbed the teapot, looked inside, then grabbed a tea cup from the table to pour a little water into it.
When Nana poured water earlier, she was so drowsy that both of their teacups already had tea leaves in them. Therefore, adding such a small amount of water didn’t reveal the color difference of the water coming out of the teapot.
Now when The Third Young Master Guo poured water into an empty cup, the difference was noticeable right away; the water did indeed have a faint color to it, with a sweet honey-like aroma.
Everyone else in the room was bewildered. This was just too strange--as if there was a ghost in the room. Each of them could swear that there was absolutely no honey in their luggage, yet where had the honey in the tea come from?
The Third Young Master Guo suddenly looked thoughtful and walked towards the door. Opening it, he said to the two bodyguards standing outside, "Brother Jun, you guys have been standing at the door all this time, haven’t you? Didn’t notice any one coming, or hear any movement?"
"We didn’t see or hear anything," Da Jun replied, face crinkling in confusion. "We’ve been standing here this whole time, and the door was always closed..."
As he spoke, a soft sound of a door creaking came from the quiet corridor, and the other bodyguard immediately became alert, whispering, "Third Young Master, that Boss Yan..."
The Third Young Master Guo froze: "What about Boss Yan?"
Da Jun had seen it too and carefully whispered back: "Boss Yan is here! He just came out of the fire escape stairwell..."
Stretching his neck for a look, The Third Young Master Guo saw it was indeed that Boss Yan who had almost brought them a nightmare. At the moment, Boss Yan was carrying a worn-out backpack, swaying his way towards them.
Seeing him come out, Boss Yan greeted with enthusiasm, "Aren’t you in bed by now, Boss Guo?"
Forcing a smile, The Third Young Master Guo asked in a slightly baffled tone, "Boss Yan, are you staying here as well?"
"No!" Yan Fei said with a laugh. "Aren’t we all partners now? You guys are leaving at 8:50 tomorrow morning, and I have things to do tomorrow and might not be able to see you off. So I came to bother you guys tonight and brought you some presents."
"Boss Yan knew we are leaving tomorrow?" The Third Young Master Guo’s smile was even more forced. "We booked our flight tickets in advance, and now that there’s nothing else to do, we are planning to return as originally scheduled. But don’t worry, our partnership will not change. We have already called to arrange for the money to be transferred over. It should be in Miss Xu’s account in a few days."
"No bother, I know! Once your money arrives, I’ll start preparing the beef for you." Yan Fei said, laughing as he pulled out two bottles from his pocket. "This is the honey produced by my own farm. It’s very authentic. I brought two bottles for you to try. It’s all rose blossom honey, sweet and fragrant."
As he handed over the honey, the bodyguard Da Jun took it with bewilderment, then Boss Yan continued, "I’ll be off then, wish you a smooth journey tomorrow!"
With that, he waved his hand and jovially left.
Da Jun watched Boss Yan disappear back into the fire escape stairs. Puzzled, he said, "Isn’t it strange that Boss Yan, chased us all the way here, just to give us two jars of honey?"
Turning back to look, The Third Young Master Guo’s face had gone somewhat pale, which startled Da Jun: "Young Master, what’s wrong?"
The Third Young Master Guo recovered after hearing his words, took the two bottles of honey from him, thought for a moment, and asked: "Brother Jun, can martial arts experts fly over roofs and climb walls? Like our high building, can they come up without using stairs?"
As Da Jun was about to answer, The Third Young Master Guo laughed at himself, "Forget it, nothing’s wrong. You two should get some rest too! I’m going to taste this honey to see how sweet it is..."
With that, he turned and went back inside the room, leaving the two bodyguards looking at each other in puzzlement.
At that moment, a small black bird flew out of a window in the fire exit, gently flapping its wings in the air. A thought ran through its little mind: "There should be no problems now, right?..."
