Chapter 1179: 812 The Jianghu isn’t about fighting and killing

"Yun Xi, have you heard? Something big happened in Gangcheng yesterday."

Peninsula Hotel.

Restaurant.

Yang Ni was mysteriously gleeful.

Pei Yunxi, who was waiting for someone with her, replied carelessly, "What big thing?"

"I heard, but I’m not sure it’s true," Yang Ni lowered her voice and whispered, "Xiang Shang was dragged around the streets with a rope tied to a bike for a big loop."

Only then did Pei Yunxi’s expression slightly change as she confirmed, "Xiang Shang?"

"Yes, the Crown Prince of the Xiang Family."

Yang Ni nodded, her famously enchanting face showing surprise and disbelief, "Afterwards, he was thrown into Victoria Bay; if there hadn’t been many people around, he might have drowned."

Such news should be as sensational as the sulfuric acid attack incident at the Peninsula Hotel, if not more so.

After all, this is Gangcheng.

The Xiang Family has been calling the shots here for an era and remains unbreakable to this day.

Attacking the Xiang Family’s Crown Prince.

This was no mere provocation.

It was almost akin to declaring war on the Xiang Family.

Even with your butt, you could figure out the gravity of such an action.

If this news isn’t a case of misinformation, then how confident must the person who dared to do it be, if not outright insane?

"Is it possible that it’s just a rumor?" Pei Yunxi asked.

"I don’t think so. This kind of thing... No one would dare to make it up without reason, the rumors outside are quite serious, and many people are saying the same. It’s just that the public media dare not report it."

Stars are humans, too.

They gossip just the same.

Especially about such a "once-in-a-lifetime" piece of news.

"But if this is really true, the Xiang family probably won’t bother you any time soon."

As Yang Ni finished her sentence, Jiang Chen and Bai Haoran walked into the restaurant, talking to each other.

"Mr. Jiang."

Yang Ni stopped in her tracks and quickly flashed a charming smile to greet them.

"Miss Yang, to have you treat us to a meal, I feel quite embarrassed," said Boss Jiang, seemingly forgetting how readily he had agreed earlier.

"It’s only right. Actually, I’ve wanted to invite Mr. Jiang to dinner for a long time, but never found the opportunity. Mr. Jiang, if there’s any good movie project in the future and you’re short on actors, don’t forget to consider us at Honey Sweet."

Yang Ni was indeed quite adept at social interactions.

Compared to offering unsolicited favors, being forthright about one’s aspirations undoubtedly made a more comfortable impression.

"Even if Miss Yang hadn’t mentioned it, I would have thought of it," said Boss Jiang with a heartily positive laugh: "There’s plenty of time ahead, and we will surely have opportunities to collaborate."

"Then I must thank Mr. Jiang in advance for your support."

Yang Ni’s smile grew even brighter.

In terms of flattering people, her skills were clearly a Mount Everest above those of Pei Yunxi beside her.

"Mr. Jiang, you haven’t made introductions yet," she hinted.

Instantly, Yang Ni’s gaze naturally shifted towards Bai Haoran.

Jiang Chen was surprised and looked at Pei Yunxi, "Don’t you know Brother Bai? You didn’t tell Miss Yang?"

Knowing is one thing.

But how could Pei Yunxi be familiar?

"Miss Yang, I have long admired you, Bai Haoran, I am one of your fans," Bai Haoran took the initiative to speak, polite and courteous.

"Mr. Bai is joking," said Yang Ni with a smile, playfully teasing with just the right dose of flattery, "Someone like Mr. Bai probably doesn’t have much time to watch movies."

Little could she guess that a year ago, the man was just a small pool hall owner; not only chatting and laughing together now but, under a normal life track, someone like her, a major star, would likely never cross paths with him.

"I disagree with Miss Yang’s view. Actually, I quite enjoy watching movies. I even attended the premiere of Miss Pei’s film," Bai Haoran said.

It seems that beauty indeed receives special treatment.

Bai Haoran doesn’t normally talk this much.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but wonder if he truly was a fan of Yang Ni.

"If it’s Yun Xi’s movie, Mr. Bai, of course, you would support it," Yang Ni took the opportunity to probe: "May I ask what business Mr. Bai is in?"

"Helping Young Master Jiang manage the casino," Bai Haoran replied honestly.

Casino?

Yang Ni felt greatly surprised.

Then it dawned on her.

No wonder he exuded such a presence and demeanor.

She glanced again at the understated young man, suppressing her inner astonishment, "Mr. Jiang’s business scope is really wide, isn’t it?"

"Miss Yang, do you also have this hobby?" Mr. Jiang asked in a joking tone: "If so, please give us your patronage in Haojiang next time."

Many stars, actually, privately enjoy gambling, and there’s no shortage of those who have accumulated huge debts because of it.

"Don’t lead me astray; I never touch gambling," Yang Ni naturally gave him a sideways glance, her eyes twinkling coquettishly.

"Indeed, addiction is not good, but occasional relaxation is harmless," Boss Jiang ’kindly persuaded’.

Yang Ni couldn’t help nudging Pei Yunxi’s arm, "Look at Mr. Jiang, he’s already scheming against me."

Gambling.

Deeply despised by the public.

But as a celebrity, acceptance naturally runs a bit higher than the average person. They won’t judge issues merely by simple good or bad, that’s what children do.

Like it or not, casinos in Haojiang and around the world will continue to exist and shine brightly, attracting countless gamblers.

"Miss Yang, as a friend, would I lead you astray? Our casino has only been open for a short while. If you visit, consider it supporting us, bringing in some popularity. If you win, you take it; if you lose, it’s on me."
