Chapter 216: Chapter 0216: Another Bowling Match
Sun Zhuangjia gave Ma Zhisong a disdainful glance, muttering to himself that this guy was always wise after the event. If he was so capable, why didn’t he just kill Tang Ming?
Of course, it was also fortunate that he hadn’t made a move. If a fight had really broken out, this group would have been no match for Tang Ming.
Fortunately, they hadn’t come to blows yet, so Sun Zhuangjia could still contemplate how to deal with Tang Ming again to regain his face. After all, losing over ten million was no small matter. Although Sun Zhuangjia was wealthy, he couldn’t just let Tang Ming benefit for nothing.
The thought of Tang Ming, the little bodyguard, possibly using the money he won to woo Su Xiaoxi and even planning to book a hotel room ignited a surge of anger in Sun Zhuangjia’s mind.
Qin Kong also felt a surge of anger. It was him who dealt the cards, so how could Tang Ming still win? "Brother Sun, why don’t we just find someone to take this kid out directly?"
After hearing this, Sun Zhuangjia began to ponder it. He was a martial artist himself, and the most formidable among his group of rogue friends; finding an assassin to kill Tang Ming wasn’t easy since Tang Ming was himself a formidable martial artist. Wanting to hire an assassin, one could imagine the cost!
In Sun Zhuangjia’s view, Tang Ming’s skills should be considered quite powerful among the younger generation. Trying to have him assassinated was not only hard to find the right person, but assassination was also considered dishonorable among martial artists!
Moreover, since Tang Ming was the Liu Family’s bodyguard, if they come asking for retribution, it would not end well for Sun Zhuangjia, not to mention there was also Su Xiaoxi. Provoking her might complicate things even further.
"Forget hiring an assassin, the guy is a martial artist. A regular assassin wouldn’t be able to handle him."
Sun Zhuangjia shook his head.
Qin Kong slightly scoffed, though he didn’t voice his thoughts. In his view, Tang Ming was just a bodyguard; even if he was a martial artist, he wasn’t much skilled, belonging to the lowest level.
Ma Zhisong scratched his head, hard at thought, then suddenly a light bulb went off:
"How about we go bowling with the kid?"
"Bowling?"
Sun Zhuangjia frowned, not completely confident about bowling.
"Brother Sun, there’s a bowling alley on the basement level of this hotel, and it’s remotely controllable. No matter how capable he is, he can’t beat the machine."
Ma Zhisong, obviously very familiar with this place, said with a cheeky grin.
Upon hearing this, everyone thought it was a great idea. Moreover, if the bowling could be controlled, then it was almost a sure win.
"He’s won so much now, he might not come again. What do we do then?"
Qin Kong frowned and asked.
"Not come? Isn’t Su Xiaoxi with him? Just provoke him to come." Sun Zhuangjia said with a sinister expression.
Meanwhile, Tang Ming downed his cocktail in one gulp, which to Su Xiaoxi, seemed a waste of good alcohol.
"You need to savor the drink slowly. If you gulp it down like that, how can you taste anything?"
Su Xiaoxi started lecturing Tang Ming as she looked at him.
But Tang Ming was not pleased and threw her a glance:
"Drinking is all about feeling good. Sipping slowly is what you wealthy people and young ladies do. I’m not cut out for that."
Su Xiaoxi, not wanting to argue about how to drink, changed the subject: "I didn’t expect you to be so talented, even playing cards so impressively. Teach me some tricks sometime?"
"Teach you?" Tang Ming said:
"That would cost money."
"Money again. I helped you win so much, and you don’t even offer to share a bit with me," Su Xiaoxi pouted, expressing her discontent.
"I was your shield, and you didn’t pay me either."
As soon as Tang Ming finished speaking, he saw Sun Zhuangjia and his group approaching again and quickly interrupted Su Xiaoxi with a smile: "Here comes the God of Wealth again."
Su Xiaoxi turned her head and indeed, it was Sun Zhuangjia coming over with his gang again, thinking to herself that this guy really never learns from his past.
"Xiaoxi, Tang Ming just won so much money from us, won’t you let him buy you a gift?" Sun Zhuangjia spoke, trying to make conversation.
"Of course he should buy one, but that’s between the two of us," Su Xiaoxi replied sternly.
"Sun Zhuangjia, what are you doing here again, do you want to play cards again?"
His face immediately turned sour as he answered,
"No more games, Tang Ming is on a lucky streak today, none of us are a match for him. But I heard there is a bowling alley downstairs. I wanted to ask if you guys are interested in playing together? It’s pretty boring at this reception anyway."
"Bowling?" Su Xiaoxi immediately shook her head: "I don’t know how to play."
Sun Zhuangjia turned to Tang Ming and asked, "Tang Ming, do you know how to bowl?"
"Is bowling with balls?" Tang Ming asked curiously.
"Of course, it’s round and a bit heavy."
Ma Zhisong laughed mockingly.
"Then I guess I know how, playing with balls is my forte," Tang Ming said confidently.
Su Xiaoxi sensed something was off and cautioned him,
"Tang Ming, are you sure you know how to bowl?"
"Sure, I’m not boasting, but I was first or second place in shot putting at school."
Tang Ming blinked.
Su Xiaoxi immediately understood, Tang Ming was confident. Remembering the scene where he won money playing cards earlier, she guessed that anything Tang Ming dared to do was almost a sure bet.
With that thought, Su Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Since Tang Ming knows how to play, let’s go check it out."
Sun Zhuangjia and his group smirked coldly, Qin Kong almost burst out laughing. Bowling and shot putting aren’t the same! They all privately ridiculed Tang Ming as a country bumpkin who had never seen the world!
The group left the banquet hall and headed to the bowling alley downstairs.
Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli were being entangled by a few young rich heirs and couldn’t get away to find Tang Ming for a while.
Though Liu Gaoze saw this, he didn’t say anything. After all, although Tang Ming was a bodyguard, he was quite special and couldn’t be treated as a regular one.
The group soon arrived at the leisure area downstairs, where a spacious bowling alley appeared in front of everyone.
On the court, several potbellied men were chatting and playing casually, and Sun Zhuangjia and his friends found a lane on the side to play.
This bowling alley had eight lanes in total, almost twenty meters long each, and since there weren’t many people playing, the whole place was quite quiet.
Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi first took a seat on a chair, while Sun Zhuangjia led his friends to a lane on the side.
"I rarely play bowling, and I’m not very good at it, but since these guys brought you here, they definitely don’t have good intentions. Be careful later!"
Su Xiaoxi whispered with a cautionary note.
Tang Ming shrugged indifferently,
"It’s only when they have bad intentions that I can win money!"
"I don’t think it will be that simple. They’ve come prepared this time and won’t let you win easily."
Su Xiaoxi shook her head and said.
