Chapter 397: Chapter 0397: I Want to Kill Him

"Oh, oh, oh, the young master truly has exceptional taste, I’ve never even heard of this brand before."

One of the bodyguards nodded repeatedly, but the next moment, he suddenly became suspicious, "Master’s watch, why does it look familiar to me?"

"Familiar? Have you seen this kind of high-end watch before?"

Jack paused briefly, looking uncertainly at the bodyguard.

"I don’t know if it’s high-end, but it seems I have one of these watches."

The bodyguard quickly rolled up his sleeve, revealing a watch identical to the one on Jack’s wrist.

"How is that possible?"

Jack’s face changed dramatically, and he quickly grabbed his subordinate’s watch to compare.

Wenxuan was driving, and she looked at Tang Ming in amazement:

"I had no idea you knew so much about high-end brands, leaving that Jack completely defenseless."

"Just average, third in the nation. I told you, I’m a professional when it comes to being a decoy."

Tang Ming yawned, satisfied, saying, "Today’s meal was truly delightful, wolfing down several hundred thousand in one go, exhilarating indeed."

"It truly was satisfying, Jack chose that pure French restaurant to show off, preying on the fact that others couldn’t understand French. But little did he expect to be duped so badly by you."

Wenxuan also started laughing, remembering how all the other men had mindlessly followed suit in ordering just the same, and thinking of Jack’s green-faced expression made her burst into laughter.

"Those who try to outdo me usually end up hurt—the more they pose, the worse they’re wounded," Tang Ming licked his lips, scornfully thinking:

"I’m constantly battling overseas, mingling with matters no ordinary person could comprehend, yet that second-generation Jack dares to compete with me, biting off more than he can chew."

"By the way, do you really know the King of Cartier?" Wenxuan couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Big sister, Jack is ignorant, but are you ignorant too?" Tang Ming rolled his eyes and explained:

"Cartier is the highest-end company brand in France, not some kingdom."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Wenxuan let out a surprised shout, incredulously exclaiming:

"Then what was that phone call all about?"

Tang Ming cunningly smiled, took out his phone, opened the recording playback feature, and then...

The previous conversation content between the ’King’ and Tang Ming played again.

"I recorded this earlier when you were parking, knowing that Jack would be clueless, and he really fell for it!"

Tang Ming explained proudly.

"Screech!" Wenxuan slammed on the brakes, and the car immediately came to a stop.

Because of the inertia, Tang Ming was almost thrown out, complaining:

"What are you doing, don’t you know sudden braking can kill people?"

After stopping the car, Wenxuan stared intently at Tang Ming and tentatively asked:

"Since the King of Cartier was fake, surely your watch isn’t fake as well?"

"My watch is definitely not fake." Tang Ming rolled his eyes and said with certainty.

"Oh, that’s good." Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, fearful that Tang Ming could be accused of fraud, as that would be over two million at stake.

"I bought that watch for two hundred bucks, and it keeps time perfectly."

Just as the car was about to start up again, Tang Ming said with a distressed expression:

"If it weren’t for your sake, I wouldn’t have sold it to him."

"What?" Another abrupt stop, Li Wenxuan exclaimed:

"Your watch is only worth two hundred yuan?"

"Yeah, so what?" Tang Ming nodded in agreement.

"And you actually sold it to Jack for two million, you, you’re too bold aren’t you?"

Li Wenxuan swallowed hard, knowing that if Jack discovered the truth, Tang Ming would definitely be in big trouble.

"Don’t you know true sentiment is priceless? That watch has been with me for a long time, I’m very attached to it; I even feel like two million is too little," Tang Ming said with a grin, mischievously adding:

"Besides, that Jack was begging me to sell him my watch, if I didn’t sell, wouldn’t that be too disrespectful to him?"

"You, you are too ruthless!" Li Wenxuan gulped with difficulty.

"Hehe, without being a bit ruthless, how could I shatter his foolish infatuation with you?"

Tang Ming smiled proudly, boastfully asking: "How about it, am I not a professional shield?"

"Professional, way too professional, almost killed that annoying ghost, but, I like it."

Li Wenxuan nodded in astonishment, then reached out and demanded: "Half on meeting, you tricked Jack out of two million, you owe me at least one million."

"Why should I? It was earned through hard-earned acting talents. I didn’t ask for a fee, yet you want a cut of the money, no way,"

Tang Ming immediately shouted frugally.

"If you don’t give it to me, I’ll tell Jack that the watch is fake," Li Wenxuan threatened bitterly.

"Then I’ll tell him, I’m not your boyfriend, that too is fake."

Tang Ming counterthreatened without care, thinking disdainfully: "Even if Jack knows he was tricked, what could he possibly do to me?"

"Bastard, I’m going to kill him." At the hotel entrance, Jack’s face was livid as he smashed two watches to pieces, grinding his teeth and roaring:

"That bastard not only scammed me out of hundreds of thousands in meal expenses, but he also fooled me with this cheap brand watch, I must kill him."

After comparison, Jack realized the "Cartier" watch Tang Ming sold him was identical to the cheap brand ones his men wore, which made him realize he had been duped.

"Young master, don’t be angry, what should we do now?" two bodyguards weakly asked.

"You two are high-level martial artists, come with me now to find that bastard. I want him to cough up double the money he tricked me out of,"

Jack shouted murderously. Being scammed out of hundreds of thousands for meal expenses was infuriating enough, let alone being deceived about the watch—it was no longer just about money, but about losing face.

"Alright, I’ll go get the car immediately!"

One of the bodyguards immediately turned to fetch the car.

The other bodyguard, looking at the watches shattered to bits on the ground, weakly asked:

"Young master, I spent two hundred on this watch, how much did you spend?"

"Two hundred?" Upon hearing this, Jack’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he nearly fainted, gnashing his teeth and spitting out three words:

"Two million."

"Sss sss!"

The bodyguard gasped sharply, realizing just how much they had been scammed.

Tang Ming and Li Wenxuan bickered all the way to Li Wenxuan’s place, and although Li Wenxuan failed to get her share of the spoils from Tang Ming in the end, making Jack lose face and scamming him of so much money made Li Wenxuan extremely happy, and the talk of sharing the spoils was merely jest.

Upon arriving downstairs, Li Wenxuan parked the car at the entrance of the complex, hesitating about whether to invite Tang Ming into her home, considering no man had ever been inside.
