Chapter 663: Chapter 0663: The Smart People Play

"Cough cough, let me get the box."

Xin Badao very considerately carried the box out and loaded it onto the car.

"Ladies, do we still want to play the escape room game now?"

Tang Ming glared fiercely at the Mysterious Snow Spirit in Li Xiaoli’s arms and asked with a sigh.

Liu Mengting and the other two women exchanged glances. Having encountered XiaoBaiBai, their enthusiasm for the game had waned, but since they had already purchased tickets, they couldn’t just waste them.

"Let’s play. We’ll go to the entrance and wait. Once the next group is assembled, we’ll enter the game together and then head home afterward."

After a quick discussion among themselves, Liu Mengting made the declaration, then took Li Xiaoli and Xia Wei’er to find a place to bond with XiaoBaiBai.

"The days sure pass in interesting ways; just stepping out the door and picking up a treasure worth over a hundred million."

Tang Ming curled his lips, glanced at the door, thinking if there were more provocateurs like Zhen Xiaosa, he could have struck it rich.

In the instant Tang Ming looked towards the door, Zhen Xiaosa, hiding there, quickly withdrew his head and hurried off into the distance.

"Young Master, how did it go?"

The two bodyguards waiting in the parking lot quickly came up to Zhen Xiaosa and asked as he approached.

"Sigh, it’s all over, the goods are already in the hands of Tang Ming and the others; it seems impossible to get it back now."

Zhen Xiaosa sighed helplessly. He saw how much the three women cared for the little creature, and even Tang Ming couldn’t get it, much less him.

"So what do we do now? The Family sent us here to deliver the goods, and now that they’re gone, how do we explain to both the client and the Family?"

The two bodyguards looked at each other, both martial masters, had come to Songlan City with Zhen Xiaosa specifically to deliver the goods, not expecting to lose them despite their capabilities.

"There’s no other way now, we can only go back. With our capabilities, we simply can’t take back the item from Tang Ming. We’ll report the truth once we’re back and see how the Family decides to deal with it."

Zhen Xiaosa shook his head resignedly. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have provoked Liu Mengting and the others. He had thought with their capabilities, they could do as they pleased in Songlan City, but just showing off had led to such a mess—truly a dog’s day.

One bodyguard immediately started the car, while the other, opening the door, hesitantly asked, "Are we just going back like this, shouldn’t we inform the client not to come for the inspection?"

"What’s there to inform about when the goods are gone?"

Zhen Xiaosa shot an annoyed look at the bodyguard, "First, let’s go back. Pretend we didn’t receive the inspection notice. We’ll see what the Family decides before contacting the client, so they can’t accuse us of being unreliable."

"Alright." The corner of the bodyguard’s mouth twitched, wasn’t standing someone up directly even more unreliable?

Liu Mengting and the two other women were having a ball playing with XiaoBaiBai, while Tang Ming and Xin Badao sat bored on the lobby sofas, drinking complimentary beverages and killing time.

Xin Badao was here because, before heading out, Tang Ming, worried he couldn’t look after three girls by himself, asked Xin Badao to rush to a specified location ahead of time. He hadn’t expected to actually need him.

"Eh, what’s he doing here?"

While Tang Ming was drinking, he suddenly saw someone he recognized entering the lobby.

"Young Master, it’s that annoying guy."

Xiao Wen, who followed Mo Hongsheng into the lobby, noticed Tang Ming immediately and quickly nudged Mo Hongsheng’s arm.

Mo Hongsheng looked at Tang Ming quizzically, then after scanning the lobby and not finding his target, he walked over to Tang Ming.

"Hehe, the exam is tomorrow, yet here you are, playing games. Seems like you’re well prepared," said Mo Hongsheng as he sat opposite Tang Ming, smiling at him.

"Just average, I should have no problem beating you," Tang Ming yawned, propped up his legs, and responded nonchalantly.

"Tang Ming, you’re being extremely rude,"

Xiao Wen glared at Tang Ming, indignant. "Our young master is trying to have a polite conversation with you, what kind of attitude is that?"

"I’m not acquainted with your young master, am I? He’s the one who approached me, so I don’t necessarily have to greet him with a smile."

Tang Ming gave Xiao Wen a dismissive glance and looked at Mo Hongsheng nonchalantly, "As for your question, I find it pretty boring. Aren’t you the same, not staying at home to review properly? Everyone is here to have fun. Could it possibly be for a date?"

"You... "

Xiao Wen was so angry he couldn’t speak, but Mo Hongsheng stopped him.

"True to form, Tang Ming. Always unpredictable, low-key yet arrogant. It’s really unexpected."

Mo Hongsheng watched Tang Ming with a smile, seemingly unperturbed. From the intelligence gathered and analyzed, he had some grip on Tang Ming’s personality.

"You seem very interested in me, but let me warn you, I’m not into men, so you might as well give up on that idea."

Knowing that Mo Hongsheng was investigating him, Tang Ming warned irritably.

"Looks like we do have something in common, at least I’m not into men either."

Mo Hongsheng smiled, glanced at his watch, and subtly furrowed his brows, time had passed, so why hadn’t the contact person arrived yet?

"Tang Ming, did you come here to play the escape room game?"

Xiao Wen rolled his eyes uncertainly and asked.

"What else? To dine?" Tang Ming shrugged, tacitly admitting it.

"Heh, escape rooms are games for clever people, aren’t you afraid of getting stuck and making a fool of yourself?"

Xiao Wen let out a cold laugh, looking down on Tang Ming with disdain.

"How unfortunate, I happen to be the clever person you’re talking about!"

Tang Ming let out a breath, "Mo Hongsheng, do you like to play these kinds of games too?"

"I’m just here to look around, I had no plans..."

Mo Hongsheng shook his head, as he was there for business, not related to games.

"Young master."

Xiao Wen quickly interrupted and pulled Mo Hongsheng aside.

"What’s up?"

Mo Hongsheng looked at Xiao Wen puzzled, reminding him with annoyance, "We’re here on business, don’t always pick fights with Tang Ming, it’s pointless."

"Who asked that guy to be so annoying."

Xiao Wen shot Tang Ming an annoyed glance and whispered, "The person hasn’t arrived yet anyway, so why don’t we play with Tang Ming for a bit?"

"Play what?"

Mo Hongsheng frowned slightly.

"Of course, I mean the escape room game! With your intelligence and wit, young master, it should be no problem to solve such a room. Plus, our purpose here is to verify goods, and we could use that item to cheat and suppress Tang Ming’s arrogant qi flame."

Xiao Wen suggestively encouraged, his eyes shining.

"Engaging in such meaningless activities is simply a waste of time."

Mo Hongsheng shook his head, uninterested.
