Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Attention from All Sides (First Update)
The group had just gotten on the elevator to the ground floor when Xu Fei suddenly seemed to remember something. He hurried to Lin Xi’s side and said, "Boss, I don’t think you’ve given them your bank card number."
Shi Bao, Xu Hong, and the others also looked at Lin Xi. They had long had this question but hadn’t voiced it.
"..." Lin Xi was taken aback, a bit embarrassed, as he had only been concerned with maintaining a cool image earlier.
He then coughed a few times, indicating he forgot. After praising Xu Fei, he asked him to go down and give Mo Sha the card number, and at the same time, returned the card he had borrowed from Xu Hong.
Of course, Lin Xi still owed him a million.
After Xu Fei came back up, Lin Xi asked for the bank card numbers of Shi Bao and Xu Hong, saying that everyone had contributed this time, and once Mo Sha sent the money over, he would give each of them five million, and everyone else one million each.
Refusal was not an option; this was what they deserved.
While everyone was excited, they had no choice but to quickly thank Lin Xi, as this sum of money was an extremely generous reward for each of them.
For example, hiring a top special forces soldier as a bodyguard would cost just thirty thousand a month.
Moreover, they all knew they didn’t really do much, or in other words, their presence didn’t really matter. Lin Xi could handle the Celestial Alliance on his own.
Giving them money afterward was entirely due to Lin Xi’s generosity.
Shortly after the three cars left Celestial Joy Mansion, the matter quickly reached the ears of some people.
"We’ll talk after Leopard comes back; you go down first!" After instructing his subordinate to leave, Su Xiong fell silent.
He had just received news that the three members of Celestial Alliance were all severely injured in the past ten minutes, and he didn’t need to be told that it was Lin Xi, Shi Bao, and the others who did it.
But one thing he didn’t expect was that one of his teams had indeed acted, but the person who severely injured the three Celestial Alliance members was only Lin Xi.
Could it be that the Celestial Alliance members were really weak?
Impossible. As far as he knew, the strength of Celestial Alliance’s boss Mo Jian and the second Mo Biao had always been unfathomable. Even he, Su Xiong, was not entirely confident of beating them.
That means he still underestimated Lin Xi’s strength.
In North City, inside a long-established teahouse, there was only an old man in his sixties or seventies wearing a traditional Chinese gown, leisurely drinking tea, and standing beside him were two young men, looking extremely cautious and afraid to breathe too loudly.
At this moment, a middle-aged man came from outside, approached the old man in the Chinese gown, whispered a few words, and then left.
After quite a while, the old man slowly finished the tea in his cup, and the relaxed look on his face gradually turned serious as he muttered to himself,
"One person severely injured those three kids from Celestial Alliance, remarkable, truly remarkable!"
"And with Su Xiong’s men involved, it looks like change is in the air!"
Moments later, he stood up, looking a bit worried, and left the teahouse.
In East City, inside a top suite of a five-star hotel, there were two women; one had a seductive yet cold look, like she wavered between alluring and dismissive.
The other woman was more on the cute side with an above-average appearance.
However, both of them had impeccable figures. Especially the cold-looking woman, with the right proportions, no different from a top model.
"That person’s from Su Xiong? Is Su Xiong getting involved in South City affairs?" asked the cold-looking woman.
"I heard that person has nothing to do with Su Xiong!" said the cute woman.
"Whether he’s connected or not, his people are already involved, so it can’t be unrelated!" the cold-looking woman said,
"Investigate again, then find a place for our three groups to meet; it’s time to talk."
PS: Thanks to "He said I changed" for the 100-point reward, and thanks to "Selling various phones, anyone interested can contact me" for the two rewards, totaling 1198 points. I came back too late today, so the update is late as well, at least there’s still one more Chapter, though it’ll be very late. I suggest everyone read it tomorrow morning.
