Chapter 648: Chapter 675 Getting Closer (Part 1)
In the corner where Lin Xi was seated, on his right was Shangguan Hong, and on his left was a chubby young man.
The aura of this person was quite some distance away from that of a special operations soldier.
One could say he was among the weakest present in terms of ability.
Moreover, his skin was very soft, and he was chubby; standing at 1.7 meters tall, he was about 200 pounds, with a body mass index clearly over 28, definitely in the obese category.
From the moment Lin Xi sat down, he gave Lin Xi a simple greeting and then said nothing more, sitting there casually, nonchalantly listening to the introduction on stage.
While guessing about the stone, he also raised his hand.
"Hey bro, you’re Lin Xi, right?" At this moment, he suddenly turned his head to ask Lin Xi.
Lin Xi, who was watching Shangguan Nishang on the stage, of course, had already turned off his X-ray vision. He wasn’t that perverted!!!
Well, if he got the chance, he’d want to take a direct look.
As a person, one should be open and above board, fearless of worldly opinions!
"You know me?" Lin Xi’s brain veered off track a bit, and only then did he glance at the chubby guy beside him.
From the way he greeted him when they just sat down, it appeared they weren’t acquaintances.
So how could he know his name now?
This was a bit peculiar!
Shangguan Hong also looked over curiously; did this person know his brother-in-law?
Seeing their confusion, the chubby guy chuckled; moments ago, his calm demeanor suddenly transitioned to a somewhat sleazy look.
This made Lin Xi shift away a bit, thinking this guy might not be gay, is he!
The chubby guy clearly understood Lin Xi’s sentiment and was a bit speechless, hurriedly explaining, "Bro, don’t get me wrong. I just smile this way. I’m a bona fide stud, who can go ten times a night!"
"Yeah, a real man, with no interest in the same sex!"
Lin Xi and Shangguan Hong both looked at him skeptically and asked, "Really?"
"Really!" The chubby guy nodded emphatically and explained, "If you don’t believe me, just ask around in the capital, who doesn’t know the name Zhao Ri Tian, it’s said to make Beijing tremble."
Lin Xi, "...."
Shangguan Hong, unimpressed, said, "Don’t brag so outrageously, I think you’re just a bottom; your reputation as one must be well-known all across the capital!"
The chubby guy’s face dropped instantly, pointing a trembling finger at Shangguan Hong, "Kid, don’t talk nonsense, or I’ll spank your little butt until it flowers!"
"Besides, if you really don’t believe me, I can take you to a club and show you!"
You should know, anyone daring to say such a thing about him in the capital wouldn’t last a minute without getting beaten up!
Lin Xi glared at him to signal staying mindful, but he didn’t sense any malice from him; otherwise, whoever he might be, if he dared to touch his little brother-in-law, Lin Xi would beat the crap out of him in no time.
The chubby guy’s expression changed a little; since hearing Lin Xi’s name earlier, he incidentally sourced some information about him from his mind.
Shangguan Hong chuckled, "If you dare to hit me, my brother-in-law will beat the crap out of you!"
Startled by this, the chubby guy took a deep breath.
"Forget it, forget it, as an elder, I won’t stoop to a kid’s level!" It wasn’t that he feared Lin Xi, but rather his status wouldn’t even consider Chuzhou City’s so-called underground forces.
One might even say, except for a few families in Chuzhou City, nothing else made him flinch at all.
However, the things Lin Xi wrote earlier piqued his curiosity enough to avoid offense.
The next moment, he cleared his throat, explaining to Lin Xi, "When you were scribbling on the note earlier, I noticed some clues, and from your pen strokes, I figured out your name!"
Of course, as for the content Lin Xi wrote, he hadn’t paid much attention to it.
Back then, he thought to himself that a young lad wouldn’t have much insight into stone gambling, forgetting that he himself was also a young chubby guy.
Only when the projection came up did he pause for quite a while.
How had he written so much? Moreover, based on the strokes, there was no hesitation, as though he knew exactly what was inside the stone.
As for this sort of identification ability, it actually counted as one of his innate talents.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, not expecting this apparently useless chubby guy to have such a skill!
At the same time, by the look of him, it wasn’t merely as simple as discerning his name!
"What’s your name?" At this point, Lin Xi asked with some curiosity; this chubby guy was indeed quite interesting.
