Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Give Me the Money Nicely

Su Yuxuan let out a cry of alarm, but a strange sensation had already begun to take hold beneath, her complexion turning an ashen hue in an instant.

Despite her distress, she dared not show anger, only pleading desperately, "Wu Xia, please don’t do this, I’m scared! Let’s go back upstairs, right now, alright?"

Her anxious demeanor, along with that flash of disgust and revulsion deep within her eyes, did not escape Wu Xia’s notice.

"Sure!" Wu Xia’s lips curved slightly upward as he let go of Su Yuxuan, curious to see what kind of trickery she intended to play.

After freeing herself from Wu Xia’s grasp, Su Yuxuan, like a lamb that had escaped its pen, quickly stepped forward to put some distance between them.

"Wu Xia, I’m feeling a bit hungry. Let’s eat something first before we go upstairs, shall we?"

Without waiting for an answer, Su Yuxuan offered the already poured glass of red wine to Wu Xia, "Look at this wine, it would be such a waste to not drink it, right?"

Wu Xia chuckled coldly, already discerning that the wine had been drugged.

He watched Su Yuxuan with interest, the intensity in his gaze making her feel numb as she quickly raised her glass, "I’ll drink first!"

Without further ado, she downed the wine in one gulp.

The corners of Wu Xia’s mouth lifted as he swirled his wine, noting from Su Yuxuan’s reaction that this was her first time doing something like this; her husband must have been orchestrating it from behind the scenes.

"Su Yuxuan, how deep is your love for your husband that you’re willing to do anything for him?"

"What?"

Su Yuxuan was taken aback by his nonsensical remark, unable to grasp the meaning behind Wu Xia’s words.

Unconcerned, Wu Xia continued, "No matter, since you want to play, I might as well join in on the fun!"

With those words, he drank the contents of his glass in one go.

Anxious as Su Yuxuan was, she didn’t quite hear him clearly, but seeing Wu Xia drink relaxed her somewhat.

"Wu Xia, let’s eat something first, no rush," she said.

Of course, Wu Xia was in no hurry, knowing that Su Yuxuan was waiting for the drug to take effect.

"I’m fasting tonight, pour me another glass, will you? This is good wine!"

"Oh, sure!" Su Yuxuan snapped out of her reverie and quickly refilled Wu Xia’s glass halfway.

After drinking two glasses in succession and feeling nothing, Wu Xia feigned dizziness, rubbing his forehead, "This wine really packs a punch, I feel so dizzy!"

"Wu Xia, are you alright?" Su Yuxuan approached with false concern, having grown bolder, daring now to come close to Wu Xia.

"You might be feeling this way because you drank too quickly. Come on, I’ll help you upstairs to rest, and we can discuss things slowly."

Wu Xia did not respond, shaking his head and pretending to be dazed before feigning unconsciousness.

Seeing Wu Xia like this, Su Yuxuan felt thoroughly relieved.

She didn’t let go of Wu Xia; instead, she reached into his pocket, found the bank card, and walked to the middle partition of the private room, tapping on it, "Husband, he’s passed out!"

The partition opened to reveal four or five individuals seated within.

One of the young men, handsome and suave, swiftly approached, taking Su Yuxuan’s hand and the card, "My dear wife, you’ve suffered!"

"Husband, for you, I don’t mind the hardship!" Su Yuxuan tenderly leaned against the man.

Wu Xia sneered inwardly: Oh, how affectionate you two are. But now that you’re in my hands, I’m afraid I’ll have to break up the happy couple!

Yuan Lang wrapped one arm around Su Yuxuan and waved to the people behind with the other, "Make sure he’s secured; we’ve got money to make."

The burly bodyguards immediately stepped forward, hoisting Wu Xia and heading outside.

A myriad of suspicions clouded Wu Xia’s mind; if they already had the bank card, why were they taking him with them?

Before long, they provided Wu Xia with the answer.

They brought him to an underground gambling den on the second basement floor of the hotel.

"Impressive, using such a method to launder money, no wonder I couldn’t trace it!" Wu Xia was astonished, not expecting Su Yuxuan’s husband to be quite intelligent.

However, when considering a man who is short and infertile, yet still manages to have a woman of demon level loyally follow him, how could he be someone without capabilities?

Since it was still early, there weren’t many people in the casino. After the group arrived, two attendants immediately came to greet them.

"Mr. Yuan, everything has been arranged, this way please!"

Yuan Lang, leading his group, followed the attendant to a private room at the back, which had a counter set up for exchanging chips.

Wu Xia was placed on a stool in front of the counter, right under a camera that could capture him clearly.

Yuan Lang then took out Wu Xia’s card: "Hurry up."

"Yes!"

After taking the card, the staff inside immediately started the transaction, and Su Yuxuan cooperated by entering Wu Xia’s name.

But when everyone was ready to transfer the funds, they were stunned.

"How... how is this possible?"

"Did we take the wrong card?"

"Impossible, I remember this card clearly, it had billions in it, how could it be zero?"

Su Yuxuan’s face turned ashen, frantically searching Wu Xia’s body to see if he had any other cards.

"Stop touching, you’ll rub me raw!"

The chilling sound of Wu Xia’s voice suddenly echoed.

Su Yuxuan was startled, quickly stepping back: "Wu... Wu Xia, how are you awake?"

"I’ve never been asleep!" Wu Xia straightened his clothes and stood up, looking indifferently at Yuan Lang and then at Su Yuxuan.

"If you wanted money, you should’ve just said something. Didn’t I tell you to name your price? You had to make it so complicated?"

Su Yuxuan’s complexion darkened, overcome with panic.

After a moment of shock, Yuan Lang regained his composure and gestured to his subordinates.

"Kid, since you’re awake now, let’s not beat around the bush. Hand over your card and transfer five hundred billion to me, and I can assure you will leave here safe and sound."

"Anyway, that money of yours is of dubious origin. A common man like you carrying so much money is bound to run into trouble sooner or later, better to let me safeguard it for you."

His subordinates had already surrounded Wu Xia, glaring at him fiercely.

"Hmm? Five hundred billion?" Wu Xia showed a look of surprise: "You don’t impress much, but you sure talk big! You really think your wife is lined with gold?"

"You!" Yuan Lang’s face darkened instantly, that was a sore point for him. He glared coldly at Wu Xia: "It seems you won’t see sense until you’re taught a lesson!"

"Attack!"

The subordinates immediately lunged at Wu Xia with their fists, but before they could reach him, they were repelled by a powerful force.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The elbow joints of five men were instantly pierced, and bones mixed with fresh blood burst out from the rear.

"Aargh!"

Cries like those of a pig being slaughtered emanated from their mouths.

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock, unable to comprehend what had just happened; it was beyond their understanding.

Fear flickered through Yuan Lang’s eyes: "An Ancient Martial Artist?"

Wu Xia looked up slightly: "Oh, you know about Ancient Martial Artists? It seems Mr. Yuan is quite well-informed!"

Yuan Lang’s face twitched violently. He had not expected Wu Xia to be so powerful, having thought him to be merely a nouveau riche trying to extort a sum from.

"So you’re an Ancient Martial Artist, what of it?" Yuan Lang’s face darkened: "I am the direct grandson of the Capital City’s General Yuan, if you dare lay a finger on me, you will provoke a war between the Ancient Martial families and the military!"

"Can you afford the consequences?"

"Talking to me about consequences?" Wu Xia’s lips curled up slightly: "You’re about to learn the consequences of offending me!"
