Chapter 55 - 55 55 Hiring a Hitman

55: Chapter 55: Hiring a Hitman 55: Chapter 55: Hiring a Hitman As soon as Beiming Xue called that boy “Brother Wang Yan,” the tall dark one and the pale-faced one were stunned.

They both stood up immediately, staring at Xiahou Que in shock, exclaiming, “Mr.

Xiahou, Beiming actually calls that guy so intimately?”

Xiahou Que’s face had already turned a shade of green at this point.

The one sitting with Beiming Xue, Xiahou Que naturally recognized; it was Wang Yan, whom he had met twice before at the Beiming Family house.

Back when they were at the Beiming Family, although Beiming Xue and Wang Yan were very close, Xiahou Que didn’t care at all.

Xiahou Que thought Beiming Xue was doing it just to provoke him.

Later, Xiahou Que visited the Beiming Family a few times but never saw Beiming Xue, and Elder Beiming remained lukewarm towards him.

But Xiahou Que never linked these events to Wang Yan; he simply regarded Wang Yan as an outsider who had just appeared.

Since he and Beiming Xue had grown up together and were childhood betrotheds, eventually, even if Beiming Xue didn’t want to, she would have to marry him.

Besides Beiming Xue’s extraordinary beauty, Xiahou Que was more interested in the Beiming Family’s immense wealth.

Thus, even if Beiming Xue didn’t like him, as long as she married him, Xiahou Que would be satisfied.

But today, seeing Beiming Xue so close to Wang Yan, Xiahou Que was completely infuriated.

If this were anywhere else, Xiahou Que might endure it, but this was at Wanghai Noble Academy, where everyone knew that Beiming Xue, one of the four beauties, was his woman.

Now his woman was being so intimate with another man, the metaphorical hat on his head felt extremely green.

Thinking of this, a surge of anger rushed to his head, and Xiahou Que stood up abruptly.

Seeing Xiahou Que’s anger, the tall skinny guy immediately yelled out, “Mr.

Xiahou, let’s deal with him.

A freshman dares to be so brazen.”

The pale-faced guy also said, “That’s right, I don’t think he knows about Mr.

Xiahou, otherwise he wouldn’t dare.”

“Let’s go, deal with this guy.”

“I can’t swallow this humiliation.”

Xiahou Que was notoriously crafty and timid; had he not been overwhelmed by anger, he wouldn’t have stood up.

But as soon as he stood, Xiahou Que recalled Wang Yan’s fearsome side, remembering how Lone Wolf had been defeated by Wang Yan.

Therefore, Xiahou Que hesitated once again.

However, urged on continuously by the tall dark one and the pale-faced one, Xiahou Que, feeling helpless, had to leave the table and head toward Wang Yan and Beiming Xue’s table.

As he walked, Xiahou Que’s heart was a drumbeat of anxiety.

During his time at the Beiming Family, he had seen with his own eyes Lone Wolf getting struck down by Wang Yan.

In Xiahou Que’s eyes, Lone Wolf was a top expert; if someone like that couldn’t beat Wang Yan, how could he gain any advantage?

But now he couldn’t avoid making an appearance, or else he would be left with a green hat on his head, and faced unbearable shame later at Wanghai Noble Academy.

In this contradictory state of mind, Xiahou Que slowly walked forward, his eyes scanning around, his mind racing for a solution.

Just then, Xiahou Que’s eyes lit up as he suddenly saw a table where five people were sitting.

These five people were all large and round, and on their wrists, there was a vaguely visible snake-shaped tattoo.

“Cyan Snake Gang!” Xiahou Que’s eyes brightened, and he had an idea.

Then, Xiahou Que changed direction and walked toward this table.

The tall dark one and the pale-faced one quickly pulled Xiahou Que, saying fearfully, “Mr.

Xiahou, that’s Mr.

Hua of the Cyan Snake Gang and his Four Great Vajra.”

Xiahou Que said, “I know; he’s a senior from our fourth year.”

The tall skinny guy swallowed hard, saying, “I heard they officially joined the Cyan Snake Gang and even got the Cyan Snake Gang’s tattoo.

They’re tougher than your typical thugs.”

The pale-faced guy also advised, “That’s right, encountering them means asking for trouble.

You’ll definitely lose a lot.

Better not go over.”

Xiahou Que raised a hand, shrugged off the two, and walked directly to the table.

The tall dark one and the pale-faced one were too scared to step forward, only watching Xiahou Que from afar.

Xiahou Que approached the table, grinning obsequiously, “Brothers, may I sit down?”

The five burly men glanced at Xiahou Que briefly, one of them said, “Isn’t this Mr.

Xiahou?

Hah, daring to come find us on his own today, it really is like the sun rising in the west.”

Another chimed in coldly, “Mr.

Xiahou is known for being stingy and timid; coming to seek us for help today must mean something’s up.”

Mr.

Hua, sitting in the middle of the five, continued to eat the steak in front of him, as though he hadn’t seen Xiahou Que at all.

Xiahou Que awkwardly chuckled a couple of times, saying, “You brothers have sharp eyesight; I truly have something to ask today.”

Hearing this, one of the burly men sneered, saying, “Sucking up without cause means you’re either treacherous or a thief.

Speak up, what’s the matter?”

Xiahou Que pointed towards Wang Yan from afar, saying, “You brothers are reasonable; you see that kid, he’s hitting on my fiancée.

How can I swallow this?

So, I ask you brothers to stand with me.”

One of the burly men glanced at Wang Yan, saying, “Just a freshman; Xiahou Que, are you too scared to handle it yourself?

Needing us to deal with a lover’s spat, you really are spineless.”

Although Xiahou Que was scolded, he didn’t dare to retort; instead, he grinned and said, “Of course, I won’t let you brothers act for free; I’ll offer you brothers five thousand yuan as a fee.”

With that, Xiahou Que took five thousand yuan out of his pocket and placed it on the table, sliding it towards Mr.

Hua, who was still eating steak.

Just as the five thousand yuan slid to Mr.

Hua’s side, he snorted coldly, lifted the fork in his hand, and thrust it down, piercing through the stack of bills.

With a “clang,” the fork went through the money, nailing the stack to the table, and the fork handle kept trembling slightly.

Moreover, the fork went precisely between Xiahou Que’s middle and index fingers; if it had deviated by just a centimeter, it would have pierced his fingers.

Xiahou Que was startled and quickly withdrew his hand, seeing the five thousand yuan firmly nailed to the table.

Mr.

Hua lifted his hand, pulled out the fork, continued spearing the steak and eating, not even glancing at the five thousand yuan, coldly saying, “Ten thousand each time.”

“What?

Ten thousand?

That’s too much.” Xiahou Que was immediately shocked.

Although he was a young lord of the Xiahou Family, his spending money was limited; ten thousand each time was too much.

“Twenty thousand!” Mr.

Hua said while chewing the steak.

“What?

It’s gone up to twenty thousand?” Xiahou Que’s eyes widened in fear.

“Thirty thousand!” Mr.

Hua’s tone grew colder, with a hint of menace.

Xiahou Que quickly covered his mouth, not daring to speak further.

Even though it pained him, he knew he was now stuck on a pirate ship; it was hard to get off.

If he left now, Mr.

Hua surely wouldn’t spare him; he might end up losing even more.

Trembling, Xiahou Que pulled out a card from his pocket, saying, “There’s money in this card; I’ll go withdraw it in a bit.”

At that moment, Mr.

Hua stood up, snatched the card, stuffed it into his pocket, saying, “Alright, the extra will cover next time.”

Xiahou Que quickly said, “But there’s over fifty thousand in there…”

Mr.

Hua almost didn’t listen at all, wiped the grease from his mouth, saying, “Let’s go, get to work, break that kid’s legs, then we still have classes this afternoon.”

The four burly men immediately stood up, following behind Mr.

Hua, swaggering towards Wang Yan.
