Chapter 987: Not Allowed to Leave Even If You Want To


Ye Xiao said, "We haven't gotten the marriage certificate yet, so you have the same right to pursue her as I do, big brother. I've made such a big sacrifice, why are you still insulting me? Even though you're wealthy, you should be willing to lose gracefully. Besides, we just agreed that if I introduced you to gamble against this beauty, you'd give me another ten thousand when it ended. Now you're getting angry, are you trying to renege on the deal?"

Bai Jia became even more furious upon hearing this and, without a second thought, swung his fist directly at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, reached out to catch Bai Jia's fist, and said, "Your parents really had insight, giving you such a fitting name, 'Squanderer', at birth."

"How dare you make fun of me!" Bai Jia bellowed with anger, "Today I'll give you two choices: first, let me cripple you; second, cough up the money."

Ye Xiao gave a little flick, and Bai Jia's fist was flung away. Looking at the onlookers who were watching, he said, "Everyone, this guy wanted to meet my girlfriend and then tried to domineer her. In the spirit of generosity and righteousness, I helped him out, risking the chance of my girlfriend making me kneel on a keyboard. But it's his own lack of skills, what can I do? Now he's saying I tricked him. I really don't know what to do. Oh, by the way, he promised earlier that if he lost, he'd give my girlfriend a hundred thousand yuan, and now, even though he paid upfront and lost, he wants us to return the money and still wants to hit me."

As Ye Xiao said this, the surrounding people finally understood, and a slew of murmurs erupted.

"Bro, what was your bet?" At this moment, a young man looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "League of Legends, yeah. If someone could beat my girlfriend one-on-one, they could take her away from me. But if they lost, they'd have to pay a little, not much, just a hundred thousand."

Initially, when Ye Xiao mentioned the first half of his sentence, everyone around seemed eager to give it a try.

However, when he finished the sentence, everyone lost interest.

Betting in such a game required putting up a hundred thousand yuan, which really wasn't a small amount.

But whatever the amount, if you wanted to gamble, you should be prepared to lose, especially since the gamble was due to lust.

"Anyone else want to bet?" Ye Xiao smiled as he looked around, and with a smile said, "If anyone else wants to have a go like this squanderer brother, you're welcome to give it a try."

The onlookers, though eager to try, found the stakes too high, a hundred thousand yuan is definitely not a trivial amount for ordinary people.

At this point, Bai Jia was even more displeased. Ye Xiao was using this opportunity to sell his story, wasn't this a loss for Bai Jia, and also giving them free advertising? How could that be right?

"Damn it, give me back the money, or I'll make you regret it." Bai Jia kicked a chair aside, glaring at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao glanced at Bai Jia and advised, "Big brother, I know you're a wastrel, but there's no need to be a scoundrel too."

"Playing dirty with me, huh?" Bai Jia's anger was boiling, but he hesitated to act rashly because Ye Xiao had just caught his fist, indicating that Ye Xiao had some training. For someone like Bai Jia, who lived a pampered life and had others fight for him or hired help, when had he ever thrown a punch himself? So he wasn't really planning to try again. After all, if Ye Xiao caught his fist again, or he got hurt, what then?

Bai Jia pointed at Ye Xiao and exclaimed angrily, "If you're bold enough, wait here for me. If you leave today, you're no better than a coward."

Ye Xiao looked at Bai Jia, and although everyone present expected Ye Xiao to be furious, surprisingly, Ye Xiao didn't even break wind, he just sat down, logged off Bai Jia's account, and rebooted the machine.

Seeing Ye Xiao ignore him completely, Bai Jia's rage reached new heights. Moreover, a number of people were still watching, and Bai Jia, being someone of status at the Navigator Network Club, felt humiliated. If he just left, it would certainly be embarrassing. Bai Jia's attention was drawn to a glass ashtray nearby; without further hesitation, he quickly stepped over, grabbed the ashtray, then dashed back over to Ye Xiao, swinging it towards Ye Xiao's head.

Bai Jia's actions at that moment had everyone present squeezing their palms nervously for Ye Xiao.

Bai Jia's movements were swift, so swift that by the time an average person could react, the ashtray was less than half a meter from Ye Xiao's head.

But at that moment, an arm suddenly reached out and precisely caught the ashtray. The ashtray was now held firmly in place by two hands, frozen mid-air.

The owner of this outstretched arm was clearly Ye Xiao. He stood up slowly from his chair, looked at Bai Jia with a slightly chilled expression, and said as calmly as possible, "Now I give you three options: first, get someone else to come beat me up; second, get lost; third, I'll beat you into an idiot."

Bai Jia was so scared by Ye Xiao's words that he stepped back two steps, staring at Ye Xiao with utter astonishment.

At this moment, Bai Jia really felt the threat, a genuine threat.

Ye Xiao calmly placed the ashtray on the table beside him and continued looking at the computer screen, while Bai Jia was breathing somewhat heavily. He knew he was truly embarrassed, but at this moment, he really didn't dare to stay any longer, so he left the Navigator Network Club amidst everyone's ridicule.

"Sir, I'm sorry!" As Bai Jia left, a humble voice came over.

Ye Xiao looked up at the person speaking. This person was wearing a specially made uniform, displaying the three characters, 'Navigator'. Clearly, he should be a staff member of Navigator.

Ye Xiao immediately said with a smile to this person, "Are you talking about what just happened?"

The person quickly said, "Yes, that person just now is really not a normal person, sir. On behalf of the staff at Navigator, I apologize for the occurrence of such a situation. There's one thing I'd like to ask for your help with."

Ye Xiao was suddenly curious; he didn't know this guy, so what kind of help did he want? However, since the person's attitude was so sincere, Ye Xiao couldn't refuse, and he immediately said with a smile, "What is it? Go ahead."

The person said, "It's like this, that Brother Bai will definitely come back later, and he will bring some people with him. For the safety of the internet café and you, sir, I hope you can come and play another day. Navigator will compensate for all your losses."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao finally understood what was going on.

It seemed that this man must be the foreman of the Navigator Network Club. Bai Jia is a regular at Navigator, and naturally, this foreman knows Bai Jia's nature. Now that Bai Jia left in a fit of anger, he should very soon come back, just as the foreman said. When Bai Jia returns, he will definitely bring a group of people, and by then, there will certainly be a big fight in this internet café. Since there will be a fight, it inevitably will cause losses to the venue.

The computer configurations at this Navigator Network Club are all very high, and the chairs and other hardware equipment are also very luxurious. If a fight breaks out here, it would probably cause a very big loss to the Navigator Network Club. As a foreman of the Navigator Network Club, if this internet café has issues, the boss will definitely blame him, from demotion and salary reduction to being directly fired.

Ye Xiao, although not claiming to be a good person, also doesn't like causing damage to others. Since this foreman was so sincere, Ye Xiao couldn't continue to add trouble for others, so he smiled and said to this foreman, "Okay, but you have to refund my internet fee."

"All losses are on me." The foreman said with a cheerful smile to Ye Xiao, evidently a bit surprised and delighted that Ye Xiao agreed so readily.

Ye Xiao immediately turned his head to look at Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing, and said, "Two lovely ladies, how about we move to another internet café?"

Xia Mingyue didn't speak but was browsing items on Baibao, while Fang Jing's gaze shifted to the foreman and then she said, "Your internet café has problems, and you're asking us to leave? This doesn't seem fair, right? We came to your internet café for entertainment, you should ensure our safety, not kick us out. I have a long internet time left, so I don't plan on leaving."

The foreman heard Fang Jing's words and immediately grimaced, but he didn't know what to say. After all, what Xia Mingyue said really made sense, all of this indeed is Navigator's fault, and it has nothing to do with the customers who are surfing online.

But the foreman knew he couldn't afford to offend Bai Jia, so he once again looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao also had a wry smile; Fang Jing was obviously upset, and since she wouldn't leave, Ye Xiao couldn't leave either.

Ye Xiao smiled and said to the foreman, "If you can convince the lady looking at Baibao, then we can leave."

On hearing Ye Xiao's hint, the foreman immediately nodded, gave Ye Xiao a grateful glance, and then quickly stepped forward to say to Xia Mingyue, "Hello, beautiful, I..."

Before the foreman could finish speaking, Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Are you afraid that you can't beat those people? If you're afraid, you can leave first."

Xia Mingyue spoke very calmly, but everyone present understood very well that Xia Mingyue was essentially telling the foreman that she wouldn't leave.

The foreman suddenly felt a bit helpless and looked at Ye Xiao once more.

Ye Xiao scratched his head, and said, "Can you get me three bottles of Fanta? Looks like we aren't going anywhere."

The foreman heard Ye Xiao's words and truly felt an impulse to fight Ye Xiao, but rationality told him that fetching the Fanta was indeed the best choice right now.
