“The stakes that you all took out earlier were all fakes?” Shen Yanxiao finally understood what had happened.
Qi Xia suddenly said, “No.”
“What?”
“My land deeds are genuine.”
“…” Shen Yanxiao was speechless. So it turned out that the majority of those rare treasures that shocked everyone there were only imitations. She wondered what the casino boss would feel like if he knew that his casino was conned away by a few replicas.
“You were all acting earlier, and your motive was to swindle this casino.” Shen Yanxiao did not ask that as a question but said it as a statement.
She already felt that something was amiss. However, as a bystander, she did not want to say much and only treated it as a show. She also never expected the props that they had used to look so real.
“Smart!” Tang Nazhi clicked his fingers at her.
So those four bastards were not mortal enemies but a group of close friends!!! Shen Yanxiao covered her face. Were the five great families not fighting in secret? Why did those young masters seem to have a good relationship?
“We have embarrassed ourselves in front of you. However, the show can also be considered as compensation.” Qi Xia smiled and looked at Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao quirked her eyebrows and stretched out her small hands.
“Please exchange my portion into gold coins, thank you.”
“…” The four rich and overbearing young masters instantly turned speechless and looked away.
Qi Xia faked a cough. He was also surprised by Shen Yanxiao’s sudden request. He cleared his throat, smiled, and said, “Of course, we will not recant a debt. However, they do have a debt that they would like to settle with you beforehand.”
Shen Yanxiao did not understand what he meant, but the rest of the young men seemed to comprehend Qi Xia’s words as if a light bulb had lighted above their heads. Even Tang Nazhi gave Shen Yanxiao a weird gaze.
Tang Nazhi looked at Shen Yanxiao in bewilderment and then asked Qi Xia in a strained voice, “Xia, the little thief that you mentioned. The one who stole my sister’s Ocean Blue accessory, please do not tell me it’s Shen Jue!?”
Qi Xia nodded.
Shen Yanxiao felt as if a wave of black clouds had shrouded her surroundings, and an ominous omen rose in her heart.
The reason she dared to sell the items she looted to the Qilin Auction house was that she was convinced that they would not search for the items there. However, as she realized the four young masters’ reactions, along with Tang Nazhi’s question, Shen Yanxiao was a hundred percent sure that bastard, Qi Xia, had sold her out!
“If it was that set I sold you, then that is right, it is him.” Qi Xia did not feel any guilt at that betrayal as his expression was relaxed.
‘Bastard!’ He sold her out and even sold the loot back to the owner. Was that an attempt to push her to her death!?
‘What an unscrupulous businessman! He has no ethics!’
Shen Yanxiao felt as if Qi Xia had tricked her.
Yang Xi suddenly walked to Shen Yanxiao’s side. As he looked at the young lad whose height was only to his chest, he lowered himself slightly and made eye contact with him.
“Did you scrap the gems and gold ornaments off my jade sword?”
“…” Shen Yanxiao vaguely remembered that she perhaps might have… done such a thing.
“And my mother’s white jade chess.” Yan Yu continued.
“…” Shen Yanxiao’s expression darkened. It seemed like all of her debtors had gathered together that day!!
Should she run? How would she escape? Should she sprint?
Shen Yanxiao decided that the situation was not in her favor, and thus she turned with the intentions to escape.
However, just as she turned to make her escape, someone’s claws grabbed onto her shoulder.
“Hold your horses.” Qi Xia’s face revealed a fox-like sly smile.
