<h4>Chapter 1258: Chapter 1271</h4>


    Lin Dong sat there sulkily, letting out a muffled sound, looking quite aggrieved.


    Long Ang saw it all, sighed lightly, and thought to himself, even though Lin Dong’s martial arts had improved a lot, he couldn’t possibly hit a woman.


    He sighed, stepped up, patted Lin Dong on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, I feel for you, just for a few seconds."


    "Only a few seconds?"


    "But I believe that one day Ming Chong will definitely think differently of you."


    Lin Dong nced up at him, opened his lips as if to say something, but suddenly didn’t want to say anything.


    He sighed deeply and then sat there, beginning to heal himself.


    Long Ang also felt helpless, but he couldn’t meddle in these matters and could only let Lin Dong endure it silently on his own.


    He started to get busy with his own affairs, while Lin Dong sat there idly, feeling a bit discontent inside.


    He really shouldn’t have volunteered to be the first to protect Ming Chong, but even if he hadn’t been the first, his turn woulde sooner orter.


    He really didn’t know what those Japanese wanted! What use could they have for controlling Ming Chong?


    Yet he remained heartbroken, while silently praying, hoping that Ming Chong would indeed be fine.


    The more Lin Dong thought, the more restless he felt. He rubbed his hair vigorously, feeling truly tormented.


    As Lin Dong’s thoughts wandered, a group of people entered from the doorway.


    The clothes they wore were not ordinary; it was clear they were foreigners at first nce.


    Specifically, the long sword they held was different from the long swords used in the Central ins.


    Their long sword was more like a Japanese long sword.


    As soon as these people came in, they started ncing around, and after a few of them looked around, they started heading down the hallways on either side, while others went to the front desk and two more approached an empty table and sat down.


    When they stepped in, Lin Dong immediately noticed them and became alert upon seeing their attire.


    He nced sideways at Long Ang and gave a quick reminder.


    Long Ang nodded subtly and signaled with his eyes for him to go to Ming Chong’s room. Lin Dong nodded, said nothing, then slowly stood up from the table, ready to head toward Ming Chong’s room.


    To avoid drawing attention, Long Ang busied himself while keeping an eye on the two sitting at the front desk, noticing their expressionless, even somewhat sinister faces, lips tightly pressed as if harboring some deep hatred.


    By that time, a waiter had already approached them.


    As Lin Dong slipped through the hallway, he quickly made his way to Ming Chong’s room. Fortunately, they didn’t know that Ming Chong’s room was on the first floor; the two people had gone upstairs.


    Meanwhile, within the Gambling Stone Field.


    Today was the day to meet Wei Xiang at the Gambling Stone Field. Previously, Wei Xiang had lost a hotel to him, feeling unbnced and consistently causing him trouble, even sending trivial matters his way at the hotel to target him.


    But these things didn’t matter to Chu Ge; what he truly wanted was the ten percent share of the Wei Family that Wei Xiang held.


    This was also their wager for today’s gambling, and if he lost, he would return the hotel, but if he won, Wei Xiang would give him the ten percent share of the Wei Family.


    The Wei Family ranked at the top among the powerful families in the Capital City, so ten percent of their shares was undoubtedly a significant fortune, enough for him to establish a foothold and earn more money in thisnd teeming with the elite.


    Chu Ge calcted carefully in his mind, yet his face remained sternly concerned. After all, his path of cultivation was like a bottomless pit, and he didn’t know how long the value of that ten percent share would sustain his cultivation.


    As Nangong Man Sha, who had apanied him to the Gambling Stone Field, lightly frowned at this man, who had worn a worried look since getting in the car, could it be that staying with her was that unbearable?


    She even began to doubt whether her charm had diminished.


    She straightened her proud chest and moved closer to Chu Ge: "What are you worried about? Are you afraid you might lose the hotel?"


    A breeze of fragrance swept over Chu Ge. His gaze innocently swept over Nangong Man Sha’s heaving bosom, and he sighed, "Yes, if I lose the hotel, how will I support you?"


    Nangong Man Sha’s face blushed. Who needed him to support them anyway! Shameless!


    The two walked in together, and those like Wei Xiang, waiting early at the Gambling Stone Field, naturally saw the ’flirting banter’ between them at the entrance. Inwardly, he cursed, "Damn Chu Ge, today I’ll make him lose so much he won’t even have pants to wear!"


    With his brother and a group of bodyguards, he stepped forward, "Chu Ge, I didn’t expect you to reallye."


    Chu Ge was speechless. Why wouldn’t hee? Wei Xiang seemed eager to hand him the shares; how could he not?


    He smiled, "At any rate, it’s ten percent of the Wei Family shares, though it’s a bit scarce, no matter how small a bite from a mosquito is still meat, right?"


    Wei Xiang hadn’t expected Chu Ge to be so shameless. The game hadn’t started yet, and he was already assuming he’d win?


    Last time, he lost a hotel to Wei Xiang, and they’dughed at him for a long time. But this time, he came fully prepared; he didn’t believe someone like Chu Ge could have the deep knowledge required to win at gambling stone!


    Wei Xiang nced at the time and asked Wei Yu, "Hasn’t Master Zhao arrived yet?"


    Wei Yu whispered in Wei Xiang’s ear, "Brother, you know how terrible traffic is in the Capital City; Master Zhao’s still stuck in it and will probably need another half an hour to arrive."


    Wei Xiang frowned slightly at the news. He nced at Chu Ge, deciding to let him be cocky for half an hour. After that, he would reim everything that was rightfully his and sink him into a pit, to let him know Nangong Man Sha wasn’t someone a country bumpkin like him deserved!


    With a possessive nce at Nangong Man Sha, Wei Xiang finally gave Chu Ge a malicious look: "The gambling will start in half an hour, so treasure yourst moments as hotel owner!"


    Chu Ge sighed faintly when he heard this: "What, still have to waste half an hour of mine? Ah, just for ten percent of the shares, this is really a losing deal!"


    "You!" Wei Yu couldn’t hold it in and pointed at Chu Ge ready to explode.


    Wei Xiang held him back, sneering, "You’re just being stubborn now!"


    Chu Ge shrugged, turning to Nangong Man Sha, "Little Sha’er, walk with me, at least with you apanying me, half an hour feels worth it."


    Since Nangong Man Sha was his girlfriend, even if it was fake, she couldn’t let him down. Despite this, she almost got choked by him calling her Little Sha’er just now.


    But in front of Wei Xiang, she held it in, yfully threw him a nce, and followed up, "I haven’t been here much either, Chu, you better show me around properly."
