Chapter 1202: 1288: Third Wheel

Chapter 1202: Chapter 1288: Third WheelAfter entering Dynasty International, Su Xuan immediately felt that itchy sensation disappear. He knew he had temporarily evaded their surveillance. Bringing Tang Zixuan into the hotel, Su Xuan quickly scanned the surrounding illusion. There was no sign of their people in the hotel. Su Xuan chose a private room and led Tang Zixuan inside.

“Big star, wait here a moment. I need to use the restroom!”

With those words, Su Xuan left the private room and quickly entered an adjacent one, confident that the group tailing him would come in. The room next door was actually the best spot for surveillance. Su Xuan chose this spot deliberately to trap them.

“So you want to play cat-and-mouse with me, huh? I’ll show you who is the mouse and who’s the cat.”

As a former elite soldier, Su Xuan could quickly discern the enemy’s intentions and what they were up to. This group tailing him was clearly not the police. This area was under Director Wu’s jurisdiction, and he was so slick that he wished the police would avoid him, so it’s unlikely they were police.

Since they weren’t police, those capable of dealing with him were either Qin Zhongshu or Hengtai Group. Su Xuan had a feeling this opponent was rather arrogant, even wanting to toy with him. Su Xuan sneered, thinking to himself, “When I play dirty, you have no idea where you are.”

Su Xuan’s face showed a sinister smile, then he placed a phone at the main spot, took out a small bottle of perfume from his pocket, and sprayed it around. Feeling unsatisfied, he then took out a glue stick and smeared it on the seat’s stool. Having done all this, he left satisfied and returned to the adjoining private room, thinking to himself, “You want to trap me? Today, I’ll trap you instead.”

The phone Su Xuan just placed was one he’d snatched. On the way, Lu Li had almost collided with a reckless driver. That driver had flamboyant hair, and with Su Xuan’s keen observation, he could easily tell that guy was the arrogant type. Such a person is best described as cocky but frankly as brainless, having no concept of fear. People like this normally have a group of equally brainless followers, so Su Xuan grabbed his phone, cracked its password, and donated the money inside to the Red Cross.

Su Xuan firmly believed that once found out, this guy would fight tooth and nail with him. So Su Xuan was redirecting trouble — since someone wanted to play cat-and-mouse, he’d use them to kill by proxy.

Su Xuan was certain that things would get lively in the next room soon.

The perfume sprayed in the air was a type of sedative. It wouldn’t make people pass out completely but would make them feel weak all over. Since the ones tracking him were presumably no ordinary people, Su Xuan wouldn’t end up like those punks getting beaten up, which would be far too dull.

Lu Li’s application of glue to the main chair position was intended for the Boss. If this glue stuck, it could peel off skin, and Su Xuan had specially prepared this to deal with him.

When Su Xuan returned to the adjacent private room, he found not just one person but two sitting next to Tang Zixuan. If he hadn’t sensed they weren’t those assassins, Su Xuan might have thought they were from the same group.

Su Xuan chuckled and asked.

“Big star, your friends?”

He casually sat down and pulled out a seven-yuan packet of cigarettes, glancing at the two men with a look implying whether they’d like one.

“Thanks, I don’t smoke!” The two men spoke politely, but Su Xuan could sense a touch of disdain towards him, likely not thinking much of him.

Su Xuan didn’t bother with them. He wasn’t on a date but there for business. He put a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and took a puff, then spoke.

“Big star, want to eat something?”

Su Xuan didn’t expect the presence of two third wheels. Even though he wasn’t there to flirt with Tang Zixuan, the sudden addition of two people felt a bit awkward.

“Anything’s fine, you order!”

Tang Zixuan seemed a bit unhappy. In fact, he was more than unhappy. Today was supposed to be a wonderful day to chat and talk with Su Xuan, and he really felt great. But then his brother brought You Tazi, one of the Four Young Masters of Beijing, which really upset him.

It turns out that one of the men was Tang Zixuan’s brother, Tang Haoming. Tang Haoming could be considered a minor star, but compared to Tang Zixuan, who was internationally famous, he was nothing. Tang Haoming was more like a low-tier actor who could only appear in web dramas and still be the sidekick.

Though Tang Zixuan intended to elevate his brother, Tang Haoming wasn’t cut out for it. He would try to grope women on set, ending up beaten and embarrassingly so for Tang Zixuan.

Recently, for whatever reason, he’d been getting close with You Tazi, one of the Four Young Masters of Beijing, heating things up. You Tazi even invested to let him make a martial arts epic, which, upon viewing, Tang Zixuan thought was dreadful.

When Su Xuan went out earlier, Tang Zixuan took off his sunglasses and hat, then pulled out a mirror to touch up his makeup and eagerly awaited Su Xuan’s return, only to find his brother and You Tazi entering instead. Honestly, if it were anyone else, he’d have asked them to get lost. But the problem was one was his brother and one was one of the Four Young Masters. Although he was extremely popular, he couldn’t openly offend one of the Four Young Masters.

Recently, the film company that launched Tang Zixuan was planning to shoot a Fantasy Martial Arts TV series requiring large investment to be the number one in the country, seeking investors everywhere. Strangely, You Tazi became the largest investor. So, in a way, he was her boss now.

As the boss, he couldn’t just be kicked out, turning today’s lovely date into an awkward situation. Of course, if he knew Su Xuan was there for business, who knows what he might feel.

“Kid, letting my sister order, have you brought enough money? Being unable to pay would be embarrassing!”
