Chapter 225: The Game of Catching Thieves
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The current situation was that Yue Xin was watching the show from the side. No.12 was suffering. The criminals in work clothes around him had no idea where to start.
The man on top of No.12 used his very strong arms to hold No.12’s waist firmly, making it impossible for No.12 to break free. It seemed that this muscular man seemed to have the upper hand, and No.12 could not do anything to him. However, Yue Xin felt that No. 12 was different from usual today. No.12 had obviously gone easy on him. There must be something between the two of them, for No.12 to go easy on him.
Yue Xin didn’t ask and just watched quietly from the side. During this period, she could feel a gaze on her. She looked over and realized that it was the man holding No.12. He was pestering No.12 as he sized her up
Yue Xin looked back at him. Unexpectedly, after the man met Yue Xin’s gaze, he shrank into No.12’s arms and was beaten up by No.12 again. Only then did No.12 hit him harder, and the man finally let go in pain.
“E.P., behave yourself.”
Hearing No. 12 call this person’s name, Yue Xin nodded.
No. 12 immediately looked over and asked Yue Xin worriedly, “What’s wrong?”
Yue Xin shook her head. “I’m fine. This is the first time I’ve heard a name with only letters.”
After being shaken off by No.12, E.P. finally accepted the towel handed to him by the staff member beside him and wiped the blood off his face. After wiping it, he stared at Yue Xin and No.12 and wanted to rush over again, but this time, he had only taken a few steps when No.12 discovered him. The two of them played a game of police catching thieves.
Yue Xin observed E.P. and realized that his hands were very agile. Every time he judged where to go and stop No.12, his left hand would move like he was raising it. It was the same every time.
The farce between the two of them lasted until Yi Chengxuan and Denise came in. As soon as Yi Chengxuan appeared, the laughing atmosphere in the hall changed. Not only did E.P. stop, but even the surrounding staff were on guard.
E.P. almost caught No.12 again, but he still chose to give up. Instead, he walked straight to Yi Chengxuan with a smile on his face. “Big Brother, why do you have time to come to my place? I’m just a small character on the first floor now. I can’t help much.”
Hearing this, Yue Xin immediately pricked up her ears.
Yi Chengxuan chuckled, but the smile in his eyes did not reach his eyes. “I’m not here to ask for your help today. I’m just bringing someone over to study.”
“Study?” E.P.’s smile faltered as he asked in disbelief. Building No. 8 was a casino. It was the best place to hide dirt in prison. If you came to such a place, you wouldn’t be able to get out without losing a layer of skin. What could you learn here? How could you suffer by studying?
Yi Chengxuan nodded and pointed at Yue Xin. “She’s Yue Xin. Although she’s from the Newbie Building, you don’t have to show mercy.”
E.P. looked at Yue Xin, then at No.12, who was standing silently behind Yue Xin, and then at Denise. He suddenly smiled. So she was the girl who had been chased out of Building No. 1. She was really stupid!
“Hahaha, good, good. It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered such an interesting thing. I’ll bet with you.” After laughing, E.P. looked at Yue Xin.
“Have you brought enough money? What do you want to bet?”
Yue Xin immediately turned to look at No. 12. “Did we bring enough money?”
No.12 had originally been a little depressed by E.P., but after hearing Yue Xin’s words, he inexplicably felt a little better. He lowered his head and looked at Yue Xin, replying gently and respectfully, “I’ve brought enough. Just focus on your study.”
Yue Xin received an affirmative answer before answering E.P. “I’ve brought enough. What should we play?”
E.P. looked at No.12’s overly respectful attitude and heard Yue Xin’s words. He couldn’t help but click his tongue. “You’re a newbie, right?”
Yue Xin nodded and asked again, “What are we betting on?”
E.P. wasn’t in a hurry to answer. Instead, he took the cigarette from the person beside him and put it in his mouth. He lit it and took a deep puff. He posed and exhaled a ring of smoke. Just as he was about to show Yue Xin his strength, he heard Yi Chengxuan say calmly, “Please put out the cigarette.”
Before E.P.’s brain could react, his body had already instinctively extinguished the cigarette. After realizing what he had done, E.P slapped his lackey beside him. “Why are you handing me a cigarette? Didn’t you see Brother Yi here? Why are you handing me a cigarette!”
The underling who had been slapped for no reason lowered his head aggrievedly.
When Yi Chengxuan saw this, he smiled and nodded. “Forgive me. I’m used to being in Building No. 6. I can’t smell smoke.”
E.P. smiled apologetically. “Not at all.”
However, with this interruption, the momentum that he had been brewing disappeared without a trace. He could only look at Yue Xin gloomily and ask, “Do you know how to play Texas Hold ’em?”
Yue Xin shook her head.. “No, is there anything else?”
