Chapter 90 - Refuse A Toast, Only To Drink A Forfeit
With a small click on the tab, 'Hidden Secret', Lee Tao was instantly dumbfounded by the large list.
"Holy moly, what a Zuo Xiaoli we have," Lee Tao laughed as he glanced at the crimes she did and what type of immoral stuff she had done in the past.
"Selling unpurified pill to customers"
"Extorting multiple people to fund her alchemy experiment"
"Wow, she even forced her husband to perform an acrobatic act for others"
Lee Tao almost face-palmed as he wanted to vomit upon imagining Lin Cai wearing some woman's clothes and performing acrobatics.
However, the one thing that made Lee Tao surprised was the fact that she was once sold by her parents to perform sexual intercourse with another man.
Luckily, she had managed to escape in the end but was traumatized ever since then.
"Xiao Chu… you have really done a great job tonight," Lee Tao complimented her for the good work.
This kind of information was enough to ruin a person's life once exposed to others.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chu shook her head as she hovered toward Lee Tao.
"What you just saw is not the most shocking factor, Lee Tao." Xiao Chu said as she scrolled the list more down.
"This is what you like and probably the most delicious part of this scanning."
Lee Tao nearly had his eyeball popped out as he glanced at the data.
"Is this really fucking true?" Lee Tao asked in disbelief.
"Every scan had gone through meticulous work and was re-confirmed multiple times. In addition, they are updated in real-time, so this is the best information that not even an information agency can beat."
Lee Tao swallowed his saliva as he grinned wickedly.
"Then this has got to be the most interesting part…" Lee Tao mumbled as he closed the projection screen.
Sometime later, Lee Tao glanced around the surroundings of his own room and he could tell it was carefully prepared by Tang Lingling.
"Speaking of her, where is she?" Lee Tao wondered. Ever since he came to the Liu Clan, he hasn't seen her.
Usually, at this time, she would be carrying a teacup and began feeding him with it.
"Xiao Chu, can you take a quick scan to see where Tang Lingling is located?" Lee Tao asked.
Xiao Chu nodded her head.
"Give me a second to specify the search."
"Alrighty then."
A few seconds later, Xiao Chu finished her scanning as she located Tang Lingling's position.
"Found her, she's located around the pathway in the west."
"I see… that means she's about to reach here then."
As Lee Tao was about to relax and continue his other business, Xiao Chu suddenly informed him about a new development.
"Apparently, there's a person pestering Tang Lingling and seemed to be interested in her body," Xiao Chu said.
And she continued, "The person is most likely the reason why Tang Lingling has been delayed to deliver you tea."
Upon hearing her words, Lee Tao's expression had darkened completely.
'Mother fucker, as expected in every clan. No matter how good it is, there are always some bad apples in the family.' Lee Tao cursed inwardly as he stood up.
"Are you going to rescue her?" Xiao Chu asked, with a slightly surprised expression.
"Rescue? No, I wouldn't call it a rescue when I'm going there to beat up some retard."
"Sigh, why can't you just admit that you care about her? Seriously, I don't get you and your behavior."
Lee Tao clicked his tongue.
"You're just a system or a projection as to say. Why do you feel the need to understand me?" He shrugged his shoulders.
Afterward, he left his room as he began heading toward the Westside.
Sometime later, Lee Tao could hear a very annoying person's voice trying to speak with Tang Lingling.
"Say beauty, why don't you head to my room and serve me well? For your information, I'm the son of the third elder in the Liu Clan, and I hold some authority that everyone vied for."
"Sorry to decline, but I only serve one person in my life. Please excuse me and allow me to leave." Tang Lingling respectfully declined his advances.
However, from her tone of speech, it was clear that Tang Lingling was on the verge of using violence.
Lee Tao decided to stay put for a while and let her handle it.
If she needed to require his help every time then what qualification does she have in being his servant?
Not to mention, Lee Tao was sure that a nobody like that person is nothing in her eyes and that Tang Lingling could easily resolve this.
The question is how?
'Will Tang Lingling kick his ball sack or would she slap him across the face?' Lee Tao wondered silently.
Meanwhile, the scene started to intensify when the person became more aggressive in his pursuit.
"Listen beauty, maybe I didn't speak clearly, but allow me to introduce myself." The person said.
After a slight pause, he continued, "My name is Liu Wang and any women in the Tianyun Kingdom would flock to me like flies as soon as they see me. I'm already being generous enough by picking you to service me tonight."
Tang Lingling held a deadpan expression as she glanced at Liu Wang.
"So what?" Tang Lingling asked in a sneering tone.
"Those women who flock to you are most likely trash or irrelevant. After all, anyone with good eyesight wouldn't choose you." She added.
Liu Wang twitched his mouth when he heard the insult thrown at him by Tang Lingling.
"Bitch, how dare you refuse to drink a toast, only to drink a forfeit instead?" Liu Wang lifted his sleeves up as he clenched his fist.
Tang Lingling took a deep breath before sighing softly.
Since things had gotten to this point, she would no longer be polite anymore.
She had given him enough chances to leave her alone, but some people just want to ask for a beating.
"Sorry, but there's only one drink that I will drink from." Tang Lingling said as she circulated some of her profound qi.
"And that person is my Young Master, Lee Tao."
