Chapter 110 - 111: This Little Missy Is Indeed Not Very Capable!
“Fine! I’ll go first.” He Ming rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick arms with dragon tattoos.
He took a throwing knife from his subordinate.
His fingertips held the blade and the sharp knife danced with his arm swing but did not cut his fingers at all.
Such exquisite skills immediately attracted many onlookers.
Who here didn’t know He Ming?
This young girl actually dared to challenge him. She simply didn’t know what was good for her!
He Ming would most definitely beat her tonight.
Jiang Yining didn’t pay attention to the commotion around her as she stared at the flamboyant He Ming.
After He Ming had shown off enough, he threw his knife at the target!
Clang!
The sharp blade was wedged into the wooden board, and it was close to the red dot of the bullseye!
9.8 points!
Everyone in the room gasped.
This He Ming was a real expert to be able to throw his first knife so accurately!
Unless Jiang Yining hit the bullseye, it was impossible for her to win!
Even experienced veterans might not be able to do that.
She was just a newborn calf. How could she do it?
He Ming stared at Jiang Yining as if she was already food on his plate with no way out.
“Please.”
Jiang Yining chuckled and took a throwing knife.
She swung it a few times before she threw it out without hesitation.
Clang!
The people who were certain that Jiang Yining would lose just now were dumbfounded!
He Ming also said in disbelief, “You… Impossible! You must have cheated!”
How else could she hit the bullseye with just a casual throw?
“You guys supplied the throwing knives, and you threw one just now. How could I tamper with anything under your nose?” Jiang Yining looked up, met his questioning gaze and continued, “You’re a person-in-charge after all and you can’t even afford to lose?”
Of course, He Ming could afford to lose!
It was only 800,000 yuan!
But losing to a young girl in front of so many people was too embarrassing!
Moreover, he didn’t believe that Jiang Yining was capable of that.
She must have done something without anyone knowing!
“Can we go now?” Jiang Yining asked calmly.
Ye Xiaoxi grabbed a corner of her shirt, ready to leave with her at any moment.
“Let’s play again.” He Ming said grudgingly.
Jiang Yining mocked, “Huh? But we agreed on playing only one game just now! If you ask to play again and I say yes, then what am 1?”
“I think you are too chicken to play again, right?” He Ming goaded.
“What’s there to be afraid of? I’m afraid… You can’t give me what I want.”
“What do you want?” He Ming was about to laugh his head off. What couldn’t he afford?
“I want this place.” Jiang Yining’s tone was as light as a feather, as if she was talking about a meal.
As soon as those words were said, the room was a cacophony of voices.
He Ming frowned and clenched his fists. “You have a very big appetite for a young girl.”
“You are the one who insist on playing again. If you don’t dare, then forget it.” Jiang Yining turned to leave after she said that.
He Ming stopped her. “Fine, let’s play! We’ll change the target. Also, the throwing knives will be checked by a third party to prevent you from cheating. If I lose, I’ll give this place to you. It you lose…” He Ming let out an evil laugh. “I’ll punish you by making you my slave for ten years, doing whatever I tell you to do!”
“No problem.” Jiang Yining glanced at the excited crowd and said, “But I don’t feel comfortable having your people set things up.”
“Then who would you like to set things up?” He Ming asked.
Jiang Yining pointed at a figure sitting on the second floor. “Him!”
She had noticed this person long ago.
Everyone’s attention was focused on this match, except for him.
He Ming looked in the direction she was pointing at, and his face contorted several times. “No…”
He was halfway through his objection when a low and clear voice drifted down from the second floor. “This lady wants me to help you. May I know what kind of reward I will receive?”
“When I win, all the profits made here today will belong to you!” Jiang Yining said generously.
The man walked down the stairs as he spoke.
He looked to be in his thirties, and very handsome. Especially his azure blue, amorous eyes, which were particularly eye-catching. Just one glance at him would take one’s breath away.
Jiang Yining’s eyes flickered.
The man walked up to the table elegantly and said calmly to her, “Are you so sure that you will win?”
Jiang Yining smiled and replied in a gentle voice, “Why don’t you just wait and see the results?”
“Alright, I’ll wait and see.”
He Ming stood up and wanted to bow, but the man shot him a cold look and stopped him.
“Best of three. Whoever wins two throws first wins the game.”
After the man explained the rules, he walked unhurriedly to the tray filled with throwing knives.
He then picked six knives and gave them three each.
“To be fair, 1’11 go first this time.” Jiang Yining stepped up. She picked up one of her knives and threw it at the center of the target.
Everyone held their breaths.
He Ming couldn’t help but feel nervous too.
The throwing knife pierced through the air and stabbed into the wooden board.
It was quite a distance away from the bullseye.
7.0 points!
He Ming let out a long sigh of relief and sneered. This little missy was indeed not very capable!
She must have cheated just now.
Didn’t her performance drop as soon as someone else picked the throwing knives?
Ye Xiaoxi, who was already nervous, tensed up immediately when Jiang Yining had a bad start.
“Yining, don’t play anymore. Let’s go.”
If the rest of Yining’s life was ruined because of her…
She would never forgive herself.
Ye Xiaoxi’s entire body was shaking.
Jiang Yining said calmly, “Xiaoxi, we’ll leave after this game.” She then gave the man who picked the knives a meaningful look before she said to He Ming, “It’s your turn.”
He Ming was bursting with confidence. He stood up and threw a knife.
There were no surprises.
His throwing knife was close to the bullseye again, 9.5 points!
He Ming won the first throw!
