Chapter 1285: Chapter 730: Sold and Still Helping to Count the Money_2

“Ling Yu is angry. How could he possibly give any face? It seems only if Baldy apologizes can they reconcile.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Yu raised an eyebrow.

Exactly.

It was only if Baldy apologized that there could be a turning point.

Without an apology, there was no chance for resolution.

He certainly heard these words.

He simply chose to ignore them.

At this moment, Qin Yuan slowly shifted his gaze onto Ling Yu.

After a pause, Qin Yuan slowly said,

“I didn’t expect your relationship to be so complex. When I first brought it up, I thought you would accept it unconditionally.”

“But I didn’t expect all these things to happen on your side. It really surprises me.”

“I don’t know when I will get your reply, so I’ll just wait here patiently since I am not in a hurry.”

Qin Yuan spoke in a calm and nonchalant manner.

It was impossible to see any sign of urgency in him.

He seemed very composed.

Ling Yu did not speak.

He just calmly watched Qin Yuan.

The surrounding crowd was also watching Qin Yuan.

They knew what Qin Yuan meant.

The statement had a bit of a provocative tone.

It was unclear whether Baldy would explode.

Their thoughts had just settled when,

Baldy suddenly picked up a chess piece from the ground and hurled it at Ling Yu.

Brother Shan saw the motion and immediately stepped in to block it.

The chess piece hit Brother Shan and then clattered to the ground.

It made a loud noise when it struck him.

So, it was a bit painful.

Baldy was somewhat taken aback, but more so angry.

“Brother Shan, what are you doing? I wasn’t hitting you, why did you jump out? Besides, I just can’t stand his attitude.”

“You have nothing to do with this, and yet you stir up so much trouble here, how could I possibly stand it?”

“I just wanted to use the chess piece to wake him up, but I didn’t expect you to suddenly rush out. I heard the sound was quite loud, it must’ve hurt.”

Baldy said all this expressionlessly.

But his gaze intermittently flickered over to Ling Yu.

This attitude said it all.

He was very angry at Brother Shan’s actions.

After a moment, the displeasure was palpable on Baldy’s face, and he added another sentence.

“Even if it hurt you a lot, I don’t care anymore. After all, you rushed out on your own, it wasn’t my intention to hit you!”

Brother Shan had not expected Baldy to say such a thing.

He truly felt Baldy had lost his sense of reason.

How could he say such things?

Couldn’t he be more rational?

After a while, Black Bear spoke with deep concern.

“Baldy, when will you ever change your temperament? If you have something to say, just say it calmly. Why resort to violence suddenly?”

“If your chess piece had hit Ling Yu, wouldn’t that have escalated the situation? If things had just started to calm down,”

“then your actions would have undone all our efforts, rendering them wasted.”

What was Baldy thinking?

Not rational at all.

Was he acting without thinking?

Thinking this, Black Bear felt quite annoyed and couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

He wasn’t trying to help Ling Yu.

He just didn’t want to see Baldy continue causing a scene.

After all, this involved their interests.

How could they possibly want to see Baldy continue causing a scene then, indeed Baldy was out of line.

Although Ling Yu’s temper might be small, Baldy’s temper wasn’t much better.

After all, it takes two to make a quarrel, and it was unclear when their relationship would calm down.

It seemed very difficult to ease their relationship; they could only wait patiently here.

Maybe there really was a chance for a turning point; right now, they couldn’t declare the situation hopeless.

Everything could have a turning point; if there really was no chance left, then there was nothing that could be done.

Once there was no chance left, there was no need to engage in pointless actions.

Engaging in pointless actions was merely a waste of time and energy.

But still, there was a primary instigator.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Black Bear finally turned his gaze toward Qin Yuan.

A trace of annoyance was visible on Black Bear’s face.

He just stared intently at Qin Yuan.

He wished he could bore a hole right into Qin Yuan with his glare.

Shange had heard Black Bear’s words too and saw him staring at Qin Yuan.

He felt utterly helpless.

When would this matter finally end?

How long would this chaos continue?

There was a deep sense of helplessness now.

He didn’t want the tumult to go on.

Baldy simply wouldn’t listen.

There was no way he would apologize to Ling Yu.

After all, Baldy had always been stubborn.

How could he possibly bow down to Ling Yu?

At that moment, the woman watching this scene couldn’t help but show a helpless expression on her face.

Why were they so good at arguing?

They had been arguing here for so long, yet there was no progress at all.

It was unclear when the commotion would end.

Her daughter hadn’t yet recovered from the turmoil.

She might even have to cover her daughter’s ears.

But the daughter’s body was still trembling.

She really hoped they would stop arguing.

Let this matter be resolved quickly.

Only when this matter was resolved would there be peace.

After a while, Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows again.

“Ling Yu, I just want to ask you now, do you want to have a duel with me, we’ve already made a bet.”

“If you don’t want to stand with them, then fight me one-on-one, and let those three stay together.”

“I don’t mind a one-on-one duel with you at all, just don’t say ‘no’, because we already agreed on this.”

He had wanted to ask for Ling Yu’s opinion.

But in the end, he decided against asking.

It was set.

Besides, they had already agreed at the start.

It wasn’t something newly agreed upon.

So he just decided to keep his promise.

Qin Yuan thought to himself.

Ling Yu curled the corners of his lips and immediately agreed, “Alright then, I’ll wait for you.”

After saying that, Ling Yu sat down to one side.

Because he wasn’t planning to make the first move.

Shange was completely dumbfounded.

Had Ling Yu agreed so quickly?

Wasn’t this going against them?

How could he do that?

No, he really couldn’t stand him doing this.

After a while, Baldy raised his eyebrows and immediately said,

“Ling Yu, it seems like you really don’t want to stand with us, we’ve been talking to you for so long, and you haven’t said a word.”

“He just said one thing to you, and you immediately agreed, are you deliberately targeting us?”

“Or deep down, do you really agree with what this brat says?”

Baldy was trying his best to control his anger.

He didn’t let his anger erupt immediately.

He was questioning the other party.

But the other had no intention of speaking.

Silence was the best answer.

Qin Yuan just sneered.

Baldy didn’t care about Qin Yuan’s sneer; his gaze stayed fixed on Ling Yu.

Eventually, he couldn’t hold back and exploded.

But he pointed his finger at Qin Yuan.

“Ling Yu, don’t you realize that we are in this situation today because of this brat?”

“If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have reached this point, so why are you listening to him?”

“Isn’t this like being sold out and helping him count the money? When did you become so foolish? You weren’t like this before!”

How could he be foolish to this extent?

It really made him feel helpless.

Along with the helplessness, he was also very angry.

He really wanted to knock on Ling Yu’s head to see what he was thinking.

Qin Yuan’s expression darkened.

Then came Baldy’s howl of pain, “Ouch, it hurts!”

Indeed, Qin Yuan was now twisting Baldy’s fingers.

And he was applying even more force.

But there was no sign of exertion on Qin Yuan’s face.
