Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 241 Xu Damao is frustrated

We started the game. At first, Xu Damao pretended to fight me for a few rounds, but soon his true colors showed up. He started to trip me constantly, trying to make me fall.

But what he didn't know was that my basketball skills were much better than he thought. I didn't care about his tricks at all.

I easily dodged his trip and then made a beautiful shot and put the ball into the basket.

"Beautiful!" The audience on the sidelines cheered.

Xu Damao's face turned ugly. He didn't expect that I was so powerful.

He started fouling harder and harder, trying to stop me from scoring.

But I was not irritated by him, I still played calmly and kept scoring.

The score gap grew larger and larger, and Xu Damao's face was filled with despair.

He knew he was doomed to lose.

At this moment, he suddenly made a crazy move. He rushed towards me and hit me hard.

I was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by him.

My head hit the ground and I felt a sharp pain.

I felt a black screen before my eyes and lost consciousness...

A sharp pain shot through my head like an electric current, and the world spun around before plunging into darkness. When I regained consciousness, the smell of disinfectant lingered in my nose, and the blinding white light forced me to squint.

"Boss Bao, are you awake?" A familiar voice with a hint of worry came out. I turned around and saw Miss Wang. She was sitting beside the bed, holding a half-peeled apple in her hand.

"Where am I?" I struggled to sit up, but my head felt splitting.

"You were knocked unconscious by that bastard Xu Damao in the hospital." Miss Wang helped me sit up, with a hint of resentment in her tone, "I've called the police, that guy should wait for jail time!"

I rubbed Still's aching temple, feeling mixed emotions. Xu Damao, this haunting fellow, always tries to find trouble with me. This time he was so cruel!

"Where is Li Li?" I suddenly thought of her and felt inexplicably uneasy.

"She...didn't come." Miss Wang paused, her tone a little subtle, "I called her, and she said she had something to do and couldn't come."

My heart sank. Something? What could be more important than me lying in the hospital? I tried to recall the conversation with Li Li in the cafe. She wanted me to help her deal with Miss Wang... Could it be that she had planned all this?

I took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger and doubt in my heart. Now is not the time to think about these things. I have to heal my wounds first.

"Thank you, Miss Wang." I looked at Miss Wang and said sincerely, "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what would have happened."

Miss Wang smiled and handed me the peeled apple: "Why are you being so polite to me? Have a good rest, I'll take care of the rest."

In the following days, Miss Wang came to the hospital to see me and take care of me every day. She brought me food, chatted with me, and helped me deal with company matters. Her attentiveness and thoughtfulness made me feel very warm.

But Li Li never showed up.

I gradually understood that Li Li approached me for some other purpose. I used to think that she was a smart and independent woman, a partner who could fight side by side with me. But now it seems that I was wrong about her.

On the day I was discharged from the hospital, Miss Wang came to pick me up.

"How do you feel?" she asked with concern.

"Much better." I smiled, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"You're welcome." Miss Wang also smiled, "Be careful next time and don't let others bully you again."

We walked side by side, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on us, lengthening our shadows.

"Boss Bao," Miss Wang suddenly stopped and turned to look at me with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, "There is something I don't know whether I should say it to you."

"What's the matter?" I asked.

Miss Wang took a deep breath and said, "I heard some rumors that Li Li and Xu Damao..."

My heart sank suddenly and a bad premonition came over me.

"What happened to them?" I asked anxiously.

"They... seem to be cooperating." Miss Wang said hesitantly, "I don't know what they are doing specifically. But I'm worried that they will do something bad to you."

My mind went blank. Li Li and Xu Damao working together? How is this possible? Aren't they mortal enemies?

I tried to calm myself down and analyzed what Miss Wang said. Li Li wanted to deal with Miss Wang, and Xu Damao had always wanted to retaliate against me. It seemed possible that they would cooperate. But what was their goal?

"I understand. Thank you for telling me this." I took a deep breath and said to Miss Wang.

Miss Wang nodded: "Be careful and call me if you have any questions."

I watched Miss Wang leave, feeling confused and uneasy. What were Li Li and Xu Damao plotting? And how should I respond?

After returning home, I lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Li Li's figure kept appearing in my mind, her charming smile, her sharp eyes, and the words she said...

"Opportunities are like the water in the Yellow River, fleeting."

"In my position, I have to think carefully before taking each step."

"Favors are meant to be repaid, not squandered."

……

Could it be that she was just using me from the very beginning?

I sat up suddenly, a feeling of being deceived surged in my heart. I picked up the phone and dialed Li Li's number.

The phone rang for a long time and was finally connected.

"Hello?" Li Li's voice sounded a little lazy.

"Li Li," I said in a cold tone, "Let's talk."

"Now?" Li Li seemed a little surprised. "It's so late. Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

"No, right now." I said firmly, "I'm downstairs in your house, come down."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Li Li's voice came: "Okay, I'll come down."

I hung up the phone, walked to the window and looked downstairs.

Under the dim light of the street lamp, a figure slowly walked towards them.

It’s Li Li.

She was wearing a red dress, which made her look particularly charming.

I took a deep breath and walked downstairs.

"What do you want from me?" Li Li walked up to me with a hint of doubt in his tone.

I looked at her and said word by word: "Li Li, why did you lie to me?"
