Chapter 111 Zhu Que
“Master Zuo is still at his home dealing with his mother’s funeral, and he will return to Harrow soon. he is the head of the provincial branch and Chen’s master. Without his authorization, no one can make a decision.” Sikong Jie said.
“Chen went to the Shadow Stage for them, for Old School Society, or he wouldn’t have lost his life. Now they’re just giving us these excuses. Are they going to just pass the buck?”
“They work for the government, so they have a lot of restrictions on how they handle things. It’s just inevitable.”
“Dad! We can’t wait. In case that mother fucker gets away, we’ll never find him again. If he leaves our place, things will be more difficult. You must take revenge for Chen.”
Sikong Anming fell to his knees at Sikong Xinrong’s feet, crying and sobbing
The eyes of all the people in the Sikong family were then on this highly respected family head. They were all waiting for his decision.
Sikong Xinrong did not say a word and thought for a while. Finally he said, “Sikong Jie, we need one billion dollars in cash as soon as possible. And you and I are going to Mount Kumi.”
The people looked at each other and they were all in amazement.
At Mount Kumi there was a Monk Yuxu. He was a martial arts master with hundreds of disciples.
There was an unwritten rule in the martial arts community. Only fighters beyond the Foundation stage were qualified to open a sect, and Master Yuxu reached beyond the Foundation stage and became the head of his own sect at almost the same time as Zuo Zhiyuan.
It was just that although Master Yuxu practiced Taoism, he loved money. He did not care what outsiders thought of him, and you just had to pay a large sum of money to get his help.
But the entire Sikong family combined was worth only three or four billion. It was not easy for them to raise a billion in cash at once.
Besides, spending a billion just to avenge Sikong Chen concerned the interests of the entire family. Although they felt angry about what happened, that alone did not justify the cost.
Soon they began whispering and discussing. Some of them raised their objections, while some strongly supported the revenge.
“One billion will be the net profit of the entire Golden Harrow for several years. Is it really worth it? Chen is gone, but we’re still alive. We need the money.”
“I want to spend every penny I have to avenge Chen, let alone just one billion.”
“Father, we don’t have that much cash…” said Sikong Jie with a frown.
“What do you mean, Sikong Jie? This is about the reputation of our family. Your son was humiliated and my son was killed. What a disgrace it is! And you are not willing to pay a mere one billion?!” Sikong Anming was so angry.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I am telling the truth. I’ve been in charge of our finances all these years. Of course I know how much money we have.”
“Enough, why are you fighting with your family? You are making yourselves a joke. If we don’t have enough cash then we’ll take a loan from the bank. If that’s not even enough, we can sell our equity.” Sikong Xinrong interrupted.
The rowdy hall immediately quieted down.
Since he had said so, no one would raise any objections.
The decision was then made.
…
Because Yao Cen’s car was still at the 4S store, they just took a taxi to the company the next day.
Xiao Shun stayed in the company for a while and then he sneaked out.
He went to the courtyard, and told Zhu Que about his arrangement. Although Zhu Que had already indicated her allegiance to him, he still had to ask for her consent.
“I just killed people before, but now I have to protect people. Interesting.” Zhu Que said.
“Then you agree?” Xiao Shun said with a smile.
“Of course.” She then added, “I have one more request…”
“Just say it.”
“Can you teach me how to carve a complex spirit pattern like you did?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Zhu Que didn’t have a lot of talent for martial arts, however, she was stubborn and tough enough. Through hard training she finally achieved good results in shooting and had just became a middle tier killer. Shooting was a skill she relied on for survival.
“Of course. That’s not something complicated, and it just takes some practice.” Xiao Shun said in a light-hearted manner.
“Thank you so much then, sir.”
“Someone will contact you afterwards, and you still have to get through the interview.”
Zhu Que nodded. As she looked at Xiao Shun’s back disappearing into the distance, she smiled faintly.
‘What kind of woman would could make such an unworldly man willingly take care of her in every way. I would really like to meet this woman.’
In the afternoon, in Long San’s office.
He couldn’t help but gulp as soon as Zhu Que appeared.
Under her khaki trench coat was a tight leather jacket and her snug jeans set off the long, slender curves of those beautiful legs. On top of all this was an exotic, sexy and beautiful face.
She slowly walked over, and Long San immediately felt a prohibitive aura approaching. His heart jolted.
Where on earth did Mr. Xiao find such a superb beauty? He really envied his luck and ability to tame even such a wild beast…
And he put such a superb beauty exactly beside his wife… Just what a blatant audacity did he get?
“Nice to meet you, I’m here for an interview.” Zhu Que smiled sweetly and extended her hand.
Long San finally came back to his senses. He hurriedly got up and gently squeezed her fingertips, “Oh, Mr. Xiao has told me about you, so I think he had done that part. Since he had asked you to come here, it must be okay. I’ve got a room for you, and it’s a small courtyard right next to mine. I’ll show you around first, and then I’ll find something for you to do afterwards.”
Zhu Que nodded.
Long San felt actually a little chicken hearted. He had never mentioned anything about bodyguards to Yao Cen, and Xiao Shun had only told him about it last night. So how should he explain to her then? What if she didn’t agree?
“Miss Zhu, didn’t you bring any luggage with you?”
On their way, Long San noticed that she only carried a long suitcase and was curious.
“I only bring my gun when I’m out.” Zhu Que said lightly.
Long San froze for a moment. Xiao Shun only told him that this woman would be Yao Cen’s bodyguard, but he didn’t tell him where this woman came from.
“Miss Zhu, are you kidding? Who dares to run around with a gun these days.”
Zhu Que smiled faintly and said nothing.
As Long San said, her room was in the small courtyard next to that of his. And at first it was meant for a technician in the factory.
When the two arrived at the door of the courtyard, they saw a little girl with a ponytail. She was looking up at the dates hanging on the branches poking out above the wall.
When she saw Long San, she smiled a little shyly.
“Hu, this is our new neighbor, Miss Zhu.”
Hu then gazed at her with her big watery eyes without saying a word. Her eyes were like the sky above a plateau, clear and clean.
“This is my daughter, Hu. She’s quite shy.” Long San scratched his head and introduced.
