“Then you’re talking nonsense!”
Zhou Xuan gave him a glare.
“Keep a close eye on those two.”
“Alright, alright, when they go to book a room, should I follow and watch too?”
“Of course!”
“Heh heh…”
Baili Lie let out a foolish grin.
Wang Sheng, smelling the perfume of Qiu Yuelian beside him, was already restless.
“Miss… Miss Qiu, please don’t be like this.”
He pushed her away and looked at her seriously. “Don’t worry, I won’t let him have a chance to threaten you. I have some friends who are mercenaries abroad. I’ll ask for their help.”
“Trust me.”
Only then did Qiu Yuelian realize Wang Sheng wasn’t lying.
His expression was so serious.
His eyes were only on her.
She thought, “Finally found a big sucker.”
Qiu Yuelian didn’t expect much from this encounter.
To her surprise, there was an unexpected bonus.
She had noticed Wang Sheng’s capabilities before.
His muscles and skills weren’t something an ordinary person possessed.
“By the way, when I was with so many people earlier, why were you so quiet?”
“That’s because I was always silently watching you. If you hadn’t been bullied, I would have quietly protected you my entire life and never appeared in front of you to be annoying.”
Qiu Yuelian was pleased.
This man was capable, yet so inconspicuous.
Once she was done with him, there wouldn’t be any major issues.
She thought, with unwarranted confidence.
Then, she revealed something.
“That guy has my video. If you find him, you must search him thoroughly, take all his belongings, and give them to me, alright? Don’t worry, you won’t be shortchanged for your friend’s trouble.”
“Mm, then I thank you on behalf of my friends, Miss Qiu.”
Qiu Yuelian said, “Thank you, Wang Sheng, I don’t know how to thank you enough. If you don’t mind, I’ll treat you to this meal.”
“How can I let a beautiful lady treat me to a meal? How about after the meal, you treat me to a movie, and consider this meal on me, how about that?”
As for what happened after the movie, it was all about whether the movie choice was good.
Qiu Yuelian feigned a shy smile.
“You can call me by my name too, don’t keep calling me ‘you, you’ with such formality, it’s making me feel old.”
Wang Sheng had tanned skin, a solid physique with at least eight abs, and was tall with long legs.
However, his only flaw was his ordinary appearance.
Qiu Yuelian was a looks-driven person.
Not a single man she fancied had ever escaped her grasp.
Now, she considered herself to be enduring humiliation for a greater cause.
After a night,
Wang Sheng was beaming with pride.
When he returned to Zhou Xuan, he made Baili Lie so jealous he almost spewed sour water.
“How was it? You even managed to get the enchanting Miss Qiu. You’re truly blessed with good fortune!”
Wang Sheng grinned sheepishly and said to Zhou Xuan, “Boss, I’ve figured things out.”
Zhou Xuan handed him a card. “For your trouble.”
“So much?”
“It’s not much, go have some fun with it.”
“What’s this! He gets to chase girls and spend money, why don’t I get such good things?”
Baili Lie grumbled.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, “Alright, stop your incessant chatter. He actually put in the effort. As for you, Miss Qiu might not even fancy your hardware.”
At that remark, Baili Lie was speechless.
“Master, you’re biased.”
Zhou Xuan said helplessly, “Fine, next time there’s such a good opportunity, I’ll find you, okay?”
“Alright, enough nonsense, let’s talk business.”
Wang Sheng produced the recording he had.
“Judging by Qiu Yuelian’s expression and attitude, I suspect she’s not worried about the video, but something else.”
“How so?”
Zhou Xuan became interested.
“She kept emphasizing that I should search that person’s house and other residences. It seems he has other leverage against her.”
Zhou Xuan pondered for a long time.
“Then there’s no time to delay. We’re heading there.”
“That person is in the Silver Triangle.”
“Silver Triangle?”
Baili Lie showed some concern.
“It’s a place with a mix of all sorts of people. It seems that guy is a desperado.”
“Book me a plane ticket first. Wang Sheng, Baili Lie, you’re coming with me.”
The next day.
Before boarding the plane.
Zhou Xuan received news from the Royal Hotel.
The occupant of room 8888 had checked out.
“Did you find out who it was?”
“No, Boss. The other party was very cautious.”
Wang Sheng curiously asked Zhou Xuan, “Why are you so determined to find that person?”
“Someone said that the President of the Alchemist Association was staying there. She doesn’t have a fixed residence and always stays at the Royal Hotel.”
“Qiu Wenlong’s family doctor?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s not worry about it for now,” Zhou Xuan said. “Get on the plane. We need to get our hands on the item within three days.”
Silver Triangle.
Everyone here was a fugitive.
As soon as Zhou Xuan, Wang Sheng, and Baili Lie disembarked, they took a rickety tricycle to a remote mountain village.
“Wang Sheng, where’s the contact person?”
“Boss, it’s right here.”
“No! Quick, get off, take cover!”
Zhou Xuan sensed something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere!
As soon as he spoke, the tricycle was riddled with bullets. Two figures leaped out from the vehicle.
“You’re looking for death!” Zhou Xuan roared.
Gripping his combat knife, he stepped forward!
But at that moment, a man held a gun to his head!
“Don’t move! Or I’ll kill you!” the man said fiercely.
“Wang Sheng, we meet again.” A feminine voice rang out.
It was a very young man, dressed in casual clothes, wearing sunglasses, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, holding an AK47, looking utterly nonchalant.
This was a very dangerous fellow!
He was not only a mercenary but also had his own forces.
Wang Sheng exclaimed, “How could it be you? Where is Natashan?”
“You should worry about me, Ya Qing, instead of Natashan. After all, I’m stronger, aren’t I?”
Zhou Xuan didn’t know why he was here, but he knew he couldn’t let him leave this place today!
“Wang Sheng, you go left! I’ll distract these people!”
“No, Boss! He’s our target!”
Wang Sheng spoke and threw a punch towards the man’s temple.
Ya Qing didn’t expect Wang Sheng to attack him. He quickly dodged and landed a punch on Wang Sheng’s abdomen!
Wang Sheng grunted, stumbled back a few steps, and almost fell to the ground!
“You’re asking for death!”
Ya Qing sneered, kicked Wang Sheng in the chest, sending him sprawling. He then pointed his gun at Zhou Xuan. “I’ll give you one last chance to choose: either get lost or die here with no one to collect your corpse. Choose!”
“Natashan is already on his way to see the King of Hell. This place is ours now!”
Zhou Xuan hadn’t expected his contact person to be dead.
Natashan, after all, was a mercenary leader with over a dozen men, and had helped Wang Sheng with many things.
Wang Sheng was also a subordinate recruited by Black Tiger in Cangyun City.
He was sent to Shangjing for use, only to have his base raided from behind.
Wang Sheng became even more agitated. “Ya Qing, you, you guys, you killed him! Damn you!”
What followed was another round of brutal beatings.
