Chapter 676: Chapter 62: Se Kong’s Minor Incident Chapter 676: Chapter 62: Se Kong’s Minor Incident Nathan Road was ablaze with lights, and the golden glass elevators in the Zhongxing Baode Office Building rose and fell. The parking spaces were cramd with luxury cars. n and won in bright clothes sauntered into the venue with seductive steps.
Li Yan sat alone on the concrete rooftop drinking a cola. He overlooked the entire plaza, his gaze sweeping over the faces of every young woman entering the auction venue.
Du~
The cellphone had barely rung once before it was answered, and Judy’s voice ca through the speaker.
“Hello.”
“How about it? Do you want to co back to the mainland with ?”
Li Yan’s tone sounded arrogant and rude.
Judy, looking up at the moon while wearing a bathrobe, trapped the phone between her neck and shoulder. She was applying hand cream to her arms as she spoke, “Ha, why? Do you really think I’m keen on going back with you? Stand on the wharf tomorrow, and if you see a red sports car before seven o’clock, go pick them up. If not, just get on the boat by yourself.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you. Oh, by the way, where are you now?”
“At ho, what’s up?”
“Nothing, go to sleep early,”
Li Yan hung up the phone.
Judy glanced at the mobile in her hand and cursed, “Now you’re playing nice, too late!”
Li had just co out of the bathroom. She was drying her hair while stealthily eavesdropping on the conversation until Judy hung up. Then she approached her, “Have you really decided not to go see her on the mainland?”
Judy threw down her phone in a huff, “Who does he think he is? Leslie Cheung? That all the won in the world should revolve around him?” She rubbed Li’s cheek and said with a giggling smile, “Besides, how could I bear to leave you.”
Li let her do as she pleased, not moving at all, just quietly watching her.
Judy fell silent for a while, “I’m not ready yet.”
Li pulled Judy’s hand off her face, “I have a feeling that if you don’t go to the wharf this ti, you might never see her again.”
“…” Judy gave a bitter smile, “That might not necessarily be a bad thing.”
She gathered her emotions and said fiercely, “Tomorrow I’ll have Andy drive to the wharf to give him a good tease. Then Andy can tell him, ‘Mr. Li, my boss thought long and hard, and in the end, decided to leave you, wish you happiness.’ What do you think his face will look like?”
Li tilted her head, “Hmm, I indeed find it hard to imagine that scene.”
After hanging up the call, Li Yan flipped his cellphone open and closed a few tis before suddenly crushing the cola can in his hand.
Boom~
Pale, branch-like lightning flashed across the cloudy sky.
Se Kong, standing in front of the Zhongxing Baode Building, turned his head and locked eyes with Li Yan’s sharp gaze from afar.
Twelve hours earlier.
“Mr. Zhao, I don’t understand why we’re changing course at this ti, and, frankly speaking, having dealt with Muni…”
Yu Shiqie scanned all the people present as she spoke, “This matter really exceeds the capabilities of these people here.”
“Muni must die here; we can’t let this tumor grow any longer. As for capability limits…”
Zhao Jianzhong spoke in an even tone, “Yu Shi, if you think so, it’s because you underestimate the environnt here.”
“I don’t quite understand what you an,” Yu Shiqie said.
“I’ve brought many friends with this ti. They can be of help,” Zhao Jianzhong took a sharp turn in his talk, “but I need soone to act as bait. This person’s strength must be below the Six Ministries, otherwise, Se Kong will be suspicious. He will engage Muni on the front line, and if he cannot withstand Muni’s pressure, it will put everyone at a disadvantage. I must say this upfront, due to my organization’s practices, even if Muni is successfully killed, this person will not receive any more reward than the others. Any volunteers?”
“I’ll do it,” both Yang Zheng and Li Yan said, almost simultaneously. After speaking, they exchanged glances.
“Yang Zheng, state your reason,” Zhao Jianzhong said.
Without hesitation, Yang Zheng replied, “I’ve never crossed hands with Muni, but apart from Yu Shiqie, it has to be .”
Zhao Jianzhong looked toward Li Yan, “And you?”
Li Yan pondered for a mont, “I’ve clashed with Muni before, and he should be more interested in . Therefore, the likelihood of succeeding as bait is greater. If Muni sees , it’s very probable that he would co after alone as he did last ti. Se Kong should implicitly agree as well. After all, he wouldn’t believe that I could pose a threat to Muni.”
Yang Zheng shifted his body to the side, whispering to Li Yan, “I heard from Yu Shiqie that you and Xiaodao didn’t even last half a minute. Are you sure you can handle it?”
“Even if it were you, you might not last more than half a minute either.”
Zhao Jianzhong tapped the table, interrupting the two’s banter.
“Li Yan, tell the truth. Are you wanting to be the bait because Cha Xiaodao was severely injured by Muni, driven by a desire for revenge?”
Li Yan nodded frankly, “There is a little bit of that, yes.”
…
Li Yan held his breath. This nun with delicate features and an ethereal aura didn’t have the sa thick murderous intent hidden behind benevolent bovine eyes like Muni did. She looked no different from an ordinary girl, but there was always an odd sense of detachnt about her, like a stunning painting, devoid of humanity.
But what Li Yan really cared about was not her but the man standing beside her…
“This little bastard!”
Li Yan cursed under his breath.
“Tch~”
Se Kong withdrew his gaze disdainfully, calling out before even entering the door, “Where’s Zhao Jianzhong? I’m here! I’m here! He didn’t back out, did he?”
“Of course not,” Yu Shiqie erged from the revolving door, “Mr. Zhao is waiting for you on the third floor.”
“Waiting for all of you.”
Boom~
The rain poured down heavily. The man behind Se Kong opened an umbrella, covering both himself and the young nun as he muttered, “Thank goodness I brought an umbrella, otherwise, even if we didn’t get wet, standing in the rain would just be too silly.”
Wenle.
“I thought Muni would be the one coming.”
Yu Shiqie’s tone carried a hint of teasing.
Wenle laughed it off, not daring to et Yu Shiqie’s eyes.
————————————-
“The materials are all prepared; Yan Zhao Club’s people will head to Da’ao Village to find the Dragon Vein tonight, and I will follow behind.”
“Ah, I’ve changed my mind, forget it. Tonight, you and I go to Zhongxing Baode Building, and have Muni take the old man to find the Dragon Vein. Hey, why do you look so unwell?”
“Do I?” Ren Ni retorted, “Why the sudden change of heart?”
Se Kong furrowed his brows, “What’s wrong? I thought you would be pleased with Muni and splitting up.”
“Okay, okay, whatever you say,” Wenle feigned nonchalance.
“I’ve thought it over; Muni’s better suited for this rough work. As for you…” Se Kong looked at Wenle, “Do you know how to play mahjong?”
“A bit.”
After Wenle spoke, he quietly swallowed.
Twelve hours earlier.
“Who told you Se Kong would bring Muni over?”
“But wasn’t it Feng Yi who said?” Yu Shiqie couldn’t help but speak up.
“Se Kong and Muni have only been in Yan Fu for two or three years; neither of them knows how to play mahjong.”
Zhao Jianzhong said with a smile, “Therefore, Se Kong should be bringing Feng Yi over.”
