"Mr. Zhu, what do you an by that...?"
"Uh, I plan to join Ruoxue on this mission when the ti cos, Old Song, I think that shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
"Ah, you young man, now that you’ve put it this way, would you listen if I said I don’t agree?"
Song Yan helplessly could only chide with a bit of annoyance over the phone, "Alright, since you’ve already decided, I’ll just give you a heads up."
"By the way, regarding the specific details of the mission, and so information about that new casino, I will have Scorpion and Yāojī send it to your secure email account later, just take a look when you have ti."
Zhu Fei laughed, "Hehe, then I really appreciate it, Old Song."
He was aware that if he wanted to help Qiu Ruoxue, to help her secure her place quickly in that special departnt, this necessary procedure was still sothing he needed to go through.
Otherwise, why would he bother making this call? It would be better to just go with Qiu Ruoxue openly and directly.
While speaking with Song Yan, Zhu Fei suddenly seed to think of sothing and tentatively asked, "By the way, Old Song, is everything okay on Scorpion’s end?"
He was asking about the matter of killing Lv Chenglong, and Song Yan naturally understood, promptly responding with a laugh, "Hehe, no worries, I might as well have Scorpion tell you herself."
Before Zhu Fei could refuse, he felt the phone line go quiet for a mont, then Scorpion’s faint voice ca through directly.
"Um, Big Brother Zhu Fei, this is Scorpion."
"Cough cough... Scorpion, hi." Zhu Fei was slightly embarrassed.
After all, he had killed her father, and even if Scorpion truly had no hard feelings, Zhu Fei himself still felt a bit uncomfortable about it.
"Hehe, thank you for what you did before, for avenging my mother and . I already heard about your situation from Grandpa Song. So, in a while, I’ll follow up with the information on your mission, and if I discover anything, I’ll actively contact you."
Who would have thought that Scorpion not only showed no anomaly in her interaction with Zhu Fei but also spoke to him with a rare smile.
And from the tone of her voice right then, it seed... as if there was even so gratitude in her words.
But this sort of reaction, when thinking back on the current Scorpion, didn’t seem particularly hard to understand.
After all, Scorpion’s situation was different from others; she had no filial emotions for her father, Lv Chenglong, but instead harbored intense hatred towards him.
Because her own mother was killed by Lv Chenglong’s own hands.
"Um, sure, then I’ll count on you for that."
"Hehe, no need to be polite, it’s my duty."
...
Afterward, Zhu Fei chatted with Scorpion and Song Yan for a bit longer, then ended the call.
After hanging up, Zhu Fei turned to look at Qiu Ruoxue, who was absorbed in her coffee, shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and said, "I’ve already cleared it with Old Song, so I’ll be joining you on your mission this ti."
Qiu Ruoxue put down her coffee cup, gave Zhu Fei a faint look, and without saying much, just nodded her head slightly.
...
The next day, Zhu Fei greeted Wan Qianshan and said he needed to take so ti off.
Wan Qianshan seed to have already learned so of Zhu Fei’s circumstances and, upon hearing this, didn’t say much but happily agreed right away.
Zhu Fei had arranged a travel passport through his connections in a special departnt and, together with Qiu Ruoxue, had imdiately boarded a flight bound for Macau that sa day.
Both were seated in first class, and at this mont, the aircraft’s announcent system was sounding the alert that the plane would soon take off.
Shortly after the alert, the entire plane began to taxi on the runway, and, with a jolt, it shot into the sky.
One hour, two hours, three hours... just as the plane was about to land at Macau Airport.
A middle-aged man seated in front of Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue suddenly let out a grunt and his body abruptly slumped down.
The sudden sight alard everyone present.
The two n closest to the middle-aged man, who looked like bodyguards, panicked and imdiately shouted into the aisle, "Soone help! Quickly, we need so help for our boss!"
As the two n called out, one quickly turned and asked the middle-aged man with an anxious look, "Mr. Guo, how do you feel? Are you okay?"
The man known as Mr. Guo was already deathly pale, with large beads of cold sweat streaming down his forehead, and he appeared to be in severe pain.
"Mr. Guo...?"
At that mont, Qiu Ruoxue, sitting beside Zhu Fei, suddenly shifted her beautiful eyes subtly and glanced unnoticeably in that direction.
Seeing this, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but look at Qiu Ruoxue curiously and whispered in her ear, "Ruoxue, what’s wrong? Do you know that man?"
Qiu Ruoxue shook her head slightly and also whispered back in Zhu Fei’s ear, "I don’t know him, but I think I’ve guessed his identity."
After a brief pause, she continued, "If I’m not mistaken, that should be Guo Qian, the chairman of the Royal Casino in Macau."
"Oh, and what’s that got to do with us?"
Zhu Fei was puzzled, as he knew Qiu Ruoxue wasn’t the type to show interest in other people’s business.
However, from her reaction just now, she seed to take notice of this Guo Qian.
Qiu Ruoxue continued in a low voice, "Guo Qian has a lot of influence in Macau, and I’ve heard that the power of the Royal Casino he controls is not ordinary."
Zhu Fei’s eyes suddenly narrowed, "You an Guo Qian and the power he controls aren’t ordinary people?"
Qiu Ruoxue nodded, "If I rember correctly, that should be the case."
She paused and then added, "If we can get Guo Qian’s help with our mission this ti, I believe the difficulty should be reduced considerably."
"Oh, there’s that aspect too."
Zhu Fei’s eyes flickered with thought as he looked at the pained Guo Qian, who had collapsed, and suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
For he had just realized that there was a faint fluctuation of Gang Qi around Guo Qian.
Perhaps it was because he was ill now, or for so other reason, but the Gang Qi around Guo Qian was at that mont very faint.
If it hadn’t been for Qiu Ruoxue’s earlier remark, Zhu Fei wouldn’t have noticed it himself.
However, looking at the two bodyguards following Guo Qian, there seed to be nothing unusual about them; they appeared to be just ordinary people with no particular skills.
"Excuse ! Please, make way."
Just then, an urgent voice of a flight attendant and security personnel was heard in the cabin aisle.
