"Th_this" Reaper was getting red with embarrassnt.
"Your ’bodyguard’ sure is interesting," Lu Jinhai interrupted them all of a sudden.
Mo Chou perked up upon hearing this and said in a proud voice, "I’ve been this one’s bodyguard ever since he was wearing diapers.
Oh, how fast the days go by." She even went further and pretended to wipe her nonexistent tears.
Reaper "..."
Lu Jinhai "..."
"Why don’t you let the granny retire already, Mr. Reaper?" Huo Zhai couldn’t help but say as he looked at the frail-looking ’grandmother’ who was still guarding Reaper at such an old age.
He even got a little emotional thinking about his own deceased grandmother.
Reaper gritted his teeth and replied, "Yeah, I will definitely help her ’retire’ soon".
Mo Chou knew that she shouldn’t continue pulling her big brother’s leg anymore, so she hurriedly said, "No need, no need, I can still work a few more years."
But her words didn’t improve the situation at all; rather, Huo Zhai seed even more agitated: "No, granny, you are already so old, yet you are still working, not to ntion that our line of work is risky. Why don’t I help you find a nice retirent ho?"
Mo Chou now fully regretted dressing up as an old lady. Because of her, the eting, which was close to concluding, had now lost track.
She wanted to smooth the situation over quickly so that they could continue with their eting, but just as she was about to say sothing, Evan spoke up, surprising everyone.
"Why don’t you give your bodyguard to ?"
His words stunned everyone in the room. Reaper was about to reply negatively when he added, "I find your bodyguard quite amusing. If you let her work for for a week, I’ll overlook the losses, and we can work like before."
Reaper listened to his words and was tempted for a mont, but he ca back to his senses. Evan was known for being ruthless, and if he found out that Mo Chou had tricked him by dressing up as a granny, who knew what he would do? So he was about to refuse him, but to his dismay, Mo Chou spoke before he could even open his mouth: "Of course I can work for you, but only if you agree to increase the shipnt price by ten percent.".
Reaper imdiately panicked upon hearing her words. Letting Mo Chou work for Evan for a short ti would have been fine in exchange for the compensation, but she even added such an outrageous demand.
Even Huo Zhai was shocked and concerned after hearing Mo Chou’s words, but to everyone’s surprise, Lu Jinhai just nodded his head and said, "Sure.".
Mo Chou was delighted and turned to look at Reaper, but she saw that rather than being happy, Reaper seed more concerned and even a little angry.
Lu Jinhai still had a lot of work to do. The eting had taken more ti than he had intended, and he was falling behind on his schedule, so even though he didn’t want to leave yet, he still got up and said, "Since it’s fixed, I’ll prepare the new contract according to what we have agreed upon. As for the work, I’ll have to prepare so things, so I will inform you in advance.".
He took one last look at the ’granny’ and left the room along with Huo Zhai.
After he left the restaurant, Lu Jinhai felt a little puzzled. This ti, Mo Chou’s disguise could be said to be flawless. Even in the past, when he had t her, he could tell that it was Mo Chou behind the disguise. He would just know that it was her imdiately after seeing her.
"Maybe we are fated.".
Huo Zhai, who was driving, heard his words and was a little concerned. His boss seed really interested in that old lady, for so reason.
Even though the fact that she was a gang leader’s bodyguard was shocking, he hadn’t thought that his boss, who was aloof and cold, would be so invested in her.
He took a look at the mirror, only to see his boss, who had taken his mask off earlier, smiling. Huo Zhai felt chills down his spine.
’Boss is not going to tornt the old granny because she annoyed him, right? Otherwise, why would he want to make her work for him. He’s even smiling’.
(Lu Jinhai: (ーー;))
"I don’t think it’s a good idea to make that granny work for you, boss. Looking at her, I don’t think she will be able to do anything with such a frail body," Huo Zhai said, trying to change Lu Jinhai’s mind.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly turned cold. Lu Jinhai answered him in a frosty tone, saying, "Since when have you started questioning my decisions now? It seems like you don’t have enough work nowadays, so I’ve decided that you will be looking after ’Zeus’ from now on.".
Huo Zhai wanted to imdiately cry after hearing Lu Jinhai’s orders.
He was still traumatized from the last ti that he had to look after Zeus, but he kept his mouth shut just in case his boss was feeling more ’generous’ in assigning tasks for him.
***
While Lu Jinhai was having a good ti, Mo Chou was getting scolded by Reaper for her rash decision.
"What did you just do, little one? That man is dangerous. How can you just agree to work for him for my sake?"
Mo Chou was regretting her decision after seeing her big brother’s concern. Since she had been alone for a long ti before transmigration, she had gotten used to doing risky things for money.
Actually, she didn’t really consider this job to be dangerous because, for so reason, Evan gave her a feeling of familiarity and comfort. She could also handle herself just fine.
"I’m sorry, big brother; I agreed to his request in a haste, but you did get a good deal out of it, and I will be just fine. Don’t worry," Mo Chou said, trying to comfort him.
"I don’t care about the money or profits. I’d rather you be safe; you are much more precious to than those things," Reaper said in a firm voice.
Mo Chou was touched because of his words. She wanted to lighten the mood, so she said, "Just give five percent of it, then ,hehe".
Reaper looked at his cheeky sister and couldn’t stay mad at her any longer. "Hah, you can have the entire ten percent. Just don’t do anything stupid anymore. Make sure not to lose your disguise, and most importantly, behave.".
"Yes, sir," Mo Chou gave him a salute.
She had already changed out of her disguise, and they were heading back to the Liu Mansion in Reaper’s car.
Mo Chou wanted to play so music and was looking at the music player when a car caught her eye in the rear view mirror.
It was directly behind them, and everything seed fine on the surface. Mo Chou’s intuition told her that sothing was wrong though.
She called out to Reaper, who was driving, and told him her doubts without taking her eyes off the car.
Reaper nodded and started speeding up. Mo Chou looked at the car behind them and said, "It seems like we are being followed.".
