At the restroom, Chu Tianying bellowed, "Do you hear that?"
Ye Tian stood just outside the restroom, kicking the door, "What a wail!"
Then there was silence inside.
Ye Tian walked back into the room and sat down with Gui Xiao.
"Did he say anything?"
"He’s speaking now."
"What’s he saying?"
"I, am, a, little, duck, yo, yee, yee, yo."
Ye Tian was taken aback and then he understood; this was indeed Chu Tianying’s style. It’d be weird if he spoke honestly.
"Anything else?"
"Yes."
"What?"
"... He’s cursing at !"
...
Indeed, Gui Xiao was skilled. If Ye Tian hadn’t stopped him, the kid might have fought Chu Tianying desperately. Cursing is cursing, but why target my poor master and say he teaches horrible disciples? He deserved to get hit.
Thinking about last night’s event, Ye Tian felt a change of heart, considering whether to keep Gui Xiao by his side. It’s hard to find soone with such skills nowadays. Keeping him at his side would be like having a secret weapon. But is it really safe for him to be close?
This realistic issue troubled him again.
Chu Tianying slept on another bed. Although it was sowhat awkward having two grown n sharing a room, it couldn’t be helped. Now with an additional young man, the situation was even more ambiguous. When they returned last night, the boss gave him a strange look.
Ye Tian roused Gui Xiao, and the three went out to eat.
Gui Xiao was sleeping on the floor. Regarding this, both Ye Tian and Chu Tianying felt it was only proper—it’s not like we paid and still had to sleep on the floor ourselves. The two thick-skinned n smirked as they watched Gui Xiao occasionally patting his shoulders to ease his sore body, "Kid, even if you break your bones, you’re sleeping on the floor tonight."
"Ugh!"
This grunt was full of resentnt but sounded rather amusing to the n, instantly lifting their spirits.
According to the planned ti, the three arrived at a bridge café on Bagmati River, where Ye Tian had coffee with Jenny the day before. The bridge was a pri location; naturally, a coffee here was pricier.
When they arrived, Qiao hadn’t shown up yet. Since Gui Xiao was hungry, Ye Tian had to order him a sandwich. As the waiter bowed, Ye Tian mimicked Jenny and handed over a tip.
Renminbi, one yuan.
The waiter politely said thank you and probably wondered internally how much this paper was really worth.
"You’re really too stingy, giving soone just one yuan."
After Chu Tianying finished laughing, he started teasing. Ye Tian retorted, "Why don’t you do it?"
"You’re really generous!"
"That’s more like it. Just carry the plates properly, why expect tips? Back ho, you’d be beaten to a pulp already!"
"Exactly, beaten to a pulp!"
Chu Tianying mimicked Ye Tian and passed him a napkin, which Ye Tian knocked to the ground, eliciting a burst of mischievous laughter from Chu Tianying.
Gui Xiao watched the two joking around and felt increasingly that relying on these two was indeed a risky decision! If it ca down to it, forget saving himself, he might just drag them down too.
Arms dealers aren’t that easy to fool.
After sitting for a while, soone finally arrived, but it wasn’t Qiao, it was Jenny.
Looking exhausted and pale, when she showed up, Ye Tian’s first reaction was to wonder if he had been followed. But after seeing Jenny’s faint smile before she collapsed, he imdiately understood. Could this silly girl have been waiting here for him all night?
Although Nepal is a subtropical monsoon climate country and it’s spring year-round, it’s still March. Despite the early spring, it’s still very cold at night, and there aren’t any hotels nearby... Ye Tian rembered seeing soone in white crouching in a street corner on his way here. Could it have been her?
"Hey kid, is there a hospital around? Take there!"
Seeing the anxiety on Ye Tian’s face, Gui Xiao didn’t care anymore that he was here to negotiate with arms dealer Qiao; he just got up, and Chu Tianying stopped his slick talk and honestly led the way. Ye Tian, moving quickly, followed Gui Xiao, who ran ahead like a rabbit chased by a hunter, barely managing to lead them to a hospital.
Maria Hospital. Could it really be part of a global chain?
What was he thinking about at such a ti?
It was an ergency, and Gui Xiao, being the local guy familiar with everything, handled the arrangents. Leaving him unused would be foolish. Gui Xiao was quite efficient; in less than ten minutes, he had Jenny settled. Ye Tian didn’t go into the ward but just sat in the hospital lobby.
Ye Tian understood that this matter could be big or small. Jenny’s father is the Minister of Comrce; if things blew up, not even a rcenary force would suffice. But if minimized, it’s just this girl being stubborn, not going ho in the middle of the night. Not charging her is already a favor. He was not even convinced by his own reasoning.
"Captain, it’s no use... you just have to sacrifice your charm."
Ye Tian thought deeply for a mont and then sighed deeply, "Ah, it can only be this way."
...
It was Chu Tianying who Qiao had co to et, then he brought him to the hospital, unintentionally letting him catch a glimpse of Jenny lying on the hospital bed, with Ye Tian wiping her face. Though she wasn’t awake, it was clear enough. The daughter of the Minister of Comrce isn’t soone just anyone can touch. There could only be one result—they knew each other.
Sure enough, he saw a hint of wariness in his eyes.
Heh, a true talisman, scared you to death!
Seeing Ye Tian’s group again, Qiao’s eyes held more caution, never expecting these folks to be connected with the governnt.
"Mr. Qiao, I think we need to talk in detail. After all, our actions this ti relate to your future life."
With these words, Ye Tian shalessly showed his true colors again. If we’re unhappy we could just leave, but you can’t. All your family’s capital is here; leaving would be total ruin. If not, it’s just a minor Minister of Comrce. Annoy us, and we’ll simply blast his face off with a volley!
