Chapter 273: Chapter 273: The Aweso San Pao_1
After several days of hustling, Buckteeth Zhou had finally found a satisfactory house for the old woman.
However, the old woman didn’t intend to move imdiately. Zhang Xian had said he could cure her son, so she planned to wait until her son was better before moving.
Buckteeth Zhou had no objections and followed the old woman’s wish.
The middle-aged man could now move gently and can even walk slowly, though he still lacked strength.
Leaning on a pivot and walking to Buckteeth Zhou, he wore a grateful expression, "Big brother, it’s not very masculine for two grown n to be so verbose, but I don’t know how else to express my feelings."
Buckteeth Zhou cut off the middle-aged man, saying, "Since you know it’s verbose, don’t say it. I’m just following Brother Xian’s instructions."
The middle-aged man tried to continue, "But..."
Buckteeth Zhou cut him off again saying, "Enough, if you want to chat with , I’m okay with it, but don’t bother with these sentintal talks."
The middle-aged man nodded, "Fine, I’ll stop. If you ever need help in the future, feel free to ask. I may not have much but strength I do have."
Buckteeth Zhou chuckled, then helped the middle-aged man walk to the side to sit down. They began to chat idly.
"What happened? Where did the house go?"
Not far away, a middle-aged man dressed in black surveyed the area, his eyebrows furrowing.
Gazing around, he noticed a hut nearby with a stooped figure standing at the door. He imdiately quickened his pace towards the hut.
Upon closer look at the stooped figure, he was surprised and rushed over asking, "Ma’am, what’s going on..."
The old woman looked dumbstruck and joyfully asked, "San Pao, are...are you out?"
"Mhm, I’m out," San Pao nodded and asked, "Ma’am, why are you living here? Where is your house?"
"San Pao, you don’t need to worry about the housing issue, it’s been resolved," the old woman grabbed San Pao’s hand, "What about you? Why are you out? Did you break out of prison?"
San Pao shook his head, "No, I behaved well so they let
out early."
"Oh!" The old woman didn’t fully understand but was glad to hear that San Pao was now free, "Brother Shao is chatting over there, go and see him."
San Pao nodded and went to the other side of the hut.
Seeing Brother Shao sitting with a middle-aged man, he squinted his eyes before approaching them, "Brother Shao, how have you been lately?"
"San...San Pao?" Brother Shao stood up, looking surprised, "How did you get out? You didn’t...damn it, did you break out of prison?"
Buckteeth Zhou turned to look at San Pao, sowhat surprised. On the outside, San Pao seed thin, nothing remarkable, but Buckteeth Zhou felt that San Pao was more nacing than he appeared.
"How could that be?" San Pao waved his hand and glanced at Buckteeth Zhou before asking, "And this brother is...?"
Brother Shao said, "He’s one of us, you can trust him."
San Pao nodded, seed to lose his alertness and sat down.
Brother Shao introduced him to Buckteeth Zhou, "Brother Zhou, this is my brother San Pao. We t by chance. But this guy did sothing naughty and got caught."
"The na San Pao sound familiar," Buckteeth Zhou thought for a second, then said in surprise, "You wouldn’t be the notorious San Pao from three years ago, would you? I rember that San Pao was trying to kill a wealthy businessman from out of town in Tiandu. He tangled with ard police for half a month, managed to get close to the businessman, but didn’t successfully assassinate him and got caught."
San Pao scratched his head, "There were too many ard police, I couldn’t carry it through. Damn it, if I see that jerk again, I would still want to kill him."
Buckteeth Zhou patted San Pao on the shoulder, "You’re already very impressive, to get close to the businessman under such heavy police presence. I respect that kind of strength."
San Pao chuckled, "It’s nothing, I’m just a farr. If it wasn’t for Brother Shao helping
back then, I might have starved on the streets."
Brother Shao laughed, "Brother Zhou, San Pao is very loyal. I only invited him for a al back then, but he claid
as his big brother ever since. It’s kinda embarrassing!"
San Pao said, "A drop of received benevolence shall be reciprocated with gushing spring. Brother Shao is a man of integrity, and I, San Pao, respect him from the bottom of my heart."
Buckteeth Zhou hesitated and then said, "Brother San Pao, you’ve just got out of jail, you probably don’t have a place to go yet, right? How about I introduce you to soone?"
"Brother Zhou, are you talking about Brother Xian," Brother Shao laughed and patted San Pao on the shoulder, "San Pao, I know whom Brother Zhou wants to introduce to you. I’ll stake my life on this, Brother Zhou and Brother Xian are both trustworthy people, the kind of people you can entrust your life to. If you really have nowhere else to go, you might as well join Brother Xian’s team. I’ve been thinking about this too."
San Pao frowned, "I still have a mission, it’s still uncertain."
Brother Shao curiously asked, "What mission?"
San Pao said, "Actually, I struck a deal with soone. I help him kill a man, and he gets
out of jail, clearing my previous cris."
...
At lunchti, after finishing his al.
Zhang Xian arrived at Hengtai Industrial Park in his Ferrari to provide treatnt for Brother Shao.
Several days had passed, and Brother Shao was now able to walk. One more session today, and Brother Shao would be completely recovered and even stronger than before.
After several sessions of Spiritual Energy cleansing, the effects were certainly not in vain.
"Brother Xian, you’re here."
Seeing Zhang Xian, Brother Shao imdiately stood to greet him with a smile, "Making you run over here every now and then, I truly feel bad!"
Buckteeth Zhou also stood up upon seeing Zhang Xian, smiling, "Brother Xian."
San Pao remained unmoved, only staring at Zhang Xian with evident surprise. This guy, wasn’t he the one he was supposed to assassinate? Why did he know Brother Shao and Zhou?
"It’s you?"
Upon seeing San Pao, Zhang Xian gave a cold laugh, "What? You failed to kill
last ti and now you’re here again?"
"What’s going on?"
Seeing sothing seems off, Brother Shao asked in surprise, "Do... do you two know each other?"
Suddenly, San Pao leapt up, pulling out his gun and pointing it at Zhang Xian, "There’s no ill will between us, but for my freedom, I must do this. Brother, I am sorry."
"What are you doing?" Shocked, Brother Shao positioned himself protectively in front of Zhang Xian, exclaiming, "San Pao, what do you an? Put down your gun imdiately."
San Pao replied, "Brother Shao, stay out of this."
Furious, Brother Shao declared, "Brother Xian saved the Shao family. If you want to kill him, you’ll have to kill
first."
After so thought, San Pao finally put down his gun, "Alright! I won’t kill him. Even if I have to spend my life in prison, I would never harm a hair on you, Brother Shao."
Zhang Xian studied San Pao, asking, "Why did you want to kill ?"
Now that San Pao knew that Zhang Xian had saved Brother Shao’s life, he didn’t hesitate to tell the truth, "Soone wanted
to kill you. They said that if I did, they could get
out."
Zhang Xian asked again, "Who is it?"
Scratching the back of his head, San Pao took a while before replying, "He claid to be the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, said he could get
out."
"The Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection?"
Zhang Xian smirked, "You and old Shao are brothers, right?"
San Pao nodded, "Yes."
Zhang Xian’s laughter had a cold edge to it, "Then you are ungrateful. The reason your brother is like this is all due to that secretary. You didn’t kill him, but want to kill
instead...."
"What?" San Pao’s eyes widened in surprise, "Brother Shao, what the hell is he talking about? I don’t understand."
Brother Shao looked at Zhang Xian for a mont, then recounted the whole story to San Pao.
Originally, he only knew that the boss was the one behind all this. He did not know that the mayor and the secretary were also involved. It was all from Zhang Xian that he learned all these details.
"Damn, that bastard..." San Pao, his face a mask of rage, stomped off, "I’ll go and take care of that vile creature right now."
Zhang Xian stopped him, "Hold on. For this, you’ll have to help
put on a show."
Sans Pao asked, "How?"
Zhang Xian gave a secretive smile before outlining his plan.
After listening, San Pao hesitated a little, "Brother Xian, won’t I end up back in jail if we do this?"
Zhang Xian responded, "Don’t worry, if the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection can protect you, so can I. In Tiandu, his influence might not be as great as mine."
Brother Shao, too, looked at San Pao, "San Pao, Brother Xian is right. He has a lot of influence. Otherwise, could he have taken down the secretary? And if the secretary wasn’t afraid, would he have sent you to kill Brother Xian?"
San Pao nodded, "Alright, I will secretly work against him, won’t he be in for a surprise then."
"Good, with you on our side, I don’t believe he won’t die." Zhang Xian laughed coldly, then turned to Buckteeth Zhou and said, "You go and get ready, I’ll continue treating old Shao."
Buckteeth Zhou nodded, then turned and left.
Brother Shao moved towards Zhang Xian, asking, "Um, Brother Xian...you said I could be back to normal today, is that true?"
Zhang Xian nodded, "When have I ever lied to you?"
"No...I didn’t an it like that." Brother Shao quickly clarified, "It’s just...I find it unbelievable that I can actually stand up again."
Zhang Xian laughed wryly, "Aren’t you standing here right now? What more do you want?"
Brother Shao smacked his forehead, "Sorry Brother Xian, I’m just so excited that I’m a bit confused right now, I don’t even know what I’m saying!"
"Sit down. I’ll start your treatnt," said Zhang Xian with a smile.
Brother Shao quickly took a seat.
San Pao squatted nearby, his face filled with curiosity and surprise. Back at Panlong Mountain, he had personally witnessed Zhang Xian dodging bullets, and was now filled with questions.
Shortly after, Zhang Xian concluded the treatnt.
Seeing San Pao has been watching him throughout, he asked with a wry smile, "What’s your deal? Am I really that handso?"
San Pao quickly stood up, "Um, Brother Xian, I’m just curious about how you dodged those bullets. Is it possible for a human to move that fast?"
