767 Honey, You’re Finally Back (1/2)
”Someone will come sooner or later,” Jia Zizai said. ”Anxin might be in danger.”
”Don't refer to her so intimately,” Zhong Liuchuan said. ”That's my sister. She won't be in danger for the time being.”
”Are you sure about that?” Jia Zizai asked.
”The doctor gave her something to defend herself,” Zhong Liuchuan replied.
”Self-defense things? It can't be those cartilage fragrances, can it?” Jia Zizai asked in surprise.
”Yes, that's the stuff,” Zhong Liuchuan said. ”I heard that it's quite good. It will trigger when something unexpected happens.”
”Yes, it does work very well, but she is still a child,” Jia Zizai said.
”Of course, I know that,” Zhong Liuchuan said. ”I want her to study in a township primary school, which is close to here. I can take her there and bring her back every day.”
”Why don't you give me what you have, and we'll get rid of him together?” Jia Zizai suggested.
”Who? The chairman?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.
”One of the rules he made when he set up the company was to not cooperate with people from Dao,” Jia Zizai said. ”Now, he has close contacts with the people there. That means there might be some shameful activities between them.”
”Is the chairman strong?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.
”Yes, he's very powerful. He has special abilities,” Jia Zizai replied.
”What abilities?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.
”I haven't seen them,” Jia Zizai said. ”Everyone who has seen is dead.”
”How do we get rid of him?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.
”Simple, ask your master to come out and slap him to death,” Jia Zizai replied.
Lines of annoyance and helplessness appeared on Zhong Liuchuan's forehead. ”I don't want to get him involved in this. Don't mention it to him, either.”
”You can only rely on yourself,” Jia Zizai said. ”You've been making progress these days, haven't you?”
”Can you see that too?” Zhong Liuchuan was rather surprised.
”Of course. Do you think that I'm just a useless director? I still have some skills.” Jia Zizai smiled. ”Think about the things that I've just told you.”
”OK,” Zhong Liuchuan replied.
Danger had always existed. Always having to think about how to defend against it was not a preferred way to live. The situation was like having a sword hanging overhead and always holding up a shield in case it falls. He had to find a way to remove the sword.
To be honest, Jia Zizai's suggestion was tempting, but he wasn't sure about Jia Zizai's character and personality. Due to his previous reputation, he didn't want to cooperate with the man. It was like asking a tiger for its skin.
He had another plan. It was to continue quietly enduring as he had been. He would continue to practice until his abilities had reached a level strong enough to crush them. At that time, he would attack them himself and straighten them out. Unfortunately, the process might take a long time.
After having dinner, Jia Zizai laid down on the Kang and said, ”Think about it thoroughly. Don't say things you don't mean.”
Zhong Liuchuan paced around the room after he returned home. He went to his training room, picked up a Taoist Sutra given by Wang Yao, and read it in a low voice. He had to stay calm.
At the northern end of the village, a car stopped. An exquisitely dressed beautiful woman got out of the car.
An old villager with a cow looked at the woman and exclaimed, ”What a pretty girl!”
The girl asked for directions from the old man and got back in the car. The car stopped in the middle of the village. The woman got out of the car again. ”Here it is.”
She took a cellphone out of her pocket and opened it. Ring! A crisp ringtone rang out from the cellphone.
”Blue sky with white clouds floating. Lovely birds, who are they singing for? Lalala… Lalala…”
Jia Zizai was lying down singing with his eyes closed. The door suddenly opened with a creak. ”Oh, have you thought it through?”
He quickly realized something was not right. He struggled to get up and saw a beautifully dressed person standing in front of him.
”Why are you here?” he asked.
The woman took off her sunglasses and looked carefully at Jia Zizai. She reached out her hand and slapped him in the face, pushing him to the ground.
”You're quite capable, Jia Zizai, living so comfortably in such a small mountain village,” the woman coldly said. ”Did you think I wouldn't find you?”
”No, honey, you're finally here,” he replied. ”Quick, quick, untie me.”
Although the woman was furious, she untied the rope around his hands.
Mmm, muack!
He hugged the woman and kissed her hard. ”I've missed you so much!”
”Cut it out, and stop acting,” the woman said. ”Why do you smell so strong?”
”I haven't taken a bath for more than 10 days. How can I not smell?” Jia Zizai twisted his wrists. His body was still weak.
”Why are you trapped here?” she asked.
