Chapter 332 - There would be no him (1/2)
While Long Xun was making plans on how to tackle Li Youbin and that unknown Mastermind behind this whole thing, his phone rang. Seeing the caller's ID, Long Xun frowned and he picked up the call.
”Boss!” Long Xun addressed respectfully.
”Long Xun I need you to do something for me.”
”What?” Long Xun asked.
”There is someone I need you to catch for me.”
Long Xun frowned. If it was some other time then he would have agreed to his Boss's request within a second but thinking about Li Youbin, that Master and all that he needed to do here, Long Xun was reluctant to agree.
”What happened Long Xun? You don't want to do this?” The person on the other end of the call asked when he perceived Long Xun's hesitation.
”Uh...Boss, I am in the middle of a very important thing right now, here. I cannot leave for the time being. Can't you send somebody else for this mission?” Long Xun asked carefully.
”Long Xun, if I could I would have sent somebody else already but this is a very important mission to me. The person we are dealing with is a very dangerous man and he is very hard to catch. Only you can catch him and that's why I want you to go.”
”But Boss- ”
”Long Xun, I know that your revenge on those people is important and I really didn't want to disturb you. But this is really a very important mission for me and I can only trust you with this job.”
”Fine, Boss. I'll go.” Long Xun agreed with a reluctant heart.
”You will. Thank you so much Long Xun.”
”You don't have to thank me, Boss. What I am today is all because of you.” Long Xun said gratefully.
”Hmmm. I'll send you all the details for the mission.”
”Okay.” Long Xun agreed and he put his phone down.
”What that Master? Why did the Master call you?” Housekeeper Qin asked with a frown.
”Mission.” Long Xun answered.
”What is the mission? And how long will you be gone?” Housekeeper Qin inquired.
Long Xun shrugged. ”I don't know. Boss didn't tell me,” he answered.
”Why did you agree Long Xun? We have so many things going on over here. If you leave then how will we be able to find out about that Mastermind? What if that person attacks us again?”
Seeing Housekeeper Qin's worry Long Xun sighed. He knew that his presence here is important. Leaving right now, was not a good option but he was helpless. He just couldn't reject the person who had given him this life.
Thinking about his past, Long Xun recalled that after he had run away with Housekeeper Qin from the clutches of his enemies (The Zhang, The Lins, The Tangs) he had nowhere to go. At that time, Long Xun had no money with him, he didn't have any relatives or a friend where he could find shelter for a few days nor did he have any valuable possession with him.
He remembered how Housekeeper Qin sold his watch that his(Long Xun's father) has gifted him and with that money and a little help from an unknown person they somehow managed to leave the country. After leaving the country, it was not easy for him. He realized how hard it was to live.
As a sheltered and pampered child for a wealthy family, Long Xun had never faced such a poor situation. He was born with a silver spoon so he never lacked anything. But after leaving that shelter, Long Xun saw how hard it was to get even one meal a day.
Long Xun can never forget those days where he had lived on streets, wore ragged and torn clothes, had no food to eat or place to sleep. Nobody was ready to give them any job nor they had any security in that place. He had lived in such bad places where he always had to be cautious in case of criminals, robbers, smugglers, and perverts.
