Ye Jian didn’t know how powerful Hou Zi was but she knew that in her past life, when she was working at a security company, her boss had some relationship with Hou Zi. When her boss knew that Ye Jian was being chased by a powerful person, he wanted to ask Hou Zi to protect her.
However, Hou Zi didn’t do it. Not only that, he even gave her boss a piece of advice: Send the person away. He won’t interfere.
This was enough to prove that Ye Ying came to look for Hou Zi in the past. She wanted to ask Hou Zi’s men to get rid of Ye Jian.
Her boss had no choice but to send her away because of Hou Zi’s reply. When he called her to his office, he sighed and said, “What kind of powerful person did you provoke? Even Hou Zi isn’t able to deal with the person.”
At that time, she didn’t know who Hou Zi was. She also didn’t know why her boss would contact Hou Zi because of her. She was surprised when she heard the name. Even a monkey can deal with the person? What did her affair have to do with a monkey[1]?
She only knew that the ‘hou zi’ she was thinking of and the ‘hou zi’ her boss mentioned wasn’t the same when her boss wrote the name out.
“He’s a famous person in the underground world who started from nothing. He’s neither bad nor good. He has so many assets; no one knows exactly what they are. However, the people in the underground world all know this: You’d rather offend the police than provoke Hou Zi. Ye Jian, even Hou Zi can’t help you with your business. You need to be careful.”
After he finished speaking, her old boss who was a retired soldier continued, “Of course, it might be because my relationship with Hou Zi isn’t so deep that he’s willing to help me with this.”
She didn’t know who Hou Zi was. However, from her boss’s expression, she could tell that this was a powerful character. After her boss finished introducing Hou Zi, her face turned paler.
That was why she didn’t want to stay in the security company anymore. She didn’t expect Ye Ying to have so much power at that time. She was even able to contact Hou Zi.
“Based on your capabilities, you can definitely create a bright future for yourself. However, the people you provoked are too powerful. They are able to control the entire country. Ye Jian, let me give you a suggestion. Go and find Hou Zi and let him acknowledge your capabilities. That way, you might still be able to live.”
“He has a huge hotel business. You can go to hotels to work. We’ll see if you’re lucky enough to work at a hotel that belongs to Hou Zi.”
Before she left, this was the suggestion her boss gave her. This was the reason why she persevered. If she could find Hou Zi, she would be able to live.
In her past life, she worked hard in the last few years of her life. She collected information about Ye Ying while looking for Hou Zi. At the same time, she started working at prestigious hotels to look for Hou Zi.
She went to so many cities, so many places, worked hard to learn many new things so that she could find Hou Zi. Unfortunately, she couldn’t find him.
In this life, she never thought of this person but he just appeared out of thin air. She felt emotional for a moment.
She didn’t expect the famous underground character, Third Master Hou, to be so handsome. He was 37 years old and he had a time-beaten aura around him. Melancholy could faintly be seen in his thin and long eyes that looked like a phoenix. He didn’t look like someone from the underground world. He felt more like a wandering artist.
Hou Zi was looking at Grandma Ye as she left. Then, he looked at the two thugs who staggered away. He sneered.
They were already so old, but they were still creating trouble outside. Weren’t they afraid that they would pay with their lives?
[1] Monkey and Hou Zi have the same homonym in Chinese.
