438: Chapter 438: Why Isn’t the Beauty Happy?
Zhang Xiaochuan stood straight, his face stern as he greeted his boss, an act of respect.
Unlike him, Zheng Qingxia stood to the side looking somewhat reluctant.
At that moment, a luxury convoy approached from afar.
The convoy was lavish, with several vehicles paving the way and a stretched Lincoln in the middle, its windows pitch dark, making it impossible to see how many people were inside.
The convoy came to a stop, and Zhang Xiaochuan quickly walked up to the Lincoln and cautiously opened the door.
The surrounding vehicles had already enclosed the Lincoln in the center.
The others also got out of their cars, and then encircled the man in the middle.
It was clear they were professional, forming a solid barrier around him, a sniper would have found it difficult to take a shot from a distance.
The middle-aged man, of average height and short hair, exuded the aura of a big boss, this man was Tie Sanjiang.
Tie Sanjiang, draped in a black light overcoat, held a large cigar and wore photochromic sunglasses.
After getting out of the car, he glanced at Zhang Xiaochuan and said coldly, “What have you been doing, why did it take so long?”
“I’m sorry, boss, I was dealing with a minor matter,” Zhang Xiaochuan quickly apologized.
“A minor matter took so long, be more careful in the future,” Tie Sanjiang said unhappily.
Zhang Xiaochuan felt guilty and quickly nodded without speaking, as it was his fault for making the boss wait.
After speaking, Tie Sanjiang then raised his head to look at Zheng Qingxia, who was standing in the distance.
He then walked over with a smile on his face.
Zheng Qingxia stood there and did not move, only slightly smiling back, not too warmly.
“Missed me?” Tie Sanjiang quickly walked up to her, wrapped his arms around Zheng Qingxia’s waist, and kissed her face.
Tie Sanjiang, looking quite pleased, nodded and said, “You still smell so sweet.” Then in front of everyone, he boldly grabbed her buttocks, unabashedly displaying his lascivious nature.
“Baby, I’ll make sure you have a great time later,” Tie Sanjiang joked, pinching Zheng Qingxia’s chin.
Zheng Qingxia quickly nodded, seeming happy, though a hint of disappointment was in her eyes, barely noticeable unless one looked closely.
Zhang Xiaochuan just stood behind the boss, carefully observing the surroundings, naturally not noticing Zheng Qingxia’s gaze.
“Xiaochuan, go ahead to the hot springs and check the water temperature,” Tie Sanjiang said.
Zhang Xiaochuan quickly nodded and briskly walked ahead.
It wasn’t his first time here, he could probably navigate the layout even with his eyes closed.
The hot springs area was a specially reserved zone for Tie Sanjiang, normally off-limits to others.
Zhang Xiaochuan’s main purpose was to ensure the safety of the surroundings.
This was precisely what Tie Sanjiang had in mind as well.
Zhang Xiaochuan was cautious, and Tie Sanjiang even more so.
He knew he had many enemies and had to be very careful.
After confirming that everything around was secure, Zhang Xiaochuan then walked back and stood behind Tie Sanjiang.
Tie Sanjiang knew it was safe inside, and then he walked in, arm in arm with Zheng Qingxia.
Zheng Qingxia understood Tie Sanjiang’s intentions quite well; ostensibly, he let Zhang Xiaochuan test the waters, but it was also a manifestation of his distrust towards her.
With his arm around Zheng Qingxia, Tie Sanjiang continually teased her, while Zheng Qingxia tried her best to cooperate, though her heart was not in it.
On Xiang Yu’s side, he endured the pain in his body as three men took him to a room, having pretty much decided Xiang Yu was just a dumb college student.
Then each of them slapped Xiang Yu twice on the face, laughed heartily, and sat down on the side.
Today, their task was simply to watch Xiang Yu, a task that was almost too simple.
They had been here before, but such good fortune as today was rare.
In the past, they had been stationed outside, having to listen to the discordant sounds of the boss and Zheng Qingxia.
The sound was enchanting, making them itch within, but they could not act, making it incredibly frustrating.
This time, their task was to keep an eye on Xiang Yu, the foolish kid, a much easier task, so one of them began to stir.
“Brothers, how about we get a chick here?” one of them said.
The place was full of women; it was easy for them to find one.
We still have a task, hold off for now, we can find one after we go back; then you’ll have your fun,” another one said.
“What’s so bad about it?
Before, our task was to protect the boss, but now our task is to watch this idiot.
Look at his frail state, just one punch from Chuan has brought him to this; indeed, a scholar is good for nothing,” the man scoffed.
After finishing his taunt, he stood up and looked at the others with a sly smile, “I’ll call one over, and we’ll take turns on her, always leaving two to watch the idiot.
We shouldn’t run into any trouble.”
“What if Chuan finds out?” another one said, “He’ll definitely punish us.”
“Coward, Chuan is now with the boss; he doesn’t have time to come here, relax,” the man said and walked straight out.
The one called a coward merely sighed and said no more.
He, too, wanted to have a go here; the girls here were experienced and it was enjoyable to have them.
Xiang Yu was thus left lying on a bed by three people.
He lay on his side, not moving.
Just when the pain in his ribs had flared up, he had been slapped several times, and there were now traces of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Actually, after taking a punch from Zhang Xiaochuan, Xiang Yu had almost spit out blood.
But he had controlled it, knowing if he did spit blood, it would make the others suspect he had been previously injured.
At that time, the trembling of his body had been a good trick, misleading Zhang Xiaochuan into thinking he was very weak.
Poor Zhang Xiaochuan, so careful in his observations, would never guess that Xiang Yu had been injured before.
At the moment, Xiang Yu lay in bed easing the pain in his body, waiting for it to subside completely.
It had to be said that the medical skills of Liu Yuhang and his father were quite high; without their help, Xiang Yu would not have recovered so quickly.
He lay in bed quietly listening to the three men talking.
He had thought Zhang Xiaochuan would come to check on him, ensuring nothing was amiss before leaving.
Xiang Yu had planned to make his move after Zhang Xiaochuan left, but unexpectedly, the other did not come.
From what the kid just said, Zhang Xiaochuan would always be by the boss’s side.
If that was the case, Xiang Yu did not need to worry about Zhang Xiaochuan coming over.
Now, the problem before him was how to get rid of the three men currently present.
Although Xiang Yu did not consider the three a threat, if one of them shouted, everything would be ruined.
He had to take out all three at once to be able to walk out of there.
As Xiang Yu was planning his move, one of them suggested getting a girl…
