Tang Fei arranged for someone to escort Master Longbrow away, then whispered to Ye Qiu, “The War God already knows about what happened at the Long family’s ancestral tomb.”
“The War God said he’ll have people keep an eye on the Forbidden City, and he’ll notify you immediately if there’s any movement.”
“Ye Qiu, are you heading back to Jiangzhou now, or?”
Ye Qiu said, “I’m going back to Jiangzhou.”
“I’ll arrange for someone to take you back,” Tang Fei said, organising a helicopter.
Three hours later, the helicopter landed on the tarmac of Jiangzhou’s military district.
As Ye Qiu and the mountain guardian uncle stepped out of the cabin, they saw Xiao Zhan waiting.
Xiao Zhan had been there for some time.
Once they were in the car, Xiao Zhan asked, “Boss, where to?”
“Find a place to drop off the mountain guardian uncle first,” Ye Qiu said, turning to the uncle, “By the way, I forgot to ask, what’s your real name?”
The mountain guardian uncle replied, “Li Ergou.”
Ergou?
Ye Qiu glanced back at the uncle, thinking, *This old guy really does look a bit like a chow chow.*
“Xiao Zhan, Ergou will be under your wing from now on.”
“Ergou’s from the northeast, new to Jiangzhou, unfamiliar with the place. Get a few brothers to show him around first.”
“Later, find a spot to drop Ergou off.”
Ye Qiu instructed.
“Yes,” Xiao Zhan replied.
The car entered the city, and after driving for a bit, Xiao Zhan found a spot, stopped the car, and made a phone call.
Soon, two Dragon Gate disciples appeared and took Li Ergou away.
“Boss, shall I take you home?” Xiao Zhan asked.
“Not home yet, let’s go see your sister,” Ye Qiu said apologetically, “I said I’d find time to treat your sister’s eyes, but things kept piling up, sorry for the delay.”
Xiao Zhan was overjoyed, saying, “Boss, don’t apologise. If it weren’t for you, my sister and I might still be on the streets.”
“You saved us.”
“To me, Boss, you’re not just my saviour, you’re my big brother.”
Ye Qiu smiled.
“By the way, Boss, what’s the deal with this Li Ergou, is he reliable?”
Reliable?
Ye Qiu didn’t know.
“Li Ergou is from the Changbai Mountain patrol team, I haven’t known him long. As for whether he’s reliable, I’m not sure, keep an eye on him.”
Ye Qiu added, “Li Ergou knows my identity, so I doubt he’d try anything reckless.”
“But this old guy’s sharp, so watch him closely.”
“His skills are solid, comparable to a Dragon List master. If used well, he’ll be a big asset.”
Xiao Zhan nodded, “Got it.”
The car moved forward.
Ye Qiu leaned back in the seat, resting, and said, “I’ve been so busy, I haven’t paid much attention to your lives. What’s your sister been up to lately?”
Xiao Zhan replied, “My sister can’t sit idle at home, and with no one to talk to, she wanted something to do.”
“A while back, I helped her open a flower shop.”
“The shop’s doing alright, she’s full of energy every day now, like she’s on fire.”
Ye Qiu asked, “With her eyes, isn’t running a flower shop a bit inconvenient?”
Xiao Zhan laughed, “Don’t worry, Boss, I got two family members of Dragon Gate disciples to help her run the shop.”
Ye Qiu nodded, “Good.”
“Boss, rest for a bit, I’ll call you when we get there,” Xiao Zhan said.
“Alright,” Ye Qiu said, closing his eyes to rest.
Half an hour later, as the car stopped, Ye Qiu opened his eyes.
Xiao Zhan said, “Boss, you woke up so fast? I was thinking of letting you rest longer without waking you.”
“I’m not tired,” Ye Qiu said, glancing out the window and immediately spotting a flower shop on the bustling street called Cosy Flower Shop.
Outside the shop, rows of vibrant carnations were neatly arranged.
It looked quite warm and inviting.
“Boss, that’s my sister’s flower shop,” Xiao Zhan said, pointing at the Cosy Flower Shop’s sign before opening the car door.
Ye Qiu followed him out.
As they stepped into the flower shop, the smiles on their faces vanished.
Inside the shop, a young man in his twenties, dressed in a suit and wearing glasses, was harassing Xiao Yiren.
“Beauty, I’ve seen countless people, but someone as stunning as you is rare.”
“You’re like a flower yourself.”
“Your little shop can’t make much money, so how about this, come with me from now on.”
“I’ll make sure you live comfortably, you won’t have to do anything, just lie back and serve me every day, haha…”
The young man grinned lewdly.
Behind him, two bodyguards in black suits chuckled along.
Xiao Yiren’s expression was cold as she said flatly, “If you’re here to buy flowers, I welcome you. If not, please leave.”
The young man laughed, “I’ll take all the flowers here, and I want you too, name your price!”
Xiao Yiren’s face remained cold, “You’re not welcome here, please leave immediately.”
One bodyguard sneered, “Girl, it’s your blessing that our young master fancies you, don’t be ungrateful.”
The other bodyguard added, “Girl, you don’t even know who our young master is, do you?”
“Let me tell you, our young master isn’t ordinary. Those big-name actresses, models, and streamers beg for his attention, but he’s pure and doesn’t care for them.”
“For him to fancy you, that’s your luck from several lifetimes.”
“Follow our young master, and you’ll have endless wealth and glory, no need to do anything, you’ll have everything. Isn’t that better than running this tiny flower shop?”
Xiao Yiren’s expression didn’t change, “I’ll say it again, if you’re here to buy flowers, I welcome you. If not, leave now.”
The young man’s temper flared.
“Bang!”
He kicked over a vase, shouting at Xiao Yiren, “I’m doing you a favour by liking you, your ancestors’ graves must be smoking. Don’t push your luck.”
“Just a blind girl, acting all high and mighty?”
“Piss me off, and I’ll sell you to a club to serve clients…”
Slap!
Before the young man could finish, a slap sent him sprawling to the ground.
“Who hit me?” The young man scrambled up, turning to see Ye Qiu, clutching his face and roaring, “Do you know who I am? You dare hit me, you’re dead!”
The young man’s two bodyguards stepped forward, surrounding Ye Qiu, ready to strike.
Ye Qiu didn’t even glance at them, such small fry didn’t warrant his attention. He ordered Xiao Zhan, “This flower shop’s so lovely, don’t let a few rats ruin it, throw them all out.”
“And teach them a lesson.”
“Break one hand each.”
