Chapter 258
Chapter 258
The master caused the trouble; the disciple took the blame.
Heizi had no wish to be scared to death at the Amusement Park. He had pulled every string he had before finally finding a lead.
He Luxue had once obtained a bottle of 1950 Moutai during a mission.
Which was how they had arrived at today’s situation.
After thinking for a long time, Heizi turned toward the Zhuque Squad.
Boss Zhang had once said that the best way to deal with a woman was to find a group of women to deal with her.
“Your turn. She has to say yes to me today!”
Captain Zhuque nodded, picked up a loudhailer, and began calling out.
“You’re surrounded! Put down your weapon and surrender immediately!”
“Captain, that’s too official. We’re not exactly the good guys on this mission.”
Captain Zhuque fell silent for a moment, then raised the loudhailer again.
“Pretty girl! Surrender quietly, and the great Japanese officer will treat you well!”
Heizi slapped his forehead. “Act normal, will you?”
Captain Zhuque rolled her eyes.
You were forcing this young woman into something and dragging us along.
If it weren’t for the salary, do you think we’d even be here today?
“President Qiu, a melon plucked by force isn’t sweet. If it won’t work, just let it go.”
Heizi jumped down from the off-road vehicle. “Doesn’t matter if it’s sweet. As long as it quenches my thirst.”
He didn’t have any better ideas right now. Who knew when Zhang Bei would return to the little courtyard and discover a missing bottle of Moutai?
One thing was certain: his master would never admit to drinking it.
That left only one suspect. Him.
He was still young. He didn’t want to die!
Captain Zhuque sighed and tossed the loudhailer to a squad member.
“I’ll talk to her. If that doesn’t work, we’ll have to tie her up and take her back.”
She entered the bunker alone to negotiate with the hostage.
As a former special-forces soldier, she had never imagined that one day it would be the hostage she was negotiating with.
He Luxue was very beautiful. Slender and holding a rifle, she stared intently at Captain Zhuque.
“What do you want?”
“To have a talk.”
“There’s nothing to talk about. I’d rather die here than give in to that dark-skinned bastard!”
Outside the bunker, Heizi’s eyes filled with murderous intent.
That brief sentence had wounded his tender young heart deeply.
He had been born with this complexion. All the wind and sun lately had only made him darker.
“Don’t rush. President Qiu actually has a very good temperament. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent me in to talk.”
Since looks were something you were born with, Captain Zhuque could only approach from another angle.
“No way! I’ve never even dated anyone!”
Hearing that, Heizi belatedly began to realize something.
Had they… misunderstood?
Somewhat puzzled, he turned to the members of Zhuque Squad.
“Do you know what we’re here to do today?”
“Don’t worry, President Qiu. We won’t go blabbing about you abducting a bride for your bandit stronghold!”
Heizi looked at them blankly. “Abducting what bride? Aren’t we here to buy something?”
Before they came, he had only told them they were going on a mission to find a young woman named He Luxue.
He really hadn’t explained the details of that mission.
After all, with something like this, every person who didn’t know was one less risk.
If someone let it slip one day, that beast Zhang Bei might skin him alive!
“We’re not abducting a bride?”
“Abducting, my ass! He Luxue has something I want. I have to buy it.”
The air suddenly went still. From inside the little bunker came a voice filled with embarrassed indignation.
“I’m definitely not agreeing because of the Electromagnetic Cannon!”
We’re screwed!
Those words flashed in bold type through the minds of everyone outside the bunker.
Captain Zhuque was certainly capable. She had actually persuaded her.
But now the situation had become even more complicated.
In truth, He Luxue didn’t particularly dislike Heizi. She even felt a little grateful to him.
After all, he had made life easier for mercenaries from Huaxia.
It was just that bringing a whole group to capture her today was going too far.
She also knew that if he used force, there was no way she could escape.
Since Captain Zhuque was willing to talk, she might as well go along with it and accept the graceful way out.
They would only be getting to know each other, anyway. If they really were compatible, she wouldn’t mind becoming the Chairman’s wife.
Leaning against the vehicle, Heizi watched Captain Zhuque lead out a bashful young woman, his eyes full of innocence.
Hey, hey, hey! That really wasn’t what I meant!
What now?
Surely he couldn’t buy a bottle of Moutai and get a wife thrown in?
Captain Zhuque took He Luxue to the squad members’ off-road vehicle, then got into Heizi’s alone.
“She’s out. Her demands aren’t excessive. Put together a team for her and give her an Electromagnetic Cannon.”
After a brief pause, Captain Zhuque suddenly looked eager for gossip.
“What exactly do you see in her?”
Heizi stared at Captain Zhuque in bewilderment.
“Well… there’s something I need to tell you.”
“What are you up to now?”
“Actually, I think you may have misunderstood…”
Over five minutes, Heizi told the story, leaving part of it out.
Captain Zhuque’s eyes filled with resentment.
She was numb. Completely numb.
This wasn’t merely another of his antics. He had changed the whole fucking script.
It had started out as a domineering CEO and his adorable little wife.
Now it had become an unscrupulous boss swindling a woman out of her money and her virtue.
The atmosphere inside the vehicle was oppressively heavy. Heizi looked cautiously at Captain Zhuque.
“Um… could you go and talk to her again?”
“Forget it! Has filthy gutter oil clogged up your heart? If you want that conversation, have it yourself.”
Heizi’s face filled with worry.
“How am I supposed to bring it up?”
“I don’t care. My mission’s complete!”
“For fuck’s – ”
“Goodbye!”
As captain of Demon Court’s only all-female squad, Captain Zhuque had no intention of humoring the Chairman.
She pushed the door open and headed straight for another off-road vehicle.
Keep her out of this sort of nonsense.
Sending her onto a battlefield to take on a whole group would be far more straightforward.
Heizi let out a long sigh and waved to the driver.
“Back to base.”
The vehicle started up, carrying away a group of people whose thoughts were all very different.
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.
Zhang Bei opened the amusement park’s gates as usual.
Ordinarily, the people willing to turn up early and stand at the front of the queue were almost all regulars.
This time was a little different.
The visitor could be called a regular, though not quite that regular.
Like Nangong Zhi, he belonged to the category of people who had been forced into it.
Xu Kuan’s eyes blazed with anger. He wanted to grind Zhang Bei’s bones to ash and scatter them.
Unfortunately, after more than half a year running the amusement park, Zhang Bei was long since immune to looks like that.
“What brings you here?”
Xu Kuan drew a deep breath. “I understand your Amusement Park needs doctors. I even understand poaching staff. But isn’t poaching our next department head going too far?”
Zhang Bei thought for a long time before remembering that, apparently, a young woman did intend to come and work as a doctor at the amusement park.
“I didn’t! I haven’t! Don’t make things up!”
