Chapter 974 – Relationships Can’t Be Forced.
Walking away from his elder brother, Jing Shaoqing halted in his steps at the corner, away from the sight of Jing Wei Jin.
Turning around he looked at his brother. Though he has used all his knowledge earlier, he was still not sure if his brother would give in to his request of visiting the old man. He wanted him to go but at the same time, he felt it wasn't right to force him into it.
After all, it was just the last time he heard from his brother that relationships can't be forced!
He waited as from a distance, he kept his gaze at Jing Wei Jin. He believed that whether he would go to meet Pan Hong or not, it would be all clear in a few moments. But right when he was waiting to see the response of his brother, a pair of footsteps approached from behind.
"Shaoqing! There is …"
"Shushhh!! Stay quiet or you would be heard." Before the person could relay the information, he was there for, his words were shushed with a glare. And that one glare was enough to let the person know that he has to maintain a serious silence.
Once put him to silence, Jing Shaoqing turned again to look at his brother while asking in a whispering tone, "Did you earlier go to check on Boss? Was he sleeping?"
The person didn't reply. He refused to give up the silence he was asked to keep as he knew a little wrong pitch of his voice can put his life to an end. But when he saw the young man turning to look at him, he immediately sprouted. "Ahh, that when I went to check on him in the room. He was sitting on the couch near the window and looking out at the sun."
His voice was even below whisper but at the proximity where Jing Shaoqing stood, he heard him well.
He nodded to him as slowly and slowly, his lips curled up in a smile that confused the person standing beside him.
"You are smiling. Any special reasons?" He asked.
And Jing Shaoqing gestured to him to look at the front where Jing Wei Jin was already making his way in the direction of Pan Hong's room.
His effort didn't go to waste. Finally, his brother agreed to visit the man. Now, it doesn't matter if things would go well between them or not. But at least there would be no regrets left behind.
"Is he finally visiting boss now?" The person who has earlier come realized only after he saw Jing Wei Jin walking his walk away.
Jing Shaoqing nodded before turning to also give an affirmative hum to him.
"Great! It's good that he gave up on his stubbornness. It was useless since Boss has treated him so well always." The person said, his tone having a tone of slight disdain that immediately pricked on Shaoqing's nerves.
"He has his reasons. And from when a mere lackey of our gang started to poke nose in our personal issues."
"I was … I was just …" The person regretted the very moment. Not just because Jing Shaoqing looked intimidating but for, he also knew what position the boy has suddenly climbed up to.
Jing Shaoqing didn't pay any heed to his stuttering. Ignoring his explanation, he interrupted to ask, "What were you here for earlier?"
And the person immediately took the narrow door to escape. "Ah, that I was here to inform you something. Ms. Zhen has come to meet Boss. What should we say to her"?
He said and his words instantly changed everything in the demeanor of the young boy. "Why is she here? How come she got the address of this place?" He asked sternly and the man didn't have any more option but to reveal.
"That, Shaoqing, we didn't want to bring her here. But she has been very frequent to our old base. So, to prevent her from creating any further problem we had no other option but to take her here."
Jing Shaoqing's fists clenched on the sides as glowering at the person, he made it very clear. "Don't bother with her presence. In no way I would let her toxic air come near our Boss again. Tell her to leave straight away as Boss is not in the situation to meet her." He said but the person didn't move. He had a helpless expression plastered over his face.
"Shaoqing, I don't think that would be helpful. That woman is simply not hearing us. She is all adamant about meeting the Boss. She is even threatening us."
"Threatening us! Heh! She really got guts to do that."
Zhen Qinrou has never been in the good books of anyone in the group. Though none knew about her exact relation with Pan Hong, everyone could always see the selfishness and arrogance she held in herself. If not for Pan Hong's instruction from before, none would have ever cared to give a face to her. But since that woman held so much command over their Boss, they could only cater to her demands.
"Shaoqing, we cannot forget that Boss has …" still not forgetting Pan Hong's orders for Zhen Qinrou, the man tried to remind him about it as well.
But Jing Shaoqing didn't give him any chance to do that. "This place is not our previous domain. This is the mansion that my brother has bought, so in no way those same orders would be prevalent here. That woman simply does not deserve to see our Boss. And I will not let her presence toxicate his recovery. She wants to threaten us! Fine, let me see how well she can threaten me."
"Shaoqing, that …"
"Let's go. Currently, my brother has gone to meet Boss and soon, it will also be his medicine time. We need to handle her fast".. Jing Shaoqing said before walking ahead of the person, without giving any heed to the words he was saying before.
