Chapter 907: The Badass Ye Jian
What words of dominance, of self-confidence!
Even an important figure of the underworld, like Hou Zi, was not spared from being stunned by her.
What a gem! So young, yet she was already able to say something so responsible and with such confidence! Everyone has to start somewhere, and none should look down on a youngster’s age!
After a brief moment, Hou Zi couldn’t help but to clap in praise, “To be able to speak out such words, Sixth Master, you’re quite the fortunate one. Brother Zi will support your decision, though you’re still quite young, even so, we’ll need to act first!”
Eliminating those who want to kill me ahead of them… that’s what he put in his heart all those years ago and the path that he had walked upon till now!
Nobody is frightening. In the end, the frightening one is one’s self, they are the ones who shattered their hope with their own hands, and they were the ones who personally threw away their lives.
There was quite a ways to go from the Venus Hotel to the location of storing the goods. They needed to drive for two hours, and the place that stored the goods was a scenic tourist area developed by Hou Zi, named the Dalang Mountain Scenic Resort.
This was a resort developed collaboratively by Hou Zi and the government. Everything they had was the latest resources imported from overseas, and they offered every sort of entertainment one could think of! It also included a spanning gold court and shooting range; solely, those two projects had attracted countless rich folk over to experience the place.
Near the end of October, the maple leaves on Dalang mountain were all crimson. The tourists who came to scour the mountain, have fun, and appreciate the maple leaves were numerous. Ye Jian1, who sat in the car, could witness the spectacular beauty of nature just the same.
Hou Zi’s private phone calls were very few; he was only called twice during the two hours, one of which was coincidentally someone inviting him to play gold in Dalang mountains and the person on the other end of the call was bringing their own client over.
“Both of you should wait for me in the villa; this person has some ties with the underworld up North, I’ll be back after giving them my greetings.” It was already past 11 a.m. when the car had driven into the resort, Hou Zi gave some instructions to the driver, then got out of the car in advance.
Xia Jinyuan2 spoke a few words during the journey. Ye Jian noticed his hand was kept in his pockets; he held the phone, awaiting the call from his comrade.
He was patiently waiting, not a trace of anxiousness could be found on his handsome face, and his calm gaze was like the castle in the sky. Sometimes when he looked up occasionally and spotted a beautiful view, he’d point it out to her. Just from how calm he was, Ye Jian was able to realize the gap between him and her.
The car drove all the way into the villa’s garage, Xia Jinyuan did not wait for the driver to get off and open his door, he pulled Ye Jian’s hand along and got out from his side of the car, “Head in first, I’ll be there in a moment.”
He gently squeezed Ye Jian’s palm, signaling her to be wary. Even though Hou Zi was someone he trusted, Ye Jian was a comrade that he would have no trouble putting his life in her hands.
After the autumn heat was gone, the days were becoming cooler by the next, and the temperature in the mountains was much lower. Ye Jian got out of the car in her skirt, and when the mountain breeze grazed over her that only wore a skirt, she couldn’t help but to shrink her shoulders down.
“Put this coat on and hurry in,” The blazer that still carried Xia Jinyuan’s residual heat draped over Ye Jian’s shoulders. Under the thin beams of sunlight, the man gazing at her from above had such a wonderful chiseled face, when the sunlight shone on his face, it radiated a warmth that filled one’s heart with peace of mind.
Ye Jian gathered the blazer over her shoulder, then followed the driver into the villa.
Reception wasn’t too good in the mountains, Xia Jinyuan walked towards the higher ground for around a kilometer before he stopped. He ever so slightly smirked at the pitiful three bars of signals on his phone, his slender fingers swiftly inputted in a series of numbers, and sent it out without so much as a comma inside.
The road snaking around the mountains wasn’t well-paved; even the vehicle he was sitting in was considerably run down. However, G3 had never once doubted the car he had boarded out from the small provincial town would break down.
