Bodyguard of the Goddess

Xiao Zheng smiled, and said meaningfully: "If your father really knew people, he shouldn't have left Chen Chong and Li Mubai in harm's way."

"Father is getting old, it is inevitable that there will be times when his eyesight is dim." Shen Manjun smoothed things over for Fourth Master Zhao, looking at Xiao Zheng charmingly. said softly. "But he fell in love with you at this age. At least it proves that he is not completely blind."

Xiao Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Maybe it's because he's taken a fancy to me."

"I believe in my father's vision." Shen Manjun paused every word. "Believe in my own eyes."

Xiao Zheng was speechless, so he took out a cigarette and lit it. to ease embarrassment.

Seeing that Xiao Zheng was unwilling to discuss this topic in depth, Shen Manjun didn't go deep into it, and changed the subject: "I remember, you and Ye Shiguan are buddies who have known each other since childhood."

"Well. We've known each other for almost ten years." Xiao Zheng spit out a smoke ring quietly, his eyes were quite depressed.

He's not a man who likes to talk about his brother. Even if you can and are even willing to go through fire and water for your brother. But whether in private or in public, he is not a man who talks about his brother's loyalty all day long. But if he didn't say anything, it didn't mean he didn't value brotherhood. Like a biting dog that doesn't bark. A dog that likes to bark, but when things happen, it is quicker than anyone else.

The example is inappropriate, but it can describe Xiao Zheng very well.

But the brothers who have been brothers for many years now have many conflicts because of their selfish desires, and they even meet each other in battle. нéi Уāп Gê

It would be a lie to say that there is no emotion at all.

"Then you are still openly hostile to Ye Shiguan?" Shen Manjun asked emotionally. "And for a woman like me?"

"What's the matter with you?" Xiao Zheng frowned and said in a deep voice.

"In many people's mouths, I am a woman with a bad reputation." Shen Manjun teased with slightly stretched brows and eyes. "Including your real wife."

"Okay, I have eyes to see." Xiao Zheng continued a cigarette and said slowly.

Shen Manjun leaned forward slightly, and asked with charming eyes: "Do you really think I'm good?"

A burst of fragrance poured into his nostrils, Xiao Zheng's heart fluttered slightly, he couldn't help taking two steps back, and said with a smile: "At least she is a loyal woman."

"It's just about loyalty?" Shen Manjun said quietly.

"You have to know that loyalty is not a useful evaluation for women."

"Still pretty. Sexy." Xiao Zheng stepped back again. Shen Manjun approached step by step, refusing to relax even an inch.

"What else?" Shen Manjun almost pressed against Xiao Zheng's face, and said with a breath.

"And—" Xiao Zheng asked with a playful smile in his eyes. "Do you really want to hear it?"

"Listen." Shen Manjun's red lips pursed slightly, extremely alluring.

"Your mouth smells so strong of overnight coffee." Xiao Zheng said with squinted eyes.

"—"

Shen Manjun was so angry that he swung his fist at Xiao Zheng: "Bastard!"

...

A very private clubhouse. Except for members holding a club pass, ordinary people are not even eligible to enter the restaurant on the first floor of the club unless they are invited.

In the most secluded room in the clubhouse, the environment is also the most secluded. A Jiangnan woman wearing a red cheongsam is skillfully cooking a pot of Dahongpao, a brown tea set, curling cigarettes, and an antique box style. Being in it, it seems to have returned to the Song Dynasty or even a long time ago. The extravagant private life of the princes and nobles back then.

In the box, apart from the cheongsam girl making tea, there are two men in well-fitted suits. One is Ye Shiguan, the most powerful person in the world of Mingzhu, and the other is Li Mubai, the military advisor of the Zhao family who has cooperated with Ye Shiguan for several years.

Li Mubai is a well-educated and highly educated brother on the road. Ye Shiguan was an illiterate who didn't finish junior high school. So it's actually a bit embarrassing and awkward for two big brothers on the road to meet and drink tea on such an occasion. But in Li Mubai's view, the young man sitting opposite him, the young man who even Zhao Siye had a headache, was quite a ruthless person.

Didn't graduate from junior high school?

Whether Ye Shiguan is in the business world, or even dealing with senior officials of the Pearl, he does not belong to Zhao Siye, and is even better.

Otherwise, how can the current Ye Shiguan suppress the old leader Zhao Siye? Otherwise—how could he have seen Ye Shiguan's potential three years ago, made friends with him, and secretly colluded with him at the risk of huge risks?

Just drinking tea. It is not modest to say that Ye Shiguan's method of making tea is much better than the cheongsam woman in front of me who has been trained for several months and then came out to work.

"Go." Li Mubai took out a stack of money and handed it to the cheongsam woman. "No one is allowed in without my order."

"Yes, Boss Li." The cheongsam woman stood up with a smile on her face, took the money away from the world, and exited the room.

As soon as the woman left, even the sound of making tea in the room fell silent. It seemed unusually quiet.

"Boss Ye." Li Mubai took a sip of the big red robe and said solemnly. "You did what happened last night?"

"That's what I want to ask you too." Ye Shiguan sniffed the fragrance of tea without haste, took another sip, let the fragrance of tea linger on the tip of his tongue, and took the third sip, enjoying the aroma in his mouth . It fits the way of tea tasting and is much more professional than Li Mubai's tea drinking process.

"You want to ask me?" Li Mubai frowned and said in a deep voice. "What do you mean?"

"It's what I want to ask you too." Ye Shiguan put down the teacup and said calmly.

Li Mubai's face changed slightly, and he said displeasedly: "Ye Shiguan, don't play charades with me. I'm already very tired. I'm not in the mood to play games with you."

"You think I'm playing charades with you. But I think you're acting in front of me." Ye Shiguan said unhurriedly. "Zhao Laosi fell down without warning. I didn't hear any news. And just one breath away, Zhao Laosi couldn't get up again. Tell me, should I believe you?"

"You doubt me?" Li Mubai said angrily.

"Aren't you also suspicious of me?" Ye Shiguan asked with a smile.

"He's dead, what good does it do me?" Li Mubai said in a deep voice.

"He's dead, and you are the real beneficiary. Instead, I made a wedding dress for you for free." Ye Shiguan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Nonsense." Li Mubai pouted. "Just one Chen Chong is enough to give me a headache."

"Him?" Ye Shiguan said lightly. "The dignified Zhao family's military adviser, when did you put such an idiot in your eyes?"

Li Mubai had a flash of inspiration, as if he had realized something, he stared at Ye Shiguan coldly: "You instigated Chen Chong?"

"At first he wanted to attack by force." Ye Shiguan narrowed his eyes and said.

"Strike?" Li Mubai sneered. "If he dares to come hard. I can prevent him from seeing the sun tomorrow."

"So I taught him a smarter way. But unfortunately, he is too stupid. He is famous, has people, and even has a good momentum. He can be kicked out by a little girl." Ye Shiguan said lightly. "What an idiot."
