Chapter 240: I Didn’t Expect That There’ll Be Times When You Can Be So Manly
Shen Liao felt that this was a good idea. He looked at Gu Xia in satisfaction. “You said it yourself. You’ll be in charge of blowing it up when the time comes.”
Gu Xia patted his chest. “Just like I said, I’ll bomb it!”
“I didn’t expect that there’ll be times when you can be so manly.” Shen Liao snorted softly.
Gu Xia instantly widened his eyes at him. “Shen Liao, why do your words make me feel uncomfortable? Are you saying that I haven’t been manly in the past?”
Shen Liao did not answer him. He stood up and strode out.
Gu Xia hurriedly picked up his coat from the back of the chair and put it on as he chased after him. “Shen Liao, stop right there! Tell me exactly what you meant by those words just now…”
“I meant them literally.”
“Hehehe, you actually suspect that I’m not manly? Do you want to fight me? Whoever loses is not a man!”
“Wow, I’m really afraid of you. Let’s fight, then…”
“…”
Their voices trailed off as they walked further away.
After Gu Xia and Shen Liao were gone, the door of the private room beside the one they were in previously suddenly opened.
A man wearing a custom-made suit slowly walked out.
Beside him was an old man who looked to be in his fifties.
“Eldest Young Master, I’m sure I didn’t see it wrong. It was indeed Young Master Quan Jue, and the lads were from the Shen and Gu families. They entered the private room together,” the old man said to the tall man beside him.
The man looked to be in his thirties. His skin was very white, and his short black hair was neatly combed. The lines of his facial features were cold and deep, and he emitted a strong aura.
“I got it,” Quan Yan said indifferently. His hawk-like eyes glanced at the old man. “Elder Jun, tell me what you heard earlier.”
The man had long legs and he walked very quickly. However, the elder beside him also walked speedily and followed him steadily.
“They were talking about a woman,” Jun Hongbo said without turning red or panting. “That Shen and that Gu lads were warning Young Master Quan Jue not to bully that woman and to treat her well. That woman is the daughter of the Chi family, Chi Jiao, whom you’ve investigated previously. Oh, right. That Shen and that Gu lads also said that if the Quan family ever dares to bully Chi Jiao, they’ll blow up the Quan family’s old residence.”
Quan Yan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him. “Are you sure it’s Chi Jiao? Did you hear wrong?”
According to his investigation, the eldest daughter of the Chi family grew up in the mountains, and she had never been to Shang Jing. How did she manage to hook up with Shang Jing forces?
“Young Master, don’t worry about my hearing. Although I’m old now, I can still hear them clearly through the wall,” Jun Hongbo said with a smile.
Quan Yan smiled and said to him, “Capture that girl for me.”
Jun Hongbo was stunned as he looked at him in confusion. “Young Master, that girl isn’t simple. Are you sure you want to make a move on her so recklessly?”
“She’s just a woman.” Quan Yan smiled disdainfully. “Even if I want to touch her, what can Quan Jue do to me? Can Shen and Gu really blow up our old residence? Are their parents all dead?”
Near the end of his sentence, his mocking tone was already filled with ruthless killing intent.
Jun Hongbo was already used to Quan Yan’s temperamental nature. Therefore, he immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.
