Chapter 824: A VIP Has Come
In the middle of the night, a few men with unknown ident.i.ties were following a young lady. Anyone who saw this scene could tell that something was wrong.
When she came out of the ballroom, Ye Jian saw a few men sitting on the sofa in the lobby of the hotel. One of them had blonde hair. This was the bunch of people that she met when she came back late from her training one day in the past.
Brother Huang. This was the name she heard someone shouting at that time.
When they saw her coming out, the group of men straightened their backs and their gazes landed on her. It was obvious that they were waiting for her.
She didn’t care about these people. The most important person was Luo Ran. She needed to wait for him to come out.
She walked calmly out of the hotel and walked until she reached a crossroads. She waited for the green man to light up. The men following her closely all stood still not far away behind her. They were all waving something in their hands. It was a small dagger.
A black car stopped as the traffic light turned red. Ye Jian crossed the road as the green light on the footwalk lit up. She reached the side of the road where Hotel Caesar was at.
“Third Master, look.” The driver said softly, “It’s the young lady that left with Miss Xia the other time. She’s going to the barren land where we’re going to build our clubhouse in the future. She’s alone and there are two groups of people following her.”
Hou Zi, who just finished a business meeting and was slightly drunk, squinted his eyes and looked at the small figures following Ye Jian. He said calmly, “These people aren’t even enough for her appetizer. Send some people to watch over her. If anything happens, lend her a helping hand. Help her to clear up the scene if there’s a need to. Don’t leave any traces behind.”
The little girl was good at fighting. He also heard that she was good with guns. Unfortunately, he has never seen her using them before. They were all rumors in her school.
Even Commander Xia had seen her before but never stopped her. As long as nothing big happened, she would have no problem in becoming the daughter-in-law of the Xia family.
In that case, he should take care of her when he could.
Also, he had already asked the little girl to call him Brother Zi. Since she called him brother, how could he be a bystander?
The car drove directly to the entrance of the hotel. The doorman had already recognized his boss’s car so once the car stopped, he opened the car door and waited for his boss to come down.
The lobby manager quickly walked to the revolving door and waited for Hou Zi to come in. He said in a low voice, “Third Master, a VIP has come to the 23rd floor.” He whispered a name to Hou Zi. Before he could continue the rest of his sentence, a tall figure appeared outside the revolving door.
“…I don’t know when he came out. He’s standing behind you now.” After the lobby manager finished speaking, he placed both hands in front of his abdomen and retreated to the side.
Hou Zi turned around. He suppressed the gas in his stomach caused by the liquor and looked at the man that was walking in. The happiness in his eyes was almost seeping out. The smile on his face came from the bottom of his heart. Even though there were signs of aging at the edge of his eyes, it didn’t destroy his handsomeness.
“No wonder Yiwei says that the Southern Province has become your second home. You always come here whenever you can and spend your few days of holiday dating. Be careful, the old madam at home might get angry.”
As Hou Zi teased the man, slowly, his gaze turned sad. He rarely had this kind of emotion in his eyes. He raised his hand and placed his arms around the man that was admiring his drunk state. There was a tinge of sorrow in his smile too. “There’s something wrong with your sister. Help me to persuade her. She suddenly said that she wanted to break up with me today. I was so stunned.”
“Break up? F**k! She’s the only woman I had for the past 17 years. What right does she have to break up with me?”
