As time goes by, the customer volume gradually increases.
As to the reason why she didn’t ask Shen Mo and the other two teammates to come along, Xia Lu doesn’t say anything. Gao Ge has no desire to ask her either.
The answer is obvious.
Shen Mo, Wang Zhe and the other team member are not on the same boat with them.
To bring them here won’t be of any help. It’s good enough that they don’t make any trouble.
Actually, Gao Ge is not interested in the guy called Mo Ran.
What intrigues him is the sword of Mo Ran.
As a swordsman, although he hasn’t started practicing sword, he still needs to find a good sword for himself.
Xiao Linran’s sword, Boli, is quite great, but Xiao Linran values it more than his life. Gao Ge can never obtain it. Only if Xiao Linran passes away, can Gao Ge inherit the sword as his student. Yet, he is not willing to wait for that long!
Hence, he has to
A man wearing a black sports suit is walking slowly towards them.The man in white suit and his men all stand straight subconsciously, looking towards the man who is holding a long sword.Everyone puts on a confused look.Yet, Gao Ge appears so excited.“Here he comes!”Xia Lu is poker-faced.“Did you know he would show up?”“I didn’t know.”“So you were merely chancing your luck?”“Yes.” Xia Lu answers.Gao Ge is relieved.In this case, he and Xia Lu are quite lucky indeed.It is not proper to say they finally find the target after waiting. They are just being lucky. Every dog has its day.As the man approaches, Gao Ge and Xia Lu want to go forward when they hear the man in white suit shout, “It’s you!”His voice is full of fear.It’s not difficult to guess they must know each other.
Xia Lu flies into a rage.She turns around to gaze at Gao Ge.“You acted so slowly. See? He has run away!”Gao Ge feels a bit hopeless.It was not that he acted slowly. If the man wants to escape, Gao Ge can’t make certain of keeping the man here because of the sword!Nevertheless, he won’t choose to talk back to Xia Lu at the moment.It is just not different from making trouble for himself.He grins and says to Xia Lu, “Actually, we don’t need to worry about that for now.”Xia Lu stares at him confusedly.She is probably wondering on what grounds Gao Ge can feel so weirdly confident.Gao Ge coughs, pointing at the man in white suit who is still lying on the ground, “The guy called Mo Ran has taken him as the target. As long as we keep an eye on him, we will surely find Mo Ran.”Xia Lu is a bit relieved and slightly nods her head.
Things go on as expected by Gao Ge.After Liu Rui comes to himself subsequent to the vanishing of the anesthetic effect, Liu Dan, who learns about what happened from his son, gets out of the ward quickly.Seeing Gao Ge and his friends sitting at the door, he puts on an unusual look.“Mr. Liu, please take a seat first.” Gao Ge says calmly.Liu Dan agrees and then sits down next to Gao Ge.“Sorry about the ridiculous fuss today.” Liu Dan says, “What’s your name?”“Gao Ge.” Gao Ge says, and then asks curiously, “How do you know I did ridicule that?”Xia Lu is speechless.So is Shen Mo.Can Gao Ge just talk like a normal person?Even Liu Dan, who has gone through a lot of ups and downs, is shocked and flurried.Wow…It’s so difficult to talk with this brat…He coughs for a while to cover his embarrassment.A
Liu Dan just leaves without hesitation.“Girl, go to buy some meals for me.” The woman suddenly says to Xia Lu.Xia Lu is a bit surprised, “Are you asking me to do it?”“Yes!” The woman says unhappily, “What’s wrong? Now that you’ve taken the money, aren’t you supposed to work?”Xia Lu laughs.She gives a sheer laughter.“I will give the money back to you. We are even.” Xia Lu says.“Don’t. Please don’t. Sister-in-law, my mom is drunk and talking nonsense!” Liu Rui becomes anxious right away and hastens to say.The woman is shocked.“Rui, what are you talking about...”She is interrupted before she finishes talking.“Mom, don’t be silly. My brother and sister-in-law are quite awesome. They are willing to stay to protect me, which is merely out of kindness. Do you know who they are? They are cultivators! Moreover, they are great cultivators! A
Gao Ge wants to hear more but the two persons seem to notice something so they just pass the topic and start to talk about Gao Ge and Xia Lu.When it is time for a midnight snack, the young man brings Gao Ge and Xia Lu to have a meal in the restaurant outside the hospital.Gao Ge and Xia Lu wanted to reject the offer. After all, they are the bodyguards of Liu Rui, but Liu Rui has no problem with that. Instead, he asks them to have a nice meal. In this case, they don’t have the reason to say no then. Furthermore, Shen Mo and his two sidekicks are still guarding in the hospital. Even if Mo Ran comes, chances are little that he wants to pass these three persons to kill Liu Rui.Thinking of that, Gao Ge starts to envy Liu Dan.After all, he is a businessman, who has a good judgement. With one payment, he can hire five people working for him. If he finds out about this, he must be happy with tears.After sitting in the boot
Liu Rui is discharged that night, probably because he realizes that the hospital is also a dangerous place.Gao Ge doesn’t assert again that Mo Ran will never come to make trouble within a short period of time. After all, even if he says it, others will not believe him. Moreover, it is not absolutely right.Just as he said before, as long as Mo Ran was sane, he would not rush to the hospital to kill Liu Rui.However, the fact gives him a slap in the face, making him realize that he cannot be too arbitrary.Gao Ge and Xia Lu also return to the Liu’s villa.Liu Rui’s mother is okay. Although she was thrown far away, Xia Lu held a good sense of propriety while kicking her. She knew she shouldn’t make any big trouble at the moment. Hence, Liu Rui’s mother only felt a bit painful after being in a coma for a moment.Sitting in the spacious living room, Gao Ge takes up the fruit tray from the desk and then watche
In the dark basement, it is very quiet. Only the drip sound can be heard. Maybe it is because one of the taps is not tightly switched off or because the pipe in the wall breaks. The air in here smells musty and moist.With only a lamp hung on the ceiling, the light appears rather dim.There is no wallpaper on the wall or floor on the ground. The ground is only covered with cement. Under a wooden bed, there are bottles and jars that have labels of various beer brands. Some of the bottles are still filled of 1/5 of the liquid, which is mixed with the musty smell.A man is lying on the bed, curling himself and shivering. His face is pale with sweat on the forehead. The sweat just looks like the steam on the pot cover when the water is boiling.He seems to fall into a semicoma, calling a girl’s name non-stop.His face is full of pains.Even in such a state, he still has his sword placed next to him, as if only
In the café where the atmosphere is quite fresh.Xia Lu is stirring the cream on the coffee with a spoon.She frowns seriously as if she encounters a Gordian knot.In front of her is sitting a middle-aged man who is poker-faced. He has finished all that he wants to say. He is waiting for Xia Lu’s response.After a while, Xia Lu starts to speak.“I need some more time.”“Miss…”“I said, I need some more time.”The middle-aged man sighs and nods his head slowly, “I will report this to Master but the Thunder Sect has been exerting pressure on us…”“Hehe, so what?”“Miss, if Young Master is still at home, we surely can have more confidence but now, we can’t.” The middle-aged man says seriously.Xia Lu is a bit dejected, nodding her head and waving her hand, “You leave first. I will sit here for one more while.”The middle-aged man st
