Chapter 484: Chapter 482 Intimacy

Although this group of people was Qian Dahao’s weakness, if not handled well, they could turn into a sharp blade thrusting towards oneself.

He would not gamble on human nature, allowing the success or failure of the matter to rest on someone else.

Therefore, he made that suggestion.

If Madam Yu wasn’t foolish, she would certainly agree.

Having Boss Ma temporarily in Song Chongjin’s hands was more beneficial to him than in Qian Dahao’s.

So after only a moment’s consideration, she agreed.

And Song Chongjin’s intent to detain Boss Ma and his party wasn’t solely to grasp leverage over the Qian Family; he had other considerations as well.

This group led by Boss Ma, valuing loyalty highly and with fierce temperaments, although they were hot potatoes, if he could subdue them for his own use, it would be a significant aid for the future.

His own power was still too weak at present; he was in need of more hands.

Last night, he had sent them to the courtyard once occupied by Hunter Qin and Shopkeeper Zhang and had spent the whole night dealing with Boss Ma. Although Boss Ma hadn’t relented yet, his expression hinted at a trace of interest.

This time, Song Chongjin didn’t hide anything and laid out all of his concerns and plans to Wang Yongzhu, telling her everything in detail.

It was also to seek Wang Yongzhu’s opinion.

Wang Yongzhu pondered for a moment, her gaze sizing up Song Chongjin; ordinary people would want to stay away from the likes of Boss Ma and his group, yet Song Chongjin actually wanted to employ them for his own use.

Could it be that he was really involved in the kind of beheading business that Old Granny Zhang was worried about?

Seeing that Wang Yongzhu hadn’t spoken for a long time, Song Chongjin thought she disagreed. Although a bit regretful, he always knew what was more important; for the sake of some bandits who hadn’t yet become his subordinates, to let Yongzhu be unhappy was a stupid act he was determined not to commit.

Therefore, he immediately said, "Of course, this is just what I think. If you don’t agree, we can just wait a few days until Madam Yu has the Qian Family settled. Then we can send the people back and let Madam Yu worry about it."

When Wang Yongzhu heard him say this, she immediately smiled, "I have no objections. It’s just that Boss Ma and his group are difficult to tame and of a sensitive identity. If you really want them to work for you, you must first resolve the issue of their identities, and thereafter keep a tighter leash on them. Otherwise, these people act without reservation and if they really commit some wrongdoing, I’m afraid you won’t be able to escape involvement."

Since Song Chongjin had been frank with her about his plans, making an effort to bridge the gap between them, she too should reciprocate, pointing out the risks of this undertaking.

Even if Song Chongjin was fully aware of these risks, her speaking them aloud was still a sign of her care and concern.

Although Song Chongjin and she were already betrothed and their affection had reached an intimate level, in reality, both were aware that they didn’t know each other well enough, with more aspects requiring adjustment.

Though Wang Yongzhu initially resisted Song Chongjin as a mission target, due to the mission, they had to be together.

But from another perspective, since the outcome was already fixed and unchangeable, why not make the process a bit more interesting and affectionate?

She had seen all of Song Chongjin’s performances during these days; he was far better than other people from this time and space.

To regard it as finding an agreeable and intimate friend on this bizarre journey through another world was not a bad idea.

After adjusting her mindset, Wang Yongzhu relaxed somewhat, and there was a slight change in her attitude.

Song Chongjin was not only not foolish but exceptionally perceptive; he quickly noticed the rare hint of affection in Wang Yongzhu’s recent words.

His heart started to thump wildly, suppressing his excitement, he grabbed Wang Yongzhu’s hand, "Yongzhu, did you... were you just worried about me?"

The Yongzhu he knew was someone with a keen sense of boundaries, appearing soft but in reality, just like him, keeping people at arm’s length.

But while he used his icy demeanor to deter people, Yongzhu, who seemed to smile warmly at everyone, actually had only Old Granny Zhang in her heart within the entire Wang Family.

And he had to admit, although they were already engaged, Yongzhu probably hadn’t truly opened up to him.

He was aware that the things he had done in the past made it already remarkable that Yongzhu could accept him again, so he said nothing and just quietly waited for the day she would truly embrace him with her heart.

He hadn’t expected happiness to arrive so suddenly.

Wang Yongzhu only felt the hands holding hers trembling with excitement, and when she looked up to meet Song Chongjin’s enthusiastic eyes, a wave of embarrassment arose, and she shook off his hand, "In broad daylight, all this pulling and dragging, what does it look like? Let go now, don’t let anyone see!"

Seeing Wang Yongzhu avoid answering, Song Chongjin felt his heart floating in the clouds.

With courage from who knows where, he pulled Wang Yongzhu into his arms, "We are already engaged, what does it matter if someone sees? Moreover, this is at home, and there are no outsiders!"

With the beauty in his arms, a warm and subtle fragrance wafts into his nostrils; the person in his embrace is soft-bodied, with soft skin and soft hair, tempting him to meld her into his very bones.

Song Chongjin’s arms tightened involuntarily, wishing time could just stop at this moment.

Wang Yongzhu struggled slightly, only to find that Song Chongjin’s embrace grew tighter. Though she could have broken free with a bit of force, after some thought, she relaxed her body and allowed Song Chongjin to hold her.

Song Chongjin hadn’t slept all night and had rushed back to Qilidun early in the morning, his body still carrying the dampness of the mountain mists, mixed with his cool masculine scent, which surprisingly felt comforting.

The two of them leaned against each other in silence.

After a while, Wang Yongzhu felt the weight on her growing heavier and the arms holding her loosening, then Song Chongjin’s head gently slumped onto her shoulder, his warm breath stirring the loose hairs by her ear.

Wang Yongzhu found it both funny and irritating. How could she not understand that Song Chongjin had fallen asleep while holding her?

Could it be that she had some sort of hypnotic effect?

While inwardly mocking, Wang Yongzhu’s actions were decisive; she guided Song Chongjin to lie down on the bed, removed his shoes, covered him with a blanket, and then quietly closed the bedroom door on her way out.

At that moment, the scene outside the Wang Family’s doorway was bustling. The commotion that broke out yesterday, especially Old Granny Zhang summoning the Wang Family Clan People with more than a dozen of them rushing over with hoes and spades, everybody knew something big had happened.

There weren’t a few who followed to watch the excitement, but seeing how fierce Boss Ma and his group were, they all stayed back at a safe distance.

Later when Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu appeared, even blood was seen.

And there were faint mentions of the Qian Family, something about festering grudges.

The villagers with fainter hearts dared not approach, fearing they’d attract trouble themselves.
