Chapter 438: Chapter 366 Call Me Brother Zheng, That Wouldn’t Humiliate You, Right?

"Yuan Baoer, why are you here?"

Startled after turning around to see who it was, Zhen Xinzhai exclaimed.

"What, are you surprised that I’m still alive?"

The woman, her body wrapped in black bandages, with only her face showing, sneered.

She was, naturally, the owner of Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse, Yuan Baoer.

"How could that be? I just heard you were sick and hospitalized. I was planning to visit you; I didn’t expect you to recover and be discharged so quickly."

Zhen Xinzhai spun his eyeballs and retorted.

"His face is really thick."

Liu Zheng couldn’t help but comment.

Had he not known what had happened, he might have thought Zhen Xinzhai was wrongly accused.

"This guy has always been like this; his brain doesn’t work well on anything except when it comes to sweet-talking his wife. Otherwise, the boss wouldn’t have been determined to divorce him only now."

Lao Si spat on the ground.

"Was I just sick? I was nearly beaten to death. You asked me to meet you in town, but you came to the bathhouse instead? Zhen Xinzhai, I wasn’t stupid before, I just wanted to live with you, playing the fool occasionally."

"Now that we’re going to divorce, you still think you can deceive me with your smooth talking that even a dog wouldn’t listen to? I wish I could blind your cunning heart!"

"Get out of the bathhouse now, or I’ll have security carry you guys out."

Yuan Baoer barked.

"What are you doing, I also have shares in this bathhouse, what right do you have to kick me out?"

Seeing that the pretense was futile, Zhen Xinzhai stopped pretending and stated directly.

"We haven’t divorced yet, and the shares of the bathhouse haven’t been divided; right now, I am the only boss of this bathhouse. Lao Si, what are you still doing standing there? Kick all these scoundrels out for me."

"If they insist on not leaving, then send them all to the boiler room to be used as fuel!"

Yuan Baoer commanded.

"Alright, brothers, time to see the guests off."

Lao Si said with a smile, as his eyebrows lifted.

Following his command, reception, front desk, bath attendants, masseurs, and others rushed out en masse, eying Zhen Xinzhai and his group with a predatory gaze.

Liu Zheng even saw two familiar faces within the group; the two elderly men also nodded at him.

The Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse, which managed to hold its ground on Bathhouse Street after going through a battle with Granny Tang, how could its employees be pushovers?

They just needed his help because Zhen Xinzhai was considered a half owner, hence the earlier hesitation.

But now that the legitimate boss was back, there were no longer any restraints.

"Wine, Lord of the Abyss, what do we do now?"

Zhen Xinzhai asked, shrinking his neck.

"Useless, you can’t even handle this little matter."

The young man in red glared at him fiercely.

If this guy had the guts to do it himself, Yuan Baoer wouldn’t have been able to hold out until someone came to rescue her.

Or if he had shown just a bit of the authority of a boss, people like Lao Si wouldn’t dare to stop him.

"Go!"

Sensing the imposing manner of the bathhouse employees, the young man in red waved his hand sharply, leading his subordinates towards the main entrance.

Yuan Baoer, surrounded by the Security Department staff, watched them coldly.

"If we were to attack now..."

The thought flickered through the young man in red’s mind.

Her injuries were real, and no amount of hospital care could have fully healed her in this short time; a mere touch from him might be enough to finish her.

As soon as he entertained that thought, a gaze shot out from the crowd of security guards.

Looking over, the young man in red saw a mummy wearing a golden crown shaped like an eagle’s head.

At that moment, the mummy was stroking the beak of the golden crown, as its eagle eyes began to emanate a golden-red glimmer, seemingly coming alive.

Feeling that aura, ancient and intense, the young man in red promptly averted his gaze.

Such a presence was the bane of his kind, the demons.

"Go."

He spoke again.

This time, he didn’t pause but walked straight out of the hall.

"Why not keep them here?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It’s not that easy to hold onto them. You’re Mr. Liu, right? How about we go to the office to talk?"

Yuan Baoer shook her head and proposed to him.

"Sure. But..."

He looked down at his dress, beneath which lay an Abyss that absolutely couldn’t be seen by anyone else.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Liu, take off your clothes, and I’ll deal with the rest."

Lao Si considerately offered.

"I’ll have to trouble you then, Manager Si."

Liu Zheng said gratefully.

"What’s there to trouble about, I’ll just get it done with my hands. Besides, Mr. Liu, if you don’t mind, just call me Lao Si, ’Manager Si’ sounds so distanced."

Lao Si fished for a better footing.

"Then why do you still call me Mr. Liu?"

He retorted.

"Liu... Brother Liu?"

Lao Si hesitated, then called out.

"Good. Next time you have some free time, come to the city and see how I’ll take care of you."

Liu Zheng patted his shoulder.

"Sure, I definitely need to see that. I’ve never experienced the city’s bright lights."

Lao Si laughed.

His words were half true, half false.

He had certainly been to the city and had his fair share of fun, but it was mainly for business or to socialize; he never actually relaxed and walked around.

After all, anyone slightly informed from outside the city knew that as much as the city’s survival environment was not as blatantly Darwinian as outside, it was also fraught with dangers.

Moreover, dangers in the city are often inescapable, unlike those outside.

You could just be spitting on the street, and end up on the Security Department’s wanted list.

Meeting Liu Zheng this time might be an opportunity.

The network king of Bathhouse Street could finally extend his connections into the city!
