Chapter 166 - 166 166 Ning Xiaolu Suddenly Disappears

166: Chapter 166 Ning Xiaolu Suddenly Disappears 166: Chapter 166 Ning Xiaolu Suddenly Disappears Zhang Hongbo, despite his young age, was articulate and popular with the girls.

In this hotel, where the female guest ratio outnumbered the male, it was easy for him to win girls’ favor.

Shi Jian approached with a complex expression, watching Zhang Hongbo wearing his pink sunglasses, squinting his eyes and basking in the moment.

Shi Jian coughed twice.

Only then did Zhang Hongbo open his eyes and lazily looked around; upon seeing Shi Jian, he jumped to his feet in a jolt.

“Shi Jian, has Xiang Yu arrived?” Zhang Hongbo looked behind Shi Jian expectantly but did not see Xiang Yu.

Instead, he saw a young man about his own age standing there.

“He hasn’t come.

I came to see how you two were doing,” Shi Jian said.

“Fantastic, these two are my girlfriends,” Zhang Hongbo boasted somewhat.

Shi Jian glanced at the two girls who indeed possessed stunning beauty.

Though Zhang Hongbo wasn’t very handsome, his tastes were certainly spot on.

“And Xiao Xuan?” Shi Jian asked.

“He’s training on the mountain opposite,” Zhang Hongbo pointed across the lake to an open area where Xiao Xuan could vaguely be seen holding a wooden spear with a rock hanging from it, holding a pose.

“Xiao Xuan is good material,” Wu Jing came over quite pleased, looking towards the distance.

“Of course, you wouldn’t expect less from his brother,” said Zhang Hongbo, full of pride.

“Go stand over there,” Wu Jing glared at Zhang Hongbo, then pulled Shi Jian towards the hotel.

Wu Jing saw that both Xiao Xuan and Zhang Hongbo were rare talents, but Xiao Xuan was diligent in training while Zhang Hongbo spent his days fluttering around women with his glib tongue, much to Wu Jing’s dismay.

Zhang Hongbo knew that Shi Jian had important matters to discuss with Wu Jing, so he didn’t follow them and continued lounging in the recliner, humming a tune.

Inside the hotel, the two entered a room where Shi Jian briefly explained the situation to Wu Jing.

When they came out, Ouyang Tian was still standing there, not yet used to the environment.

Shi Jian, a bit envious, patted Ouyang Tian on the shoulder, “You’d better make a good impression while you’re here.”

“Why don’t you stay here until tomorrow before you leave?” Wu Jing suggested to Shi Jian.

Shi Jian considered the setting, then shook his head and sighed, “I really wish I could stay here longer, but…” He mysteriously looked at Wu Jing, “How about I discuss with Xiang Yu and we switch places?”

Wu Jing cleared his throat and replied, “Be careful on the road.”

Shi Jian scoffed, then punched Wu Jing playfully, and both burst into laughter.

At that moment, a beautiful woman approached Shi Jian, “Hey handsome, are you new here?

Come have a drink with us?”

Suddenly, Shi Jian felt an uncontrollable stirring within him…

After they left, Xiang Yu sat in the lobby.

Shui Yue had gone to work, and only the three of them were there.

“How do you plan to help me?” Ouyang Xiu looked at Xiang Yu.

“How do you want me to help you?” Xiang Yu replied with a smile.

“Ouyang Ke is not just a simple businessman, he has a group of desperadoes under him.

If he knew I was here, he would stop at nothing to come for me,” Ouyang Xiu said with some concern.

Although he knew Xiang Yu was someone from the underworld, he didn’t know the extent of Xiang Yu’s abilities, nor whether he could stand up to Ouyang Ke.

But in his view, Xiang Yu was most likely no match for Ouyang Ke.

Ouyang Ke had been in business for so many years and, although always under his father’s thumb, he had covertly built up his own power base.

The accumulation over these years was not something Xiang Yu could contend with, especially considering Xiang Yu’s youth, almost the same age as himself.

How could he be a match for Ouyang Ke?

Therefore, Ouyang Xiu’s suggestion was that they secretly investigate Ouyang Ke and, once they had enough evidence, Xiang Yu and some relevant departments should act together to completely take down Ouyang Ke.

No matter whether Ouyang Ke ends up in jail or sentenced, it would be a satisfactory resolution.

After listening, Xiang Yu simply nodded without committing himself.

After all, Ouyang Xiu was not an underworld figure; his approaches were all considered from a legal perspective.

Little did he know that, given Ouyang Ke’s current status, he was someone these related departments would try to curry favor with; they wouldn’t really investigate him.

But Xiang Yu didn’t point this out; he didn’t want to dampen Ouyang Xiu’s enthusiasm right from the start, simply nodding and saying, “From now on, just stay close to me, Xiang Yu.

Until we have thoroughly figured things out, you’re my man, you stay by my side.

Nobody dares to bully you, nor can anyone kill you.”

Although Ouyang Xiu was skeptical, he still nodded.

He didn’t know where Xiang Yu got his confidence from, but it seemed this was the only way now.

“What if Ouyang Ke finds out I’m with you?” Ouyang Xiu asked worriedly.

“No worries.

If he doesn’t come looking for us, we’ll go looking for him.

By the way, Shui Yue mentioned last time that she has something on Ouyang Ke.

You can talk to her after work.

Also, apart from at night, try not to spend too much time with her.

You’re a dangerous person now; don’t involve others,” Xiang Yu said simply.

Ouyang Xiu nodded, already forming a plan in his mind, now holding a new appreciation for Xiang Yu; he was impressed.

While Xiang Yu and Ouyang Xiu were discussing their plans, a phone call from Tie Zhuzi came through.

“Brother Yu…” Tie Zhuzi sounded somewhat despondent.

Suddenly, Xiang Yu had a bad premonition, “Has something happened to Ning Xiaolu?” he asked.

“Usually, after she finishes washing up she comes to work.

She hasn’t shown up today even now.

I’m a bit worried, I’ve searched the whole logistics center and haven’t found her.

I checked all the surveillance footage and found that at three o’clock this morning, Ning Xiaolu drove away alone, I don’t know where she went, and her phone’s out of reach now, already turned off,” Tie Zhuzi reported anxiously.

Since Xiang Yu had assigned him to protect Ning Xiaolu, it indicated that she was in danger recently, and now she had vanished, making Tie Zhuzi instantly anxious.

“Are you sure she drove off on her own?” Xiang Yu pressed.

“Absolutely sure, I’ve checked every place here with a camera, she was alone,” Tie Zhuzi responded.

“Stay there, I’m on my way,” Xiang Yu said and then started heading outside.

Suddenly, he turned his head to Ouyang Xiu and asked, “Want to come along?”

Without any hesitation, Ouyang Xiu nodded and took the car keys from Xiang Yu, walking ahead.

Since he was now playing the role of Xiang Yu’s underling, he ought to prove his worth, not just freeloading every day.

Ouyang Xiu drove the car, Long Wu sat in the passenger seat, and the three of them headed towards the logistics center…

Tomorrow might be the day we go behind a paywall, so today I’m releasing a burst of chapters, hoping everyone enjoys reading them.

I know many friends might leave since it will cost money to continue reading.

I don’t insist on keeping anyone; after all, it involves a fee.

Thank you so much to all the friends who have been with me for so long; I hope for your continued support…”
