Chapter 367: Xiao Fu and Qi Qi

Central Zhongben Building

Chen Shengli felt heavy-hearted, but showed nothing on his face.

Wearing his usual smile, he reported to Zhongben Ying er: "Mr. Zhongben, I've received word that tonight someone will bring that old fool to claim the bounty."

"You say this sum will be paid in full, or will you tamper with it?"

Zhongben Ying er knelt at the tea table, sipping tea slowly.

He set down the teacup, glanced at Chen Shengli, his eyes filled with displeasure.

Is this guy an idiot?

Do we even need him to say that?

No one can take this bounty; who would dare take the Zhongben family's wealth?

"You don't need to worry about this; I gave you money to share my burdens, not to give me advice."

"Just do your duty; don't interfere in other matters."

Chen Shengli forced a smile and said: "All right, Mr. Zhongben, I'll get on it now—just wait for the good news!"

After Chen Shengli finished speaking, he turned and left the Zhongben Building; just as he stepped out the door, he glanced back at the building.

He cursed silently, "Zhongben Ying er, you little devil—if I can curse you, I'll curse you a few more times, otherwise I won't get the chance!"

After Chen Shengli left, Zhongben Ying er's personal maid massaged his shoulders.

"Master, is this fund manager reliable? I feel he's hiding something from us."

Zhongben Ying er calls himself the second generation of the old devil Zhongben, never lacking ruthless tactics.

He confidently said: "Can a petty money-grubber like him really cause me trouble?"

"You're overestimating him!"

"Go tell Zuozuomu to have all the bodyguards in place today; even if a small hiccup occurs, it's no big deal!"

In a residential building in North Point, E Lao gazed at the furnishings, reluctance in his eyes—these were his lifetime savings.

Because of a moment of greed, it's all going to go down the drain!

At that moment, someone knocked on the door from outside; E Lao opened it and saw Xiao Fu standing outside.

Judging by his attire, he politely asked: "Sir, do you have any business?"

Well, E Lao didn't disdain Xiao Fu's rustic clothes; his custom-made outfit already showed Xiao Fu wasn't short of money.

Xiao Fu glanced at E Lao and said: "The news of the Seraphim has leaked; I'm here to collect the bounty."

E Lao's hand slipped toward his waist for the. 38, but before he could draw it, Xiao Fu kicked him to the ground.

Xiao Fu picked up the. 38 and said, smiling: "You carry this little firecracker around—looks like you were prepared."

He casually tossed the. 38 to E Lao, drew a 1911 from his waist, and pointed it at him.

"This is a man's toy; yours isn't fit for the table."

"Follow……."

"Dad, what are you guys doing?"

A female voice interrupted Xiao Fu's speech; Xiao Fu, with his back to E Lao's daughter, slipped his pistol into his waistband.

He turned to look at E Lao's daughter Qi Qi and said: "Oh, it's Lawyer Qi Qi! I came to see E Lao about something; maybe there was a misunderstanding, that's why he drew his gun."

When he was beside Li Xin, he had seen this girl before; she was an intern lawyer at Huang Dawen Law Firm.

The. 38 on the ground couldn't be hidden; Xiao Fu could only make up an excuse.

Now Xiao Fu, after being influenced by the old slickers of Xi Gong, has changed greatly.

After all, you learn from whoever you associate with!

The old-timers of Xi Gong—none are easy to deal with; they're crafty old foxes who've told Xiao Fu many strange tales.

Qi Qi greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Li, long time no see."

Xiao Fu replied: "The boss is abroad; I don't have much going on."

E Lao saw the two chatting animatedly, not wanting his daughter to know his affairs, he quickly changed the subject: "Good girl, why do you have time to visit your father today?"

"Haven't you gone out shopping with your playboy boyfriend?"

After scanning both their faces for a while, Qi Qi said to E Lao: "Dad, stop calling Evans a playboy; he's quite excellent himself."

"All right, it's Dad's fault!"

E Lao's gaze toward Xiao Fu was pleading, hoping he'd give him some time.

Xiao Fu nodded at E Lao and said: "E Lao, I'll wait for you outside—hurry up."

As he left, Xiao Fu glanced at Qi Qi and gave E Lao a smile.

The meaning was clear: don't play tricks, or the consequences will be serious.

E Lao understood Xiao Fu's meaning and said to him: "Give me half an hour to settle things with my daughter, then I'll come find you."

"I'll wait for you."

After Xiao Fu left, Qi Qi curiously asked: "Dad, when did you become friends with Li Xin's people?"

"This is a big improvement over your previous friends."

"From now on, make more decent friends and keep away from the riffraff."

"Li Xin's people?"

"Which Mr. Li?"

Qi Qi explained with a smile: "He's the major sponsor of our firm, Mr. Li of the Red Trust Group."

"Immortal Trust?"

E Lao asked.

Seeing his daughter nod, E Lao's eyes lost any hope—he knew very well what kind of person Immortal Trust was.

Now there's only one path before him—just obey!

Elao's wife passed away early; his daughter is his only relative. Moreover, she's been sensible since childhood and is still an intern lawyer at Huang Da Wen Law Firm.

His future looks bright, but Elao doesn't want him to have any contact with that decent friend, Xiaofu.

After all, they could find out he took money and is a fake Seraphim—this guy is really being too proper!

Even if he's a member of Immortal Trust, it won't do—does Immortal Trust have any decent people around?

Elao took out a fair amount of cash from the closet's interlayer and handed it to Qiqi.

He smiled and said to her, 'Good girl, Dad's going on a long trip—take this money; having cash in hand means no worries!'

"I still have some business to discuss with Mr. Li, so I won't say more. You've known how to take care of yourself since you were little—I'm still at ease."

Qiqi looked at her father, who was acting a bit strange today, and asked, 'Dad, what's going on?'

"If you have something, you can tell me—I've met Mr. Li a few times and done work for his company."

"If it's not a big deal, I'll ask Uncle Wen to speak to Mr. Li—given his character, he probably won't hold it against you."

Elao quickly waved his hands, laughing, 'Good girl, it's really nothing—I'm just going on a long trip to do some business.'

"This time it might take a while, so I'm letting you know."

Qiqi went back to her room, picked up a big teddy bear, and followed Elao to meet Xiaofu.

Qiqi handed the teddy bear to Xiaofu and said seriously, 'Mr. Li, this is my most precious thing—I'm giving it to you today. I hope you'll look after my dad when you're out and about, okay?'

Xiaofu looked at the teddy bear, laughing and crying, and said, 'Qiqi lawyer, it's unnecessary—besides, I can't even play with this.'

If it were something else, Xiaofu probably wouldn't refuse. This kid, who hangs out with Jianguo, is also someone who's seen and experienced things.
