Chapter 12
“Be good, aim for here only.”
When Qing Li heard these words, she could feel Yue Zhi’s breath in her ears, and she could even visualize Yue Zhi’s posture at this moment in her mind.
He was very tall, and with his shoes he was at least one meter nine three, while her own height was one meter six eight, counting the heel of her shoes it was one meter seven three, so the other party should have slightly bowed his body down at this moment, and was in the same position as her head, very close to her.
Her hand holding the gun was resting in his palm, where it was slightly cooler than her own body temperature.
Occam was trembling all over, and growled lowly in color, “Yue Zhi! What do you mean by this! It’s just a stinking woman, you brought her here yourself!” He realized with hindsight that this little beauty might not be the trinket he thought she was, brought to give to him like a former partner.
Yue Zhi touched Qing Li’s hair, “Ah Li, he offended you, decide for yourself, don’t worry, it doesn’t matter if he is killed here today by you, leave the aftermath to me.”
Aonashi looked at Ockham who was crooked in a chair in a strange position, paused for a few seconds and pulled the trigger.
The gun with a silencer made a chirping sound like a bird’s song when it was fired, but the high speed rotating bullet didn’t diminish its power, and in milliseconds it pierced through Occam’s bodyguard’s foot.
The bodyguard let out a stifled scream and fell to the ground, contracting into a ball of pain.
“Mr. Occam’s bodyguard is really rude and arrogant, for your sake, this lesson is enough so as not to affect the cooperation between you and our sir.”
After saying that, Qing Li casually stuffed the gun, whose barrel was still hot, back into her handbag and stood behind Yue Zhi, without giving the blood splattered scene a second glance.
Everyone froze, obviously not expecting her to handle this matter like this, although Yue Zhi wouldn’t say anything if Occam died, she considered Yue Zhi’s intention of coming here tonight, not wanting to let his trip come to naught.
Occam recovered his life, and was so paralyzed with fear that he tried to sit up straight while holding on to the table, but he didn’t sit up for two times in a row.
Yue Zhi laughed lowly twice, and finally looked squarely at Occam, “Let someone come and clean it up, the bloody mess is weirdly disgusting.”
The bodyguard had slowed down quite a bit, called himself, and soon came over two people, one replaced him to stay with Occam, and the other helped him to leave the box.
Occam was terrified and angry, “What else is there to say by now, there is no need for cooperation between us!”
Yue Zhi reached out and took the tablet, slowly flipping through the menu on it, “I wasn’t here to do business with you in the first place either, those few freighters of yours, I haven’t looked at them yet.”
“Then what the hell do you want?!”
Liang Jin finally closed the laptop and looked at Occam, “Twenty years ago, you specialized in importing metal minerals and food from the Russian side, but every time you bought goods, you would intermingle them with decommissioned Russian arms to resell them to the low-level market in Southeast Asia to get the difference in price, right?”
Occam froze, he had been doing this for more than five years, and had indeed made a lot of money, at that time, several countries in Southeast Asia were infested with killer gangs, and the security was so bad that it was hard to get rid of them. Gangs were proliferating in several countries in Southeast Asia at that time, the law and order was so bad that the firearms were out of control, and he had to bear at least one-third of the responsibility.
Later, countries cracked down on arms smuggling, arrested many small arms dealers, he slowly gave up this road, began to do other business, to choose themselves clean, transformed into a big entrepreneur, excellent taxpayers.
He didn’t expect that after so many years in the past, he would actually be suddenly brought up about this matter, he was even more confused about what Yue Zhi was going to do, “This matter is too long ago, is it not too late for you to come and seek revenge now?”
“At that time, you were a matchmaker for a Russian who came over here to do business, and together they made a lot of money, was that person the one who was the leader of your low price purchase of arms on the Russian side?” Liang Jin continued to ask.
Occam let out a “hmm”, “He helped me acquire goods in Russia, and I helped him contact cooperation over here, it’s a win-win situation.”
“Do you still have contact with that person now?” Yue Qi looked up and asked.
“No, haven’t been in contact for over ten years, I don’t even know if he’s dead or alive.” Ockham said in a good humor, he finally knew why Yue Zhi came, but it was just to inquire about a person, he actually made such a big deal out of it.
“Write down everything you can think of about that Russian.” Liang Jin got up and came over, putting down a pen and paper in front of Occam.
Occam glanced at Yue Zhi and reluctantly picked up the pen to write with an annoyed face.
“Let’s go Ah Li, let’s change the private room, the dishes here are not bad, I ordered a few, feel free to try them.” Yue Qi got up, “Just leave this place to the two of them.”
Qing Li followed, the moment the door closed he saw Xiji sneering as he passed towards Occam who had put down his pen.
He should have beaten the other party severely, after all, Xiji hated it when people paid excessive attention to his appearance, but at twenty-eight years old with a teenage boy look, no wonder why almost everyone else had taken him for Yue Zhi’s gigolo for years.
“Is that all you’re doing tonight, sir, just to inquire about the Russian?” Green Pear dug a spoonful of the lemon tart in front of him.
“Uh-huh.” In order not to affect his sleep, Yue Zhi wouldn’t consume caffeine after six in the afternoon, so he only needed a glass of plain water, “If he comes over here honestly to answer my questions, I may not be able to give him a little favor for having to come here like this.”
“I’m sorry, sir.” Qing Li looked at the high-class handmade carpet on the floor, and seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood on the carpet of the next box.
“It’s not your fault, you did a good job today.” Yue Zhi said.
Qing Li looked up at him, his eyes were dark and bright with affirmation and appreciation, these words were not spoken against his will.
“If you hadn’t done anything at that time, I would have been very disappointed.” Yue Zhi placed a cup of black tea in front of her, “Remember, me and my people don’t need to bow down to anyone.”
Qing Li understood that if she had accepted Occam’s harassment like that at that time, that would have been the only way to discredit Yue Zhi, to disgrace him, and for Occam to continue to look down on Yue Zhi.
Being affirmed of her performance, she happily and calmly ate her dessert, her hand reaching for the last piece of concave cake was gently grabbed by Yue Zhi.
“Alright, ordering so many is for you to choose, not for you to eat them all, be careful of propping yourself up.” Yue Qi’s tone was helpless.
Only then did Qing Li realize afterward that she was indeed a bit propped up, although the sweetness of all these desserts was well grasped, it was still a bit greasy in her esophagus, and it was only after she dunked a whole cup of black tea that she felt better.
“Let’s go, walk around with you to kill your appetite.” Yue Zhi stood up, “Didn’t you say you wanted to buy a bag, there are all kinds of brands here, see if there’s anything you like, consider it as a prize for your performance this time.”
Qing Li shook her head, “Thank you sir, but this bag I’m going to use to give away, so I’ll have to buy it myself.”
The two came to the first floor, every store was decorated in a high-end atmosphere, the light inside was a bit cold, illuminating the merchandise that was set out exquisitely like a treasure.
Qing Li walked very slowly, she hadn’t seen or come to such a place, those bags, clothes and dresses, jewelry, she felt that every piece looked good, but she couldn’t tell the specific difference.
“What kind do you want to buy?” Yue Zhi asked her.
“Well …… nice looking, a little bit cuter.” She thought Martha was only fifteen, she should want something cute, “The price doesn’t matter, I have money.”
Yue Zhi brought her to a store, she looked down at the string of English on the door head, the first capital letter H was particularly familiar, she remembered that the West Pole seemed to have a lot of things with that name written on them.
The sales walked up with a smile on her face, “Mr. Yue, long time no see, may I ask what you need?”
“Bring out all your pink colored bags for her to choose.”
The sales immediately took them to the VIP sofa room at the back of the store, “Please wait.”
Qing Li was curious, “Sir, do you come shopping often?”
Yue Zhi took the merchandise book on the side and flipped through it, “I left Liang Jin in charge of all my furnishings, I’ve only been dragged by Xiji to check out for him a few times, he’s more fond of collecting these luxury items.”
“Indeed, except for missions and training at the base, I’ve never seen him wear black.”
The two sales quickly placed seven or eight bags on the table in front of them, all pink, but all different, “Mr. Yue, this is all the pink colored bags we have available in the store, but they are all only in Pu leather.”
“Take a look, is there anything you like.”
Qing Li seriously took each one and flipped through it, she didn’t quite understand the price of these luxury goods, directly on the hand to carry it over to look at it, after looking at it when putting it back also won’t intentionally put it gently, looking at the side of the sales heart is going to jump out of the bag for fear that it will leave any scratches on the bag, just in the way of Yue Zhi’s face, so hold back and didn’t make any noise to remind him.
“Every one of them looks good, I kinda like the pink color.” Qing Li picked up a U5 Lipstick Pink Kelly, on her face that never had much expression, her eyes lit up, and her tone also had more emotional ups and downs, “Sir, look, is this color exactly the same as the ghostly crossbow you sent me?”
“If you like it, buy it all at home and carry it casually when you go out.”
“No need, I’ll take this one.” Aonashi finally chose a 3Q Cherry Blossom Pink Kelly Danse, “Masha is small, it can’t be too big.”
She pulled out her own one, “This is it.”
The sales looked at Yue Qi and nodded slightly before taking the card and placing it on the POS machine and swiping it, “The total is SGD 17,500, please keep the small ticket.”
Qing Li did not understand the exchange rate of the new currency, Yue Qi explained in her ear in a low voice, “Almost twelve thousand dollars.”
“A bag can actually cost so much?” She was not heartbroken about the money, she was just simply puzzled by the price, as it was beyond her knowledge.
Yue Zhi got up from the sofa, “It’s still early Ah Li, follow me, you’ll see more to things that are hard to measure in terms of price.”
“Send over the ones you saw today.” He took the packaged bag from the sales hand, handed out his black card, and led Qing Li out of the store, “I said I’d give you a reward, so since you like them, buy them all.”
The two of them went upstairs together to the room they had booked in advance, but they saw an unexpected figure at the door.
Qing Li paused for a moment, technically she hadn’t seen the other party in eight months, and was even in a bit of a trance, “Kanojin?”
“Sister!”
Kanojin sprinted over with large strides, picking up Qingli in a hug, tightening her arms for a moment before letting go, “A-sister.”
“Why did you come over at this moment, is there no problem at the school, have you eaten?” Qing Li looks at Kanojin’s familiar and somewhat unfamiliar face and asks.
“It’s rare to see you talking so much, you guys go inside and chat slowly, I’ll go back to my room first.” Yue Zhi handed the bag in his hand to Kanojin.
“Isn’t mister going home?” Qing Li turned around and asked.
“Don’t want to be troublesome, there’s no harm in staying here for a night, you guys don’t need to worry about me, just feel free to move around tomorrow.” After saying that he left.
Qing Li watched his tall back go into another room not far away, before she pulled Ganojin into her room.
Just as soon as she entered she was hugged tightly by Kanojin once again, “Sister, I missed you so much.”
