Pork Butcher - C61
Very quickly, I stayed in the recovery town for three days. These three days were extremely peaceful, as if everything that had happened before was like a dream, without any suspicions. There was no Zhou Dong, no zombies, nothing.
Every day, aside from training, I would head over to chat with An Xin. Perhaps it was because she was completely shocked by what happened last time, so she paid a lot of attention to some of the rules and regulations.
Still, I told her a lot of the taboos of life, some rules that I had to know so I wouldn’t run into anything next time.
Thus, after three days of interaction, An Xin and I became more familiar with each other. Our conversation would no longer be as formal as it was the first time.
On the fourth day, An Xin told me that a few of her friends were coming to see her, that they were her best friends in school and that she was taking advantage of the holidays to visit her. She wanted me to show them around because she wasn’t feeling well.
Of course, I agreed to that. An Xin’s best friend is also a girl. To be shopping with a girl, that is what I am looking forward to.
In the afternoon, An Xin’s friends arrived. It wasn’t the three people that An Xin mentioned, but four. However, An Xin’s friends explained that one of them was her cousin. Upon hearing that she was going to the southern recuperation town, they came together.
“Hello, I am Zhang Jia. I am working in the field of geriatric recuperation, you know, the smog in the north is very thick, and many old people with respiratory illnesses have come to the south to recuperate. Our company is also in the process of transformation, and I heard that some of Ah Wen’s classmates came to the south to recuperate, so I came to investigate as well,” the woman explained.
“Welcome, welcome,” I said, smiling. There was nothing wrong with this explanation.
“Thank you, but this mission was done in private, Mr. Zhou will take more responsibility,” Zhang Jia said again.
“Understood, understood, don’t worry, I won’t say too much,” I immediately replied. I completely understood what Zhang Jia was saying, wasn’t she just here to secretly investigate, for example, some confidential things like prices.
They walked and chatted on the side of the road and soon arrived at An Xin’s residence. Afterwards, they all naturally began to chat with each other.
“Big Bro Zhou, is this your bodyguard? What are you doing? This is the first time I’ve seen a bodyguard in real life!” the girl called Ah Wen asked me.
I looked at Bao-ge and Genji, I told them to change their clothes, but they always wore suits, and if I didn’t keep emphasizing it, they would probably even wear sunglasses. The aura of a bodyguard was really too obvious, especially their vigilant eyes, which kept looking around.
“Yes, they are all my bodyguards. As for what I do, I can’t tell you, it’s a secret,” I replied with a smile. In any case, my act here wouldn’t get struck by lightning, so borrowing Sun Yong’s family’s power wasn’t bad.
“Tsk, how could you keep it a secret. An Xin has already told us everything. Are you really a mage? You’re the kind of expert in zombie movies!” Xiao Wen whispered.
“Haha …” I laughed and didn’t answer him directly. Luckily, he didn’t say I was a Taoist monk, otherwise I would have denied it, I didn’t want to become a monk. I still hadn’t earned enough money to get married, and I still hadn’t had enough meat to eat.
After Xiao Wen and the others finished chatting with An Xin, they naturally had to take them around. After all, how could they stay in a room so far away? They definitely had to go around everywhere.
So, I brought them to take a walk around the little town. Although this little town was famous, only the villages near the mountains were the places where An Hai and the rest could truly rest. There was water in the mountains here, the air was fresh, and it was said that there were high levels of ions in the air, which were very helpful to people with respiratory illnesses.
The place that Zhang Jia paid attention to was naturally the organizational structure of this place, which was a commercial place. One had to know that if one wanted to build a recovery town, not only would one have to trick people into coming here, after she came here, the resources, scenery, medical treatment, public facilities, even the atmosphere of the people were all closely related. It was possible that if one did not complete well, the entire business project would collapse, so she had to inspect it very carefully.
So, after the first day had passed, after we had invited them to dinner in a nearby house in the evening, and then sent them to the inn, I returned to our lodgings with the other brothers, Baogongers and others.
“Mr. Zhou, that Zhang Jia can’t find any information, even if she’s Xiao Wen’s cousin, it doesn’t seem like she’s lacking,” Bao-ge said to me after returning home.
Naturally, they sent the news back to the Uncle, and told them to investigate. However, after a day had passed, they still did not find anything, but this was the most suspicious thing.
“I know, don’t worry, she wouldn’t act against us so quickly. I can see that she doesn’t want to abandon her current identity, so she definitely wouldn’t act against me in broad daylight. She would think of ways to move you guys away. When the time comes, you have to be careful and don’t play any tricks.”
I am very confident in this point. Sun Yong is not by my side, unless she has already found their position, she would not rashly make his move. He would not even kill me in advance, and would only think of a way to get their position from me.
“Don’t worry Mr. Zhou, we know what to do,” Baoge replied.
After saying that, I exchanged some information with Uncle, Sun Yong and the rest. They all thought that there was something wrong with Zhang Jia, but in order to prevent her from being a pawn, I was told not to act rashly.
The next day, Xiao Wen and the others came back to accompany An Xin for a long time. Afterwards, they asked me to take them to a tourist attraction outside of the little town.
I agreed to this request again. I brought Baoge, Brother Gen, Xiao Wen and the other girls to some nearby tourist attractions. Uncle and I went to those places once and there wasn’t anything special there.
After dinner, he sent them to the train station to catch a ride. But that Zhang Jia did not leave, according to her meaning, her business was not finished yet.
“Mr. Zhou, thank you so much. Last night, I sent the report to the boss, and the boss’s interest in this project increased by a few points, so I’m still busy now. I don’t know if I can trouble you in the future,” Zhang Jia said to me.
“Of course, we are friends,” I said, smiling.
“Then I’ll have to thank you so much. You’ve already spent so much for these past two days, how about I treat you guys a midnight snack instead?” Zhang Jia said.
“Sure, I happen to be a bit hungry,” I replied.
Thus, we went to find a place to have a supper. After we finished eating, another hour passed, and the process of eating was very enjoyable. Zhang Jia was a person who really knew how to liven up the atmosphere, it made everyone feel like she was bathed in spring breeze.
“Drink, drink, I said, let’s continue drinking!” When they paid the bill, a few drunk delinquents, who kept hooting and drinking, walked over. Bao-ge and Genji stood in front of them, frowning.
“F * ck, who the hell are you guys? Good dogs don’t block the way, do you know who I am?” Seeing Bao-ge and Genji, those hooligans immediately picked them up.
“Mr. Zhou, let’s go first. Quick!” Bao-ge turned around and said to me.
I immediately brought Zhang Jia to walk out of the room, but just at this moment, a delinquent suddenly vomited, and in the direction of Brother Bao, Brother Bao was naturally subconsciously separating him, but upon touching him, the other delinquents first stared blankly, then began cursing loudly, and then, the push started, Brother Bao and the rest of them were experienced enough to not let them get near, so they constantly separated them.
“Bang!” It was unknown who threw a bottle of wine at them, but once it hit the group of delinquents, the free-for-all began.
Those hooligans were all young and drunk, so how could they be a match for Baoge and the other two professional bodyguards? They were easily knocked down, but the hooligans were very unwilling, so many people took out their phones to call for help.
“Let’s go, if they really are local tyrants, then there might be a lot of people coming,” I said to Zhang Jia.
“Ah, then what do we do?” Zhang Jia panicked, as if she was afraid of such a fight.
“Don’t worry, it’s alright. Bao-ge and the others are all professional bodyguards.” I said with a smile.
Zhang Jia nodded her head, she seemed to be relieved, and we went to get his car, but as soon as we started it, a group of hoodlums holding machetes surrounded us.
“Mr. Zhou, they have a lot of people, we might not be able to take care of you. You guys get off the car first and walk to the entrance of the police station to wait for us there. We will quickly settle this matter here.” At this time, Bao-ge turned around and said to me.
I naturally agreed, because there were too many hooligans this time ah. Thus, I pulled Zhang Jia out of the car quietly, and Baoge and the rest lured the hooligans away.
I took Zhang Jia and ran for a long distance, and in the end, I didn’t even know where I went.
“No more running, no more running, I can’t run anymore,” Zhang Jia said in the end while holding onto her stomach, as if it was very uncomfortable.
“Right, I’m not running anymore. I don’t want to run either. How boring,” I stopped and said.
“No meaning, what does that mean?” Zhang Jia asked me.
“It’s meaningless, so it’s meaningless. Does Miss Zhang think that there’s some deep meaning to it?” I said with a sneer.
“What do you mean?” Zhang Jia said somewhat panickedly, both hands covering her chest as she retreated a few steps back.
“Stop acting. Is that interesting? I saw it all. Take the dagger in your hand.” I took a few steps back and said with a smile.
“I don’t understand what you mean, but let me tell you, if you want to do anything, I can advise you to consider it carefully,” Zhang Jia said.
“Fine, continue pretending. Since you’re not going to make a move, then sorry about it, I will leave first.” I slowly retreated, looking at Zhang Jia as I spoke.
After continuously retreating more than ten steps, Zhang Jia’s expression finally changed. Her powerful aura became cold and ruthless, with killing intent in her eyes.
“How did I expose my secret?” Zhang Jia coldly asked.
