Chapter 179 - IAmFashionista Arc 1 ends (2/2)
Gao Huan just politely smile and nod to him before he went away.
'That Xiong Zhi has a loyal dog. '
A loyal dog that bites.
Gao Huan ordered his butler to drove to LG.
He knew that man would be going here.
And he was right.
On the top floor, the usual seat of his friend Lu Jin was being occupied by someone else.
”Was it necessary?” He heard Lu Jin's calm and usual cold voice sounded at the side.
Lu Jin was standing in front of the man who was seating on his chair.
”Father.” Lu Jin continued.
Ming Zhi Yi noticed Gao Huan's arrival. He noticed Gao Huan's gaze too.
Ming Zhi Yi leaned and tap the armrest. He sat there cross-legged.
Every time Gao Huan saw this man, he wondered a question,
'How come this man grows so slow?'
The image of the man eight years ago was still the same in front of his eyes. The man did not age at all. The only sign of his aging was his growing hair. He looked like a man in his late twenties. When in fact the man was almost approaching forty.
Ming Zhi Yi, who was the matured version of Lu Jin smiled.
”I told you I hate to answer obvious questions. Why don't you answer, Gunan?”
Gunan.
Lu Jin looked back at the new arrival Gao Huan.
Gao Huan did not looked at him and bowed respectfully to Ming Zhi Yi.
”Mr. Luo is disrupting father's plan. He dissuades some people from the south. Two people already back out from our plan. He also warned the young miss of Xiong and Master Guan. If we let him live, we will not be able to get IAmFashionista.” Gao Huan explained. He was still not looking at Lu Jin. He called his grandfather as Master Guan in front of this man.
”Forget IAmFashionista. Don't act for now. The south is suspicious of us. That dead guy did not take my threat seriously. It's my mistake.” Ming Zhi Yi lit up his tobacco.
He took a sniff before he continued.
” I should have not trusted your suggestion, Jin, that's my mistake as well.”
Lu Jin looked at his feet.
”We will move on in my way. We lost the chance to take IAmFashionista. We lost the way to reunite the underground. Tsk.”
That 'Tsk' bought a shiver to the two young men. It was clear that Ming Zhi Yi was not happy.
And it was scary if that man got angry.
”Gunan, what's on your side?”
”The deal in Britain is working well. Xiong De, the strongest contender in the Xiong family is in my hands now.”
”How about that young miss?” Ming Zhi Yi was talking about Xiong Zhi.
”..not yet. But I'm sure she is going to be my fiance. It is just a matter of time.”
Gao Huan was sure that Xiong Zhi was his fiancee that his grandfather was talking about. He was right. It was only a matter of time.
”Mm. Good. But it's better if you got her trust. She will be a good piece in the future.”
”Yes, father.” Gao Huan nodded.
”Lu Jin.” Suddenly, Ming Zhi Yi's voice got colder.
”Yes, father.” Lu Jin answered calmly. However, his hands were sweaty.
”Since your suggestion did not work well, I'll handle you the business in the south. Make sure that those two people we lost would be coming back to us on their knees on the ground. You have four years.”
That was a hard mission. Those two were mighty figures after all. It would be hard to get them under him and manipulate them.
”Ah.” Ming Zhi Yi remembered something.
”You might receive trouble for a while. I visited Mr. Luo's funeral and your grandpa was there. He was looking for you.” Those words had many meanings.
Gao Huan just stayed quiet even though that does not really happen. It was actually the opposite.
Ming Zhi Yi stands up.
”Don't worry, Jin, I'll prepare things before I handle you the job in the south. Have you keeping a tab on your dear little bro?” Ming Zhi Yi spoke of Lu Yin Ze as if he was not his son.
”Yes. He is quiet. ” Lu Jin answered.
”Hmph. I thought he would give us a surprise once he received the box. Maybe I put too much hope on him.”
Lu Jin did not say anything.
Ming Zhi Yi stands up. There was a lot to do since their plan failed. They need to be quiet for a while and strike IAmFashionista again once those people from the south let down their guard.
He looked at the two young men that he personally trained.
He patted them to their shoulders.
These two would help him gather and control the legendary families. The bone that was so hard to remove in his throat. Once those families were in his hands, everything would be smooth.
He smiled at them and left.
Leaving the two silent for a while.
