Chapter 107 (1/2)

On the flight to Song City, Xia Lu sits beside Gao Ge, watching the cloud outside through the small window.

“After we arrive at Song City, do you need to go home?” Gao Ge asks carefully.

“No need.” Xia Lu shakes her head.

Seeing that Xia Lu is so determined, Gao Ge doesn’t keep meddling with that question anymore.

After the plane lands, Gao Ge and his squad mates check in to the hotel. Then he is totally at a loss.

They know so little about the target of the task. Even the Dragon Court doesn’t have much information.

Just as Tang Jiusi said, if they want to find the target, they must wait for him to show up.

Therefore, they cannot take any proactive action.

“So we can only keep waiting!” Gao Ge cries out, sitting on the chair in the room.

It happens that at the moment someone knocks on the door. Gao Ge stands up to open the door only to find it is Shen Mo.

Shen Mo enters the room, passing a cigarette to Gao Ge. Gao Ge waves his hand to reject the offer. Hence, Shen Mo lights up a cigarette for himself and asks, “Aren’t you a smoker?”

“Yes, I am, except that I fear your cigarette is poisonous.” Gao Ge says frankly.

Shen Mo smirks, “You are so good at talking with others. A lot of people must like you for that.”

“Yeah, I agree with you. Those who dislike me must not be human.” Gao Ge says with an innocent face.

Shen Mo’s hand, which is holding the cigarette, is slightly trembling.

He really wants to slap himself in the face.

“Why do you come to my room? Don’t you have an ashtray in your room?” Gao Ge asks.

“As I can remember, for every task, the leader will take the fund for the task, which is quite a lot.” Shen Mo says, “So didn’t Brother Tang give you the fund?”

“Yes, he did.”

“Then why did you let us live in such a small hotel?” Shen Mo is so angry with tremble. Every time he executes the task, he always lives in a 5-star hotel.

“We shall save as much as we can! After all I can’t let you live the guest house.”

Shen Mo wants to leave here.

What an asshole!

He even wants to embezzle the money of the Dragon Court!

“Okay. Tell me, what’s the occasion?” Gao Ge says bluntly while opening the window.

Shen Mo is angry again.

Does he even fear that the smoke is poisonous?

“Even though you are the leader for this action, you haven’t executed any task of the Dragon Court yet, right?” Looking at Gao Ge, Shen Mo says slowly.

Gao Ge nods his head.

“Hence, I hope that you don’t randomly give orders.” Shen Mo says smilingly.

Gao Ge blinks his eyes, “I thought you came here to ask me to let you be the commander.”

“I am not Wang Zhe. If it were not that I reacted fast, he would be killed by Tang Jiusi.” Shen Mo says with a sneer, “The Dragon Court’s decision is unquestionable to us.”

Gao Ge wipes the sweat on his forehead.

No wonder Shen Mo’s reaction was so fierce in the office.

It turns out that he feared death!

Gao Ge thought Shen Mo was so brave before…

At the moment, Gao Ge suddenly feels being tricked.

“This is not the first time I have executed the task. Thus, compared with you, I can manage this with ease.” Shen Mo says smilingly, “Metaphorically speaking, you are like a landlubber while I am a like agile swimmer. Do you understand what I mean?”

Gao Ge remains silent for quite a while and then asks softly, “Are you trying to tell me that those who are drowned all can swim?”

Shen Mo puts out the cigarette and stands up, glimpsing at Gao Ge and saying, “Decayed wood cannot be carved.” Then he turns away.

Gao Ge really wants to stop Shen Mo and discusses with him about the issue–whether the decayed wood wants to be carved. However, he finds it too silly to talk about that so he chooses to let it go.
