119 Chapter 119 : Brewing Trouble (2/2)

Xiulan watches her angry husband and secretly commented. ”Can he never be angry while talking to his employees?”

”Call Yang Bo if another issue like this comes up.” He ended the call and savagely threw it on the bed. The person who called him was the chief administrative officer (CAO) of his entertainment company.

His company strictly follows a policy to always ask for his opinion if a multi-million contract was offered to them. People below him were only obediently following orders and policies.

”Hongqi, I decided not to go anywhere today. I really want to rest and just stay here. Let's go to Disney Land tomorrow.” Xiulan loudly reminded him while he wears some clothes.

When he heard his wife, he was in the middle of putting on the burgundy long sleeves from a famous men's wear brand.

”Is it because of your legs?” Hongqi continued wearing it and looked at his wife to wait for her answer. If their trip today will be canceled, this might be the best chance to meet up that yakuza group that produces black market weaponry. He heard that professional assassins get their weapons from that yakuza group.

”Yep. My legs are really sore and I don't have the energy to endure them and be sorrowful in Disney Land.” Xiulan explains. ”By the way, can I borrow a laptop? Or rather, where's my laptop I was using in the Ling family inn? I would like to have a remote meeting with some of my employees.” She added. This is the best time to check on her software engineers if they were doing their job properly while she's thousands of kilometers away from them.

She gazes at the peach-colored coat she pulled out a while ago and laid it on the foot of the bed. She will use this once the remote meeting starts.

Hongqi pulls out a newly bought gaming laptop box from the sea of high-end paper bags. ”Sorry, your laptop didn't arrive yet. Apparently, it got mixed to a different flight. It may arrive this afternoon. But anyway, I asked Yang Bo to buy a new one yesterday.” He opens the box and carefully pulled out the laptop and charger.

He handed the laptop to his wife and inserted the power cord in the plug sockets so that she doesn't need to stand up in case the battery runs out.

”Wow! This an expensive gaming laptop!” Xiulan fangirled a little bit when she noticed the name of the laptop version of a certain gaming brand. That laptop causes forty thousand yuan (USD 5.8k)! Only unthrifty people would waste money on that expensive ass laptop.

”I thought you might need a powerful laptop to use for work so I asked Yang Bo to buy the latest and most powerful gaming laptop,” Hongqi explains and sat beside his wife. He watches his wife's gleaming eyes. He was happy that for the first time, he saw his wife happy from his gift.

He didn't expect that a cheap laptop could make her happy like this. Those millions of yuan he spent on pieces of jewelry didn't reach this type of joyous and genuine smile from his wife.

”Thank you. I'm really happy.” Xiulan charmingly thanked him and touches the laptop like it's been a long-time dream to have one.

She can actually afford it but she doesn't have the heart to waste money on an expensive gaming laptop. She still prefers her monster desktop computer back in their presidential suite. The laptop she uses in her office was a mid-tier gaming laptop. She didn't experience any problems with it yet that's why she didn't upgrade.

Hongqi's heart fluttered from his wife's endearing reaction. He quickly cheated a kiss on her cheeks and tenderly asked her, ”You'll be eating your breakfast here?”

”Hmmm. I don't want to walk and go outside.” Xiulan mumbles.

”Alright. I'll ask the servants to serve your breakfast here. Though, I might not be able to eat with you. Since the Disney trip is canceled today, I'm going to meet some dangerous people instead.” He stands up from his seat and went back to the closet to pull out some trench coats.

”Dangerous people?” Xiulan curiously asked and made a frown. That sounds like trouble.

”A yakuza group that sells weapons.” Hongqi simply answered and made an assuring smile at his wife that everything is safe. ”It's for my security company. They sell the best stuff to professional assassins. I wanted to look and check them.”

Xiulan didn't answer him immediately and only gave him a sharp look. Not all yakuza groups are villains these days. It's just that they were stereotyped to be troublemakers and criminal syndicates. Though they really have illicit businesses, still, it's rare to hear awful news about them.

After a minute of silence, she tenderly warns him, ”You better be careful.”

”My love, I have a lot of bodyguards and I know a little bit of martial arts.” Hongqi arrogantly said.

Xiulan deepened her frown. She never saw him fight any people yet so she's not sure how good he was in man to man combat. But whenever she remembers that time during her terrorist mission, ”When he got abducted by those terrorists before, he seems to be pretty docile. Can he really protect himself?” she secretly deduced. After all, her husband was a pampered rich child ever since. She's not sure if he ever brawled with anyone in his entire life.

”No need to worry. It will be safe.” Hongqi assured her again.

Xiulan was skeptical. She doesn't have any gadgets she could use here to track him down in case something happens.

The new laptop doesn't have any installed tracking software too. She doesn't have the energy to hack into her own pc just to get the software.

She could use the GPS from Hongqi's mobile phone, but what if his mobile phone got lost or away from him? This is bad.

Right now, she could only rely on manually hacking the CCTV from the nearby establishments. She just hopes that her husband wouldn't face any trouble today to save her energy from finding and helping him.
