435 Looking Down (2/2)
Cedrick was finally sure that something might have happened to Madam Grace when Han Chu decided to leave. He stood up immediately to stop him while signaling for the rest to stop them. He took out his phone. ”Please give me a minute. I'll check where Madam Grace is now.”
The bodyguards standing at the door and both sides of the couch moved to block their way completely. Just like that, Han Chu and Ye Shuang watched Cedrick heading over to the balcony to make a call.
”Are you confident?” Han Chu observed the few bodyguards one after another.
”Do you mean in fighting our way out, Brother Han?” Ye Shuang blinked and nodded without even thinking. ”Of course, I'm confident in fighting. The thing is, they might have guns.”
”… Never mind then. Nothing should happen to us anyway.”
Ye Shuang listened to the commotion on Cedrick's side for a while. ”Nothing is going to happen to us, but something seems to have happened to Madam Grace.”
She lowered her voice at this point as she mysteriously reported, ”Nobody is picking up Cedrick's call. I think something might've happened.”
They were in a rut now.
Han Chu was a little speechless. It seemed like they definitely could not leave, but they might be dragged into something it was if they stayed. He had thought that they were just there to stir things up a little; never had he thought that he would step right into it.
The few bodyguards were definitely great at language since they had been hired to go to China with Madam Grace. Even if they were not fluent, they could understand the language.
Han Chu glanced through the few bodyguards whose ears were wide opened without any expressions on their faces. He then spoke in another dialect after a scoff. ”I thought we would tell them about Jennifer today. It seems like Madam Grace has found out about it before we told her.”
Ye Shuang was smart to change the dialect too. ”Are you sure, Brother Han? But it makes sense. Although this isn't their territory, Jennifer is the only person who can do anything to people of Madam Grace's position… Ah, I'm getting excited now. We're just here to stir things up. Little did I know they've already done it.”
Anthony was dazed. ”What are you guys talking about?”
The few bodyguards were in a daze, too. If they did not have to pretend that they were eavesdropping, they might have asked what Anthony had asked.
”It's scary that a person has no culture,” Han Chu said in normal Chinese. While looking down on Anthony, Han Chu's eyes lingered around the few bodyguards casually.
Ye Shuang chuckled. ”Wu Chinese, combination of Central Min dialect and Hunanese… Isn't it classy? It's the most popular mix this year.”
Gotcha! So, you thought you would conquer China just by learning Chinese?
It was out of date to be communicating in foreign languages; it was common for one to be talented in languages. But dear, do you know any dialects‽
That's right. We're looking down on you!
Anthony came to a realization while the few bodyguards were secretly panicking as they pretended to be unbothered. On the other side, Cedrick had stopped his futile effort of calling and turned around while forcing a smile. ”Please stop bullying them. There might be something that I need your help with over here.”
