1401: Yaoyao, I’ll Be Waiting For You

Yaoyao, I’ll Be Waiting For You

It could only be said that Ah Zhu and Brother Jing were eager to place Gu Changshu in a high-level position and arrange for him to leave Shu City to pursue other interests. He also wanted him to have something to do so that he did not feel dismissed or abandoned.2

"Enough."

Jiang Yao could tell he was worried. "I will be careful."

She still had Moe, Big Ke, Ah Lu, and the two informants by her side. It was sufficient.

"I did not expect you to bear the burden of this last mission."

Lu Xingzhi's voice was very low. It was so deep that it sounded like a distant drum.

Lu Xingzhi suddenly fell silent after saying that. He spoke again after a while. "I will wait for you, Yaoyao."

When he was on a mission in the past, Jiang Yao always said those words to him, waiting for him to return.

However, his relationship with Jiang Yao had shifted.

He was the one who had waited for her, who was concerned about her, and who had refused to let go.

He was the one who felt how she had felt while waiting for him.

Lu Xingzhi had to admit that he could not control everything despite having 18 martial arts skills.

After finishing the phone call with Jiang Yao, Lu Xingzhi called his second and fifth brothers in Jindo City. They were businessmen. Even though their appearance in Shu City as businessmen was eye-catching, it would not draw too much attention.

There was also Ouyang, who could assist in the creation of a cover. They could appear in Shu City as Ouyang's friends.

Lu Xingzhi reasoned that if he could not stay in Shu City, there must be enough people there to ensure Jiang Yao's safety on his behalf.

It was the first time in a long time that Lu Xingzhi had asked his brothers for assistance while on a mission.

Ah Zhu had wanted Gu Changshu to return to the Ding residence to say goodbye to Gu Junhui, but Brother Jing had arranged for Gu Changshu to leave Shu City immediately. It just so happened that the people around Brother Jing were on their way to Long City, so they took Gu Changshu with them.

It was already three in the morning when Ah Zhu returned to the Ding residence. He had stayed in his original room and not in the main building.

"Mr. Ah Zhu has returned!" When the servant heard the voice from the room, he greeted him politely. "Supper is ready," she said. "Would Mr. Ah Zhu like to have it now?"

"What did you prepare?"

It was quite warm in the room. Ah Zhu immediately removed his heavy coat. Then he looked up at the upstairs room and asked, "Did Junhui have dinner tonight?"

"Miss Gu appears to be in a bad mood tonight," the servant quickly replied. "She did not eat much. There is hot soup in the kitchen."

"She has a simple palate. In the future, you should cook according to her preferences." With a shake of his head, Ah Zhu expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation. "Gu Changshu has departed from Shu City. She will, of course, be dissatisfied. However, there is nothing we can do about it."

Ah Zhu walked upstairs after saying that. "I am going upstairs to take a shower," he said as he turned around. "Bring the soup out in ten minutes."

After saying that, Ah Zhu climbed the stairs, holding onto the handrail. His leg was inconvenient, so he moved slowly up the stairs.

Ah Zhu never needed anyone's help. Ambitious people were naturally proud.

Jiang Yao listened to every word they said in the room. She knew Ah Zhu was going to take a shower, and she was about to turn her attention away when Ah Zhu's phone rang. Then, on the stairs, Ah Zhu picked up the phone.

"Good day, Brother Jing."

Jiang Yao refocused her attention when she heard it was Brother Jing on the phone.
