1961: Next Move

Next Move

One could see a bulletproof glass door once the elevator doors opened. The man swiped the card and invited Ye Jian and Principal Chen in while he stood at the entrance of the elevator and waited.1

Hou Zi had been waiting for Ye Jian in his office. The moment Ye Jian stepped into the hotel, he had received the news.

He personally brewed the tea and served it to Principal Chen. He smiled and said, "Please have some tea. I'll talk to Little Ye first. Please listen and voice out if you have any suggestions to make."

Suggestions?

Principal Chen looked at Hou Zi quietly. Although he had never been involved in the underworld before, he had heard of Hou Zi's name. He was a famous boss in the Southern Province and even other countries… He was also a boss in the underworld. Both the legal and illegal communities had to show him some respect.

He had heard of him before, but he never expected him to be so refined.

Principal Chen took the tea from him and smiled. "You're welcome. If there's anything about Ye Jian, I'll definitely listen to it."

He didn't know that Ye Jian was in contact with Hou Zi. When he received Hou Zi's help, he was shocked.

"It's indeed about Little Ye. Ah Yuan has asked me many times to take care of Little Ye. Hence, I know a thing or two about Little Ye. It can be said that Little Ye's matter is my business too. I'll support her no matter what she wants to do." Hou Zi was a loyal person. When he spoke, he was calm and had the demeanor of a general. As he spoke, he explained how he knew Ye Jian.

Principal Chen understood immediately. He was relieved.

Seeing this, Hou Zi smiled calmly and said to Ye Jian, "Is Sun Yaozu's matter not over yet? How far has it progressed? Can you tell me?

"Little Six instructed me to help you if you were to make a big move in the Southern Province. I thought that you would be making a big move this time, but this senior's expression changed a little and he thinks that your move might not be as big as I think. You might be doing something bigger in the dark.

"You're Little Six's girlfriend, so I'm your Brother Zi. We share such a relationship. Little Ye, you can tell me what to do next.

"You need to tell me about your plans. My identity is much simpler than yours."

This sentence made Principal Chen, who was quietly drinking tea, raise his gaze slightly. That was right. It was indeed easier for Hou Zi to do certain things compared to Ye Jian due to his status.

However, dragging Hou Zi down… was a little immoral.

Ye Jian thought so too. She smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zi, you have helped me too much. If you continue to help me, you'll be trapped. Let me tell you the truth, Brother Zi. I have a grudge against Sun Yaozu because he killed my mother. There are too many things behind my mother's death. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, everyone who is related to me will be in trouble."

Commissioner Cai had clearly told her that her mother's death was very complicated. Some things were still classified and could not be revealed at all. They could only be dug out with time.

She needed to dig through the mud that had accumulated over time to find out the truth behind her mother's sacrifice and her murderer… She really did not dare to let too many people get involved, even though… many people were already involved.
