Chapter 757 Who Cares About This Slap Mark?
Xu Shen: "?"
Xu Shen: "???"
Xu Shen ground his back teeth: "Say it to me again."
Mo Mo: "The reason you retired back then was..."
"Smack!"
Xu Shen then smacked him on the back of the head again.
You brat.
They've become hermaphroditic.
I never realized he had this talent before.
"How dare you talk to the vice-captain like that?" Xu Shen laughed angrily. "Even if you retired because of your brain, I wouldn't have done it."
"Since it's not because my brain has retired, you should be able to tell that I don't want to talk to you because I'm working." Mo Mo was very sincere, her tone as insincere as ever. "Why would you think it's something else?"
"Let me test you to see if you're up to the task?" Xu Shen hadn't expected that after being out for so long, this kid would still be the same as before.
With that kind of temper, how could Boss Jiang trust him to work by her side?
Aren't you afraid that one day he'll say something outrageous and offend someone?
"Does your boss know that you were sent by Gu Sheng?" Xu Shen suddenly asked.
Mo Mo: "I know."
Xu Shen: "Knowing that, why did I still keep you around?"
Mo Mo: "The boss thinks I'm reliable."
Xu Shen looked around and casually asked, "Where's Tang Bai?"
Mo Mo answered honestly, "I've been busy with things at home these past two days, but I should be back in a couple of days."
Xu Shen was somewhat surprised: "What are you doing back here?"
Although he went to other places after retiring, he still heard from Gu Sheng that Tang Bai's identity was not simple. He was rich and had status, so he came back for dinner and gatherings.
"Work." Mo Mo had no idea about the many complex thoughts running through his mind. "He's the boss's bodyguard."
Xu Shen: "?"
Xu Shen: "Isn't he some young master from the Tang family? Someone with a lot of money?"
Mo Mo: "Yes, but he feels that this is home."
Xu Shen: "..."
It's really hard to understand the minds of the rich.
He clicked his tongue: "Let me know when he gets back, I'll come over and ask him for some money."
Mo Mo immediately reached into her clothes pocket.
Xu Shen watched his actions with utter bewilderment: "Do you have fleas on you?"
"Here you go." Mo Mo handed over the newly issued bank card. "The password is my birthday."
Xu Shen's lips twitched.
What's wrong with this kid?
It used to be so difficult to get him to spend a single penny in the team, but now he just gives me his bank card.
"Give me what?" He shoved the bank card back into his pocket. "I was just kidding, and you took it seriously."
Mo Mo thought for a moment.
Too.
Both the vice-captain and the captain love to joke around.
Just then, Huo Zhizhou came out and said to Xu Shen beside him, "Let's go."
Xu Shen patted Mo Mo on the shoulder and said, "Let's go."
Mo Mo ignored them and went up to ask Jiang Ruan about the situation.
As for Huo Zhizhou...
After getting in the car, he asked Jiang, the special assistant in the car, to give him a piece of ice.
He didn't speak, so no one noticed. Only after he spoke did they see the handprint on his face.
"You... got hit?" Xu Shen raised an eyebrow slightly.
Huo Zhizhou: "No."
Xu Shen: "Isn't this it?"
Those five fingerprints are so obvious.
Huo Zhizhou applied the wrapped ice pack to his face, glanced sideways, and calmly uttered a single word: "Touch."
Xu Shen: "What?"
Huo Zhizhou said calmly, "It was touching, but Ruan Ruan has been exercising more lately, so she's a bit stronger than usual."
Xu Shen subconsciously looked at Assistant Jiang.
It seems like they're asking if your boss is always this shameless.
Assistant Jiang didn't dare to speak.
Xu Shen started being cheeky: "Since you're touching it, why don't you keep it as a souvenir?"
"What if someone has designs on you?" Huo Zhizhou asked, as always.
Xu Shen said bluntly, "Who cares about this handprint on your face?"
Huo Zhizhou: "You."
Xu Shen: "?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Single people would be envious."
Xu Shen: "Lin Bei, could you please stop the car up ahead and let me out? I'm about to throw up."
Lin Bei remained silent.
Only Mo Mo, the vice-captain, would dare to speak to the BOSS like that.
"Mo Mo, can you beat him?" Huo Zhizhou suddenly asked during the treatment.
That kid is stubborn.
Even if there are some things that Ruan Ruan doesn't particularly care about, he will still strictly follow through.
With him around, many things will be hindered.
"We can't beat him." Xu Shen wasn't afraid of being ridiculed at all, and said it very frankly, "That kid is the best fighter in the whole team, not just in our team, but in the entire brigade."
Huo Zhizhou's expression remained unchanged.
He could tell from the previous fight that Mo Mo was very skilled.
But he didn't expect that Xu Shen, the vice-captain, would be no match for him.
"But don't worry, I won't let him become a stumbling block on your path to winning his wife." Xu Shen knew Mo Mo well, so he dared to say this. "Just tell me what your plans are."
Huo Zhizhou: "No rush."
Xu Shen glanced sideways.
Huo Zhizhou said in a serious tone, "We'll enter through the main gate tomorrow."
Jiang Ruan had no idea that he had already started planning for tomorrow before even going home today.
After talking with Mo Mo, she went back to her room to sleep.
Whether influenced by Huo Zhizhou or something else, Jiang Ruan lay there for more than ten minutes without falling asleep. Her mind was filled with the scene of him taking off his clothes to reveal his wound, and the slap she had given him.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly remembered that the three rules they had just discussed had not yet been fully finalized.
Was he deliberately interrupting to say he was leaving?
Or something else?
That's what I was thinking.
The phone chimed with a message from Su Zhu: "How have you been these past few days? Has Huo Zhizhou come to see you?"
Jiang Ruan tapped her fingertip lightly and replied, "It's alright."
Su Zhu sent a voice message: "It's rare to see him so well-behaved. I thought he would pester you relentlessly and use any means necessary when he came back."
Jiang Ruan thought for a moment.
While today's actions weren't exactly relentless, they certainly went to extremes. Going to such lengths as using a VPN—they really aren't afraid of being filmed and having the photos posted online.
She composed herself and changed the subject: "How's work going?"
Su Zhu: "That's about it. I'll finish work tomorrow. After I'm done, I'll come over to see you and spend a couple of days with you before heading back to Jingzhou."
Jiang Ruan replied via voice message: "Okay, I'll take care of things tomorrow, and we'll go out in the next two days."
"You're usually asleep by this time, aren't you?" Su Zhu looked at the clock and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Do you have a lot of work to do?"
Since everything has settled down, her daughter hasn't been staying up late much.
Jiang Ruan: "I took care of some things."
Su Zhu: "Are you done with your work now?"
Jiang Ruan: "Mm."
Su Zhu didn't keep her chatting: "Then you go to sleep first, and we can talk slowly when we meet tomorrow."
Jiang Ruan said okay and then they said goodnight to each other.
Jiang Ruan's heart was still unsettled after the chat ended. Judging from Huo Zhizhou's actions tonight, he would most likely come again tomorrow. Su Zhu would probably come in the evening after she finished her work.
If he acts as recklessly as he did tonight...
Thinking of this, she decided to have a good talk with Mo Mo tomorrow and ask him how to make arrangements to effectively prevent Huo Zhizhou from climbing over the wall and sneaking in.
Huo Zhizhou was also thinking about this issue.
When they were almost home, he asked Xu Shen, "If Mo Mo has set up security for Ruan Ruan, what are your chances of getting me in like we did today?"
Xu Shen: "Not through the main entrance?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Just in case."
