Chapter 231 - 231 Who's Your Master?!
231 Who’s Your Master?!
In the Namphan Sea, on the east coast of Namphan, the Baihu Pier was actually just a small jetty among many docks. Its ability to stop traffic was far inferior to the other docks. In the eyes of many shipping tycoons, it was just a small place with a very small presence!
It was also because of the reputation and secrecy of the Baihu Pier that it became a stronghold for Scorpion to hide his goods. This Baihu Pier was actually defenseless!
Who would have thought that the Scorpion faction, which was still at its peak yesterday, would be completely wiped out by the military overnight, as though they had never existed?
Of course, Yuan Cheng wouldn’t deny that Huo Qi had played a very critical role in this operation!
His subordinates and him were like sharp steel needles that pierced through Scorpion’s perfect defense and even killed him! They effectively restrained Scorpion’s counterattack and indirectly reduced the casualties of this operation!
Although Huo Qi and the military were two completely different forces, their goals for this trip were the same, especially with a special existence like Su Qing in the middle. It didn’t seem wrong to say that it was a perfect cooperation.
Yuan Cheng sat in the commander’s tent and listened to Su Qing’s satellite call. After a while, he understood the meaning behind this call and compromised helplessly, “I understand. You just have to know your limits! The military won’t interfere too much in the Huo family’s matters.”
Huo Qi sat leisurely beside Su Qing. When he heard Yuan Cheng’s compromise over the phone, he exchanged a tacit look with Su Qing.
He looked at the calm and indifferent girl beside him, unable to hide the doting smile on his face.
So this was the feeling of having someone supporting him? It seemed quite novel. Not bad! The masters of the Yuan family looked quite easy to talk to!
Actually, Mr. Huo had misunderstood. If Su Qing wasn’t with him, Yuan Cheng shouldn’t be so easy to talk to!
“By the way, Qingqing, standby. I’ll send a helicopter over to pick you up later. We’re going back to the capital. Come back with me.”
Yuan Cheng explained the military’s position to Su Qing on the satellite phone. After some thought, he was still worried that his precious disciple was with a ferocious and domineering triad leader like Huo Qi, so he decided to instruct her to return with him.
When Su Qing heard this, she was a little stunned. She asked in confusion, “Third Master, if you want to return to the capital, why are you dragging me along? I can go back to B City with my teammates from the Divine Seal Bureau later, or with Huo Qi! Our mission has been successfully completed. You don’t have to go through so much trouble to pick me up. You can go back first.”
When Huo Qi heard Su Qing and Yuan Cheng’s conversation, he smiled faintly and added, “That’s right, Third Master. Go and do your things first. I’ll bring Qingqing back safely. Don’t worry.”
Su Qing was seriously considering this matter from her third master’s perspective, which was different from the intentions of the two men.
When Yuan Cheng heard Huo Qi’s seemingly understanding suggestion, he paused, and he felt terrible inside.
He looked around him and saw that there were still a few outsiders in the tent. He couldn’t scold Huo Qi here; it would be unsightly for him to do that. However, his lungs were about to explode from anger!
This arrogant brat! Who was his master? Shameless! Shameless! Their Qingqing had never said that she liked him. He only dared to pester their Qingqing because of their engagement! How despicable! Yuan Cheng gritted his teeth.
However, in the next second, Yuan Cheng’s thoughts raced. He suddenly recalled the reminders that Yuan Yi had given him before he came to Namphan.
Yuan Yi said that because Huo Qi had saved Qingqing a few times before, Qingqing’s goal this time might not be as simple as carrying out a mission.
With Qingqing’s personality, she wouldn’t leave Huo Qi alone. She would definitely think of a way to return Huo Qi’s favor! If anything unexpected really happened, he had to support her, because he was Qingqing’s third master. The Yuan family was not someone who didn’t know how to repay kindness.
