The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard
Chapter 30 - 30 0030 A Jade Pendant

30: Chapter 0030: A Jade Pendant 30: Chapter 0030: A Jade Pendant A dramatic opening, a dramatic ending.

Master Huo never was a man of tender heart or soft hands, as could be heard from the continuous screams outside, several girls had already been sent home by Chu Ge, and the private room suddenly became much emptier.

“Master Huo’s personal visit is probably not just to help me solve this small trouble, right?” When Chu Ge heard he was coming in person, he understood that the other party must have something to ask of him.

Sure enough, Huo Tianqian made a hesitant expression: “Indeed, I cannot hide it from Mr.

Chu, I do have something here that is rather hot to handle, I would like to see if Mr.

Chu is interested.”

Huo Tianqian was quite clever on this point, he understood Chu Ge’s potential identity, so he did not hide it, and made it clear that the item in his hand was not easy to deal with.

“Hm?” Chu Ge showed a trace of interest, curiosity is human nature, he might not agree to take on the matter, but Huo Tianqian’s words did indeed make him consider taking a look.

“It’s not very convenient to talk here, I have booked a table at a nearby hotel, let’s go together, we can eat and talk.”

The hotel manager was obviously also aware of Master Huo’s reputation, when the group went over, they were led by the general manager through a usually closed special passage directly to the private room.

The dishes were served one after another like flowing water, while Chu Ge did not say a word and just kept eating, until it was Huo Tianqian who couldn’t hold back first, giving a dry laugh and signalling to one of his henchmen with his eyes.

The henchman carefully placed a palm-sized black box on the table, and Huo Tianqian used a little strength with his right hand to push the box in front of Chu Ge: “Chu, take a look.”

Chu Ge glanced at him and opened the box as instructed.

Inside the box was a crystal-clear Jade Pendant, sparkling under the light with a faint luminosity, if you looked closely you could even see wisps of mist drifting back and forth inside the Jade Pendant.

“This is…” Chu Ge was stunned for a few seconds, then his pupils suddenly constricted to the size of a needlepoint.

Huo Tianqian clearly noticed the change in Chu Ge and probed, “Chu, do you recognize this Jade Pendant?”

How could he not recognize it?

When the old man passed on the Innate One Qi Technique to him, it wasn’t through verbal instruction or demonstration, but by directly giving him a Jade Pendant to infuse his True Qi into, and then, the legacy automatically appeared in his mind.

And this Jade Pendant, was exactly identical to the one the old man had given him!

“A part of the Innate One Qi?

Even if it isn’t, it must be closely related!” Chu Ge’s heart was beating rapidly, but on the surface he calmly closed the box: “May I ask where Master Huo acquired this Jade Pendant?”

“What a coincidence!” Huo Tianqian let out a chuckling laugh, setting down the cigar: “Some guy owed my men a debt, couldn’t repay it in the end, and when my men went to seize his property they happened to find this Jade Pendant.

That kid still wouldn’t let go, and ended up with his limbs broken by my men.

It was brought over this time.

I happened to see it, thought it looked nice, and it ended up in my hands.”

“I see.” Chu Ge nodded, then asked, “What about that person?”

“Very unfortunately,” Huo Tianqian showed a look of regret: “I also wanted to have a chat with him later on, but perhaps my guy was too heavy-handed at the time, he didn’t make it through resuscitation at the hospital and died, with no relatives or friends, I paid a bit of money to find a grave site for him.”

Regardless of whether what Huo Tianqian said was true or not, this lead had been cut off.

Chu Ge fondled the Jade Pendant, finally raising his head to say, “Hmm, I’ve taken quite a liking to this Jade Pendant, Master Huo, name your price.”

“Hey, Mr.

Chu, you’re being too formal.

What’s between us that needs such talk?

If you like it, just take it,” Huo Tianqian said with feigned generosity, taking a sip of his drink before continuing, “But, Mr.

Chu, could you tell me what secret is hidden within this Jade Pendant and why everyone wants to get their hands on it?”

“You guys?” Chu Ge was sharp to catch something in Huo Tianqian’s words.

Huo Tianqian wasn’t embarrassed and plainly smiled, “At this point, I don’t plan on keeping Mr.

Chu in the dark anymore.

Indeed, before you, there was another group interested in this Jade Pendant, but they’re not on good terms with me, so I didn’t hand it over.

Now that the Jade Pendant is in my hands, it’s become quite a hot potato!”

“A hot potato?” Chu Ge muttered to himself, then suddenly clenched the Jade Pendant in his palm, “This hot potato—I’ll take it!”

The old man’s greatest wish before dying was to restore this Cultivation Technique to its full state, and even without considering the old man, this Cultivation Technique was also essential to his own survival!

“What’s so special about this Jade Pendant, Mr.

Chu, can you give me a hint?” Huo Tianqian still didn’t give up.

You should know, anything that came to his mouth had never been spat back out, but this time the opponent’s power was too great and he really couldn’t handle it, which is why he sought out Chu Ge.

Chu Ge put away the Jade Pendant and said without hesitation, “It involves some matters, it’s not convenient to tell you.”

His words were blunt and even made Huo Tianqian’s face change, but in the end, he said nothing and slapped on a smile again, gesturing, “If Mr.

Chu doesn’t want to talk about it, then let it be.

Come on, let’s eat!”

The banquet was just beginning and those horses with a bit of status all came over, holding their cups, “Mr.

Chu, I’d like to toast you!”

As the saying goes, don’t slap a smiling face—Chu Ge accepted almost everyone, lifting his cups and downing them.

Watching as these horses passed by like a carousel to toast one by one, a cunning glint flashed in Huo Tianqian’s eyes.

Still too young, too vain, the people he brought over this time could all drink like fish at the table.

Get him drunk, and then do whatever they wanted to him!

However, Chu Ge caught the fleeting look in Huo Tianqian’s eyes, smiled imperceptibly, and continued drinking without slowing down, even taking the initiative to stand up and toast Huo Tianqian.

Nobody noticed that Chu Ge’s left hand had been placed under the table, fingers formed like a sword, as streams of alcohol poured from his fingertips onto the floor like a faucet!

Using Inner Strength to expel all the liquor from his body!

An hour later, only Huo Tianqian remained sober in the private room, but his face alternated between pale and flushed.

After ten minutes, Chu Ge appeared to be nearly drunk, but half an hour later, he was still in that same half-dazed, half-alert state, and now everyone else had fallen, but this son of a gun still pretended to be half-drunk—damn it, if you’re acting, at least make it believable, right?

“Here, Master Huo, I’ll toast you one more, oh my, getting dizzy in waves…”

Huo Tianqian: “…”
