Chapter 441: Chapter 367 Liu Zheng: I See President Yuan Still Has Charm_2

Regardless of the matter, none of them are something that the owner of this rural bathhouse can handle.

"I’m willing to offer three million for your help."

Yuan Baoer said through gritted teeth.

"It’s not about money; there are plenty of ways for me to make money. If it weren’t for owing this kid a huge favor, I wouldn’t even step out of the clinic."

Doctor Nile shook his head.

As a prominent Scholar and a high-ranking medical practitioner, making money is a breeze for him.

If it wasn’t for the desire not to attract too much attention and the limitations of medical equipment, the clinic would be at least several times larger than it is now.

"Alright."

Yuan Baoer said, somewhat disappointed.

But she knew she couldn’t force the issue, so she immediately perked up, ready to arrange the matter of finding a venue.

At this moment, the intercom on the table rang.

"President Yuan, Niu Daji says he needs to see Mr. Liu."

Lao Si’s voice came through as she pressed the answer button.

"Niu Daji?"

Yuan Baoer looked towards Liu Zheng.

"Oh, that’s the guide I hired."

He replied.

"Then please have him come up."

Yuan Baoer nodded.

"Okay."

Soon, Niu Daji entered the office hesitantly.

"What did you need me for?"

Liu Zheng asked directly.

"Boss, could we step aside to talk?"

Niu Daji gave him a meaningful look.

"President Yuan is one of us; you can speak freely here."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"It’s okay, Mr. Liu, you two can talk alone. I also need to arrange some manpower."

Yuan Baoer said, understandingly.

"Alright then, come on, follow me out."

He nodded and led Niu Daji out of the office.

"What’s so secretive?"

At the end of the hallway, he asked.

"Boss, my brother said he saw the group you were drinking with leaving Bathhouse Street."

Niu Daji whispered.

"Hmm? How did he know?"

Liu Zheng wondered aloud.

"Cough, I told him."

Niu Daji said somewhat sheepishly.

Seeing such a big scene was an honor for him as Liu Zheng’s underling, so of course, he had to brag to his own brother.

"You little rascal, remember to ask me next time if you can speak about it."

Liu Zheng glared at him.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Niu Daji repeatedly agreed.

He knew he had breached a taboo and even hesitated whether to mention it or not.

But considering Liu Zheng’s conduct since entering Bathhouse Street, he decided to take a gamble.

Although the House of Niu has an iron rice bowl passed down through generations, there are copper rice bowls, silver rice bowls—who would want an iron rice bowl?

Moreover, this iron rice bowl is limited in quantity.

If Niu Daji could find another way out, his brother could too have one.

"Where did they go?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"My brother said it looked like they were heading into the city."

Niu Daji said.

"Ah?"

He was stunned.

They had just been kicked out after failing to smash the place; either they should go back to their lair or to the mastermind behind the scenes, but going into the city, what was that all about?

Could it be they were wrong, and the mastermind wasn’t from Bathhouse Street?

"Alright, I’ve got it. Here, take this money and use it."

Liu Zheng pulled out a stack of bills and handed it to him.

"Boss, I don’t want the money."

Niu Daji greedily glanced at the bills, straining to divert his gaze.

"Hmm?"

He scrutinized the other carefully.

Could this Minotaur have been possessed?

In the Metropolis, is there still a poor devil who doesn’t want money?

"I’ve had enough of hanging around Bathhouse Street, guarding the door without seeing anyone and making so little money. I want to follow you, boss, and become a city person too."

Niu Daji said earnestly.

"Following me doesn’t promise a bright future."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

Not to mention, he had no proper career to speak of, and even if he did, it would all dissolve away once he finished his instance and left a few days later.

Instead of giving Niu Daji false hope, it was better to let him be disappointed from the start.

"I know you look down on me, boss, but our House of Niu has been able to survive on Bathhouse Street for so many years, we’re not without skill."

Niu Daji excitedly said.

"Don’t get excited first, I’m not looking down on you. We are both small fry, who would look down on whom. But I’m just a delivery guy, what are you doing following me, delivering food with me?"

"You might not have experienced the horror of the Bloody Restaurant, but you must have heard of it. I have no relatives, just a rotten life, and the job was forcefully assigned by the City Hall, so I just do it."

"You have a family, a stable job; why get involved in this mess, rushing to become food material?"

Liu Zheng’s eyes scanned him from head to toe.

Well, the meat quality looks indeed good, perfect for making Chaozhou beef hot pot.

"Escaping Minotaur, there’s no risk-free option. My ancestors also went through life and death situations to earn a foundation for our family. I still want to ask you for a chance, sir."

Niu Daji felt goosebumps all over by his look, but still insisted.

"Becoming my brother isn’t that simple, can you fight?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No!"

Niu Daji’s answer was resounding.

"? You’re straightforward, at least."

He said somewhat speechlessly.

"Hehe, boss, you’re an honest guy, I can’t lie either. Although I can’t fight, my ancestors left behind a set of tools. As long as I wear that, although not saying I’m very strong, I definitely won’t drag you down."

Niu Daji said confidently.

"Then wait for me outside."

Liu Zheng left him with that sentence and went back to the office.

"President Yuan, I just received intel, Great Jiang Mountain’s people are heading into the city."

He said.

"What? Was it not the people from Bathhouse Street?"

Yuan Baoer’s first reaction was they guessed the mastermind wrong.

"That’s not important. President Yuan, what do you plan to do now?"

"Of course, pursue immediately. Uncle Liu?"

Yuan Baoer looked at Uncle Liu.

"I’ll lead the team right away."

Uncle Liu nodded.

"Doctor, please make a trip too. Prioritize your own safety in everything."

Liu Zheng told Doctor Nile.

"Okay."

Doctor Nile nodded.

As long as he’s not running further away, he doesn’t mind helping out, as this was also part of the original plan.

"We mustn’t delay, set out immediately, it’s harder to kill them once they enter the city."

Uncle Liu reminded.

"Good. Doctor, take Niu Daji with you, tell him that as long as he performs well enough to catch your eye, let him follow me."

"If he holds us back, then just let him fend for himself."

Liu Zheng said.

"Understood."

Doctor Nile nodded and left with Uncle Liu.

"By the way, President Yuan, where is Secretary Li?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Already sent to the hospital for treatment."

Yuan Baoer replied.

"Oh, so should the challenge continue?"

"Of course not. From now on, Mr. Liu is our Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse’s VIP, all expenses are on the house as long as the bathhouse is still under my name."

"Moreover, even if you want to challenge, you can’t now, the masters all went out with Uncle Liu."

Yuan Baoer said with a smile.

In Metropolis, age and fighting capability are mostly correlated.

And those old men in the sauna, are the veteran team left by Yuan Baoer’s father, also the treasure of Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse.

Normally, there’s no need to involve them for minor disturbances, the security team is enough.

But in such critical moments, they must stretch their old bones.

"Then thank you very much for your kindness, President Yuan."

Liu Zheng nodded and sat down at Secretary Li’s desk, flipping through the phone directory.

"Should I have Lao Si take Mr. Liu for another round of fun?"

Yuan Baoer suggested, seeing him look bored.

"No need, I’ll stay here to protect you, not going anywhere."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"The security team is already stationed covertly, there should be no concerns about safety."

Yuan Baoer said.

"Day and night guard, but it’s hard to guard against an insider. President Yuan, just let me stay here, I don’t like to celebrate prematurely. If you find me obtrusive, I can tuck myself under the table."

He half-jokingly said.

"Mr. Liu saying this is a bit too much, I’m just afraid you’d find it boring to accompany an old lady like me."

Yuan Baoer slightly chided.

"President Yuan, you are in your prime, as dignified and luxurious as the peonies in mid-spring, a national beauty and heavenly fragrance. How could it be boring to be in the same room alone with you?"

Liu Zheng casually said.

"Haha, Mr. Liu, you really have a way with words. I am no peony, more like a foxtail grass."

Yuan Baoer said while her glance towards him carried a slightly different flavor.

As she was about to continue picking topics, suddenly, the walkie-talkie bellowed with a shrill alarm, and its three indicator lights turned red.

"What’s going on?"

Yuan Baoer’s face changed, asking aloud.

"President Yuan, there are assassins!"
