Chapter 315 A Favor

The blonde-haired man led him to an expensive-looking car parked not far from there, where dozens of black-suited men lined up in front of it.

One glance, and he could tell that those men were the same as the blond-haired man, subordinate to this so-called 'Master'.

Just looking at how tight the security was, people would know whoever was sitting inside that car was an extremely important figure.

Dai Zhiqiang had seen a fair amount of rich people, and he sensed that this kid's family was probably the most dangerous one he had met so far.

The blond-haired man stopped him from walking further and went first to talk to the person inside the car through the gap in the window. Dai Zhiqiang couldn't see who it was from where he stood.

Then he came back while bringing the news. "Master wants to talk with you. Alone."

Dai Zhiqiang's eyebrows twitched slightly. It was just one disaster after another for him. However, he had no other options as of now.

"Alright."

"Big Brother, I will come with you too!" The kid said while tugging his pants, unwilling to separate from him.

"No, Young Master. The Master only wants to talk with him. He said you can wait in another car for the time being."

The kid stomped his feet angrily. "Grandpa is bad! He wanted to hog Big Brother to himself!"

',

"Young Master, please understand—"

"No, I don't want to hear!"

Faced with the kid's tantrum, the blonde-haired man could only sigh helplessly.

Dai Zhiqiang still bore a grudge toward him for throwing him to the ground earlier, but the longer the kid clung to him, the longer he spent with these people.

He decided to cooperate for now.

"Kid, you should listen to your Grandfather. Those who aren't listening to the elderly's words are bad kids, and no bad kid would ever become a hero."

The kid stopped stomping his feet and looked up at him. "Really? Are you a good kid too, Big Brother?"

"Of course, because I always listen to what my grandfather says."

'Well, whether I followed his words or not was arguable, though.' Dai Zhiqiang added inwardly.

"Then, I'll do as Big Brother said!"

The blonde-haired man watched with a mouth slightly agape at how easy it was for the younger man to tame their young master. He barely did anything, and the willful young master listened to him so well, something that none of them had ever achieved. Even the Master himself.

After ensuring the kid had left, Dai Zhiqiang shifted his gaze to the older man. "Where should I go?"

'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovelB(i)n. ᴄᴏᴍ',

The blonde-haired man pressed his lips into a thin line before flashing his polite smile. Dai Zhiqiang seemed to see a bit more respect in his smile than previously, but it might be just his eyes playing tricks on him.

"This way."

The wall of bodyguards standing in front of the car easily allowed him to go through. As unsettling as it was, Dai Zhiqiang could only enter the car now.

A big, tall, old man around his 60s was sitting inside the car with his hands resting on a cane. His hair was swept behind, revealing a stern face with sharp-looking eyes and frowning eyebrows.

The suit he wore was a pin-striped gray one, with a white scarf draped on his shoulder. He also wore a gold watch and rings with big stones.

The old man looked like the mafia boss you could find in action movies.

Dai Zhiqiang could feel the heavy pressure in the air when he stepped in. However, he ignored it and sat on the other side of the chair, keeping his distance from the old man.

If this man was the master of those people outside, it would make sense. Since even though he was old, Dai Zhiqiang could feel an authoritative presence in him. It could easily intimidate an ordinary person, but fortunately, Dai Zhiqiang wasn't a person easily intimidated.

"Do you want to talk to me?" Dai Zhiqiang didn't beat around the bush.

"Indeed." The old man replied while still looking straight to the front, not bothering to look at the younger man.

The old man's voice was heavier than he thought. It sounded like a bear growling for a moment.

"Can you make it quick, please? I'm in a hurry right now."

"Impolite, brazen, and cheeky. Qualities every youngster has nowadays, and you are no different from them."

"If you don't like to talk to the youngsters, you can do us a favor by cutting to the chase."

Dai Zhiqiang wasn't afraid of him. He was already in a bad mood from the beginning, and these people kept wasting his time when all he did was try to be a decent human being.

The old man shifted his gaze for the first time, and Dai Zhiqiang's eyes widened, looking at the horrendous burn mark on the left side of his head.

It was his first time looking at something like that, so he couldn't help but look at it for a few good seconds.

"Are you scared, youngster? Do I look horrible to you?" The old man asked smugly.

"I was surprised, yes. But it's not that scary or horrible."

"Trying to act tough, huh? Well, that's fine. How much do you want?"

Dai Zhiqiang expected to be interrogated, but it turned out the old man wanted to compensate him. However, after being scammed once, Dai Zhiqiang wasn't eager to take anything from these suspicious-looking people.

"No need, just let me go, and we will not see each other anymore."

"I don't like owing a person anything. Just mention your price, and this will end. A new car? An apartment? I can give you anything you want. You just need to ask for it."

'Visit (No ve (l)B i n) to read, pls!',

The old man was looking down on him.

That wasn't an unusual sight for him, and it didn't bother Dai Zhiqiang anymore. But then, he recalled his father's condition for a split second, and a crooked smile emerged on his face.

"Then cure my father for me. Return him to his healthy self, and we will be even. I saved your grandchildren's life, so it should be reasonable to repay life with another life, right?"

The old man didn't respond and only stared at Dai Zhiqiang. It snapped the younger man from his stupor.

'Why did I say that? I must have gone crazy.' Dai Zhiqiang berated himself for his lack of self-control.

"Forget what I said. Just let me go."

The old man still didn't say anything and only put his hand into his blazer. It alarmed Dai Zhiqiang, and his whole body became tense, but it turned out the old man only wanted to take out a card from it.

"This is my business card. Accept it."

"Why?"

"Kid, there is something that can't be controlled in this world. I'm not a miracle worker, no matter how much power I have." He fell into silence before continuing, "I will rephrase my words. Anything you want, as long as it's something within my capabilities, you can give me a call, and I shall lend you a hand."

Dai Zhiqiang held the business card in his hand.

'Ye Huizhong, a Chairman of Ye Group?'

He wasn't sure if he had ever heard that name before, but he still accepted it gratefully. This might become useful in the future.

"Thank you very much."

Ye Huizhong's corner of lips curved up slightly. "Oh? So you know how to speak politely. I don't hate a kid with big guts. What is your name?"

"Dai Zhiqiang."

"I'll try to remember that. I have a feeling we will see each other again soon." Ye Huizhong said with a mysterious smirk.
