Chapter 347 Rejecting His ’Generosity’

"I'm aware of what Ye Group is capable of doing. I was just confused about why I needed to go to such an extent. Unlike the others, I'm not bound to the group in any way."

"That's what you think. You pretty much have already become one of us for them, the moment you stepped in and obstructed their way in harming us."

Dai Zhiqiang mulled over it a bit. Once again, he was involved in something he didn't wish to happen. He wondered if he should be thankful for Ye Huizhong's generosity or grudgeful because he used this chance to trap him in his group.

Ye Huizhong studied Dai Zhiqiang's expression, and he could tell what he was thinking from the slight crease on his brows.

"Don't look at me like that. This is the best decision I can come up with so far. I'm a businessman, but I'm also a man with integrity. If you serve me well, I will do my utmost best to answer your sincerity."

"I want to come back to my people once I have repaid all my debts to you. Because of our agreement, I haven't been able to visit my family that much. I don't know about others, but I don't like this development. Please don't make me grow distant from my family any further."

Ye Huizhong hummed in a heavy voice. His skeptical gaze went up and down Dai Zhiqiang's figure.

"You are smart, but your way of thinking is still naive and inflexible. Brat, there is more than a way to protect someone."

"I appreciate your advice, but I don't need it." Dai Zhiqiang replied immediately. He stared back at Ye Huizhong with unwavering determination in his eyes, making the old man sigh in exasperation.

"Fine, you are as stubborn as a mule. However, keep in mind that those people aren't someone you should mess with. Tell me if you change your mind. You may leave now." Ye Huizhong turned his chair, showing disinterest in further conversation.

Dai Zhiqiang knew this was his boss' last consideration for him. He was thankful for his gesture, but he dared not accept his generosity. He felt like his leg would be buried inside the mud if he received his offer.

"Then, I'll take my leave first."

After leaving the room, Dai Zhiqiang returned to the playing room where Ye Zhong was smacking Lin Xiang's back, telling him to crawl faster as he sat on top of his back.

"This horse is so slow! I don't like it."

"Young Master, if I go too fast, I'm worried you will fall." Lin Xiang grimaced. His scalp, forehead, and neck were perspired with sweat.

"What kind of horse is talking back to its owner? You are supposed to neigh, not talk!" Ye Zhong frowned in disapproval. His legs moved wantonly and hit Lin Xiang's sides a few times. "If I told you to run, then you run. Hurry up!"

p Lin Xiang looked like he was about to cry. Ye Zhong was the boss' precious grandson, and there was no whim of his would be left unfulfilled. He didn't have any choice but curse his bad luck and resign himself to fate.

"Oh! Big Brother Zhi is here!"

Ye Zhong's shout of pure joy made Lin Xiang lift his head. Dai Zhiqiang stood in front of the door with an expressionless face, but he seemed like a Buddha in Lin Xiang's eyes right then.

"I want to play with Big Brother Zhi!" Ye Zhong exclaimed before jumping off of Li Xiang's back, kicking him fiercely on the side for the nth time.

The Young Master ignored the exhausted horse and ran up to Dai Zhiqiang. "I was so bored, so I played with the bald horse, but he is not fun. Big Brother Zhi, play with me!"

Dai Zhiqiang looked down at the little boy before him, and mixed feelings rose inside his heart. Like it or not, spending time with this kid made him grow fonder of him.

Ye Zhong reminded him a lot of Dai Shenqiang, thus making him unable to refuse whenever there was a possibility of a threat coming to harm the little boy.

Dai Zhiqiang knew he shouldn't get too attached to him or anyone from this group, but he couldn't help it when Ye Zhong looked up to him with his big, sparkly eyes.

"Why are you always talking with Grandpa for a long time? You promised to play with me first thing when you come today!" Ye Zhong pouted.

Dai Zhiqiang stroked his head covered in smooth hair before replying. "It's an adult business, a kid like you doesn't need to know."

Ye Zhong harrumphed. "I'm already 5 years old. I'm big enough already!"

"We are still bigger than you. Unless you grow taller than your grandpa and me, you are not big enough to talk with us."

Ye Zhong stared at him blankly. His little head recalled how big his grandpa was, and suddenly he got quiet. Lin Xiang, who witnessed this exchange, could only sigh in defeat.

He admired Dai Zhiqiang for taming the willful Young Master. At first, it was weird seeing Ye Zhong obediently listen to someone's words, so everyone suspected that he used the boss' love for his grandson to act as he pleased in the group.

However, that idea was erased soon after learning that Dai Zhiqiang still acted in his indifferent and cheeky self, even toward the fearsome Ye Huizhong. He dared to act rude and obnoxious to the big boss, but the boss weirdly took a liking to such a youngster.

There was just no logic to describe the relationship between the trio, so the rest of the group just gave up on trying to understand and slowly accepted it. Nothing would change even if they disliked it anyway.

Lin Xiang carefully sat up and groaned when his back made a questionable cracking noise. His side was sore from being kicked repeatedly too.

Ye Zhong was still a child, but the damage would still be there if you get hit in the same spot for an hour. He pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from all over his face and bald head.

"The ball is shining like a bowling ball," Ye Zhong pointed at him, making Dai Zhiqiang involuntarily let out a snort before averting his eyes away.

Lin Xiang's eyebrows twitched, but he couldn't say anything with the Young Master in the room.

'What is the meaning of an adult here?' Lin Xiang lamented inwardly.
