Chapter 48: Disappeared Part Three
Just as this middle-aged man was about to get close, the crippled old man took a step forward. This step wasn’t big, but it perfectly blocked all the angles that this middle-aged man could use to attack.
“I had been thinking about what I should give you as a gift.” The middle-aged man smiled and said to Aunt Xi while waving the struggling fish in his hand, “Fortunately, I’m lucky today.”
Aunt Xi looked at the big fish and slightly shook her head.
The middle-aged man’s expression dimmed, and he casually threw the fish onto the ground. Somehow, the fish that was still struggling energetically a moment ago died.
Although this middle-aged man was still smiling, his tone became a little cold. “Since it lost its value and qualification as a gift, it is useless.”
Then, he took out a jade token from one of his sleeves and showed it to Aunt Xi. He said, “I know that you have a valuable token in your hand, and it can guarantee Beckon of the Red Sleeve move freely within Great Sui without being blocked or troubled. Although the jade token in my hand gives me a lot of power, I don’t dare to trouble you. You and Beckon of the Red Sleeve aren’t involved in this, and I can even arrange for the governmental ferryboat to take you and your people across the river.”
Then, he looked back at Fang Jie’s horse-drawn carriage and said, “But I must notify you; this case… you can’t block it even if you take out that token.”
“Ok,” Aunt Xi only said one word before walking away.
The middle-aged man was stunned; he didn’t even think that things would go this smoothly.
At this moment, his body stiffed, and his arm that was holding up the jade token seemed to have frozen in time. Regardless of how hard he tried, he couldn’t lower his arm.
This was the first time that he grew fearful toward someone other than the Department Head since he joined the Royal Guard. When he looked toward the crippled old man, the latter showed a contemptuous smile.
“If Ms. Xi wanted to, I would have killed you right here,” the crippled old man sneered and said, “I hate when members of the government try to act tough. It is only a damn token; it is nothing in my eyes!”
After saying that, the jade token in the middle-aged man’s hand cracked and lost a piece.
Then, the crippled old man drank some liquor and walked away.
The middle-aged man only regained his freedom after this old man walked five steps away.
The crippled old man suddenly stopped, looked back at this middle-aged man, and said seriously, “I have a hard time understanding how an idiot like you became the deputy of the Intelligence Department. Don’t you have a brain? How can a song and dance ensemble that is being protected by a level 9 master be ordinary? How can the woman who is capable of commanding a level 9 master be an ordinary woman? Can you do anything even if we don’t use that token? Ms. Xi said ok not because she is afraid; she didn’t want to get involved in the first place.”
After pausing for a second to think, the crippled old man seemed to have recalled something and said to the middle-aged man with a smile, “The kid inside the horse-drawn carriage that you surrounded taught me a word… he said that someone who is more idiotic than an idiot is called… a dumb*ss!”
At this moment, curses sounded from the direction of the worn-out horse-drawn carriage.
“May Patriarch fcking bless you. Do you think that daoists are easy to bully? I’m warning you now! I’m an important figure of the Daoist Sect, and I’m going to the Capital to act as the supervisor in the Martial Arts Academy’s entrance exam! If you offend me, you will all be in big trouble! Want to search my horse-drawn carriage? Are you fcking blind?”
The middle-aged man’s expression changed, and Gao Tianbao quickly ran to him with fear and anxiety on his face. “Sir… there are only two people in the horse-drawn carriage. The groom is that kid from the Cui Family in Xiang City, and… only a fat daoist is inside the compartment.”
“Weren’t you monitoring this horse-drawn carriage at all times?”
“We were… but… but somehow others disappeared…”
“I had been thinking about what I should give you as a gift.” The middle-aged man smiled and said to Aunt Xi while waving the struggling fish in his hand, “Fortunately, I’m lucky today.”
