157: Chapter 157 Extraterrestrial Objects
Inside a building several hundred meters high in Shenhai City.
"Miss Sawa, the first group led by Himura has... has been completely wiped out in Qiantang."
The coffee cup in Saionji Sawa's hand almost slipped.
She couldn't believe her ears: "What? Himura was defeated?"
The subordinate reporting looked panicked, but the news sent back was indeed the truth.
Miss Sawa had a beautiful face, but at this moment, it looked rather unsightly.
She waved her hand: "Leave us!"
She stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window a hundred meters above the ground.
Himura Ryusai, one of the Seven Members of the Dark Fang Society, was considered to have few rivals even in Japan.
Since following her to China, this bald general had been expanding her territory and securing a firm foothold in Shanghai's underworld.
And now he had inexplicably fallen in Qiantang, a place not even as prominent as Shanghai?
Sawa found it somewhat inconceivable.
Now, how was she supposed to explain this to her family back in Japan? She understood that she had come to China with a mission.
It wasn't just about expanding the market for Japanese enterprises.
Last month, she had been ordered by her family to secretly seize a small blue comet from outer space.
This kind of comet seemed to be something extraordinary.
Japan's top ally, the United States, was very lucky. During that period, several such objects from beyond the heavens had landed on their soil.
Scientists in the United States immediately extracted a substance from them, claiming it could alter human genetic code.
Not only could it help humans solve most ailments caused by genes, but it could also strengthen the human body.
It might even make development toward immortality possible.
Coincidentally, Japanese spies discovered that similar objects from beyond the heavens seemed to have fallen on Chinese soil as well.
Once the United States found out, they wanted to use their ally to steal this mysterious substance from China.
The price they offered was very sincere: the two countries would share the research results.
So now, Saionji Sawa had a bit of a headache.
She somewhat regretted her impulsiveness, losing an entire group's combat power for nothing.
Under the Dark Fang Society, there were seven groups in total. All were composed of well-trained Japanese warriors.
The group led by Himura Ryusai was Group One of the Dark Fang Society, also known internally as the Hades Fang Group.
Himura Ryusai excelled at frontal assaults and breaking formations on the battlefield. His saber techniques were fierce and overbearing, crushing opponents with pure strength!
Thus, the combat power of the Hades Fang Group was evident. That was why Saionji Sawa felt so at ease sending them to Qiantang.
But she never expected that such combat power would be completely wiped out.
She only managed two groups in total; now, it was as if one of her arms had been cut off.
How could this eldest young miss not be anxious?
She forced herself to calm down; she couldn't afford to be impulsive again. Otherwise, it would lead to a grave mistake.
That damned Sato, it's all because of you!
Saionji Sawa summoned her subordinate again and ordered: "Go find out exactly who brought the stamps Sato was selling to Qiantang!"
The subordinate bowed: "Hai! Eldest Miss Sawa, I will investigate immediately!"
On the other side, Su Nange and Liu Yuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Su Nange felt that the Japanese probably wouldn't dare come to Qiantang again for a while. Moreover, with such a big commotion, the Qiantang government would never allow it!
Finally, he could get a good night's sleep. This guy had been busy since last night and hadn't closed his eyes until now.
So, he went to Liu Yuan's comfortable large bed and began to sleep soundly.
But when the young miss finished her shower and came over, seeing the man lying there like a dead pig, her small face puffed up like a steamed bun!
She raised a leg that shimmered with a faint luster and kicked him out!
Su Nange woke up with a start on the floor: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Is there an earthquake?"
Seeing the giggling young miss, Su Nange finally realized what was happening.
Before his eyes were those beautiful legs, full of a hazy allure.
"Alright! You little vixen, take a strike from Old Sun's staff!"
The next day, Liu Yuan went to the company as usual. Su Nange rarely got to sleep in at her luxurious home.
Unexpectedly, he was woken up by a phone call.
"President Zhou, why is it you? It's rare for you to call me. Is something the matter?"
A noble female voice came from the other side: "Didn't you say last time that you'd agree to help me with a favor? Come over this afternoon, I have something for you to do."
Su Nange was still a bit dazed: "I'm not free this afternoon, I have to go to Qianjiang University."
"What are you going to Qianjiang University for? Aren't you from Qianjiang City College?"
"Do you have some kind of illness where you feel uncomfortable if you don't insult someone? Why can't I go?"
"Then come pick me up first, I'll go with you."
Su Nange hung up the phone: What on earth does this woman want?
At 1:30 PM, Su Nange's car stopped punctually downstairs at the City Investment Company.
After a short while, an urban beauty appeared elegantly.
Sitting in the car, Su Nange couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
This woman's temperament was truly excellent.
Her slightly wavy hair was clipped behind her head with a metal hairpin; it looked casual yet felt very exquisite. Paired with her somewhat cold, ascetic face, she was a total heartbreaker for young men.
Zhou Wanqing and Liu Yuan were like two different branches of a noble pedigree.
Liu Yuan was more enchanting, while Zhou Wanqing was more ethereal.
If he could collect them both... Su Nange couldn't help but gulp.
Zhou Wanqing got into the car, bringing with her a rich fragrance of orchids that was intoxicating.
The car started, and Zhou Wanqing asked: "Why are you suddenly going to Qianjiang University?"
"I want to start a company and I'm going there to scout for talent."
"You want to start a company?"
"Is it that strange? I can't sell insurance for the rest of my life, can I? Or are you reluctant to see me go?"
Truth be told, if another salesman were to come in the future, Zhou Wanqing would definitely prefer it to be Su Nange.
However, she also knew that this guy's abilities could no longer be confined to a small place.
To go out and soar to success, starting a company was indeed the most suitable path.
Of course, Zhou Wanqing could also see that his quick decision was likely because things with Su Yao had been completely settled.
He no longer needed any excuses to interact with her.
That was why Zhou Wanqing had also made a decision this morning.
Su Nange asked: "By the way, what was it you wanted me for? Why not just say it now?"
Zhou Wanqing: "Let's talk about it tonight. You pick a place, and we'll have dinner."
Ah? Su Nange couldn't deny he was quite excited. Now, he was only missing this older sister. Hehe.
This woman, usually so busy, putting down her work specifically to do something completely unrelated with him. Could she be...?
"What are you smirking about?"
Su Nange quickly replied: "Nothing, I just came across a joke today."
Regardless of whether Zhou Wanqing wanted to hear it, he started telling it.
"So there's this couple shopping on Xizi Avenue. They pass a milk tea shop, and the girl asks the boy if he wants to drink something. The boy says no, and the girl gets angry."
"The boy starts to coax her, and the girl complains, 'You don't even know where I'm angry!'"
"President Zhou, do you know how that boy answered?"
Zhou Wanqing gave him a sidelong glance, acting cold and aloof.
Su Nange awkwardly continued on his own.
"Haha, the boy very righteously said, 'I know! The place you're angry is right here on Xizi Avenue, isn't it?'"
The air suddenly went silent.
Su Nange, somewhat undeterred: "There's another joke. Why doesn't the emperor listen to the eunuchs?"
Zhou Wanqing turned her head away again: "How boring!"
Su Nange ignored her: "Because, the words of a eunuch are all 'ball-less' talk (unfounded)."
The veins on Zhou Wanqing's forehead began to throb.
"Are you sick?"
Su Nange was determined to go all the way with her! You brat.
"A girl bought a piece of clothing and a pound of sausages online. She was very satisfied with both, so she wrote reviews."
"As it turns out, she mixed them up. Under the sausage review, she wrote 'The size is very fitting and it's very comfortable.'"
"Even better, the shop owner replied to her: 'Safety first.'"
Zhou Wanqing said fiercely: "If you tell another one of these jokes, I'll kill you!"
Su Nange curled his lip: "One day, a refrigerator and an ice cream had an argument. The ice cream left in a huff. But it was too hot outside, so the ice cream had to come back to the refrigerator to make up."
"Do you know what the refrigerator said?"
Zhou Wanqing knew this man was doing it on purpose.
She felt somewhat helpless against this rascal and rested her finger against her forehead.
"What did it say?"
Su Nange: "The refrigerator said: 'Get in here and freeze (do it) yourself!'"
Zhou Wanqing couldn't take it anymore. She reached out and gave Su Nange a sharp flick on the head!
