116: Chapter 116 The Person Behind Qin Peifeng

Looking at the gloomy-faced Mr. Zheng, the person standing in front of him felt a little bit of fear, but since there was something to report, he had to say it.

The refined young man took a deep breath and said,

"Young Master Zheng, the people from Aolu Group just called. They refused to hand over that batch of machines to us directly. They said we need to provide some information before they will give it to us; otherwise, they won't release the machines."

"Hmph! Do they not know who I am? Even if that Robinson doesn't know who I am, doesn't Xia Wei know? No one has ever been able to keep something I want."

Mr. Zheng sneered. He actually didn't mind at all that they wouldn't give him the items. After all, it wasn't his anyway; he was just helping someone else ask for it.

"But, Young Master Zheng..."

"But what 'but'? There are no 'buts'. This isn't something we absolutely must have. While it would be beneficial for us if this were accomplished, it doesn't matter if it isn't. It's just that this Aolu Group is being a bit too arrogant."

Mr. Zheng smiled disdainfully. Although in Hua Qing's description, this Aolu Group was definitely not as simple as he thought, in front of Mr. Zheng, they were nothing special.

However, he hadn't expected that even after he lowered his status to personally ask for this batch of machinery, Aolu Group would still keep stalling. He had even given them a way out, yet they still refused. In that case, he couldn't be blamed for making things difficult for them.

"Anyway, I don't have anything to do in Zhili Country. I'll just treat this as a vacation and have some fun," Mr. Zheng said with a smile.

Although Mr. Zheng usually appeared to be a gentleman, only those closest to him knew the darkness in his heart. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, and Mr. Zheng was precisely that kind of villain.

The refined middle-aged man's face showed fear. He had followed him for so many years, and every time he saw this smile from Mr. Zheng, someone was bound to be in big trouble.

...

Zhang Shan felt uncomfortable everywhere while staying in the hospital ward. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he might just fall apart, so he resolutely escaped from the hospital.

Clang. After closing the door and turning on the lights, Xia Wei was startled to see Zhang Shan sitting on the sofa.

"Robinson, why are you here?"

First, Xia Wei's reaction to seeing Zhang Shan was to wonder how he knew where she lived. Her second reaction was that he had injuries on his body, so why wasn't he recuperating properly in the hospital? Why come to her house? What if he developed some sequelae?

Zhang Shan sat on the sofa, staring straight at her, simply not saying a word.

Looking at him, Xia Wei had no choice but to speak in a soft, gentle voice.

"What's going on? Why aren't you staying in the hospital properly? Your injuries haven't healed yet, so why did you run over to my house?"

"What else could I be doing? Aren't you asking the obvious? I missed you, and I couldn't sleep because of it," Zhang Shan said with a grin.

"You really are becoming more and more glib. Do you think I'll believe that?" Xia Wei said with dissatisfaction.

"Believe it or not, you have to. After all, I'm already here. What can you do if you don't believe me?"

Zhang Shan said with an arrogant expression.

"Pfft. You're just good at talking," Xia Wei said as she put down her bag.

Zhang Shan hugged her and sat on the sofa.

"Weiwei! You need to be more careful about your safety. When I escaped from the hospital today, I discovered that many people were monitoring me, and from what I found, their strength is not weak. Since you are someone related to me, I'm worried that these people might target you because they can't get to me."

"What? They would target me?" Hearing this, Xia Wei was truly startled.

"This is very possible." Zhang Shan nodded with a gloomy face. These assassins were like death squads. He felt that if they could kill him by using Xia Wei, the assassins probably wouldn't refuse.

Therefore, in the face of such matters, he had to maintain twelve points of vigilance.

Although he had arranged for some bodyguards to be by Xia Wei's side, that was only for general situations. If they were facing powerful assassins, this bit of security force would be far from enough.

Furthermore, even if the bodyguards could protect her safety, he couldn't be certain if they would accidentally hurt Xia Wei. Therefore, he decided to send some more capable people to guard her side.

"Then what should I do?"

Xia Wei didn't know what Zhang Shan was thinking. Hearing Zhang Shan say that those assassins might target her, she was frightened until her face turned pale.

"Then, then, um, should I go learn some self-defense?" Xia Wei said hesitantly.

"Heh," Zhang Shan chuckled.

"What are you laughing at? I'm being serious. It's threatening my life safety; how can I not consider it thoroughly?"

Seeing Zhang Shan laugh, Xia Wei's mood became less tense.

"Do you think you can learn any defensive moves in a short time? Or do you think you'll have the confidence to beat those top-tier assassins with what you learn?"

"What you say is also true. After all, I'm just a little woman, and I don't like fighting and killing scenes," Xia Wei said.

"Aiya, Weiwei, you are really cute," Zhang Shan flicked Xia Wei's nose.

Xia Wei was rendered at a loss by him.

"After saying so much, you still haven't told me what I should do," Xia Wei timely pulled him back to the main topic.

"This problem should be worried about by your man. What you need to do now is go to work properly, get off work properly, and eat properly. You just need to keep vigilant at all times. I will ensure your safety; after all, you are my woman."

After finishing, he and Xia Wei looked at each other and smiled.

...

Qin Peifeng sat on the sofa listening to the things that had happened in Zhili Country these days. It wasn't that he didn't want to participate in these matters, but that he had no way to participate; Qin Zhiyuan alone was enough to keep him overwhelmed.

"Young Master Qin, the news transmitted by our people on the police side says that Robinson took down over a dozen top-tier assassins by himself this time," said Uncle Ning, Qin Peifeng's butler.

"What? Over a dozen top-tier assassins? And they didn't manage to kill him? Is his strength really that powerful?"

Qin Peifeng didn't quite believe it.

"Yes, Young Master, you heard correctly. Indeed, that many people didn't manage to kill him."

"It seems that if we want to kill him, we might have to pay a greater price," Qin Peifeng said coldly, swirling his red wine glass.

"Young Master, I think you should change your own thinking," Uncle Ning said.

"Oh? What thinking should I change? Do you think this Robinson shouldn't die?"

"It's not that, Young Master. Whether he should die or not has nothing to do with us; after all, he doesn't have any deep hatred with us. Victor is already dead, and there is no need for us to avenge him; after all, he didn't bring us any economic benefits."
