"Sister, are we just going to let that * sshole go?" Rena yelled frantically.
"He's already made himself clear," Reya said. "We don't have many people in our family. If we anger him, he'll definitely start a massacre."
"We're so rich. Why should we be afraid of him?"
"We kill him and he kills our family. It's not worth it." Reya looked at Rena.
"So we're just going to let it go?" Rena asked, unwilling to give up.
"That's it. Why did you provoke a mad dog like him?"
"I'm tired. I'm going back to sleep." Rena turned to leave.
Unlike Rena who was young and inexperienced, Reya was much more rational than Rena.
If Chen Zhao could beat down Rena's 12 bodyguards, he definitely had the ability to hurt anyone.
Perhaps they could kill him with their family's power, but what about before that?
A mad dog with bloodshot eyes was enough to make anyone retreat.
Their family motto was to keep a low profile. As long as it wasn't a death grudge, it wasn't a grudge.
In this society, no one could kill people casually.
Even gangs might not dare to kill people casually, because killing someone usually meant thinking about how to deal with it.
It wasn't like killing a person and burying him would solve everything.
If they didn't clean up all the clues, it would be easy to dig them out.
Some families that had been around for dozens of generations even followed the philosophy of keeping a low profile.
Reya picked up the phone. "Dad, it's over."
"Yes, it's over … How's Rena?"
"She was shouting that she's going to take revenge on that person, but now she's tired from crying and resting."
"How are Jarl and the others?"
"They're seriously injured. They're all in the hospital."
"What do we do with Rena?"
"I don't have enough people here. Even if you send people over, I'm afraid she'll bring people to find trouble with that person again. It's fine if it's just a small fight, but I'm afraid that she'll really push him too far."
"Can that person be bribed?"
"His price is too high. It's not worth it to just be a bodyguard."
"Then bring Rena back."
"She won't leave now."
"Is there no other way?"
"I'll think of something." Reya rubbed her forehead.
"Then work hard and end it quickly. Don't let Rena mess around anymore."
…
As soon as Chen Zhao returned home, he received a call from a stranger. "Mr. Chen."
"Who is it?"
"I'm Reya. We met at the dock."
"What is it?"
"Mr. Chen, do you want to earn some extra money?"
"You're not thinking of killing me, are you?"
"To be honest, the way I see it, the feud between you and Rena is just child's play."
"Are you calling me a child?"
"Alright, let's get back to business. I'll pay, and you play dead once so that Rena can completely let go of the knot in her heart. How about that?"
"How much are you offering?"
"Five hundred thousand dollars."
Chen Zhao was speechless. Rich people could easily spend hundreds of thousands of dollars just to put on a show.
They really didn't treat money as money.
"Can it be higher?"
"Goodbye."
"Wait, I'll take this job. How can I cooperate?"
"Think of a script that you can trust."
"Tomorrow afternoon, take me to the boat," Chen Zhao said. "Then tie me up and throw me into the sea."
"Do you want me to arrange for someone to save you in the sea?"
"No, you just have to do that. I have my own way to escape, but I hope there aren't too many people on the boat. I don't want to be ganged up on again."
"Sure," Reya agreed without hesitation.
Both sides were annoyed by this farce, so both Chen Zhao and Reya wanted it to end as soon as possible.
…
"Chen, you're back."
"Yeah." Chen Zhao nodded but didn't turn on the lights.
He really didn't want Fali to worry about him. After showering, he went to bed.
The next day, Chen Zhao hurried out before Fali woke up.
When he reached Ethan's motel, he was shocked to see Chen Zhao's bruised face.
"What happened to you?"
"That client from last night."
"What happened?" Ethan asked, frowning.
"He has a personal grudge against me and dug a pit for me to jump in."
"I'll help you get back at him."
"No, it's over. Don't worry about it." Chen Zhao shook his head.
"Are you sure?"
"She's just a little girl. What can you do to her? Find someone to gang … rape her? "
"Forget it. Since you said it's over, then let's end it."
"Mr. Chen, you're here. Have you had breakfast?" Li Qing placed a plate of sandwiches that had just come out of the oven on the counter.
Chen Zhao picked one up and started eating. "Not yet. I'm just here to make a living."
"Li, you're an employee of our motel. Can you not side with outsiders?" Ethan complained.
"Auntie Li, you look much better these days."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chen."
Compared to a few days ago, Li Qing didn't just look much better. She even had some vitality that hadn't been there before.
"Mr. Ethan," Li Qing said. "I think you shouldn't go out for a while. I've seen gunshots on the news. You should wait until it's peaceful outside before going out."
Of course, Li Qing knew where Ethan usually went. It was either the red-light district or a bar.
"Don't worry about my business. Who can stand sitting in a motel every day?"
"Then you have to pay attention to your safety."
Chen Zhao glanced at Li Qing. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Auntie Li, do you know physiognomy?"
Chen Zhao conversed with Li Qing in Chinese so that Ethan wouldn't hear.
"Ha … It's just some old stuff. If you believe it, it's true. If you don't, it's not true. Let's not talk about this."
"Auntie Li," Chen Zhao said sincerely. "I only believe in this. Can you read my physiognomy?"
"Mr. Chen, I can't read your physiognomy."
"Why? Is it hard to tell? "
"No, no. I really can't tell. Our family is very particular. Three Shades Seal the Door and Six Spirits Block the Way are all people who can't read their physiognomy."
"What's Three Shades Seal the Door and Six Spirits Block the Way?"
"Those who've seen ghosts, entered the Ghost Gate, or interacted with ghosts are Three Shades Seal the Door. These three have Yin Qi and their faces are sealed. Mr. Chen, you must be one of them, right?"
"Then what's Six Spirits Block the Way?" Chen Zhao didn't answer directly.
"The true self is a Spirit. Those who experience great ups and downs are a Spirit. Those who have the will to die are a Spirit. Those who can revive are a Spirit. Those who practice spells are a Spirit. Those who don't believe in them are a Spirit. Among the Six Spirits, apart from the true self, the other five Spirits are unpredictable. They're not in the Mandate of Heaven, so they don't show their physiognomy."
"Do you see something in Ethan?"
