Humph! This person really doesn’t put in his eyes. Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Zhu Hong let out a cold laugh.
However, the other party’s attitude made him realize one thing. Even if he is Zhu Chuan’s direct disciple, without enough strength, he still has no say.
He didn’t know much about this Ying Hall’s Eagle Claw; from Zhu Chuan’s words, there are two Eagle Claws in Ying Hall, true elites of the hall with formidable strength. To receive such praise from Zhu Chuan indicates that they are truly capable. If this Eagle Claw can really deal with Ling Chen, then a bit of mistreatnt would be worth it.
Putting away the phone, Zhu Hong turned and went back to the hall. He looked at Zhu Xiaozhu, who was sitting silently on the side, and smiled as he asked, "Little sister, why do you look so unhappy? Are you not pleased to see back?"
Hearing Zhu Hong’s words, Zhu Xiaozhu lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, "No."
The Zhu Yaosheng couple on the sofa also noticed sothing was wrong with Zhu Xiaozhu, "Xiaozhu, you usually cheer up the most when your brother cos ho. We’ve been chatting for so long, and you haven’t said a word. What’s on your mind?"
Before Zhu Xiaozhu could speak, Zhu Hong interrupted with a smile, "Dad, little sister’s not a child anymore, she’s over twenty. When a girl grows up, she’ll always have so worries. Mom, don’t you think so?"
Chen Yan’s eyes lit up, as a woman, of course, she caught the implication of Zhu Hong’s words.
"My dear daughter, do you... have a man you care about?"
"No, no." Zhu Xiaozhu was startled, not expecting Chen Yan to say that, and quickly waved her hand: "Mom, stop guessing, I don’t have anyone I like at the mont, if I do, I’ll definitely bring them ho to et you. I’m just feeling a bit unwell." Then, Zhu Xiaozhu stood up, "Dad, Mom, brother, you carry on chatting, I’m going to my room to rest."
Watching Zhu Xiaozhu hurriedly leave, Zhu Yaosheng smiled helplessly, "This girl has grown up, she doesn’t tell us her worries anymore. Zhu Hong, as her older brother, you should pay more attention to your sister, okay?"
"Dad, I know." Zhu Hong nodded, "You sit here for a while, I’ll go check on little sister."
Leaving the hall, Zhu Hong caught up with Zhu Xiaozhu, calling out, "Little sister, wait for !"
Zhu Xiaozhu kept her head down, pretending she hadn’t heard Zhu Hong, quickening her pace straight to her room. But before she could enter, Zhu Hong’s hand suddenly reached from behind, resting on her shoulder.
"Little sister, why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhu Xiaozhu lightly bit her lip, reluctantly turning around to face Zhu Hong’s smiling face, her heart trembled inexplicably. For so reason, after witnessing Zhu Hong’s true colors, no matter how he acted, he always seed repugnant and terrifying to her.
"Brother, do you... need sothing from ?" Zhu Xiaozhu dared not et Zhu Hong’s eyes, instinctively bowing her head again, staring at the smooth floor.
"It’s nothing, I just haven’t seen you in a while and wanted to chat. Let’s talk in your room."
Zhu Xiaozhu had no choice but to lead Zhu Hong into her bedroom. After they were seated, Zhu Hong gazed into Zhu Xiaozhu’s clear eyes, remaining silent for a long ti, as if deep in thought.
After a while, Zhu Hong slowly put away his smile and said, "Little sister, I know what you’re afraid of. I’m sorry, I was too foolish in the past, reckless and inconsiderate, I hope you can forgive and give a chance to redeem myself."
"Brother..." Zhu Xiaozhu looked up, staring directly at Zhu Hong, "I almost died, at your hands, do you know? I don’t know what you were thinking at that ti, how you could be so ruthless to kill your own sister. Since that day, I’ve realized you’re no longer the brother I used to have; hatred and power have blinded you. In your eyes, as long as you achieve your goals, anything can be sacrificed, including your family."
"Little sister, it’s not like that, listen to ..."
Zhu Xiaozhu sighed softly, "Brother, you don’t need to say anything, nothing works now, I’ve long figured it out. Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with anymore, I just ask that you don’t involve the family. Mom and Dad are innocent, they don’t know what you’re doing outside, and I hope you don’t disturb their peaceful life. Is that okay?"
Zhu Hong was silent for a mont, then smiled and nodded, "They’re your parents, they’re my parents too; I care about them as much as you do. Don’t worry, I won’t involve you all, but... I also hope you can help by keeping it hidden from Mom and Dad, so they won’t suspect anything."
"Okay." Pausing briefly, Zhu Xiaozhu hesitated, "Brother, I still hope you can turn over a new leaf and not fall deeper. Otherwise, you won’t even have the chance to regret it."
"Little sister, do you think I still have a chance to regret?" Before Zhu Xiaozhu could respond, Zhu Hong reached out to stop her, "Alright, you don’t need to persuade , I know what I’m doing. The main thing is, stay out of my business, I know my limits. As for Ling Chen... stay away from him, lest you get hurt again." Finished talking, Zhu Hong stood up and walked straight out the door.
After leaving Zhu Xiaozhu, Zhu Hong didn’t look for the Zhu Yaosheng couple but instead left the Zhu Family directly. He didn’t return to Beijing aimlessly this ti; Zhu Chuan had given him a task that he had to complete.
Half an hour later, Zhu Hong drove to a luxurious villa.
After getting out of the car, Zhu Hong approached the front door and rang the doorbell. Soon, two security personnel in suits walked over quickly, looked at Zhu Hong with caution, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Please inform Mr. Hong that he has an important guest." As he spoke, Zhu Hong took out a carved iron plate with an eagle from his pocket and handed it over.
In less than two minutes, Hong Wei, dressed in a loose Tang suit, ca to the door surrounded by a group of security personnel.
"Sir, I am Hong Wei." Hong Wei greeted warmly with a smile.
Zhu Hong nodded without a word and followed Hong Wei into the villa.
After the two sat down, Zhu Hong swept his eyes over the room full of security personnel, maintaining his silence. Seeing this, Hong Wei imdiately understood and quickly dismissed all the security personnel from the living room.
Once only the two of them were left in the living room, Hong Wei spoke, "Sir, may I know how to address you?"
"You don’t need to know that." Zhu Hong said blandly, "We received your call for help, and they specifically sent to assist you."
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"Mr. Hong, don’t rush to thank just yet, it’s best if we clarify the terms before I help you."
