Female Novel
Chapter 46
At this moment, a fierce-looking burly man with a wide nose came in, his fists were rough andcalloused and he was walking with a magnificent stride. At first glance, one can tell that he was amartial artist. It was Li Ziyang’s number one bodyguard, Hei Hu.
“Hei Hu, sit wherever you want,” Li Ziyang said aloud without raising his head, keeping his eyes on theLincoln limousine that just arrived downstairs.
Hei Hu nodded and looked down with contempt. “Young Master Li, it's merely a car worth about 20million. If you really like it, just get your people to buy it.”
Although cars worth 20 million could easily attract the attention of ordinary folks, they were nothing butlarge toys in the eyes of Li Ziyang and these other rich giants; even Hei Hu could afford this car easily.
Li Ziyang shook his head, squinting his eyes as he said in a deep voice, “Hei Hu, you only look at thesurface level of things. Take a closer look at this car, what is the difference between this car fromothers?”
Hei Hu frowned as he looked closely this time, and his expression sobered instantly. “A military carplate? This is pretty interesting.” He was deep in thought, but his tone was still full of arrogance as hecontinued, “But Young Master Li, our Li family has connections all over Jiangling. Even the officer withreal power in the military theater is an honored guest of Mr. Li’s. The Lincoln car would probably meanthat he was nothing beyond the rank of a field officer, nothing special.” novelbin
“It’s not such a simple matter, Hei Hu. Look at the patterns adorned on the door, did you see the dragonpatterns?” Li Ziyang said as he shook his head and pointed at the patterns on the Lincoln limousine;there was a dragon pattern that was not normally visible if one didn’t look hard enough.
“I’ve seen a lot of military vehicles in the past before, but this is the first time I’ve seen one with thepattern of a dragon head,” Li Ziyang said as his eyes were filled with fear. “I’ve heard from my fatherthat the dragon head pattern is a symbol of Donghua’s glory. If you are not someone of a high rank,you’re not allowed to use it without permission, as that would be a crime punishable by death. Even themayor of Jiangling and the head of Jiangling’s military theater were not qualified to use the pattern. Itwas said that ten years ago when the number one commander under Lord Chu came to visit Jiangling,he was riding in a similar luxury car with dragon head patterns on it!”
Hei Hu suddenly gulped down some air, his heart trembling; what did it signify to be a greatcommander under Lord Chu, just what kind of distinguished identity was this?
Lord Chu was a great figure, holding the authority to command the entire military. Under his command,he was the number one general with forces numbering up to eight hundred thousand soldiers, enoughto compare with the four military theaters of Jiangling. Right now, there was a bigshot with a similarstatus, if not even greater, waiting just below their tea house. This...
“Just why did such a prestigious figure arrive here in Jiangling City?” Hei Hu said as he sucked in theair, feeling true fear. “He couldn’t possibly be here to come after our Li Family, could he? After all, themethods we’ve been using to make money in the past years had been pretty much illegal.”
Li Ziyang laughed to himself, waving his hands as he answered, “Hei Hu, you’re overthinking it. Eventhough our Li Family has a lot of influence and assets here in Jiangling, we are far from being able toinfluence the whole nation. That bigshot in thar car, he could even turn the entire Jiangling upside downwith just a mere wave of his hands. Our Li family is not even worth anything in his eyes.”
A feeling of powerlessness rose within Li Ziyang. As the ‘First Young Master of Jiangling’, this was thefirst time for him to feel so powerless and helpless. He could only sigh bitterly and thought to himselfthat there were powers way beyond his reach, and worlds beyond worlds.
“Hei Hu, once Chu Feng comes over, handle it properly in order to not disturb that big shot. Do youunderstand?”
“Yes,” Hei Hu nodded as he said.
Li Ziyang had mixed feelings of awe and fear toward the incoming luxury car. Deep in his heart, he wasworried that his actions today would upset the bigshot. With just a wave of his hands, he could easilycause the eradication of the Li Family.
Hopefully, this big shot was just passing through here… Li Ziyang took a deep breath and returned tothe tea brewing table, skilfully brewing a pot of Kung Fu Tea, to meditate and calm the feeling ofunease he had.
About half a minute after Li Ziyang and Hei Hu left the balcony, just downstairs, the Lincoln luxury carwith the dragon head patterns stopped and the doors opened wide.
