Chapter Thirty-Eight: Beyond Expectations

  Although it's early autumn, the wind is very cool. Most people would get drunk from a little wine, but Shen Qingyang isn't an ordinary person. The refreshing autumn breeze blew away all the alcohol, and he sobered up by more than half, yet his face remained red.

  There are three cars parked on the small square in front of "Yishui Zhai", two black and one silver. The black ones are BMW 7 series, and the silver one is a new 04 Ford GT sports car. Two bodyguards stand at the front and back of the sports car respectively, while the rest surround San Ye five meters apart, forming a tight cordon!

  Shen Qingyang took a glance at the "formation", and this was what the bodyguards looked like, they could only scare off those little hoodlums, but if real killers came, the bodyguard in front of the car would be the first to die, and San Ye would be the third one to die as he faced the killer directly!

  He couldn't help but frown, Xu Zongzi was the most valuable chip in his hand, and if he wanted to stand firm in Zhonghai, this chip could not be lost easily!

  "How's it going? Brother, have you seen this broken car of Xiang Zhong Ge?"

  Shen Qing stared at GT for a whole minute, so San Ye noticed it.

  "Haha!" Shen Qingyang shook his head, he himself liked cars, especially American muscle cars, fast and powerful. This Ford GT looked a bit exaggerated in shape, but indeed not bad, quite fitting for someone like Shen Qingyang who was a bit crazy. But San Ye's build was obviously not suitable for this car, he should be driving a Hummer H-series off-road vehicle!

  "Third Master, was it you who taught our brothers their formation?" Shen Qingyang's smile faded, his eyebrows exuding a stern aura.

  What's wrong with this guy, picking a fight with the bodyguard? San Ye looked around for a while, today's formation is not bad, it's a "T" shape defense, I'm not afraid of a frontal attack, but I'm worried about being plotted against from behind!

  "What's going on?" San Ye asked in puzzlement.

  Shen Qingyang grasped his chef's hat and walked slowly to the opposite side of the sports car: "For example, if an enemy were to appear now, this kind of defense..."

  Special forces-born Shen Qingyang has stormed various strongholds and understands that the most important thing for a bodyguard is not some crappy formation, but dynamic reaction ability, emergency response speed, and the skill to knock someone out with one hit!

  Shen Qingyang stood nonchalantly by the street, when suddenly a flash of light came from the entrance of "Tianze Garden" across the street. Shen Qingyang sneered in his heart: Heh heh, actually so comfortable monitoring me?

  Everyone was staring at Shen Qingyang, wondering what kind of trouble he would stir up this time. However, from San Ye's eyes, everything could be read: Get ready!

  Shen Qingyang's muscles were tense all over, but on the surface he looked very relaxed, carrying his hat and walking towards the sports car. Just as a taxi passed by behind him, Shen Qingyang made his move! Some people say it's "still like a virgin, moving like a rabbit", do rabbits run fast? No, what's important is that rabbits have a fast reaction speed, Shen Qingyang was that quick-reacting rabbit, everyone didn't even see what happened, the two bodyguards in front of the sports car were already lying on the ground, they didn't even have time to groan. A black shadow flashed over the sports car and instantly appeared right in front of San Ye, the taxi on the street had just passed by!

  "Third Master, you know what's going on now, right?" Shen Qingyang looked gloomily at the back of Third Master, those few bodyguards had already been scared silly.

  "It's just grass! The knife hasn't even been pulled out yet."

  "Pull out a knife, if this is true, the boss would have died!"

  "How did he manage that? Weren't those two in front of him well-rounded in both offense and defense?"

  "What's the point of having both? They're all useless now!"

  Everyone was stunned, San Ye suddenly turned around: "Did you see that? How did I die?"

  Go to hell, who knows how you died?

  "Third Master, do you know what's going on?"

  How could Third Master not know? His bodyguards are a bunch of good-for-nothings!

  "Good!" San Ye hugged Shen Qingyang and entered Yi Shui Zhai.

  How to reward? I don't know! This is a lesson for us to learn from and prevent defensive loopholes next time... Is there even a next time?!

  Two people sat on the chair, Shen Qingyang had already brewed Longjing tea for San Ye. Just now, Shen Qingyang's demonstration really scared San Ye out of his wits, if this little guy was the killer, his own life would have been gone, luckily... San Ye's heart suddenly sank: Killer! The cook is a killer!

  "Listen up, kid! I'm asking you two questions and I want straight answers!" San Ye puffed on his cigar, tapping it on the table: "What exactly do you do?"

  "Kitchen!"

  "Stop bullshitting, to be honest, I don't like beating around the bush!"

  That's just his nature!

  Shen Qingyang lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth: "Third Master, what do you think I look like?"

  "Assassin!"

  "Yes!"

  "Hahaha... hahahaha!" San Ye laughed heartily, his big yellow teeth showing, tea splashing everywhere on the table, and saliva flying all over the place as he slapped his chest and stamped his feet, laughing: "I'm dead!"

  Shen Qingyang still had a signature smile on his face, and a ring of smoke puffed out: "The people I've killed can form a team, do you believe it?"

  Laughter stopped abruptly!

  Third Master nodded: "Believe it!"

  "Little brother, once I pick up a kitchen knife, I'm just a cook; but put down my pride and I'll be the one doing the killing!"

  I love it!

  "Third Master, do you know why I appeared in the Central Sea?"

  "Little brother, why?"

  "Third Master, I've come to find someone and something!"

  "Little brother, this is easy to handle, Third Master's brothers are all over the Mediterranean and can help you find!"

  "Third Master, you can't find it!"

  "Little brother, you're underestimating me!"

  "Third Master, it's not..."

  "Little brother, it's..."

  Third Master was a bit dizzy! He put down his cigar, took a sip of water and restrained his wild laughter: "Younger brother, the words spoken at the wine table are true, and now the words are also true! I don't care who you are or what you do, from now on, you are me, and I am you!"

  This is exactly what Shen Qingyang wants! Don't mention the money, what's the point of mentioning money? Didn't 30 million just get thrown out? Weren't those bastards also intimidated by themselves? This is exactly what he wants to hear!

  "Third Master, I'm still a cook, even if I were your younger brother, I'd still be a cook, got it?"

  "Haha... I have another question, what did you say at the wine table that made me hug a woman and brothers become eunuchs?" San Ye really didn't understand this matter!

  Grass! You still remember that?

  "For example, you are the emperor, and you are having an affair with one of your 72 concubines, aren't the ones serving you on the side all eunuchs?"

  "Hahaha...... Hahahahaha......"

  The bodyguard outside was as still as a virgin, but when he heard the crazy laughter inside, he couldn't help but sigh: "Damn it, he's messed up!"

  "Little brother, you're just staying here to find someone in the kitchen?"

  Shen Qingyang restrained his smile, how easy is it to find someone to talk to? Some things are too painful to recall, some memories are unbearable to look back on!

  "I've been to Zhonghai for three days, staying at Yishui Zhai. Coincidentally, I ran into the owner of Yishui Zhai, Qu Shifu, who was driven away by Tianze Garden, supposedly to help with cooking, and he still hasn't returned. That's why I have to repay the kindness!"

  "Oh!" San Ye narrowed his eyes, seemingly pondering a question, and only smiled after a moment: "What do you think of my nephew?"

  How are you? Just a protection fee collector, no match for that rent collector!

  "Third Master, are you asking me to follow you?" Shen Qingyang wouldn't go around evaluating him, underworld matters aren't easy to discuss, especially with this moody guy. However, Shen Qingyang had met countless people and Xu Jiazi's strong point was "recognizing people"!

  Recognizing people is a great skill! Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Zhu Yuanzhang and others are all masters of recognizing people. As the saying goes, "A thousand-mile horse is often found, but a Bole is not", which means that it's easy to find talented people, but hard to find someone who can appreciate them.

  "What's going on?" San Ye's eyebrows formed a "one" shape, with small sparks dancing in his eyes, as if begging for talent. Who let his subordinates be a bunch of useless people?

  Shen Qingyang was speechless. Not bad!

  "Brother, I've been through countless things and it's clear that you're not a mediocre person. What I mean is to do something big! San Ye's territory isn't large, but his ambition is huge. San Ye's power isn't great, but his face is very important! Doing big things can't rely on these things, San Ye naturally understands this!"

  "Give me two days to consider..."

  "Whatever... who cares? Look, that GT is yours, come and get it!"

  Suddenly three security guards rushed in from outside, and two more were following at the door. Only after they came in did they find that the two men were hugging each other and chatting.

  "Go get the GT key!"

  gt？

  What's up?

  Key!

  Grass! It's a car!

  "Third Master is a rough man, this thing is just a waste in my hands, you take it and I'll thank you!" Third Master slapped the car key on the table, then stood up and bowed to Shen Qingyang: "Brother, Heishi Town, tomorrow, I'll personally come to pick you up! Xiao Mao, you're in charge of demolishing Yi Shui Zhai, do it under our company's name, tear it down!"

  Several subordinates did not dare to laugh, and even less dared to answer. The "hanging guest face" immediately responded with a sound: "Demolish tomorrow?"

  He's called a slacker!

  Shen Qingyang waved his hand: "This matter needs to be carefully considered!"

  A group of people, with a majestic and proud air, came out of the Yi Shui Zhai. Shen Qingyang whispered a few words into San Ye's ear, and San Ye's face changed before he quickly got into his BMW. Several bodyguards hastily bid farewell to Shen Qingyang.

  This guy will be tomorrow's new dad!

  Two BMW cars rushed out of Yishui Zhai Square and went in two directions on the main street, each leaving separately.

  After seeing off Xu Manzi, Shen Qingyang stood at the door of Yishui Zhai, holding a chef's hat in his hand, staring at the gate of Tianze Garden across the street, and sneered. That pair of glasses was still monitoring him.

  Shen Qingyang turned around and went back into the house, grabbing two chopsticks from the table. He walked out the door and took a glance at the small square in front of Tianze Garden, which was about thirty meters away. Shen Qingyang lit a cigarette and leaned against the door of Yi Shui Zhai, the remaining sunlight casting a golden glow that made it hard to keep his eyes open.

  Madam Yu's used chopsticks were not the black bamboo wooden ones provided by "Yishui Studio", but rather the stainless steel carved ones, which felt heavy in her hand.

  Shen Qingyang waited for the right moment, and as soon as that door opened, he would nail him to it! One cigarette later, the gate of Tianze Garden still had no movement. Shen Qingyang pondered for a moment, his arm secretly gathering strength, and with one swing, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared, silently piercing through the street and shooting towards the gate of Tianze Garden!

  Fast enough, vigorous enough! A crisp sound came into his ears, Shen Qingyang stood in the house and looked towards the opposite side, a group of people in front of the door, flurried and seemingly extremely fearful of that chopstick!

  Hehe! Boss Xue still owes me the debt from that brutal game of mahjong!

  Just as Shen Qingyang was thinking about how to collect the debt, the door suddenly burst open and two "blood men" entered! Their faces and bodies were covered in blood, making it impossible to see their features, but judging from their build, they were Ah Bao!

  "Little brother, hurry!" Ah-yi's back was carrying a person, and before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground with a thud, panting heavily!

  When Shen Qingyang was a mercenary, he often encountered such situations. The man's back, limbs, and neck were all covered in knife wounds, with several fatal penetrating injuries. This person was beyond saving!

  Unable to just stand by and watch, Shen Qingyang quickly rushed into the house, grabbed a quilt from the bed and ran out, lifting the person's body with one hand and stuffing the quilt underneath.

  "Uncle is gone!" Shen Qingyang took a look at the other's pupils, which had already dispersed, and tried again to check his nasal breathing, but he had long stopped breathing!

  Yuba took off his outer garment, and on his left arm there were two knife wounds, but they were not too deep, not fatal. Shen Qingyang drove Yuba to the kitchen, washed the wound with clear water, then applied half a bottle of white wine, and wrapped it with white cloth several times.

  "What's going on?" Shen Qingyang's face was cold and stern as he looked at the corpse on the ground: "Who is this?"

  Yu Bo had calmed down by now, grabbed the red wine on the table and poured it into his mouth. His old face was cold and expressionless.

  "Little brother, he is the boss of Yi Shui Zhai, Xiang Er's father, Qu Zhichun!"
