"You'd better keep your mouth shut about things you shouldn't ask. I'm only warning you once: don't be too curious about me, and even if you are, don't inquire or investigate. Otherwise, I'll make sure you have money but no life to enjoy it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man walked to the door with his hands behind his back, opened the door to the private room, and someone was already waiting for him outside. "Mr. Zuo, your hotel room is ready. Let me take you to rest."

"Hmm." The man nodded slightly and walked out as the other person pointed.

Xia Quan'an, finally recovering from his shock, pointed at the man's departing figure and complained to Ji Nian, "Hey, did you hear that? What did that kid just say? He threatened us! Who does he think he is, daring to threaten us! He won't even let me investigate his background, but I'm going to investigate anyway, or I'll find something on him!"

"Forget it, forget it." Ji Nian acted as a peacemaker. "Why are you getting angry with that weirdo? It's better to avoid trouble. He looks gloomy and might actually have some tricks up his sleeve. It's best not to provoke him. By the way, didn't you find this guy? Don't you know anything about him?"

"I know nothing!" Xia Quan'an retorted angrily. "I didn't bring him here; he came to me on his own!"

Ji Nian: "He contacted you?"

"Nonsense, he's the one who came to me. I don't know where he got the information that I was going to deal with the Mu family, but he said he could help me achieve my goal and get all of the Mu family's assets. He sounded very convincing, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to have another person involved, and that's how I ended up bringing him in. But look what happened, he didn't help me at all!"

"I think this guy is either bluffing or he actually has some skills. Judging from his appearance, he also has a deep-seated hatred for the Mu family. Why don't we keep him around for now, and if anything happens, push him to the front lines and have him risk his life for us? What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, a calculating glint flashed in Xia Quan'an's eyes as well. The two exchanged a smile and remained silent.

On the other side, Mr. Zuo arrived at the door of the room his subordinates had prepared for him. He swiped his card to enter, and a uniquely feminine fragrance immediately wafted into his nostrils. He immediately saw a woman wearing a red lace nightgown, barefoot on the floor, her bright red lips making a seductive gesture towards him.

Mr. Zuo frowned, a barely perceptible hint of disgust flashing in his eyes, and turned to glare at his subordinate, Xiao Bai.

"Mr. Zuo, I see you're tired from your journey and haven't had a chance to release your stress in a long time, so I've specially found a kind and understanding young lady to give you a massage to help you relax."

Previously, Mr. Zuo would instruct Yi Bai to find a woman almost every one or two nights, and each time he was not allowed to have the same woman twice. However, since arriving in Philadelphia, he hadn't found one even once. Yi Bai assumed that Mr. Zuo had forgotten or was too busy to attend to it, so he specially picked out the best girl to send over.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zuo said nothing, waved his hand, and dismissed Yi Bai.

The door closed, and the woman walked gracefully to Mr. Zuo and stopped in front of him, saying sweetly, "Mr. Zuo, my name is Jiaojiao."

"Jiaojiao, her name is just as beautiful as her name."

Mr. Zuo reached out and embraced the woman's slender waist, pressing close to her and bringing his thin lips near.

The woman blinked her almond-shaped eyes, her red lips slightly parted, and said with a playful smile, "Mr. Zuo, you really know how to talk. It's such a beautiful time, Mr. Zuo, why waste your time? Let Jiaojiao help you relax."
