Ha, you little brat, you dare refuse? Just wait till I get my hands on you...
Zhao Xiaoyue knelt down on the ground in an instant, "Master, I know I was wrong, Master... Waaah!"
Tears came so easily, leaving Hou Taotao and the others stunned. What a great actress!
"Master, please pay attention to me! You have no idea how bored I am. I can't go home, sob sob sob. Other kids get snacks and lucky money, sob sob sob. I have nothing! Ah!! Sob sob sob!"
"All my wealth is yours. Ever since you took the helm of the Hunters, you've received a million dollars a month. Ha! And you're here crying about not getting any New Year's money?"
"Hiccup... no, hiccup... so many, hiccup... how come I don't know?"
Zhao Xiaoyue stopped too abruptly and kept crying and hiccuping.
Zhang Xiaomeng's eyes almost popped out as he cautiously leaned closer to Hou Taotao, "Is the monthly salary for the helmsman really that high?"
Hou Taotao nodded impatiently.
Zhang Xiaomeng swallowed hard. "The captain is so stingy. With so much salary, he can't even buy a plane?"
On second thought, he realized that he would have to do everything in his power to please the captain and get her to buy him a private jet so that he could fly it himself.
Perfect! Hehehe!
"Master, are there really that many? Wouldn't that make me a billionaire?"
Master Pu ignored his apprentice and wanted to pour himself a cup of tea. Zhao Xiaoyue quickly picked up the teapot, poured a cup, and presented it to Master Pu with both hands.
With a grin, he said, "Master, please have some tea."
Master Pu pursed his thin lips and then put the book down. "What brings you to the capital?"
Zhao Xiaoyue reluctantly moved back to her seat and slumped onto the table, looking dejected. "If you don't go back to Yanyang Village, I can't go back either, so I lied to my family and said I had to take extra classes and wouldn't be going back this year. I'll go back during the summer vacation."
You didn't answer my question directly!
Zhao Xiaoyue sat up straight. "Hmph, Sixth Grandfather, just leave me alone. Let me be bullied to death."
"This is the second time."
Hou Taotao was sweating bullets. The captain was really fierce, daring to dodge the question twice and not answer Sixth Brother's question.
Zhao Xiaoyue knew she couldn't go too far, so she started to complain.
"I want Ma Taiping to operate the sewing machine!"
Zhao Xiaoyue spoke through gritted teeth, while the others were completely bewildered.
Zhang Xiaomeng and Hou Taotao exchanged a glance. What did that mean?
Hou Taotao didn't know either. Wasn't it supposed to be handed over to the grain store? Why were they asking someone to operate the sewing machine again? What did this have to do with making clothes?
Then they heard the helmsman saying as he steered the ship around, "Sixth Grandfather, you have no idea what that bastard did. He caused trouble on his very first day in the capital. The hunter lost a lot of money and made a huge fool of himself."
Zhao Xiaoyue spoke with righteous indignation, "And what's more, he actually used our name to commit all sorts of evil deeds outside, it's infuriating!"
Hou Taotao blinked. This was how things were going on; how come he didn't know?
Zhang Xiaomeng rubbed his chin. Had he missed some crucial information last time? Why did it slightly differ from what he knew?
Master Pu glanced at her calmly and knew that her words were neither entirely true nor entirely false.
"So what do you plan to do? You think you're qualified to stir up trouble in Kyoto?"
Zhao Xiaoyue pouted. Of course she wasn't qualified. She was just a little wooden stick, not Sun Wukong's golden cudgel, which was retractable. How could she stir up this vast ocean? She would just drown herself!
However, Xiao Xiaolin is involved in too many things, so the anonymous letter will probably be intercepted before it even reaches its destination.
The government officials she knew were all hiding in some obscure corner, so she had no choice but to resort to the desperate measure of "deceiving her master."
"Master, you know about Ma Taiping's contact with Xiao Xiaolin, right?"
Master Pu shook his head slightly, "I don't know!"
Seeing Zhao Xiaoyue's surprised look, he said, "You're in charge now, Hou Taotao and the others listen to you, there's no need for you to say anything more to me."
Ah?! So that's how it is. She thought Hou Taotao and the others would report everything to Master Pu.
Zhao Xiaoyue briefly recounted Ma Taiping's trip to the capital last time, saying, "I asked Chen Jinghuai to hand over the grain depots in the Northwest."
"Okay, you can handle it as you see fit."
Zhao Xiaoyue scratched her head; her reaction was truly something else.
"Then I'll go all out, Master!"
Sixth Master Pu lifted his eyelids. "How do you plan to stir up a hornet's nest?"
The girl never gets to the point.
“I wrote an anonymous letter, but I’m afraid it will be intercepted on the way. I don’t know anyone here. So, Master, what do you think?”
Let's test the waters first.
"peach!"
"Hey, Sixth Brother!"
When asked about taking the helm, Hou Taotao was completely baffled. Hearing his sixth brother call him, he quickly responded and went to the inner hall.
"Go and see what position Zhang Shouzhen is in tomorrow, and then I'll take you there to lead the team."
Zhang Shouzhen was the same person who had previously sought help from Master Pu when he suffered from headaches and leprosy in Xinjiang.
Hou Taotao actually knew this person. "Sixth Brother, Zhang Shouzhen is now a department-level cadre, and he's in Beijing."
Zhao Xiaoyue was incredulous. She looked around and realized that there were indeed people she knew.
Hou Taotao continued, "Besides Zhang Shouzhen, Ruan Miantao is also in Kyoto, working in a classified unit."
Master Pu closed his head slightly, "Tomorrow I'll take you to the helm to find them. Just say you helped us this time, and we'll call it even."
"It's Sixth Brother."
It's very late.
"Sixth Grandfather, have you booked a room yet? Or should I book one for you?"
Hou Taotao chimed in, "While waiting for the elevator, I booked two rooms."
Oh well!
"Peach, you guys go out first."
Hou Taotao and Zhang Xiaomeng were smoking in the corridor.
"I'm afraid some people already know that Sixth Master has gone to Kyoto."
Hou Taotao took a drag of his cigarette. "So what if they know? They still won't dare utter a word. They'll just keep an eye on things from the shadows."
He added, "I had someone clean up the mess."
That means nobody knows.
Zhao Xiaoyue recounted Xiao Xiaolin's crimes in a straightforward manner.
"He is an extremely vicious and heinous thug. He does everything from smuggling and trafficking to buying and selling people and organs and running underground casinos. He has no bottom line as long as he can make money."
However, this money was ill-gotten and needed to be laundered. Xiao Xiaolin couldn't get involved in other places, so the Northwest was the safest place. Who knew he would run into Zhao Xiaoyue?
The plan fell through.
Master Pu did not give a direct answer, but simply hummed in agreement.
He simply said earnestly, "Little Sun, remember what I said before: don't do anything that can't be changed."
Just let things take their natural course, including him.
At first, Master Pu didn't realize what was going on because he was really angry with Zhao Xiaoyue. It wasn't until he was on the plane that he realized what the girl was thinking.
But there was nothing left in this world for him to cherish; what was colorful in the eyes of others was nothing but black and gray to him.
His soul has died in a sea called regret.
Zhao Xiaoyue looked at her refined master with teary eyes, unable to say a word.
