Zhao Xiaoyue returned to her apartment, cooked herself a meal—a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a small bowl of rice—and then finished it all.
After finishing my homework, I felt empty inside, so I decided to find something else to do!
Call Hou Taotao and tell everyone to gather at Changyuan.
Before the exam, he wrote a letter to Uncle Pu, but it went unanswered, which meant he couldn't go home for the New Year!
What to do? How to fill the emptiness in my heart? The answer is to cause trouble for my enemies.
Zhang Xiaomeng drove Zhao Xiaoyue to Changyuan. Zhao Xiaoyue got out of the car and walked towards the conference room expressionlessly.
Zhang Xiaomeng followed behind. He was now the driver and bodyguard. Although he might not need a bodyguard when he was in charge, it didn't matter. He could just grab a piece of clothing or something.
Miners in positions five, six, eight, nine, and ten generally cannot return; they all return to headquarters at a fixed time each month.
Chen Jinghuai asked Hou Taotao, "Has anything happened to the hunters lately? What do you think they want us for?"
Hou Taotao squinted and thought for a while, "I guess the leader is in a bad mood. Ever since this incident, I've noticed that the leader has been in a low mood."
Yu Muqi propped himself up on his arms. "Yeah, I think so too. You guys didn't see it. The helmsman's jacket looks like a strip of cloth, but it's actually covered in blood. There were a lot of people lying in the alley. The one named Situ Cheng was the worst off."
Liang Cheng quickly interrupted, "Okay, okay, stop talking. We already know that. It's kind of creepy."
Two knives slicing melons and eggs with perfect precision, you only need to hear it once, do you want to review it again? Seriously!
Yu Muqi chuckled, "Tch, you're all scared just from what I'm saying. If you were actually there, you'd probably faint."
Hou Taotao took a sip of tea. "You're so good at talking. I wonder who it was that got the captain to beat them to a pulp back then?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Yu Muqi was also embarrassed. "I underestimated him because I thought he was just a little kid and didn't have any ability. How could a little kid control such a big gang as the Hunters? I had a tiny bit of doubt that Sixth Brother was just fooling us."
Then she changed her tone, "I just don't believe that when Sixth Brother brought her here, you didn't have any ulterior motives."
Hou Taotao looked at Yu Muqi with a half-smile, "Alright, let's talk while the captain isn't here."
Yu Muqi slammed his fist on the table. "That's right, everyone has their own agenda, why are you only targeting me?"
Hou Taotao spoke first, "Brother, over the years, we've all known each other's tempers and secrets; let's put it this way, without Sixth Brother, there wouldn't be any of us."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“When Sixth Brother brought the new leader, I was indeed surprised and couldn’t believe it. But what worried me most was that with a new leader, Sixth Brother would go to be with Huo Qingqing.”
He slowly sipped his tea. "Sixth Brother can't be harmed. He is the soul of the entire Hunters. At first, I used the helm as a way to keep Sixth Brother alive, but later I realized that I really can't treat him like a child."
"The one time that changed my mind and completely convinced me was the time with Lao Wu. His aura, his strong mentality, and the pressure he exerted deeply impressed me."
Yu Muqi also thought of that time when the captain remained calm and composed, taking hostages and negotiating terms.
Hou Taotao continued, "If I were to go, I might not have such a strong aura. I estimate that He Zhengtai would be confused after we left. He would definitely try every means to have someone investigate the identity of the leader. However, the leader confessed the day after she was transferred to Haishi and wiped away all traces of her."
Zhao Xiaoyue has foresight and is very organized, which is what Hou Taotao admires most.
"We never wanted to be the hunters at the helm, but we also don't want anyone to ruin the hunters."
"After that, I was completely convinced. If the helmsman says east, I will never go west, and if he says west, I will never go east."
Liang Cheng listened quietly and nodded. "Our leader is no ordinary person. Take that piece of wood in my office, for example. Sixth Brother said it was priceless. I thought it was just a piece of wood, but the leader gave it up the moment he saw it. So after that, I felt that Sixth Brother's decision was correct."
Chen Jinghuai, a heavy smoker, stubbed out his cigarette and said, "Do you guys remember when she was checking the accounts?"
Yu Muqi nodded, "I won't forget it."
"Hehe, you were the most arrogant one when we first met. Not only did you finish taking stock of the accounts quickly, but if no loopholes had been pointed out, we could have assumed that he just flipped through them. But she found all the loopholes."
They all picked up their teacups and took a sip to cover their embarrassment, trying hard to find an opening to exploit, but they were all caught.
Chen Jinghuai put down his cup. "Regardless of where she learned these skills, these abilities are enough for her to be a hunter at the helm!"
Hou Taotao leaned back in her chair. "So whether Sixth Brother is here or not, she is the leader of us hunters!"
Everyone looked at the chicken-wing wood chair at the head of the group and nodded in agreement.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Xiaomeng pushed open the door, and Zhao Xiaoyue came in expressionlessly and sat directly in the head chair.
This was made especially for her. It has a foot pedal underneath so she can step on it; otherwise, the conference table is a bit high, and it's difficult for her to reach it.
As soon as Zhao Xiaoyue entered, Hou Taotao and the others automatically stood up to greet her, "Take the helm!"
Zhao Xiaoyue sat down, expressionless, and waved her hand, "Sit down, everyone!"
Zhang Xiaomeng was outside the conference room; he wasn't qualified to enter such a meeting room. He could only stand outside and wait respectfully.
As soon as Zhao Xiaoyue sat down, an overwhelming pressure swept over you. Although her expression was indifferent, it gave people an indescribable sense of pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.
