"Young Miss, I rushed back as soon as I heard you were in trouble! Please let me in to check on you. I promised Junior Sister Qiushui that I would protect your safety, and I won't be at ease until I see you are safe and sound!"
The sounds from outside came in again, and Murong Heshu couldn't help but sneer.
"Master Wu, really, there's no need. It's so late, you should rest. Go back and rest too. We can talk about it tomorrow!"
The voice outside suddenly became stern, "Young Miss, I'm only thinking of your safety. Since you won't open the door for me, I'll just go in myself!"
Bang!
After a gust of wind, a long-bearded old man with a lewd appearance, dressed in a black robe, burst through the door!
This man was none other than Wu Laogou, Murong Heshu's personal master.
Murong Heshu had two confidants who were both grandmasters: one was the female grandmaster Yu Qiushui, and the other was this old dog Wu.
The two were originally from the same school, but Wu Laogou made a mistake when he was young and was expelled from the school. After Yu Qiushui sought refuge with Murong Heshu, Wu Laogou also came looking for him. At that time, Wu Laogou owed some debts in the martial arts world. Yu Qiushui knew that his senior brother had a bad reputation and did not recommend that Murong Heshu take him in. However, Murong Heshu still gave him a chance and helped him settle his debts.
Yu Qiushui had never really trusted her senior brother, but over the years, the two had gotten along well. Although Wu Laogou was greedy and lustful, he was quite dutiful to Murong Heshu, so she had let her guard down.
Recently, it was the sect leader's birthday, and Yu Qiushui returned to the sect to celebrate. Murong Heshu was left with only Wu Laogou by his side.
Murong Heshu never expected that Wu Laogou would be so ambitious and daring to betray him!
At that moment, seeing Wu Laogou barge in, she said with a murderous look on her face, "Master Wu, I've already said I'm fine, what do you mean by barging in!"
Old Wu sneered, "Of course I'm worried about the young lady's safety!"
Murong Heshu said calmly, "Now you see, I'm fine. You should go back and rest! You may leave!"
Wu Laogou didn't move, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, his smile extremely wicked, even a little mocking.
Murong Heshu frowned. "I told you to get out, didn't you hear me? Get out!"
Old Wu didn't move, and continued to sneer, "I suppose you already know some things, so why bother pretending in front of me!"
Murong Heshu's beautiful eyes narrowed, but she pretended not to know and said, "What do I know? Could it be that Master Wu did something to wrong me?"
Old Wu chuckled, walked over to the sofa, sat down, and clicked his tongue, saying, "Miss, you can't blame me! It's just that Chairman Murong gave too much!"
Murong Heshu was not surprised at all, but asked with a cold smile: "Then tell me, how much did Murong Xiong give you to deliberately ask me for leave, and then ignore me when I was in danger, huh?"
Old Wu shook his head. "I went to gamble at a big name in the martial arts world this time and lost too much. A Grandmaster at the peak of his cultivation specifically asked for my hand. If it weren't for President Murong settling my debts, I would be a cripple now!"
Murong Heshu took a deep breath and sneered, "You're really something! Remember when you joined me and were being chased by a group of people? I was the one who settled things for you. Now, you've betrayed me. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Old Wu's lips curled up slightly. "If I were blushing, I wouldn't have come to find you!"
"What do you mean?" Murong Heshu's facial muscles tensed up.
Wu Laogou said, "Chairman Murong promised me that as long as I kill you and help him ascend to the position of family head, he will give me 10% of the profits of the Chamber of Commerce. 10% is hundreds of billions every year! Then I will never have to worry about losing money gambling and being chased for debts again!"
"You!" Murong Heshu was furious and said angrily, "Old dog Wu, I beg you to have some decency! I saved your life, and you repay kindness with enmity, even trying to kill me! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"I'm scared, of course I'm scared! So I'll make sure this is done cleanly, and no one will know it was me!"
Wu Laogou said with a mocking smile, "Besides, ancient martial arts families have no memory. Once President Murong becomes the family head, no one will care whether you live or die. This matter will gradually be forgotten. At that time, what am I afraid of? Tsk tsk, I'll just enjoy the money to the fullest, hahaha!"
"Old dog Wu, let's make a deal!" Murong Heshu suddenly calmed down.
Old Wu paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and asked, "What other bargaining chips do you have?"
"He only gave you 10%, right? I'll give you 20%!"
"Twenty percent?"
Wu Laogou's eyes flashed.
The Spring Breeze Chamber of Commerce distributes at least trillions of yuan in dividends annually, and 20% of that is several hundred billion yuan. To say that you are not tempted is nonsense.
However, having too much money is just a number; a thousand or two thousand makes no difference to him, as he can't possibly spend it all.
More importantly...
"Yu Qiushui will be back in a few days. She knows what I've done. Do you think she'll let me off the hook? Of course, I know exactly how ruthless you are, so do you think you'll let me off the hook? You're just bringing this up to appease me. I, Wu Laogou, am not stupid!"
Wu Laogou revealed a sinister smile: "More importantly, I have some other fetishes that you may not be aware of!"
"What kind of quirk?" Murong Heshu frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
Old Dog Wu sneered, "Because of the cultivation technique, I, Old Dog, have a particular fondness for beauties with a pure Yin constitution. Before, our sect had a sixteen-year-old junior sister who was incredibly beautiful. Tsk tsk, the sect leader warned me that she was his last disciple and that I was not allowed to make a move on her. But, alas, I still couldn't resist. While she was gathering herbs on the mountain, hehe..."
