Chapter 805 - 804: Keep Me Company, Will You?
There's one more thing Chu Ge didn't mention, which is even if Yin Liang is telling the truth, when Little Bai, Li Zheming, and those Koreans are together, they're likely to speak in Korean. If Yin Liang doesn't understand Korean, he won't understand anything even if he's there with them.As for whether Yin Liang understands or not, Chu Ge doesn't plan on asking, nor does he have high hopes. It's not that he looks down on Yin Liang, it's just that this kind of low-level street thug wouldn't be expected to speak a foreign language—it's a bit much for him.
Of course, the most important point is still the thing Chu Ge just mentioned; let alone Zhiling Headhunting Company's real boss Li Zheming, nor even that lackey Little Bai, they don't think much of Yin Liang.
This means that Yin Liang trying to earn enough trust from those people to get useful information is not going to be easy at all.
Yin Liang knelt on the ground, staring blankly at Chu Ge, his face showing strong unwillingness.
"Okay, you can go now. Today, we never met."
Chu Ge patted Yin Liang on the shoulder again, turned around, and headed toward the factory gate, followed by Chen Jue, Bao Zhanhai, and two other guys.
Bao Zhanhai took a few steps, picked up the dagger from the ground, glanced back at the dazed and absent-minded Yin Liang, "Kid, if you can walk out of this door alive, you should thank our boss. And don't think about doing anything else foolish; we caught you once, we can catch you twice, and by then..."
Bao Zhanhai let out a cold laugh, sheathed the dagger, and said no more, but anyone could tell what he meant—that he wouldn't let Yin Liang exist in this world any longer.
At this time, Chu Ge was contemplating Li Zheming and the matters regarding Zhiling Company. These people failed to trap him once; surely, there would be a second and third time. It's just like they say: you shouldn't fear a thief stealing, only a thief thinking of stealing—this whole thing was truly annoying.
Qin Ruojing hoped he'd endure whenever possible; it's not like he wanted to trouble anyone, but now that they had escalated things to this point, how could he hold back?
Thinking about these things, Chu Ge reached the factory entrance. Bao Zhanhai opened the door, and another screeching sound echoed in the air, which made the still-kneeling Yin Liang tremble slightly and call out "Big Brother" again.
"This kid, isn't he gonna give up? Seriously..." Bao Zhanhai mumbled exasperatedly, his expression full of derisive mockery.
Chu Ge hesitated for a moment but eventually turned back, "Do you still have something to say?"
Yin Liang struggled to get up from the ground and staggered over, "Big Brother, I can definitely earn their trust. I'm begging you, give me a chance!"
Bao Zhanhai impatiently frowned, thinking, when will this kid stop? Why is he so annoyingly clingy? However, since Chu Ge hadn't said anything, he kept silent.
Chu Ge gave a slight smile, "When you achieve that and can bring me some useful information, then we'll talk."
With that, Chu Ge left his phone number and no longer paid any attention to the disappointed Yin Liang. After saying a few words to Chen Jue and Bao Zhanhai, he got into the rented Jetta and drove away.
Like said, many things aren't just about determination; no matter how persistent and sincere this Yin Liang is, he at least needs to provide something that proves his value. Leaving his number was as kind as Chu Ge could be.
Returning to the city, Chu Ge drove the Jetta to the building opposite where the Zhiling Headhunting Company rented their office. He gazed at a window on the seventh floor, a cold curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
After looking for a few minutes, Chu Ge ultimately did nothing and drove home directly.
He decided to concede this time; if the people involved could behave, then it would be as if nothing had happened. But if they continued incessantly, he wouldn't be polite anymore.
Before he knew it, three days had passed, and Chu Ge's life was calm and uneventful. Although he hadn't completely relaxed his guard, such peace left him rather satisfied.
That morning, as Chu Ge was about to go to a gym for a workout, his phone rang on the way. He looked at the screen, which displayed "The Clingy Kid."
He casually picked up the call, and Shu Lulu's cheerful voice came through, "Uncle, it's been a while since I called you. Did you miss me?"
Listening to Shu Lulu's lively voice, Chu Ge felt in a great mood and laughed, "Of course."
"Really? How much?" Shu Lulu's voice was laced with surprise.
"Um..." Chu Ge paused, as if in deep thought, and dragged the tone a few seconds before laughing, "So much that I almost forgot how much."
"Hmph, you're so annoying! I just finished my military training and called you as soon as I had the time."
Shu Lulu grumbled a little indignantly, and Chu Ge could completely imagine her pouting face, instantly lifting his mood even more.
"So I should thank you for that?"
"Of course you should!"
"Okay, okay, give you a little sunshine, and you shine bright. Any reason for this call?"
"Why? Can't I call you just for nothing?"
"Uncle, I'm really busy, if there's nothing important, I won't chat with you. Hanging up."
Upon hearing this, Shu Lulu immediately panicked, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't! Wait!"
Chu Ge chuckled mischievously, "Is it important or not?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Okay? You're just so..." Shu Lulu muttered, feeling aggrieved and frustrated, but worried that Chu Ge would hang up, she quickly said in a cute voice, "Uncle, I finally have a day off today, can you keep me company?"
"I already told you I'm busy, no time."
"Uncle, why are you like this? Can't you spare a little time, just a tiny bit? I know you don't miss me, but can't I miss you? I finally got a break and even turned down someone else's invitation, calling you with such joy, and you can actually bear to refuse me?"
If it were someone else talking so pitifully, Chu Ge might not have the heart to refuse, but since it's Shu Lulu, he felt no pressure at all and just chuckled, "I can bear it."
"Uncle~~~ Uncle~~~" Shu Lulu whined again, her tone and voice so full of grievance.
Listening to her voice filled with varied emotions, Chu Ge felt a bit soft-hearted.
Thinking about it, this young girl has had it quite tough, living all these years with Luo Suyun, her mother, without a complete family, without a father's love. Her fondness for him probably stems from these reasons to some extent.
Chu Ge doesn't know what paternal love feels like, but he does have the urge to pamper Shu Lulu a bit.
"Alright, stop calling me. You're giving me goosebumps. I'm heading to the gym on Qingxi Road now. If you're interested, come; if not, then forget it."
"Okay, okay, I'll be there in 15 minutes… no, 10 minutes!"
Chu Ge helplessly put down the phone, rubbing his forehead. This young girl, after such a long military training, is still not tired enough and even wants to meet him at the gym. Is it necessary?
Soon, Chu Ge drove to the gym and saw a girl pacing at the entrance, looking around. Who else could it be but Shu Lulu?
Before Chu Ge could even park his car, Shu Lulu excitedly ran towards him like a homing swallow.
When Chu Ge opened the door and stepped out of the Maserati, she immediately gave him a smile brighter than the sun, called "Uncle," and leaped towards him.
Actually, Chu Ge could easily avoid her if he wanted to. The problem is... if he dodged, Shu Lulu would fall to the ground.
Should he dodge or not?
Chu Ge hesitated a little but ultimately chose to dodge. However, before Shu Lulu fell, he grabbed her hand, preventing her from hitting the ground.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
"I should be asking you that."
Facing Shu Lulu's little distressed face, Chu Ge rolled his eyes and lightly flicked her forehead, "You're a college student now, why are you still acting shamelessly? Aren't you afraid of people laughing at you? If it happens again next time, I definitely won't hold out my hand; I'll just let you fall hard and learn a lesson."
Shu Lulu rubbed her forehead, first looking aggrieved but soon showing a playful smile.
"Uncle, no one's laughing at me; they might even envy you. Don't believe it? Look around, see what kind of looks these people are giving you."
Chu Ge's forehead suddenly filled with black lines. Of course, he knew what those around them were thinking—mostly envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Chu Ge had long been used to such looks, being surrounded by women who, though each with distinct charms, were all incredibly beautiful.
In just a few words, Chu Ge checked out Shu Lulu and realized that while they hadn't met for a while, this lively little girl had changed significantly.
Her hair was still wine-red but much shorter, just long enough to tie up. Her skin wasn't as pale as before, now showing a healthy wheatish tone.
Generally speaking, if your skin isn't very white, it's best not to dye your hair red, as it tends to look odd. But with Shu Lulu, this wasn't a problem at all, instead, she appeared even more vibrant and youthful.
She wore a white tight-fitting T-shirt with an anime pattern, a cross-body fringed bag—one she used when Chu Ge first met her—still looking as good as new, clearly showing she cared for her belongings. She paired it with denim shorts and white sneakers.
Faced with Shu Lulu's radiant smile, Chu Ge pinched her nose, "Little kid, I'm seriously warning you again, next time you pull that stunt, I will dodge. If you fall and cry, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Shu Lulu giggled, "Uncle, you wouldn't dare."
The two of them, chatting and laughing, walked into the gym. But when Shu Lulu casually glanced around and saw someone, her expression suddenly changed.
