Lawless Gangster

Chapter 22

Xiao Li asked, "Why?"

"Are you thinking that a professional killer is eying you so you want to hire me as your bodyguard? You're also thinking you can take an advantage of me huh?" Zhang Juan Juan crossed her arms and used one of her hand to support her chin. She raised one of her brows in arrogance and turned to the side to look at Xiao Li, "Don't worry, if it was really a professional killer who has failed this time, then they'll definitely keep coming back to take you out until they succeed. If it was another underworld organization's trick, they'll be afraid you'll recognized them. Since they failed, I'd reckon they would wait and see for a while so for now you can feel a sense of relieve right?" said Zhang Juan Juan before she narrowed her eyes at him.

Xiao Li had a smile on his face as he took a glance at her, "Your consultant fee will be justly given. It's rare for Ms. Zhang to have so much knowledge about the underworld and killer organizations' activities, but I don't like your type. Sorry for the trouble, please leave."

"Oh? You don't like the killer or bodyguard type but you like the underworld type," Zhang Juan Juan undoes the first two buttons on her blouse. She got out of her seat, untie her hair bun and took off her glasses, before she crossed over the desk and leaned in closer to Xiao Li while teasingly licking the corner of her lips, "So, there's no harm in trying......"

Xiao Li raised his head and captured her chin. His eyes swept over her face in one full circle before he slowly spat out, "Okay, we'll see how much you know about the underworld......"

Zhang Juan Juan slowly turned her face to the side and licked his ear, "Hehe, the underworld and I have quite a close relationship......"

Xiao Li's hand reached into her blouse as he narrowed his eyes, "Oh?"

The moment Qi Xiu Yuan walked out of the school front gate, he immediately saw Xiao Li standing under a tree on the other side of the road. Different from how he normally dressed, he actually had on jeans and a shirt while his hand was tucked in the pockets. He was standing rather straight as he looked toward the school gate.

Qi Xiu Yuan immediately burst into a spell of surprises. Instead of going to his car, he quickly ran across the street.

"Why didn't you give me a phone call?" he asked with a smile drawn on his face.

However, Xiao Li did not smile or say anything, instead he turned and walked away.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Puzzled, Qi Xiu Yuan followed after him, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"Yeah," answered Xiao Li.

"What happened?"

"A woman came to look for me today," Xiao Li's voice was a bit strange as it did not fluctuate at all, "She said something that I really didn't like."

"What is it?"

Xiao Li became silent again as he continued to walk ahead even quicker.

Seeing him like that, Qi Xiu Yuan no longer asked him anything else; he just simply followed behind him.

It was in silence that they walked for nearly half an hour. The further they walked, the more desolate the area became and the path became even more narrow.

Qi Xiu Yuan followed Xiao Li into a narrow alley but finally, he was no longer able to bear, "Xiao Li, what exactly are you ---"

Xiao Li suddenly swung his head around and punched Qi Xiu Yuan in the chin.

The strength in his fist was so strong, Qi Xiu Yuan's body leaned to the side and knocked against the wall; unable to maintain a steady footing, he staggered a step back and fell onto the ground. He could taste the iron welling in his mouth as blood crawled out from the corners and slid down his chin.  

Qi Xiu Yuan had fallen down so hard and in such an abrupt manner, his vision darkened.

Muttering up enough strength, he attempted to lean his elbow against the wall to prop himself up. But, he didn't even have the time to respond yet when Xiao Li crouched down in front of him.

A cold breeze suddenly rushed by them.

As Qi Xiu Yuan shook his head, willing his blurry darkness away, he was met with the muzzle of a pistol pointing directly in between his eyebrows.

"Qi Xiu Yuan, I hate it the most when people lie to me."

Xiao Li slowly switched the pistol's safely off in front of Qi Xiu Yuan's eyes.

The murderous intent that painted deeply Xiao Li's eyes was something that Qi Xiu Yuan had never experienced before. And his cold voice......seemed as though he could easily freeze someone to death.

"Tell me again, who is your grandfather?"
