CHAPTER 863: CHAPTER 578: SI XUE: DON’T COME BACK UNTIL YOU’VE FIXED THE TROUBLE YOU CAUSED

"I’ve already made arrangements with the sewer side, when do you plan to go?"

The call connected, and Liu Zheng spoke.

"We can go anytime!"

Li Ziming said excitedly.

"Then have your friends gather at your place first, and wait for my notification to come over."

"Is there anything we need to prepare, Mr. Liu?"

Li Ziming asked.

"Make sure all the party supplies are ready, there’s no place to buy anything in the sewers. And remember, playing is okay, but don’t do anything that’ll make me angry."

"If you don’t know something, ask your dad. The consequences of making me angry are very serious."

He said coolly.

"Understood, understood, my dad’s already told me about you, Mr. Liu. You’re awesome!"

Li Ziming said earnestly.

The upbringing by the deputy director was relatively strict, so although Li Ziming wasn’t exactly a good child, he hadn’t done anything particularly heinous.

Of course, claiming he felt any outrage about things like the 11th floor would be nonsense.

But kids, whether good or bad, have a persistent admiration for power.

And Liu Zheng’s achievements, by any measure, can indeed be deemed as terrifying.

"Do what I’ve told you, and you’ll have plenty of awesome opportunities in the future."

Liu Zheng said arrogantly.

"Yes!"

Li Ziming replied loudly.

After hanging up, he thought about it and then called the nightingale.

He couldn’t possibly keep playing with these rich heirs in the sewer himself, and the Fisherman wouldn’t have the patience to babysit either. It’s necessary to find someone who can hold the fort.

Since the nightingale can handle Li Ziming, she can naturally handle the others too.

Besides, she’s also a wealthy heir, and a future family successor, and her identity can suppress these little brats.

"Calling me like this, what’s up, having morning wood and wanting me to flirt with you over the phone?"

The nightingale finally answered the call after a moment.

"Just so happens, I’m in the shower right now~"

She dragged her last note long.

"Aren’t you a doll? Won’t you rust if water gets in?"

Liu Zheng asked with concern.

"...You’re really annoying when you’re annoying."

The nightingale replied, somewhat choked, not too pleased.

"Even the perfect ones have flaws. Anyway, let’s talk business, come over and play the role of a temporary tutor later."

He explained Mr. Batiao’s commission and Li Ziming’s plan to hold a party in the sewer.

"Why do you always assign me to babysit? I’m a long-legged mature lady, a wealthy heir, and combat doll. Can’t you send me to seduce the enemy instead?"

The nightingale complained.

"Isn’t it because you need to protect Sea Girl? Who else can handle this important task?"

Liu Zheng retorted.

"Hmm, that’s true. Fine, I reluctantly forgive your squandering action."

The nightingale said with slight pride.

"By the way, where’s Sea Girl?"

"I just got back from dropping her off at work."

The nightingale replied.

"Great, then go to the deputy director’s house later and bring those kids to Rose Street."

He said.

"What? Aren’t you afraid of me being kidnapped by those bald men when I go out alone?"

"Let Jiwei Group come pick you up then."

Liu Zheng said.

"Forget it, if they come, we don’t know who’d be protecting whom."

The nightingale rolled her eyes and then hung up the phone.

Her words were pure nonsense; even if Jiwei Group is weak, they could still gang up on her.

Of course, she might have some unknown aces up her sleeve as a lady of a wealthy family.

Speaking of Jiwei Group, Liu Zheng did plan to have them do something, but he couldn’t make the call in the lounge.

"Why do I feel like you’re scheming against me?"

Niu Ma suddenly looked over.

"No, impossible, you’re mistaken, boss."

He outright denied it three times.

How could something done for Niu Ma’s good be considered scheming?

But these powerhouses really have acute senses, or maybe he was just too relaxed and failed to conceal his thoughts?

"Hmph, you’d better not let me catch you."

Niu Ma pointed at Liu Zheng with its hooves.

It didn’t believe Liu Zheng’s denial; having transformed from food ingredients to head of the delivery department for so many years, its instinct for danger was even stronger.

Of course, what Niu Ma sensed wasn’t danger.

That’s why it just casually warned instead of taking decisive action.

"Suspecting too much can be bad for the gut, boss."

Liu Zheng advised.

"My guts are long and thick, even if you damage them, they won’t fail."

Niu Ma said smugly.

"By the way, are your guts cow’s or horse’s?"

He asked out of curiosity.

"Of course, they’re..."

Niu Ma almost blurted out the answer but swallowed it back.

It stood still, staring blankly ahead, seemingly seeing those intestines hanging on racks, dry, wet, half-dry, half-wet...

"Boss, are you okay?"

Liu Zheng asked proactively.

As he asked, he was ready to be beaten up by Niu Ma as an outlet for its anger.

However, Niu Ma just glanced at him and then walked back to the haystack to lie down, its head facing the wall, completely motionless.

"Sigh!"

Liu Zheng sighed.

This time, he really didn’t mean to be annoying, but he managed to bring up the sore topic regardless.

The troubles and woes of Metropolis are too many; sometimes he doesn’t know where the sensitive areas are.

He waited quietly for a while, hoping for Ghost Hand, but instead got Niu Ma’s ringing phone.

"Hello boss. Okay, I’ll put it on speaker."

Niu Ma answered the call and then turned on the speakerphone.
