Book 2 Chapter 13.2 – Taibai Restaurant

Ever since Miss Lili was in charge of the three meals everyday, the frequency Li Yang attended Taibai restaurant decreased. Even if he went, it was to drink Erguotou.

Within Taibai Restaurant

Li Yang strolled inside. He immediately noticed Ge Pu at a table facing the window, eating some appetisers and drinking some wine.

“Hey! Big bro Ge, isn’t it rather boring to drink alone? I’ll drink a few cups with you!” While speaking, Li Yang walked over to Ge Pu’s side. He did not care what kind of reaction Ge Pu had, and directly lifted up the wine cup to pour some, as well as directly picking up a pair of chopsticks.

“Mu Yi you brat!” When Ge Pu saw Li Yang, he scolded him while talking. Soon after, he began to laugh and chat with Li Yang as they ate and drank.

—

“Weng weng…” His phone began to violently shake.

Gu Pu took out the cellphone from his bosom and answered the phone. “This is Taibai Restaurant owner Ge Pu. May I ask who you are? Ah, it’s Xinxin’s teacher, how are you teacher… What?!” Ge Pu cried out in alarm, suddenly standing up from his seat. His complexion immediately turned paled.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll come over quickly!” When Ge Pu finished speaking, he immediately turned off his cell phone.

When Li Yang saw Ge Pu lose control like that, he couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Ge, did something happen? Why are you in such a panic?”

Ge Pu’s face was extremely ugly as he said, “Xinxin fainted at school.” Following that, he didn’t say anything else to Li Yang, and directly yelled towards the sales counter, “A’Lan, come quickly with me to the hospital.” Ge Pu pulled his wife, and told the service staff this before quickly leaving.

TL: Ah in front of a name is a term of endearment. I left it as A’Lan. Lan is the part of Ge Pu’s wife’s name

“Xinxin is brother Ge’s treasure. If something happened to her, then it would not be good. Right, shouldn’t there be a school infirmary? Why was Xinxin sent to the hospital? Could it be that the school infirmary couldn’t treat her?” Li Yang felt his heart tremble. If the school infirmary couldn’t treat her, then that would truly be bad.

Li Yang returned to his own villa, however, the events regarding Ge Pu’s daughter hung around his mind. After all, his relations.h.i.+p with Ge Pu was not bad, and through his interaction with Ge Pu, he knew just how much he doted on his daughter.

“En, I’ll go to Taibai Restaurant again at night to take a look at the situation. There’s no point in worrying over it now.” Li Yang was reclining on one of the sofas in the living room. He helplessly sighed and moved over to his laptop. He placed the notebook computer on his lap and began to browse the a.s.sa.s.sin organization’s webpage.

“Sigh, the number of A rank missions are too little. I just got promoted to an A rank a.s.sa.s.sin, yet there aren’t any A rank missions for me. It really is disappointing!” Li Yang was looking at the list of missions. Although there were three A rank missions, these A rank missions were already in the process of being carried out; it was impossible for him to accept them.

As for the top mission on the list, the ‘billion dollar’ mission, there was also someone currently on that mission.

“Why hasn’t that a.s.sa.s.sin reputed as number one taken action yet? If he succeeds, then he succeeds, and if he fails, he fails, but he’s not taking action! It really makes people anxious.” Li Yang seemed to be a bit unsatisfied. As an a.s.sa.s.sin, no matter what mission it was, he still finished it with no difficulty. Now, however, there were simply no A rank missions.

“Whatever, I’ll first accept a B rank mission. Either way, there’s nothing to do. For better or for worse, I can still make several million dollars!” This was the att.i.tude Li Yang had towards these missions. Within his eyes, regardless of what mission it was, there was simply no difficulty factor. After setting out, he would immediately succeed.

As for other a.s.sa.s.sins, each time they accepted a mission, they would all be cautious and solemn. After all, the mission targets all had quite a few bodyguards. Each time they set out on a mission, they would always be lingering around life or death. What they earned was money from the hands of the death G.o.d! For them, the higher the level of of the mission, the more careful they would be. As a result, C rank missions are the ones that were accepted the most.

Suddenly, one of the A rank missions that was being carried out suddenly changed. Li Yang immediately clicked it to take a look.

“The poor fellow that accepted this mission last failed. Ha, this luck really isn’t bad. Whatever, I wanted a mission, so it directly gave me one.” When Li Yang saw that ‘fifteen million dollars,’ his eyes immediately lit up.

His target — The chairman of the Golden State Corporation in Dallas, Texas: Mister Benjamin.

“En, it actually requires me to leave New York. It really is a bit troublesome, but an A rank mission is relatively more straightforward. The partic.i.p.ation fee of a boxing match is only ten thousand or so dollars, yet this single A rank mission already surpa.s.sed ten million!” Li Yang smiled slightly.

For Li Yang, this mission was quite simple. For other a.s.sa.s.sins, however, what A rank missions represented was — a higher mortality rate! If Li Yang did not have the Evasion Technique and barely had the level of a fifth rank expert, he definitely would not be so arrogant. This would absolutely make others sigh in lamentation, as the Evasion Technique from the Immortal Realm truly was quite amazing. Of course, our powerful Overlord Xiang Yu’s searches with his primordial spirit was also a big factor. With the scouting of the primordial spirit, there was no one in the Mortal Realm that could avoid it.

At nightfall, the crescent moon was suspended in the night sky.

Currently, Li yang was walking urgently towards Taibai Restaurant. His mind had constantly been occupied by the matters surrounding Ge Pu’s daughter Xinxin.

When he had just walked near Taibai Restaurant, Li Yang was immediately started. This was because he saw a sign hung outside Taibai Restaurant — ‘As the owner, I humbly need money. I wish to sell Taibai Restaurant, so if you are interested, enter the restaurant so we can discuss this in person.’

Li Yang immediately felt that things were off. Since things escalated to the point where Ge Pu had to sell the restaurant, he knew that things had turned for the worse.

“Ge, we will put out two million dollars at the most. This is already our highest offer. Even though this Taibai Restaurant is in the middle of Manhattan, the land is not large, moreover it is on 57th street. Two million is already the highest price!”A brown haired male in a blue suit was wearing a smile on his face. As he sat there, there were two african-american bodyguards.

“Mister Dennis, you are joking right? Not mentioning the construction cost of the restaurant, just the land alone is worth more than this price. Mister Dennis, the original price of three million that I started with is a price that you are already aware of. This is definitely my lowest price. If it wasn’t because I truly needed the money, it would be impossible for me to put up such a low price!” Currently, Ge Pu’s face was flushed red with anger and embarra.s.sment. Currently, he was in such an urgent need of money that he was worried crazy; otherwise, how could he possible want to sell this restaurant?

Ge Pu’s wife Lan Sao was a bit more calm and collected that Ge Pu.

“Mister Dennis, if we make this public, I believe that quite a few people will want to purchase this Restaurant. At that time, three million is most likely not enough!” Lan Sao was extremely calm as she said this.

However, Dennis merely snickered inwardly. If he didn’t know the other party’s circ.u.mstances, why would he offer two million? Currently the couple’s daughter urgently needed money; otherwise, it was impossible for them to carry out the ‘money burning’ M-ray therapy!

“Two million! I hope Ge Pu and his wife think this over carefully. I will await your phone call at any time! Dennis did not back off, and slightly bowed in preparation of leaving.

Ge Pu and his wife was immediately worried. If it was two million, even if they added in their savings and sold their house, it still wouldn’t be enough! However, currently, their daughter couldn’t wait any longer. They needed to carry out the surgery immediately. Ge Pu clenched his teeth, and immediately wanted to make a compromise.

“Brother Ge, why didn’t you tell me even though such a huge matter happened! This is my credit card, and there is ten million on it! Don’t hesitate to use it!” Li Yang rushed into the restaurant, and anger was clearly shown on his face. He took out the credit card from his pocket and placed it in front of Ge Pu.
