Chapter 2194 - 2197: The Higher the Virtue, the Greater the Devil

"Having a woman like Wubai who’s stuck to you all day, always checking in no matter where you go, I can’t imagine how that makes life any fun at all," Zun Zun looked at them, "I absolutely don’t want to end up like you two, finding a woman to suffer with. Just get away from me; I’m better off enjoying my own freedom."

Sheng Sheng and Wubai exchanged glances.

Zun Zun changed the topic and said, "Speaking of which, what’s the deal with Qingqing? How’s she doing since returning to Dark K?"

Wubai lowered his enthusiasm and released him, "Let her join the formal training, do what needs to be done. Didn’t you have her sign the life-and-death contract?"

Sheng Sheng frowned upon hearing this, "When did this happen? You didn’t report this to me?"

"Just yesterday, didn’t have time to tell you yet," Wubai said.

"Why did you let her go back to Dark K again? We finally managed to get her out," Sheng Sheng’s brow furrowed. Wubai shrugged, "It wasn’t my idea, ask Zun Zun."

Zun Zun lay back on the chair, lacking his usual cheekiness, "Let her train, but don’t let her go on missions. Let her train so hard that she won’t have the energy to secretly go on missions. Keep an eye on her, should be no big deal. Besides, isn’t Dong Fangjing looking for her everywhere? Keeping her at Dark K is also a form of protection, it’s a win-win, nothing bad about it."

Sheng Sheng didn’t agree with this, and gave him a glare, "You’re too soft-hearted. Sooner or later, you’ll ruin Qingcheng. If something happens, just watch the elders come down on you."

Zun Zun irritably ruffled his hair, his face shadowed with unease, "We’ll take things as they come. That girl is so stubborn; even if we don’t let her into Dark K, she’d find another way in. If she ends up going somewhere else, it will be even more troublesome. After all, Dark K isn’t the only place she likes in the world."

Sheng Sheng’s hair was still wet, dripping water. Wrapped in a white bathrobe, he walked to the low table, sipping a glass of red wine. The cotton robe hung loose, revealing his seductive body curves.

"I hope you have a plan. And by the way, you guys should transfer any available funds to me during this period," he changed the subject and glanced at his waterproof watch, "I’ll stay a little longer, then head back to Los Angeles. Tomorrow’s Maimai’s birthday, are you going?"

"What do you need the money for?" Zun Zun tilted his body, propped his feet up, picked up another glass of red wine, and clinked glasses with him.

"There’s a fail-safe investment on hand," Sheng Sheng smiled mysteriously, "The investment term is nine months, and the returns are guaranteed to be great."

Sheng Sheng knows how to make money; when Wubai heard this, he immediately became excited and didn’t ask for details about the investment, "Okay, I’ll gather the money and transfer it to your account."

"I don’t lack money," Zun Zun said with an air of a wealthy man.

Sheng Sheng glanced at him, "It’s your loss if you’re not interested."

"Come on, why not make money if you can? I’ll transfer it to your account tomorrow," Zun Zun shook off his dripping wet hair, "I have things to do tomorrow. You’ll take my gift to Maimai, wish her a happy birthday for me."

"I’m not going to play the third wheel either; I’ve already sent my gift to her," Wubai asked curiously, "What gift did you prepare for Maimai?"

Sheng Sheng curled his lips into a smile, "Secret!"

"Pfft!" Wubai said, then plunged back into the water, swam a lap, and returned to find Sheng Sheng already having rinsed off and driven away.

He drove straight to the airport, heading for Los Angeles.
