Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 508 Is now the time to think about this?

After seeing Liu Yunlong off, the two continued back to the office and found the door open, so they went straight in.

Zhou Yichen's office is also here, but it's in the innermost cubicle, while the larger area outside is shared by several other people.

When Chu Xin went in, she didn't see Gao Ziyou and Zhou Yichen, but unexpectedly saw a familiar face. Looking at the tightly closed office door, she guessed that the two people should be inside.

That's nothing, it's just that person outside...

The person who had been waiting anxiously was also excited to see her. He stood up abruptly and was about to come over when he suddenly couldn't move.

One of his arms was pulled.

"Kakakaka."

There was a metallic scraping sound.

Chu Xin tilted her head to look and found that he was handcuffed to the radiator in front of the wall.

"Oh, Miss Chu, I'm so glad to see you! Waaaaah..."

A rather tall man only said one sentence before bursting into tears.

Chu Yunting suppressed a laugh and walked over, looking him up and down, along with the handcuffed radiator. "Who are you? Why are you handcuffed here?"

Chu Xin put the bundle she was carrying on the table, looked for the key to unlock the handcuffs of the crying man, and looked at him with a strange expression.

As Ge Shaoting's all-around assistant, he is usually very busy running between coastal cities and port cities. This time he came to the mainland for business.

"Xiao Zhang, what are you doing here?"

Why is he here?

Xiao Zhang wiped away his tears, his resentment almost burning away his reason, and he wished he could curse his boss on the spot.

He's just an assistant, but he's acting like he's a master of both the legitimate and underworld circles.

He followed his boss when he committed murder, he stayed by his boss's side when his boss was depressed, and when his boss wanted to expand into inland coastal cities, he worked himself to the bone to serve him.

But this time his boss actually sent him to Kyoto alone to deliver a message, and the journey almost killed him.

"That's a long story. I was terrified the whole way here. I thought things would be better once I got to Kyoto, but I was captured by your people as soon as I entered Kyoto territory."

That's bad enough, but to be suspected of being a spy, Miss Chu, I'm so unlucky! Waaaaah…

Chu Xin's forehead throbbed from his crying. "Stop, don't cry, tell me properly, why did Ge Shaoting send you here?"

Xiao Zhang was suddenly interrupted and couldn't catch his breath, so he started hiccuping and crying.

Chu Yunting was overjoyed and gave him a hard slap on the back to bring him back to his senses.

Although Xiao Zhang was in pain, he still obediently nodded and thanked him, and then continued to explain his purpose.

"Miss Chu, you don't know how many things have happened since you and Mr. Zhou left Hong Kong. I won't go into the hardships involved, but you just need to know that my boss is the current leader of the K gang."

Everything was fine with the Hong Gang. Boss Qiang was still as energetic as ever. It was just that unlucky Zhen Long, the boss of Wo Shing Wo, who had fallen out with the United States. Without that kind of evil medicine for him, his health deteriorated and he died after only two months.

The current head of Wo Shing Wo has been taken over by people from the United States. They reinvestigated the deaths of the Chen family and Lin Yue, and that's how they dragged you out.

Boss Ah Qiang and my boss had already sent many people to the mainland to report to you, but we hadn't received any response from you, so we guessed that your message had been intercepted.

Because I only handled the boss's public business, not many people in the Hong Kong underworld knew me, so this deadly task ultimately fell to me.

As Xiao Zhang spoke, tears of lingering fear streamed down his face again.

He was neither skilled in martial arts nor capable of handling a gun, so he was constantly on edge, seeing enemies everywhere he went. Nobody seemed like a good person, and those days were unbearable for a human being.

Moreover, he wasn't just afraid; he had actually encountered someone who could be fatal.

Waaah, imagine how he, a frail college student, inexplicably ended up in a gang right after graduation. Who can he complain to?

"So that's it."

Chu Xin and Chu Yunting exchanged a glance. "We've already experienced what you're describing."

It's more than just an experience; the assassination attempts I faced in Su Province are still vivid in my memory.

Xiao Zhang paused in wiping away tears, then excitedly slapped his thigh.

"Right, right? I told you you're all capable people, you'd be fine. My boss and Boss Qiang are just too concerned about you, they insisted I make this trip."

However, you may not know that, not only the US side, but also the people in Japan, Ms. Chu, offended them before you left.

We had a good time killing people back then, but if we want to be free from future troubles, we'd have to wipe out everyone in Japan before anyone would seek revenge.

Fortunately, Boss Qiang handled all the trouble, since the whole incident stemmed from a fight over the leadership of the Hong Gang.

Chu Xin nodded in agreement. She accepted A-Qiang's kindness and would also remember Ge Shaoting's help.

“I know everything you’ve said. Now tell me why you were arrested by our people.”

Under normal circumstances, people who are arrested will be locked up immediately and will never be put in their offices.

"Also, have you seen Zhou Yichen?"

Xiao Zhang shook his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:

“I haven’t met Mr. Zhou yet, but the people who brought me here said I could wait here to meet you, so I specifically requested to stay here and not go anywhere else.”

However, my identity has not yet been verified. He initially disagreed and wanted to lock me up, but I had been so frightened on the way that I felt more at ease here.

Then, with my consent, that gentleman handcuffed me here. He did this so I wouldn't touch your things. I was worried about misunderstandings later, and none of us could explain ourselves, so... hehehehe."

Such a silly smile, suddenly appearing on Xiao Zhang's face, who always presented himself as an elite white-collar worker, was quite unsettling for Chu Xin.

"You shouldn't laugh like that; it looks worse than when you're crying."

After all, ever since she met him, this man had been forcibly taken by Ge Shaoting to participate in various dangerous activities, and Chu Xin had long been used to seeing his tearful and dejected face.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhang immediately covered his mouth with his hand, took a few deep breaths, and quickly composed himself.

Very well, he has become the shrewd and capable Assistant Zhang again.

"It's like this, Miss Chu. On my way from Guangzhou to Beijing, I spotted a group of very suspicious people. They happened to be in the same carriage as me, and I overheard them talking about some mysterious weapon."

As you know, my boss is always impulsive and unpredictable, which has honed my ability to read people's expressions and moods.

I secretly observed them for two days. Although their clothes and appearance were no different from those of people from mainland China, subtle details revealed that they were not Chinese.

As Xiao Zhang spoke, he patted his arm and said, "American culture tends to be more open in its body language. When they talk, they sometimes pat each other on the shoulder or hug each other, and their bodies will unconsciously lean forward. When expressing emotions, their gestures are also very large."

Another issue is that they are not very familiar with using chopsticks when eating, and sometimes they even drop their chopsticks.

Another issue is the accents these people use.

I've spent a considerable amount of time in Hong Kong, so I'm familiar with Cantonese, Mandarin, and mainland dialects. I can immediately tell if someone's accent is harsh when they speak a particular word.

Chu Xin and Chu Yunting looked at him with shining eyes. No wonder that fox Ge Shaoting valued him so much. This guy is too malleable!

The fact that so many people died on their way to deliver messages shows that the Wo Shing Wo people were keeping an eye on the movements of the K gang and the Hung gang. It just so happens that Assistant Zhang came to Kyoto alone and arrived safely.

Talented, this is absolutely a talented person.

Chu Yunting couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "You're great, brother, you're something else."

As they looked at him with admiration, Xiao Zhang suddenly felt a surge of pride. Now, with such direct praise, and the fact that he was being groomed by Ge Shaoting to be a social elite capable of handling any situation, he secretly blushed.

"Hehehe, not at all, sir, you flatter me."

Wow, suddenly I don't dislike my boss as much anymore.

Chu Xin was amused by his appearance. Ge Shaoting put too much pressure on Assistant Zhang. In the past, apart from when he was scared to tears, he usually followed Ge Shaoting silently. When he encountered difficult things, he would just look a little sad.

It's rare to see someone laughing so happily like this.

"Well, let me introduce him to you." She said to Chu Yunting, "Back in Hong Kong, you left quite early and didn't get to meet him. Xiao Zhang is Ge Shaoting's personal assistant. He's very smart and capable. He provided us with a lot of help after you left."

Then he looked at Xiao Zhang and continued, "This is my cousin, surnamed Chu, named Yunting. He has a very lively personality and speaks his mind directly, but he doesn't have any bad intentions. You two can get to know each other."

Having spent a long time in the underworld and business world, Xiao Zhang is very clever and thorough in his work. However, apart from the mainland, he mostly deals with big shots in Hong Kong and must maintain a humble attitude.

After Chu Xin finished her introduction, he almost instinctively wanted to bow and shake hands with Chu Yunting, but he didn't expect the other person to act unpredictably and pat him on his not-so-broad shoulder, causing him to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

"Good comrade, you seem very capable. Thank you for helping my sister in the port city. I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

Xiao Zhang grabbed the wall to avoid an embarrassing fall. He glanced at Chu Xin and, seeing that her expression remained unchanged, knew that this gentleman hadn't meant to embarrass him. He smiled, straightened up, and extended his hand.

"Sir, you flatter me too much. It's all I should do."

There's nothing he can do; his boss pays him too much.

"Pfft!"

Chu Xin was amused by their conversation again, "You two keep calling each other 'comrade' and 'sir,' it feels like there's a generational gap between you!"

After finishing, he looked at Xiao Zhang and said, "From now on, you shouldn't use titles like 'Mr.' or 'Ms.' in Kyoto. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Just call each other 'comrade,' which applies to both men and women."

Xiao Zhang knew all this, but he hadn't changed his way of saying it yet. He immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, Comrade Chu."

With that topic over, Chu Xin changed the subject, "Has the door to that office inside never been opened?"

Xiao Zhang shook his head, "No, but the comrade who brought me here said that Comrade Zhou... oh, no, Comrade Zhou is meeting with someone inside, and told me to just wait quietly."

Chu Xin knew immediately that the person who brought him here was Zhou Wen. However, judging from Liu Yunlong and Xiao Zhang's words, Gao Ziyou and he had been meeting for quite some time. What had they been doing for so long without a fight breaking out?

She hadn't considered using her mental powers to eavesdrop; after all, she wasn't plotting anything bad, and she didn't need to be that kind of villain.

Besides, if it were something she could know, Zhou Yichen would have told her himself.

"Alright, you can't stay here during our working hours. Now that you've seen me, you should be relieved, right? How about I find you a place to rest for a bit?"

Xiao Zhang nodded somewhat awkwardly, "Okay, actually it was also very uncomfortable to be handcuffed like that, but I'm not afraid anymore."

Hey, Comrade Chu... why is it so strange? In Hong Kong, if someone put handcuffs on me, my first thought would be how much money I could raise to save myself, and then I would try to find my boss to rescue me.

Here, although I asked to be handcuffed, when I was actually put in the handcuffs, I felt at ease and had no thoughts. I just told myself that as long as I waited patiently, I would be safe.

Why do you say this is? Is it simply because the national conditions on both sides are different?

Chu Xin smiled. Xiao Zhang is such a smart person, how could he not know? He was just expressing his feelings.

It's disheartening that people who should be treated equally are forced to live chaotic lives under the rule of another country.

"Don't be so pessimistic. The salary you get in Hong Kong is absolutely impossible to get in the mainland. This shows that the thing you care about has two sides. Since you've already benefited, you can't ask for more."

She was telling the truth. Xiao Zhang was just under too much pressure, so he genuinely longed for the mainland where the rule of law is strict.

But the need for financial support soon made him realize reality and understand what he truly wanted.

Moreover, she didn't believe that someone who was new to society and had followed Ge Shaoting for so long, and who had done everything to everyone's satisfaction, would really be willing to live a mediocre and impoverished life.

The two of them walked and talked, and soon left the Central Special Branch.

Chu Xin intended to take him to the guard's lounge at the entrance. Due to the nature of the Central Special Branch's work, there were few residential areas around, let alone places like guesthouses. She could only let Xiao Zhang make do for the time being.

If you're talking about whether there are truly unbelievable coincidences in this world, Chu Xin believes there absolutely are.

Who would have thought that something as mundane as arranging a personal matter would lead to running into Gu Beizhan at the entrance of the Special Branch?

The two groups were almost face to face. Xiao Zhang immediately became curious about the man who looked somewhat like his boss. "Hey, he looks just like the boss!"

Chu Xin sighed and said, "Putting aside whether your words will cause trouble for Ge Shaoting, between father and son, shouldn't the son resemble the father?"

Thinking about it, Chu Xin slapped her forehead, realizing she was being silly. Was this the time to be thinking about this?
