Chapter 98: Savior
Zhao Long sneered. “Can’t you be more promising?”
“How am I not promising? Why don’t we go out and look for it too? This place also belongs to Xisha City. If there are wild strawberries on the mountain in Shanbai Village, we might have some here too!”
Wang Han said lazily, “That’s still better than watching television here…”
Gu Pei, who was sitting beside him with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight. Wang Han was so frightened that he stopped talking.
Wang Han shouted, “Boss, do you also think that my suggestion is good? Let’s go now!”
However, after he finished speaking, Boss did not react at all. He followed Boss’s gaze and saw that he was staring at the television.
“Boss, do… Do you want to eat… Strawberries too?”
Zhang Long grabbed his neck from behind and forced him to shut up. “Can you be more discerning!”
Gu Pei stared at the girl on the television. Although her face was covered in mud, he could tell at a glance that this was the little girl he often thought of.
After not seeing her for so long, she seemed to have grown taller. However, she still seemed to like to play on the mountain like before.
Gu Pei stared at the television and smiled.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Wang Han asked carefully, “Boss, do you know this dirty girl?”
After saying that, he was hit hard on the head.
His boss stared at him with a darkened gaze and asked, “Who are you calling a dirty girl?”
“It was a slip of the tongue, Boss. Do you know this beautiful girl?”
Gu Pei turned his head and continued to look at the television screen. “Yes, the last time I was injured, it was this little girl who saved me!”
“So it’s her! She’s really our savior! No wonder Boss had such a big reaction!”
Wang Han had an “I see” expression on his face. He smiled and said, “However, Boss, why didn’t you say that the person who saved you was such a beautiful little girl? Did you also give her that dagger?”
“Yes!”
“However, Boss, didn’t you say you were going to leave that dagger for your future wife? You… Don’t tell me you had ulterior motives when you saw that the little girl was beautiful?”
Gu Pei kicked Wang Han. “Get lost! If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll sew your mouth shut!”
Wang Han patted his chest and looked scared. “That’s good, that’s good. Boss, you have to remember what you said. She’s still a junior high student! If you have designs on her, you’re too much of a beast!”
Zhang Long looked at his boss’ face that was getting darker and darker and hurriedly said, “Boss, actually, if you really have any designs on her, it’s fine. You’re only 19-year-old now, not much older than that little girl. Just wait a few more years. When the little girl reaches adulthood, you can make your move!”
Gu Pei wanted to tie up his subordinates and throw them out. “Everyone shut up!”
Everyone who was discussing instinctively covered their mouths.
Gu Pei’s face darkened as he warned, “If I hear you spouting nonsense again, watch how I deal with you all! Get out and run laps!”
The group of people quickly ran out of the hall as if they had received an amnesty.
In an instant, only Gu Pei and Xie Chaochao, who was still being interviewed on television, were left in the hall.
Gu Pei looked at the dirty little girl and couldn’t help but laugh.
He couldn’t help but recall Wang Han’s words. When he first obtained this dagger, he had indeed jokingly said that it was for his future wife. He had even attracted the ridicule of his teammates.
