Chapter 774: Events Of The Previous Life
How impressive Hou Zi was, Ye Jian1 did not know, however, in her previous life, while she was working in a security company, her Big Boss had a good relationship with Hou Zi. When he found out she was being hunted down by someone powerful, he originally wanted to ask Hou Zi to keep her safe.
But not only did Hou Zi not help them, he only sent a message to her Big Boss: it’d be best if you sent her away, I cannot involve myself in this.
It’d be best if you sent her away, he can’t involve himself, from that, it was enough evidence that Ye Ying had already sought out Hou Zi and wanted to hire Hou Zi’s underlings to get rid of Ye Jian.
Because of that one sentence, her Big Boss had no other choice than to send her away, after calling her into his room, he sighed: “What did you do to get on the bad side of someone this influential? Even Hou Zi cannot help you?”
At that time, she didn’t know who Hou Zi was, and she also didn’t know her Big Boss had contacted Hou Zi, she was only stunned in place after hearing that name, she thought in her heart: Monkey cannot help her? What does her matter have anything to do with monkeys?
(TL note: Hou Zi sounds like a monkey in Mandarin)
After her Big Boss spelled out ‘Hou Zi’s name, did she know that this Hou Zi wasn’t what she was thinking about?
“He’s someone powerful who made a name for himself off the streets from scratch, he’s neither good nor evil, no one knows how many properties he has, but everyone from the streets knows this saying “You’d rather mess with the cops than mess with Hou Zi,” “Ye Jian, this is something that even Hou Zi cannot involve himself in, you better be careful.”
Finishing that, the Big Boss, who was a retired veteran in his twilight years, continued: “Of course, there’s also the possibility that my relationship with Hou Zi isn’t enough to involve him in this.”
She doesn’t know who this Hou Zi was, but from Big Boss’s expression, she realized that this was a compelling character; by the time Big Boss had finished his simple introduction of Hou Zi, her face started to pale.
Precisely because of that, her previous thoughts of continuing to stay at the security company were eradicated. She hadn’t known when Ye Ying was already that influential, being able to contact Hou Zi and all.
“Based on your abilities, you could’ve actually made a name for yourself, but that person who has a grudge towards you is too powerful, they are already capable of shielding the skies. Ye Jian, I’ll give you some advice, go seek out Hou Zi, if your skills can get his approval, then you just might have a living chance.”
“His hotel business is quite huge, and you can try working in all the hotels, see if you can find that lucky place which is under Hou Zi’s name with your luck.”
Before she left, Big Boss gave her advice, that’s also the reason she was able to continue living on, if she could find Hou Zi, then she would be able to live.
In her previous life, she spent the last few years of her life working hard, collecting intel about Ye Ying while also seeking out Hou Zi, at the same time, she started entering hotels in search of Hou Zi.
Unfortunately, she’s been to so many cities and so many places in her past life, in her search for Hou Zi, Ye Jian had worked hard and learned many things, but in the end, she was unable to find him.
Contrastingly, in this life, she hadn’t even remembered this person called Hou Zi, and he had just appeared out of nowhere, she was quite grateful about everything momentarily.
Neither had she thought this infamous street character, Third Master Hou, had such great looks, the 37-year-old man oozed an aura that he had gone through many hardships of life, a subtle melancholic expression could be seen from his slanted eyes, no one would’ve guessed that he was an infamous person on the streets, instead, he looked like a wandering artist.
Hou Zi was seeing Old Granny Ye, who was racking up a storm in his hotel, with his gaze. He then glanced at the two bouncers who were crawling and tumbling away; a cold disdainful smile hung on the edges of his lips.
Causing so much trouble when you’re already so old, aren’t you scared of risking your past life?
