Chapter 1551: 1550 is not quite right
Tall and chubby—if he were to put on a mask, wouldn’t this man be the very manager who the thugs in hand were talking about? Could it be such a coincidence? The hotel owner is the manager?
But Tan Rou gave it some thought and realized there indeed was such a possibility, because the recently fired Abiya was one of the people who had paid membership dues.
Abiya did not put up much of a fight against the boss’s scolding and beating, which certainly fit the profile if he were a timid person.
But the police had also said that Abiya was not an obedient man; he often got into fights and caused trouble around here. How could a troublemaker like him endure without fighting back? The boss had already fired him, so why would he tolerate the boss’s anger any longer?
Tan Rou set this thought aside for the moment, then smiled politely at him; after all, it was important not to lose ground in terms of momentum. Hamillen also waved at them.
Tan Rou entered the room with Zhuang Liu, smiling. As soon as they entered the room, Tan Rou’s smile immediately faded.
“There’s something off about this boss!”
“This boss is a bit strange!”
Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu spoke up at the same time.
“You go first!”
“No, you first!”
They both spoke at the same time again.
Tan Rou said, “You go ahead, I need to think a bit more.”
Zhuang Liu said, “He told us too much, starting with offering to show us around the attractions, then wanting to introduce a nut vendor to us. If I remember correctly, so far, we’ve only met him twice. And during the last meeting, our interaction wasn’t pleasant, as we caused him to fire an employee and lose some accommodation fees.”
Tan Rou chuckled and said, “If I were him, I would definitely keep my distance from people who cause me trouble, not offer to show them around or sell them things at a cheap price. There are only two possibilities for his actions: either he has some other scheme in mind, or he is simply a fool.”
Zhuang Liu was amused by Tan Rou’s words, “Considering that boss has managed to open so many hotels, he’s definitely not a fool. So his actions must certainly be premeditated. But for now, we don’t know what his plan is.”
Tan Rou said, “If he simply wants us to buy things, that won’t have much impact. After all, we do want to go out and have fun, and we do want to buy some nuts to take back. If what he offers is good, we might as well buy from him.”
“Yes,” Zhuang Liu nodded, “If we don’t want to buy his stuff, he can’t exactly put a gun to our heads. But even if he did put a gun to our heads, it wouldn’t matter since I have our weapons.”
“Don’t let them expose themselves. It’s not yet a critical time; it’s better to keep a low profile,” Tan Rou always had a bad premonition, “I feel that the Dawn Society is no simple matter, and in the end, there will certainly be a big battle.”
Zhuang Liu, quite worried, said, “Can we leave early? I don’t want you to get dragged into a war. Even though I know you’re strong, war is no joke. Even the strongest can die in war.”
“I asked you to bring people here not because I want to get involved in a war, but because I want to keep our people safe during it, that includes both you and me,” Tan Rou said, “I don’t wish for any of us to sacrifice, but now that I’m in the game, I doubt they’ll let me leave if I decide to.”
“Who?” Zhuang Liu asked very anxiously, “The princess herself?”
“No,” Tan Rou shook her head, “Samiyi might feel regret at my departure, but she won’t stop me. I can be sure of that. The ones I’m talking about are the people from the Dawn Society; they’re waiting for my response, and I reckon I won’t be able to leave this country without giving one.”
“What kind of response?” Zhuang Liu hadn’t heard about this matter before.
Tan Rou replied, “They want me to help them train soldiers, teach them how to use firearms, and improve their shooting speed and accuracy…”
“This is far too dangerous,” Zhuang Liu disagreed with Tan Rou’s involvement, “Tan Rou, will you promise me? Let’s not go there anymore, let’s leave now!”
