“No, I’m calling your private number. Then I’m definitely not looking for Father, but for you.”
Zhou Xuan’s words made the butler’s eyes widen slightly. He had a bad feeling. However, he still maintained his basic composure and revealed a kind smile. “Young Master, why are you looking for me? Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Of course. I’m afraid there’s no one else who can help me with this now except you.”
Zhou Xuan’s words seemed to know everything. “If I’m not wrong, the control of the Zhou family’s team of sacrificial soldiers should be in your hands, right?” “Young Master, what are you talking about? Why don’t I understand? What sacrificial soldiers? What team? I’m just an old man with half a foot in the coffin. You think too highly of me.”
Of course, the butler couldn’t admit this, so he wanted to pretend to be stupid to escape. “If you want money or something, 1 might be able to help you.” “Uncle Li, you’ve been by my father’s side for most of your life, no matter if it’s during difficult times or when you’re enjoying life. In a certain sense, your status in the family is probably comparable to Second Uncle and Third Uncle, right?”
Zhou Xuan told the truth without hiding anything. “You’ve seen me grow up. You should know my personality better than many people. 1 won’t say things I’m not confident of easily. Since I’ve already asked you this, it means that I know everything.”
The butler naturally knew this, but he couldn’t just admit it. After all, this was a secret of the Zhou family.
Before the butler could answer, Zhou Xuan spoke again. “1 believe you know the situation at home very well. My second and third uncles don’t get along with Father, so 1 guess in order to prevent anything from happening to him, he will definitely hand over the control of the sacrificial soldiers to you.”
Zhou Xuan pressed on. “Although I’m not at home for most of the year, it doesn’t mean that I don’t know anything.”
At this point, the butler knew very well that he could not hide it anymore, so he decided not to continue hiding it.
Because he also knew that the person the old master doted on the most was Young Master Zhou Xuan. The control of the sacrificial soldiers would sooner or later be handed over to Zhou Xuan.
“Young Master, you’re right. Master did hand over the control of the sacrificial soldiers to me, but it’s only temporarily managed.”
The butler paused for a moment before admitting, “But why did you suddenly ask about this? You should know that the Zhou family can’t use sacrificial soldiers unless they have no choice.”
“I know that, but 1 have to save someone now. 1 can’t care so much anymore. Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have taken the initiative to call you.”
Zhou Xuan didn’t hide anything and directly told the truth. Because at such a critical moment, there was no point in finding too many excuses.
“You want to save someone?” The butler was surprised.
“That’s right. I wasn’t prepared to hide it from you from the beginning. I’m going to bring people to save Shan Yue.”
Zhou Xuan’s tone was very anxious. “And I might have to go overseas for a while. The other party isn’t a good person. Guns and ammunition are indispensable, so it’s definitely not something these bodyguards around me can deal with. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have used the sacrificial soldiers I’ve been hiding for so many years.”
“Young Master, I know that Miss Shan Yue is your girlfriend, but she’s not a member of the Zhou family yet. Moreover, the sacrificial soldiers are not for someone…”
Before the butler could finish speaking, Zhou Xuan immediately interrupted him.
“I understand, Uncle Li, but 1 can’t let her take the risk herself. You just have to give me the authority to mobilize the sacrificial soldiers. No matter what happens in the future, I’ll bear it alone. 1 definitely won’t implicate you.”
At this moment, Zhou Xuan had already made up his mind. Nothing could change his heart to help Shan Yue. Even without the help of the sacrificial soldiers, he would go alone.
“You know very well what kind of person I am. There are some things I will regret for the rest of my life if 1 don’t do them. 1 don’t want to miss Shan Yue, and 1 don’t want her to be without me when she’s in danger.”
The butler doted on Zhou Xuan to begin with, as if he was his family. After hearing his words, he was even more moved..
