C650 Checking the Kitchen

Hee Zhuanggen smiled happily as he paced back and forth behind Master Wang. He said casually, "Well, it's fate that we can work together here. We have to take care of each other. Don't fight with each other, and don't cause any trouble that will cause harm to others and ourselves! "

Du Qi could not help but be startled when he heard this. He originally thought that Lan Denggui and the others asking him for protection fees was their private action. Now it seemed that Hee Zhuanggen was secretly supporting them. At least he knew that Lan Denggui and the others did not stop them. If that was the case, it could be said that Lan Denggui let him go so easily until tonight. Why couldn't he do anything to Yue Yang? Then what kind of strong backer did Yue Yang have?

Seeing Du Qi only lowering his head to work and not replying, Hee Zhuanggen thought that Du Qi was afraid. His goal had been achieved, so he smiled even more happily and said, "You guys take your time to do it. You must do it well. Don't cut corners. I will go somewhere else to take a look. Manager Wei will come down and check later!" After saying that, Hee Zhuanggen left in high spirits.

Seeing that Hee Zhuanggen had already left the kitchen, Master Wang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He asked in a low voice, "Those kids really did not make things difficult for you?"

Hearing Master Wang's words, Du Qi could not help but be startled and quickly said, "Really not!"

Master Wang did not seem to believe what Du Qi said and said seriously, "Tell the truth!"

Du Qi asked in confusion, "Why does Master Wang not believe what I said?"

Master Wang said, puzzled, "Strange. Those kids actually let you go. Did they change their nature?" After a slight pause, Master Wang's eyes stared at Du Qi like a torch. He encouraged, "You don't have to be afraid. If those kids dare to make things difficult for you, just tell me and I'll get revenge for you!"

Du Qi was stunned again. Master Wang seemed to be busy with his own business now. Why did he want to help him? He didn't know if Master Wang had been repeatedly wronged by Hee Zhuanggen and was ready to vent his anger on Lan Denggui and the others, or if he couldn't bear to see him hide the matter in his heart for a moment. Or did he want to use this opportunity to settle it with Hee Zhuanggen? Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw Hee Zhuanggen run in hurriedly. He called out in a slightly flustered manner, "Everyone, pack up quickly and come over here to stand. Manager Wei, come over and check right away!"

As soon as Hee Zhuanggen's voice faded, the kitchen immediately became chaotic. The cook hurriedly tidied up the tools and at the same time, ordered the kitchen staff beside him to do simple cleaning. Before they were done, they heard someone call out, "Manager Wei is here!"

Everyone followed the sound and looked towards the kitchen door. They saw a group of six people walking in with high spirits. The person in front was forty-four years old, with a medium build and a mustache. He had a straight face and wore a shining silk robe. However, his body was slightly hunched. He held a pipe in his right hand, which made him look somewhat wretched. However, Du Qi could see that he was dressed in such a manner to conceal his extraordinary martial arts. Seeing them arrive, Hee Zhuanggen quickly went up to them and greeted them respectfully, "Hello Manager Wei, hello Master Hee!"

It turned out that the person in front was Manager Wei. He did not even look at Hee Zhuanggen. He just used a pipe to gently push Hee Zhuanggen to the side, then walked into the kitchen as if there was no one else around. He looked around arrogantly, pointing and talking about the east and the west. He seemed very dissatisfied.

Hee Dazhuang followed closely behind Manager Wei. Although he tried to flatter him, his expression was cold and arrogant. It was obvious that he looked down on Manager Wei, but he had to pretend to be humble in front of others.

Hee Dazhuang followed two men with sabers at their waists to his left and right. Du Qi saw that the two men's martial arts were not high. They might be Manager Wei's bodyguards, but they did not have much ability. They were just using Manager Wei's identity to intimidate others.

The two men behind Hee Dazhuang were dressed like servants, and they had the same cold and arrogant expression on their faces. Their actions were exaggerated as they stared at Manager Wei and the two guards in front of them with cold smiles on their faces. One of the men who seemed to be Hee Dazhuang's long followers was nothing special except for some Yin Qi. The other one had powerful martial arts, even though he tried his best to hide it. No wonder Hee Dazhuang dared to speak so arrogantly. It turned out that there was such a powerful person supporting him behind his back. It seemed like the incident on the ship was getting more and more interesting.

Du Qi was just about to take a closer look at the expert behind Hee Dazhuang when that expert looked at him with a brilliant divine light. Du Qi only felt that the expert's eyes were like solid objects striking his body. Suddenly, he felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling. He couldn't help but be shocked. He hurriedly retracted his gaze and lowered his head, not daring to look at the expert anymore.

Du Qi admitted that he hid it well. Even though Qu Cai, East Pavilion and other powerful martial arts practitioners who knew each other passed by him, he was still able to hide it well. As long as one did not see his appearance, one might not be able to tell that he was a martial arts practitioner. But now, not only did the expert behind Hee Dazhuang seem to have sensed it, Manager Wei seemed to have seen through his disguise and stopped in front of him. He used the smoking pipe that was burning brightly to support his chin and ordered at the same time, "Raise your head!"

If he had been injured before, Du Qi would not have put the expert behind Manager Wei and Hee Dazhuang in his eyes. But now, not only had he not recovered from his injuries, but his true essence was far from fully recovered. Even if he were to deal with the two saber-carrying guards, he might not be able to deal with them, and would not be able to deal with Manager Wei at all. Thus, he could only pretend to be afraid and step back. He raised his head timidly, but he only looked at Manager Wei for a moment before he hurriedly lowered his head. At the same time, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he was speechless. He only hoped that such an act could eliminate Manager Wei's suspicion. Unexpectedly, Manager Wei did not let him go. He asked lightly, "You are the new Du Qi?"

Du Qi could not help sighing in his heart, and said somewhat helplessly, "Yes, yes!" As he spoke, Du Qi stepped back in fear. In fact, he had the advantage. If Manager Wei wanted to harm him, he could escape from the kitchen and throw himself into the river before he died, but he did not expect Jiaojiao to help him fight the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Manager Wei did not move. Instead, he appeared to be easy-going. He said with a faint smile, "Good, good. Someone asked me to bring you a letter to tell you not to worry. What she said will be kept in mind. Once she has time, she will come to see you!"

Du Qi could not help but secretly sigh when he heard this. It turned out that Manager Wei paid attention to him just to send a message. Thinking carefully. The expert behind Hee Dazhuang also didn't notice that he was carrying a weapon. Perhaps it was because that expert wanted to establish his authority that he looked at everyone with a sharp gaze. It was only because he had doubts in his heart that he felt that way. Hence, he hurriedly and respectfully said, "Thank you, Chief. Please tell her that everything is fine for me. Tell her not to worry!"

Manager Wei, however, did not pay attention to Du Qi. He just nodded slightly and continued walking inside. It seemed that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, and he no longer had the mood to look at it carefully.
