Chapter 272 - 10.13
"Master Long, this is the current review of our trade movement. I think the cartel from the south wants to do something with the tightening security from the government," Long Shen opened his eyes. He found that he was in this restarting point again. He was already a notorious crime lord named Long Zhen, thirty-two years old. He was able to expand the Long family’s influence to an international level.
But Long Zhen was always alone. He had many, in fact, so many enemies that Long Shen already lost count. He had many allies as well, though he didn’t fully trust any of them. And that was one thing that Long Zhen really wanted and longed for...
Trustful ally... or, in this case, a trustful lover.
Long Shen and Long Zhen had the same characteristic. Both of them were devoid of emotion most of the time and very untrustful to someone. Long Shen was born and raised in an entertainment circle, so trust was something almost foreign in his ear.
"I will talk to the higher-up about the security. As long as our transportations don’t get inspected, there will be no problem at all," Long Zhen said. The underling nodded and retreated, leaving Long Zhen alone in his wide and empty room.
It was the same feeling for Long Shen, who was used to a luxurious, wide empty room. Just like his heart.
Long Zhen got up from the chair and walked to the balcony. He was looking at the dark garden, dimly lit by a few garden lampposts. He stared for a moment and then laughed.
"It seems that trashy Director already sent her third spy," Long Zhen laughed mirthlessly. The spy was climbing the wall with his gadget and landed on the room beside Long Zhen’s room.
He used the vent and sneaked to Long Zhen’s room. Long Zhen already knew what this spy/assassin would do. So he just laid on his bed as if sleeping. The spy suspected nothing, and when he peeked from the vent, he saw Long Zhen was sleeping.
