OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 128 ELABORATE NEGOTIATIONS
Some old friends came to visit Lau without notice, without permission to break into the room he locked. Lau puts down the phone still connected to Weini, Weini's vague call sounding to her that their conversation is not over. With a red button pressed on the screen to hang up the phone, what happens next does not need to be heard by others. Enough he finished in a manly manner, between men and men.
“The old guard He did not meet, why is it so tense at this meeting? You all come all the way here must be tired, let me make tea and talk calmly.” Lau was still trying to calm down even though he knew the purpose of them bothering to approach him was definitely to catch him.
“I appreciate your hospitality, Lau. But sorry we don't have much time to beat around the bush, the great lord ordered us to arrest you on charges of co-operation of lies with the young master.” He's bodyguards show the plaque of command provided by Li San, with the power of the plaque that anyone who is given the task has the privilege
determine the strategy or justify all means to complete the task mission. If Lau is killed during this arrest, then the bodyguard appointed specifically for duty will escape punishment, this is the full power intended from the holder of the plaque.
Lau can still smile and calm even though the mission of his guests has been heard. He was reluctant to dodge or escape, however, he was calmer when he was near Xiao Jun who must have had trouble alone there. “Oh, you want to directly enforce the command. I won't run away, it's better to catch up with my master than to take care of business alone. Mumpung there is an opportunity outside, better enjoy a cup of local tea then I will come with you without a fight.”
Guards He and his three companions looked at each other, they were astonished and doubtful at the awkward offer. Their estimate of this forced pick-up mission would lead to infighting or perhaps bloodshed given Lau's highly capable kung fu abilities. In fact, he was willing to be taken after his tea offer was approved.
“Peach your word to be cooperative after the banquet is over, come with us without a fight.” Guardsman He made sure to return before he agreed to sit down for a moment.
Lau smiled, “We're almost thirty years into a bodyguard, is it still not long to know each other?”
Guards He and his men were welcome to sit on the sofa of the room, Lau himself brewing tea from the mini kitchen in Xiao Jun's office room. The taste of Central Java tea that has never been enjoyed by the guards, Lau sure will be in accordance with their taste.
Five cups of tea were presented on the table, Lau gave one by one to his colleagues but they looked hesitant to taste. Lau glanced at their reaction then he sipped the hot tea first. “Let's relax, there's no poison in your drink. Or do I need to taste one by one so you're sure?”
Guard He reluctantly judged negative, he took his ration cup and began to sip. Seeing his command drink, the other followers immediately took his share. A faint smile rang from Lau's lips, as bad as his condition if he could sit down and talk about it calmly would be better than using force.
“Service He, is mister Xiao Jun okay?” lau asked, he tried to take the heart of his fellow professional.
He's bodyguards were less than happy to be piqued by the question about the troubled young master. In his mind, Lau must be up to something. “You still dare to ask after the conspiracy that was done with the young master? Your head is big too, don't count it because I'm willing to buy time for your drinking offer and then you think I can be compromised. Sorry bodyguard Lau, law remains law do not equate with friendship.”
Lau chuckled at the argument, “Ha ha ha... Do you think I would bribe you with this drink? Can we take off office for a moment and talk to friends?”
“Ha ha ha... I only carry out the task of protecting and serving my master, what loyalty is called conspiracy? You are also a bodyguard, if there is in my position should it be against your master?” lau said, he still carried a calm.
Lau's successful question made the bodyguard He frowned, he imagined the position and could not deny his small heart. If he had been in Lau's position, it would probably have done the same. “Yes, this is a difficult choice but the big master is our master. You should have been an accomplice to the great master and reported the young master's demeanor that began to deviate. We are only subordinates, what does it mean to have our lives in trouble. Young master is still a favorite child, no matter how great master he is not going to kill him. Now who can help you? You are the most sacrificed in this matter.”
“Can sacrifice for mister Xiao Jun is my greatest pride, I am willing to die for him and there will be no regrets.” Lau Mantap.
He's antipathy guards begin to sympathize with Lau's loyalty. Their inner bond must be very deep because since childhood Lau was the one who took care of Xiao Jun. “That's your choice, I don't blame.”
“I am ready to join, but what is the fate of this company after my departure? Mister Xiao Jun built it with hard work, I followed the process of his struggle. It is unfortunate that it is abandoned just because of family problems.” Lau seriously voiced his heart, Xiao Jun's mandate to take care of business during his departure was a burden if he had to come home.
Guards He laughed, “Talk like that as if you don't know the great master. Business affairs will not be mixed up with family matters. He's sent a team of professionals to run this company without you. What else are you charging?”
Lau laughed, he underestimated Li San too much. In fact, it is the one that is not considered and easily replaced. “Thank God, I can leave without guilt to the young master. Guard He, I will leave you the great master and the young master. Consider this my will, beware of the real traitor! You guys are easy
convict me of conspiring, but near you there must be a traitor who is laughing with satisfaction. You can believe it or not, but please after my death please take care of mister Xiao Jun for me.”
He's bodyguards didn't answer Lau's plea, although it sounded pitiful but they were destined to be steel-hearted bodyguards. Ignore feelings and tepis of tears, living dead only for the sake of serving at the risk of death honorable or despicable.
Lau offered both hands, ready to be handcuffed according to the arrest procedure. There was no point in putting up a fight, there was only aggravating the punishment and making things difficult for his master. He only hoped that before the execution took place, he would still be given the chance to pay his last respects to Xiao Jun. Receive
love for all the kindness and familiarity that Xiao Jun has been giving all this time.
Young master, I'm sorry I couldn't protect Weini. If there's another life, I'm willing to be your bodyguard again.
