Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter 499 Sorcerer

Chapter Four Hundred Ninety-Nine

Yunkun Province, Kun City, a plane touched down.

Xiaoshan accompanied Song Yi out of the airport. Kun City is a tropical city with spring-like weather all year round, very beautiful.

It was Xiaoshan's first time here, and as he disembarked from the airplane, a wave of heat washed over him, which was much hotter than in Hechuan.

In the deep autumn season, one didn't need to wear any sweaters in Kun City, a T-shirt would suffice.

The two bought some lightweight clothes at a shopping mall near the airport. Xiaoshan casually put on a T-shirt and shorts, while Song Yi chose a set of camouflage attire, camouflage pants below and a camouflage tank top above, even donning a pair of boots, looking incredibly dashing.

After changing clothes, Song Yi said, "I need to contact a friend first!"

"A friend?"

"Yes, someone I met at a cocktail party once, his name is Zhou Shuanghu. He's big in the jade stone business here in Yunkun. Otherwise, why would I suddenly get into the jade business? It was him who pulled strings for me," Song Yi said.

"Oh, you have such good connections, why were you squeezed to death by Seajade Pavilion?" Xiaoshan asked.

"What do you think? He's just a business partner of mine; I already paid a hefty price for him to introduce me to the jade circle. To ask him to help me crush Seajade Pavilion is not that simple. Men... huh," Song Yi hummed a few times, not continuing.

Xiaoshan leaned in with a smile, "Could it be that this Zhou Shuanghu has designs on Sister Song Yi?"

"What do you think?" Song Yi gave Xiaoshan a glance.

It had to be said that although this woman usually had a volatile temperament and wasn't quite ladylike, she was undeniably attractive, and with her long legs and great figure, just a hint of femininity in her expression made her more enticing than the average woman.

"I get it, Sister Song Yi, you invited me not just for gambling on stones but also hoped to get a free bodyguard, right?" Xiaoshan said.

"What bodyguard... at best, a bodyguard," Song Yi replied.

"A bodyguard, but a personal bodyguard at that."

"Go away, a personal bodyguard my big head," Song Yi couldn't be bothered with Xiaoshan and took out her phone to call Zhou Shuanghu.

After the call, she said, "Zhou Shuanghu is now at the Four Seasons Hotel, let's go."

The two hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Four Seasons Hotel.

Once they arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel, Song Yi knew Zhou Shuanghu's room number and led Xiaoshan to room 808, pressing the doorbell.

Ding-dong, ding-dong.

After two rings, the door opened.

A man dressed in a black T-shirt, with a buzz cut, very dark and muscular skin, and a hint of menace about him, opened the door. He glanced at the two at the doorway and said in a deep voice, "Whom are you looking for?"

"Is President Zhou there? Tell him Song Yi is here," Song Yi said.

"Ah, President Song, you've come," a man's voice came from the inside, followed by a man weighing roughly two hundred kilograms appearing in Xiaoshan's view, with a cigar in his mouth, his face so plump his eyes were nearly squished shut.

He waved his hand, and the bodyguard immediately stepped aside.

Zhou Shuanghu, seeing the tall and fit Song Yi standing at the door, his eyes gleaming, quickly reached out his hand. Although Song Yi didn't care for the man, she relied on his connections for the Myanmar trip and reluctantly offered her hand; each time, he squeezed her hand for several minutes without letting go, really turning her stomach.

"Ah, President Zhou, I've long admired you!"

Long Xiaoshan popped out from behind and quickly grabbed Zhou Shuanghu's porky paws first, shaking them vigorously.

Zhou Shuanghu felt as if a large iron clamp had seized his hand, shaking it up and down, causing his whole body's fat to tremble uncontrollably, almost dislodging the cigar from his mouth.

"Who are you?" Zhou Shuanghu was greatly annoyed.

But Long Xiaoshan was all smiles and since he had come with Sister Yi, Zhou held back his anger without understanding the situation.

"Hello, I'm Sister Song's brother, just tagging along to see the world," said Long Xiaoshan.

"So, you're President Song's brother." Zhou Shuanghu's mouth twitched twice, his simmering rage unable to erupt, as he squeezed out a bit of a smile and said, "Hello, hello."

"Brother Zhou, I've always heard my sister say how awesome you are in Yunkun. This time you've got to take me out for some fun and show me how impressive Brother Zhou really is," Long Xiaoshan said, overly familiar as he slung his arm around Zhou Shuanghu's shoulder and pulled him into the room.

Song Yi watched speechless as Long Xiaoshan spouted nonsense, running his mouth off like a train off its tracks.

They had clearly agreed on the way that he was to pretend to be her bodyguard, but in a blink, he had become her brother. Next time, what, was he going to claim to be her husband? Tch.

Song Yi spat contemptuously to herself.

And followed them into the room.

Zhou Shuanghu's room was large, clearly a presidential suite. Aside from the bodyguard who opened the door earlier, there were four others; three of them were as formidable-looking as the bodyguard, with an aura of blood and fire about them, and then there was a skinny, middle-aged man of Southeast Asian descent, dark and lean, with more whites in his eyes than pupils, several pouches hanging from him, and ornaments made of bone around his neck and hands. The whole impression he gave off was eerily somber. When Long Xiaoshan entered, his eyes lingered on the middle-aged man for an extra moment. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

"Brother Zhou, you're amazing, having all these guys under you," Long Xiaoshan remarked.

Knowing that Long Xiaoshan was Song Yi's brother, Zhou Shuanghu wanted to show off his own powerful resources. Besides, he had long had his eye on Song Yi, and wouldn't put in so much effort to pave the way for her if not for his selfish interests.

If Song Yi became his woman, then Long Xiaoshan would be his brother-in-law.

"Haha, little brother Xiaoshan, not to boast, but each of my men could take on ten by themselves. They're all battle-hardened mercenaries. Look at this Luo Fei, a renowned veteran from the mercenary group Blood Wolf. And this one is Agus, retired from the US Navy SEALs…"

Zhou Shuanghu boasted to Long Xiaoshan with vigor, presenting each of his men as either special forces or from well-known mercenary corps. But when it came to the somber middle-aged man, Zhou Shuanghu hesitated, not continuing.

Long Xiaoshan said, "How about him, Brother Zhou? Why don't you introduce this subordinate of yours?"

"Hmph!" The gaunt middle-aged man snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied.

Zhou Shuanghu's flesh quivered as he said, "Ahem, well, little brother Xiaoshan, he is a sorcerer from Myanmar, hired by Zhou as a guide. You know, it's quite unstable in Myanmar right now, what with the civil war and all. Master Wu Qin is well-connected there and extraordinarily powerful; even the armed groups there have to show him some respect."

"So, he is a Sorcerer!"

Long Xiaoshan looked at Wu Qin with great interest.

He already knew that Sorcerers in Southeast Asia were formidable, on par with the Gu Masters of the Miao Frontier, and he hadn't expected to meet one so soon.

Long Xiaoshan's blatant stare made the Master Wu Qin very uncomfortable.

Sorcerers held high status in Southeast Asia, typically revered like messengers of the deity spirit by the locals. Were it not for Zhou Shuanghu's high price, someone of their stature would not serve as a bodyguard.

Wu Qin glared coldly at Long Xiaoshan, and instantaneously, an icy chill seemed to penetrate through him.
