The Empress's Gigolo

Chapter 487: Failed to Negotiate

Simply by looking at the other party’s alert stance, Ren Baqian knew that they must be the people that he was looking for.

He also knew that they must be the people behind the accident that happened earlier.

Otherwise, why would they be leaving the hospital in a rush at this time and have such a big change in their facial expressions when they saw him and the empress?

There wasn’t even a need to question.

Ren Baqian walked toward them calmly and smiled. “You guys are so kind. You must be worried that I might not be able to find her and specially sent her down.”

The facial expressions of the people opposite them underwent a big change when they heard what Ren Baqian said. They quickly pushed the lady into the car and closed the door. The car immediately drove off, but the rest of the people didn’t board the car.

“Simply leaving like this without an old hand like me. What happens if you lose your way?” With a shuffle of his feet, Ren Baqian immediately leaped several meters ahead and landed beside the car.

“Stop him.” A few people outside quickly rushed toward Ren Baqian.

Ren Baqian grinned joyfully, thinking that a magnificent Man Wheel expert like him finally had the opportunity to strike.

After that, a red phantom flashed across the scene. Immediately, a few of those people flew away.

“Your Majesty, don’t lose the car. Please be lenient! We want her alive!” Ren Baqian exclaimed with a hint of anger.

It seemed like it still wasn’t time for him to strike.

The empress vanished in an instant. She landed on the car that had already driven a few meters away and slammed her palm downward.

Thump!

Ren Baqian could even feel the tremors from beneath his feet.

All of the windows of the Mercedes-Benz nanny van shattered. The car’s chassis immediately smashed into the ground, and the cement fragments beneath the car were launched all over the place.

Looking at it from the side, the van certainly took a beating. All four of its tires were popped and slammed into the ground.

However, other than all the glass being broken, there actually wasn’t much damage to the main body of the car.

A few of those lying on the ground who were still conscious were completely stupefied when they witnessed what happened.

Needless to say, it was the same for the people in the surroundings as well.

Being the best hospital in Shanghai, even if it was in the middle of the night, there were still many people going in and out. This move by the empress had left everyone that witnessed it completely astonished.

Ren Baqian turned his head and looked around. There weren’t many people, but there were at least ten of them. The state of the situation had a rather bad influence, but all of this was out of his control.

Who had he offended by simply driving home?

Ren Baqian stepped forward and open the car door. There were only three people inside; the driver, the lady who had been escorted, and another female bodyguard. All of them had their eyes wide open and looked at him in fear.

After carefully sizing the lady up, she was a 16 year old girl. She was wearing an oversized hospital gown and had a plaster cast on one arm. She looked quite pitiful especially with her frightened expression, which was pretty interesting.

“Come out on your own?” Ren Baqian was all smiles.

The girl shook her head at once and asked, “Who are you guys? What do you all want?”

Ren Baqian leaned forward, grabbed her arm, and immediately dragged her out. The girl fell onto the ground. Her face was filled with fear, and her tears welled up.

“Let go of the young lady!” the driver yelled as the female bodyguard pounced toward Ren Baqian.

“Get back.” Ren Baqian gently placed his palm on the bodyguard’s face. “I don’t wish to hit anyone.”

The female bodyguard’s neck got twisted by almost 90 degrees, and Ren Baqian even suspected that he heard a crack.

Ren Baqian turned around again and dug out a mobile phone from one of the bodyguards lying on the ground. He rushed toward the others and said, “Get your boss to call me as quickly as possible or else I’ll sink her in the Heilongjiang River. My patience is limited.”

“What are you doing? There’re so many people here watching. Aren’t you afraid of the police?” The young lady on the ground trembled.

“I am!” Ren Baqian sighed.

Before the young lady could even reply, Ren Baqian continued, “I can’t sleep without taking revenge! Insomnia is very painful. Did you know that? Huh?”

“Let’s go.” Ren Baqian rushed toward the empress and nodded.

Looking at the girl on the ground, the empress grabbed her leg with one hand and Ren Baqian’s collar with the other. The three of them instantly vanished into the night.

“Ah!” Just when the girl cried out, the empress shook her hand a little. Suddenly, all of the joints in the girl’s body seemed to have been immobilized. All that remained was a faint hum from her mouth.

“Let’s find a rooftop.” Shortly after Ren Baqian finished talking, the trio landed on the roof of a building over ten stories tall.

“What’s that smell?” Ren Baqian smelled something foul the moment they landed. Then, he glanced over at that girl who was lying paralyzed on the ground.

The girl on the ground couldn’t be bothered with the smell at this moment. First, she had been forcefully taken away from the van. Next, she was grabbed by the leg, left hanging upside down as they leaped through the sky, and watched as the ground and buildings below her head passed by. She was already lucky enough not to have fainted.

She began to cry as soon as the empress released her onto the roof.

Ren Baqian stood by the edge of the building and embraced the oncoming wind. Looking at the night scene of the city below, he instantly felt like taking a selfie.

“Come, smile.” Ren Baqian held that bodyguard’s phone and took a photo of himself and the red figure behind him before sending it in a message to his own phone.

Just as he finished with this, the phone lit up while the sound of Gokuraku Jodo

¹ rang out.

The screen displayed the word “BOSS” in upper case. Ren Baqian laughed and answered the call.

Only a faint breathing sound could be heard from the other end of the line, and no one said anything. Ren Baqian was patient and waited slowly.

“Who are you? Why did you capture my granddaughter?” After half a minute, the other party couldn’t hold it in any longer, and an old man’s voice sounded.

“I’m Ultraman Tiga, and I’m about to return to Nebula Messier 78. Seeing that your granddaughter has an amazing physique, I want to take her as my disciple and pass down my skill, ‘Buddha’s Palm,’ to her.” Ren Baqian sat at the edge of the building and smiled mischievously.

“What do you want? Say it. Don’t go overboard with your conditions!” the old man answered.

“It’s very simple. You and your wife will sit in a car while I’ll drive a truck at 130 kilometers per hour and ram it into your car. As long as you die, then, everything will be history.” Ren Baqian squinted his eyes and laughed.

Following Ren Baqian’s voice, a coarse breathing sound could be heard from the other end of the line.

“Be realistic! What exactly do you want?” the elder questioned as he repressed the anger in his heart.

“Alternatively, tell me your location, and as long as you don’t die tonight, this will be considered settled.”

“Wen Hua Hotel in Hong Kong. I’ll wait for you here.” The elderly voice sounded a little more carefree.

F*ck! You actually aren’t in Shanghai? Ren Baqian thought.

“There’s something regretful that I wish to tell you. There will be one more person missing from this world.” Ren Baqian felt a toothache after he snapped out of his daze.

The old bastard wasn’t actually in Shanghai? It would be troublesome to capture him in that case.

“Do you really think that you can be lawless?” The elder raged.

“I can’t bear that responsibility. The lawless one is you, isn’t it? Since you refuse to show up, your granddaughter will have to tide through this calamity for you. Everyone says that keeping a jade would prevent calamity, but for you, you keep a granddaughter to prevent calamity. I’m not sure how many granddaughters you have? Or how many calamities you can prevent?” Ren Baqian laughed grimly.

“One doesn’t take grudges out upon the family of the culprit. If you don’t abide by the rules, aren’t you afraid that something might happen to your family?” the elder replied in anger.

Ren Baqian even heard something breaking from the other end of the call.

Ren Baqian sneered. If the nation allowed his family to get harmed, it wouldn’t simply be one or two people who ended up dying.

Regardless of how things concluded between Ren Baqian and the elder, the nation would ensure that nothing happened to his family, and he held great faith in this.

“Come and bid farewell to your granddaughter. It’s such a beautiful world, but unfortunately, she won’t be able to see it anymore.” Ren Baqian placed the phone at the girl’s ear.

“Grandpa save me!” the girl yelled as she cried.

Ren Baqian immediately hung up the phone, not bothering to hear what Wang Zhi had to say from the other end of the call.

“Do you still want to live?” Ren Baqian squatted beside the girl and smiled. “Where do you live?”

In the eyes of the girl, Ren Baqian’s smile seemed like the devil’s. She shouted herself hoarse and screamed, “If you kill me, Grandpa will take revenge.”

“You really think that your grandpa can avenge you? In other words, does he have the ability to?” Ren Baqian smiled in response.

“Definitely, yes.” The girl was terrified, but her voice was resolute.

“How regretful. Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel,” Ren Baqian mumbled as he stood up.

After this incident, Ren Baqian realized that it was simply too troublesome to rely on the nation for everything. Even when he didn’t provoke anyone, there would always be problems like this that fell upon him. It seemed like he still needed to create his own influence here on Earth. This way, he wouldn’t be helpless when he got into trouble.

Hmm… First, I shall get 100 burly Earth Wheel experts with extremely thick arms and bring them over to Earth.

“Kill her?” the empress asked faintly from the side.

The girl became even more frightened, and her entire body began to shiver. In her eyes, the both of them were devils.

“Any last words? This world is beautiful, and it’s such a pity that you won’t be able to see it anymore.” Ren Baqian turned his head and looked at her.

“My grandpa will definitely seek vengeance for me. The police will definitely catch you!” the girl answered in despair.

Ren Baqian felt it was rather vapid. Such conversations made it feel as if he were the boss of the villains in a soap opera.

He, however, was the victim! Who had he provoked! He couldn’t even return to his own home in the middle of the night. Furthermore, he had to withstand the wrath of the cold wind on the rooftop of a tall building while still bearing the hatred of someone else.

Looking at the little girl there, who was curled up like a little puppy that was waiting to receive its death sentence, Ren Baqian faintly replied, “Take her with us for now. She might still be of use to us.”
