Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Chapter 552 Are You a Saint or Something?

"This thing absolutely can't be kept at home!"

Song Bu said gravely, "I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night and find over a dozen burly men glaring at me from the bedside!"

"I know, but there's nowhere to hide it either. Those people seem to have a very keen sense of information; otherwise, why would they have found someone to snatch it the moment I handed over the dominoes?"

Song Yun said with a worried face: "Some people must have already received news that the dominoes are in my hands."

"This damn thing's a real curse!" Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

Song Bu also started to feel despondent.

The moment one person knows this thing's in the Song Family, there'd be no secrets left.

Father and son stared at the dominoes in front of them, lost in thought.

"What do you think would happen if we took this artifact back to Forty-nine City?"

Song Bu asked, "They couldn't possibly chase us all the way there, could they?"

"I don't know, but I guess we'd be fine if we didn't leave the house. But if they know we're taking the dominoes out of the Magic Capital, I bet on the way..."

Song Yun swallowed his saliva and said, "The allure of this thing is too great for them. Even though only a very few people have unlocked its secrets over the past thousand years, the rest would swarm in, determined not to let anyone else have it, even if they can't decipher it themselves."

"Fuck! Can't throw it away, can't keep it either! Might as well tie a rope around it and hang it outside! Whoever manages to snatch it can have it!"

Song Bu said fiercely.

Although this method might lead to many getting hurt or even losing their lives, what's that got to do with me!

If you all want this item so badly, then you've got to pay the price!

Meanwhile, in a high-class club on the outskirts of the Magic Capital.

Shi Si was sitting in a boss chair, listening to his subordinate's report.

He had invested in building this club more than a decade ago as a way to network and connect.

The implications of this statement were a bit like a warning; Lao Liu, after so many years in the business world, knew too well what Shi Si meant.

Subordinates with flaws are preferred because they always have a weakness that can be used against them, which could be the means of expelling them if they ever get out of line.

Yet, Lao Liu seemed to have forgotten this over the years, acting with a sense of industrious duty that puzzled Shi Si.

If it weren't for the fact that Lao Liu's forebears for three generations had been peripheral members of the family, Shi Si would have been ruthless by now!

"Young master, actually... I have an unspeakable secret."

Lao Liu spoke haltingly, "A few years ago, due to an accident, I now have some difficulties in... that respect as a man. If possible, I hope the young master could ask the family for a prescription for me..."

"Ah?"

Shi Si was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing, "You, you, such a trivial matter could have been directly discussed with me! Don't worry, once you return to the family with me, I will find the best physician in the family to treat you!"

"Thank you, young master. You are truly my savior!"

"Speaking of which, what are you planning to do about your wife and son?"

Shi Si asked while lightly caressing his wine glass, "It might not be possible for them to accompany you."

"My wife is a greedy woman, so much that life without wealth would kill her. In fact, she has been fooling around outside these past few years, and I have countless dirt on her that I could use to divorce her anytime."

Lao Liu said through clenched teeth, "But I still beseech the young master to give my son a chance; he is truly brilliant! As he grows, he will surely become a valuable asset to the young master!"

"You're making me quite interested. Bring your son to me tomorrow night, and if he passes the test, I'll agree to what you've proposed. But if he doesn't pass... it's very possible that his mind could be damaged. You should be prepared for that."

"Thank you, young master! I am willing to serve under you for generations to come, at your behest!"

"Hmm, I'm a bit tired. You may leave now."

After Lao Liu left the office, a shadow emerged from behind Shi Si.

"Young master, Qian Shuo has been dealt with."

"Hmm, let's be patient this time. Let's see what choices Song Yun will make in the face of the upcoming tempest."
