Chapter 120 An Unbreakable Relationship

Nie Zheng stood indifferently at the base entrance, frowning as he looked at Rong Jingchen's truckload of rabbits.

"What are you doing?"

"My girlfriend caught these rabbits herself. We couldn't finish them at home, so I brought a whole truckload to your farm for a taste..."

"I'll give you that villa, and the rabbits used for training in the back mountains?"

“Yes.” Rong Jingchen’s tone was a little dry. “Every rabbit hole was thoroughly cleaned. My girlfriend did all of that.”

"It took several months?"

Rong Jingchen: "...Two hours."

Nie Zheng's gaze sharpened: "You're joking."

“I’m not joking.” Rong Jingchen took a deep breath. “She hasn’t had enough fun yet. I’m thinking of… taking on a few missions with you and having some fun with her.”

Nie Zheng's face turned cold: "It's one thing for you to shamelessly stay in China, but now you've brought your burden along?"

Rong Jingchen: "I'll give you another 100 million."

Nie Zheng paused for a moment: "US dollars?"

Rong Jingchen: "...RMB. I don't have much money left. If you keep taking advantage of me like this, I might be squeezed out of the top five globally..."

Nie Zheng opened his phone and took out an electronic agreement: "One hundred million is fine, but you can also pay the twenty million yuan in overdue compensation that China signed with the RC1 Arms Base three years ago."

Rong Jingchen's face darkened: "Before I was allowed to enter the country, didn't you make me pay everything that was due? I still have the receipt for that compensation payment."

“That’s the principal,” Nie Zheng said with an “oh,” “and the 20 million is the interest.”

Rong Jingchen's eyes were deep and unfathomable: "Nie Zheng, I've put up with you for a long time."

“As long as you want to stay in China, you have to keep enduring it.” Nie Zheng pointed to the gate. “It’s fine if you don’t pay; you can go back now. China is a vast country with many interesting places to visit. I don’t necessarily have to assign you any tasks.”

With only two or three days, where am I supposed to find tasks...?

Rong Jingchen added another mark against Nie Zheng in his heart, and began transferring money with a blank expression.

"Do you have any information about your girlfriend?" Nie Zheng's tone softened slightly. "I need to verify her political background first. Only after I'm sure there are no problems will I assign you any tasks."

Rong Jingchen was prepared and took out a resume with a photo attached: "I brought it."

Nie Zheng took it and looked down at it.

While he was looking at the documents, Rong Jingchen made a request: "The 100 million can't be wasted. Don't give me any tasks like fishing with explosives, stealing money, or causing traffic accidents. Give me some high-class tasks."

Nie Zheng did not reply.

Rong Jingchen continued, "To make it more stylish, my girlfriend has a strong sense of heroism."

Nie Zheng still didn't reply.

Rong Jingchen keenly sensed that something was wrong with Nie Zheng.

He looked at Nie Zheng and saw that his gaze was still on Jiang Shu's resume and his expression was a little strange. His heart skipped a beat: "Is there... something wrong with this resume?"

Nie Zheng finally looked up from his resume, and his gaze towards Rong Jingchen was filled with scrutiny and a vague disdain: "You said you came to China because of your girlfriend?"

"Yes."

Nie Zheng sneered: "Your girlfriend is Jiang Shu?"

Rong Jingchen met his gaze: "Yes. Judging from your tone, you know him?"

Nie Zheng did not answer his question, but simply said, "There are human traffickers in the northern part of the capital. You can take her to deal with it. She knows about this kind of thing."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I just received a batch of cherries, the variety she loves the most. Could you bring her a few boxes later?"

Rong Jingchen's body tensed immediately: "What's your relationship with her?"

Nie Zheng stared at him for a long time before speaking cryptically: "An unbreakable relationship."

Rong Jingchen looked at him warily: "What do you mean by...unbreakable?"

"You're just a boyfriend who hasn't made things official, you have no right to know." Nie Zheng handed Jiang Shu's resume back to him. "Let it go this time, but don't take her on any more missions." Rong Jingchen: "..."

Ten minutes later, Rong Jingchen drove away in an empty pickup truck, looking annoyed.

Jiang Shu was still waiting for the roasted rabbit at Rong Jingchen's villa.

Rong Jingchen's subordinates were exceptionally enthusiastic and adoring towards her, their admiration flowing like a never-ending river.

“Mistress—no, Miss Jiang, you are truly amazing! These trained rabbits are the most cunning and treacherous. Our lord only managed to hunt a hundred in two hours last time.”

"Miss Jiang, could you teach me your marksmanship? I have never seen anyone wield a gun so skillfully, not even my master!"

"Miss Jiang, you are truly talented! If you were also in our line of work, there probably wouldn't be any legend about my master; it would be your territory everywhere..."

"..."

Jiang Shu modestly replied, "It was just so-so. Actually, I didn't even give it my all. The place was too small; it wasn't enough for me to perform to my full potential."

"He hasn't even used his full strength yet?" The subordinates' expressions of shock deepened. "Before meeting you, I never knew there was anyone who could wield a gun so skillfully!"

“The main reason is that I have a natural affinity for forests. I can sense where there are rabbits and pheasants, which you need to rely on luck to find. Jiang Shu added, “If you ask me to shoot fish in the sea or birds in the sky, then I can’t do it.”

"No, no, no! Miss Jiang, you're too modest!" Her subordinates mimicked her movements. "You just casually swept your hand behind you, and not a single bullet missed! It's simply unbelievable!"

Jiang Shu suppressed the smug look on her face and waved her hand: "You just need to know that I'm good, don't tell anyone else, otherwise a bunch of people will come to challenge me, and I'll be very annoyed."

"Don't worry, don't worry! We people from Jitian are always tight-lipped! Here, Miss Jiang, this plumpest rabbit leg is for you!"

There was some commotion outside the villa.

Rong Jingchen parked the truck, picked up the boxes of cherries from the passenger seat, and as soon as he entered the villa, he saw Jiang Shu and his subordinates enjoying a harmonious scene.

Jiang Shu sat lazily on the ground. Her subordinates, who had been cautious and timid in front of her, were now diligently placing a rabbit leg in her hand, while another subordinate enthusiastically offered her a glass of water...

Rong Jingchen's brow twitched slightly: "Leave two people to roast rabbits, the rest of you go to the back mountain to train for an hour."

The subordinates scattered like birds and beasts, sullen and disgruntled.

Rong Jingchen then walked over and looked at Jiang Shu, who was enjoying the roasted rabbit: "Is it good?"

Jiang Shu gave a satisfied "Mmm: The taste is so-so, but your subordinates are so good at talking! They're showering you with sweet words like they don't care about money, even the rabbit tastes better now!"

Rong Jingchen sighed softly, squatted down in front of her, and placed several boxes of cherries in front of her.

Jiang Shu exclaimed in surprise, "Where did you come from?"

"Nie Zheng gave it to me, saying you like it." Rong Jingchen probed, "How do you know Nie Zheng?"

"Actually, we're not that familiar." Jiang Shu said "Oh," and naturally picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth.

“Not very familiar… in what way do you mean by not familiar?” Rong Jingchen continued to ask.

Jiang Shu thought for a moment: "In all my life, I can count the number of times I've met him on one hand."

Rong Jingchen breathed a slight sigh of relief: "He actually told me that your relationship with her is unbreakable!"

Jiang Shu coughed lightly: "...Indeed, it can be considered unbreakable."

Rong Jingchen paused for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"I ask you, between you and me, who is the nemesis of whom?"

Rong Jingchen's heart softened slightly: "Of course, it's because my benefactor is my nemesis."

Jiang Shu then asked, "So, between me and my mom, who's bad luck to whom?"

Rong Jingchen became more serious: "Madam Jiang is your nemesis."

Rong Jingchen had seen how cowardly the fearless sugar daddy was in front of his mother-in-law.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow and sighed softly: "But Nie Zheng is my mother's nemesis—the kind that completely overpowers her."
