Hary met him by the entrance of the mansion with a wide smirk. Seeing the small splashes of blood on his hand, he froze. "Am I going to get arrested?"
"No, I hope not. Let's get going" he hopped into the car.
"here.." Hary handed him a tissue box with trembling hands.
Yue took out one tissue and tore it into four. He used the small piece to wipe off the blood, then he used the other pieces to clean his hands with sanitizer.
"You... you could have used the whole tissue."
"I don't like to waste things." Yue glanced at him. "What happened today remains a secret. As for you, I suggest you go into hiding for a month. Where will you go?"
The blond man shook his legs anxiously. "Um, I can go to s city. It's nearby,"
"No go to G city."
"But I don't know anyone there."
"I am from g city. I can arrange a living for you. Just a month and after that you are on your own."
"really? that's so sweet of you,"' he smiled dazzlingly at him.
Zou smiled softly. "Thanks for standing up for me."
"of course, any day. It is my job, you know."
"I know..." Yue mumbled, glancing out the window at the busy streets. 'I have offended the Murong family completely. What if they find a way to get back at my family for vengence. I need to do something to safeguard them.' He glanced at the young man, who was humming softly.
Hary was a fearful man, but he easily got over it.
Zou Yue took out his phone and swiftly send a message to Cai and uncle Wen asking if Hary is trustworthy.
Both of them affirmed that he was.
'Send me his history,'
Uncle Cai sent him his full resume.
Yue read through it carefully. 'Real name Hua Jung born in S city to a foreign couple, lost his family in an accident and retired from the army after a major injury.'
'Major injury? Where?' Yue glance at him up and down. The young man seemed completely healthy, except for his hobbling walks.
He continued reading. 'Lost his right leg in S*udan.'
'Oh, that explains it.' he nodded to himself.
All in all, this report only gave positives about this man. He had saved almost fifty lives when he was enlisted. He was a brave and kind person, but after his accident he did not have any way to make use of his talents, so uncle Cai took him in.
"How good is your marksman ship?"
Hary glanced at him with his bros raised. "Pretty good. 8 out of ten."
"Can you handle bows and arrows? What about swords?"
"I can use them, but why are you asking?" he glanced at him weirdly. "Do you want me to kill someone? If so, I might have to stop you there. I don't prefer killing even my greater enemy.'
Yue frowned. 'Soft hearted.' he noted it down mentally. "What about non-living things? can you shoot at them with ease?"
"Yes, but why do you ask that?" he confusedly looked at him.
Zou Yue just rolled his eyes. "Are you free this month?/"
"My schedule just cleared up thanks to you," he chuckled.
"Then I will give you a job. You have you go to G city to my family and safeguard them."
Hary glanced at him with his brows raised. "how much?"
"How much do you want?"
"I was already paid for this job. As for the next one you have issued, I will be taking ten thousand dollars,"
"Deal, but one thing. You have to personally assure me that you will not let them get hurt. if not, you know the consequences."
Hary stopped the car and gave him his full attention. "I need to know more. Who are after your family? Except for Murongs? Do you have any enemy?"
"I don't have other enemies, but in the beginning of next month there are going to be few 'things' that might try to attack my family. if my any chance I am late or never go back. You have to deal with it. You have to put your life on line can you do that?"
"Yes, sir!" Hary smirked. "That sounds like a good deal,"
Yue instructed him to drive to the hotel. On the way, he gave his family's address and gave all the instructions. The young man even wrote them down.
It was very professional of him.
Yue still had a small worry in his heart if this arrangement is going to work or not. In May he might have to kick him out. But if Hary proved to a good addition to the team, he needed to arrange accommodation and food...
Zou Yue sighed just thinking about all this. 'It's like picking up a stray puppy.'
"Hary, I trust you and I believe you will do a good job, but remember my warning clearly in your mind. Call me if you have any doubts."
"Roger sir~" the young man happily drove away.
Yue walked back to his hotel room and started to pack up. There is a slight chance the Murong might have gone to the cops, and he did not want to be arrested.
Being in a jail cell during an apocalypse is the worst. It can keep you safe for a while, but there is no way to break free.
It would be hell.
Yue placed his trusty crossbow inside his bag and swiftly. He changed out if his outfit and wore a t-shirt and jean. As for his face, he swiftly smeared it with dark makeup and placed that prosthetic scar that he used during apocalypse.
His face changed drastically into an appearance of an old man.
As for his hair, he scratched his head hard until it became a tangled nest.
He tore few parts of his shirt and his pants.
Zou Yue looked at his reflection in the mirror with a satisfied smirk.
He ran out of the room and caught a cab. Tian Ai's last whereabouts was in the outskirt town. He might be able to find out where she was if he went there.
'This is my only hope. I pray that old man didn't lie. If he did, I swear I going to cut his face up,'
