âNo, Iâm calling your private number. Then Iâm definitely not looking for Father, but for you.â
Zhou Xuanâs words made the butlerâs eyes widen slightly. He had a bad feeling. However, he still maintained his basic composure and revealed a kind smile. âYoung Master, why are you looking for me? Is there anything I can help you with?â
âOf course. Iâm afraid thereâs no one else who can help me with this now except you.â
Zhou Xuanâs words seemed to know everything. âIf Iâm not wrong, the control of the Zhou familyâs team of sacrificial soldiers should be in your hands, right?â âYoung Master, what are you talking about? Why donât I understand? What sacrificial soldiers? What team? Iâm just an old man with half a foot in the coffin. You think too highly of me.â
Of course, the butler couldnât admit this, so he wanted to pretend to be stupid to escape. âIf you want money or something, 1 might be able to help you.â âUncle Li, youâve been by my fatherâs side for most of your life, no matter if itâs during difficult times or when youâre enjoying life. In a certain sense, your status in the family is probably comparable to Second Uncle and Third Uncle, right?â
Zhou Xuan told the truth without hiding anything. âYouâve seen me grow up. You should know my personality better than many people. 1 wonât say things Iâm not confident of easily. Since Iâve already asked you this, it means that I know everything.â
The butler naturally knew this, but he couldnât just admit it. After all, this was a secret of the Zhou family.
Before the butler could answer, Zhou Xuan spoke again. â1 believe you know the situation at home very well. My second and third uncles donât get along with Father, so 1 guess in order to prevent anything from happening to him, he will definitely hand over the control of the sacrificial soldiers to you.â
Zhou Xuan pressed on. âAlthough Iâm not at home for most of the year, it doesnât mean that I donât know anything.â
At this point, the butler knew very well that he could not hide it anymore, so he decided not to continue hiding it.
Because he also knew that the person the old master doted on the most was Young Master Zhou Xuan. The control of the sacrificial soldiers would sooner or later be handed over to Zhou Xuan.
âYoung Master, youâre right. Master did hand over the control of the sacrificial soldiers to me, but itâs only temporarily managed.â
The butler paused for a moment before admitting, âBut why did you suddenly ask about this? You should know that the Zhou family canât use sacrificial soldiers unless they have no choice.â
âI know that, but 1 have to save someone now. 1 canât care so much anymore. Otherwise, 1 wouldnât have taken the initiative to call you.â
Zhou Xuan didnât hide anything and directly told the truth. Because at such a critical moment, there was no point in finding too many excuses.
âYou want to save someone?â The butler was surprised.
âThatâs right. I wasnât prepared to hide it from you from the beginning. Iâm going to bring people to save Shan Yue.â
Zhou Xuanâs tone was very anxious. âAnd I might have to go overseas for a while. The other party isnât a good person. Guns and ammunition are indispensable, so itâs definitely not something these bodyguards around me can deal with. Otherwise, I wouldnât have used the sacrificial soldiers Iâve been hiding for so many years.â
âYoung Master, I know that Miss Shan Yue is your girlfriend, but sheâs not a member of the Zhou family yet. Moreover, the sacrificial soldiers are not for someoneâ¦â
Before the butler could finish speaking, Zhou Xuan immediately interrupted him.
âI understand, Uncle Li, but 1 canât let her take the risk herself. You just have to give me the authority to mobilize the sacrificial soldiers. No matter what happens in the future, Iâll bear it alone. 1 definitely wonât implicate you.â
At this moment, Zhou Xuan had already made up his mind. Nothing could change his heart to help Shan Yue. Even without the help of the sacrificial soldiers, he would go alone.
âYou know very well what kind of person I am. There are some things I will regret for the rest of my life if 1 donât do them. 1 donât want to miss Shan Yue, and 1 donât want her to be without me when sheâs in danger.â
The butler doted on Zhou Xuan to begin with, as if he was his family. After hearing his words, he was even more moved..
