The Feng Shui Treasure Appraiser

71: Chapter 71 The Target of Public CriticismHan Jingyang was full of question marks.

”Why are you saying thank you?”

”And fulfilling a promise?”

”What is this all about?”

”Wait, fulfilling a promise?”

”Did something happen to He Dingkun or the brothers He Zhifei and He Zhiqiang?”

It seemed that crazy woman had misunderstood something, thinking it was his doing.

No, wait, it actually was his doing.

It just wasn’t right now, but the night before the day before yesterday.

The destructive power created by the True Martial Emperor was far more than just a big fire and He Dingkun’s coma.

But anything that could make Shi Xiaoya directly fulfill her promise was definitely not a small matter.

Could it be...

Thinking of various possibilities, Han Jingyang asked as if casually: ”Has something gone wrong with Dingshen Group?”

”Yes,” Shi Xiaoya said, suppressing her excitement: ”This fire has attracted the high attention of the authorities. They sent an investigation team to look into it. The original intention was to investigate fire safety issues, but as a result, they checked the accounts along the way and discovered tax-related problems. It’s very serious, but that’s not the key point. The biggest problem with Dingshen Group is hidden behind the tax issues. As long as it’s dug up, Dingshen Group will definitely die, and He Dingkun and his son and daughter will all have to go to jail.”

”Dark history?”

”Yes, a lot of it, and it’s fatal. In this world, the only thing to fear is someone being serious. As long as they investigate seriously, even the oldest dark history can be unearthed. Besides, He Dingkun has so many enemies,” Shi Xiaoya said excitedly: ”When He Dingkun was alive, everyone had scruples. Now that He Dingkun is in a coma and Dingshen Group is being watched by the authorities, when else should they come out for revenge if not now?”

”Are you sure you can destroy Dingshen Group?”

”Absolutely and certainly,” Shi Xiaoya said through gritted teeth, her voice fierce: ”I haven’t been idle all these years either. I’ve collected a lot of evidence, enough to make sure Dingshen Group can never recover.”

Han Jingyang gave an ”hmm”: ”Be careful yourself. A centipede dies but doesn’t stiffen. Don’t get bitten back.”

Shi Xiaoya thought for a moment: ”It really does need attention. Xue Xinming is a ruthless character. How about this, Boss, gift me a dharma instrument that can protect me?”

”What kind do you want?”

”I don’t know either, but you definitely have one, right? I’ve studied all the information He Dingkun investigated regarding you. You definitely have something like that amulet of He Dingkun’s for protection.”

”You certainly aren’t shy. I haven’t even agreed to take you in yet.”

”Boss, I’ve said what I’ve said, and I will definitely fulfill it. Whether you agree or not isn’t important; I will demand it of myself as an employee. So, Boss, if you don’t want me to die an unexplained death in this turmoil, you understand...”

”Are you threatening me?”

”Yes, Boss. You are a good person. Even if I weren’t your employee, you wouldn’t want to see me in danger, right? Besides, can you really bear to give up an employee as all-around capable as me?” Shi Xiaoya said confidently: ”Besides being able to fight, drive, and take care of people, I am also very good at handling business and other related matters. I’m a qualified business assistant. In addition...”

Shi Xiaoya lowered her voice here: ”I am He Dingkun’s confidant. I’ve been by his side since I was fifteen, and the connections and knowledge I’ve accumulated are quite considerable.”

After finishing, she countered: ”Boss, can you really bear to turn away such a talent?”

Han Jingyang sighed: ”I’m just a Feng Shui Master, I don’t need such high-end talent.”

”Then treat me as a bodyguard. I can do the things that sword-wielding woman can do too.”

”I already have her.”

”I can take shifts with her. She can’t possibly follow you around twenty-four hours a day, can she?”

These words...

They were very tempting.

This woman was indeed a talent. Her qualities in all aspects were impeccable, especially as a bodyguard, where she was even more professional than Liu Jing.

But there were also many dangerous factors.

After all, she was He Dingkun’s confidant. Once He Dingkun died and Dingshen Group fell, she would become the target of public criticism. Even if she revealed her identity, it might not be useful, because among adults, there are not only grievances and grudges but also conflicts of interest.

He Dingkun had fallen into a coma without warning, leaving no words behind. The whereabouts of He Dingkun’s inheritance and hidden assets would become the things that stirred people’s hearts the most.

Although Shi Xiaoya, this confidant, had no right of inheritance, those unspeakable assets of He Dingkun would very likely fall into her hands.

Regardless of the facts, the outside world would definitely think so.

At that time, there would inevitably be another storm of blood around this wealth.

So, is this the main reason why this crazy woman took the initiative to defect?

She was using him as a shield.

Damn it!

This treacherous crazy woman!

Han Jingyang cursed inwardly, realizing it only after the fact.

However, he had to admit that this woman was indeed more suitable to be his assistant than Liu Jing.

After all, in the future, he would inevitably have to deal with the various demons and monsters in the underworld. If he really had a ruthless character like Shi Xiaoya to help him, things would be much easier to handle.

How about...

Take this woman in?

Han Jingyang weighed it for a long time in his heart and said to Shi Xiaoya on the other end of the phone: ”Come to the shop. Let’s talk in person.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaoya said happily: ”Alright, Boss. Give me twenty-five minutes.”

...

Shi Xiaoya was as good as her word.

If she said twenty-five minutes, it was twenty-five minutes.

As soon as she entered the door, she bowed and saluted: ”Hello, Boss. Employee Shi Xiaoya reporting for duty. Please arrange my tasks.”

Han Jingyang looked Shi Xiaoya up and down for a moment and pointed to the seat opposite him: ”Sit.”

Shi Xiaoya, dressed in a standard professional suit, sat down in a standard posture: ”Hello, Boss.”

”Alright, stop putting on an act,” Han Jingyang waved his hand: ”Dingshen Group is falling. How much benefit can you fish out of it?”

Shi Xiaoya blinked: ”Boss, do you want a share of the pie too?”

Han Jingyang glanced at Shi Xiaoya: ”I’m not interested in the flesh and blood of Dingshen Group, but the more you take, the more trouble you’ll bring with you. I have to weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to take you in.”

Shi Xiaoya smiled faintly: ”Boss, my little bit of benefit is not worth mentioning. After all, I’m just a personal assistant. Even if it passes through my hands, it won’t be my turn to divide it. But this position is very sensitive, so many people will target me, including even the authorities. So, Boss, you have to protect me well.”

”In other words, the risk is very high.”

”Yes,” Shi Xiaoya said candidly: ”The returns are also high. Boss, as long as you can help me withstand this wave, you will gain a devoted me. I will not marry, I will not date, and I will focus on serving you for twenty years. I can do anything for you, including killing and... having children.”

Speaking of this, there was a hint of charming shyness in Shi Xiaoya’s expression, and a rosy flush appeared on her face just right.

Very tempting.

Shi Xiaoya was a model by trade, but her figure had a bit more fullness than other models; she was more like a normal person, with plenty of femininity.

Her face went without saying—exquisite and handsome.

The just-right light makeup combined with the just-right shyness made her a man-killer.

Han Jingyang’s heartbeat accelerated slightly.

Who the hell could resist this?

What is temptation?

This is it.

Isn’t this a thousand times more brilliant than those flirtatious sluts who expose their chests and breasts?

Testing a man with this—which man could withstand such a test?
