It's normal for a villain like me to subdue a corrupted female protagonist, right?

"I'm too lazy to argue with you!"

Huang Bushou took a couple of deep breaths, stopped eating the fruit, and simply sat down on the ground to sulk.

He Qinzhou shook his head and chuckled, reassuring his father with his eyes before changing the subject and asking again, "Alliance Leader, is there something you wanted to see me about?"

"That is indeed a very important matter."

While eating fruit, Huang Bushou said earnestly, "You know Big Tiger, right? They've developed a new chip and are preparing to trade with us. The higher-ups are taking this very seriously because this chip contains core technologies for future new technologies. I called you here mainly to have you in charge of ensuring the ambassador's safety in Kyoto!"

"Hmm?" He Qinzhou frowned, looking puzzled.

What does this have to do with him?

He's just a businessman!

"Don't look at me like that. No matter how bad Xiao Tianze's character is or how many bad things he has done, he is still a war god. His strength is absolutely unquestionable. When he was around, the various war zones could freely allocate manpower. But now, I have arranged for several of Xiao Xu's generals to be stationed on the front line in the southern border. There are not many capable experts left here."

Huang Bushou angrily placed the fruit platter in front of him, eating as he spoke: "You must not think this is a small matter. If the ambassador or the chip is damaged, it will cause our Dragon Country to lag behind in a certain aspect of technology by at least ten years!"

"...So that's what it is?"

He Qinzhou nodded thoughtfully.

He only wanted to protect himself and take care of Xiao Tianze, but he didn't consider the crucial role Xiao Tianze, as the God of War of the Southern Territory, played in the entire war zone of the Dragon Kingdom!

Add to that the other divine generals who were implicated...

This is a really big mess!

"This matter cannot be handled too publicly; it must be done in secret, otherwise it will cause a huge uproar in the international community..."

Huang Bushou's tone was full of helplessness, "You all know what kind of people those Americans are. They'd love for us to be in trouble, so even if they don't interfere in this deal, they'll definitely cause us a lot of trouble!"

"The responsibility of protecting the ambassador will be fully assumed by the Northern Theater Command. As for you..."

Huang Bushou first spoke to Xu Bowen, then looked at He Qinzhou and said seriously, "Qinzhou, although you only need to protect one person, your responsibility is much greater!"

Chapter 403: First Meeting with Ning Qing

"Hmm? Who am I supposed to protect?"

Hearing Huang Bushou's words, He Qinzhou asked in confusion.

"Her name is Ning Qing. She is the head of the Dragon Science and Technology Institute in charge of this technology, and also the representative of our Dragon Country in this transaction. Her task is to check the integrity of the chips sent by the big tiger!"

Huang Bushou said firmly, "You can say this: even if the deal fails and the chip is destroyed, Academician Ning absolutely cannot be harmed! Do you understand?"

"Ning Qing?"

"Yes, I need you to protect her 24/7!"

Huang Bushou solemnly instructed He Qinzhou: "The Tiger's ambassador will arrive in Kyoto by private plane early tomorrow morning, while Academician Ning will arrive in Kyoto in advance by special car tonight. You and Xiao Xu will go to pick them up separately later. Enemies who want to sabotage this deal may appear at any time, so you must be on high alert!"

He Qinzhou squinted and nodded.

Upon first hearing the name "Ning Qing," he already knew who she was...

Isn't she the scientist among Han Feng's seven fiancées?

Huang Bushou actually wanted to protect her himself, and even wanted to protect her closely 24 hours a day!

It’s simply outrageous…

"But...but I'm just an ordinary merchant. I'm powerless. If I really encounter those enemies you mentioned, Alliance Leader, I probably won't be able to defeat them, will I?"

He Qinzhou's face darkened.

In the original story, Han Feng's fiancée is the most headstrong and self-willed woman, not only cold-hearted but also extremely obsessive...

It's often said that researchers are inhuman and lack social skills; Ning Qing is the best example of this!

He genuinely didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Most importantly, when he recalled the plot, he already remembered the entire story.

In this matter, not only will Han Feng get involved, but the Temple of Heaven may also be involved.

The master of the Temple of the Gods will also appear at this time.

He Qinzhou knew that he had repeatedly thwarted the plans of the Temple of Heaven, and that if given the chance, the Temple Master would certainly do everything in his power to eliminate him.

Huang Bushou's actions have put him in a very difficult position...

"How can you take responsibility? Of course, you should do what Xiao Tianze was supposed to do. If he were still alive, protecting Ning Qing would be his responsibility. But now that you've defeated him, you're telling me you're powerless?"

Huang Bushou snorted and directly saw through his thoughts, "Don't even think about refusing. I called you here with no intention of discussing this with you! Of course, I won't let you die in vain. Here is the Bajiquan manual, take it!"

As Huang Bushou spoke, he tossed He Qinzhou an old-fashioned thread-bound book with five large characters written on the cover: "Essentials of Bajiquan".

"What deal? What Southern Territory? What are you responsible for? What happened to Xiao Tianze?"

He Lintian and his wife listened in stunned silence!

Although this old man Huang would always discuss important national affairs with He Lintian when they played chess, and even share many unverified rumors, he had never been this serious before, much less displayed such a powerful aura...

It was as if he had suddenly become a completely different person, making them feel very unfamiliar with him!

"Dad, this is a long story."

He Qinzhou looked helplessly at his father and introduced him, "Let me reintroduce you. This old man who always cheats when playing chess with you... the leader of the alliance, is the leader of our Dragon Kingdom's Dragon Alliance... uh... you know the Dragon Alliance, right?"

"The Dragon Alliance Leader???"

He Lintian was stunned, his mouth agape. But soon, he said with a hint of helplessness, "How can the Alliance Leader cheat in chess?"

Huang Bushou's entire face turned black.

He originally thought that now that his identity had been exposed, He Lintian should be afraid of him!

As a result, this guy only remembered that he cheated...

Can't you remember even a little bit of his good points?

"Qinzhou is not a coward. Since the alliance leader has said so, I will take on this task!"

He Qinzhou looked at Chen Bu'e again, chuckled, and said, "I'll accept this Bajiquan manual, but this dangerous job can't be solved with just a manual..."

"In that case, my life would be too worthless."

"It is a man's duty to die for his country, so don't ask me for anything."

Huang Bushou put on a stern face, "You'll get plenty of benefits in the future. Stop talking nonsense and go pick them up right now!"

"Remember, you must protect Academician Ning 24/7! He cannot be allowed to fall!"

"That won't do. I can't just follow her into the bathroom or shower, can I?"

He Qinzhou raised an eyebrow and sneered, shutting down Huang Bushou with a single sentence.

Unexpectedly, Huang Bushou actually thought about it seriously and said something surprising: "If the situation is critical, I will allow you to do so."

What constitutes a critical situation?

Upon hearing Huang Bushou's words, He Qinzhou immediately became interested.

"You'll have to decide for yourself."

Huang Bushou rolled his eyes speechlessly and scoffed, "I only assign tasks. If you fail, it's your responsibility. I don't care about anything else!"

You need to judge for yourself what constitutes a critical situation...

This is practically meaningless!

He Qinzhou knew when to stop; with Huang Bushou's words, he could gain far more advantage...

After chatting with his parents, who were watching him with concern, for a while, He Qinzhou arrived at the Kyoto long-distance bus station alone, just in time.

In the time it takes to smoke two cigarettes, a Cadillac armored vehicle came into his view.

After the car came to a stop, a young woman wearing a black trench coat and huge sunglasses got out of the back seat.

Although half of her face was covered by sunglasses, her alluring features could still be vaguely discerned from the exposed areas...

Just by looking at her face and demeanor, you could tell that this woman was only in her early twenties.

To become an academician in China at the age of twenty-something, it has to be said that Han Feng's fiancée is quite outstanding.

"We could try to strategize with that!"

He Qinzhou smiled and kept looking her over. When he saw Ning Qing walking towards him, he didn't take the initiative. Instead, he stood still and waited until she was only a few steps away before extending his hand to greet her: "Academician Ning?"

"You are He Qinzhou?"

Ning Qing reached out and gently grasped the first joint of He Qinzhou's index finger. Her tone was calm. "I've heard of you, but I don't know what benefits Old Huang gave you to get you involved in this mess?"

"Academician Ning, you're too kind."

Sensing the aloofness Ning Qing conveyed, He Qinzhou couldn't help but frown. But before he could speak, Ning Qing continued with a cold laugh: "Asking you to donate to charity is like asking you to take your lives. You're the kind of people who won't get up early for nothing. I despise people like you the most. You have no sense of family, country, or the world!"

Chapter 404: Ning Qing, who is not good at socializing

"Academician Ning, I think you need to apologize to me."

He Qinzhou squinted, feeling displeased.

If Huang Bushou hadn't specifically instructed him, he really wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

This woman is absolutely unreasonable!

"I apologize to you? Are you getting angry because I hit a nerve?"

Ning Qing took off her sunglasses and wiped them with the corner of her trench coat. Her peach blossom eyes, which seemed capable of stealing a man's soul, were filled with endless contempt: "Old Huang must have given you a lot of benefits. You don't need to explain that. I won't have much to do with you. I have always told Old Huang that I don't need anyone to protect me, but he just won't listen."

"This is within the Dragon Kingdom, the safest place in the world. I'm confident in that!"

"It seems Academician Ning hasn't left the lab in a long time, has he? While I agree with what you said, the current situation in China is far from as peaceful as it appears..."

He Qinzhou sneered, turned around and left, saying as he walked, "But since you don't need my protection anyway, you can do as you please."

According to the timeline of the original story, the people from the Temple of Gods should arrive tonight.

At this stage, Ning Qing is indeed very safe.

The Temple of the Gods does not belong to any country. Their motto is that as long as you pay them, they can do anything, and there is nothing they cannot do!

Assassinating officials, stealing state secrets, selling national treasures—the Temple of Heaven can do it all, as long as you can afford the price!

This time, forces from other countries secretly hired people from the Temple of the Gods to try and stop the Dragon Kingdom's chip transaction...

Huang Bushou clearly already knew about this, so he couldn't very well remind him again.

Now we can only take it one step at a time! "Hey! He Qinzhou!!"

When she saw that the other party actually left without warning, Ning Qing was the first to lose her composure.

As He Qinzhou said before, after obtaining multiple doctoral degrees and successfully entering Longyan Academy of Sciences, she has been confining herself to the laboratory to conduct research, and has become seriously out of touch with society!

Although she disliked businessmen like He Qinzhou, she knew she would be unable to get by without him...

Society is developing very rapidly!

And the most crucial thing is that although she lives in Kyoto, she is not familiar with the city.

"what?"

He Qinzhou stopped and turned his head, his face full of impatience.

This woman is so annoying!

Didn't she say before that she didn't need me to protect her? Why is she calling me back now that I've left?

"I...we'll go together."

Ning Qing quickly caught up, her pretty face a little unnatural. "I've just thought about it. I can't refuse Elder Huang's kind offer. I... I'll reluctantly go with you for now, so we can complete the transaction as soon as possible and get back quickly!"

"Heh." He Qinzhou rolled his eyes at her speechlessly, thinking to himself that women are just pretentious.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't know the way."

Ning Qing added a sentence, feeling a little guilty.

He Qinzhou immediately understood.

So this woman thinks she's a guide?

Good grief, you're in for it!

"I've already booked a room at the hotel. I'll take you there now. You can stay there for the time being during the transaction."
