The Empress Is Gigolo 510 Cutting Off The Claws

The big war would commence in two days.

Xi Wanya had started preparing intensively. All the soldiers in Jiangbei City were making final preparations, and the whole city was full of oppressive feelings because of the coming war.

Meanwhile, Ren Baqian was only in charge of the Rearguard Commandery, but he had to monitor every move in the northern region of Tianjing Basin.

Once the war started, he wouldn't be as relaxed as he was currently.

The empress was in the same position.

"Okay!" The empress nodded.

A while later, both Ren Baqian and the empress appeared in Ren Baqian's room on Earth.

As the empress returned to her room to change, Ren Baqian turned to look at the gloomy sky outside. A thought suddenly came into his mind—it seemed that another year was about to pa.s.s by again.

He looked at the date shown on his cell phone and was surprised that it was already the 31st of December, the last day of 2019. After today, it would be 2020.

The first time he went to Dayao was in the summer of 2017.

Two years on Earth had pa.s.sed by so quickly that he felt like he was getting out of sync with the time on Earth.

Besides watching the news to catch up with the current situation every time he was back on Earth, almost all of his attention was focused on the other world.

After going into a daze for a while, he was awakened from his musings by loud voices that came from outside the window.

Walking to the window and looking down, he saw a winged cavalry warrior practicing boxing below.

What was originally a lawn had become a muddy plot that had been ploughed more than 100 times and was ready for planting vegetables just by sprinkling some seeds.

Two deep depressions appeared wherever the winged cavalry warrior stepped with his feet. With every step, the mud underneath rushed out like water breaking through a liquid surface.

"Hmm?" Ren Baqian looked at a man who wasn't far away and was clumsily copying the movements of the winged cavalry warrior.

"Is that the home tutor? His name is… What's his name?" Ren Baqian just couldn't remember who this person was.

He went to the window to look again, but heard footsteps going downstairs. He turned to open the door and walked out.

"Your Majesty!"

Ren Baqian was walking downstairs when he heard voices coming from below. He mumbled as he walked, "Call her Big Boss here."

Then, he asked, "What's the name of your teacher?"

"Beansprout!"

Ren Baqian was baffled.

Was that his name?

"I saw him practicing boxing outside?" Ren Baqian asked casually.

"We ran out of wine that day and drank his wine, so Yan Yong said to teach him boxing. This boxing style is from his stronghold and not from the army. If Sir Ren thinks that this isn't appropriate…" The winged cavalry warrior scratched his head awkwardly and didn't continue.

After all, what was said couldn't be retracted.

"It has already been taught, so let it be. Just remember what can be said and what can't be said." As he spoke, Ren Baqian walked away, sat down beside the empress, and switched on the television to watch the news.

When the television was turned on, the empress immediately grabbed the remote control and changed the channel to a television series.

"Ordinary people who learn our stronghold's martial arts will not be able to replenish their blood, qi, and essence. The faster they learn, the faster they die!" the empress said coldly.

As for martial arts and the physical condition of the people on Earth, she was much more knowledgeable than these ordinary winged cavalry warriors.

"Oh?" The few of them were shocked. "Sir Ren, I will tell them to stop."

Their impression of this Beansprout wasn't bad.

"No rush." Ren Baqian held him back. He asked them what they had learned these past few days.

He was quite satisfied after hearing what they said. This home tutor mainly explained the daily news and then answered their questions.

This method was better than spoon-feeding them information. These winged cavalry warriors would at least learn a lot of general knowledge.

Later, one of them went out to call the two people outside to get them to come back.

"Your Majesty!" The winged cavalry warrior in front cupped his hands to greet the empress on arrival.

"It should be Big Boss!" Ren Baqian added.

"Go and attend to your own matters," the empress said coldly. Having so many people around was a bit of an eyesore, especially the idiot who was blocking the television.

Initially, Ding Jie didn't see Ren Baqian when entering. He saw the lady in red lying on the sofa first, which caused his heart rate to accelerate. He hadn't imagined that there was such a beautiful lady in this world who was even more beautiful than the celebrities. He couldn't even hear what the rest were saying.

"Mr. Ren." Luckily, Ding Jie sobered up quickly. After all, the empress gave off the impression of being very cold, and her majestic presence instilled fear.

"Your performance over the past few days had been pretty good," Ren Baqian praised.

"I have to justify my pay." Ding Jie gave a bashful smile. Such appreciation was an important affirmation for him.

Sometimes, praise from a big shot could make an ordinary person happy for a few days.

To him, Ren Baqian was a big shot.

"Yan Yong said that he taught you martial arts. Actually, I didn't want to interfere, but you should stop learning it." As Ren Baqian spoke, he watched Ding Jie.

Ding Jie expressed disappointment upon hearing this. After all, he was the same as these people; every man's dream was to be a hero. These words from Ren Baqian had dashed his dream.

However, he knew he was being paid a premium salary and was at ease after the disappointment had pa.s.sed.

Ren Baqian was satisfied when he saw Ding Jie's composure. All of a sudden, a thought came into his mind, and he asked. "Do you want to work for me?"

He lacked personnel who could take care of things on Earth. He didn't attach too much importance to ability because he could find all kinds of capable people.

All he need to do was to express his needs. The nation would certainly find ways to satisfy these needs for him. There were capable people, but they weren't his people.

What he required were some people who would obey him, people who had nothing to do with the nation.

This little guy in front of him was simple and could be used by him.

"Aren't I working for you now?" Ding Jie couldn't really understand what Ren Baqian was saying.

"Continue working for me in the future, including while you are in university, after you graduate, and until you die," Ren Baqian said calmly.

"Oh?" Ding Jie opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe what he heard.

"My ident.i.ty is a bit special, so if you join me, you can't resign. If you want to withdraw, you have to die. However, if you work for me, you can get whatever you want. Money, status—how much you can earn depends on your ability and how loyal you are," Ren Baqian said softly.

Ding Jie was rather muddled because Ren Baqian's words were rather farfetched.

Prior to today, he didn't think he would encounter such a scenario.

"Mr. Ren…" Ding Jie said with uncertainty. He didn't know what else to say.

"You can go to the side and consider my offer," Ren Baqian said.

Subsequently, Ding Jie really went to the side to contemplate.

Ren Baqian laughed after seeing that the little guy was being so honest.

The empress took a look at Ding Jie, but she couldn't see the value in him that Ren Baqian had seen. Instead, she continued to watch the television.

"Mr. Ren, why me?" Ding Jie ran to ask Ren Baqian after a while. He felt that he wasn't outstanding in any way. Plus, he had only come here a few times as a tutor.

Although he didn't understand the other party, he could see that the other party was very rich.

Shouldn't such a rich person be able to find anybody he wanted?

"It's because your background is clean." Ren Baqian looked at him and said, "A clean ident.i.ty is the most important to me."

Ding Jie didn't understand what Ren Baqian meant by a clean ident.i.ty and asked cautiously, "Will we do illegal things?"

"No! Don't forget my ident.i.ty. I never do illegal things." Ren Baqian thought carefully. Anyway, he was a law-abiding gentleman. If everybody was like him, the world would be peaceful.

"But someone came to see me the other day," Ding Jie whispered.

Ren Baqian was rather concerned to hear this and questioned, "Who was it? What was said?"

Next, Ding Jie told him about the incident from that day. He had been stubborn and refused to say anything. The other party didn't hara.s.s him much, but they gave him a phone number to contact them with, promised him some benefits, and also threatened him as expected.

After all, the other party was from the Ministry of State Security Department, whereas Ding Jie was just an ordinary student from a village. They were confident that Ding Jie wouldn't speak out even if he didn't agree to help them since he was just a tutor in the end. Unexpectedly, he actually turned around and betrayed them.

Ren Baqian picked up the phone to make a call to Yang Sen after hearing this.

"Your people have crossed the line, and my tolerance is limited."

Yang Sen was rather confused and asked, "What happened?"

Ren Baqian used a very cold tone to narrate the incident and finally remarked, "Don't tell me that you don't know about this matter because it was done by a part time worker."

In his transactions with the nation, he had given the country a lot, but received very little. The benefits weren't reciprocal. He didn't care about this since he had other requests.

Moreover, he considered their cooperation as his duty. Aside from w.a.n.g Zhi seeking his own death, Ren Baqian didn't cause any other trouble.

However, someone doing this kind of thing was simply challenging the level of his tolerance.

"Mr. Ren, please calm down. I'm not very clear about this situation. What do those two look like? What are their names and phone numbers?" Yang Sen's head was beading with sweat as he could sense the anger from Ren Baqian's cold tone.

He didn't want to annoy this guy.

Although Yang Sen had the backing of the nation, the other party had things coveted by the nation and had the backing of the other world.

Apart from everything else, they could simply cause havoc in Shanghai by deploying a bunch of top experts here.

Even if the nation could handle them, an unknown number of people could lose their lives and access to the knowledge of these otherworldly experts would be cut.

No one could bear the consequences of such an outcome.

After finding out from Ding Jie and telling Yang Sen, Ren Baqian said coldly, "You have to account for this matter."

He hung up the phone, sat there without saying anything, and wondered whether Yang Sen was really in the dark about this matter or if he was pretending. Ren Baqian was waiting for his explanation for this matter.

Ding Jie was crouching by the side like a quail.

The cold demeanor of the person in front of him was making him fearful.

After an hour, Yang Sen finally called back and explained, "Mr. Ren, we have found out that they weren't our people. They were instigated by other people."

"Who?" Ren Baqian asked coldly.

"Mr. Ren, at this point in time, we can't tell you who the people are who were behind this. You can figure out for yourself that there are people who have their own agendas that will do things to hurt our relationship. I will report this matter and account for it. Also, I can guarantee that I will never do such a thing."

Ren Baqian softened his expression and said, "I want to see this accounted for, want to at least see some sincerity, and want to be given the a.s.surance that this will not happen again. Otherwise, I do not want to say more. The cooperation between us will be suspended during this period."

Ren Baqian threw down the phone after he finished speaking.

Some people in this world would only repent when faced with death.

If their claws weren't cut off, other claws would spread very soon.

A while later, Ren Baqian looked at Ding Jie and said, "You did well. I can tell you that as long as you can concentrate on your work, n.o.body can do anything to you. What's your decision?"

Although Ding Jie didn't know what was said on the other side, he could figure out one or two things from Ren Baqian's words. In addition, the power that Ren Baqian radiated when speaking had inspired him.

If at any point in time Ding Jie could be like the person in front of him, it would be worth dying for.
