From Sidekick to Bigshot

Zhai Yunsheng went to the hotel where Jian Yubo was staying to look for him.

It was not easy for other people to find Jian Yubo. However, Zhai Yunsheng could find him rather easily.

This was because Jian Yubo had worked under Zhai Yunsheng’s uncle. Zhai Yunsheng’s uncle was also known as the Second Master of the Zhai family.

Jian Yubo was a wolf that was raised by the Jian family. However, his claws and fangs were honed by the Second Master of the Zhai family.

Zhai Yunsheng’s uncle had told Zhai Yunsheng that Jian Yubo had worked under him. It was because of his wolf-like nature that he was willing to take him under his wing.

Later, when Jian Yubo wanted to achieve something by himself, the Second Master of the Zhai family hadn’t kept him. In his words, you could raise a wolf, however, you can’t keep it in captivity.

When Zhai Yunsheng met Jian Yubo, he was sitting in front of the French window in his hotel room.

There was a Go board in front of him. However, the game on it was a stalemate.

Outside the window was the bustling city. There was an endless stream of cars and other vehicles.

However, despite that, there was a deathly silence in the room.

Jian Yubo knew that Zhai Yunsheng was here. His assistant had already informed him before that Zhai Yunsheng had arrived.

Zhai Yunsheng didn’t say anything. Instead, he sat down opposite Jian Yubo and began to collect the black pieces on the Go board.

Jian Yubo looked at Zhai Yunsheng for a moment. Then, he began to remove the white pieces off the board.

After this, the two of them began to play.

The first match went on for quite a long time. However, in the end, Jian Yubo won.

Jian Yubo was a professional in this field.

Despite this, Zhai Yunsheng was not weak either. Zhai Yunsheng had played against Jian Yubo for quite some time.

“Go and stay at the Old Jian Residence for a week,” Zhai Yunsheng said to Jian Yubo.

This was a demand and not a request.

Zhai Yunsheng’s demand was rather strange.

Jian Yubo looked at Master Sheng for a moment before he asked “Reason?”

Zhai Yunsheng’s tone was rather indifferent as he said: “There’s a little rabbit that lives next door. Even though we have a tight schedule, she still takes time out of her day to make small sugar clay figures.”

Jian Yubo knew who Zhai Yunsheng was talking about. In fact, he had already seen the small sugar clay figures that Zhai Yunsheng was talking about.

However, Jian Yubo remained silent. He did not give an immediate answer.

A smile played at the corners of Zhai Yunsheng’s lips. His tone was carefree yet evil as he said: “Give me an answer. Don’t make me do something to you that’s akin to the things that you’ve done to Jian Shuhong and He Yan.”

Zhia Yunsheng was very clear about the situation. Although Jian Yubo appeared to be cold-blooded, there were still things that he cared about.

As long as someone cared about something, that was his weakness.

Jian Yubo looked at Zhai Yunsheng again. This time, he tried to read the man in front of him. He tried to read his intentions and his motives from his words and actions.

After considering his possible decisions, Jian Yubo responded: “Okay, I promise you.”

“Very good. Move over there today then.”

Zhai Yunsheng had expected this answer from Jian Yubo. He knew that Jian Yubo would agree.

This was because his demand wasn’t much of an ask. In addition to this, Jian Yubo knew exactly what Zhai Yunsheng would do if he did not agree to his demand.

Zhai Yunsheng didn’t care about what happened after Jian Yubo moved into the Old Jian Residence.

Yu Xi was waiting at the door for Zhai Yunsheng. When Zhai Yunsheng walked out, Yu Xi asked in a small voice:

“Master Sheng, are you worried about God Ling?”

“No,” Zhai Yunsheng denied.

“If you’re not worried about her, then why did you come all the way here to look for Jian Yubo? Why did you threaten him?”

Yu Xi couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“For our team. I don’t want a teammate’s physical and mental health to be affecting our overall gameplay.”

For real? Yu Xi wondered when he heard this.

However, after he pondered about it for a bit, Zhai Yunsheng’s words made sense to him.

Jian Yubo’s matters affected God Ling. It also affected Jian Yujie.

If what happened to Jian Yubo made Jian Yujie absent-minded in the finals, that would not be advantageous to their team.
