Su Rou got a bit excited. "I'm going to ask Yunyun," she said with a beaming smile. Hugging her tablet computer, she rushed into the room and began chatting secretly with her best friend.
"Don't run..." Su Yuze's warning trailed off as Su Rou had already darted away.
He shook his head slightly and sighed. She really had no sense of being a pregnant woman. Why was she running? He'd definitely have to discipline her later.
Watching the boring romance TV show on the screen, Su Yuze lost interest. He might as well go to bed after a shower. Just as he stood up, his phone rang. It had truly been a busy night.
The caller ID showed "You Feng". Su Yuze frowned slightly. What did You Feng want with him?
"Hello?"
"Yu Shao, there's something," You Feng said.
"What?"
"Du Long now wants to adopt you as his godson and train you to be the next mafia godfather," You Feng said in a hurry.
Godson? The next godfather? "Humph, does he think he can just adopt me?" Su Yuze sneered. Had anyone asked for his opinion? Du Long was being too arrogant. When had he ever said he wanted to be a godfather?
"That's what I told him too," You Feng said. "He might come to you soon."
"..." Su Yuze was silent for a while. "Let him come. I've been meaning to find him too."
It seemed the battle between the two tigers wasn't over yet. "Well, be careful," You Feng said.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yuze walked into the bedroom. Su Rou was chatting with Xiao Yun and looked very happy. He grabbed his bathrobe and headed into the bathroom.
Was Du Long coming to find him? Well, let him come!
...
The Next Day
Su Yuze was working in his office at Shengshi when the phone on his desk rang. "Hello, Mr. President..." It was the receptionist, but her voice sounded trembling.
"What's wrong?" Su Yuze asked in a deep voice.
"Well... someone's here to see you, but I can't understand what he's saying. It sounds like Italian," the receptionist said, looking at the three men in front of her. The two burly bodyguards in black suits with sunglasses behind the man looked terrifying. "They seem really fierce."
"I see. Let them come up," Su Yuze said.
"Okay." So they really were the president's guests. But they were so... scary!
Soon, there was a knock on the office door. "Come in."
In walked Du Long's imposing figure. His arm was still a bit inconvenient, but he naturally didn't want to show this weakness in public.
"Su Yuze, long time no see," Du Long said with a smile.
"You've been avoiding me," Su Yuze said calmly.
Du Long raised his eyebrows slightly. "The word 'avoid' isn't quite appropriate."
"Are you planning to have a rematch with me after you've fully recovered?" Su Yuze said sarcastically. "Du Long's words aren't worth much trust."
Du Long didn't seem to mind. "Forget it. Let's talk."
"What do you want to talk about?"
Du Long put down his pen and looked at Su Yuze. The latter was sitting leisurely on the sofa. "Su Yuze, to be honest, I think highly of you. Would you like to be my godson?"
"No," Su Yuze said immediately. He'd already heard from You Feng, so he didn't hesitate.
"So straightforward?" Du Long stroked his chin. "Do you know that the position of godfather can make you highly respected and give you power and influence. Are you really not interested?"
"Not interested," Su Yuze refused again. Everyone had their own aspirations. This position wasn't something everyone wanted, and he definitely didn't.
"Are you worried that I'll go back on my word?" Du Long asked. "I'm serious this time. If I lie to you again, may I be struck by lightning!" Du Long said earnestly. He really meant it this time.
Su Yuze still said, "How many times do I have to tell you? I don't want it."
Du Long's expression became a bit solemn. "Su Yuze, you have concerns, don't you?" It must be so. There must be something holding Su Yuze back, just like his elder brother.
Su Yuze looked at Du Long. "It's none of your business."
Suddenly, Du Long sprang up from the sofa. "I knew it. As a mafia member, you shouldn't have any attachments. It will only harm you!" Once you had attachments, you'd have weaknesses, and others could take advantage of them.
Su Yuze's expression turned serious. "Du Long, there's no need for this. Don't try to persuade me. I've said I'm not interested, and I mean it."
"You..."
"When you came to attack me, I clearly stated that I wasn't interested in your godfather position at all. You're just too suspicious," Su Yuze said seriously. "Du Long, I can tell you again solemnly. I don't want your position."
Du Long narrowed his eyes. "But I've taken a fancy to you, and I want you to be my godson."
Su Yuze's expression showed impatience. Was Du Long being too overconfident? He suddenly took out a pistol from his drawer. "If you want a fight, I'm happy to oblige."
Du Long looked at the pistol pointed at him and laughed. "If you shoot, the mafia won't let you go. They all know I'm here."
"Well then, do you want a rematch? This time, I'll definitely make you keep your promise," Su Yuze said coldly.
Du Long snapped his fingers, and two bodyguards in black suits rushed in, each pointing a pistol at Su Yuze.
"Su Yuze, I'll come back. But think carefully about what I said," Du Long said as he walked behind his bodyguards and left the office under their protection.
Only after they left did Su Yuze frown and put the pistol back in the drawer. "Damn it!" What was Du Long's thought process? Who cared about that godfather position?
As for Du Long, he let out a soft sigh. It seemed the first conversation had failed!
"Boss, why don't we just kill Su Yuze?" the bodyguard following him asked in confusion.
"Don't you think it's better to make Su Yuze my puppet for life rather than just killing him?" Du Long said with a sinister smile.
"This..." But puppets could betray too, right? But since it was the boss's order, they'd follow it.
"Also, go and investigate Su Yuze. I want to know what's holding him back!" The reason Su Yuze disagreed must be because he had something on his mind. Otherwise, Du Long wouldn't believe he wasn't tempted.
"Yes!" the bodyguard in black replied.
No matter what, they must subdue him!
