After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 1228: Chapter 1232: Leng Zimo’s Other Side

Luo Xiaoqian nodded, then smiled and extended a hand to Ah Jiu, ”Hello.”

Ah Jiu lightly shook her hand and then withdrew his, ”Before dark, all surveillance and security systems will be fully upgraded. The twelve of them will be split into two groups, providing 24-hour protection for Madam and the young master.”

Leng Zimo nodded lightly, ”What about the car?!”

”I’ve already arranged for someone to upgrade the car, it should be ready by the time the young master goes to school on Monday.” Ah Jiu glanced at Luo Xiaoqian, slightly hesitant.

Leng Zimo noticed his hesitation, ”Speak!”

Ah Jiu nodded lightly, ”Should I bring in more people from Southeast Asia?!”

”Not for now.” Leng Zimo raised his chin slightly, ”Go about your business.”

”Yes!” Ah Jiu agreed, nodded at Luo Xiaoqian, and then walked away to start assigning tasks to everyone.

”Zimo!” Luo Xiaoqian held onto Leng Zimo’s arm, ”Who exactly are these people?”

Their demeanor, the way they treated Leng Zimo, and the tone of Ah Jiu’s speech all felt a bit strange.

”They... are all my people!” Leng Zimo turned around, comforting as he held her shoulder, ”Don’t worry. Sit over there, and I’ll explain it to you slowly.”

The two of them walked to the umbrella by the pool outside the door and sat down. A slightly older woman brought over two drinks, placing them in front of them.

”Where should I start?!” Leng Zimo passed a glass of juice to Luo Xiaoqian, adjusted her straw, ”Over a decade ago, when I was filming in Thailand, I met Ah Jiu. He was badly injured, and I saved him. Later, I found out he was with the gang. I then funded him to reclaim his territory. As you know, my identity isn’t suitable for these things, so these past years, he’s been managing the gang and some businesses for me.”

At this point, Leng Zimo looked nervously at Luo Xiaoqian, stood up, walked to her side, squatted down, and took her hand, ”Wife, I... didn’t mean to hide it from you. I was just afraid that once you knew, you’d be scared away...”

This was the first time Leng Zimo had mentioned these things to anyone.

Aside from being a former movie emperor and the president of Emperor View, he had never spoken of this shadowy side of himself to anyone before.

Outsiders knew him as the ”Emperor Leng,” recognized his prowess, naturally assuming he relied on his father’s strength and years of hard work. No one knew that Leng Zisu was not just a dazzling entertainment emperor, but also the ruler of the underworld, where he also held the power over life and death.

He waved his hand to stir the winds, overturned his hands to bring the rain, never relying on anyone else, always relying on himself.

Because of his father’s identity and family background, Leng Zimo had always deliberately concealed these matters, even Leng Lin and Leng Zirui were unaware of these aspects of him. Ah Jiu also always kept a low profile intentionally.

This time, forced by Tang Ming and Seo Fei, he brought his forces from the shadows into the open, to protect the two people he loved and cared about the most, he could no longer care about anything else.

”Big Fool!” Luo Xiaoqian hugged him with open arms, ”Why didn’t you tell me these things earlier?!”

If she had known he had this capability five years ago, maybe she wouldn’t have left him!

”Wife!” Leng Zimo took a deep breath, holding her tightly, ”I’m sorry!”
