Chapter 470: He Had a Good Deck of Cards but Played Badly

Even Du Yue, an outsider, could tell that Diao Zhuo hated Li Zhonghao. Only Li Zhonghao knew how he felt when he heard what Diao Zhuo said just now, but his expression did not change as if he did not hear the unpleasant words Diao Zhuo said just now. Diao Zhuo laughed coldly and did not press on. As a result, the car fell into an even stranger silence. However, this strange silence did not last long. After driving for more than half an hour, they were getting closer and closer to the crater.

...

The car was traveling at a very fast speed. There were no obstacles on the road that could stop it. The road was smooth and unobstructed. At first, they only felt a little stuffy, but as they got closer and closer to the volcano, the burning feeling became stronger and stronger. Du Yue’s body, which was wrapped in protective clothing, was already drenched. Even Diao Zhuo had beads of sweat on his forehead and back. He did not say a word, and no one knew what he was thinking. Li Zhonghao, who had not said anything for a long time, said cautiously, “I’m already drenched, and my breathing is a little restricted. Miss Xia Ju, are you alright? If you feel that your breathing is obstructed, we’ll get out of the car.”

Li Zhonghao did not directly refute Diao Zhuo’s previous words, but this kind of disregard, coupled with the current facts, was already a fierce slap to Diao Zhuo’s face. Just by looking at Diao Zhuo clenching his fists and grinding his teeth, one could tell that he was burning with anger. Li Zhonghao’s words were like the fire of a firecracker, causing Diao Zhuo to explode. Diao Zhuo turned around. Even with the protective goggles, Du Yue could easily see the anger in his eyes. “Li Zhonghao, what do you mean by getting out of the car at this time? We haven’t even reached the place and the mission hasn’t been completed, yet you want to leave? Are you trying to be a deserter?”

Li Zhonghao was not angry. He smiled and said, “The main mission of the security team is to protect Miss Xia Ju. As long as Miss Xia Ju’s safety is guaranteed, our mission will be considered complete. Getting out of the car is also for Miss Xia Ju’s sake. Where did all this talk about being a deserter come from? As for your mission, it should have nothing to do with us, right? If you’re so capable, why are you still afraid of me getting out of the car? Can’t you complete the mission yourself? You’re so amazing. What mission can’t you complete? You’re definitely not angry because you’re afraid and want to kidnap me so that our entire team can accompany you on your mission, right? Even if you really want us to help you, I can only apologize to you in advance. We have an important mission to do and really can’t spare time to look after you.”

When Li Zhonghao said this, not only was he not angry, but he had a faint smile on his face from the beginning to the end.

It did not seem like he was deliberately making things difficult for others. Instead, he was like an elder who understood Diao Zhuo’s mischief and tried his best to reason with the mischievous junior. Du Yue’s gaze unconsciously landed on Li Zhonghao. Once again, she experienced what it meant to be able to use one or two words to fight. Li Zhonghao’s casual words were enough to make Diao Zhuo gnash his teeth. Just by looking at Li Zhonghao’s appearance, anyone would think that he was just a brawny man with brute strength but no brains. Now, it seemed that the person who was truly brainless was someone else!

At this moment, a sudden shout pulled Du Yue back from her thoughts. “Li Zhonghao! Get out of the car with your men now! I designed this car. I have the say on who gets to sit in the car and who doesn’t! Aren’t you stubborn? I want to see how you’ll get back without the car, you piece of trash!”

“First of all, this car belongs to the base, not you, Young Master Diao.” Li Zhonghao smiled. “Secondly, I’m the captain of the guards of the base. I only listen to the orders of the base leaders. The leaders told us to protect Miss Xia Ju. This is our only mission this time. Wherever Miss Xia Ju is, we will be there.”

Even though she could not applaud him openly, Du Yue still gave him a thumbs up in her heart. Compared to Diao Zhuo’s aggressiveness, Li Zhonghao’s nonchalant attitude and calm tone made Diao Zhuo so angry that his veins popped out.

Looking at Diao Zhuo again, Du Yue could not see his expression clearly as he was wearing a mask. However, everyone in the car could clearly hear him clenching his fists. Du Yue looked at him from behind and felt that he was stupid. He had a good deck of cards but played badly. At this moment, Diao Zhuo suddenly turned his head and looked over.

It was not Du Yue he was looking at but Xia Ju..
