At this moment, a fierce-looking burly man with a wide nose came in, his fists were rough and calloused and he was walking with a magnificent stride. At first glance, one can tell that he was a martial artist. It was Li Ziyang’s number one bodyguard, Hei Hu.
“Hei Hu, sit wherever you want,” Li Ziyang said aloud without raising his head, keeping his eyes on the Lincoln limousine that just arrived downstairs.
Hei Hu nodded and looked down with contempt. “Young Master Li, it's merely a car worth about 20 million. If you really like it, just get your people to buy it.”
Although cars worth 20 million could easily attract the attention of ordinary folks, they were nothing but large toys in the eyes of Li Ziyang and these other rich giants; even Hei Hu could afford this car easily.
Li Ziyang shook his head, squinting his eyes as he said in a deep voice, “Hei Hu, you only look at the surface level of things. Take a closer look at this car, what is the difference between this car from others?”
Hei Hu frowned as he looked closely this time, and his expression sobered instantly. “A military car plate? This is pretty interesting.” He was deep in thought, but his tone was still full of arrogance as he continued, “But Young Master Li, our Li family has connections all over Jiangling. Even the officer with real power in the military theater is an honored guest of Mr. Li’s. The Lincoln car would probably mean that he was nothing beyond the rank of a field officer, nothing special.”
“It’s not such a simple matter, Hei Hu. Look at the patterns adorned on the door, did you see the dragon patterns?” Li Ziyang said as he shook his head and pointed at the patterns on the Lincoln limousine; there was a dragon pattern that was not normally visible if one didn’t look hard enough.
“I’ve seen a lot of military vehicles in the past before, but this is the first time I’ve seen one with the pattern of a dragon head,” Li Ziyang said as his eyes were filled with fear. “I’ve heard from my father that the dragon head pattern is a symbol of Donghua’s glory. If you are not someone of a high rank, you’re not allowed to use it without permission, as that would be a crime punishable by death. Even the mayor of Jiangling and the head of Jiangling’s military theater were not qualified to use the pattern. It was said that ten years ago when the number one commander under Lord Chu came to visit Jiangling, he was riding in a similar luxury car with dragon head patterns on it!”
Hei Hu suddenly gulped down some air, his heart trembling; what did it signify to be a great commander under Lord Chu, just what kind of distinguished identity was this?
