Chapter 662: Let Me Introduce You
On the other hand, Dugu Xiyuan looked like he could understand. He leisurely blew at his tea. “Young people are anxious for benefits. It’s very normal. Oh, right, did the bar inform you?”
The subordinate nodded. “Of course. Every year, this period is the most tensed. That Colin is not to be trifled with. To collect a little of his spirit coins, we have to spend a lot of effort every year.”
“That’s good. This year, we will wait for our most respected Missy to handle this matter.” Dugu Xiyuan lowered his eyes, his eyes flickering.
***
Every territory had a source of funds. Usually, there were more mines. Where there were no mines, there were at least some places that could attract other powers. However, this wasteland in the north was really not good.
The area was too large, and transportation was inconvenient. There were also no mines.
In the past, their biggest source of funds was that bar.
Behind the bar was Colin. Because of that man’s background, Dugu Xiyuan didn’t dare to go against him. Thus, every year, when it was time to pay the rent; he would hire a few Miao Family guards to create a scene.
Because of Su Huiqing, he didn’t hire any guards from the Miao Family this year.
If she wanted to take over this power, it would depend on whether Su Huiqing had the ability or not.
A newly appointed official had already set fire for Su Huiqing.
“Alright, everyone, don’t say too much. Look, our Missy has already arrived. How much money you guys want to pay depends on our Missy.” Dugu Xiyuan walked out from the crowd and pointed at Su Huiqing with a warm smile.
Seeing that Su Huiqing only had two guards behind her, the merchants couldn’t help but look at each other. Their smiles deepened.

They had long heard that the upper echelons of the Dugu Family had sent someone over. They had been feeling uneasy for a while, but they never expected it to be a young girl. Moreover, she was a young girl without any guards. There was no need to say anything about her.
The businessman sat at his seat. “Miss Su, this is our rent for this year.”
Everyone only submitted half of the previous years.
Su Huiqing glanced at those people and didn’t even frown. Her eyes were like a clear spring, and her tone was indifferent. “Half is missing.”
“How is it half gone? Miss Su, our department pays according to previous years. Don’t cheat us,” a fat middle-aged man said with a smile.
The moment he spoke, the others also stood up and said that Su Huiqing was spouting nonsense.
Dugu Xiyuan lowered his eyes and smiled. “Is Colin here?”
“According to the report, Mr. Colin is about to arrive,” his subordinate whispered.
“That’s good.” Dugu Xiyuan looked at Su Huiqing sympathetically. “This Colin is not a simple person. Not to mention the guards, he still has some ties with the Su Family now. If he doesn’t handle it well, she will still suffer in the future. Let’s go and fetch the respected Mr. Colin.”
Not only Dugu Xiyuan but the other merchants also looked at one another with understanding in their eyes.
Meanwhile, outside…
Dugu Xiyuan had already stood at the door to fetch Colin.
Colin glanced at Dugu Xiyuan and didn’t speak. He just asked the bodyguard beside him in a low voice, “You didn’t find the landing point of that fighter jet?”
“I really didn’t.” The bodyguard shook his head. “But I did see Miss Su. I just don’t know where she went.”

“Alright, let’s settle this matter before looking for it.” Colin was somewhat regretful.
Seeing him like this, Dugu Xiyuan’s expression changed, but he didn’t hear Colin’s words. He was just a little puzzled. “Mr. Colin seems to be looking for someone?”
“A big shot.” Colin didn’t wish to discuss this matter with Dugu Xiyuan and just changed the topic. “I heard that the Dugu Family sent someone over?”
“A big shot actually came. If Mr. Colin finds that person, remember to tell me.” Dugu Xiyuan smiled. Although he didn’t ask, he placed the big shot that Colin mentioned in his heart and was secretly shocked. He didn’t know who that big shot was. “This Missy wanted to take over everything the moment she came. Unfortunately, the Dugu Family didn’t give her guards. Now, all the merchants have to pay double the funds. Really… I hope Mr. Colin doesn’t blame our Missy too much. After all, she… isn’t from the mortal world.”
Upon hearing this, Colin couldn’t help but frown, but he didn’t say anything.
The two of them arrived at the main hall. Su Huiqing put down her teacup and didn’t look at them. She just rolled up her sleeves and said in an indifferent tone, “This is the last time. There’s still half left. I hope you guys will take the initiative within three minutes.”
Those merchants sneered.
Dugu Xiyuan smiled awkwardly. He didn’t expect Su Huiqing to be so brainless. He smiled bitterly at Colin. “Mr. Colin, you saw it, too, right? I have no choice either. This Missy is really stubborn. But it’s fine. I’ll handle it…”
He looked at Collin’s stunned expression and thought that he was angered by Su Huiqing.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Colin’s face was filled with surprise. He said respectfully, “Miss Su! So you are here!”
Miss Su? You?!
Dugu Xiyuan’s pupils constricted.
Only then did Colin recall Dugu Xiyuan. He smiled. “Don’t you want to know that big shot? It’s Miss Su. Come, let me introduce you.”
