MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 60

Amy was sitting on her chair right inside her own office, which was designed in a minimalist style.

Ever since she became John’s assistant, she realized that there were still more things she needed to learn, especially how to deal with people.

As far as she’d observed, the Shi family’s bodyguards always dealt with others using their brains and brawns. She didn’t remember a time when they relied on their facial expressions and mouths.

Amy frowned upon seeing the books on her desk. She crossed her arms over her chest and sat still.

She thought that it was best to let Lena be John’s assistant. Lena was fond of socializing. However, John asked Lena to go to the Spring City. He said that Lena was livelier. Amy really did not understand it. After all, Lena was going to be Noah’s bodyguard, not girlfriend, wasn’t she?

She didn’t know that John wanted Noah to take a fancy to Lena so that he would move on from Nina.

Deeply worried about her situation, Amy finally reached out for a book. When she was just about to turn a page, she was startled by her phone ringing.

She looked at her the caller ID and greeted respectfully, “Mr. Shi.”

“What is my schedule?” John asked on the other end of the line.

“Ah, yes, sir,” Amy replied and sat up straight. “You will be meeting with Mr. Shen at half past seven this Sunday evening in the Silverhall Nightclub.”

“I have to go abroad for three days and will leave on Sunday. Either postpone it or move the date in advance.”

“Oh, Mr. Shi, you’re going abroad for three days? But, it’s not on the schedule.” Amy was stunned. ‘Was I wrong? Did I miss placing this on the schedule?’

John explained, “I just forgot to tell you that I will go abroad for three days every half a month from now on. You can rearrange the schedule then.”

After that, he hung up and left the rest to Amy.

Amy sighed and went on to schedule an appointment with Tim’s assistant, a man who looked as fierce as Tim. The assistant was as arrogant as he looked. He argued and disagreed to change his boss’s schedule.

Because of this, the two of them argued endlessly, and neither of them wanted to give in. Despite the fierce-looking and intimidating man, Amy was calm and composed. She proposed a peaceful solution. They would fight with bare hands, and the loser would have to listen to the winner.

All of the people around Tim seemed to be violent. The assistant agreed without hesitation.

However, he underestimated Amy. She beat him so hard that his nose and his mouth bled. In the end, he was taken away by the ambulance. Regardless of how angry he was, a deal was a deal, and so he had to change the schedule. Word flew by fast. Hearing about this situation made Tim smile.

On the other hand, when Richard heard about what happened, he was less delighted than Tim and was more reproachful. “Amy, if you angered Mr. Shen, it will bring trouble to Mr. Shi, you know?”

“I know.” Amy accepted the blame. She was glad that the task John assigned to her had been completed.

Richard sighed and said sternly, “You are now Mr. Shi’s assistant, so you have to restrain yourself from doing anything that will cause more trouble. Anyway, who taught you to solve the problem by fighting? I am certain that I did not teach you to fight with others.

“Well, Mrs. Shi taught me. She said that some people deserved to be beaten. They would be obedient after being beaten up,” Amy answered truthfully.

Richard’s eyes went wide and he was rendered speechless.

Meanwhile, John was also speechless.

He was just coming out of his office when he bumped into them. He came right in time to hear what Amy said about Nina.

‘That is most certainly the style of my little girl. However, although business is like a battlefield, we can’t fight our opponents like we do in a battlefield,’ he thought.

Since the two had their backs turned, John cleared his throat to announce his presence. The two immediately turned around and lowered their heads in respect.

“Amy, don’t do it again,” John ordered calmly. “Yes, Mr. Shi. I understand.” Amy knew that John didn’t blame her for Nina’s sake, and she wanted Nina to come back even more.

John and Tim would meet on Friday night, and the place remained the same.

In the Silverhall Nightclub, which was owned by Tim, there were customers as well as workers who were dancing and singing, feasting and revelry, indulged in dissipation.

The meeting would be held for John, with of course, hidden danger at hand.

Henry wanted to come with John, but Adrian stopped him. He didn’t want Henry to go to places like a nightclub.

As for Adrian, he was the one who used to come to this kind of place. Therefore, he was the one who went there with John.

Before they went, Adrian requested to have dinner with John where he told him to drink some milk or yogurt just to protect his stomach.

People like the ones in the Silverhall Nightclub couldn’t help but drink.

John looked at the time and decided to video call Nina, but she didn’t answer.

With a frown, John typed in a message. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. I just got up, and I look like a complete mess. I don’t want you to see me,” Nina replied in a heartbeat.

John sighed and answered, “It doesn’t matter. You know that. I really want to see you.”

Nina replied, “No, please, save my face. I also want to leave a good impression on you. By the way, where are you?”

John was planning to tell her where he was going. However, when she asked him before he could say anything, he began to hesitate.

“I have a business appointment tonight.

I will be in the Silverhall Nightclub.”

“What?” Nina replied. She also sent her many question marks.

The question marks from Nina made John a little nervous for no reason. Ever since he was a child, he had never stepped into such a place. Besides, the people in Lexingport City knew about his rules, and therefore, no one dared to meet with him in such a place.

“I will explain everything to you when I get back. I won’t betray you, I promise, or I will be at your disposal. You can take a screenshot as evidence. And if I go back on my word, you can ask me to do anything.”

Nina immediately took a screenshot and sent it to him. Then, she replied, “Send me your location when you arrive.”

John replied, “Okay, will do.”

Finally, the car stopped at the roadside of the Silverhall Nightclub. As soon as John got out of the car, he sent the location to Nina as promised. Adrian had been waiting at the entrance for a while.

“It’s around seven twenty-five now. I suggest that we don’t go in time. Let’s go in later to take the edge off his spirit,” Adrian said with a smile.

“Sure,” John replied. Then, he placed his phone away and walked in unhurriedly.

As they were walking, Adrian briefed John about the affairs of the Silverhall Nightclub. Amy and Richard followed behind them.

As soon as John went inside the club, he attracted the attention of a woman with heavy make-up on the dance floor. Her body was against a strange man, dancing like a stripper. Her eyes wandered across the room and pierced on John, as if she just saw her prey and was ready to chase after him.

Feeling like someone was staring at him, John glanced around the noisy dancing floor with vigilance and met the woman’s gaze.

The woman licked her lips at him the moment they made eye contact and continued to dance with the strange man hugging her tight. John felt disgusted, but he felt a sense of familiarity with the woman. Then again, her face was painted so heavily that he couldn’t tell who she was.

Tim’s man walked towards them and led them to where they were going to talk. As soon as they disappeared from the lively hall, the woman pushed the man away and left.

“Mr. Shi, Mr. Song, Mr. Shen is waiting for you in this private room.” The man who picked up John led them to a door. He glanced at Richard and Amy then back at John. “I’m sorry, Mr. Shi, but you can only bring one person in.”

The corridor was very quiet to the point that no other sounds could be heard. If the room number of each box was not lighted on, others would think that there was no business in this club.

Tim had done a great job to keep a good sound insulation effect. For certain, there must had been so many dirty deals done in this place. Someone opened the door. Even though it was just a crack, the sound of moaning and sexual desires could be heard. John’s frown turned deeper and deeper.

‘In this case, Amy has to stay outside. She might get molested in this room,’ John thought and decided to bring Richard in.

As soon as they pushed the door open, they were greeted by the smell of cigarettes, alcohol, and even sweat. Luckily, the exhaust system here was very good and the smell was not that strong.

However, compared to the sound John initially heard, the scene was even more chaotic. There was a girl singing with a microphone in her hand. The song she was singing was quiet and gentle, almost seductive even. When they came in, the flirtations in the room stopped and all eyes turned to them by the door.

There was a man sitting in the middle of the huge sofa. He was smoking, while two women, wearing barely anything to cover themselves up, were sitting on either side of him, massaging his shoulders and inner thighs.

The man let out a couple of smoke rings in a relaxed manner, and with his big hand, he caressed one woman’s thigh. He then raised his hand and slapped her, which made the woman moan shyly and held his waist.

This man was no other than Tim. He had a stubble under his chin and a very serious face. He looked like a tiger, ready to open his bloody mouth and bite at people any time, especially those who got in his way.

“John!” Tim called his name and waved at him. Then, he pushed the woman in his arms and shouted, “Get out of here! All of you!”

Then, he pointed at the girl who was singing, and said, “You. Stay and continue singing. I will reward you.”

The two men who had just finished with their sexual activity each held a woman in their arms. “Mr. Shen asked others to leave. You don’t have to,” they told their partners.

The room was emptied out in an instant, leaving only three women in the room.

With a condescending look on his face, John turned to the man in the room and called out, “Tim.”

The tension of the room was strong now. It seemed like they were the only ones who dared to call each other’s name as if they were really close friends or the other way around.
