Chapter 943: Shuang Gong as Bodyguard, a Room Shared

Seeing Shuang Gong follow him, Qin Xiao was somewhat surprised.

“Does Elder Shuang Gong have business with me?”

Qin Xiao asked casually.

“Are you still holding a grudge about that hundred billion you had to compensate back then?”

Shuang Gong had no choice but to speak openly.
