CHAPTER 1188: CHAPTER 795: TAKING THE CAR

"Young master, the tea you requested has arrived." Just as Wang Gui’s words fell, the girl from earlier gently approached with a pot of fragrant tea, then respectfully spoke to Wang Gui.

"Let’s have a cup of tea first. This tea is something I specially brought back from Heaven Mountain last time. Just a simple pot like this cost me nearly a million. Of course, this amount of money is just a drop in the ocean in Chairman Liu’s eyes, so I won’t be embarrassed. Chairman Liu, do taste it." Wang Gui held up a cup of tea and nodded toward Liu Hun.

Looking at Wang Gui, who had maintained a smiling face throughout, Liu Hun half-closed his eyes, then picked up a cup of tea and took a gentle sip. As the tea trickled from his tongue into his stomach, a warm sensation immediately arose in his belly.

"It nourishes the spleen and strengthens the lungs; truly a rare and exquisite tea in this world. Xiaofei, Xiao Tong, you should try it too. This tea is highly beneficial to the body." After taking a sip, Liu Hun turned to Wang Xiaofei and Guan Xiaotong beside him.

Wang Xiaofei was fine, but Guan Xiaotong was frozen on the spot after hearing what Wang Gui had said earlier, and she still hadn’t reacted.

Wang Gui’s previous words perhaps she couldn’t fully comprehend, but she understood about this pot of tea; just one pot cost over a million. Drinking just one sip amounted to tens of thousands. Such an extravagant sip was something Guan Xiaotong had never experienced before, indeed too luxurious.

"Xiao Tong, the boss is calling you." Wang Xiaofei, seeing Guan Xiaotong still in a daze, couldn’t help but speak to her.

Upon hearing this, Guan Xiaotong finally snapped back, nodding quickly and cautiously taking a sip of tea.

"Wow, this tea is so fragrant and delicious." As soon as Guan Xiaotong took a sip, her beautiful eyes brightened, and she exclaimed excitedly.

"If you like it, I can give you a little later. Though not much, it’s enough for a drink or two." Wang Gui smiled at Guan Xiaotong.

"No... there’s no need, it’s too expensive." Hearing Wang Gui’s words, Guan Xiaotong was startled and quickly refused.

"Since Mr. Wang is being so kind, Xiao Tong, you should accept it. After all, we aren’t losing out." Just as Guan Xiaotong was about to refuse, Liu Hun suddenly smiled and slowly said to her.

"Haha, that’s right. Go pack the remaining tea and Heaven Mountain water for Miss Xiao Tong." Hearing Liu Hun’s words, Wang Gui paused momentarily and then instructed Little Green beside him.

After Little Green left, Wang Gui turned to Liu Hun.

"Xiao Tong, Xiaofei, can you wait for me outside?" Sensing Wang Gui’s gaze, Liu Hun turned to Guan Xiaotong and Wang Xiaofei and said.

Hearing this, Wang Xiaofei hesitated a bit, looked at Wang Gui and then at Liu Hun, and finally nodded to Liu Hun, saying, "Boss, if you need anything, just call me; I’ll be right outside."

After speaking, Wang Xiaofei led Guan Xiaotong out of the courtyard. Wang Xiaofei knew that whatever Liu Hun and Wang Gui discussed next, they definitely didn’t want them to know, or rather, didn’t want Guan Xiaotong to know.

Since Guan Xiaotong was now his girlfriend, Wang Xiaofei naturally didn’t want Guan Xiaotong involved in this dispute.

After Wang Xiaofei and Guan Xiaotong left, Wang Gui smiled at Liu Hun and said, "You treat your subordinates so well; Chairman Liu is the first I’ve seen in years."

"Not subordinates, but brothers." Liu Hun corrected Wang Gui.

"Haha, then I hope to become your brother one day. If that happens, it’d be incredibly fortunate." Wang Gui laughed heartily.

Upon leaving Wang Dafu’s home, Liu Hun had been somewhat preoccupied. Wang Gui’s appearance was an unexpected development for Liu Hun, but whether it was a surprise or not was another matter.

Though Liu Hun learned some things from Wang Gui, and judging by Wang Gui’s demeanor, he wasn’t joking. After all, going against such a terrifying and mysterious force wasn’t just idle talk.

Liu Hun didn’t know Wang Gui’s true intention behind this, but since both were in the same boat, Liu Hun wasn’t one to ask more. Even if he managed to settle the matters in the Southeast Province, he would still need help when heading to Beijing. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to stir any waves there alone.

"Boss, is something the matter?" Wang Xiaofei asked, seeing Liu Hun’s expression clearly in the rear-view mirror, after hesitating for quite some time.

"It’s nothing. As for Xiao Tong’s matter, it’s been handled. But when will I be able to drink your wedding wine?" Liu Hun shook his head, changing the topic with a smile as he looked at Wang Xiaofei and Guan Xiaotong.

Hearing Liu Hun’s words, Guan Xiaotong in the passenger seat blushed slightly and, a bit shyly, said, "Brother Liu Hun, please don’t tease us..."

"As long as Xiao Tong is willing, I can get married anytime. However, I’ve just discussed this with Xiao Tong, and she said she just graduated, so she wants to work for two years before talking about this," Wang Xiaofei quickly explained, seeing Guan Xiaotong’s slight embarrassment.

"I initially wanted to drink to your wedding soon, but now it seems I’ll have to wait two more years. It’s a bit regrettable, really. Xiaofei has to work hard to earn money during these two years," Liu Hun said with a bit of lament.

"Boss, don’t play like this. You promised us before..." Wang Xiaofei’s face immediately turned bitter when he heard Liu Hun’s words, looking as if he was about to cry.

If it were in the past, Wang Xiaofei might not have cared, but now that he has Guan Xiaotong, it’s becoming difficult to provide the best for her with just a ten-thousand salary per month.

...

After returning from the village, in the next two days, Liu Hun was almost always cultivating in the Zuiqing Brothel in Fenglin County, going to the research institute to check on the progress whenever he had time.

Fortunately, Liu Hun had already done this research before, so the progress was extremely swift, according to what Liu Hun had instructed.

In roughly about three days, they had already completed ten cyborgs, and in that research institute, there were a total of over twenty semi-finished products. Although Liu Hun could wait a few more days until all the cyborgs were researched before heading to the Provincial City, an unexpected phone call suddenly came that day.

The caller was none other than Zhang Fan’s grandfather, Old Zhang. Liu Hun returning to Fenglin County wasn’t a secret, so Old Zhang knew he was back, and Liu Hun wasn’t surprised at all.

It was approaching noon, though it was winter, the winter in Southeast Province wasn’t cold at all. On the contrary, today was sunny and slightly warm.

Standing by the window after hanging up the phone, Liu Hun’s silhouette was seen by Huang Tingting, who was leisurely resting in bed. She opened her slightly lazy eyes and asked Liu Hun gently, "What’s up, is there something happening in the Provincial City?"

"Yes, Old Zhang just called, asking me to go to the Provincial City immediately," Liu Hun took a deep breath and then turned to Huang Tingting, speaking slowly.

"If there’s nothing important in the Provincial City, according to Old Zhang’s temper, he wouldn’t call you, especially so urgently; so what are you planning next?" Hearing Liu Hun’s words, Huang Tingting frowned slightly, with a serious expression on her delicate face.

"I know that. Now, the cyborg research is almost done. Even going to the Provincial City, with Uncle Liu’s help, there should be no problem," Liu Hun pondered, furrowing his brows.

"So when are you leaving?" Huang Tingting asked Liu Hun directly, without further inquiry.

Being used to Huang Tingting’s straightforwardness, Liu Hun said casually, "I’m leaving immediately; I’ll leave the matters in Fenglin County to you. Now Mengyao is also taken to Beijing, so I must quickly handle the things in Southeast Province, then head to Beijing."

"Okay, don’t worry. I’ll look after the affairs in Fenglin County for you, but it won’t be too long. If my family delays too long, I’m worried they will notice, and it will be difficult to handle then," Huang Tingting said calmly, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes.

No matter which woman, hearing her man mention another woman in her presence, she was bound to feel uncomfortable. But Huang Tingting knew she could never compare to Chu Mengyao, even if that woman helped Liu Hun in nothing but caused him trouble.

"Alright, I’ll be off then." Liu Hun turned and walked to the wardrobe, getting himself a set of clothes to change.

After Liu Hun got dressed, Huang Tingting slowly came down from the bed wearing pajamas, walked over to Liu Hun, and gently helped him tidy his clothes.

"Be careful, things aren’t very peaceful in the Provincial City," Huang Tingting said calmly to Liu Hun after tidying his clothes.

Hearing this, Liu Hun smiled slightly but said nothing, quietly nodding.

Huang Tingting was a wise and intelligent woman, she never said those petty things, and this was the first time Liu Hun heard such words from her.

After leaving the Zuiqing Brothel, Liu Hun saw Wang Xiaofei far away, driving and waiting for him by the roadside.

Liu Hun had nothing in his hands, directly getting into the car, then nodded to Wang Xiaofei and said, "Xiaofei, you take a cab, I’ll drive to the Provincial City myself."

"Boss, you don’t want me to go to the Provincial City?" On hearing Liu Hun’s words, Wang Xiaofei was momentarily stunned, turning stupidly to look at Liu Hun and asking.

"If you wanted to go with me before, I had no opinion, but now things are different," Liu Hun said seriously to Wang Xiaofei.
