Both of them were feeling a bit uneasy, and Jiang Guosheng couldn’t help but ask, "Old Hua, who exactly is this person? I see nothing but a young whippersnapper. Could he really have so grand background?"
With indignation, Hua Haishan said, "Whippersnapper? If he were to be called a whippersnapper, then there would be no one in this world who qualifies to be called a whippersnapper. Do you know what his na is? Xiao Zheng!"
"Xiao Zheng?"
Jiang Guosheng was startled, the na sounded vaguely familiar, and he furrowed his brows, delving into his mories. Suddenly, a flash of realization struck him, and he exclaid in shock, "Is it that Xiao Zheng?"
"If it’s not that Xiao Zheng, then which Xiao Zheng could it be?!" Hua Haishan retorted angrily.
Yuan Zhu, seeing the reactions of Jiang Guosheng and Hua Haishan, was completely confused and asked, "Who is Xiao Zheng?"
She felt a bit uneasy in her heart.
"Alas, you, you’ve stirred up a huge disaster!" Pointing at Yuan Zhu, Jiang Guosheng said with a heavy sigh, his face displaying a look of utter defeat.
Hua Haishan then coldly said, "Xiao Zheng, he’s the demonic youth who founded the Tianji Sect by himself, the underground ruler of the entire Zhonghai City. Even the top-ranked family in Zhonghai has to revere him like a deity! Now, you tell , who is Xiao Zheng?"
"What?"
A great shock ran through Yuan Zhu, her face drained of color.
She was completely stupefied.
The young man she had just driven away was none other than Xiao Zheng, the formidable personage who dominated Zhonghai, the Sect Leader of the Tianji Sect, the demonic youth Xiao Zheng!
Yuan Zhu felt her head spinning, nearly unable to stand steady.
What had she done!
For their Jiang Family, a figure like Xiao Zheng was like a Divine Dragon high above the clouds, who could destroy their entire family with a re breath.
And now,
she had driven that figure away.
Panicked, Yuan Zhu lost all her previous assertiveness, resembling a frail girl, before she suddenly looked up at Hua Haishan as if clutching at a lifeline,
and fell to her knees, crying out, "Uncle Hua, you must save our Jiang Family."
"Yes, Old Hua, since you were able to bring Mr. Xiao here, surely you can speak to him. I implore you, if he has any dissatisfaction with our Jiang Family, just a word from him would be the end of us." Jiang Guosheng also panicked.
Hua Haishan sighed deeply, "Had I known this would happen, what was the point of the original decision? I can’t guarantee that I can persuade him to return, but from what I see, this man isn’t the petty type. If we speak kindly and show our stance, perhaps there is still a chance."
"Good, good, Old Hua, whatever you ask us to do, we’ll do it," Jiang Guosheng said, completely at his wits’ end, also treating Hua Haishan as his lifeline.
Hua Haishan let out a quiet sigh. Had it been anyone else, he would have left imdiately!
After all, Xiao Zheng was a guest he had brought. By turning Xiao Zheng away, they were essentially showing him disrespect, too.
That was sothing no one could tolerate.
But he had no choice, considering this person was Old Jiang. After all, they had been good friends for many years, and he had to look after him in any case. At heart, Hua Haishan was soone who greatly valued friendship.
"I never imagined, a perfectly fine situation could degenerate to this extent just by going out to make a phone call," Hua Haishan shook his head and then asked, "Mr. Xiao couldn’t have left long ago, right?"
"Yes, he left just before you ca in," Jiang Guosheng replied hastily.
"Then there’s still a chance. Mr. Xiao ca here in my car. If he left alone on foot, we definitely still have the hope of catching up to him," Hua Haishan analyzed calmly, "Surely you have CCTV here, right? Command soone to look for Mr. Xiao’s whereabouts on the footage, and then we’ll pursue him."
"Old Hua, you truly are a great friend of many years. I really appreciate your help with this issue! I’ll order soone to look into it right away," said Jiang Guosheng, feeling slightly more reassured.
Yuan Zhu trembled on the side, the woman now completely losing her own judgnt, having been thoroughly frightened.
Jiang Guosheng pressed a button inside the room, and shortly after, a butler-looking person entered, bowed slightly, and said, "Master, what can I do for you?"
Jiang Guosheng ordered, "Tell the family mbers to check the surveillance footage. Look for a young man in a gray tracksuit around this community. Rember, it has to be fast, the faster the better!
No matter the cost, spare no expense! We need to find him as quickly as possible!"
Seeing Jiang Guosheng like this, the butler turned serious, quickly replied, "Yes," and then hurried off to begin the search.
The three of them, Jiang Guosheng, Hua Haishan, and Yuan Zhu, waited in that room. None of them spoke a word, the atmosphere was extrely tense.
Occasionally, Xiao Yun, who was sleeping on the bed, would cough a couple of tis, but now all three were distressed and disconcerted, paying her no mind.
Before long,
the butler ran in, joyfully announcing, "Found him, found him! The man in the gray tracksuit is by the Lotus Heart Pond in the community park. But, there’s another person with the young man."
"Uh, who is it?"
Jiang Guosheng inquired.
He was a bit surprised; Xiao Zheng shouldn’t know anyone in this community, should he? So why would he stop at the Lotus Heart Pond?
"It’s a foreigner, tall and big-looking, whom I don’t recognize. But this foreigner is showing a great deal of respect towards the young man, almost ready to kneel," said the butler.
"Alright, regardless, let’s hurry over there. It’s urgent. If Mr. Xiao leaves, we’re in trouble," commanded Hua Haishan.
Jiang Guosheng and Yuan Zhu nodded, and they hurriedly walked outside, moving at their fastest pace to the Lotus Heart Pond in the community park,
and sure enough, they saw Xiao Zheng.
Standing beside him was a foreigner with a big beard.
Upon seeing the foreigner, Yuan Zhu exclaid in surprise, "Dr. Smith?"
"Dr. Smith, who is he?" both Hua Haishan and Jiang Guosheng asked.
Curious as to why Dr. Smith would be with Xiao Zheng.
"He... he’s the foreign doctor I invited over to work at a top foreign hospital," said Yuan Zhu, also sowhat perplexed, "I arranged to et him today."
"Let’s go over and see."
Hua Haishan said quickly.
There was no ti to lose; a little later and Xiao Zheng might have been gone, beyond their reach to find.
"Okay."
Jiang Guosheng nodded.
They walked toward Xiao Zheng and Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith, wearing an extrely respectful expression, was talking to Xiao Zheng. Suddenly noticing Yuan Zhu, he smiled and said, "Hey, Yuan, what a coincidence to run into you here."
