269: Chapter 268: Kidnapped 269: Chapter 268: Kidnapped “Hah…
hahaha…
n!
Such powerful n!
I want…
I want…” Bai Mian suddenly burst into an exaggeratedly distorted fit of laughter, her whole body curling up with excitent.
Suddenly, the sound of trickling water ca, and a large pool of water ford where Bai Mian stood.
Such a stunner, a pity she’s untouchable, Qiao Guangbi thought upon witnessing the scene, feeling an urge to unleash so youthful folly, even if just for a mont.
Yet, unfortunately, she faced a woman with whom folly was forbidden.
A few minutes later, Bai Mian slowly stood up, her legs still trembling slightly.
Qiao Guangbi spoke to her very seriously, “You and Xue Yanqing are my two trump cards.
Now that Xue Yanqing is gone, if you slip up, we don’t need outsiders to make their move; our own will devour .
So, do you understand the significance of this mission?”
Bai Mian took a deep breath, seemingly able to scent the man already.
She said to Qiao Guangbi, “Understood.”
Qiao Guangbi pulled out two photographs and, pointing to the one of Zhong Xiao, said to Bai Mian, “Those who betray must die.” Then, pointing to Liu Huyi’s photo, he continued, “He must be no ordinary man, or Xue Yanqing wouldn’t have failed.
After you kill him, you’ll discover his superpower, which I am looking forward to.
Also, I have a bet with him, and I absolutely cannot lose.”
Bai Mian took the photographs from Qiao Guangbi, crumpled Zhong Xiao’s picture into pieces, yet gingerly sniffed Liu Huyi’s photo, her body shivering with excitent as she burst into wild laughter again.
The autumn breeze was just right, and Liu Hun was in a cheerful mood.
With Xiao Yanzi’s help, he successfully took control of Wanbao Village’s mines.
Now, with Li Tianyang facing trendous pressure from all sides and hiding in Yuhua City for public relations, sealing the mine was a breeze for Liu Hun.
Although this auction cost a substantial sum, starting with the bite taken from Jinxin Mining, the profit was still significantly large.
Coupled with the dia blitz’s advertising, it was extrely profitable.
Liu Hun had initially planned to sell off these machines; he didn’t intend to pursue that path.
However, to his surprise, Hu Qingdie directly allocated a part of Hu Group’s dostic mining operations to him, taking over Jinxin Mining’s shell and starting operations.
Liu Hun had no complaints about Hu Qingdie’s direct approach—being put in charge by her people he still held a fifty percent stake.
He was happy to be a major shareholder and collect money cheerfully.
And with this, besides Kazi Costics Company, he now had another enterprise, Jinxin Mining.
Handling all Jinxin mining was Huang Zishan, who had grown to beco Hu Qingdie’s right-hand woman.
Despite her quirky and clever nature, her capability was exceptionally outstanding.
Thus, Liu Hun simply went to the County Committee to process the sealing of Wanbao Village’s mines, then returned to Taiping Town.
The last task was to have the Mayor, Ren Peiling, stamp the paperwork.
Zhong Xiao drove to the entrance of the Taiping Town Governnt building.
With Liu Hun’s three villages growing steadily, the township governnt buildings followed suit, two grand office buildings fully replacing the original modest ones—all funded by Liu Hun.
As soon as Liu Hun entered the township governnt gates, he saw a welcoming party and was sowhat confused, wondering if so higher-up official had arrived.
Instead, Ren Peiling approached him, holding a large bouquet of flowers, dressed more beautifully than the flowers themselves.
“Here!
For you!” Ren Peiling handed Liu Hun the large bunch of flowers.
Liu Hun asked in a low, concerned voice, “What are you doing?
This is the township governnt, isn’t it improper?”
“I’m the Mayor, and I will show off my love, who can say anything to !” Ren Peiling haughtily lifted her head and forced the flowers into Liu Hun’s hands.
Then, she addressed the welcoming crowd, “Everyone, please welco Mr.
Liu Hun, who will deliver an insightful speech on driving the economic developnt of Taiping Town!”
“Clap clap clap!” Applause erupted like a waterfall, and although they were low-level civil servants, they were sly as monkeys; seeing the Mayor with a radiant bouquet, they all knew what was going on and couldn’t clap hard enough.
“A speech?!
Insightful?!” Liu Hun was completely dumbfounded, having not expected Ren Peiling to co up with this.
He was capable of doing solid work, but when it ca to giving grand, righteous speeches like Li Tianyang, he really couldn’t do it.
“Just talk about anything, I’ll handle the insight!” Ren Peiling dragged him onto the stage.
Liu Hun was bewildered, as if wandering through clouds, and stepped onto the spacious podium.
Glancing down, he was relieved to see a docunt with a neatly listed outline.
What Wanbao Village was like in the past, how it was planned, the rationale behind rging three villages, and its future developntal plans.
With these points, Liu Hun knew what to say.
He smiled at the audience—facing such an event for the first ti, seeing every face earnest as if at a People’s Congress, he felt trendous pressure.
“Ahem…
Everyone present surely knows what Wanbao Village was like before.
And what about Wanbao Village now?
What’s it like?
You might just go for a walk and see—every household now has a small building, concrete roads are unobstructed, those who wanted cars, bought cars.
But what’s really behind all this still needs to be delved into…
well…” Liu Hun was in the midst of eloquently discussing the village’s past, present, and future when he suddenly felt his zipper being pulled down, and then moved to a warm and moist place.
He quickly looked down to see Ren Peiling crouched under the wide lectern, pursing her moist lips in a silent gesture before continuing to busily open her mouth.
Liu Hun now understood clearly what Ren Peiling had ant by the words she had just said to him; he was responsible for the speech, while the task of “going deep” into matters was left to her.
“Ahem…
going deep…
requires going very deep…
sss…” Liu Hun took in a cold breath, feeling overwheld by the depth; unable to face the expectant crowd, he had to continue speaking, “Only by going deep…
into the masses will we know exactly what…
what taste they are experiencing.
I think once deepened, we should understand…
what the flavor of happiness is…”
Half an hour later, the speech finally ended amidst the trembling Liu Hun and a round of excited applause from the crowd.
By that ti, Ren Peiling walked slowly out from the makeshift backstage.
If Ren Peiling was a delicate flower before, then now she was…
a delicate flower watered and blooming.
Ren Peiling licked the residue from the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue and walked up with clapping hands to replace Liu Hun to make a grand and righteous speech.
After Liu Hun stepped down, he suddenly felt as if he had forgotten sothing…
Zhong Xiao!
Realizing Zhong Xiao had disappeared, Liu Hun hurriedly looked around.
The car parked at the edge of the crowd was gone, along with Zhong Xiao.
Damn it!
Could Zhong Xiao have fallen victim to foul play?!
Liu Hun truly regretted his carelessness; he should have taken Zhong Xiao up on stage with him.
“Hey!
Little Liu!
Didn’t you just leave by car?
Why are you back so soon?
I only took the ti to pee,” Guard Li laughed as he spoke to Liu Hun.
This Guard Li was an old acquaintance.
Liu Hun quickly ca forward and grasped Guard Li, asking, “Guard Li, could you be mistaken?
I have been giving a speech on stage the entire ti, how could I have left by car?”
Guard Li touched his head in embarrassnt and then said to Liu Hun, “I was snoozing off in the guard room, but then I suddenly woke up to pee.
And while I was out, I saw you get in the car; a young man drove you away.”
Liu Hun’s body shook violently; he was stunned for a good few seconds before asking Guard Li again, “Are you sure you saw clearly?”
“I saw it clear as day!
Stop pulling my leg; your own actions and you are asking !” Guard Li felt that Liu Hun was teasing him for amusent, he frowned and said to Liu Hun, “Did that young man driving the car have a scar on his cheek?
I recognized it imdiately; it was a knife scar!
His eyes were also sharp!
Definitely not a simple person!”
It was Zhong Xiao!
From Guard Li’s description Liu Hun could determine the driver was definitely Zhong Xiao, but…
how to explain another self?
Superpower User!
The thought suddenly popped into Liu Hun’s mind.
Besides that, he couldn’t explain why while he was giving a speech on stage, another him left in a car driven by Zhong Xiao.
Liu Hun first thought of Bai Lingfei, but after a mont he felt sothing was wrong.
Although Bai Lingfei was a bit mad at him, overall, she had always been helping him.
If she wanted to harm him, the court auction case alone could have devastated him.
Then who could it be…
Qiao Guangbi!
Liu Hun suddenly rembered this person, and another matter simultaneously surfaced in his mind, making him slap his forehead in regret—the live broadcast of Jinxin Mining!
It must have been Qiao Guangbi who saw Zhong Xiao on the TV!
“Beep beep beep!
Beep beep beep!” Suddenly, a ssage notification sound ca from his phone.
Liu Hun hurriedly took out his phone to see—it was a ssage from Zhong Xiao’s phone, but the content was a simple few words: “Co to save people at the redevelopnt building in the suburban village.”
Clearly, the ssage wasn’t sent by Zhong Xiao; it must have been sent by the person who abducted him.
Without a doubt, it was a trap.
Humph!
Want to cut off my right-hand man?
I want to see what you are capable of!
Liu Hun thought to himself and after sending a ssage informing Ren Peiling of his departure, he drove to the redevelopnt building in the suburban village.
This was a piece of land targeted by developers; everyone had already moved out, leaving only the self-built hos that had not yet been demolished.
Liu Hun continuously received ssages from Zhong Xiao’s phone, guiding him to a dilapidated four-story building standing apart from the rest of the buildings.
The entire self-built building looked gloomy and decrepit, the rotten wooden door clattering in the wind, and the creaking iron gate being blown about in the wind sounded even more chilling to the ear.
