Chapter 733: Chapter 681: An Explanation
“If it were you, how confident are you that you can defeat them?” Old Master Zhang, standing beside Zhang Zhongping, suddenly asked calmly.
“Less than thirty percent…” Zhang Zhongping replied with a wry smile.
“Go then, get this matter clear.” Old Master Zhang pondered for a mont, then nodded to Zhang Zhongping, instructing him.
“I am from the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee, my na is Zhang Zhongping. Although this matter isn’t within my jurisdiction, since such an incident has occurred, I hope Secretary Liu can thoroughly investigate it. If there’s anything you need, feel free to call at any ti.” Zhang Zhongping stepped forward and slowly spoke to Liu Dekai.
“Secretary Liu, Commissioner Zhang, this matter is of great importance. I hope the authorities above can give it the attention it deserves. You can find out so information from this young man’s mouth, and I can guarantee that he will spill everything.” Liu Hun didn’t seem at all surprised by Zhang Zhongping’s identity. While dripping fresh blood into Chu ngyao’s mouth, he turned to the two n and spoke.
However, before the two could reply, Liu Hun turned to the young man beside him and instructed, “If you can help them solve this case thoroughly, then regarding the matter of your parents back then, I, Liu Hun, can give you an explanation and also get you out of this ss.”
The youth’s murder case didn’t cause much of a stir in Shanghe Village; after about half a month, everything returned to normal, and life went on as usual.
The body that was initially found was confird not to be killed by the youth, but as the police got involved, they gradually uncovered a shocking cri syndicate. Therefore, the youth had to assist the authorities in thoroughly investigating the matter.
“Why have you suddenly rembered to co here?” Chu ngyao sat in the house, examining a map of Shanghe Village, and glanced at Liu Hun leaning on the doorway.
“Did you miss these past few days when I didn’t co around?” Liu Hun’s lips curved slightly as he looked at Chu ngyao licking her lips, teasingly asking.
Chu ngyao’s stature and appearance were top-notch, even dressed in a simple T-shirt and denim shorts today, she still looked remarkably enticing.
“ngyao, why did you… why did you use your blood to feed last ti… I just felt very thirsty at that ti…” Chu ngyao put down the map in her hand, feeling sowhat guilty and touched.
“What if I told you my blood is a Great Replenishing Pill, would you believe ?” Liu Hun had anticipated that Chu ngyao would ask about this matter. However, he hadn’t visited her recently because he had been managing the dicinal gardens and preparing the Great Yang Pills, so he hadn’t co to see ngyao.
“I don’t believe it,” Chu ngyao gave Liu Hun a glare.
“Let put it this way, that guy was afflicted with ancient poison at that ti. It was a very strange Gu, and I had to swallow it and use my own blood to save you; there was no other way,” Liu Hun sighed deeply.
In his previous life, he was an expert at handling Poisonous Insects, but after he awoke in this life, Liu Hun had no intention of touching such things. The reason was simple: dealing with Gu required raising them. While Gu could kill people, it could also save people; however, raising Gu was not an overnight task, and following that incident, Liu Hun was even less inclined to do so.
Yet, man proposes, God disposes. In this life, Liu Hun ultimately found himself on this path. The Poisonous Insect he swallowed to save Chu ngyao last ti was one he had never seen before, but he was certain of one thing—if he didn’t want to slowly die in the future, he would have to find the legendary Golden Gu. Of course, he naturally wouldn’t reveal these matters to Chu ngyao.
“Then… will you be poisoned?” Concern rose in Chu ngyao’s beautiful eyes.
“Who do I, Liu Hun, think I am? How could I be afflicted by these trivial tricks?! You think too little of .” Liu Hun said disdainfully, then turned serious, “ngyao, I ca to see you today because I want to build a factory in the village dedicated to the production of Great Yang Pills. And these past days, I have already laid out the entire process for creating them. All we need is for everyone to help produce them, so this matter…”
Before Liu Hun could finish, Chu ngyao interrupted, “It’s no use coming to about this. At most, I can only help you apply for a plot of land. If you want to build a factory, you need to go through the proper procedures first. Once the paperwork is sorted, you can set up your factory.”
“I’m well aware of that, which is why today I plan to invite you to accompany to a ball!” Liu Hun said with a beaming smile.
“What does setting up a factory have to do with going to a ball?” Chu ngyao looked perplexed, completely unable to follow Liu Hun’s train of thought.
“Let’s go, you’ll understand when we get there.” Liu Hun smiled but didn’t explain further; with no other choice, Chu ngyao changed into a new outfit and followed Liu Hun into the city.
Once in the city, Liu Hun took Chu ngyao straight to Fenglin Hotel.
Liu Hun had visited Fenglin Hotel once before, so he was quite familiar with it.
Taking the elevator up to the fifth floor, they pushed open the grand door, and a deep, low music slowly imrsed itself into their ears.
Gazing at the brightly lit hall and the various young n and won walking back and forth, Chu ngyao felt nothing; she had been to such places countless tis before. As for Liu Hun, his expression was also one of calm.
“Hun, you’re here?” Lu Chuan spotted Liu Hun and Chu ngyao from afar and quickly approached them with a smile.
“Your little sister-in-law is really pretty. If I had known being dumb for three years would bring such luck, I would’ve beco foolish too, sigh…” After checking out Chu ngyao, Lu Chuan said with a hint of envy.
Liu Hun had previously told him that he would bring a girl over, so Lu Chuan naturally assud Chu ngyao was Liu Hun’s girlfriend.
“I…” Chu ngyao opened her mouth to explain sothing to Lu Chuan but, catching sight of Liu Hun’s sowhat smug smile, she suddenly halted what she was about to say, fuming to herself, “Just let this fellow show off today, but wait until we get back to see how I’ll deal with him!”
Being mistaken for Liu Hun’s girlfriend and not having refuted it was sothing that would have been absolutely impossible in the past; even Chu ngyao herself hadn’t realized the change in her disposition.
“There’s no problem with the thing you entrusted with, is there?” Liu Hun asked Lu Chuan with a nod.
“Don’t worry, there’s no problem, but I’m a bit puzzled. Why are you gathering all these children of officials from the city?” Lu Chuan asked, looking at Liu Hun quizzically.
“I have my reasons for doing this; you’ll know soon enough,” Liu Hun said with a slight smile, and then instructed, “You go ahead with your tasks; rember to introduce Xu Shimin to later.”
Once he finished speaking, Liu Hun took Chu ngyao and sat down in a corner to enjoy the premium red wine, taking interest in the beautiful won coming and going.
“Liu Hun, what exactly do you want by bringing here today?” Chu ngyao couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer and asked Liu Hun.
“Sigh, it’s a long story. I want to start a factory, but the old man at the Trade and Industry Bureau wouldn’t give approval, saying that these health products are harmful. Moreover, this old geezer has quite a background, and I just can’t get around him, so I have to find a roundabout way—through his son,” said Liu Hun, unable to help but let out a heavy sigh.
“Then what do you plan to do? Get to know his son through this dance and then bribe him with money?” Chu ngyao asked Liu Hun with so disdain.
“If money could solve the problem, that would be easy. As far as I’m aware, although Xu Shimin is just the son of the Trade and Industry Bureau director, he has a lot of influence in this circle because of his father’s status; he isn’t exactly short on cash. But, let’s just take one step at a ti,” Liu Hun said, shaking his head and his eyes filled with curiosity.
Apart from his father’s status, Xu Shimin’s grandfather also played a key role so he wasn’t lacking money. Convincing this guy to help settle things wasn’t going to be easy, but Liu Hun was unconcerned; where there’s a will, there’s a way, and if one path doesn’t work, he’d find another. There’s always a solution.
“Beautiful miss, may I have the pleasure of this dance?” As they were speaking, a graceful young man slowly approached Chu ngyao, not sparing a glance at Liu Hun, and elegantly addressed her.
“I’m sorry, I already have a dance partner,” Chu ngyao replied politely, her brows knit in mild frustration.
“Your dance partner is him? Forgive my frankness, but such a man doesn’t deserve a beautiful and charming girl like you…” The young man cast a glance at Liu Hun, then spoke to Chu ngyao with indifference.
Hearing these words, Chu ngyao’s eyes flashed with disdain as she responded, “How I choose is my business, isn’t it, and none of your concern?”
“Hey, isn’t that Liu Hun, the big shot from our school back in the day? What kind of wind brought you here today? And aren’t you supposed to be a fool? Did you wander here by mistake and now you’re too reluctant to leave because of the free food and drink?” Following the young man’s comnt, a garishly dressed woman with a mocking tone approached, ridiculing Liu Hun.
Liu Hun glanced at the woman, his brow slightly furrowed, and after pondering for a mont, he recalled her. The woman’s na was Qin Ya, and she also was Liu Hun’s high school classmate, who had once actively pursued him but was coldly rejected by Liu Hun.
Liu Hun was quite surprised to encounter her here.
“Xiaoya, you know him?” Xu Shimin looked at Qin Ya, sowhat surprised as he asked.
“Know him? We’re old acquaintances, the famous fool from Shanghe Village. I just don’t know why he ca here today; probably saw that there was good food and drink and didn’t want to leave after coming here by mistake,” Qin Ya replied with disdain, explaining to Xu Shimin with a flattering tone.
“Hahaha, turns out he’s a fool! Xu Shimin, how about we let him stay and eat a bit more out of pity? We’d be doing a good deed,” another young man ca over, laughing heartily at Xu Shimin.
