Chapter 1313 - 1279: Have You Offended Someone Recently?
Yuehai Group is one of the top real estate developers in Binhai City.
As the actual controlling shareholder of Yuehai Group, Chen Zhengui basically holds huge sway in Binhai City, no matter in the underworld or the official circles.
Within this patch of land that is Binhai City, if you had to say who Chen Zhengui is truly afraid of, it’s probably only that mysterious old man, He Hai.
Although everyone says that He Hai comes from some hidden Ancient Martial World.
But in reality, Chen Zhengui still doesn’t feel that this man, whom everyone in Binhai City respectfully calls Old He, is as simple as he appears on the surface.
He Hai is also one of the very few people in Binhai City that Chen Zhengui can treat with real candor.
Otherwise—
Given how much he dotes on his daughter, there’s no way he would agree to let a stranger ride on his exclusive private jet.
In fact, when He Hai first提出 this request, Chen Zhengui had actually hesitated and wanted to refuse.
But very quickly, Chen Zhengui realized something.
The problem was: this man named Hua Feng actually managed to make He Hai use an honorific for him?!
And in every word and line coming from He Hai, there was nothing but respect, even awe, toward this person.
And someone who could make even He Hai treat him like that naturally made Chen Zhengui very curious about who he really was.
Although Chen Zhengui had asked He Hai this question over the phone.
But He Hai only said:
"He’s someone you absolutely cannot afford to offend."
"You’re allowed not to like him, but you absolutely must not provoke him."
"Otherwise, even I won’t be able to protect you."
"Oh no!"
"No matter who it is, they wouldn’t be able to protect you."
This counted as He Hai’s warning to Chen Zhengui.
Because of Lin Yi’s request, He Hai couldn’t reveal Lin Yi’s true identity.
But just hearing these words from his mouth was enough to scare Chen Zhengui so much that his whole body went cold.
Anyone who didn’t know better would probably assume this guy was actually the head of a nation.
As a Merchant, and a highly successful one with an extremely sharp nose for opportunity—
He immediately picked up on a chance hidden in He Hai’s words, one that might help him break out of his current predicament, or even advance another step in the business world.
Faced with this big shot that He Hai spoke of, all Chen Zhengui saw was a double-edged sword.
If he wielded this sword well, then it would be a peerless divine weapon that could let him stride through the martial world undefeated.
If he used it poorly, it might turn into a vicious blade that cuts himself, dragging him into eternal damnation.
And as a Merchant, the thing Chen Zhengui has never lacked is the Spirit of adventure; everyone knows fortune is found in danger.
So in the end, he still accepted this "hot potato" that He Hai handed him.
...
Standing in front of the boarding gate, Chen Zhengui could already see from afar a "fully armed" man walking towards them.
Judging from experience, Chen Zhengui guessed that this was probably the target of this trip.
Hua Feng?
Chen Zhengui toyed with the name in his mind.
From the moment he took on this matter until now, he still hadn’t managed to match it to any figure that fit the conditions in his mind.
When he saw the man getting off the shuttle bus, just as Chen Zhengui was about to step forward and speak, he realized his daughter’s bestie had beat him to it:
"Excuse me, do we know each other?"
Seeing this, Chen Zhengui couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Given what he knew about this young lady, she didn’t strike him as someone who would lose composure like this.
Sure enough, the next moment—
His daughter, Chen Meishi, hurried over and grabbed her bestie, exclaiming in disbelief:
"Wanqing, are you crazy?!"
"You don’t even know who he is, what are you doing?"
Chen Meishi quickly tugged her top-celebrity bestie over to stand beside her father.
But at this moment, Mu Wanqing was still staring at those eyes hidden behind the sunglasses, her gaze filled with suspicious uncertainty:
"Are you him?"
Right now, both Chen Zhengui and Chen Meishi were utterly baffled by Mu Wanqing’s behavior.
Probably only Lin Yi knew what kind of "crazy talk" this woman was spouting.
In truth, Lin Yi didn’t know either.
He didn’t know why he would run into this woman here;
Nor did he know—
He’d gone to all this trouble to disguise himself, so how had she managed to suspect him?
Not to mention, you could clearly see Mu Wanqing herself wasn’t entirely sure about her guess.
For Lin Yi, who didn’t want extra complications, that was the best news possible.
If he had any other choice, Lin Yi would have loved to turn around and leave on the spot.
For some reason—
If he could help it, Lin Yi really didn’t want to have too many entanglements with this woman.
Just then, Chen Zhengui suddenly chuckled:
"Young Master Hua Feng, you’ve finally arrived."
Then he began to introduce himself:
"My name is Chen Zhengui. Judging from your age, I’m probably quite a bit older than you."
"You can call me Uncle Chen."
Hearing this, Lin Yi only nodded to show he was fine with it, but didn’t open his mouth.
Because of that, Mu Wanqing was still glaring at him from the side.
Lin Yi was worried that once he spoke, she’d recognize him in an instant.
On this trip to Tokyo, all Lin Yi wanted was a quiet journey, without any extra drama.
But clearly, that possibility hadn’t occurred to Chen Zhengui.
Seeing that Lin Yi gave no response at all, a faint trace of dissatisfaction flashed through his eyes.
However, his face quickly returned to wearing a "kind" smile as he said:
"What we call each other is just a code name anyway. Young Master Hua Feng, just address me however you feel comfortable, it’s fine."
Then, to ease the awkwardness, Chen Zhengui started introducing his wife and daughter, Chen Meishi, to Lin Yi.
When he got to Mu Wanqing, an expression of "you all know who she is" appeared on his face as he said:
"I shouldn’t need to introduce this one, right?"
"I’m sure you young people can recognize her at a glance."
"She’s my daughter’s friend, and also a household-name top star in Hua Country, Miss Mu Wanqing."
Only after Chen Zhengui finished his introductions did Lin Yi finally force a sound out of his throat:
"Mm."
And it was as if Chen Zhengui instantly understood what Lin Yi meant, hurrying to say:
"Now that everyone’s here, let’s get ready to depart."
At this point, Chen Meishi dragged the still-confused Mu Wanqing and quickly boarded the plane.
Not until Mu Wanqing had stepped into the cabin did the trailing Lin Yi finally speak:
"Uncle Chen, don’t take it the wrong way."
"Just now there was a bit of a reason, so it wasn’t convenient for me to speak."
Once Lin Yi said that, Chen Zhengui immediately looked toward the cabin with a knowing expression and a meaningful smile:
"So Young Master Hua Feng and Miss Mu Wanqing really do know each other."
Lin Yi didn’t think much of it and replied:
"We’ve just seen each other a few times."
Chen Zhengui nodded in understanding:
"That’s between you young folks; at our age we’re not suited to pry into that."
"In a bit I’ll arrange a separate compartment for Young Master Hua Feng to rest."
"Anyway, it’s only a little over three hours from here to Tokyo. Get some sleep and you’ll be there."
Lin Yi nodded his thanks:
"Thank you. Sorry to trouble you this time."
Chen Zhengui hurriedly replied:
"It’s just a small effort, thanking me would be too formal."
"Old He and I are old acquaintances."
"What concerns him concerns me."
Yet right then, Lin Yi suddenly stopped at the boarding gate, blocking Chen Zhengui with a frown:
"Wait a second."
Stopped in his tracks, Chen Zhengui looked puzzled:
"What is it?"
After a moment, Lin Yi suddenly asked with interest:
"Uncle Chen, have you offended someone recently?"
