Chapter 17

“There’s no need to keep these two,” Kong Xiuyao said coldly.

The driver in the front row shivered when he heard this. His heart was beating like a drum. He knew that the two people behind were not simple and were very terrified. The car drove very steadily and did not dare to be negligent.

When Qiu Lingruo heard this, she immediately became excited. She leaned towards Kong Xiuyao with full health and slowly clenched her five fingers. “Is Master going to kill them? Leave it to me. I’ll definitely make them unable to see the sun tomorrow!”

“I didn’t give you the special training for close combat to do illegal things. I let you use it for self-defense. Why are you still so smug?” After saying that, Kong Xiuyao knocked Qiu Lingruo’s head again.

Why was this young lady so hot-blooded after not seeing her for a few years? She always wanted to fight and kill.

Qiu Lingruo covered the spot where she had been hit and said with a pout, “This kind of person won’t learn unless he’s beaten… Then what do you think we should do?”

Kong Xiuyao raised his head and stared out of the window. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly stopped the driver.

“Driver, stop by the roadside.”

“Understood!” The driver thought that Kong Xiuyao was getting out of the car and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Just now, the two of them said that they couldn’t stay and that they wouldn’t be able to see the sun tomorrow. They didn’t hide their conversation at all.

The driver didn’t expect to hear the other party conspiring to cause trouble after taking on a business deal. He hated that his ears didn’t have the ability to turn off automatically. He was really lucky to be able to send his two ancestors away.

Without waiting for the car to stop, Kong Xiuyao asked Qiu Lingruo, “Is your Eldest Senior Brother in Quanhe Province?”

“That’s right!” Qiu Lingruo took out her phone and flipped to the message interface. “He wants to see you but doesn’t dare to. He has already sent the fourth message today to ask about your situation.”

In order to see him, his eldest disciple, Wang Jianglin, put down his other work and stayed in Quanhe Province.

Kong Xiuyao picked up his phone and took a look. The message was nothing more than greetings and concern, as well as asking if his master was in a good mood today and if he wanted to see his disciples.

More diligent than 10086.

It was only the second day after Kong Xiuyao left the mountain, and he did not buy a phone. Wang Jianglin could only ask Qiu Lingruo.

“It’s good that he’s here. Ask him where he is now. We’ll go find him.” Kong Xiuyao threw the phone to Qiu Lingruo and leaned back in his chair. He had no intention of getting out of the car.

The driver kept peeking at the backseat through the rearview mirror and muttered in his heart, “Why aren’t we leaving yet?”

On the other side, Qiu Lingruo did not ask for the address. Instead, she looked at her phone and directly located Wang Jianglin’s location.

She handed the phone to the driver in the front seat and said, “Driver, go to Wonda Plaza on the map.”

There were a total of three Wonda Plazas in the main city area of Quanhe Province. The nearest one was only a street away from Kong Xiuyao. The furthest one was more than 40 minutes away by car. Wang Jianglin happened to be at the furthest one.

The driver saw that it was a crowded place and felt a little relieved. If it was a remote place, he would rather get out of the car and run now.

He was bewildered and even more polite to Kong Xiuyao. “Please sit down. The entire process will take 40 minutes. Please sit tight and set off immediately.”

…

On the other side, in Wonda Plaza.

Wang Jianglin walked aimlessly in the mall with his hands behind his back. From time to time, he would stop to look around before continuing forward.

Behind him came two men, a short fat man who was in charge of the mall.

The other tall and thin man was wearing a suit in the middle of the summer. He was still sweating profusely as he walked in the air-conditioned mall. The man had a bitter smile on his face as he followed behind Wang Jianglin.

He was the regional head of the Wonda Group’s Quanhe Province—Zhong Zunshi.

Even though he was only a regional person-in-charge, he used to be Wang Jianglin’s right-hand man in the head office. His status in the group was equivalent to above ten thousand people. On some occasions, he could directly represent Wang Jianglin

With Zhong Zunshi’s ability, it was more than enough for him to go to a first-tier city or a first-tier city to manage the affairs of the Wonda Group. However, because Wang Jianglin valued Quanhe Province, a third-tier city, he transferred him here to be the regional head.

At first, Zhong Zunshi was very confused and almost quit his job because of this. However, he realized later that Wang Jianglin ran to the Quan He for no reason, as if he was waiting for someone.

Even though Zhong Zunshi did not know who he was waiting for, he understood Quan He’s position in Wang Jianglins heart, so he continued to work here obediently.

However, Zhong Zunshi realized that Wang Jianglin’s attitude had been a little abnormal for the past two days. There had been several calls from the head office urging him to go back quickly, but he was unmoved.

On the other hand, Wang Jianglin had nothing to do at the Quan He branch office. He only relied on patrolling the Wonda Plaza to pass the time and watch the fire every day. This made Zhong Zunshi feel uneasy all day, afraid that his superior would catch him if he was not considerate.

In order to prevent this from happening, Zhong Zunshi proposed to bring him to Pingxu Village for a walk. After all, that place would also be one of Wonda’s development sites in the future, but Wang Jianglin refused.

Today, Wang Jianglin was walking around the mall on a whim. He stopped every three steps and sighed from time to time. It was obvious that he had something on his mind.

“President Wang, you’ve been walking for more than two hours. Why don’t you rest for a while?” Zhong Zunshi said boldly. Wang Jianglin had something on his mind. He didn’t feel tired as he walked, but he really couldn’t walk anymore. His calf muscles were sore, and he just wanted to find a place to relax.

The person in charge of the mall beside him also nodded. He really couldn’t walk anymore.

Wang Jianglin sighed before saying, “Sigh… I don’t want to leave either, but I really don’t know what to do…”

Zhong Zunshi roared in his heart, “Go back to the headquarters if you don’t know what to do! There are still several decision meetings waiting for you over there!”

However, he didn’t dare to say that. He could only say respectfully, “Have you taken a fancy to that piece of land in the Quan He again? You said that I’ll immediately use my connections to find out about the situation.”

Apart from this reason, Zhong Zunshi could not think of any other reason why Wang Jianglin was staying here.

The mall manager echoed, “That’s right, that’s right. President Zhong has a reliable information channel here. I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied.”

When Wang Jianglin heard the two of them echoing each other, he glanced at them as if they were fools. He thought to himself, How reliable are your information channels? How can they be as reliable as the 72th Junior Sister?

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and took a look to see if Qiu Lingruo had replied to him. He felt even more bitter. Why was it so difficult for him to see his master?

Initially, he did not have much hope. However, the moment he saw the message, Wang Jianglin gasped. The blood in his limbs boiled and accelerated in his veins.

“Master and I are on our way to find you. We are expected to arrive in 42 minutes. Get ready to receive us~” The message said.

Wang Jianglin glanced at the time and immediately panicked!

‘The message was from forty minutes ago? Doesn’t that mean that was only two minutes left?’
