"It was all a misunderstanding after all."

Nangong Xiong laughed, Zhuge Hong's attitude was very good, this was the attitude of someone who solved a problem.

If Zhuge Hong was angered by the fact that Chen Hu touched one of her subordinates, then they would definitely not be able to continue the conversation today. However, Zhuge Hong did not have any intentions of pursuing the matter with Chen Hu.

"Chairman Zhuge, I have to say that the person you sent to invite me really scared me. I even thought that he did something wrong and offended Chairman Zhuge."

Chen Hu looked into Zhuge Hong's eyes, and said indifferently. Zhuge Hong's apology was also quite a surprise to him.

"Mr. Chen, this is indeed our fault. I hope you can understand that we are more sensitive if we lose something." Mr. Chen, this is indeed our fault.

Zhuge Hong said in embarrassment, she was sincerely apologizing.

When she had sent the five people out earlier, Zhuge Hong did not believe the thief's words. She did not think that Chen Hu was a companion of the thief, nor did she think that the thief had placed the item on Chen Hu. Even if Chen Hu had indeed saved the thief at that time, Zhuge Hong did not think that Chen Hu was related to the thief and only thought of Chen Hu as a passerby who helped out when there was injustice.

Zhuge Hong suspected that Chen Hu was the thief who had shared their gazes, so she only sent people to monitor Chen Hu, not to take any forceful actions, because she only allowed the five people to monitor Chen Hu, which was why Chen Hu was unable to get the answer out of the five.

Only now did Zhuge Hong realize that Chen Hu was not a simple person. Chen Hu had to be an Ancient Ranker, only an Ancient Ranker could help her escape in such a short amount of time, with only one out of his five trained subordinates.

Since such a thing had happened, Zhuge Hong had no choice but to doubt Chen Hu. Thus, today, she used a forceful method, considering that Chen Hu was an ancient warrior and his strength seemed to be very strong. In order to ensure success, Zhuge Hong had sent five experts, but in the end, they all returned defeated.

Although the operation had failed, Zhuge Hong had heard of a very important situation from Old Third, Chen Hu did not know why they were targeting him, and that was one of the reasons why Chen Hu was interrogating Old Third. Combined with the words of the thief, Zhuge Hong suddenly realised, there was actually no one who instigated the thief, everything was a misunderstanding.

Honestly speaking, since Nangong Xiong did not contact him, Zhuge Hong was prepared to contact him. Since it was a misunderstanding, then she might as well explain it all. Although his losses on this side were great, but fortunately, Chen Hu was not injured and there was room for manoeuvre.

"I also didn't expect that person to be a thief and stole Chairman Zhuge's thing. I also didn't expect that person to secretly put the thing he stole into my body."

Chen Hu said helplessly. This could only be described as an accident, no one had thought that things would develop in this way.

Including the thief who caused this, he thought that it was just a rock that was similar to jade, and might be worth a bit of money. She never expected that Zhuge Hong would take it so seriously, and on a whim, she gave the mysterious crystal to Chen Hu.

's words were exactly the same as the results of her investigations, it was indeed a misunderstanding. Since Chen Hu had said that, then he would probably return the mysterious crystal to her.

Zhuge Hong apologized once again: "I apologize for bringing inconvenience to you. I apologize once again.

"Chairman Zhuge, please wait."

Seeing that, Chen Hu stopped Zhuge Hong.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry. I apologize for the grievances I have caused you. Men, go and get the cheque that I have prepared for Mr. Chen."

Zhuge Hong instructed her subordinates. Because she had the thought of contacting Nangong Xiong right from the start, she had already prepared a cheque for compensation to Chen Hu. A total of 10 million.

It was not a lot, but it was not a small amount either. Zhuge Hong thought that Chen Hu would probably accept this number, even if she did not accept it, adding a few of her points would not be a problem, as it was not a matter of money in the first place.

Of course, at this moment, there was another reason behind Zhuge Hong's words. She wanted to tell Chen Hu and Nangong Xiong that she had already investigated everything clearly.

He had already prepared the cheque, so it was obvious that he wanted to apologize.

However, what surprised Zhuge Hong was that Chen Hu stopped her once again, "Chairman Zhuge, don't be anxious, listen to what I have to say."

Zhuge Hong looked at Chen Hu with doubt in his eyes. She did not understand what Chen Hu meant.

"I threw away the stone you lost."

Chen Hu said directly.

"Throw it away?"

Zhuge Hong's face suddenly changed.

Chairman Zhuge, let me first state that it's not like I'm going against you. At that time, I really didn't see that the stone was a treasure, saying that it was jade, jade, jade, or some sort of gem. I was worried that there was a radioactive substance inside the stone that was harmful to the human body, so I threw it away.

Chen Hu explained.

Hearing that, Zhuge Hong squinted her eyes, and asked: "Where did you throw the stone?"

Chen Hu shrugged and said, "Jiang Li."

"Jiang Li?"

Zhuge Hong raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, Jiang Li."

Chen Hu nodded.

"Mr. Chen, this joke isn't funny at all."

Zhuge Hong said with a darkened face.

"Chairman Zhuge, I don't know why you value that stone so much, but I really can't see anything special about that stone. Please take my angle and think about it, that broken stone might be dangerous, and I can't possibly keep it on me."

Chen Hu said with slight grievance. At this time, he had no choice but to show off his skills.

If the mysterious crystal was still here, no matter how envious he was, he would still return it to Zhuge Hong. It was not his own, and he had no right to take it for himself.

However, the mysterious crystal was already gone, so he could only lie to Zhuge Hong. He was very clear in his heart that if he told Zhuge Hong that the mysterious crystal had been absorbed by him, this matter would definitely not be good.

"Mr. Chen, do you really not know what that stone is?"

Zhuge Hong squinted her eyes and asked.

"Chairman Zhuge, I haven't even graduated from high school and my education is limited. I really can't tell what that is."

Chen Hu shook his head.

Hearing that, Zhuge Hong frowned, and asked: "Then Mr. Chen, you should remember where the stone was thrown in the river, right?"

"I'm not sure about the exact location, because I threw it out the window when I passed by in the car. I can only tell you, it's in the back part of the Lotus Blossom Road."

Chen Hu said.

"Mr. Chen, although Lotus Blossom Road runs along the river, since you're sitting in the car, how would you know that the stone was thrown into the river?"

Zhuge Hong asked in an indifferent tone.

"It's very simple. I used my power at that time. Chairman Zhuge, I think your subordinate should have told you about my strength."

Chen Hu calculated the size of the rock and said: "I'm not sure if I can throw such a big thing across the river, but it shouldn't be a problem if I throw it into the middle of the river."

"So, the stone is in the middle of the river?"

Zhuge Hong immediately asked.

"I can't say for sure, I didn't see it either. It should be in the middle of the river, so it won't be too close to the shore."

Chen Hu said, listening to Zhuge Hong's words, he was planning to go and fish.

Especially in the section of the Lotus Blossom Road, the river surface was more than 300 meters wide and had a depth of more than 10 meters. Even some of the sea ships could drive into and out of the river, it was too difficult to salvage a mysterious crystal the size of half a fist.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if he really threw the mysterious crystal into the river, Zhuge Hong wanting to fish it up would be an impossible task.

"Mr. Chen, I really respect a young expert like you. Today, I will believe your words for the time being. I hope you won't lie to me."

Zhuge Hong said expressionlessly.

"Chairman Zhuge, everything I said is true and I'm not lying to you."

Chen Hu said without a single blush.

"I hope so. Chairman Nangong, Mister Chen, I still have some matters to attend to. Sorry for not greeting you."

Zhuge Hong immediately disembarked from the order to leave, her expression extremely unnatural. She originally thought that she could take back the mysterious crystal, but who would have thought that she would actually wait for such a result?

"Chairman Zhuge, we won't disturb you then."

Nangong Xiong stood up and said while laughing. Forget about Zhuge Hong not believing in Chen Hu's words, even he did not believe in Chen Hu's words.

However, he had asked Nan Gong Rou before, and she had brought the stone over to take a look. She also said that she did not know what the stone was, and Nan Gong Rou had strongly recommended that Chen Hu throw the stone away.

Nangong Xiong was not the type of person who only cared about profits. If the stone was truly with Chen Hu, he believed that Chen Hu would return it to him.

Immediately, Nangong Xiong and Chen Hu left Zhuge Hong's villa. Right after the two of them left, an old man walked down the stairs.

"Hu Lao, is this brat trustworthy?"

Zhuge Hong asked the old man with a respectful expression. Although he was unwilling to believe it, Zhuge Hong did not think that Chen Hu had lied.

But what Zhuge Hong did not expect was that the old man would actually say directly, "Do not believe it."

"Hu Lao, do you think that brat is lying?"

Zhuge Hong's face changed.

"I sensed the aura of the crystal from him. I'm sure that he has absorbed it before. Since he knows the wonders of the crystal, how could he possibly throw it away?"

Hu Lao said lightly.

"This kid dares to lie to me."

Zhuge Hong clenched her fists tightly. She never thought that she would actually be tricked by Chen Hu.

"Hu Lao, I will immediately send someone to capture him and bring him back."

Zhuge Hong immediately said.

"This won't do, this brat absorbed the crystals and his strength has increased greatly. The people under your command are no match for him."

Hu Lao shook his head and stopped Zhuge Hong.

"Hu Lao, could it be that you want to …"

Zhuge Hong's eyes flashed with a tinge of surprise.

"No, my injuries have not recovered yet. I can't make a move."

Hu Lao shook his head again, "No rush, Cheng Long will be here in a few days. When the time comes, let Cheng Long go deal with him, and let him be arrogant for two days."

"That's right, I nearly fainted from anxiety. To think that I had forgotten about Cheng Long."

Zhuge Hong's face revealed a faint smile.

"Little girl, don't be anxious about anything, be steady."

Hu Lao taught Zhuge Hong a lesson.

"Yes, Hu Lao."

Zhuge Hong said with a serious face.

Sitting back in the car, Chen Hu did not know that Zhuge Hong had already discovered that he was lying. He was relieved that this matter had temporarily come to an end, even if Zhuge Hong were to search around the Yangtze River, it would not be completed in a short period of time.

"Chen Hu, are you going to school tomorrow?"

Nangong Xiong suddenly spoke up from the side.

"Uncle, I …"

"Zhuge Hong doesn't believe you."

Nangong Xiong interrupted Chen Hu and said once again: "Someone like her will never believe in anyone."
