Chapter 224: Suspected Arrival of the Jade Person
Kong Mingsheng was already a seasoned figure in the underworld, yet under the piercing gaze of this woman's peach blossom eyes, he inexplicably shivered.
Liu Cai Chun spoke up, and Hong Qichang had no choice but to brace himself and follow her lead, saying, "Kong Mingsheng, just say what you need to say!"
"Well..." Kong Mingsheng sighed and said, "Actually, when Xiao Yun attacked Hong Shao, coincidentally, Young Master Hong was also present. He secretly sent someone to stop the security from intervening..."
"Damn it! So that bastard interfered! I’m going to take him down..." Hong Wu immediately erupted in anger upon hearing this.
Damn it?
This kid didn’t even consider his father’s feelings; did he think Hong Qichang was a dog?
What infuriated Hong Qichang the most was that this kid also had the audacity to curse; his wife was also your little bastard...
"Shut up!"
Hong Qichang was furious. He truly was angry, glaring at Hong Wu and cursing inwardly. How could such a grown man not even know how to speak properly? It was all because he was spoiled by his mother!
"Qichang, you’re wrong here. Wu’er has been bullied; what's wrong with him wanting to vent his frustrations?" Liu Cai Chun said with a pout, her beautiful eyes flashing with electricity as she glared at him.
"I will teach that Hong Wen a lesson," Hong Qichang said through gritted teeth. "But I need to make it clear here that I will handle Hong Wen myself. You two should not interfere in this matter!"
Hong Qichang regretted calling Kong Mingsheng over in a moment of impulse tonight. Liu Cai Chun and her son had long harbored deep resentment towards Hong Wen. If this matter came to light, they might directly take action against him.
He knew Liu Cai Chun well; she was beautiful and fiery, especially skilled in bed. However, she had a venomous heart and could be more ruthless than any man when provoked.
Regardless, Hong Wen was his own flesh and blood. Among his two sons, only Hong Wen showed some promise. Although he hated himself for his mother's death, within the Hong Family, who else could take on the responsibilities of Azure Cloud Group besides this kid?
"Everyone get out! I need some time alone!" Hong Qichang suddenly shouted loudly.
When Hong Qichang truly became enraged, Liu Cai Chun and her son still felt a bit apprehensive.
Once everyone in the room had retreated, Hong Qichang hesitated for a moment before taking out his phone and dialing the number of Lu Shan, one of the Five Tiger Generals. He said, "Lu Shan, I have a task for you. Keep an eye on Hong Wen for me; he must not encounter any mishaps. Also, look into Xiao Yun's background while you're at it..."
Just after Lu Shan hung up from his call with Hong Qichang, his phone rang again.
He answered it to find that it was Liu Cai Chun calling. His heart skipped a beat; why was she calling him at this time?
From the other end of the line came a sultry yet venomous voice: "Darling, if you truly care about me, find a way to get rid of that Hong Wen kid!"
What the hell!
As one of the capable Five Tiger Generals by Hong Qichang's side, Lu Shan was taken aback. Who was he supposed to listen to now?
If he eliminated Hong Wen and Hong Qichang found out, would he even survive?
On the other hand, if he ignored this woman, who knew what trouble she might cause him?
...
After Xiao Yun and the Three Women returned home and once the Three Women had settled down, he went back to his room and suddenly remembered that Hong Wen might be in danger.
It was no wonder; Hong Wen's Spiritual Sense was not something an ordinary person could possess or comprehend. When Hong Wen had invited him and the Three Women to the private room on the fourth floor, it didn't take long before he noticed a waitress eavesdropping on their conversation outside the door.
As Xiao Yun and the Three Women were about to leave Emperor's Tavern, he made an excuse to go to the restroom and managed to find out that the tavern's boss was named Kong Mingsheng and that he had an unusual relationship with Hong Qichang.
Needless to say, news of Hong Wen's dealings with him would soon reach Hong Qichang's ears. Whether or not Hong Qichang would be angry with his eldest son was not his concern; however, would Liu Cai Chun and her son Hong Wu let him off easily?
From what Hong Wen had said, it seemed that Hong Wu and his mother had always regarded him as a thorn in their side, and since Hong Qichang always catered to this woman, it was clear that Hong Wen's situation was precarious.
Xiao Yun did not want to meddle in the affairs of the Hong Family, but he valued friendship greatly. Just based on tonight's warning from Hong Wen to be cautious of potential harm from the Hong Family was enough to move him.
After some thought, he decided to call Hong Wen.
"Brother, is there something going on?" came the excited voice of Hong Wen from the other end.
When they parted ways, Xiao Yun had already given him his phone number.
Xiao Yun said, "Brother Hong, after Hong Wu was beaten, you continued to host us. I feel this matter will soon reach your father's ears, and it will quickly get to Hong Wu and his mother's ears as well. I'm just reminding you to be careful of their hidden schemes against you."
On the other end, Hong Wen laughed, "Heh heh, actually I've long become a walking corpse in the Hong Family. Life and death have no meaning for me anymore. Brother Xiao, since my mother left me, this is the first time I've received concern from you. Thank you so much!"
"You mustn't give up like this," Xiao Yun said seriously. "Listen to me, if you're really willing to be my friend, you must live bravely. Who knows, there might come a time when I need your help!"
"You need my help?" Hong Wen chuckled bitterly. "You can't be joking about me being a useless person, right?"
Xiao Yun replied sternly, "Does my voice sound like I'm joking?"
"I understand..." Suddenly, a choked voice from Hong Wen came through the phone.
Sometimes when a friend is struggling in despair, they don't need comfort; just lighting a lamp on the road ahead is enough.
Hong Wen is a smart person; having reached this point in their conversation, he should have some awareness of self-protection.
Xiao Yun hung up the phone and sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate for a while. Just as he was about to rest, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a graceful figure slipped in.
It was An Yiran.
The woman had probably just taken a shower; her long hair was loosely tied back with a few strands cascading down her neck. Paired with her stunning beauty, she exuded an indescribable charm. She wore a pure white fitted top and tight leggings that accentuated her perfect figure beautifully. Especially her long legs—being a martial artist, those legs were irresistibly alluring.
As An Yiran walked in, she threw Xiao Yun a charming smile, her delicate body swaying slightly, adding an indescribable allure.
Uh, what's up with this girl tonight?
As the moonlight danced and shadows shifted, it seemed as if a celestial being had arrived. There were no flowers around, but there stood a beauty as radiant as jade.
When the beauty smiled, Xiao Yun felt an inexplicable shiver run through his heart.
An Yiran has always been cold and aloof, but her arrogance is not the same as Ouyang Bing's and Qin Yun's.
Ouyang Bing's arrogance is reflected in her domineering attitude and her capriciousness in doing things, while Qin Yun's arrogance is an innate quality, enhanced by her prominent status and her Thunderous and Swift personality.
In contrast, An Yiran's aloofness serves as a form of defense against others; she seems to be on guard against everyone, having designed herself as a barrier that no one should dare to cross.
Their respective forms of arrogance, shaped by their different backgrounds and environments, have created unique characteristics, thus presenting different kinds of Cold Beauty to the public.
For An Yiran, very few people have seen her smile in public, especially the charming smiles unique to women. The recent troubles with the Duan Family and the exposure of Gu Tianfeng's true nature have only deepened her distrust of others.
Unexpectedly, tonight in his bedroom, Xiao Yun saw An Yiran casting a radiant smile at him, akin to flowers blooming in early spring under the sunlight, releasing a captivating fragrance that quickly filled the air.
"Sister Yiran, you haven't rested yet?" Xiao Yun asked, seemingly a bit excited.
An Yiran smiled and nodded, sitting down directly across from him. With her collar slightly open, a glimpse of enticing white instantly caught his eye.
Her posture was extremely elegant and sensual, exuding a serene demeanor like a refined lady or a beautiful ink painting.
"Xiao Yun," An Yiran suddenly asked, "I want to ask you something. You must tell me the truth!"
Uh-oh, he snapped back to reality, shifting his gaze away from her ample figure and asking, "Sister Yiran, what do you want to know? I will definitely tell you the truth!" The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
