"Master, walk slowly, and when I have ti, I’ll co to play chess with you again!"
Lin Fan, who personally drove, dropped off his master and Master’s wife at their apartnt building with a smile.
"Playing chess is fine, but don’t bring this thing next ti."
Mr. Gu, smiling, placed a bag on the seat. Lin Fan opened it and saw it was the fifty thousand yuan he had given.
"Master, this is a little token of a disciple’s respect; you really should accept it!"
"I have no worries about food or drink, and I still have a salary, as well as a pension in the future. I don’t need your money. Just visit more often; that’d show more filial piety than anything."
Mr. Gu said with a smile, waving his hand, and Master’s wife also nodded, "You’re doing so well now, nothing could make your Master happier. Visit us more often in the future, play chess with your Master—that’s better than giving money. I haven’t seen him this happy in a long ti."
"Alright, then Master, Master’s wife, I will definitely co visit often."
With the conversation reaching this point, Lin Fan couldn’t keep insisting. He finally watched the couple help each other into the building before he stepped on the gas pedal, driving away with Feng Xiaoxiao toward the distance.
Little did he know, just after he left, Mr. Gu returned ho and picked up the phone, dialing a familiar number, "Old man, today the young master asked to check Xia Hongye’s files. It looks like he’s starting to notice sothing off."
"It’s about ti he noticed. That proves the student you’ve trained isn’t so foolish. So secrets can’t be kept much longer."
The aged voice on the phone sounded sowhat pleased.
"Lin Fan is clever. During the chess ga today, his moves were incredibly steady and sharp. He almost had fooled. I must say, the young master hasn’t wasted these years. It’s ti for him to shine now."
Mr. Gu, holding his tea cup, looked out at countless skyscrapers from the balcony, thinking about the secret that had been hidden for over twenty years and was finally about to be revealed.
"Whether he shines or not will depend on his performance in Red Flag County. It’s not just keeping an eye on him now. Everyone wants to see if this kid can make a move against Zhou Chuan Chun, that old fox. If he really can’t hold his ground, then it’s better he lives as an ordinary person."
The old voice expressed so concern, acknowledging that so secrets, once exposed, could be extrely dangerous. If he couldn’t handle even Zhou Chuan Chun, then he wasn’t qualified to carry the banner, especially since the enemies he would face were formidable.
"I believe he won’t let you down. After all, he is the elder young master’s own seed—oh!"
Mr. Gu sighed deeply; so secrets had been buried in his heart for too long, almost making him forget that old, vengeful blood feud.
...
"Is this Qiu Qingyi’s property?"
Lin Fan looked up at the towering skyscraper which, though not as exquisitely delicate as Boss Qi’s Drunken Immortal Building, was indisputably more magnificent. Such a landmark made this five-star hotel seem many tis more upscale than the Tianhou Palace Hotel.
"Qiu Qingyi doesn’t own any real estate, yet she owns countless properties. That’s the biggest difference between her and Boss Qi. After all, her backer is the openly respected Han Family; she doesn’t need any properties, yet who would dare to disrespect her?"
Feng Xiaoxiao smiled, stepping out of the car and looking towards the entrance.
"I’m curious, how did you co to know such a person?"
Lin Fan moved closer to her and wrapped an arm around Feng Xiaoxiao’s waist.
"It could be called a coincidence, but then again not really. Ever since my family strongly opposed our relationship, I thought if I could connect with a powerful figure, maybe I could help you. In this Provincial City, aside from Boss Qi, it’s only Qiu Qingyi. And the won around Boss Qi almost all have to sacrifice their looks, which is sothing I absolutely cannot accept. So, I turned my attention to Qiu Qingyi."
"So things don’t need to be hidden," Feng Xiaoxiao candidly explained, "I looked everywhere for opportunities and bizarrely enough, actually ended up employed by Qiu Qingyi. As a university student, I could only do nial tasks, like cleaning her house during winter and sumr breaks. It was hard enough just to see her, let alone interact. But by sheer coincidence, I did et her one day, and I used the skills you taught to please her, and it turns out, she really liked it?"
"What skills?"
Lin Fan asked curiously.
"Massages. Don’t you always rub my feet? One day, when she seed tired, I offered to massage her shoulders. She found it very comforting, and little by little, I stayed by her side. Using my massage techniques, she gradually ca to accept , and later... I beca her secret lover."
Feng Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue, her tale sounding truly legendary. Just then, a minivan slowly pulled up in front of them, and as the door opened, revealed was Qiu Qingyi’s serene and peaceful face.
But the next second, the arrival of an electric wheelchair stunned Lin Fan.
