Chapter 391: Huang Xiaolong VS Jiang Chenxi!
Huang Xiaolong found himself cornered within an alley by goons swarming in from both ends. Their weapons in hand glistened with a chilling gleam under the moonlight.
Suddenly!
Several of them made a motion towards Huang Xiaolong, their swift hands scattering a huge cloud of white powder enveloping him.
With just a hint of the scent, Huang Xiaolong knew, it was li powder.
Quick as a flash, no sooner had the li powder been spread when this mob of thugs brandished their knives and tal pipes, charging at Huang Xiaolong.
Very clever; first throw the li powder, and then pounce to kill. A well-rehearsed routine, it seed, a technique they’ve clearly mastered. Who knows how many innocent lives they’ve taken this way.
A gleam flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, and he propelled himself forward as if a tank, plunging into the crowd!
With casual ease, he broke their limbs, or their ribs…
Like an irate giant, destroying a pile of toys.
Three minutes later…
Huang Xiaolong leisurely walked out of the alley, muttering to himself, “Jiang Chengxi, quite the ruthless fiend, huh…heh, barely had our paths crossed before he’s arranging for my execution…Hahaha, amusing, it truly is amusing. Well then, tomorrow, tomorrow night, I’ll show you why the flower is so red… Did you think rely possessing dozens of spirits within you could put the whole world at your rcy? Heh…”
Huang Xiaolong left with a chilling chuckle.
He didn’t kill those goons either, but rely maid them, leaving them crippled and wishing for death.
He drove ho.
Took a bath.
Then got into bed.
After fooling around on WeChat for a while. Liu Feilei sent over many audio ssages, pouring out her full-hearted sentints. This straightforward girl had already fallen head over heels for Huang Xiaolong, forever and always.
Of course, in regards to his first true love, Huang Xiaolong was quite fond of her as well.
The next day!
Dusk!
Sea Port Villa Area!
Fang Shijie’s ho!
The lawn in front of the villa was lighted up, with several dining tables and chairs arranged.
A dozen or so guests were engaged in hushed, discreet conversations.
Zhaoyue and her mother were working together, bringing out the delicacies from the kitchen and placing them on the dining table.
Today, it was Zhaoyue’s grandfather’s, Mayor Fang Shijie’s father’s, ninetieth birthday.
The elder was a military man, a life of service has made him a quite reputed figure. However, he was now on the brink of becoming a septuagenarian, his health declining with every passing day, to the point where it seed he was nearly at the end of his ti.
The guests who ca to pay their respects all knew, the elder man wouldn’t last this year!
But, birth, aging, sickness and death are apart of life. The old man wasn’t suffering from any incurable diseases, he was just living out his natural life. Thus, the air wasn’t gloomy with sadness.
“Ah~~ the elder’s life can truly be called legendary. Let’s keep him company and celebrate his last birthday.”
“Age eventually catches up to everyone. The elder man, at ninety years old, what hasn’t he seen? In passing, he probably wouldn’t have many regrets.”
“However, with the elder man’s passing, it may pose so challenges to Mayor Fang’s future career.”
“True. With the elder man around, people from all walks of life would still give him face, but once he is gone… Ah!”
“I heard that a standing committee position at the provincial level is vacant. Originally, Shijie was likely to get the job. But at this critical juncture, the elder man’s health gave out… Life is unpredictable. If the elder man could have survived a few more years, it would have been significantly beneficial for Shijie’s future…”
…
At this mont, Fang Shijie pushed out a wheelchair with his own hands.
On the wheelchair, a frail old man sat.
The old man’s face was full of age spots and wrinkles; he was well advanced in years.
His eyes were sowhat clouded.
This was none other than Fang Shijie’s father.
“Ah~~~Dad, today is your birthday, do you see? So many people have co to give you their birthday greetings~~” Fang Shijie whispered lightly in the old man’s ear.
“Hmm~~” The old man was very conscious, just extrely weak in spirit. He broke into a relieved smile. “Good, good, very good… Shijie, you will have to depend on yourself from now on. It’s a pity~~ Your promotion to the provincial committee was almost a done deal. If only I could live a couple more years, it would be as good as sealed. Alas!… Ti is unforgiving.”
“Dad, let’s not talk about these things.” Fang Shijie’s voice was choked, “Dad, as long as you are healthy, our family will be very happy. Let things on the official scene take their own course.”
It is well understood that people always strive to climb higher; officials want promotions. It’s only natural.
How could Fang Shijie not want a promotion?
However, given his father’s current state, it was really inappropriate to talk about this topic anymore, so as not to affect his father’s mood.
With his days numbered, let the old man live his last few months in peace.
Suddenly, a glimr of hope flashed in Fang Shijie’s eyes. “Dad, today, I invited a guest over for you, soone you’ve t, Jiang Chenxi, Xiao Jiang. He is very talented and highly accomplished in dicine. Xiao Jiang promised to co over tonight to see you. Maybe, he can miraculously prolong your life for a few years…”
“Xiao Jiang?” The old man showed a hint of recollection, and then, a hint of displeasure. “I don’t like this youngster. There’s sothing weird and sinister about him…”
“Dad, don’t have any preconceptions about Xiao Jiang. He cos from a very ordinary background, not a rich second generation. He has fought his way to where he is today purely on his own abilities. Although there are so rumors about him in society, no one can provide evidence that he has ulterior motives.” It seems, Fang Shijie held Jiang Chenxi in high regard, “Dad, I’ve seen quite a few talented individuals. In Binhai, young people who are more capable than Xiao Jiang are rare… Of course, it’s not that there aren’t any—”
While speaking, Fang Shijie couldn’t help but glance towards the villa where Huang Xiaolong was residing.
At this ti, the guests all gently stepped forward and murmured the most sincere blessings to the old man.
Just then…
“Uncle Fang, Auntie, Zhaoyue, old man, I’m here.” A dignified male voice echoed.
Only to see, Jiang Chenxi, dressed in white, walked straight up.
The people present, almost all recognized or had seen Jiang Chenxi in newspapers. They were all curious and admiring towards this legend who had risen like a cot in recent years. For a while, many people nodded and greeted Jiang Chenxi.
“Zhaoyue, Xiao Jiang is here, you go over and say hello.” Mother Fang smiled at Fang Zhaoyue.
“Mom~~ I really don’t want to go. I’m not familiar with him at all.” Fang Zhaoyue protested. anwhile, her gaze also turned to the villa where Huang Xiaolong was residing.
Mother Fang chuckled, then lowered her voice and said, “Xiao Jiang is the boyfriend your dad picked for you, my dear daughter, don’t you fancy him?”
“Mom! If you say that again, I’m going to be angry!” Fang Zhaoyue’s face showed displeasure.
“Fine, fine, I won’t say it. As your mother, do I not know what’s on your mind? Have you set your sights on Master Long?” Mother Fang giggled. “I too think Master Long is more reliable than Xiao Jiang, but didn’t Master Long ignore you? Unlike Xiao Jiang who pursued you relentlessly… A woman, indeed, finding a man she loves is the best. However, sotis finding soone who loves you can also lead to a lifeti of happiness.”
Over there, Fang Shijie had already co up to greet them, his face all enthusiasm. “Xiao Jiang, you’re here? Co here and see the old man.”
Jiang Chenxi courteously smiled. “Uncle Fang, rest assured, today, I’ll do my best to have the old man live happily for another seven or eight years!”
Just at this mont!
Huang Xiaolong sauntered into the lawn.
“Little Long! You have finally co!” As soon as Fang Zhaoyue saw Huang Xiaolong, her eyes lit up and she ran towards Huang Xiaolong.
“This child~~~” Mother Fang shook her head aningfully as she watched Fang Zhaoyue’s retreating figure. “It’s done, it’s done, looks like she’s set her heart on Master Long.”
The mont Fang Shijie saw Huang Xiaolong, his eyes lit up. He patted Jiang Chenxi’s shoulder without delay. “What a coincidence today, co, Xiao Jiang, I will introduce you. Ha ha ha~~ Today, the two young people who I value the most in Binhai have actually t! Good, good, very good!”
Jiang Chenxi turned around to see Fang Zhaoyue dancing like a jubilant skylark around Huang Xiaolong. Jealousy raging inside him, he removed his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and then squinted at Huang Xiaolong. His gaze was as threatening as that of a vengeful venomous snake!
