On the following clear morning, after having breakfast, Zhang Xian left the villa alone, driving Nangong Wu’s Cadillac out of the complex.
Today was the day for the Skynet martial arts exchange. He had already arranged with Han Xiangyu yesterday to go together, so after finishing breakfast, he didn’t dare delay and left right away.
The woman, she had a rather short temper. If he were late, he would definitely be in for a harsh scolding.
"Thankfully, I am here before her."
After a little while, Zhang Xian parked the Cadillac in front of a park, rolled down the car window, and waited quietly.
Half an hour quickly passed, but Han Xiangyu was nowhere to be found.
"We agreed on eight o’clock, and it’s almost eight-thirty now. How co that girl still hasn’t arrived? She didn’t lie to , did she?" Zhang Xian looked at his phone, the corner of his mouth twitching rhythmically.
To avoid being late, he had co out without having a full breakfast. That girl was actually late, which was unacceptable and far too overboard. Just because she’s a beauty, does it an she can behave like this?
After waiting a little more, he took out his phone and dialed Han Xiangyu’s number, "Hey, what’s your problem?"
"Oh, you’re not dead yet?" A cold voice ca from Han Xiangyu on the other end.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xian roared, "Han Xiangyu, what the hell is your problem? Being late is one thing, but to curse early in the morning? What did I ever do to you?"
", late? Can you even say that with a straight face? I’ve been waiting for you here for a long ti already, and you dare accuse of being late?"
Zhang Xian looked around and replied, "I’ve also been waiting for you for a long ti, but I haven’t seen you. I’m in a white Cadillac, can you see it?"
"No, where are you?"
Zhang Xian said, "Didn’t you say we were eting at the entrance of Al Fay Park?"
"Which entrance?"
Zhang Xian responded, "You said the entrance, so of course I ca to the main entrance!"
"Who told you it was the main entrance? Did I ever tell you it was the main entrance? Hurry up and get your ass to the back entrance."
Zhang Xian snapped, "Damn, Han Xiangyu, are you out of your mind? You said to et at the park entrance, and of course I would go to the main entrance! Why on earth would I go to the back entrance?"
"I’m at the back entrance right now, who told you it was the main entrance?"
Zhang Xian replied, "No..you said the entrance, normal people would wait at the main entrance, wouldn’t they? What’s so great about the back entrance?"
"In my opinion, you’re not normal at all, so I’m waiting for you at the back entrance. Hurry up and get here."
After a few unnatural twitches at the corner of his mouth, Zhang Xian threw the phone aside, started the Cadillac, and drove off at high speed towards the back gate of Al Fay Park.
He wasn’t sure what was wrong with that girl, starting his day off with such unnecessary drama, waiting for him at the back entrance. How odd.
Soon, he arrived at the back gate of Al Fay Park.
As expected, at the gate, Han Xiangyu was cutely standing there in her pink sports attire, a frosty layer covering her beautiful face.
A few handso guys who were passing by initially wanted to flirt with her, but wisely chose to retreat under her icy glare. They could tell, this woman was a tough one. It’s better to leave her alone.
"Speak up! What’s the plan?" Han Xiangyu approached the Cadillac and asked.
Zhang Xian asked, "What plan?"
Han Xiangyu angrily replied, "You were half an hour late."
Zhang Xian’s eye twitched a few tis, and said, "Sweetheart, isn’t it supposed to be you who’s late? The entrance is always the main entrance, there has never been any back entrance."
"Either way, you were late" Han Xiangyu said, "Own up, or you’re done for."
Zhang Xian asked her, "What do you want?"
Han Xiangyu replied, "It’s simple. Agree to one request, and I’ll let you off the hook."
"What request?" Zhang Xian asked hesitantly, staring at Han Xiangyu, before clarifying, "For the record, if you’re asking to give myself to you, I won’t agree."
Han Xiangyu’s face dropped, "Zhang Xian, aren’t you a bit too full of yourself?"
Zhang Xian said, "Alright! Spit it out."
Han Xiangyu responded, "I haven’t thought of it yet. I’ll tell you when I do. Head to the Skynet headquarters first."
"Is this what setting up looks like?" Zhang Xian yelled.
Han Xiangyu turned her head, looked at Zhang Xian, and asked, "Even if it is a trap, what can you do about it? Would you dare to act rough with , such a delicate beautiful girl?"
Zhang Xian slapped his forehead, started the Cadillac, and under the instructions of Han Xiangyu, quickly headed toward Skynet headquarters.
...
About an hour later, the Cadillac stopped on a lively street.
After Han Xiangyu got out of the car, she said, "Follow ."
Zhang Xian stopped short and asked, "Beautiful, aren’t we going to Skynet headquarters? Why did you co here? Do you want to accompany you for shopping?"
"Just follow . Why are you talking so much?" Han Xiangyu retorted irritably.
Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and followed behind Han Xiangyu.
Soon afterwards, they arrived at a parking lot, a secluded parking lot that prohibited outsiders. There were many luxury cars parked inside.
Han Xiangyu walked to the elevator door and selected sub-level three. Indeed, they weren’t going up but descending downwards.
"Is Skynet’s headquarters underground?" Zhang Xian asked.
Han Xiangyu nodded and stepped in, "Down here is our headquarters for Skynet, a completely independent departnt."
"I see!" Zhang Xian nodded.
On the way here, he saw that the parking lot was tightly secured. It was surrounded by a five-ter high wall. There were also six guards at the entrance, each fully ard, which had raised his suspicion.
Upon entering the parking lot and seeing the elevator to the basent, he was certain that this was Skynet’s headquarters.
"Ding dong..."
The elevator quickly stopped at the third underground floor.
In front of them was a dazzlingly white corridor, extending to both sides.
"Follow ." Han Xiangyu stepped out of the elevator and headed to the right. "Skynet has quite a few mbers, and you’ll get to know them soon."
Zhang Xian chuckled and asked, "Didn’t you say Skynet isn’t very big before? Now you’re saying sothing different?"
"When did I say Skynet had few mbers?" Han Xiangyu asked.
"You said that the entire logistics departnt was just you. Isn’t that few? In my view, a logistical operation must be busy. How could you manage it all by yourself?"
"There’s indeed only one person in the logistics departnt!" Han Xiangyu replied, "Do you think our logistics departnt provides various services for you? Dream on! My main role is to bridge mbers within the group and the intelligence departnt and handle so minor issues. The intelligence departnt can’t directly communicate with group mbers. We don’t bother with anything else!"
"Okay, then!" Zhang Xian responded with a wry smile. "Apparently, you have the most relaxed job in the entire team. Previously, I really thought you were busy!"
Han Xiangyu scratched her head and awkwardly said, "Well... sotis, I can get quite busy."
Zhang Xian glanced at her, not quite convinced. Considering her character, he doubted she’d ever get really busy. Plus, Han Xiangyu’s grandfather was Skynet’s chief and highly respected among its mbers; she was also a pretty maiden. Who would dare make her work hard?
A long ti ago, Old Man Han warned Zhang Xian that if anyone offended Han Xiangyu, they’d et a terrible end.
"Ha-ha, Zhang Xian, it’s been a long ti."
Suddenly, a loud and cheerful voice echoed in the corridor, and Old Man Han appeared striding leisurely.
Following him were several middle-aged n, tall and short, fat and thin. However, they all shared the sa sharp gaze, sharp as a falcon’s.
"Old fellow... it’s been quite so ti since we last saw each other!" Zhang Xian grinned.
Upon hearing his words, Han Xiangyu’s face changed instantly, and anger swept across her pretty face. This despicable lout dared to call her grandfather an old fellow again.
"What did you say?"
The other mbers also looked angry and quickly surrounded Zhang Xian. One of the middle-aged n growled, "You dare to disrespect our leader, shall I tear you to pieces?"
Zhang Xian froze for a mont, then looked at Old Man Han.
"Ahem..." Old Man Han coughed twice, looked away, showing no intention of helping Zhang Xian.
Seeing this, Zhang Xian was a bit upset. It seed like Old Man Han wanted to teach him a lesson. However, did these guys really have what it takes? He believed even a group fight wouldn’t be too much to handle.
Zhang Xian chuckled and said to Old Man Han, "Old fellow, are you thinking of getting upset with now? Do you believe that I’ll turn around and leave?"
"Ahem..."
Old Man Han coughed, and said sternly, "Everyone, back off."
The mbers looked sowhat puzzled. But if Old Man Han ordered it, they had to obey. However, their eyes were still filled with hostile flas when they looked at Zhang Xian.
How dare this insolent fellow shows disrespect to their leader? Wasn’t this a blatant disregard for Skynet?
Looking at Zhang Xian, Old Man Han appeared sowhat displeased. "You’re such a headache! Why do you have to threaten over a trivial matter?"
"Hehe..." Zhang Xian laughed, "I have so questions for you. Shall we talk about it as we walk?"
Old Man Han nodded, then walked off to the side with Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian lit a cigarette and asked, "You know my master, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have brought into Skynet and even assigned to investigate that so-called God’s spokesperson."
"Your master..." Old Man Han hesitated, "I definitely know him. I was the one who went looking for him. He was the one who told to find you."
On hearing this, Zhang Xian frowned, "So, it was him. I was wondering why you trusted so much even though we barely know each other. It turns out you have a recomnder!"
Old Man Han laughed heartily, "Now, you should stop doubting , right?"
"Of course. You’ve brought up my master. How can I doubt you anymore? However, I’m surprised that you were able to track down my master. There must be sothing special between you two!" Zhang Xian chuckled, comnting, "Old Fellow, let be honest with you. Your granddaughter is fantastic, why not betroth her to ? After all, you and my master are good buds, right?"
"You..." Han was taken aback and visibly annoyed, "Kid, you already have enough won. Don’t even think about laying a finger on my granddaughter."
"Why not?" Zhang Xian asked. "You have such a great relationship with my master. You’re good buddies. Why not betroth your granddaughter to ? Why let outsiders benefit?"
