Chapter 457 Marching into Pearl City, Zhonggang
Although Cao Erdan said it casually, he did think about it for a moment.
If Bi Yangyang can really persuade Bi Xiaohe, then I wouldn't mind.
If that doesn't make sense, one day when I've mastered the art of creating clones, I'll use my clone to find Bi Yangyang, and my real body to find Bi Xiaohe.
Try experiencing dual sensations!
Cao Erdan stayed for a few days not only to comfort the girls who liked him.
The goal is to expand the business and make it more stable.
He was responsible for overseeing the large-scale planting efforts at the base and the increased production at the brick factory and quarry.
Shi Kai, Shi Dabang, and the other original villagers of Tieshiling were meticulous in their work when it came to making money.
Bi Shan's appointment to Cao Erdan's important post also served as a form of supervision and encouragement.
For now, everything is progressing in an orderly manner.
Cao Erdan originally planned to call Ding Zhan to tell him that he could go to Zhonggang.
At this moment, I received a call from Song Changli:
"Special Envoy Cao, your sister-in-law and her father have bought plane tickets to Hong Kong!"
what?
Although Zhang Dazhu was told to keep a close eye on outsiders coming to the village, no restrictions were placed on villagers going out.
Cao Erdan also knew about the backgrounds of these two people; they didn't have any close relatives in other places.
Why run so far all of a sudden?
Could it be that they knew I was going to Hong Kong and China, so they went ahead of time?
No way, my trip to Hong Kong and China is a top secret, not something I just blurt out. They couldn't possibly know that.
Cao Erdan had just hung up on Song Changli when he received a call from Wang Xue'e.
"Erdan, do you know where I am?"
Cao Erdan couldn't help but laugh in anger: "I know where you are and what you're doing! You and I have long since severed all ties!"
Wang Xue'e said with a hint of arrogance, "I don't necessarily have to fawn over you. I'm already rich. If you regret being cold to me now, I'll consider giving you another chance. Otherwise..."
Suddenly, it was Wang Laogui's voice on the other end of the phone.
He snatched the phone away:
"What's there to say to this kid? Let me do the talking!"
Then, in a condescending tone, he shouted:
“Cao Erdan, listen to me. Xue’e’s boyfriend this time is a Hong Kong and mainland tycoon with assets of tens of billions. You’re nothing but a piece of trash in his eyes…”
"Listen to me, you old devil Wang!"
Cao Erdan also got anxious.
"Old Wang, stop daydreaming with your daughter all day. A billionaire tycoon could haul women in a truck; he wouldn't go for a widow like your daughter. Use your brain, or you'll regret it when you're fooled!"
Old Wang laughed loudly: "Cao Erdan, you're just full of jealousy. Just you wait. After we finish our wedding here in Zhonggang, we'll go back to the village immediately. We'll run as big a business as you, we can even buy up Hetang Village. Just wait to go bankrupt!"
"..."
Cao Erdan had nothing to say to someone like him and hung up the phone immediately.
Old Wang looked at his daughter with a smug expression:
"That's it, Cao Erdan is completely dumbfounded and speechless!"
Wang Xue'e, however, asked Wang Laogui with some unease:
"Dad, do you think... we're really going to Hong Kong?"
"They've already bought the plane tickets, it costs several thousand yuan, do you think they're joking? Let's go, let Cao Erdan regret it to death!"
Old Wang was overjoyed, while Wang Xue'e was preoccupied.
Looking at Wang Laogui, I felt a little uneasy about my conscience.
Cao Erdan couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to this money-grubbing father and daughter.
They were busy with their own things.
Call Zhang Dazhu and Huang Benchu over.
I told them to take good care of their family here, as I was about to depart for Hong Kong and mainland China.
This mission is even more demanding than the one in the Liangshan Mountains.
The goal is to cooperate with the experts from the Imperial Clan to eliminate the hidden dangers posed by powerful families in Hong Kong and mainland China.
This time, it was General Su Yi, the founder of the Imperial Gate and a war god, who personally took charge of the project.
So we must do it beautifully.
Cao Erdan also made up his mind.
Zhang Dazhu readily agreed that he would do his best to protect the peace and stability of Hetang Village.
When Huang Benchu heard about Zhonggang, he knew it was a pearl-like city, richer than any city in the mainland.
And I've also heard that it's a place that produces many celebrities.
He immediately started drooling: "Master Cao, you should take me with you on this mission, so we can have someone to look after us!"
Cao Erdan patted him on the shoulder: "No need. We've offended people in Daliang City, and my family is a worry for me. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders, so you must stay!"
As he spoke, he took out a stack of barrier talismans.
"Distribute these to those who need them as I instructed, and do not be careless in the slightest!"
After Cao Erdan said that, Huang Benchu realized that he couldn't take him away.
Had to give up.
Hey, ladies from Hong Kong and mainland China, just wait, sooner or later Mr. Wong will be there!
……
Under the cover of night, the city of Zhonggang shines like a bright pearl.
On the balcony of a luxury apartment in a towering building.
Ouyang Kang was wearing a brocade bathrobe and holding a cup of coffee with rising steam in his hand.
Gazing at the city skyline in the distance.
His face revealed a hint of melancholy, as if he were immersed in some complex thoughts.
Beside him was his loyal and charming assistant, the voluptuous Mao Ying.
After a long silence, Ouyang Kang broke the stillness with his words:
"Is the news confirmed?"
His tone carried an unquestionable air of authority.
Mao Ying nodded respectfully:
"The people from the Imperial Gate set off this morning!"
Ouyang Kang's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"I've long heard that old ghost Su Yi's health is deteriorating. It seems he wants to fight with all his might before he dies." The tone shifts, "But does he really think he can plug all the gaps by himself?"
Mao Ying dared not say more.
Because she knew that Ouyang Kang's strength in Hong Kong and mainland China was beyond doubt.
But the Imperial Gate is a mysterious organization that deters foreign enemies and stabilizes the country.
There are many experts among them.
If Ouyang Kang gathers forces from both China and Hong Kong to confront the Royal Gate head-on, the outcome will ultimately be unpredictable.
Moreover, in her heart, she felt that the royal family was still more terrifying, since they had the country as their backing!
Ouyang Kang did not ask Mao Ying for her opinion.
Although this woman is capable, she is, after all, a woman, and her perspective is not that broad.
As long as they run errands for me outside and can take care of me when they come back, that's fine.
Men always make the decisions!
He then asked, "What is the attitude of the capital? Do they completely disregard our opinions?"
Mao Ying replied, "I've heard that Su Yi's attitude is unusually firm this time. More importantly, we were indeed negligent in Daliang City, giving the Imperial Gate an opportunity to seize on our weaknesses, which they are now exploiting."
Ouyang Kang shook his head and muttered to himself:
"They don't have any solid evidence. It's impossible for them to target us in such a high-profile manner."
After a brief silence, the two finally sighed.
"This time, I was too hasty."
If they weren't so eager to control the Western Regions, they wouldn't have acted in such haste.
As a result, they suffered a major setback in Daliang City and gained nothing.
They also incurred the wrath of the royal family, which provided them with an opportunity to enter Hong Kong Island.
Ouyang Kang felt a little regretful.
Knowing that Su Yi was old, we should wait until Su Yi passed away before taking action.
The situation might be different now.
However, it's too late for regrets now.
"Now that the imperial guards have arrived, we can no longer stand idly by!"
He looked up at the sky, his voice fierce, and said, "We'll make them understand that I, Ouyang Kang, am not someone to be trifled with, and that I'll show them who's in charge in Zhonggang!"
A bird's-eye view of the night view of Zhonggang City.
The seemingly prosperous and vibrant city that never sleeps may be about to face a bloody storm!
