Lu Datou left without saying goodbye, so Chen Xiao had to collect the 'Jun Lin Sheng Dian' on his behalf.
In the following days, Li Ziqing had to stay in Weicheng to absorb and digest the Zhou family's industries. Chen Xiao couldn't help much, so he decided to personally go to Hong Kong to find Tu Junhou.
"When I'm not around, you must remember three things!"
"The first is, no messing around, the second is, no messing around, and the third is, still no messing around!"
In the waiting hall of Weicheng Airport, Li Ziqing held up three fingers, emphasizing the important matters three times!
"Alright, wife, I remember!"
"Hmph, you better, oh, and remember to miss me, and bring me gifts..."
"Okay, wife, I'm boarding now!"
Twenty minutes later, Chen Xiao boarded the plane to Hong Kong alone.
Finding his seat, Chen Xiao sat down.
The person in the next seat had arrived early. They were wrapped up tightly, with sunglasses and a mask... their clothes, however, weren't so modest, a goose-yellow camisole revealing two mounds of snow-white.
Even without seeing her face, Chen Xiao knew she was a beauty. Her skin was fair and tender, very well-maintained.
Chen Xiao stared at her for a few glances, but what attracted him wasn't the woman's beauty, but some other things...
Seeing Chen Xiao staring at her, the woman sighed helplessly and muttered, "I'm recognized even like this..."
Then she turned her head to Chen Xiao and whispered, "Speak, autograph or photo, I can satisfy you, but you can't spread it around, I don't want more people to recognize me."
Chen Xiao was stunned and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Photo? Autograph? Why would I do that? Are you famous?"
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately took off her sunglasses and asked with displeasure in her eyes, "You don't recognize me?"
Chen Xiao honestly shook his head.
The woman, angered, also took off her mask, "How about now?"
Chen Xiao looked closely and was immediately surprised, "Aren't you that person, that person, that person..."
Chen Xiao was dumbfounded. He fumbled for "that person" for a long time but couldn't recall the woman's name.
"My name isn't 'that person,' my surname is Wu..."
The woman said faintly.
"Wu Yufei!"
Chen Xiao finally remembered.
This woman was a moderately famous actress.
She often starred in family ethics dramas, the melodramatic kind.
Because his mother, Liu Zhen, loved watching such dramas, Chen Xiao knew her.
Wu Yufei herself was much prettier than in the dramas, and her demeanor was more elegant and refined, vastly different from the characters she played.
However, it was evident that Wu Yufei's status in the entertainment industry was not very high.
Otherwise, why would she be squeezed into the business class with ordinary people?
First-class seats were standard for big stars!
After Chen Xiao called out her name, Wu Yufei quickly put her mask and sunglasses back on.
"So you didn't recognize me just now, then why were you staring at me?"
Chen Xiao then remembered. He pointed to Wu Yufei's wrist and asked, "Where did you get this string of beads? Wearing it is not good for you, you should throw it away."
Wu Yufei wore a string of dark purple beads on her wrist. The beads were smooth and round, dazzling and lustrous.
Against the backdrop of the beads, her wrist appeared even more fair.
Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, Wu Yufei's brow furrowed directly beneath her sunglasses.
She sneered, "I've seen many ways to strike up a conversation, but this is the first time I've seen one like yours. However, I advise you to change your approach in the future; no woman will like this way of hitting on them."
"Hitting on you?"
Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback, then smiled and shook his head, "You've misunderstood, I'm not hitting on you. This string of beads will affect your luck, and wearing it for a long time will also affect your health."
Chen Xiao was telling the truth. While the beads looked good on the woman's wrist, they exuded a faint chilling aura from within.
"Are you done yet?"
Wu Yufei's tone carried a hint of impatience, "Young man, you're not my type. Please stop harassing me!"
After speaking, she directly took out a pair of earplugs and put them in her ears.
Chen Xiao gave a self-deprecating smile and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
He had kindly reminded her only because his mother liked this actress, but he received this kind of result?
Since she wouldn't listen to his advice, Chen Xiao couldn't be bothered to say more. She would regret it sooner or later.
After flying for four to five hours, the plane slowly landed at Hong Kong International Airport.
As soon as he got off the plane, Chen Xiao felt the grandeur and wealth of Hong Kong.
It was indeed an international airport. People were flowing ceaselessly, with many foreigners of white, black, or brown skin, mixed with various accents.
This was Chen Xiao's first time in Hong Kong. His impressions of the place were mostly from movies. In his mind, it was a prosperous and vibrant city.
However, all of that only existed in movies.
In the past decade or so, Hong Kong had hardly developed and had gradually shown signs of decline, even being surpassed by some first-tier cities in mainland China.
Before leaving, Xiao Nan helped Chen Xiao contact her distant cousin.
Her cousin used to be a small-time gangster. He fled to Southeast Asia after committing a crime, and later moved to Hong Kong to develop. It was said that he was doing quite well.
Chen Xiao was new to the place and unfamiliar with it, so he really needed a local to be his guide.
Soon, Chen Xiao met his cousin who came to pick him up.
A middle-aged man with a dark complexion, wearing a brightly colored shirt and beach shorts, with flip-flops on his feet, exuding a carefree and unrestrained aura.
"Hey, Chen Xiao, right? I'm Ah Hua, just call me Brother Hua. Xiao Nan told me about you. Don't worry, we're all brothers. I'll look out for you from now on!"
Cousin Ah Hua patted his chest, put an arm around Chen Xiao's shoulder, and was both bold and enthusiastic.
However, the way he said it sounded a bit off, didn't it?
"What did you do over there? Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually!"
Hearing Brother Hua's words, Chen Xiao's face darkened. He really didn't know how Xiao Nan had introduced him to her cousin.
It was clear that Brother Hua mistook Chen Xiao for someone on the run.
"Brother Hua, I didn't come here because I committed a crime. I'm just in Hong Kong to look for someone."
Chen Xiao explained with a helpless expression.
"Right, right, looking for someone, that's the popular saying now!"
Brother Hua winked at Chen Xiao, acting as if he knew everything.
Chen Xiao couldn't be bothered to explain this time.
"Let's go, Brother Hua will take you for some dim sum first, then a massage, a full package service, guaranteed to make you feel amazing!"
After leaving the airport, Brother Hua led Chen Xiao towards a Mercedes-Benz, acting as if he was taking care of everything.
Chen Xiao thought to himself that Xiao Nan's cousin was doing quite well. A V-class MPV, costing hundreds of thousands, was pretty good for a gangster who ran to Hong Kong!
However, just as Chen Xiao was about to open the car door, Brother Hua grabbed him.
"Hey, pretty boy, what are you doing? My car is over here."
Brother Hua pointed to a yellow minivan parked nearby.
