When the visitor looked at Xu Ping, Xu Ping also looked at him intently.
I saw that he was soaked all over, and he was hidden in the night in a long robe. His skin was fair and fair, and he was about forty years old.
"But Mr. Xu Pingxu?"
Xu Ping was surprised. He didn't expect that the other party actually knew him.
"Who are you?"
Seeing that he recognized him, Xu Ping asked in surprise.
The visitor cupped his hand and said politely: "Mr. Xu, I am Huo Zhinan from the Huo family. I heard Mr. Feng say before that Mr. Xu came to Hong Kong Island."
From the Huo family?
That is the financial backer behind Baidu Trading Company.
I also know Feng Lao... Xu Ping was silent for a moment and said, "How did you recognize Xu?"
It can’t be that there are still photos of me!
Huo Zhinan chuckled: "There are many outstanding young people in Hong Kong, but there are absolutely none like Mr. Xu who have such a virtuous attitude."
"Ha~" Xu Ping couldn't help laughing, and said: "If you want me to let these fox demons go, just flattering them is useless."
Huo Zhinan was stunned, looked at the trembling fox monsters, and said, "I heard that Mr. Xu is kind-hearted and came here specifically to slay the dragon. Don't worry about these fox monsters. If Mr. Xu is willing to let these fox monsters go, the Huo family will
I will definitely treat you with courtesy, and if you are sent someone in the future, I will definitely not refuse."
In this way, these white foxes must be protected... Xu Ping said in surprise: "Mr. Huo, since you know Mr. Feng, you should be a righteous person, so why do you want to protect these white foxes?"
Huo Zhinan explained: "Mr. Xu didn't know that these white foxes had saved the Huo family, so the Huo family agreed to find a place for them to live."
"Is it right here?" Xu Ping said, pointing to the unfinished high-rise building.
Huo Zhinan shook his head: "Of course it can't be here. We originally wanted to find a barren mountain, but Hong Kong Island has a lot of people and little land, so we haven't been able to find a place with rare human habitation."
Xu Ping frowned: "Then we can't let them stay here, that is, it's me who encounters them. If it's someone else, they can't be harmed by them."
Hearing this, Huo Zhinan looked at the group of white foxes angrily and shouted: "What have you done?"
The white foxes had already been frightened by Xu Ping, and were now trembling with fear.
"Mr. Xu, we have never harmed anyone, so we hope you will show mercy!"
"It was just a misunderstanding."
"..."
Xu Ping looked at me coldly: "When you wanted to attack me, you didn't say it was a misunderstanding."
The faces of all the white foxes changed slightly, and they turned their attention to Huo Zhinan next to them.
They all know in their hearts that only this person can save them.
Seeing that Xu Ping's attitude was still solemn, Huo Zhinan hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, I also know why you are here, and I just have some clues here..."
"What clue?" Xu Ping said directly: "I would like to hear the details."
Huo Zhinan pointed to the sea in the distance and said: "On this sea, there is a group of pirates, they are ghost-faced pirates."
Xu Ping asked: "What does this have to do with the dragon?"
Seeing Xu Ping's interest, Huo Zhinan spread his hands and said, "Mr. Xu, how about we go to the beach?"
"That's fine!"
Xu Ping glanced at Huo Zhinan and pointed at the white foxes, his voice still cold and cold, "A demon is a demon after all. If we keep them, there is no guarantee that they won't harm others again."
Just after he said this, Huo Zhinan across from him had not yet spoken, and Xu Ping himself was suddenly stunned for a moment.
What I said seemed to have been heard by Uncle Jiu.
Has he finally transformed into the shape of Uncle Jiu? Xu Ping suddenly felt a little dazed.
Huo Zhinan looked at the young man in front of him. He was not one of these fox demons. As soon as his eyes glanced at Xu Ping, he knew that his conduct was unfathomable.
When Huo Zhinan saw the young man in front of him who was so accomplished, he suddenly fell into deep thought and said hurriedly: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, if they really hurt people, our Huo family will never keep them again unless Mr. Xu takes the trouble."
."
Xu Ping thought for a moment, nodded, left the white foxes behind, and followed Huo Zhinan to the beach.
Leaving the unconscious workers on the ground, Xu Ping and Huo Zhinan left and walked along the seaside.
Huo Zhinan said to Xu Ping: "Since receiving the news from Feng Lao, our Huo family has been patrolling the seaside day and night. Just a few days ago, a merchant ship belonging to the Huo family discovered a piece of information."
"The ghost-faced bandits along the coast suddenly fled in all directions, and I happened to run into them. After a fierce battle, we left one person alive for questioning."
"how?"
"I heard they said that an unknown ferocious beast was causing trouble near their island and killed many of them."
I encountered it too...
Xu Ping thought of the ghost-faced thieves he met when he first came to Hong Kong Island. At that time, he only asked about the people behind them and nothing else.
Could it be that they were forced out by the dragon at that time?
Xu Ping slapped the sea surface, causing water to fill the sky, and said angrily: "In this case, without further delay, you can point me in the direction, and we will go there immediately."
Seeing his majestic zhenqi bursting out, Huo Zhinan felt a great pressure coming towards him just standing beside him. He praised with his tongue: "With Mr. Xu here, that evil dragon must be easily captured.
"
"If I hadn't met Mr. Xu by chance, I would have actually planned to ask acquaintances to find Mr. Xu's whereabouts in the past few days."
Xu Ping glanced at him and said: "This is great. With this news, I just passed Bai Hu for free."
Huo Zhigang obviously didn't expect that he would say such a thing, and he couldn't help but say with embarrassment: "Mr. Xu is still magnanimous, and the entire Huo family will definitely remember it."
Not wanting to talk too much about this topic, he brought it up at the right time and said, "It's just that I don't know whether the dragon entrenched there is that dragon. If I go there rashly, I'm afraid I'll scare the snake again."
Now that the hundred days have passed, it would be really not good if the evil dragon could not be found again and he really jumped into the dragon gate.
Thinking of this, Xu Ping couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Now several people are searching everywhere, but they can't find the body of Jiaolong. I didn't expect to hear some news accidentally today.
"What you said makes sense."
Xu Ping said thoughtfully.
The sea is vast. If the dragon goes deep into the sea knowing that he is outmatched, who will be able to find it?
After pondering for a moment, Xu Ping had an idea in his mind. He could control the creatures in the sea and let them turn into his own eyes to detect reality on his behalf.
But if the place is too far away and the energy loss is large, the creature being manipulated may lose control, and the effort will be in vain.
"How far is the island where the ghost-faced thieves are stationed from here?" Xu Ping asked in a deep voice, already using the spirit-binding technique, and numerous fish and shrimps appeared in the sea water in front of him.
Seeing so many fish and shrimps in the sea, Huo Zhinan also knew that it was the work of Xu Ping next to him. He was even more awe-struck and respectfully replied: "About seventy or eighty nautical miles."
It’s a bit far!
Seventy or eighty nautical miles, which is more than one hundred kilometers.
He has never tried to control creatures in the water and do things for himself, so he is a little worried.
Huo Zhinan's expression became more solemn and he said, "Mr. Xu, don't worry, the dragon will definitely not leave rashly if it escapes here."
Xu Ping sighed and said: "If this is the case, that would be the best. If we don't kill it, how can we comfort the people who died tragically in the flood."
Huo Zhinan also knew about the flooding in the southern Guangdong provincial capital and helped out.
I just don't know many details, but when I saw Xu Ping say this, I also bowed and saluted, "Mr. Xu cares about the people, and Huo Zhinan admires him."
Xu Ping shook his head, looked at Huo Zhinan in front of him, and said, "What Xu did is really not worth mentioning. I remember that the Huo family also donated generously during the flood."
Huo Zhinan said modestly: "It's just a matter of duty. The old man said that since our Huo family has a little wealth, we naturally cannot be a businessman who is rich and unkind."
Xu Ping said: "The Huo family is righteous!" As he said that, he looked at Huo Zhinan in front of him and said with a smile: "One day, the Huo family will be able to bring more benefits to the people, so Xu Ping would like to express his thanks in advance."
"That's natural!" Huo Zhinan said loudly: "The old man once taught us that a man is born between heaven and earth, and he should be worthy of his heart, worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of his country."
…
Unexpectedly, when I went out late at night, I unexpectedly got information about Jiaolong, and even got in touch with the Huo family.
Through the conversation, Xu Ping also discovered that the Huo family was indeed different from other businessmen. They cared about the country and repaid any kindness they received.
The family tradition is very good!
After saying goodbye to Huo Zhinan, Xu Ping went straight to Mrs. Zhou's villa.
We had agreed before that we would stay at Zhou's house. Zhou Lianqing was not pretentious, and Xu Ping was simply generous.
When he returned, it was already dead of night.
The bodyguard at the door saw it was Xu Ping and let him in.
The night wind howled, blowing through the dense peach forest, bringing a large area of fragrance.
"Why haven't they been eradicated yet?" Xu Ping was a little confused. He had already made the stakes clear to Zhou Lianqing and thought she would eradicate Taolin immediately.
This was someone else's business, and Xu Ping didn't intend to ask. He glanced at it twice and didn't care about it.
There were still a few lights on in the villa late at night. As soon as Xu Ping entered the door, he saw the maid Xiaoyu coming from downstairs.
"Hey, you haven't slept yet?"
Xu Ping said hello first and then asked: "Where is Hongguang?"
The maid Xiaoyu replied: "Master, he has already gone to bed. Madam asked me to ask you if you would like to prepare a midnight snack for you?"
Although Xu Ping didn't feel hungry, eating could improve his spiritual conduct, so he didn't miss it, "Thank you, sorry for bothering you."
"You're welcome, Xiaoyu should do it."
The little girl covered her mouth and chuckled, then floated into the kitchen. After a while, she brought out a bowl of fragrant seafood noodles.
It turned out that he went downstairs to eat for me... Xu Ping took the porcelain bowl and started eating: "Hmm, it's really good. This noodle is really good."
On the other side, the maid Xiaoyu came to Zhou Lianqing's room, knocked on the door, and after hearing Madam's instructions, she went in and said, "Madam, Mr. Xu just came back and is eating noodles downstairs."
Zhou Lianqing held a book in her hand and agreed casually: "Yes, I understand."
The maid Xiaoyu exited the room, and the moment the door closed, Zhou Lianqing put down the book in her hand, and her thoughts had already flown to an unknown place.
"well!"
"I never thought that one day I would be trapped by love."
Zhou Lianqing was filled with melancholy and her mind was no longer on the book.
What Xu Ping didn't know was that when she and Wang Hongguang came back, they happened to run into her husband's family and ran over to ask questions.
As for the question, of course it was the farce between the three of them at the Golden Dragon Hotel.
There were many people present at the time, and the news quickly reached the ears of the Zhou family.
Especially her relationship with Xu Ping, which was rumored by these people, had become a romantic affair involving a rich woman keeping a pretty boy.
The pretty boy does whatever he wants, and the pretty widow helps him out.
The elders of the Zhou family didn't say anything yet, but the younger ones, especially the deceased husband's cousins, came directly to the house to start a scene.
She was afraid that Zhou Lianqing would be hot-headed and give away her huge property to others.
If it weren't for the presence of his nephew Wang Hongguang who calmed those people down, I'm afraid there wouldn't be a chance to rest peacefully tonight.
"What should I do?"
Zhou Lianqing's eyes were dull and she was stunned for a long time. She was really upset.
Just at this time, a night breeze blew in through the half-open window, bringing with it the refreshing fragrance of flowers. Unknowingly, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.
And that person in the dream.
It seems to be the one eating noodles downstairs...
…
The next day.
Xu Ping got up early.
Although he slept late last night, at his level, he would not feel tired even if he had not slept for ten and a half days.
When I went downstairs, I happened to bump into Wang Hongguang, who was complaining to Zhou Lianqing who was sitting opposite, "Auntie, you shouldn't have stopped me yesterday and asked me to punish those people."
What else happened yesterday?
"Good morning, did Mr. Xu have a good rest last night?" Zhou Lianqing ignored Wang Hongguang and turned to say hello to Xu Ping.
Xu Ping said: "Not bad!"
Sitting down next to Wang Hongguang, he asked in a low voice: "What happened last night?"
Wang Hongguang said: "When we came back yesterday, we met people from my aunt's place. They said... you and my aunt have that kind of relationship. I want to ask my aunt for an explanation."
Xu Ping glanced at Zhou Lianqing and found that she didn't look over at all. She obviously didn't take it to heart.
"If you have a mouth on other people, you can say whatever you want, just leave them alone."
Although he said this, Xu Ping had another thought in his mind. If you dare to talk nonsense in front of me and prevent you from running naked in the street, it will be in vain for you to learn all my nonsense.
Hearing what Xu Ping said, Zhou Lianqing's hand hanging under the table secretly clenched.
She had another dream last night, and it was still the same dream of falling into the deep sea, and still being rescued by someone.
She could see clearly that that person was Xu Ping.
"Mr. Xu, I wonder if you have anything to do today?"
Xu Ping was telling Wang Hongguang what he had seen last night when he heard her suddenly ask a question. He thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing else. Why did Mrs. Zhou ask like that?"
Zhou Lianqing said: "Last night, I received a message that my family's business has suddenly deteriorated recently, and I want Mr. Xu to help with Feng Shui."
Looking at Feng Shui?
Xu Ping asked: "Did something happen?"
If it's just a simple business deterioration, it's impossible to suddenly need to look at Feng Shui.
Zhou Lianqing said: "Something did happen. Yesterday, three people in the company suddenly became seriously ill and passed away. It was a strange thing, so I wanted Mr. Xu to go take a look."
"Since this is the case, Xu has no choice but to do so." Xu Ping said loudly.
