After swallowing the morning light and finishing his normal daily practice, Chen Hai took a shower.
After breakfast, he picked up the landline phone in the guest room and dialed the phone number of the room where Tian Mingjian, Bai Xiaohang and others were staying.
The phone beeped several times, but no one answered.
It’s not that one person looks like this, but that several of his subordinates and the phones in the room all look the same.
Raising his wrist, Chen Hai looked at the time.
It's only eight or nine o'clock in the morning, so it's not too late.
At this time, Tian Mingjian, Bai Xiaohang and others were all gone, and they didn’t know where they had gone!
Of course, if Chen Hai really wanted to find them, he would definitely have a way.
But thinking about how he told a few people last night to inquire about Miss Qingxia's advertisement, and he has nothing else for them to do for the time being.
The call couldn't be dialed, so Chen Hai didn't continue to dial.
Picking up the TV remote control, he turned on the TV.
He really doesn't have much interest in watching TV.
He had already sent word to Gong Yuxin through Chen Zhengcong about Wang Dehui's kidnapping.
After passing the message once, it was enough. Chen Hai would naturally not go to Gong Yuxin to recommend himself again and again.
In that case, it will make people feel that he is too cheap, as if he is rushing to the door to flatter those wealthy families.
According to Chen Hai's calculations, if the incident develops normally, Wang Dehui, a wealthy businessman, should definitely die.
Ask Chen Zhengcong to send a message to Gong Yuxin, he is also giving them a chance.
If Ms. Gong really doesn't believe in her own abilities and turns a deaf ear to his words, then there is no other way but to let her watch her husband Wang Dehui die!
After all, Chen Hai is not the savior. He and Wang Dehui have never met face to face.
Without enough benefits, he has no obligation to save their lives.
Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature.
Whether it's a sudden death or an illness, people are dying all the time in this world.
If everyone has an accident and needs Chen Hai to save them, then he doesn't have to do anything. He is busy rescuing people every day, but he can't save them at all.
"The kidnappers won't call Gong Yuxin today."
"Although I have already sent a message to her, she probably won't ask me for help until she is sure that something happened to her husband and that she is not at the end of her rope."
"Staying in the hotel, I have nothing to do for the time being. How about going to see Brother Hou?"
After turning around in his mind, this idea suddenly appeared in Chen Hai's mind.
Brother Hou is naturally Hou Donggui.
Chen Hai will always remember Hou Donggui's help to him on the road of spiritual practice.
Ever since I got to know him, whenever I asked him for help, he would do it for me without saying a word.
After his strength was crippled and he could no longer use any magic, Hou Donggui has been living in Xiangjiang.
All in all, Chen Hai and he had not seen each other for nearly a year.
The last time, when Chen Hai was engaged, he went to Yangcheng and met Chen Hai.
He helped register Neptune Company, and he also introduced Qiu Dazhi to Chen Hai that time.
Now that he has come to Xiangjiang, Chen Hai feels that he should pay him a visit out of consideration for both emotions and reasons.
After making a decision in his mind, he found Hou Donggui's contact information, picked up the phone, and started making calls.
…
Repulse Bay, in a three-story villa.
Sitting lazily in the living room on the first floor, Hou Donggui held a newspaper and was reading the contents.
"Hubby, come with me to go shopping outside later and look at baby products. In two months, our child will be born soon!"
A woman with a pretty face and a big belly sat down next to Hou Donggui, held his arm and said.
The woman's name is Zhang Wen, and she is Hou Donggui's wife. They have been married for seven or eight months.
A few years ago, when Hou Donggui's inheritance was still there and his strength had not been abolished, the women who were with him would either die or be disabled, and various accidents would always happen.
After experiencing such things several times, and knowing that the root cause of the matter was himself, in the following years, he no longer dared to have any emotional involvement with any woman.
The so-called blessing in disguise is a blessing!
After his strength was completely abolished, he could no longer use spells, and he truly became an ordinary person.
However, he found that the so-called five shortcomings and three shortcomings of his Lu Ban disciples had minimal impact on him.
There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having offspring.
After confirming that he could really get married and have children, he became impatient and got a marriage certificate and held a simple wedding just a few days after confirming his relationship with Zhang Wen.
"Well, do you want to go out to the street now?"
Putting down the newspaper, Hou Donggui responded with a smile. At the same time, he put his head to Zhang Wen's abdomen and listened for a few times.
"The little guy is kicking me. Is he in a hurry to come out?" He smiled and joked.
After spending most of his life in the world, he originally thought that he would never have any descendants.
But now, his wife is right in front of him, with a big belly and a child. This indescribable feeling of happiness makes him often wonder whether all of this happened in a dream!
He loved his wife Zhang Wen very much and protected her in his heart, fearing that she would die.
"Yeah!" With a sweet look on her face, Zhang Wen nodded with a smile: "You go change your clothes first, and we'll leave after that!"
Looking at the pajamas Hou Donggui was wearing, she added immediately.
"Ding ding ding... ding ding ding..." Just as Hou Donggui stood up and was about to change his clothes, the landline phone in the living room suddenly rang.
"You sit down on the sofa first, and I'll answer the phone first!"
After saying hello to Zhang Wen, Hou Donggui walked a few steps to where the phone was and picked up the phone.
"Chen Hai? You kid, have you come to Xiangjiang?"
"Come to my place later, okay, I understand!"
…
In less than a minute, Hou Donggui had finished the call and hung up.
"Honey, I promised to go shopping with you, but now, I'm afraid I can't go!"
"A good friend of mine came to Xiangjiang. He will come to my side later."
"It's that Chen Hai, I remember mentioning it to you..."
Returning to sit next to Zhang Wen, Hou Donggui explained with an apology.
"Chen Hai? The one who has great magical powers and is very powerful?" Zhang Wen curled her lips in dissatisfaction and snorted lightly.
However, after hearing the name Chen Hai, she was still a little curious and asked casually.
"Yes, that's Chen Hai!"
"In this day and age, his abilities are almost worthy of the title of land god!" Hou Donggui said with a nod.
"Okay, since you don't have time to go shopping with me, then I'll find some sisters and let them accompany me..."
After complaining a few words, Zhang Wen stood up, picked up her bag, and walked out of the living room.
"Honey, be careful, I'll help you!" Hou Donggui stood up quickly with a nervous look on his face.
He supported her and took her to the door of the villa. After one of Zhang Wen's friends picked her up in a car, he turned around and prepared to go back to the villa.
Just as he sat down on the sofa, he thought about the landline phone nearby again.
"Mr. Ma? Hello, hello. Isn't the port over in Shenzhen City in full swing and under construction? How come you are free and come to Xiangjiang?"
"You have already arrived at my door? You called me to see if I was at home?"
"Okay, it's nothing to be inconvenienced. My wife just went out. You can just come in..."
Hou Donggui originally thought that the caller was Chen Hai again.
However, the result surprised him a little.
The person who made the call was called Ma Chengshu, and he was the deputy commander-in-chief of a port construction over there in Shencheng.
Hou Donggui is a bit of a good person and likes to make good friends everywhere.
For more than a year, although he lost his magic power and became an ordinary person, he has always been quiet and stayed in his small villa in Xiangjiang, rarely showing his face outside.
However, he still has some of the friends he made in the past, and they will come to visit him from time to time.
Some people come here just to catch up with Hou Donggui and connect with each other.
Some people encountered some troubles and came to Hou Donggui for help and advice.
Faced with this situation, there is nothing he can do!
After all, the friends he made were mostly high-ranking officials.
Those people came to ask for help sincerely, but he couldn't resist his kindness and couldn't turn them away directly.
Those who come to him to reminisce about old times are fine, but those who come to him for help and advice basically come to take advantage of the excitement and return in despair.
Hou Donggui will generally not refuse anything that can help him.
However, without his magic power and unable to use any spells, he is really powerless most of the time when others ask for help.
Although Mr. Ma Chengshu and Hou Donggui were relatively familiar with each other, there was no deep friendship.
Perhaps, he was worried that Hou Donggui would not want to see him.
He just made a call first and played later. They had already arrived at the door of Hou Donggui's villa, and he just made the call here.
"This Mr. Ma will not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything!"
"I don't know, he suddenly came to my door and found me. What is the matter and wants me to help?"
With his brows furrowed, Hou Donggui looked helpless and smiled bitterly.
A visitor is a guest. No matter what their purpose is, since he has found his doorstep, Hou Donggui will always meet them no matter whether he is willing or not.
Standing up, he walked to the door of the living room.
Not far away, a middle-aged man about forty years old who looked very capable, and a young man with eyes that looked elegant, had walked into the villa and appeared in front of him.
"Master Hou, hello, hello!"
When he saw Hou Donggui, the man smiled brightly, quickened his pace, and came over to greet him.
"This is Quanzi, Ma Xiaoteng!"
Pointing at the young man and introducing him to Hou Donggui, Ma Chengshu also kicked the young man: "Why don't you call Master Hou quickly..."
