By the time he returned home, Huang Xue and Zhang Qing were already gone. Zhang Xiaoxue was missing too. Xia Liu called Zhang Xiaoxue. It turned out that she had gone to play at a villager's house. Actually, Zhang Xiaoxue was there to seek advice because the villager had just gotten a wife, and she was there to find the villager's wife. As for Huang Xue and Zhang Qing, the two women had driven to Hejing County. Regarding the hotel issues, merely talking about them wasn't enough for Huang Xue to pinpoint where the problems lay. They could only inspect each area of the hotel and finally compile the specific data. "Xiaoxue, I am going to the county town to buy some things. If I can't find them there, I might have to go to the city, so I'm not sure when I'll be back. You don't have to wait up for me; go to bed early," he said. After giving her a heads-up, Xia Liu drove towards the town. To bring up those sea fish, he had to purchase fishing tools. Starting with the most basic, a fishing boat, he planned to look around to see where one could be purchased. After arriving in the county, Xia Liu drove straight to Longteng. Not being very familiar with Hejing County, he was sure that finding Ye Ming would not lead to any mistakes. "The Chairman wants to buy a fishing boat?" Ye Ming thought he had misheard, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Yes, I want to buy a fishing boat, one that can dredge up sea fish," Xia Liu nodded as he spoke. "There are no fishing boats for sale in Hejing County. You might find some in Binlai City near the coastal areas, but I'm not sure," Ye Ming replied cautiously. Ye Ming could only answer so much as fishing boats, those operational tools, are available here, and Longteng Hotel orders their sea fish through these boats. The salvage team's boss had told him his fishing boats were second-hand ones bought from other places. "I see. Do you have an address? I'll go to Binlai City to check it out." "Yes, I'll send it to your phone right now," Ye Ming had noticed the boat shop during his previous visits to Binlai City. It was actually easy to remember, located right by the seaside—just about any resident of Binlai City would know it. Once he got the address, Xia Liu pondered whether to go immediately. By this time, the evening glow was slowly fading, and it was about to get dark. After considering, he decided to go right away. It's just, he could sense, that Zhang Xiaoxue was very nervous. If she had been ready, she would definitely have taken a bath and waited at home the day Huang Xue and Zhang Qing left. But she didn't. She had gone out, which meant she wasn't ready yet, especially since Huang Xue's moving out happened too suddenly. Giving her some time to mentally prepare was also good. Thinking this, Xia Liu drove towards Binlai City. Following the address Ye Ming had given, he reached the place selling fishing boats. As expected, the shop had already closed for the day. Seeing many fishing boats docked in the water, Xia Liu smiled. Actually, he had come just to confirm the address, so he wouldn't need to waste time looking for it in the morning. While driving to find a hotel to stay in, Xia Liu realized he didn't have his ID with him. This was incredibly awkward. After thinking, he decided to go to the Wanqing Grand Hotel instead. It was already eight in the evening. Driving back to Hejing County and then coming back here in the morning would be too troublesome. Before heading to Wanqing Hotel, he stopped at a random restaurant and had some dinner. This was originally nothing significant. But while he was dining, he suddenly saw someone he didn't expect to see. That person was Liu Mang. Xia Liu remembered, this guy had gone to Li Qianqian's house before and ended up getting a faceful of his unintended punches. Despite this, encountering this guy wasn't the concern for Xia Liu—what worried him was the moment Liu Mang was checking out at the front desk. A man and a woman were supporting another woman as they walked out of the private room. The supported woman clearly wasn't alright, barely able to stand on her own. Xia Liu's pupils suddenly constricted because he recognized both the man supporting her and the woman who was off. Yes, it was Liu Chen and Liu Lanxin!!! It wasn't unusual for Liu Lanxin to drink, but how could she be so drunk? With her smarts, even if she couldn't refuse Liu Chen's dinner invitation, she wouldn't normally be hammered. The situation now was clear! Liu Lanxin had been set up! It was the doing of Liu Chen and Liu Mang! Xia Liu did not act immediately; he actually wanted to see what these two were up to. When Liu Mang and Liu Chen, along with Liu Lanxin and another woman, left the building, Xia Liu also checked out and left. Liu Mang was driving a Porsche Cayenne ahead, winding through several intersections. The Cayenne pulled into a hotel parking lot. Xia Liu followed them in but still did not take action. He almost knew what was going to happen next and took this as an opportunity to find himself a room. When the four had gotten their room and entered the elevator, Xia Liu then approached the front desk. "Miss, my friends just came here to check into a room, called Liu Mang and Liu Chen. Can you help me see which room they checked into?" Xia Liu said this while casually placing his BMW car keys on the counter. He did this to show off; otherwise, the receptionist definitely wouldn't tell him which rooms those two had checked into. Xia Liu's thinking was absolutely right; had it not been for flaunting his wealth, the front desk surely wouldn't have disclosed Liu Mang's room number. This was all psychological warfare. Xia Liu appeared very sincere, and he drove a BMW, obviously wealthy, right? If a rich person is looking for his friends and you don't tell him, what if he knows the hotel owner? Then you might as well kiss your job goodbye, or just endure and wait for the boss's dirty rules. "Room three zero one, Liu Mang, oh Liu Mang, I'm going to give you a surprise soon!" Xia Liu thought. Arriving at the door of room 301, Xia Liu rang the bell, and Liu Mang's voice came from inside: "Who is it?" "Front desk, the room card we gave you was set incorrectly. The room will lose power in an hour. I've brought a new room card for you. Please open the door," Xia Liu said, pretending. As for hotels, he owned two himself, so he was very familiar with these matters. Given Liu Lanxin's incredible figure, it would be a pity to turn off the lights. Knowing Liu Mang's character, he would turn off the lights, likely not enduring even a second of darkness in the room. Sure enough, sounds of the door lock being disengaged quickly came from inside. Click, Liu Mang peeked out, and the moment he saw Xia Liu, he froze. He remembered Xia Liu, and wouldn't forget even until death. If it weren't for Xia Liu, Liu Mang was confident he could have handled Li Qianqian in short order. Because of Xia Liu, all his efforts had been in vain. That wasn't all, what made him want to tear Xia Liu apart limb from limb were the company issues. Xia Liu's collaboration with Tianluo Pharmaceutical over the Beauty Mud incident caused Liu Pharmaceutical to lose a chance to cooperate with the medical teams. All these hate piled up, and Liu Mang had the overwhelming urge to kill Xia Liu a hundred times over. "Hey there, I'm coming in." In a split second, Xia Liu pushed the door open and punched Liu Mang in the abdomen. This sudden, intense pain made Liu Mang drop to his knees. Xia Liu scanned the room, and when his eyes landed on Liu Lanxin, he saw something that infuriated him to the extreme!
