After parking the car, Xia Liu and the two others were led to the drawing room by a servant of the Fang Family. "That's a Spearhead Troop helicopter!" While waiting on the second floor of the reception hall for the Fang Family to arrive, Xia Liu unexpectedly caught sight of a helicopter five kilometers away. "Where is the helicopter?" Lin Yazhi asked, puzzled. She looked around but didn't see any trace of it. "Five kilometers from here," Uncle Fu said weakly. At this moment, he felt somewhat intimidated by Xia Liu, who had actually spotted a helicopter that was five kilometers away! To ordinary people, it would've been impressive enough just to discern that dot as something. Yet Xia Liu directly stated it was a Spearhead Troop helicopter! One could imagine how incredible his vision was. "This... Could it be that your eyes are better than an eagle's..." Lin Yazhi gasped. Since meeting Xia Liu, Lin Yazhi had been shocked by him time and again. "Heh heh, Uncle Fu, does the Fang Family have someone in the Spearhead Troop who's a team leader or perhaps..." Xia Liu gave a bitter smile without explaining his eyesight, wanting only to understand the connection between Spearhead and the Fang Family. When he was abroad, Xia Liu had a few encounters with the Spearhead Troop, and in the end, he was even threatened by an old man. "The total commander of Spearhead is General Fang," Uncle Fu didn't disclose too much, believing Xia Liu would understand his words. "General Fang? What's his full name?" Xia Liu asked a bit hastily. "Fang Huasheng." "Fang Huasheng! That old man with white hair and kind eyes, who always has a bodyguard with him, named Yi Bing." Xia Liu looked somewhat agitated; if it really was that old man, then he was in trouble. "Hmm? You know General Fang?" Uncle Fu looked at Xia Liu with confusion. Hearing Uncle Fu say this, the corner of Xia Liu's mouth twitched slightly; indeed, enemies often cross each other's paths. No matter what, he had never expected to one day run into Fang Huasheng. Meeting Fang Huasheng had been three years ago, back when Xia Liu had just mastered the Five Elements Mantra and was wandering through various European and American countries. He eventually made his way to the Middle East and then he met Fang Huasheng. He vividly remembered. The first time he met Fang Huasheng, Xia Liu had taught his bodyguard Yi Bing a lesson. The method of instruction was to dislocate his hand bones and then put them back in place. This was repeated about ten times, until Yi Bing fainted on the spot. Although he later compensated Fang Huasheng to some extent, the old man still held a grudge against him. "Is Fang Fei related to Fang Huasheng?" "His granddaughter." "Bloody hell!" Xia Liu couldn't hold back his swearing. Taking advantage of Fang Huasheng's absence, he definitely had to seize the opportunity to take Fang Fei away; otherwise, he might not be able to leave himself. Observing Xia Liu's expressions changing from nothing to something, then to sheer frustration, Uncle Fu surmised there must be some huge hidden trouble. He had no idea what the scene would be like when the two met. "Ah! Look, Yazhi has arrived!" Just as Xia Liu was about to inquire about some issues, an elegantly dressed lady entered from the doorway. "Godmother." Lin Yazhi beamed a smile, then stepped forward to link arms with the lady. "Old Fu is here too, you all haven't come to the house for such a long time." "Heh heh, Yazhi has been really busy lately, if it weren't for me constantly persuading her, she probably would have had to work overtime till dawn today," Uncle Fu chuckled. "Yazhi, is it true? You're still so young, how can you work overtime so late? You're not allowed to do this in the future." "Godmother, the company has had some urgent matters these past two days, so I had to work overtime. I do take rest very seriously, you know." Lin Yazhi said with a pout and a cheerful laugh. "You're becoming quite the clever girl, who would believe that? Hey, who is this young man?" As she spoke, the noblewoman sized up Xia Liu, who was sitting quietly on the sofa. She had noticed Xia Liu earlier but refrained from asking immediately due to social status. "Godmother, let me introduce him. His name is Xia Liu, he's from Binlai City. Remember my sister spent a few years abroad? Xia Liu is a good friend of hers." "Oh! So you're Feifei's good friend. Hello, Xia Liu, I'm Feifei's mother, Lin Shuxia," Lin Shuxia greeted him cordially. "Auntie, hello." Xia Liu also responded with a cheerful laugh. "You're here for Feifei's wedding, aren't you? You might have to wait a few days, though." Saying so, Lin Shuxia's smile grew even brighter. Ever since Fang Fei returned home, she no longer held any grudge against her daughter. The daughter had lived outside for a few years; it was only natural she would make some friends. Stay updated through empire And it was expected that these friends would come to the wedding. "Mm-hmm, Sister Fang sent me a message saying her wedding was set for nine days from now. So I rushed over early, fearing I wouldn't find my way later on. Luckily, I ran into Miss Lin; otherwise, I might have gotten lost in Liu Hai City." "Uh-oh, seems like Feifei notified you way too early. The date for Feifei's wedding was moved up a few days ago, it's going to be held in about three days." "Uh-oh-oh..." Xia Liu's heart suddenly started pounding. Lucky for him he had arrived on time. If he had been late, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life. Seeing something was off with Xia Liu's expression, Lin Yazhi kept making surreptitious gestures to him, urging him not to get too agitated. This was the Fang Family's place after all; any misstep could lead to being shot on the spot. However, Lin Yazhi didn't wait for a response from Xia Liu; her phone rang, prompting her to run to a corner to answer it. Lin Shuxia took this opportunity to sit beside Xia Liu. Even though he was not finely dressed, he was, after all, the only person who had been in close contact with her daughter and knew about her recent life. Without delay, Lin Shuxia began to inquire about Fang Fei's life in the county town. Xia Liu vaguely responded to her questions. He hadn't had much contact with Fang Fei, and shortly after becoming closely acquainted, she returned home. "Godmother, my sister said she's on the ship and told me to come over?" After hanging up the phone, Lin Yazhi hurriedly ran back to inquire with Lin Shuxia. "Yes, I was a bit surprised to see you just now. Why didn't you go with Feifei?" "What is my sister doing on the ship?" "Lingtian and Feifei are preparing for the wedding, so Lingtian invited his friends to have a get-together on the ship." "What!" Xia Liu and Lin Yazhi exclaimed in unison. "Why are you both so startled?" Lin Shuxia asked, puzzled at their reaction. "It's nothing, godmother, I have to go now. My sister said the ship won't leave until I get there." Saying so, Lin Yazhi dashed down the stairs first. Xia Liu and Uncle Fu followed close behind, not slow either. An hour later, the three of them finally arrived at the largest dock in Liu Hai City. A luxury ship capable of accommodating a thousand people docked at the pier, surrounded by countless black-clad, sunglass-wearing bodyguards standing erect. Seeing this, Xia Liu and his party immediately got out of the car. "Miss Lin, who is this gentleman?" Before boarding, the bodyguards stopped Xia Liu. They were unfamiliar with him, and furthermore, what was he wearing? Pieced together, did it even cost five hundred yuan? To be on this ship, every guest comes from a household worth tens or hundreds of millions; those without such wealth have no right to board.
