The 322nd operation concludes, ending the 18-minute countdown.
Gu Family Villa, Orchid Garden Guest Room.
Song Jia lay on the bed, listlessly glancing at the book in his hand, and sighed helplessly.
His injuries weren't serious to begin with, but Xiao Yan and Gu Mingxia insisted that he stay in bed and rest. Song Jiazhen, who couldn't stand lying down, found this to be an extremely painful thing.
"Ugh, lying here is so boring."
"Brother Jia, you'd better stay in bed. Miss Gu has repeatedly told you to rest in bed. If you go out for a stroll, we'll all be the ones who get scolded!"
Liu Qi peeled an apple and handed it to Song Jia. Holding the smooth apple, Song Jia took a big bite and then leaned against the headboard.
"Oh dear, Mingxia is going through postpartum confinement, I don't think I'll have to go through it too, do I? That's going to be so painful."
"You should be content. Focus on recovering from your injury; your health is the most important thing."
"By the way, have you seen Mingxia's baby? Isn't he/she cute? Does he/she look like Mingxia or President Xiao?"
Song Jia sat up straight, her eyes wide open, staring curiously at Liu Qi.
"The postpartum nanny said the baby is too small and her immunity is not strong enough, so we are too embarrassed to go to Miss Gu's bedroom to see her. We will have to wait until after the baby is one month old to see her. However, the postpartum nanny said that she looks like Miss Gu and is a very pretty little girl."
"The daughter born to a goddess will definitely be a little goddess in the future. Looks like I need to work harder!"
"Hey Jia, you wouldn't be after Miss Gu, so you're now eyeing Bao Bao again, would you? That's an incestuous relationship!"
"What are you thinking! How can your thoughts be so filthy!"
Song Jia reached out and hit Liu Qi hard on the head. Putting aside whether he had such thoughts, even if he did have such thoughts, they would probably be nipped in the bud by Xiao Yan before they could even sprout.
Besides, he's not that despicable. If he can't marry the goddess, he'll try to seduce her daughter. That's just too unethical. It's disgusting to hear people say that!
"Then why are you cheering?"
"Keep trying to find a wife and have a son! If we can't marry our goddesses later, our son can go after them! That's definitely a good idea!"
Song Jia glanced at Liu Qi smugly. Liu Qi, utterly shocked by Song Jia's thoughts, sighed and glared at him disdainfully.
"Do you think your net worth matches that of the little goddess? You're really daydreaming."
Song Jia was taken aback, then sighed helplessly.
"Sigh, I was trying to have a dream but you woke me up."
"Matching social status and wealth still has its significance. Marriages with too much disparity in social standing and wealth are unlikely to last. So, Jia-ge, it's best to stop daydreaming, or you'll get hurt."
Liu Qi patted Song Jia on the shoulder and comforted him earnestly. Song Jia nodded with a heavy expression, as if he had really lost love.
"Song Jia, I heard you were injured. Are you dead yet? I'll make a joke of you."
Ah Huo rushed in, grinning when he saw Song Jia.
"He's still alive. Looks like the person Cai Feng brought isn't much of a threat after all!"
"I told you, instead of comforting me, why did you come all this way to make fun of me?"
Song Jia casually tossed an apple at Ah Huo, but Ah Huo dodged to the side, caught the apple firmly, and took a bite.
"These apples are sweet. It seems Miss Gu treats you very well, even the apples she buys for you are so delicious."
"Alright, enough of this banter, let's get down to business."
"Do you want to know how Cai Feng is doing now?"
Ah Huo looked at Song Jia and Liu Qi with a smug expression and asked them a question with great arrogance. However, after exchanging glances, the two shook their heads in unison.
"In no mood."
After saying those two words, one of them ate an apple, and the other read a book.
Seeing the two people's reactions, Ah Huo scratched his messy, bird's nest-like hair with a sense of helplessness and annoyance.
This was completely different from the reaction he had expected, and it didn't fit Song Jia and Liu Qi's gossipy mindset at all! However, the most anxious person now wasn't the two people waiting for gossip, but rather Ah Huo, who was eager to tell the gossip. He looked at the two people who were calmly exchanging whispers from time to time, and suddenly slapped his hand on the bed.
"Fine, you don't want to know, but I'm actually thinking of telling you!"
"Gently...gently, it hurts my leg if you hit it so hard!"
Song Jia smiled, pointed at Ah Huo's hand, said only this one sentence, and continued flipping through the book out of boredom.
"Well... Xiao Yan sent Cai Feng to South Africa overnight, and then had people spread the news that Cai Feng was still alive. Now, people from all the major forces in South Africa are hunting him down. I heard that Cai Feng is hiding in a remote mountain forest in an AIDS village. However, because Fu Laowu sent people in to search for him, it won't be long before he falls into Fu Laowu's hands. I estimate... he will have a very, very tragic ending!"
When Fu Laowu was mentioned, Ah Huo's face was filled with admiration, but the fear in his eyes did not escape Song Jia's notice.
"Are you very afraid of Fu Laowu?"
"Damn, isn't that obvious? Who in the South African underworld isn't afraid of him? I've heard that when Fu Laowu was young, he was a big shot in South Africa. Even the security minister there had to give him some face. How could a nobody like me not be afraid?"
Song Jia and his group only arrived in South Africa in the last year or two. Although they had investigated the identities and backgrounds of various important figures while in South Africa, Fu Laowu had long since retired from the underworld and erased many traces of his identity after his retirement. Therefore, Song Jia and Liu Qi really did not know about these things.
"I see. Then we really need to see what fate awaits Cai Feng!"
Song Jia looked on with amusement, which annoyed Ah Huo. It was always like this; he clearly wanted to know the gossip, but he always pretended not to, making Ah Huo unable to resist spilling the beans first. And Ah Huo always fell for his trick.
"You came all this way in such a hurry, you didn't just come here to gossip with me, did you?"
After digesting this gossip, Song Jia put away the amused expression on his face and stared intently at Ah Huo.
"I almost forgot! You still remember what Miss Gu asked me to do, right?"
"Of course I remember that, otherwise why would I have invited you here?"
“Here’s the thing, Miss Gu is currently in her postpartum period and I can’t see her. On top of that, Bai Zixuan has already been in arrears for three months. Didn’t Miss Gu say last time that if he owes three months’ worth of interest, she would let me decide how to deal with Bai Zixuan? What do you think… should I do it my way?”
Song Jia really hadn't expected this. He originally thought Bai Zixuan could hold on until the second half of the year, but it turned out that he couldn't sustain it for even three months. It seems that Longteng Group has really come to an end.
"Use Ah Huo's methods to deal with Bai Zixuan?" Song Jia looked at Ah Huo, who had a silly boss-like expression, with suspicion. He had never thought that Ah Huo was as simple-minded as he appeared. If he were really a simple-minded person, how could he monopolize the South African loan sharking business? Even Fu Laowu had never made things difficult for Ah Huo's business, so this person was completely playing dumb to fool others.
"Don't rush to deal with this matter. Let me ask President Xiao first."
Gu Mingxia and Bai Zixuan had been married before. If Song Jia really dealt with Bai Zixuan in the same way Ah Huo did, he couldn't guarantee that Gu Mingxia wouldn't regret it after she finished her postpartum period. So it was best not to act rashly.
"Sigh, I knew these rich people wouldn't keep their word. Looks like my Beggars' Sect won't be able to add any new members again."
Ah Huo sighed in disappointment, shaking his head as he looked at Song Jia, clearly dissatisfied with the friend who had introduced him to this business opportunity.
"By the way, Ah Huo, I'm curious about what methods you plan to use to deal with Bai Zixuan, and what does this have to do with your Beggars' Sect?"
"You don't understand! He took 300 million, you know? Of course I took him back to South Africa, then cut off his hands and feet, poisoned him to make him mute, and after he recovered, he went to beg. You don't know, it's especially easy for someone like that to beg. He can make at least several hundred a day, and sometimes even thousands."
"Ah Huo, you're disgusting. How can you care about such a small amount of money?"
"You don't understand. They're not losing out either. They took my money, so naturally they have to spend the rest of their lives paying it back. Otherwise, wouldn't I be at a huge loss? Forget it, there's no point in arguing with you. Since you won't let me do anything, I'm going out to have some fun. The quality of the beauties in China is getting higher and higher, much better than those in South Africa. Bye-bye!"
After Ah Huo finished speaking, he hurriedly left Song Jia's room. He exchanged a glance with Liu Qi, and Song Jia couldn't help but shiver.
"This guy is getting more and more disgusting."
"I have to tell my brothers, never borrow money from Ah Huo again, that guy is inhumane!"
Liu Qi shook his head and quickly left Song Jia's room, as if he were the one who was disgusted.
"I'm not going to cripple you, why are you running so fast?"
After thinking for a while, Song Jia called Xiao Yan. A little while later, Xiao Yan came to his room. Song Jia briefly told Xiao Yan what had happened. Xiao Yan frowned and thought for a while before looking at Song Jia seriously.
"Tell Ah Huo that he doesn't need to do anything; I will handle this matter myself."
"So... did Mingxia's 300 million just go down the drain like that?"
Xiao Yan frowned and remained silent for a long while before smiling at Song Jia.
"You may not know, but Bai Zixuan once saved Xiaxia's life. This is a debt of gratitude that Xiaxia can never repay. Moreover, they were husband and wife for seven years. Now that Xiao Qing'er has been born, let's consider it as accumulating good karma for Xiao Qing'er."
"Mingxia is actually very soft-hearted and kind-hearted, but that's good too. Leaving others a way out is also leaving yourself a way out."
Song Jia's brows twitched, and she spoke softly. Xiao Yan nodded, then asked a few questions about Song Jia's injuries before turning to leave.
“I have some information about Bai Zixuan. I think some departments will be very interested in this. This way, we can avoid upsetting Xiaxia and solve the problem once and for all. You can just pretend you don’t know anything. Someone will take care of this for us.”
