"Aren't you coming with me?" Chen Zhe asked.
The man ignored Chen Zhe and stood to the side, keeping watch.
Chen Zhe sensed something was off. The other party had several bodyguards protecting him and seemed to be a big shot. Was he from the legitimate or underworld? Who on earth would kidnap him in the middle of the night?
[Forget it, let's go check it out. We can't run away anyway.]
Having figured this out, Chen Zhe no longer hesitated and strode onto the ship.
The ship wasn't very big, and he soon arrived at a room.
Upon entering, one sees an elderly man with white hair, leaning on a cane, sitting at a table in the middle of the ship's living room, drinking tea.
There was a bodyguard standing behind him, and the bodyguard kept staring at Chen Zhe after he came in, which put a lot of pressure on Chen Zhe.
"Old man, did you invite me here?"
Chen Zhe asked the question knowingly.
Hu Kui laughed, leaning on his cane, and then stood up; "Is this an invitation? Don't you think I'm coercing you?"
“Old man, you didn’t have your men tie my hands and feet, nor did you do anything to harm me, so this doesn’t count as kidnapping.”
"Haha, I can tell you're a coward, you don't dare offend me."
[Aren't you going to talk nonsense? Do you think I'd dare provoke you right now? Of course I'll say whatever sounds nice.]
"Old man, you look very dignified and prestigious. You called me over in the middle of the night, so you must have something you want to talk to me about, right?"
Chen Zhe asked directly.
"Hehe, that's right. I do have something to discuss with you, and I'll also tell you that I called you here tonight for something good, something incredibly good for you."
"Good news?"
Chen Zhe became puzzled.
"May I ask, sir, what incredible good news is this?"
"Young man, I've been waiting for you here for so long because I wanted to introduce you to a potential marriage. Isn't that a good thing?"
"What? Grandpa, are you kidding me? You had me dragged here specifically to introduce me to a wife???"
"Um... Grandpa, who would you like to introduce to me?"
Chen Zhe wanted to know who the old man was going to introduce to him. Judging from the old man's status, he must be of high standing. For him to come and act as matchmaker and discuss this matter personally, the woman's side must also have some status and influence. What was the old man's purpose?
"My granddaughter."
"Huh? You mean you want to introduce your granddaughter to me? Why? We're not related, we've never known each other before. Grandpa, please don't be impulsive. I'm not a good person, I'm a womanizer, and I have no sense of responsibility..."
Chen Zhe gets a headache whenever he hears about blind dates. He has already confirmed his relationship with Xie Yuhan and promised her that he wouldn't mess around. He is still racking his brains about how to talk to Wan Ya about the Tang family. Now this old man has come to him again, wanting to introduce him to a marriage. If it weren't for his old age and the fact that he has several bodyguards with him, Chen Zhe would really want to curse.
Hu Kui struck the object heavily with his cane.
"Boy! What do you mean? You think my granddaughter isn't good enough for you, is that it?"
"No, no, no, Grandpa, that's not what I meant. Let me be honest with you, I already have a girlfriend, I have a boyfriend, so let's not talk about blind dates anymore, okay?"
"Hehe, so that's what you're worried about. It's nothing, she's just a girlfriend. You can find a chance to break up with her."
Hu Kui said indifferently.
"Break up? No! Grandpa, I won't break up with her. Please don't force me anymore. You can't force a relationship."
"I don't care if it's sweet or not, I just want to quench my thirst. Besides, you don't even know who my granddaughter is. Maybe you'll agree immediately once you find out who my granddaughter is?"
"No! Grandpa, I won't change my mind. Even if your granddaughter is a celestial being, I will remain steadfast in my will."
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Hu Kui chuckled, his expression slightly gloomy, his words carrying a strong sense of threat.
"This river water is terribly cold. You probably don't want me to do anything impulsive, do you?"
Chen Zhe's heart tightened upon hearing this, but thinking of Xie Yuhan, he still couldn't agree. "Grandpa, I'll do anything you ask, but this is the one thing I can't do."
"Hmph! You don't know what's good for you!"
Hu Kui stomped his cane again, and his bodyguards, as if receiving an order, rushed towards Chen Zhe, picked him up like a chick, and were about to throw him into the water.
Chen Zhe didn't want to die. He grabbed the bodyguard's clothes tightly and shouted at the old man, "Sir, wait a minute!!!"
Hu Kui laughed heartily; "What's wrong? You've agreed now?"
"No, sir, I still won't agree to this..."
"If you don't agree, throw him in to feed the fish!!!"
The bodyguard lifted Chen Zhe up again.
"Wait, wait! Old man, I can promise you something else!"
"What is it?" Hu Kui asked.
"Isn't all you want a grandson-in-law?"
Hu Kui thought about it and it seemed to make sense. He wanted Hu Ling to give birth to a descendant of the Hu family, so it was not wrong for him to want a grandson-in-law.
"right."
"That's easy!!!! Leave this to me!! I'm a matchmaker, I'm a pro!!"
"Huh? You're good at that?"
"Yes, I can introduce your granddaughter to a very good potential partner, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Who is it?" Hu Kui asked, squinting.
"You'll be shocked when I tell you this, but the man I'm introducing to your granddaughter is an exceptional individual, one in a million. He's not only outstanding personally, but also comes from an outstanding family background."
"Who? State your name."
"His name is Tang Zihao! He's from the Tang family in Beijing, isn't he impressive? He's my brother, and he's always wanted to find a girlfriend. Introducing your granddaughter to him would be perfect."
Upon hearing Tang Zihao's name, Hu Kui couldn't help but smile.
"No, no, I know that kid, he's too green. My granddaughter wouldn't be interested. Either you find someone I'm satisfied with, or you can do it yourself."
"What? You don't even think much of the Tang family??"
Chen Zhe was indeed surprised. If the other party said they didn't know the Tang family, he could explain it away. But since the other party knew the Tang family and seemed to look down on him, his expectations were too high.
"Can't figure it out? If you can't, then figure it out yourself!"
"Grandpa, I really can't, I really can't agree to that..."
"Throw it in to feed the fish!"
Hu Kui said to the bodyguard.
Chen Zhe felt himself suspended in mid-air again, the river wind blowing against his face. Seeing the dark river water churning below, he knew that if he couldn't think of a way out, he would be swallowed by the fish.
[Brainstorm! Who has a more powerful family background than Tang Zihao? Wait a minute!]
Chen Zhe really came up with a name.
"Grandpa, wait a minute!! I know who it is?"
"who?"
"Guan Yingjie!!! A member of the official family in the capital!! You would definitely be interested in him!!"
Hu Kui was stunned when he heard Guan Yingjie's name. Seeing his stunned expression, Chen Zhe knew he had guessed correctly. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandpa, the Guan family is even more powerful than the Tang family. He is absolutely worthy of your granddaughter. I can help you two get together. Guan Yingjie is in Donghai right now. Let me go back, and I'll talk to them for you..."
Hu Kui's face was ashen.
After his anger rose to his throat, he couldn't help but laugh and then waved his hand.
"Throw it in to feed the fish!"
"yes!"
