Meeting Jiang Yu this time was a completely unexpected surprise, something even Xia Che himself hadn't anticipated.
However, the girl was clearly too wary. Xia Che knew that haste makes waste, and being too enthusiastic would only arouse her suspicion. In addition, he had more important things to do today, so after the little incident in the morning, Xia Che went to the high-speed rail station and boarded the train to Lotus Peak.
High-speed trains are always fast. Xia Che only needed to doze off for a short while before he arrived at his destination.
Huaguo, Huizhou.
"I feel like I've forgotten something that seems very important."
Xia Che followed the crowd toward the exit station. He had just woken up and was rubbing his sleepy eyes. His mind felt foggy and heavy.
It seems that before getting on the bus, I was muttering something to myself, something that would have serious consequences if I forgot.
What is it...?
Xia Che muttered to himself, then hailed a taxi and headed towards the Huangshan Scenic Area.
Huangshan Scenic Area, located in Huizhou, is a famous tourist attraction throughout China. It receives a massive number of visitors every day. Basically, from the foot of the mountain, you can see crowds of people everywhere on the slopes.
However, Huangshan Scenic Area is too large, with 72 peaks, each a gem. Therefore, even with such a large number of visitors, it is impossible to climb every peak and see every place on the mountain. That is simply impossible.
Su Miaorou preferred tranquility, so she chose Lotus Peak, the highest and least populated of the seventy-two peaks of Huangshan.
Looking at the excited tourists around him, Xia Che was already used to this situation. According to his memory, every time he came to see his master, it was always the same scene.
There are many of these people at the foot of the mountain; once they go inside, the number of people decreases.
"What exactly did I forget..."
Xia Che put his hands in his pockets and walked into the deep mountains, racking his brains trying to figure out what important thing he had forgotten.
I have a feeling that if I can't remember, the consequences will be dire...
...
A convoy of serious and imposing black cars drove up from a distance and then came to a steady stop at the foot of the mountain.
Every car in this convoy was a luxury vehicle, but not the kind with an exaggerated or attention-grabbing design. They were understated yet exuded arrogance, seemingly possessing an unspeakable intimidation that made passersby afraid to even glance at them, lest they offend some important figure they shouldn't.
Upon reaching their destination, the door of the lead black luxury car opened, revealing a long, slender, and supple leg. The person stepped down, revealing a delicate face. Without delay, she quickly went to the back seat, opened the door, and smiled, "Mr. Xing, we've arrived."
It was Zhuo Lu.
And Xing Zhicheng of the Xing family.
"Hmm...so fast?"
Xing Zhicheng opened his eyes, rubbed his temples, and after seeing his secretary clearly, smiled faintly: "You drive very steadily, so I couldn't help but fall asleep."
"This is what I should do."
Upon being praised like this, Zhuo Lu's cheeks flushed slightly. Overjoyed, she quickly said, "Mr. Xing, let's get out of the car first. Would you like something to eat?"
"No need, we need to hurry up the mountain, otherwise we'll have to spend the night there."
Xing Zhicheng shook his head, feeling a little more awake. He reached out to Zhuo Lu, who understood and took his hand as a support before stepping out of the car.
Xing Zhicheng let out a long breath and turned to look at the mountain in front of him, his expression complicated.
The person living here is an absolute big shot, even for the Xing family.
Offending someone from a fellow aristocratic family won't cause any trouble, because at the level of an aristocratic family, if someone wants to take action against another family, everyone has to think carefully about whether they can withstand the other party's counterattack.
But the one living on the mountain is different. If he offends her, Xing Zhicheng is sure that even if he is the third-in-command of the Xing family, as long as she says she wants his life, he will definitely not live to see the next day. The head of the Xing family will hold his head in his hands and personally come to the mountain to hand over his head to her.
No……
It wouldn't even take a day; the words were spoken in the morning, and he was going to die in the afternoon—there was absolutely no other possibility.
That's just how domineering and unreasonable they are.
Being domineering requires strength, and she happens to have it.
"Mr. Xing, we set off for Huizhou early this morning just to...climb the mountain? Does anyone live on the mountain?"
Zhuo Lu paused, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
They had only just arrived in Jiang City yesterday and had a lot of things to deal with, but Xing Zhicheng seemed to have no intention of caring at all. He led his people on a journey of hundreds of kilometers to Huizhou early this morning, just to climb mountains?
Why is that?
"Hmm, you're quite clever; you actually managed to guess the purpose of our trip."
Xing Zhicheng looked at Zhuo Lu with some surprise, and his impression of his secretary subtly improved.
He likes intelligent people.
"Let's go, we'll talk on the way."
Xing Zhicheng paused, noticing that the people in the vehicles behind him had also gotten off and were about to get on with him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Two people will be responsible for carrying the luggage. Everyone else except Zhuo Lu will wait here. We'll leave whenever we get back."
"yes!"
No one under him had any objections. These people were all Xing Zhicheng's loyal followers brought from Zhejiang City. They were Xing Zhicheng's old team, so even if they didn't understand Xing Zhicheng's ideas, they would still do as he said.
"You follow too."
Xing Zhicheng glanced at it, then turned and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
"Okay, Mr. Xing."
Zhuo Lu had more and more doubts, but since Mr. Xing had said they would talk about it on the way, she didn't want to ask any more questions. She gestured to the two people carrying the luggage to bring more water and then quickly caught up with him.
Although she didn't understand Xing Zhicheng's purpose in climbing the mountain, it was already close to noon, and it was the hottest time of the day. If she didn't bring enough water, she would suffer terribly.
Xing Zhicheng's speed wasn't too fast. After running and chasing at the beginning, Zhuo Lu was now able to keep her balance. The two of them strolled up the steps slowly, followed by two subordinates carrying their luggage.
Although Zhuo Lu was very curious, she noticed that Xing Zhicheng seemed to be enjoying his surroundings. She was quite perceptive, so she didn't ask directly and decided to wait for Xing Zhicheng to speak first.
The group remained silent, climbing for a while with their heads down. There were very few passersby around them anymore; it seemed that everyone preferred to choose the more crowded peaks.
"It seems like we're climbing Lotus Peak, which has the fewest visitors... but it doesn't look like we're going to the main peak. It looks like we're going to an undeveloped area. What exactly is Mr. Xing planning?"
Zhuo Lu was even more puzzled.
