Cao He didn't continue, but Hou Yifan and Li Quanyou both understood what he meant.
Even if Chuanliu reached some kind of cooperation agreement with them, and even if she had escaped the pursuit of Li Quanyou and Hou Yifan, it was likely with the help of these people.
Two fists can't fight four hands. Do you think these people can stay with her forever?
The walnut in Cao He's hand started spinning again.
It was as if that brief conversation had never happened.
Hou Yifan said, "Although Jiulong is dead, our cooperation will continue. For us, it's just a matter of changing our contact person. Once President Cao has finished handling his current affairs, we can resume business dealings at any time."
Li Quanyou added from the side, "Of course, if President Cao needs any help, my brother and I will definitely help within our capabilities."
Cao He nodded, but his expression did not lighten despite the two men's promise.
On the desolate plains, with the sound of two car doors closing, the two vehicles drove off in opposite directions until they could no longer see each other.
On the other side, the courtyard belonging to "Red Heart 9" in Red Peach Manor is still being cleaned.
Jihu originally intended to handle everything personally and minimize his interaction with Jiulong's former subordinates. However, after taking stock of Jiulong's two homes, he realized that dealing with everything alone was a pipe dream.
Although most of Kowloon's assets were taken away by senior management, reorganizing the real estate was still a physically demanding task.
If you had to describe Jiulong's household in one word, it would be "wealthy".
"Uncle Hei, thank you for troubling everyone so late. Actually, we could continue tomorrow."
"I'm embarrassed," said Jihu to Uncle Hei.
Uncle Hei scratched his head. "Hey, this is nothing. Let's hurry up and get the place tidied up so we can feel at ease sooner."
From Uncle Hei's perspective, working for anyone is still working, especially since this skinny young man in front of him has an incredibly good temper, which will make their work easier in the future.
At this moment, Wu Fangming led the "10 of Spades" team over.
Hacker Fox said happily, "Brother Wu, you've arrived."
Wu Fangming nodded. He looked around and saw Uncle Hei leading people to work, then nodded in relief.
He whispered to Jihu, "The girl said she was worried you'd get bullied, so she asked me to bring my brothers to give you some support."
Jihu glanced at the people in the courtyard. They were indeed somewhat flustered by the arrival of Wu Fangming's team, and their gazes toward him were much more respectful.
Extreme Fox said gratefully, "I was already content to regain my freedom, and now I'm even sitting in the 'Nine of Hearts' position. I... I really don't know how to thank you enough!"
Wu Fangming waved his hand and whispered, "We're all family who came to the island together, so let's not talk about these things. But remember what your sister told you: don't expose us to the public. Only by not attracting attention can we protect you from the shadows. We're just two strangers who came to congratulate you."
Jihu understood what Chuanliu meant and nodded.
After explaining everything, Wu Fangming added, "I have to go now, I won't stay any longer. If you encounter any trouble, remember to call me."
After speaking, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jihu, as if he had only come to congratulate him, and then led his team away.
After Wu Fangming left, Uncle Hei, his eyes darting around, walked over to Jihu's side. "Little Fox, was that the legendary '10 of Spades' just now?"
Jihu nodded. "He was asked by Chunling to see if I could get used to living here."
Uncle Hei opened his mouth wide in surprise, gave Jihu a thumbs up, and thought to himself: He's only just arrived and he's already gained Chunling's trust. It seems this young man can't be easily fooled.
After a while, Chuanliu walked in.
She was alone, making her appear quite isolated compared to Wu Fangming.
Therefore, the girl's appearance did not cause much of a stir in the courtyard.
Only occasionally would a couple of young men glance at the beautiful woman who walked in.
Uncle Hei had sharp eyes and soon spotted the girl. He walked over and looked her over.
For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity with the girl in front of him, but that feeling was fleeting, and his thoughts were interrupted by the girl's words.
"Hello, I'm here to see Jihu."
The girl's bright smile instantly dispelled the gloom that had hung over everyone after a long day of hard work.
Uncle Hei unconsciously smiled and asked, "May I ask your name? I'll go and inform... Master Fox."
“I am Chuanliu from the City of Blocks,” the girl replied.
Uncle Hei paused for a moment, then stammered, "Is it Lord 'Square 10'?"
The girl nodded.
Uncle Hei quickly and respectfully lowered his head, not daring to look at him any longer, "I'll be right back."
A short while later, Jihu came out, followed by Uncle Hei, who was jogging along.
Chuanliu gave her a look, and Jihu understood what she meant. "Uncle Hei, you can go ahead and get busy."
Uncle Hei nodded, said no more, and went back to work.
As Chuanliu and Jihu walked into the room, Chuanliu said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "It seems that Brother Fangming's visit was quite effective."
Extreme Fox chuckled, "That's because your name is powerful. You have no idea how Uncle Black reported it just now."
Chuanliu looked at him curiously.
The latter continued, "Uncle Hei just rushed into my room, stammering, 'The lord from the City of Cubes has arrived.' I never imagined that while I've been locked up for so long, you and Brother Wu have already made a name for yourselves."
Chuanliu smiled faintly, "Aren't you the same now?"
Jihu twirled his fingers and said embarrassedly, "Me? People outside say I'm a 'lucky charm king,' that I appeared out of nowhere, and some even say I'm Huang Chunling's illegitimate son. You know, it's not good to announce the system thing to the public, so I can't even defend myself."
Chuanliu chuckled, "That's fine. In that case, they'll be wary of Huang Chunling and won't dare to make things difficult for you easily."
The more outrageous the rumors outside become, the safer Wu Fangming and Chuan Liu, who are truly behind Jihu, will be.
As they spoke, the two had already entered the villa in the courtyard.
"By the way, are you just here to go through the motions today?" Jihu asked.
Chuanliu shook his head and said seriously, "I came here today to see if there are any clues here in Jiulong."
Extreme Fox asked doubtfully, "You mean there's a secret room here too?"
Chuanliu shrugged. "Maybe, but that's not what I meant."
Extreme Fox said nonchalantly, "I haven't finished packing up the things in the villa yet. Go find whatever you want, don't worry about me."
Chuanliu nodded and began searching quietly, starting from the first floor of the Jiulong Villa.
