Shen Yu came back around four in the afternoon and told Meng Tao that the signing ceremony was successfully completed. There would be a small celebration banquet at the office in the evening. He had already asked for leave, so the couple would not attend. Now he had to take his wife to a well-known hospital for a pregnancy test. After all, it was under this pretext. After that, he would take the time to play outside for a while and have a meal. He would return to Guangzhou secretly tonight.
This was the arrangement from above, because the "Big Golden Shark" was about to leave Jinzhai and rush to Gangcheng. He came here suddenly, probably because he knew that Shen Yu was now in Gangcheng.
Xu Hengkai and Meng Zhehan were waiting over there to close the net and catch the shark. Murong Shengjie also wanted to capture Shen Yu. First, he wanted to avenge Mu Wenxin, and second, he was still fantasizing about the treasure of the Murong family.
Of course Meng Tao was very happy to go out and play with her lover. Shen Yu took off his suit and changed into casual clothes, which was a light blue jacket, pink shirt and white trousers. He instantly transformed from a cool and domineering boss into a cute little puppy. Meng Tao couldn't help laughing and said that this look is the favorite of little girls in junior high and high school. I feel so pressured if you go with me.
Shen Yu was also speechless. The clothes were bought by his assistant. He just said that they should be casual and relaxed, but this is the result? He was too lazy to change again. He was in a hurry. Meng Tao just put on some light makeup and they went out.
When they arrived at the gate, Shen Yu helped Meng Tao into a black car. He drove the car himself. Meng Tao thought the car didn't belong to the office. Shen Yu said someone had sent it and they just had to use it and park it on the street after use and someone would take it away naturally.
"Is it that Boss Tang?" Meng Tao asked:
Shen Yu nodded, "Yes. I sent him a message last time, saying that I wanted to buy a property in Hong Kong. He showed me three places, a nine-story office building in Central, a twelve-story residential building in Kowloon, and a villa in Repulse Bay. So we have to hurry up and can only take a quick look. Once we feel satisfied, we can settle on it. Tang Shao will help us purchase it at the lowest transfer price, and he will find a lawyer to prepare all the certificates and property documents."
"That's fine. Anyway, if you buy a property now, you won't lose any money no matter how much money you spend. If you still have some left, you should buy it. Hong Kong's real estate industry was booming before the 1980s, and it's even more so since then. It's skyrocketing! Honey, we've made a fortune!"
Husband and wife, that's how people in the south call each other. Shen Yu smiled and held his wife's hand: "Should I call you wife, too?"
"It's okay if you don't shout."
"No, you've already called me old, so if I don't, wouldn't that be a loss?"
The two laughed for a while, and Shen Yu said, "Let's go to the hospital first, and then we'll go see the building when we come out. If you want to buy anything, just buy it on the way. Dinner will be at the Peninsula Hotel. Tang Shao will treat us, but he won't show up. We've booked a private room, and we'll order our own food."
"He hosted the party but didn't show up? Is there anyone who would host a party like this? He is indeed a mysterious boss with personality."
Shen Yu: "What mysterious boss? He just failed in plastic surgery and is too embarrassed to see people."
"Why plastic surgery? Does he look scary?"
"He used to look okay, but after a lot of fighting in the underworld, the scars on his face were enough to scare a child to tears. He also had many serious injuries on his body that caused him illness. He thought he might not live long, so he gave up on himself and didn't care about anything.
Later, after he took over the goods we gave him, he ate some and felt that his health was getting better. He didn’t want to die anymore, and he wanted to marry and have children so that he could live longer. So he went for plastic surgery to have a good-looking face. But plastic surgery takes time and requires quiet recuperation, which he couldn’t do. Whenever something happened, he would rush out, exposed to the wind and rain, and even fell into the sea to soak... Anyway, he had plastic surgery several times, and his plastic surgeon was about to cry."
Meng Tao was overjoyed when she heard this. No one else would dare to play around with plastic surgery like this.
The couple went to the hospital for a pregnancy check-up, and everything was normal. Then they came out to look at the buildings. The locations of the two buildings were very good. Currently, there were tenants upstairs, and the shop owners downstairs were doing normal business. After the purchase, they could collect rent directly.
Meng Tao expressed her satisfaction. In this regard, Shen Yu was absolutely a follower of his wife and would agree with whatever her wife said. The key point was that he also saw that this investment was indeed the right way to go.
While looking at the property, Meng Tao also bought a lot of things. It was not easy for her to buy too much yesterday with Dou Nannan, but today Shen Yu was with her, and Shen Yu asked the other security personnel to withdraw. Meng Tao started shopping. She bought whatever she thought was useful, including daily necessities, bedding, baby products, home clothes for the couple, and gifts for relatives and friends.
They didn't buy any jewelry. Both of them liked watches. Although department stores and Friendship Stores in the mainland also carry imported famous watches, the quantity is small and there is not much to choose from. Here, there are more styles. They spent tens of thousands of US dollars to buy two pairs of couple watches they liked, which made the boss very happy. He thought that this couple must be the young master and mistress of a wealthy family in Hong Kong, so he served them carefully and hoped that they would visit again.
After leaving the downtown, we went to Repulse Bay to see the villa. The villa was located halfway up the mountain, in a medium-sized courtyard with a solid wall made of large stones and a carved iron railing covered with green plants and tiny flowers. The main building was a two-story white building. There was about half an acre of open space in front of the building, all paved with bluestone bricks. The lawn, flower bed, and fish pond were all deserted. There was a large platform overlooking the bay, with a broad view and pleasant scenery.
The whole house is very old and has a heavy sense of age. According to the people who were waiting in the villa to accompany them to see the house, it was originally occupied by a family of four. When the two children grew up, they went to study abroad and settled down, and the two parents had to go with them and come back to visit from time to time. At first, they were reluctant to sell the house. After all, the location was good and they had lived there all their lives, so they kept it vacant, thinking that they could come back to live there for a long time someday. But as they got older, they could not come back, so the children decided to sell the house.
Meng Tao and Shen Yu decided to buy this villa. It will be vacant for the time being. If someone wants to rent it out, they can rent it out. When it is rebuilt in the 1980s, they can come and live here occasionally.
It was nearly seven o'clock when they left Repulse Bay. The couple drove to Victoria Harbour. Boss Tang Shao treated them to a meal. Although he didn't seem very sincere and didn't even show his face, they still had to eat.
Not only does one have to pay for food, but Shen Yu also said that the total payment for the batch of supplies from a few days ago was 10 million.
There were too many people trying to grab the goods, and there were still not enough to sell. Tang Shao was so anxious about this batch of goods that he threw them into the sea - the auction scene got out of control, and he and his men suppressed it with murderous intent, but he didn't get to keep anything.
After dinner, Tang Shao called, and Shen Yu took over and said a few words before handing the phone to Meng Tao. Tang Shao called "Hello, sister-in-law" on the phone and apologized to Meng Tao repeatedly, saying that sister-in-law, it was a rare trip to Hong Kong City and he should have treated her well, but... He told the truth aggrievedly: it was not that he did not want to come out, but Shen Yu did not allow him to come, saying that he looked too shabby and was afraid that his wife would lose her appetite after seeing him, and he was also worried that it would affect the appearance of the baby in her belly.
Meng Tao: “…”
"Why are you pretending to be pitiful? You took quite a lot! Since my wife knows everything, let's do this. The day after tomorrow, I will go back to Guangzhou City and find a way to get you some things to replenish your body. It's a little token of our love."
"Okay, okay! Thank you, thank you! Thank you brother, thank you sister-in-law!" Tang Shao's happy and excited voice could be heard through the microphone.
Meng Tao was speechless again. This person just called her sister-in-law and now called her sister-in-law. It was really confusing.
The couple walked out of the hotel, and two men in black suits came up to them. Not far behind them stood a group of strong men. The man in the black suit respectfully said to Shen Yu: The boss has ordered us to escort the couple back.
Shen Yu declined and asked the man in black suit not to follow him, as he and his wife had other private matters to attend to and did not like having anyone around.
The man in the black suit nodded in compliance, standing there and watching the couple's car drive away before leading his younger brothers away.
Shen Yu drove Meng Tao to the dock. They were going to leave the port city by boat at ten o'clock.
If you leave your items at the office, someone will help take them back.
The port city of that era did seem wealthier than the mainland, but it was far different from later generations. There were not so many high-rise buildings, and the bustling and prosperous scene with neon lights as bright as day was limited to a few main streets. Many places were also very old and dilapidated, and even the street lights in remote areas were not on, and there were almost no pedestrians. It still felt quite desolate.
Shen Yu did not drive in a straight line, but deliberately made a wide turn. He told Meng Tao: Someone had been watching him in the hotel and had been following him. Now there was a group of people coming from the front and blocking his way. It seemed that he could not leave without getting this resolved.
Meng Tao asked: "Is it a great golden shark?"
"No, it's Mu Wenlan." Shen Yu shook Meng Tao's hand and said, "Go to the back of the car later. Be careful to hide and don't look."
The old man had taught her to avoid bloody and violent scenes while pregnant, and he had tried his best to avoid them, but these people insisted on getting close to him, walking into their trap without even a chance to live. It was so annoying.
"Let me help you. They are attacking from both sides. There should be a lot of people. Do they have a wooden warehouse?"
"Yes, but there are only four short wooden guns. There are fifteen people in total. I can handle them all. Don't come out. Trust me."
"Then you have to be careful."
"clear."
Shen Yu parked the car and helped Meng Tao to the back of the car. Meng Tao took out two wooden guns. While checking them, Shen Yu told Meng Tao to go into the space and avoid the noise. He only needed ten minutes to finish.
Just as he finished speaking, headlights from the front and back swept over. Shen Yu opened the right door and got out of the car with a few bangs. The other side's headlights all went out, and it was pitch black all around. Shen Yu didn't know where he had gone.
Meng Tao was worried about Shen Yu, so she didn't enter the space. Instead, she lay in the back seat and listened to the noise outside.
The other party also opened the wooden can to fight back, but was quickly suppressed by Shen Yu. After a few screams, the sound of the wooden can stopped temporarily. At this time, a female voice came from the front. It was indeed Mu Wenlan. She shouted: "Shen Yu, you can't get away. I have people who will be there soon! Just put down the wooden can and we will talk..."
There was a sound of a wooden door, and Mu Wenlan fell silent, but a man shouted hurriedly: "Miss? Miss?! It's bad, the Miss is dying, hurry up and send her to the hospital, quickly!"
Meng Tao: Good job, well done! We can't let this poisonous snake Mu Wenlan go.
The sound of the wood being shoved continued for more than a dozen times. Shen Yu returned to the car and sat in the driver's seat and called softly, "Tao Tao?"
Meng Tao: "I'm here!"
"Hold on tight, let's go."
"Um."
On the way, Shen Yu said that except for Mu Wenlan and the few people holding knives and wooden warehouses, everyone else was only injured in the legs and could not run for the time being.
