The guests and hosts bid each other farewell politely, with Wang Yongjin and Zhao Risheng still clinging to Chen Ke, reluctant to leave.
Qiu Dingxiong was anxious to see the lotus root starch and was waiting to decide on the next move. He immediately turned his face away and told Zuo Han to call the drivers. The group of people hurriedly dragged the two of them into the car.
Qiu Dingxiong and Wei Dafa and his wife agreed on a code for contacting each other by phone if needed. Meanwhile, Li Zhongxiao had already led a group of hotel staff to fill the trunks of several cars with salted fish and salted meat. Li Zhongxiao also specially stuffed a bulging box of lotus root starch into Qiu Dingxiong's hand.
"Mr. Qiu, please take this. It's custom-made by Lecofoo." Li Zhongxiao carefully reminded him from the side.
Qiu Dingxiong held the lotus root starch in his hand, and his smile immediately became lively.
"Oh, Mr. Wei, you're too kind. I can't accept this. You're wrong, you're really wrong. You can't do that again! I've arranged to meet with General Manager Tang from the Progress District. I'll give you a call." As Qiu Dingxiong got into his car, he gave Wei Dafeng a reassuring remark.
"Xiao Ke, what are you planning to do this afternoon? Do you want me to come with you?"
"Xiao Ke, where are you going? Let your brother see you off..."
Even though Wang Yongjin and Zhao Risheng were locked in the car, they kept fawning over Chen Ke. Zuo Han was afraid that Qiu Dingxiong would see this and get angry again, so he hurriedly told the driver to drive the car away. From a distance, you could still see the two of them sticking their hands out of the car window and waving at Chen Ke.
Wei Dafa stood by Qiu Dingxiong's car, the two whispering to each other like inseparable brothers. In reality, Qiu Dingxiong, emboldened by alcohol, was boasting about his deep connections in Huadu, but not a single word of value came out of his mouth.
Chen Ke was quite frightened by Wang and Zhao, and she was getting impatient with Qiu Dingxiong's endless boasting. When she saw Wang Yao and Zhang Ying slowly walking out, she couldn't help but move over to Wang Yao's side.
“Master Wang… please… I really…” Chen Ke looked at Wang Yao with a mournful face. “I… I don’t even dare to use my cell phone anymore. They call me over a hundred times a day, I… I really can’t take it anymore…”
As she spoke, tears streamed down Chen Ke's face.
"Don't worry, madam. As long as Master Wang takes action, everything will be fine." After seeing Zuo Han and the other two off, Li Zhongxiao ran to Wang Yao's side and said to Chen Ke with a smile.
Looking at Chen Ke's appearance, Wang Yao also felt a little sorry for her. However, he was not sure whether his method would work, so he did not dare to make any big promises and could only nod haphazardly.
"By the way, why was my uncle arrested three times? What exactly happened?" He was still worried about Zhen Huai and turned to ask Zhang Ying.
"Master Wang, come and take a look at this. I was so focused on Xiao Ke's ancestor's matter at the table that I forgot about this. Could you take a look at this personal master?"
Just as Zhang Ying was about to speak, Wei Dasong, having sent Qiu Dingxiong away, pulled out a cell phone and spoke enthusiastically to Wang Yao.
Wei Dafa pressed a button on his phone, and a beautiful nun appeared on the screen, smiling as she looked at everyone through the screen.
“This place is backed by mountains and faces a lake, and is originally a blessed land for accumulating wealth and prolonging life. However, the area outside the gate is wide open and lacks greenery and shelter, which can easily lead to the loss of wealth. The benefactor should do more to improve it…” the nun said crisply into the phone.
"What do you think? He points to exactly where things are, and his insights are almost identical to those of Master Ruyuan," Wei Dafa boasted to Wang Yao with great interest.
Wang Yao knew exactly what this thing was, but since he wanted Zhen Huai to be the good guy, he didn't say anything and just smiled slightly.
"It's a good product, but it still needs more testing."
"Of course, I've been trying this every day for the past two days. I was thinking of trying it out at dinner just now, but I didn't have time. Master Ruyuan said that this phone was developed by a research lab in Caidu. They don't have the money for mass production right now, so they're currently raising funds, and the terms are quite generous..."
Wei Dafa spoke to Wang Yao with an excited expression.
Not to mention that Wang Yao already knew it was a scam, even if he didn't know, he had no interest in it whatsoever. He was anxious to find out about Zhen Huai's situation, but he also guessed that Zhang Ying wouldn't be able to speak in front of Wei Dafa and Chen Ke, so he quickly interrupted Wei Dafa's rambling.
“Well… Mr. Wei, I came here as soon as I arrived in Huadu, and I haven’t even gone home yet. Could you ask Zhang Ying to accompany me back? I have some things that belong to my uncle, but now that he’s been arrested, I think it would be better to give them to Zhang Ying.” Wang Yao said to Wei Dafa.
“Uh…” After hearing Wang Yao’s words, Wei Dafa blinked and looked at Chen Ke. Zhang Ying was an employee of Chen Ke’s Lekoufu Hotel. Chen Ke was very wary of Wei Dafa interfering in hotel affairs, so he didn’t dare to answer Wang Yao immediately.
"I'm going to the city too, you can ride with me."
Chen Ke hurriedly agreed, opened the car door, and called Wang Yao and Zhang Ying to get in. Wang Yao had no choice but to get in with Zhang Ying, and together they drove into Huadu City. Meanwhile, Master Ruyuan, with a gloomy face, slowly emerged from the shadows of the hotel.
"What exactly happened to my uncle?" Sitting in the car, Wang Yao couldn't help but ask Chen Ke. Chen Ke wasn't as reserved as Wei Dafa, and wanting to please Wang Yao, she told him everything.
"It's true that our ancestor was in the police station three times. The first time was because of the foreign student incident. Although our ancestor didn't lay a hand on him, the foreign student was bitten by the centipede, and the security guards also hit our ancestor. So the police station still said that our ancestor acted in excessive self-defense..."
