C554 He Came Uninvited
"With your words, I'm relieved!" Mrs Gu saw that Wu Xu agreed to her request and heaved a sigh of relief. She stuffed the 50 thousand yuan she just took out into Wu Xu's hands and said, "I know that you use a lot of money. Take this money back..."
"Alright then. If you need anything, just call me." Wu Xu knew that it was meaningless to insist, so he put the money away.
After that, he stood up from the sofa and said goodbye to Mrs Gu before leaving the private room.
"What a good child. Why is Xiaohui so obsessed with Ma Junhao, that scumbag, and insist on divorce with him?" Mrs Gu looked at Wu Xu's back as he left and felt pity in her heart.
Although she knew that what Wu Xu said to her just now was completely used to comfort her, she still felt incomparably gratified that Wu Xu had such a heart.
...
"How can I help Gu Xiaohui and not let the Gu's Group go bankrupt?" When Wu Xu drove away from the Lucky Tea House, he had been thinking about the conversation between Mrs Gu and him.
He knew very well about his current situation and the current situation. He could not interfere in the business of the Gu's Group, even if he wanted to help Gu Xiaohui. However, he could not stand idly by about the matters of the Gu's Group. Thus, he parked the car at the side and made a call.
"Gu Xiaohui, Gu Xiaohui, for your father's sake, I can only help you with this. As for the rest, it will depend on how you deal with it..."
After Wu Xu exchanged a few words with the other party over the phone, he sighed from the bottom of his heart and drove away.
Suddenly, he remembered that after Zhang Mengmeng was kidnapped last night, Lin Xiaoman and Soong Zhe were killed to silence her, as well as the matter of him making enemies with Shen Ao and Lu Hu.
He thought that Shen Ao and Lu Hu would not let this matter rest. They would definitely take revenge on them, and he felt that his current residence was not very safe.
Afraid that someone would sneak into the villa when they were not home, Wu Xu drove to a camera store and bought a few pinhole cameras from there. Then he drove back to Fairview Harbor eighbourhoods.
He installed cameras around the villa that they lived in, as well as other inconspicuous places like the training room. After adjusting the monitoring equipment, Wu Xu called Ma Zhong and asked him about the Project Department.
When he found out that the Project Department's work was normal and that they were doing it in an orderly manner, Wu Xu decided to stay at home and continue practicing the Flying Dagger technique in the training room.
After lunch, Wu Xu walked into the training room and practiced the Flying Dagger technique that Ma Zhong had taught him.
Wu Xu was a genius in martial arts. After an afternoon of hard work, he had basically mastered the essence of using the Flying Dagger.
When the Flying Dagger was in Wu Xu's hands, it was as if they had a mind of their own.
He first stood three meters away from the wooden target. He increased the distance between him and the target by one meter. Finally, he stood eight meters away from the wooden target.
However, no matter where he was, he could accurately throw the Flying Dagger into the center of the target. Finally, he retreated ten meters away from the wooden target and threw the dart out.
This time, his success rate was only around ten percent. In other words, only one out of ten Flying Daggers could pierce into the bull's eye.
It seemed that there was still a huge gap between him and his master, Ma Zhong. If he wanted to catch up to Ma Zhong, or even surpass him, he would need to train hard for a period of time.
Even so, Wu Xu's rapid progress was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Wu Xu felt that it was about time for Ma Zhong to get off work and go home, so he stopped practicing. He decided to go to the market and buy some vegetables to go home and cook. He wanted to reward this master who taught him the ultimate skill of Flying Dagger.
However, as soon as he went out, a man in black came out from the grass in the green belt outside the villa. He walked into the practice room on tiptoes.
"Why is this kid's Flying Dagger skill so powerful?" The man in black looked at the dozen or so Flying Dagger that pierced into the bull's eye with a stunned expression. His heart was filled with fear.
Thus, he pulled out a Flying Dagger from within without revealing his expression, and placed it in his pocket. After that, he left the cultivation room without anyone noticing.
...
After Wu Xu went to the market to buy a silver carp, he went back home and went into the kitchen. He put on an apron and started to cook the dishes that he was good at -
Boiled fish slices.
Not long after, he made a delicious Boiled Fish Slices. He put them on the table and walked into the living room. He sat on the sofa and watched TV while waiting for Ma Zhong to come home for dinner.
Dingdong!
Suddenly, the doorbell rang in the living room.
"Doesn't Mr Ma have the keys to the villa? Why did he ring the doorbell?" Wu Xu was a little confused. He quickly stood up from the sofa and went to open the door to the living room.
Suddenly, he saw Ye Ping standing at the door of the room wearing a black professional suit. The fitting trimming revealed her curvy figure.
A rich fragrance emitted from her body. Wu Xu could not help but snort and ask, "Ye Ping, why is it you? Why are you here?"
Ye Ping said casually, "After I got off work, I had no place to go, so I came here to freeload and try your cooking. What's wrong? Are you not welcome?"
Wu Xu was not used to Ye Ping's uninvited way of doing things. He secretly hated that he should not have brought her home last night. He smiled coyly and said,
"Welcome, please come in!"
"Thank you!" Ye Ping smiled at Wu Xu and walked into the living room as if she had come to her own house. She walked to the sofa in the living room and threw her handbag on the sofa. She sat on the sofa and stood there blankly. Wu Xu looked at him in a daze and asked, "What delicious food did you make tonight?"
Wu Xu came back to his senses and walked to Ye Ping. He replied,
"Boiled meat!"
"Is that so?" Ye Ping said in surprise, "I like boiled meat slices the most. It seems that I really have an appetite tonight!"
Wu Xu sat beside Ye Ping and asked with a frown, "You came to my house tonight not just to freeload, right?"
"You are right." Ye Ping stopped smiling and said seriously, "Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on the company in the past and report to you about work?"
"Yes, why?" Wu Xu nodded.
"I came to tell you that the 'New Century City' project that our Gu's Group and the Yuanyang Group have collaborated on has been approved. Gu Xiaohui has entrusted this project to Ma Junhao." Ye Ping told Wu Xu everything that had happened in one breath.
Ye Ping's narration was similar to what Mrs Gu told Wu Xu in the private room of the Lucky Tea House this morning.
After Wu Xu heard it, he said gratefully, "As the saying goes, if you don't seek death, you won't die. Since Gu Xiaohui trusts Ma Junhao so much, let them torture you!"
"But..." Ye Ping was about to speak when she heard the sound of a key opening the door.
Creak!
The door opened with a creak.
"Clank, clank, clank." A voice that sounded like the sound of spring water could be heard from the door. "I'm back...!"
Wu Xu and Ye Ping looked at the door at the same time.
When he saw the person who appeared at the door of the room, Wu Xu felt a wave of nervousness in his heart.
