786: Chapter 786: Don’t Take Kindness for Weakness!

Coming out of the office.

Wu Jie immediately saw Kong Heng’s cold face.

Small-minded people just love to hold grudges.

During the last sparring session, when given face he didn’t want face, Wu Jie crushed his right hand to smithereens.

Had it not been for Doctor Huo Chengping’s superb medical skills, it would have definitely left a disability.

Yet he didn’t learn his lesson.

Just now, when he inquired about his good brother Shen Liang’s condition, Wu Jie evaded and didn’t give an answer.

Now… it’s obviously made him even more resentful.

But Wu Jie felt it didn’t matter.

As the saying goes, “The more famous you are, the more problems you attract!”

But I’m different from the rest.

The more people hate me, the happier I am.

I’d rather let down the whole world than have the world let me down!

What’s a Kong Heng in the grand scheme of things?

Wu Jie ignored Kong Heng’s piercing gaze, his lips curled into a smile, and he casually said:

“Wait for me downstairs, I’ll come down in ten minutes!”

“Yes!”

Kong Heng snapped to attention, saluting and quickly went downstairs with two guards.

Glancing at the retreating figures, Wu Jie smirked inwardly.

What’s the use of having a powerful grandfather?

What’s there to be arrogant about?

With just one sentence, don’t I make you salute me obediently?

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Wu Jie headed straight to the General Manager’s Office.

The handover ceremony was special, and Tang Xiao didn’t show up, but of course, she would be the one to keep the documents like the authorization orders.

“I’m about to set off for Qicheng.

You haven’t forgotten how to extract and synthesize the Detox Pill, have you?”

Tang Xiao pouted and said, “Don’t you trust me?

I’ve done the process several times already, definitely won’t produce any duds!

But Elder Tan sent you to Qicheng, who exactly are you going to talk to?”

Wu Jie shrugged his shoulders: “Doesn’t matter who I’m going to talk to, in the end, I’m sharpening my knife for the sheep and pigs!

If I don’t butcher them cruelly, how can I live up to my title as the King of Tricksters?”

As he spoke, Wu Jie muttered with an air of helplessness:

“This trip, who knows how many days it will delay…”

Tang Xiao’s ears instantly turned red.

…

Downstairs.

Inside the military green off-road vehicle with the red license plate.

After Zheng checked his watch for the third time, he looked at Kong Heng with a puzzled face.

“Are you sure your ears didn’t deceive you?

Are you certain he said he’d be down in ten minutes?

It’s been almost an hour now!”

Kong Heng replied truthfully, “He really said that, and these two heard it, too.

Why would I lie?

Perhaps something came up at the last minute!”

“What could be more important than going to Qicheng?

The chartered plane has been waiting at the airport all this time, and Elder Tan is also waiting in Qicheng.

This little brat…”

As Zheng spoke, he unconsciously looked up at the building and suddenly fell silent.

During the day, other office areas were bright and open.

But why was the General Manager’s Office curtain drawn so tightly?

His gaze shifted toward a spot not far away, where he saw Tang Xiao’s conspicuous white Mercedes G550 off-road vehicle.

“This damn kid, even if it’s a farewell… he should hurry up!”

Zheng went to pull out a cigarette and was about to light it, removing his mask in the process, but then he noticed that Kong Heng and the others were all wearing theirs.

The matter of the Detox Pill… hasn’t been lifted yet!

So… he naturally brought it to his nose before putting it on, took a sniff.

For an old smoker who can’t smoke, a sniff is not bad either!

“I heard that you once pursued Tang Xiao, didn’t you?”

With that statement, Zheng brought up an obviously sore point.

Kong Heng’s expression changed, flashing with a multitude of emotions.

“I…

That was something in the past.

Since she’s married Wu Jie, oh no, Minister Wu, then I wish her happiness!”

Zheng chuckled:

That sounded insincere, reeking of sour grapes!

“Ah!

Wu Jie, that bastard, is really not a good person!”

“Look at him, not as handsome as you, his family background not even close to yours, yet why did Tang Xiao fall for him?”

“Such a beautiful woman!

To speak unpleasantly, every time I see her, I wish I were born twenty years earlier!”

“It’s like a fresh flower planted on a dung heap, that Wu Jie, he’s really hit the jackpot!”

Zheng’s mocking words, like knives, poked at Kong Heng’s heart.

Direct hit!

Straight to the core!

It caused Kong Heng to bite down on his teeth involuntarily.

In his mind, Tang Xiao’s image involuntarily surfaced.

That peerless face, that unique temperament, that untouchable goddess allure…

Such a pity!

At this very moment, the goddess he used to daydream about could possibly be…

Sigh!

His eyes blazed like burning resentment.

Sitting up straight, his hands resting on his knees, were pressing down hard, very forcefully.

Zheng saw it all and couldn’t help but say:

“A real man should be able to take it as well as let it go!”

“Why pine over one flower when there’s a whole world of beauty out there?”

“Besides, your unattainable goddess might soon become someone’s mother, why hold on to her like this?”

Kong Heng managed to squeeze out a thin smile.

“I’m fine, I’ve already moved on!”

Zheng snickered: “You’ve moved on, my ass!

You weren’t even assigned to this escort mission, you requested it, why’s that?”

“I know entering the security bureau means no days off all year round.

You volunteered to come to Tianyuan, wasn’t it just to see Tang Xiao?”

“I did not!”

Kong Heng looked away, avoiding Zheng’s gaze, clearly lying.

“That’s good then!”

Zheng smiled faintly, put the cigarette back into the pack, and mumbled to himself as if talking to no one in particular:

“Appearances can be deceiving, and the ocean’s depths are immeasurable!

You’re too sharp-edged, learn a bit from Wu Jie, be more tactful!”

“How great his abilities are, does the world know?

How strong his background is, does he show it off?”

“Don’t be so arrogant and look down on people; he’s not some door-to-door son-in-law or a good-for-nothing pretty boy who lives off a woman!

Understand?”

Kong Heng humphed and did not speak.

It’s easy to drink a thousand cups with a good friend, but half a sentence too much with someone you don’t click with.

If advice is falling on deaf ears, then more words are pointless!

Zheng couldn’t be bothered to say more, so he put the cigarette case back into his pocket and leaned against the chairback to doze off and rest.

Kong Heng clenched his teeth tightly, occasionally looking up through the car window towards the building upstairs.

How he wished to see that long-lost great beauty once more.

Unfortunately…

The curtains were always closed.

Time slowly passed by.

Zheng had already taken a nap and upon awakening, he realized that Wu Jie had just come downstairs.

“Sorry, had a quick meeting and was delayed a bit!”

Zheng glanced at his watch and then at Wu Jie, who was glowing with vigor.

The fresh and apparent love bite on his neck was quite evident!

“Your quick meeting was really quite quick, almost two hours, huh!”

Wu Jie laughed heartily, got into the car, and seeing Kong Heng’s astonished look, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten his mask.

Zheng was about to continue mocking him but noticed this as well, and quickly found a mask, tore the packaging, and handed it to Wu Jie.

“Put it on quickly; don’t think there are no viruses just because we’re in the pharmaceutical factory area!”

Wu Jie put on the mask resentfully and casually joked:

“Don’t think a mask can bribe me; I’ve already noted your tattling!”

“Hey, you’re holding a grudge against me, huh?” Zheng snorted coldly, “Believe it or not, if we go to Qicheng, I’ll tell Elder Tan that we were late because you were busy having a ‘quick meeting’ with someone?

One that took two hours?”

…

As the two joked back and forth, Kong Heng’s heart almost shattered into a QR code.

The convoy set off, heading straight for the suburban military airport.

Before long, a jet plane that had been waiting for a while took off, speeding directly towards Qicheng.

This jet wasn’t like a private plane with bedrooms.

Besides the passenger cabin, there was also a highly secure conference room.

It was equipped with all kinds of communication facilities and was also capable of providing protection against biological, chemical, and radiation threats.

During the flight.

Zheng was receiving and decrypting a document through a specialized notebook using a secure network.

The document was actually a list.

Wu Jie glanced at it and saw that the ranks of those attending the secret meeting were not low at all!

And one of them was an old acquaintance…

Perrio!

The last time they met in Liuli City, Wu Jie couldn’t quite remember what they talked about.

But hating someone for five million energy points each time, that he remembered distinctly.

“Dammit!

This guy makes a fortune off a single hate session, but he can’t take a hard confrontation!”

“This time I run into him, I’ve got to be gentler!

Can’t just let him be so riled up he passes out again like last time!”

Mentally calculating, Wu Jie lost interest in the other international high-levels.

Anyway, he didn’t recognize them, hadn’t seen them before, couldn’t remember what they looked like just from their names; they were all old men and women.

“This secret meeting is of a very high level, you must be careful with your words when the time comes!”

Zheng suddenly spoke up to remind him.

“Last time you made Perrio faint twice from anger.

When you see him this time, you’ve got to be more polite!”

Wu Jie chuckled.

“Don’t worry, as long as they don’t reject what’s given, it’ll be fine!”

“You!!”

Zheng was somewhat speechless; he knew that his advice would be futile.

The nature of a person is hard to change!

With Wu Jie’s nature of tricking people without taking responsibility, it was impossible for him to change easily.

A few minutes later.

The list document self-destructed.

And after lunch, Zheng told Wu Jie to take a nap and rest, to gather his energy.

He was an experienced man!

He knew very well that for a young couple deeply in love, having a ‘quick meeting’ for two hours, Wu Jie must be exhausted.

…

At about two o’clock in the afternoon.

Wu Jie and his party arrived at an island across the sea from Qicheng.

The picturesque island was originally a super-large holiday estate.

Now the island had long been placed under martial law, and describing it using ‘five steps, one post; ten steps, one guard’ wouldn’t be an overstatement.

The grandiose and majestic buildings around the estate were scattered with bodyguards of high-level officials from various countries.

Wu Jie took a look; in the sweltering heat, they were all dressed in suits and carrying briefcases.

Could this be a trend?

That high-level bodyguards must dress like this?

Upon entering the building, Kong Heng no longer had the right to follow along.

Zheng accompanied Wu Jie upstairs to a study.

Upon entering, he saw Elder Tan poring over documents at his desk.

Looking up at Wu Jie, he chuckled:

“You’re two hours late compared to the time I expected you to arrive!

Everyone was waiting to have lunch with you, but we had to settle for afternoon tea instead!”

Wu Jie smiled awkwardly.

No wonder his system’s energy points had surged a good bit; he had stood up the bigwigs!

Such a lunch was not something everyone could attend.

And…

Wu Jie had actually missed it due to his lateness, how could that not make them feel jealousy?

“It’s okay, having dinner together is also quite nice!” Wu Jie boasted confidently.

Zheng stood by, smiling without saying anything.

Wu Jie’s ‘quick meeting’ had actually delayed a high-level secret meeting.

If this story got out, who would believe it?

After talking about the pandemic a bit more, Zheng excused himself.

Clearly, he wasn’t entitled to know the content of the conversation that was to follow.

Seeing Elder Tan’s serious face, Wu Jie knew the real crux was coming…
