Chapter 418: Chapter 418: The Richest Man’s Son

Discussing this point, Lin watched the departing figures of Zhao Wuji and Chu Ge, his eyes slightly squinting.

Given the Zhao Family’s status in Shanghai, there weren’t many who could make Zhao Wuji act respectfully. Yet this young man, appearing to be only in his twenties, had made Zhao Wuji treat him with the courtesy befitting a subordinate. Who exactly was this Chu Ge?

Lin stroked his chin, pondering, and didn’t hear Shen Mimi’s question.

Shen Tong was even more irritated. Although the elder had not come, as an elder attending such an occasion, it was clear that both Lin and Shen Mimi were in a relationship. Lin calling Zhao Wuji "uncle" was akin to a meeting between the elders of both families. But now he was left hanging, with no face to save.

What would his friends think if they heard about this? Wouldn’t they laugh him to death?

He wanted to show off in front of Chu Ge and Shen Yaoyao, but instead, he was the one who ended up embarrassed, which was truly...

As the atmosphere here gradually became bizarre, elsewhere it too became serious.

Chu Ge stood in front of the window, pinching an unlit cigarette between his fingers, gazing outside.

"Mr. Chu, I hear that Japan has made another move?" Zhao Wuji asked with some trepidation.

Chu Ge glanced at him indifferently, "You’re a bit out of the loop. That’s old news."

Zhao Wuji sighed, "After I heard, I immediately went to investigate and found a person - Honda Sakura."

Chu Ge rubbed his brows, slightly exasperatedly, "Honda Sakura is the lady of the Xiao Family in Su City. Officially, she’s the Xiao Family Head’s wife, but in reality, she controls the entire Xiao Family."

Zhao Wuji was startled, his mouth agape, suddenly at a loss for words. It seemed Chu Ge already knew all of this.

But thinking about it, in the whole world, there should be nothing that could escape Mr. Chu’s eyes.

"That’s right, don’t look at Honda Sakura just as a woman, but her capabilities are not to be underestimated."

Zhao Wuji pulled out a document from his chest pocket, a piece of paper filled with information about Honda Sakura, neatly folded.

He handed the information to Chu Ge, while gesturing for him to take a look, he said, "This time, the Yamamoto Eagle Faction wants to make a big play in Su City. They first sent a small team to scout, and now I’ve found they’ve dispatched more people on the way here."

Chu Ge glanced at the content of the document, his gaze landing on the last line, "Deadpool?"

Zhao Wuji nodded, his expression growing solemn, "Yes, I’ve found that Honda Sakura has raised a group of Deadpools in Su City, but I’ve just arrived and haven’t located where exactly she’s hiding them."

Chu Ge’s eyes narrowed slightly, dangerous glints flaring within, he had been busy dealing with the Tang and Shen Families’ affairs and had stood against Boss Ghost. He had actually forgotten to deal with Honda Sakura.

A woman who could make the Tang and Shen Families fight each other for thirty years must be extraordinary.

"By the way, there’s something else. Before I came here, Miss Ouyang entrusted me to bring you something. I’m not sure what it is, it’s at the hotel. I’ll get it for you later."

As Zhao Wuji spoke, his gaze gradually took on a significance, "Mr. Chu, are you and Miss Ouyang..."

Chu Ge looked at him puzzlingly, "What?"

Zhao Wuji sighed, "I’m older than you, I can see things at a glance. It’s obvious that Miss Ouyang has a thing for you."

Chu Ge was speechless, "Where did you get that absurd idea? Miss Ouyang likes me? How is that possible!"

Chu Ge threw his cigarette into the trash can, then turned around to sit back at the table. He pressed the service bell and said to Zhao Wuji, "Are you eating or not? If not, I’m going to order the food. I’m starving."

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji shook his head with a slight smile and also sat down.

After all, he was still preoccupied with the matter of the Deadpools raised by Honda Sakura. Deadpools are not like ordinary people; he hadn’t found out their exact numbers.

"Mr. Chu, have you been staying in Su City for some other reason?" Zhao Wuji asked out of curiosity.

Chu Ge grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the table, cracking them open as he spoke, "The reason I’m staying in Su City is that I’ve found a rich Spirit Vein here. Also, the First-level Earth Ganoderma I need will take another twenty days to fully mature, so I’m planning to make my breakthrough to Grandmaster right here in Su City."

Zhao Wuji knew that although Chu Ge had the strength of a Grandmaster, he hadn’t yet broken through that final barrier. Hearing that Chu Ge was going to make his Grandmaster breakthrough in Su City, even though he was not an Ancient Martial Artist and could not become one, he still couldn’t hide the excitement in his heart, looking at Chu Ge with excitement in his eyes.

"Mr. Chu is going to break through to Grandmaster?" Zhao Wuji’s voice trembled slightly, and he let out a breath filled with both envy and jealousy, "What a pity I can’t stay here to witness Mr. Chu’s breakthrough. I’m only here on a five-day leave. After that, I have to go to the Capital City for a meeting."

Chu Ge patted his shoulder, consolingly saying, "Actually, being an ordinary person isn’t so bad; there’s no need for fighting and killing. Enjoying a carefree life in the city is quite good."

Zhao Wuji knew he was being consoled. Being older, he wasn’t that sentimental anymore.

He smiled and didn’t say much more, instead, he asked with some concern, "Mr. Chu, how do you plan to deal with Honda Sakura?"

Chu Ge shook his head, "Right now, Honda Sakura is already in hot water. The first thing she needs to deal with is the internal affairs of her company, so she probably doesn’t have the time to come after me."

Chu Ge didn’t even know how he had become an enemy of Honda Sakura. Was it simply because he helped the Tang Family and the Shen Family foil her plans? If that was the case, he would be truly wronged.

At this moment, the waiter brought over the food, all of Su City’s signature dishes were placed in front of Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji was both embarrassed and annoyed—these people had no sense of propriety!

"Mr. Chu, please try this, these are all specialty dishes of Su City." Zhao Wuji discreetly pushed the dishes toward Chu Ge and said with a smile.

Chu Ge didn’t care for these details. He was really hungry now, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the greens. It was indeed different from the food he had tasted before in Su City, and it tasted quite good.

"Zhao Wuji, you’re not from Su City but you still know what the specialty dishes are?" Chu Ge asked in a teasing tone.

Zhao Wuji was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, "I’m not from Su City, my hometown is in Dang City."

Dang City?

Chu Ge looked up at him, and upon reflection, he remembered that Lin was the son of Dang City’s richest man.

Chu Ge asked with curiosity, "In Shanghai, your Zhao Family can be among the top five, but you’re not the richest family in Dang City? How come?"
