Chapter 748: Chapter 696: Means

Regarding this trip, she was extremely dissatisfied; however, to compensate for the loss, she still published Alice’s itinerary. The aim was to garner some popularity in this country, providing a form of consolation.

“Miss Alice, could you give us an autograph? We’re your devoted fans.” Before Alice could respond, a fleet of ten red Ferraris came to a steady stop in front of her, and a few young men stepped out, gazing at Alice with somewhat crazed expressions.

“I’m sorry, I have things to attend to,” Alice said with a slight frown, politely declining.

“Damn, ten red Ferraris—that’s way too rich!” numerous onlookers commented in astonishment.

“If I could get Miss Alice’s autograph, I’d consider it worth it even if it cost me my entire fortune,” a voice suddenly sounded amidst the crowd, deeply resonating with the bystanders.

They were all fans of Alice; in both figure and appearance, she was absolutely the epitome of feminine perfection. A global magazine once proclaimed, “Alice is a work of art crafted by God’s very hands.”

For such a possessor of beauty, inciting fan frenzy was hardly surprising.

“Gen Zhao, that wastrel! If driving ten Ferraris could get Alice’s autograph, she would’ve been signing autographs until her hands cramped up long ago,” muttered Zhang Fan dismissively from a corner of the crowd, eyeing the showy young man at the center of attention.

Residing in the same Provincial City, it was not odd for Zhang Fan and others to know this prodigal son—as far as Liu Hun was concerned.

“I’m curious; she’s just a celebrity. Does she warrant such madness?” Liu Hun looked at Zhang Fan, Cheng Feng, and Xu Shimin with some confusion. All three came from influential clans, yet facing Alice, they appeared just as crazed as the other fans.

“Boss, that’s because you don’t understand. Alice is a work of art created by the hands of God. For such a woman, she is the most perfect goddess in the minds of people all over the world. Even though she is to be admired from a distance and respected, to lay eyes on such an impeccable woman at least once in a lifetime makes it all worth it,” the usually reticent Cheng Feng couldn’t help but remark with emotion.

“However, today we must thank the boss for bringing us here; otherwise, we would’ve missed this opportunity,” remarked Xu Shimin, who had overcome his previous resentments through the day’s familiarity, sucking up to Liu Hun.

In response, Liu Hun gave Xu Shimin a sidelong look and said, “Old Xu, you don’t seem like the boot-licking type; today’s behavior is rather unexpected.”

If Liu Hun had made such a comment before, Xu Shimin might have felt a bit embarrassed, but brown-nosing was normal for someone who had won the sincere admiration of Cheng Feng and Zhang Fan.

“I’ve always preferred to speak frankly,” Xu Shimin laughed.

Ding-ling-ling…

As the group was talking, Liu Hun’s phone suddenly rang with an ill-timed sound. After all, everyone was excitedly focused on Alice at the moment—if Liu Hun had something to attend to, then they might also miss out on seeing her.

“Hello, I… I’ve arrived at Southeast Airport…” No sooner had Liu Hun pressed the answer button than Alice’s voice trembled through the phone.

Throughout the years, she hadn’t even known Liu Hun’s name, but in her heart, his stature remained unparalleled.

“Alright, I know,” Liu Hun said indifferently.

Hearing Liu Hun’s words, Alice felt disappointed; she had fantasized about this moment countless times throughout the day. Calling Liu Hun right after getting off the plane, only to receive such a casually indifferent reply, how could she not be disappointed.

“I thought you would come here privately; I didn’t expect it to be so high-profile,” Liu Hun’s voice came through again just when Alice was feeling down.

Hearing this, Alice removed her sunglasses, and her exquisitely beautiful cheeks flushed with a bit of panic, “I… I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional…”

Alice’s voice on the phone wasn’t loud, but the tens of thousands of surrounding fans fell silent because she was making a call, careful not to disturb the perfect goddess in their hearts.

Yet, this supreme goddess, making a phone call, appeared like a child for a moment, causing all the fans’ faces to show a trace of anger.

Who could it be? To make their goddess look so aggrieved was simply unforgivable.

“Miss Alice, if you need any assistance, please just say the word. I, Geng Zhao, may not be much, but I still wield some influence in this city,” Geng Zhao dared to say after Alice had hurriedly called Liu Hun, momentarily forgetting to have the police escort him away, therefore he faintly discerned from Alice’s subtle mannerisms that the person she was calling was definitely a man!

This was something Geng Zhao couldn’t stand. In his heart, such a perfect goddess was not to be desecrated, even by him, let alone any other man.

“Shut your mouths, get them out of here; I never want to see you again!” Alice shouted loudly to the policemen nearby, angered as soon as she heard Geng Zhao’s words, her beautiful eyes displaying a flash of indignation.

“I’m… I’m sorry, I wasn’t referring to you, it’s because of a few fans, so…” After Alice had just scolded Geng Zhao and the others, she hastily explained to Liu Hun over the phone.

Her demeanor was like that of a little girl who had done something wrong, unintentionally eliciting a twinge of compassion.

Liu Hun, who was in the corner, had just watched Alice’s demeanor, and although he was slightly stunned, he now looked at Alice as if she were a memory from his childhood, with the corners of his mouth involuntarily turning up into a small smile.

“Alright, it’s okay. You should already have your accommodations arranged, right? Text me the address later, and I’ll come to find you. With all these people around, if I came out to meet you, I’m pretty sure your fans would tear me to shreds,” teased Liu Hun.

“Um… Well… I’ll wait for you at the hotel.”

After hanging up the phone, Alice immediately looked around. From the conversation she just had with Liu Hun, she knew he was somewhere nearby, but the area was so crowded with people that it was impossible to tell which one was Liu Hun.

Remembering how Liu Hun had just spoken to her so much and so gently for the first time, a blissful smile couldn’t help but appear on Alice’s face.

After asking her agent about the location of the hotel, Alice began tapping on her phone, sending the address to Liu Hun.

Words spoken without intent can be heard differently by those who listen with intent.

From the way Alice mentioned the hotel, especially while in the country, it was easy for people to associate it with adult-related activities.

After all, if it were two girls, they normally wouldn’t choose to meet at a hotel.

Thinking of this, all the fans in the venue plunged into madness. As soon as Alice left, thousands of cars followed behind hers.

The traffic in the massive Provincial City was completely paralyzed by this procession of thousands of vehicles, creating an unprecedented situation that hadn’t occurred in decades.

As the person at the heart of this event, Lau Hun casually leaned back in the passenger seat, playing with his phone.

“Boss, who are you going to meet? You’re being so secretive,” Xu Shimin leaned forward from the backseat, asking curiously.

“Yeah, Boss, it’s good Alice just left; otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone even if you killed me,” Zhang Fan said with some regret.

“Boss has his reasons for doing this. We’ll know when the time comes,” Cheng Feng said somberly.

Among the three of them, Cheng Feng was the most mature and experienced, while Zhang Fan was the playful and naïve type, and Xu Shimin was the typical spoiled rich kid with a bit of craftiness.

Their combined personalities actually suited Liu Hun quite well.

“Boss, because of Alice, the entire city’s traffic is jammed. It’s going to take us some extra time to get there,” Cheng Feng said, looking at the congested traffic ahead, his face the picture of helplessness.

“It’s fine. The whole point of bringing you guys out today was to relax. After today, you’re going to be busy,” Liu Hun said with a smile.

At first, Cheng Feng estimated that the traffic jam would only last for a couple of hours, but it ended up lasting an entire day.

By the time Liu Hun and his group arrived at a five-star hotel, it was already night.

Seeing the vast crowds and vehicles stretching for kilometers around the hotel, Liu Hun and his group couldn’t help but have a few metaphorical dark lines appear on their foreheads.

“Boss, don’t tell me the hotel you’re coming to is the same one where Alice is staying?” Zhang Fan suddenly thought of something and got a bit excited.

If that were true, then he might still have a chance to see Alice…

“Let’s go,” Liu Hun said calmly, without answering Zhang Fan’s question.

“Sir, I apologize, but our hotel has been booked out, so we are currently unable to provide rooms for other guests…” As soon as Liu Hun and his group entered the lobby, a middle-aged man in a suit came up to them, looking apologetic.

Liu Hun, of course, understood that the rooms must have all been booked by Alice. With a status like hers, money was no longer significant; what mattered was minimizing disturbance.

“Hey, isn’t that Young Master Zhang and Young Master Cheng? What, are you guys also planning to see Alice? Considering we’re all fans of Alice, I would advise you two that meeting her isn’t as easy as you might think.” Before Liu Hun could speak, a loud voice came from behind him.

Turning towards the voice, they saw Geng Zhao and his group looking at them with mocking expressions.

“Geng Zhao, what I’m doing here is none of your business. Are you saying you haven’t had enough from the beating I gave you last time?” Zhang Fan’s face flushed with anger upon seeing Geng Zhao.

“Zhang Fan, I’ve kept our last encounter in mind, and I hope one day you don’t fall into my hands!” Geng Zhao couldn’t hide his embarrassment after Zhang Fan brought up the past, speaking coldly.

“Geng Zhao, if you use any more underhanded tactics, don’t blame me for not being polite!” Cheng Feng’s face was also frosty as he stared at Geng Zhao.
