Chapter 81: The Enigmatic Dream—Tempest and Reverie, Part II
He Zhi Xing welcomed all comers, embracing one on each side, his hands wandering restlessly. Just as he was about to give in to temptation and carry Hou Juan into the bedroom, the girl slipped away with the grace of a water snake, glancing back at him with a coquettish look. “Brother, I’m hungry. Can we eat first and then finish what we started?”
He Zhi Xing could only reply helplessly, “Alright.” How could he say no? The mood had been broken, and he could only wait until after dinner.
Hu Li, seeing He Zhi Xing reaching for her hand, quickly protested, saying not now, but after dinner. He Zhi Xing had to let her go help Hou Juan in the kitchen, frustrated that neither woman would give in to him at that moment.
After dinner and a bath, the three finally intertwined, losing themselves in the tender embrace of passion. He Zhi Xing treated Hu Li gently, mindful of her pregnancy, and didn’t stop until both women were satisfied. Only then did they nestle in his arms, drifting into sleep together.
Early the next morning, He Zhi Xing left the house, driving to the hotel where he found Jiang Chun Mei and Lian Ya Qiang. The three of them drove straight to the New Garden District on West Ring Road, where they met the owner of the building to officially discuss renting three floors. After tough negotiations, they settled the rental at forty-nine thousand eight hundred for three floors, with a contract term of twenty years. The agreement would take effect in a month, and the owner promised to clear out the old tenants from the first floor within that time.
During this period, He Zhi Xing and his companions could start renovating the second and third floors. After signing the lease at New Garden District, he drove them to the next location, Yingjing District on South Second Road. There, too, they settled the rent at forty-eight thousand, with the contract to begin in a month. Leaving Yingjing District, He Zhi Xing soon realized they were being followed.
He instructed the other two to focus on finding renovation workers, handing them a bank card with five hundred thousand on it, telling them to handle the renovations for the new supermarkets as quickly as possible.
Driving into a hotel parking lot, he asked, “Do either of you know how to drive?” Both replied no.
He Zhi Xing said, “Someone’s following me. Stay here for now, don’t leave. I’ll leave my car here, and you call Hou Juan to come get it. I’ll lead them away. Remember her phone number, 138007… Don't look for me. I’ll find you when it’s safe.”
As he finished speaking, his car stopped in the parking lot. He asked again, “Did you remember the phone number? If you have any issues with the supermarket, discuss it with the two of them. And tell them not to worry about me.”
They nodded in acknowledgment. He Zhi Xing quickly opened the car door and strode toward the hotel entrance. Just as he was about to leave through the main door, he saw the car that had been following him coming in, the hotel security directing their vehicle to a parking spot. He Zhi Xing hurriedly slipped out through the gatehouse at the main entrance.
The people in the car saw He Zhi Xing leaving through the gatehouse. One of them said, “Master, he’s escaping on foot. Let’s reverse and chase him.”
He Zhi Xing also saw the five men inside. Apart from the driver, he recognized the other four: Liu Tian from the Miao village, his shaman father, a one-handed uncle skilled in acupoint techniques, and the uncle’s master. The speaker was the one-handed uncle.
He Zhi Xing broke into a sprint as soon as he left the hotel, running so fast he outpaced even trained athletes. Passersby barely caught a glimpse of him, only seeing a shadow flash past—such was his speed.
Just as he turned into a less crowded alleyway, the car sped up and caught up with him, stopping right in front of him. Four men quickly got out and surrounded him.
