Chapter 55: Century-Old Lingzhi
Superintendent Huang left defeatedly. He wanted to get on good terms with Tang Hao but was rejected.
Hu Dahai crouched on the ground, dejected, while touching his swollen face.
The crowd of villagers cheered and crowded around Tang Hao.
“Good showing, Lil Hao! Luckily you’re here today!”
“Lil Hao, so you’re really acquainted with Secretary Lin?”
The villagers were chattering eagerly.
“I guess you can say that I know him.” Tang Hao nodded.
“Whoa!” The crowd roared.
“You really know him! That’s great news, Lil Hao. If you’re acquainted with a VIP like him, you’ll achieve great heights in your future! Caifeng gave birth to a good son!”
“Lil Hao really changed. Not only he’s acquainted with a VIP, but he also knows kung fu!”
The villagers talked about him with an equal mix of admiration and pride.
Shi Yan’er stood beyond the crowd and looked at him with puzzlement.
When they met earlier, she thought that they were in the same predicament. She did not expect that he had become a great person. She felt happy for him, but at the same time, she felt inferior.
After Tang Hao dealt with the villagers, he squeezed his way through the crowd. He noticed the bunch of hooligans helping Hu Dahai get up and prepare to escape from the scene.
“Boss Hu!” Tang Hao yelled.
Hu Dahai trembled. He replied fearfully, “What… What more do you want?”
Tang Hao broke into a cheeky grin. “Don’t you want your money?”
“I… I don’t want it anymore!” Hu Dahai’s head was shaking like a rattle as he prepared to leave.
Three cars appeared at the village entrance. The one leading the way was a luxurious Rolls Royce Phantom.
The cars drove past the bridge and stopped. Liu Dajun got off the car. In his hand was a briefcase. He led a group of people in business suits and went over to the crowd.
Hu Dahai was shocked when he saw that.
The Rolls Royce Phantom was famous in Westridge District. It was the ride of the president of Brilliant Property.
‘That’s President Liu? He shouldn’t look this thin though? Why would he be at this run-down mountain village anyway?’
Hu Dahai was puzzled. He was about to open his mouth to greet him when he saw Liu Dajun waving toward their direction and shouting, “Lil Tang, your big brother is here. I’ve brought your one hundred and fifty thousand yuan.
“By the way, who’s the hooligan that’s giving you trouble? Let’s see how I’ll deal with him!”
Hu Dahai’s vision went blank when he heard that. He nearly fainted.
‘Oh my god! Are my ears deceiving me? The president of Brilliant Property calling a village kid his little brother?
‘Who is this kid anyway? Not only he knows Secretary Lin, but also President Liu?’
He lowered his head even more as he tried to sneak away from the side of the road.
“There he is, Big Bro Liu! Just hand the money to him,” Tang Hao pointed a finger at Hu Dahai. Then he added, “Right, his name is Hu Dahai.”
