The Investors

Chapter 56: We're All Right

Cia Yonggan and Gao Mei Gui just entered Nanping City this afternoon. On the way, the two of them had agreed to meet Hao Zhao once they reached the city. And Gao Mei Gui has informed Hao Zhao of their arrival this afternoon via the WeChat app.

The reason for their arrival was, first of all, to inform Hao Zhao that the Cia Yonggan he had been worried about lately, had been found. The second reason, Cia Yonggan wanted to ask the King Palace Hotel Director to help him make a passport. With the influence of the name Hao Zhao, of course, the management of documents will be easier to complete, even during this weekend. The sooner Cia Yonggan has a passport, the sooner he can pick up Mo Kat's younger brother, Mo Xiaolian, to Bushan City.

As soon as Gao Mei Gui's car driven by Cia Yonggan was about to enter the underground parking lot, he was dismissed by two burly men dressed freely.

Cia lowered the car door glass.

The man bowed, looking into the car while asking. "Are you two Mr Cia and Miss Gao?"

"Yes, it was the two of us" Cia Yonggan replied.

"We are the bodyguards of Director Hao, and the arrival of the two of you has already been awaited by Director Hao. Let me deliver," said the man, giving his partner the code to take over the car that Cia Yonggan was driving.

Although this was somewhat surprising, but Cia Yonggan still behaved naturally. The director at his place of work sent people to greet them, this was a strange event.

They both got out of the car and followed the man into the elevator.

Gao Mei Gui glanced at Cia Yonggan with a look of admiration. Is Cia Yonggan's relationship with the director really as close as he is, so it should be welcomed all?

As soon as he entered the elevator, Cia Yonggan who noticed that not a single person who was usually dressed as a security guard was guarding around the entrance of the basement, asked the man. "Mr Guards, where are the hotel's security guards?"

"Ah, they.. They had left, rather forced away," there was a hint of an amused smile on the lips of the bodyguard as he said this.

How not amused to see Hei Laohu's people who went limping, even crawling from the 17th floor to the ground floor of this building by going down the emergency stairs. You can imagine how exhausting it is down the steps of the stairs that much, especially in a state of injury.

And the guards at the entrance to the lobby and basement also sprang to the streets as soon as they got the warning from the guards to leave the King Palace Hotel as quickly as possible.

As soon as the elevator stopped on the 17th floor, the bodyguard kept walking in front guiding the two young men, towards the VIP room guarded by two bodyguards. Inside the room whose door was not closed it had been waiting for Hao Zhao, Ou Julong and Guan Zheng.

"Director Hao, they have arrived" the bodyguard said.

"Aah! Come, take them in," Hao Zhao exclaimed in delight.

He hurriedly got up from his seat, followed by Ou Julong who also looked pleased. Guan Zheng did not want to miss standing up. Although Guan Zheng did not really recognize Cia Yonggan, but hearing Gao Li Li Liang's late son, Gao Mei Gui would come to visit here, it could be a reason for him to be happy.

A moment later Cia Yonggan and Gao Mei Gui appeared. Hao Zhao hunted forward and approached Cia Yonggan.

"Yonggan, are you okay?" he asked as he inspected Cia Yonggan's entire body, confirming the young man's condition.

"Director Hao, I'm fine," Cia Yonggan became caught off guard by Hao Zhao's treatment.

"Are you hurt by that Wei Chung?" disregarding anything else, Hao Zhao even went around the young man's body.

Seeing this, Cia Yonggan became amused. "Director Hao. What the hell are you doing here? Look, I'm still standing on both my legs."

Gao Mei Gui who had since entered this hotel had felt an oddity, suddenly cleared his throat. "Ehem."

Only then did Hao Zhao wake up. He shouldn't overdo this in front of the crowd, even though this Cia Yonggan is now a person that is considered special by his master Great Lord Shu.

"Eh, Miss Gao, good-bye.. I was worried about you, so I asked Ou Julong to bring you here," Hao Zhao said slightly bowing respectfully.

Gao Mei Gui also slightly bowed. "Director Hao, thank you for your concern."

Only now did Gao Mei Gui realize in this room were also Ou Julong and Guan Zheng. So he approached his two uncles.

"Uncle Ou, Uncle Guan," Gao Mei Gui said as she greeted the two middle-aged men.

"Mei Gui," Guan Zheng greeted back.

"Mei Gui, thank God you're fine, my nephew. Director Hao came up to you two on the slopes of Mount Mangdang, but you're gone. You two just make us parents anxious. There's nothing to be able to be news," said Ou Julong who like giving a subtle reprimand to Gao Mei Gui.

"Uncle, sorry... We.." said Gao Mei Gui trying to explain but she was out of words.

Fortunately Cia Yonggan suddenly stockpiled. "Uncle Ou, we just stopped somewhere, cell phones are not allowed there, so it's no wonder Mei Gui has forgotten her phone."

"What about you, Yanggan? Have you been there since two days ago, so you can't use your phone to get some news?" reply Ou Julong counterattacked Cia Yonggan with questions.

Cia Yonggan did not have time to defend himself, Ou Julong returned to find him. "And you have left my nephew alone in the corner without word. How do you explain this to me?"

"Uncle Ou, I'm sorry.. I'm.." Cia Yonggan cannot defend himself.

But Ou Julong still seems to not accept and want to continue his chatter. Lucky Hao Zhao swiftly cut Ou Julong's words.

"Ou Julong, if you're constantly angry like this, I'm afraid it will affect your wounds. Don't you want to come tonight?" said Hao Zhao.

Hearing this, Ou Julong so quashed his desire to continue lecturing Cia Yonggan. He had indeed volunteered to join the crowd at the end of the third battle of the underground society tonight.

However Gao Mei Gui who heard that asked in a worried tone. "Uncle Ou, are you hurt?"

Only now did Gao Mei Gui realize there was something different about Ou Julong. The way he stood was not as firm as usual, the man looked a little bent.

"Uncle is fine, Mei Gui, you take it easy," Ou Julong replied leisurely but still glared at Cia Yonggan.

Cia Yonggan who was glared at and realized Ou Julong was currently injured, and he could see from Ou Julong's mind, that the cause of the wound was to search for himself in Wei Chung's residence. He became unkind towards Ou Julong. This Ou Julong did look hard on the outside alone, but his heart was truly loving. Even to get a sharp weapon prick from people in search of him. And the reason for Ou Julong's annoyance was not because of his injuries, but because Cia Yonggan was lost without news, leaving Gao Mei Gui alone who never stopped worrying about him.

"Uncle Ou, Mei Gui, you forgive me. I don't mean to trouble you two" Cia Yonggan said regretfully.

"Aiya.. What's wrong with you guys? Comein. There's nothing we can talk about while sitting down," Hao Zhao melted the atmosphere between the three of them.

They sat on the sofa in the room. Hao Zhao as the host, sat on the single sofa facing the four people who were each seated on a long sofa. Cia Yonggan and her lover sat side by side, opposite Ou Julong and Guan Zheng

"Yonggan, Miss Gao, the situation outside at this moment is very chaotic. I had to keep you here for some time. I have told the hotel manager to vacate the two rooms next door for the two of you," Hao Zhao said.

"Thank you, Director Hao," Gao Mei Gui chimed in.

Without being said by Hao Zhao, he had actually understood the circumstances, ever since he was visited by Wei Heng last night, plus Mo Kat had previously told him everything.

But for Cia Yonggan who was already able to see the shadow of the plan that Hao Zhao was going to do tonight, it made the young man feel interested. He wanted to take part in Hao Zhao's plan. But there was no way he would express that wish in front of Gao Mei Gui.

"Director Hao, thank you for your concern for us" said Cia Yonggan. Then he turned to Gao Mei Gui. "Mei Gui, at King Palace Hotel there is a spa that can make the muscles relax. Didn't you feel aching because of the long journey?"

Hearing that Gao Mei Gui who had been sleep deprived for two nights, became happy. Indeed, since the departure of Cia Yonggan at that time made him think a lot, not to mention Mo Kat who invited him to travel a long way in the car, causing his body to become tired and less stamina.

"Really, Yonggan?" he sounds enthusiastic. His timpal. "I felt all over my body. Being able to relax for a while at the spa will certainly make my muscles relax."

Seeing Gao Mei Gui's reaction made Hao Zhao so happy. Can please the young lover who is noticed by his employer, certainly a reward for him.

"Of course, Miss Gao, you take it easy" he said. Then he added, "Let me call the hotel manager to take you there."

Hao Zhao then took a special communication device used between fellow hotel directors and pressed the button. A woman appeared in her early thirties.

"Director Hao, can I help you?" said the woman.

"Miss Gao, this is Huang Lanfen, he's the manager at this hotel. Manager Huang, introduce, this is Miss Gao Mei Gui, she is my guest," Hao Zhao said introducing the two women.

Gao Mei Gui stood up and greeted the woman who was replied by the woman with a friendly smile.

"Manager Huang, please take this Miss Gao to our beauty center and spa. Let him relax there before dinner" Hao Zhao said.

"Alright, Director Hao. Miss Gao, let's come with me" Huang Lanfen said, taking Gao Mei Gui away.

"Uncle Ou, Uncle Guan, I say goodbye. Director Hao, thank you once again," Gao Mei Gui said bowing to the men.

But Gao Mei Gui did not say goodbye to Cia Yonggan. He wanted to stay with that young man. Of course he meant he would go along with Cia Yonggan.

"Yonggan, come on," she reached out to her lover.

But before Cia Yonggan could answer, Hao Zhao had interrupted. "Miss Gao, you just go. I still have business with Yonggan. When you're done, we'll have dinner together, how?"

Gao Mei Gui glanced at Cia Yonggan. He still wished the young man to come with him. He could be left behind like yesterday.

"Ah, yes, right, did you forget, Mei Gui, I will ask Director Hao for help. You go calm your muscles for a moment. Let me take you to the front door instead" said Cia Yonggan.

Gao Mei Gui recalled, didn't Cia Yonggan want to ask Hao Zhao for help to take care of the passport making. Then he can understand. She and her boyfriend are still in the same building.

"Alright, then," said the girl resigned.

Cia Yonggan escorted Gao Mei Gui and Huang Linfen to the door of the room which was still guarded by two bodyguards. He re-entered the room as soon as the two slender figures disappeared at the end of the corridor.
