Chapter 662 I Was Deliberately Deceiving Them

Thirty minutes later, Wang Chao opened his eyes and lowered his crossed legs.

"Brother Wang, you're awake," Shen Bing said with a smile. "How do you feel now? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

When she saw Wang Chao coughing up blood earlier, her heart had been in her throat, worried about his condition. But now, seeing Wang Chao awake and looking so healthy, she felt relieved and let go of her anxiety.

"I'm fine," Wang Chao replied. He stood up and walked over to Shen Feng's side, saying, "In reality, you don't need to worry. I only pretended to deceive them because I had consumed a lot of Genius Qi while treating Shen Feng. I was worried that those people would forcefully intervene, so I deliberately misled them."n--0VeLbIn

"In fact, this acupuncture technique didn't harm Shen Feng at all. Once they removed the needles, the spirit bug might have died and then revived."

"Fortunately, those people were intimidated by my bluff and didn't make any reckless moves. They were fooled by me."

"Brother Wang, if the spirit bug has already been eliminated, why hasn't Shen Feng woken up yet, and why does he seem to be in some pain?" Shen Bing asked.

Shen Feng was still unconscious, and his fists remained clenched, appearing to be in discomfort.

Wang Chao remained calm and explained, "Don't worry; this is a normal occurrence."

"The spirit bug was dispersed by my acupuncture needles and transformed into pure energy, commonly referred to as spiritual energy."

"This energy is dispersed within Shen Feng's brain, nourishing it, and then slowly spreading throughout his body, improving his overall condition."

"It's a process of the body digesting and absorbing spiritual energy, and it will likely take two to three days before he wakes up."

Upon hearing Wang Chao's explanation, Shen Bing and Zhang Long felt relieved and at ease.

Liu Yifei watched Wang Chao and Shen Bing, wanting to say something, but a phone call came through. She had to step aside to answer it. "Mr. Joseph, do you need something?"

She chatted with Joseph over the phone for a while before hanging up. She returned to Shen Bing and Wang Chao, her expression serious. "Bingbing, Joseph just called me."

"What's going on?" Shen Bing asked.

"He said there's been a change of plans. The medical conference will be held the day after tomorrow, and there's a reception tomorrow night. He wants to introduce you to some of his business partners."

"Why didn't he call me directly?"

"Your phone was turned off."

Hearing Liu Yifei's words, Shen Bing was startled. She quickly took out her phone and checked. It was indeed out of battery.

"Bingbing, Shen Feng is safe now, but this estate isn't secure. I think it's best we go to Joseph's place; it's safer there," Zhang Long suggested.

Without Wang Chao here, they had been instructed to stay in this location.

Joseph was their friend, and transferring Shen Feng to Joseph's place would be much safer.

"No problem, let's go to Joseph's place. Uncle Long, please arrange for a car," Shen Bing nodded.

Zhang Long was delighted and immediately picked up his phone to contact their motorcade.

Not long after, Zhang Long had confirmed the information about the motorcade. He relayed this to Shen Bing, Wang Chao, and the others, asking, "Wang Chao, when do you think it's a suitable time for us to leave?"

Wang Chao wiped the blood off the acupuncture needles, put them in a bag, and placed them in his pocket. He casually replied, "Anytime works for me."

With the help of the pill he had taken earlier, his strength had mostly recovered. Unless formidable and mysterious experts arrived, he was confident he could handle the situation.

At present, the Red Robed Enforcer, Chi Long, Lucifer, and others were all injured or frightened and wouldn't come back anytime soon.

Thinking it over, the only enemies left in White Eagle Country were Bernard's family. However, even if they were formidable, they would probably be at the Great King level at most. Wang Chao's strength, after his recovery, was more than enough to crush Great King-level opponents without any worries.

As they packed their things and prepared to take Shen Feng away, suddenly, a person walked in with a beaming smile. He warmly looked at Zhang Long and said, "Brother Long, it's been a long time."

It was none other than the owner of the estate, Michael Kay!

After Michael Kay arrived at the estate, he looked around and immediately asked with a puzzled expression, "I just got back here. What's happened? Did a tornado pass through?"

"Really, why are the rooms so rundown? What are those people in the estate doing?"

He took out his phone, dialed a number, and shouted angrily, "Send someone to repair Room 303 quickly, bunch of good-for-nothings!"

He hung up the phone and then put on a smile, saying, "Brother Long, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect the staff to be so careless."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to reprimand them later."

He repeatedly bowed and apologized to Zhang Long.

At the same time, he cast an enthusiastic, inquisitive, and fearful gaze toward Wang Chao.

The next moment, he looked at Wang Chao with an extremely fanatical expression, as if he was seeing a treasure, and his eyes sparkled.

As the owner of the estate, he naturally knew everything that was happening here and was aware that the person who had driven away the Red Robed Enforcer and the four Great King-level experts was Wang Chao.

Wang Chao, who possessed such incredible strength, was undoubtedly more terrifying and prestigious than the Red Robed Enforcer. He was undoubtedly a god-tier figure.

If he could become friends with Wang Chao through Zhang Long's connections, he could gain favor with a god-tier figure. His prestige and status within his family would skyrocket.

So, immediately after the Red Robed Enforcer and the others left, he rushed over here to meet and ingratiate himself with Wang Chao.

"You just got back?" Zhang Long stared at Michael Kay, his eyes unkind.

Zhang Long's gaze was cold and stern, as he didn't believe a word of Michael Kay's story.

He had informed Michael Kay and even had him arrange accommodations before their arrival. He couldn't have missed their arrival, especially with all the commotion that had just occurred in the estate.

Michael Kay's statement that he had just returned and didn't know what had happened was a blatant lie.

"Yes, when you checked in, I went out for a moment. When I returned, I found it like this," Michael Kay nodded and then looked at Zhang Long, Shen Bing, and the others with a face of concern. "What happened? Are you all okay?"

"We're fine," Zhang Long replied casually. He could tell that Michael Kay was talking nonsense, and nothing he said was true.

When they were in danger, Michael Kay was nowhere to be found, not even a trace of his presence.

Now that they were out of danger, Michael Kay was coming to play the good host.

This behavior was undoubtedly an example of fair-weather friendship. Previously, Zhang Long had naively considered Michael Kay as a friend, thinking that with his help, bringing Shen Feng to this place would make his recovery easier and safer.

However, he hadn't expected Michael Kay to be this kind of person, a fair-weather friend who changed sides as soon as things went south.

Such people weren't worth deep bonds.

Wang Chao lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and calmly watched Michael Kay's performance.

Shen Bing and Liu Yifei also stared at Michael Kay, their eyes showing varying levels of suspicion.

All three of them were highly intelligent individuals who immediately saw through the inconsistencies in Michael Kay's story. They didn't believe a word of what he was saying.

"It's good that you're fine," Michael Kay said with a smile. He heaved a long sigh and then continued warmly, "Wait a moment. I'll send someone to prepare the best room for Shen Feng. Let me count the time. Everything should be prepared by now. I'll take you there."

"No need," Zhang Long said.

Michael Kay's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Leaving? Don't, Brother Long, our estate is famous for its medical facilities in White Eagle Country. I promise you, an incident like today will never happen again. This time, I'll arrange the best room for you. It will be highly private, with no danger, and no one will discover your whereabouts."

He even grasped Zhang Long's shoulder with enthusiasm, insisting that they should stay and recuperate here.

Zhang Long looked at Michael Kay's insincere expression and felt increasingly disgusted. Despite his internal discomfort, he remained composed on the surface and said, "It's not just because of this incident, but mainly because our Chairman Shen has a conference to attend."

"If we don't leave now, we might not make it to the meeting."

"That's right, the place we need to go is quite far," Shen Bing added.

"In that case, leave the patient here. Our estate has the best medical staff in White Eagle Country, and I guarantee they will take excellent care of the patient," Michael Kay urged.

If Shen Bing, Wang Chao, and the others all left, he knew he might not see Wang Chao again.

He had to keep Wang Chao here!

By leaving Wang Chao and his group here, he could develop a closer relationship with them in the future.

Zhang Long, looking at Michael Kay's "enthusiasm," slightly furrowed his brow, and then said, "Michael Kay, we're friends, so I won't hide it from you. In fact, Chairman Shen's illness has already been cured."

"After our Chairman Shen finishes the conference, we will return directly to our home country."

He stated this so bluntly that it was evident that they were asking him to leave.

Michael Kay raised his eyebrows, sensing that Wang Chao and the others had made up their minds.

If he insisted further, their relationship might truly deteriorate.

His mind raced, but he soon smiled and said, "I see. In that case, I won't insist. How about this, I'll find a car to take you wherever you're going."

"Michael Kay, there's no need to trouble yourself. We've already arranged for a car," Zhang Long replied.

Upon hearing this, Michael Kay's expression shifted slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and calmly said, "That's quite alright. I'll take you."

Zhang Long had initially intended to refuse, but he was silently encouraged by a glance from Wang Chao, realizing that this would be a quicker and smoother way to part ways with Michael Kay. He smiled and said, "Sure, help us carry some of our things. We've got quite a bit of luggage."

"No problem, I'll help you with the luggage," Michael Kay said enthusiastically.

With that, he immediately walked to a corner and picked up the suitcases there, showing great enthusiasm.

Shen Bing looked at Wang Chao.

Wang Chao shook his head.

Helplessly, Shen Bing allowed Michael Kay to proceed.

The group packed their things, with Zhang Long carrying Shen Feng on his back, Wang Chao and Michael Kay carrying the suitcases. They walked out of the estate.

As they appeared at the estate's entrance, a van was waiting for them.

Wang Chao and the others loaded all the suitcases into the van and then boarded the vehicle. Finally, with a wave from Michael Kay, the van left the estate.

Michael Kay continued to wave until Wang Chao and the others' vehicle disappeared from sight. Then, he concealed his smile, and his gaze turned incredibly cold. He muttered to himself, "Zhang Long, oh Zhang Long, you're just a small War-God-level expert, and you dared to give me attitude!"

"If it weren't for Wang Chao being here, I would have thrown you out a long time ago."

He was considered a prominent figure in White Eagle Country, capable of making many people tremble with fear.

Originally, he and Zhang Long were just ordinary friends, comrades who fought side by side on the battlefield for a period of time. Neither owed the other anything.

However, Zhang Long had given him a hard time in every way possible just now, making him very unhappy and feeling underestimated and insulted.

But with Wang Chao around, he didn't want to break ties with Zhang Long so quickly and had to endure it.

At this moment, one of his subordinates approached and made a throat-slitting gesture. "Young Master, do you want me to—"

Michael Kay turned and gave him a glare. "Are you out of your mind?"

With Wang Chao, a superpower, by Zhang Long's side, his subordinate's thoughts were suicidal.

His subordinate immediately fell silent, trembling all over.

Michael Kay took out a cigarette, lit it, and took several puffs before speaking again, "Go find out who this Wang Chao really is, and also investigate what they meant by 'that place' they mentioned."

He had been eavesdropping on everyone's conversation in the room, and he had heard Wang Chao and the Red Robed Envoy repeatedly mention 'that place.' According to them, the two of them had come from 'that place.'

However, despite his long experience in the world, this was the first time he had heard of 'that place.' He had no idea where it was, and his curiosity was piqued.
