Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Airport Beauty_1
Zhou Xian and Bull Demon nodded emphatically, taking these words to heart as their guiding principles.
Bull Demon crossed his arms and said, “Boss, I’ve always been clear about gratitude and grudges. He showed mercy, allowing me to still breathe, so I bear no resentment towards Old Zhou.”
Zhou Xian also nodded, saying, “Boss, you can rest easy. I place great value on camaraderie; if we’re brothers, we fight together. I will definitely cooperate well with him.”
Having said that, both men shared a genuine smile.
Xu Fan wasn’t actually worried about them causing trouble; he simply wanted to save some hassle. Seeing them act as if they had met a long-lost friend, he couldn’t help but lament fate’s strange twists—once fierce enemies, they had become good brothers because of him in no time at all.
The evening’s gains were considerable indeed—subduing two strong generals, soon having a security team at his disposal, and even discovering the rare “Tai Xuan Jiuxiao Body.”
He couldn’t deny feeling quite pleased, but it was getting late. Xu Fan said his goodbyes and left the hospital.
Though Bull Demon had completely recovered, he had severed ties with Hong Quan and had nowhere to go. Besides, he had paid for his hospital stay; even if it was just a spot in the corridor, spending the night was no problem.
Plus, it gave him the chance to keep Zhou Xian company by Zhou Xiaofu’s side, to chat, and to deepen their understanding and bonds.
As they talked, they found their temperaments matched even more.
Both men had similar natures—valuing loyalty and brotherhood, willing to go to great lengths for their friends... Eventually, they started calling each other Old Zhou and Old Bull and even made plans to have a big drink together once Zhou Xiaofu recovered, vowing to drink to their hearts’ content.
After leaving the hospital, Xu Fan got into his car. Just as he hit the road, a white Volkswagen whizzed past him, nearly scraping his vehicle.
Xu Fan frowned and wasn’t about to let it go, but the Volkswagen was speeding and quickly vanished into the distance.
However, faintly unusual sounds seemed to come from the car.
...
Watching the girl’s graceful retreating figure, another phrase followed, “Then I hope we are fated.”
Chenguang stood there dazed for a long while, swallowing hard, secretly making a decision.
For the sake of this fated encounter, I will spend this holiday waiting at Zhonghai City’s most famous scenic spot. Hmph, I can’t wait to see her surprised little face with her mouth slightly agape. Just thinking about it is amusing.
The girl stepped out of the airport and opened the ride-hailing app on her phone, set the destination to the hotel she booked, and patiently waited for the car.
It was late, and with many passengers at the airport, taxis were scarce. The girl sighed softly and reluctantly called for a special car, pool car, and ride share one after the other.
“Ding!”
A few minutes later, a ride-share driver took the order. When he called, his voice was that of a middle-aged man with a strong local accent.
After the girl gave him the location, it took another three minutes for a white Volkswagen to stop near the exit. The driver rolled down the window and waved to her.
Dragging her luggage, the girl checked the license plate and said, “Driver, that’s me.”
The driver was a short, chubby middle-aged man with thick arms and a few moles on his face. He glanced at the girl, a flicker of admiration in his eyes, but he restrained himself well, “Is the last four digits of the phone number 3699?”
“Yes,” the girl nodded.
The driver opened the driver’s side door and got out to help her put the luggage in the back. The girl went to the right front door ready to enter, but the driver quickly said, “Sorry, beautiful, the front door is a bit faulty, and I plan to fix it tomorrow. You’ll have to sit in the back; it might be a little better that way.”
The girl nodded, noticing nothing amiss, and chose to sit in the rear right seat.
As the car pulled away, the scenery outside the window quickly receded.
Throughout the journey, the driver didn’t initiate conversation, just quietly drove. The girl occasionally looked out the window, but spent most of the time chatting on WeChat.
Finding the atmosphere a bit dull, the driver casually turned on the car music and increased the volume.
