Chapter 809: Don’t Say You’ve Been in a Relationship Before!
The drug lord heaved a deep sigh and began, "Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law are reasonable people, compassionate and loyal. It’s we who’ve been presumptuous. Don’t worry, we won’t trouble Young Master Jin anymore. We’ll send him right back to you. As for the business conveniences, the profits will remain the same; we won’t take the slightest advantage of you. Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, this friendship is set in stone!"
Li Hui smiled, her heart also easing with relief. The thing about these underworld figures was that they did have their virtues—blood loyalty, some degree of moral code to boast about their so-called noble sentiments.
As long as they were not those mean and miserly types, they were generally easier to deal with.
"Since you’ve said that," Li Hui raised an eyebrow, "I can’t very well take advantage of you either. For this batch of goods, we’ll just take the market profit, not a penny more. In addition, I’ll send you an extra shipment, to honor this bond of friendship."
The drug lord raised his eyebrows, suddenly raising his hand in a fist, "Then much appreciated!"
"No problem." Li Hui made a fist gesture in return.
The drug lord glanced at his daughter, sighed, shook his head, and waved his hand, "Time to withdraw!"
Watching the drug lord’s departing figure, Li Hui pursed her lips, holding her forehead in exasperation, "This is a huge loss!"
And wasn’t it a huge loss! First, bringing a batch of free arms to gather intelligence, then settling for only the market profit and even giving a bonus shipment. Damn it.
But that was all a joke, really. What they cared about most was, of course, Nangong Jin.
The drug lord kept his promise, no longer pursuing Nangong Jin but instead taking him to a top private hospital and arranging protection. He also informed Nangong Tiancheng and Li Hui.
Nangong Jin had just woken up in the hospital. Feng Rao did a decent job treating his wounds, but since it was an emergency procedure, the doctors had to give him another once-over before transferring him to a regular room.
When Nangong Tiancheng and Li Hui arrived at the hospital, Nangong Jin was clamoring to leave.
The moment he saw Nangong Tiancheng and Li Hui, his eyes widened as if seeing ghosts, "Dad, Mom, how come you’re here?"
"You’re getting married, how could I not come?" Li Hui said cheerfully, "I’ve already met your fiancée, and she’s really great, built for childbearing!"
Nangong Jin blinked, his face turning utterly red as he couldn’t help but wail, "Mommie, I beg you, spare me, okay?"
Li Hui pouted, "Son, it should be me begging you to spare me. Can’t we attract a little less attention?"
"I didn’t do anything!" Nangong Jin hastily raised both hands, "Really, I swear, I still don’t know which girl it is!"
Li Hui: "..."
"Alright, enough of that, get ready to go home. You don’t need to worry about the business here, leave it to Feng Rao. You need to go home and get some rest."
Li Hui spoke seriously, no longer in the mood to tease him. The night’s events had worn her out; it was only five in the morning, and she really wanted to go back to sleep off the entire day.
"Yeah," Nangong Jin nodded, a hint of weariness showing on his handsome face.
On the plane, Li Hui asked him, "Why did you come here in person? Don’t tell me it was for Miao Wu, didn’t you say you like Xuanxuan?"
Nangong Jin frowned slightly, but spoke candidly, "I promised Miao Wu that if I had the chance, I would come back to see her."
Li Hui huffed, "What exactly is going on with you and Miao Wu? You still haven’t told me to this day. Don’t tell me you two used to date!"
