Chapter 629 - 194: Listen to Your Bro
Chapter 194 [Listen to Brother] (7400)
When Wang Chao arrived in Jinling Prefecture, it was just after 5 p.m. He exited the high-speed rail station and reached a place near University City named Extreme Internet Cafe in just twenty-five minutes.
In a private room on the second floor, after pushing the door open, Wang Chao saw the Lord Immortal Official, who always made him nervous, playing a game with a young man who had a rather dejected expression.
"You’re here?" Chen Yan glanced up at the frog spirit who walked in and gestured with his mouth for him to sit down.
"Let’s do the introductions." Chen Yan pointed at the frog spirit, "Lu Mingyuan, profession..."
"No, no, I’m Wang Chao." The frog spirit chuckled awkwardly, "Lu Mingyuan was just an alias for that previous gig."
"Wang Chao?" Chen Yan smirked, "That name doesn’t sound like a good guy."
Wang Chao chuckled, looking very streetwise, he fished a box of He Tianxia out of his pocket and offered Zhao Shanhe one.
"My classmate, Zhao Shanhe, college classmate," Chen Yan supplemented the introduction.
Wang Chao immediately understood—college classmate, meaning a cover identity allowing the Lord Immortal Official to mingle with the common folk and make mundane friends.
"This is Wang Chao, a professional..." Chen Yan hesitated, as "professional divorce artist" didn’t sound pleasant, so he vaguely said, "professional emotional consultant."
Zhao Shanhe looked a bit puzzled at the person in front of him.
Wide mouth, squinty eyes, short and stout build, and damn, a bit chubby, with slightly greasy hair.
Professional emotional consultant?
Looks more like a dried goods salesman.
"No bro, you... are you really an emotional expert?" Zhao Shanhe widened his eyes.
Wang Chao smiled, courteously lighting a cigarette for Zhao Shanhe, "If you’re having any emotional issues, feel free to talk to me about it."
Zhao Shanhe was somewhat embarrassed, as Wang Chao lit his cigarette, he casually tapped the back of Wang Chao’s hand and laughed bitterly, "Well, I..."
"Better introduce ourselves clearly." Chen Yan laughed, "This brother of mine, Zhao Shanhe, a notable figure on campus, the king of part-time jobs. He’s done sales, buying on commission, business dealings, and even modeling."
Wang Chao continued to smile, saying calmly, "Coincidentally, I’ve done all those too."
Chen Yan rolled his eyes.
The way you say "done," better be legitimate!
Chen Yan grabbed his phone, quickly opened WeChat, and sent some information to Wang Chao.
Zhao Shanhe watched with curiosity, "What did you send?"
"Information on He Kang’s family," Chen Yan replied casually.
Zhao Shanhe widened his eyes, "No way?! In this half a day, where’d you get it from? Haven’t you been gaming with me?"
"Had someone check it out, it’s all public information, doesn’t touch on personal privacy." Chen Yan waved his hand, unwilling to discuss further.
Of course, the information was obtained after he messaged Chu Keqing, and Chu Keqing got someone to compile it in just two hours.
"He Kang, a third-year student, a minor rich kid, the family’s assets should be between A8 and close to A9. A campus Casanova." While Wang Chao looked over the information, Chen Yan added casually, "He’s the central figure in this information..."
Wang Chao didn’t make a sound, quietly kept reading, and after a few minutes when he finished, he lowered his head in thought, "When should we take action?"
"You can act as soon as you’re ready, the sooner the better."
Wang Chao smiled, raising two fingers, "Two days. No later than two days, I’ll initiate some contact."
As he spoke, he put away his phone, "This job isn’t too difficult, I figure it can be resolved in seven or eight days."
Zhao Shanhe, muddled by their conversation, couldn’t help but ask, "Wait, what are you two talking about? What action? What seven or eight days? Chen Yan, don’t tell me you’re doing something illegal for me!"
"You’re overthinking it, brother, I wouldn’t do anything illegal." Wang Chao shook his head.
"Alright, the information is quite shallow, for more detailed and in-depth information, you’ll need to dig it out yourself." Chen Yan looked at Wang Chao.
Wang Chao nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ve been in this business for years, I have my own channels to gather information on target individuals, two days is enough for me to figure it all out."
"And you’ll really be done in seven or eight days?" Chen Yan was a bit curious too.
Wang Chao was confident, "Immort... I mean, brother, don’t worry, I’m a professional. People like him are too easy to hook up."
Zhao Shanhe widened his eyes, "Hook up? Hook up with whom?"
He turned to stare at Chen Yan, "Not you, brother, who are you asking him to hook up with? You’re not telling him to hook up with my junior, right? I..."
"What’s the use of hooking up with your junior?" Chen Yan shook his head, "The first step is to deal with He the Casanova first."
Zhao Shanhe was startled, looking at Wang Chao with an even odder expression, "What? No way! Are you telling him to hook up with He Kang? Not, brother! He Kang is straight, and..."
Pop!
Chen Yan patted Zhao Shanhe on the shoulder, "What are you thinking? This brother of mine isn’t good with men."
"Then... who’s he going to hook up with?"
"He Kang’s mom."

He Kang’s mother is a wealthy local woman from Jinling Prefecture. In her youth, she fell for He Kang’s father, a ’phoenix man’ who came from an eighteen-tier township.
Then, the poor young man became the son-in-law, gradually climbing the social ladder—this kind of thing, whether it happens to a man or a woman, is quite normal.
However, the innate gap led to the marriage not necessarily being happy.
Especially He Kang’s father, this guy is said to be quite the ladies’ man. When he was young, he charmed He Kang’s mother, and gradually, as the older generation retired, he took over the factories owned by He Kang’s mother’s family.
With money and status, as his wings grew stronger, naturally his ambitions grew as well.
