Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Big Trouble!
Huang Xiaolong was not at all surprised by Fang Shijie’s leadership status.
After all, when Huang Xiaolong first laid eyes on him, he had noticed the unmistakable aura of authority that he carried.
Just as expected, he was a figure of power!
At this moment, the District Chief began to shake uncontrollably.
“Hmm… Misunderstanding? Do you think that I am blind, or deaf?” Fang Shijie also had a general understanding of the dispute that had happened within the jewelry store.
Even if Fang Shijie and Huang Xiaolong had no relation at all, with his steadfast personality, he would definitely not let a corrupted official like the District Chief go unpunished.
Furthermore, he admired Huang Xiaolong greatly…
After all, Huang Xiaolong had saved his beloved daughter’s life!
“Fa… Fang… I… I made a mistake… I really made a mistake…” The District Chief was on the verge of tears and then looked at Huang Xiaolong and Su Xiaoman with wet eyes. “Both of you… I’m sorry, I’m really sorry… I… I was running a fever today and didn’t make sense while talking… Please don’t take offense at what happened…”
“Mr. Huang?” Fang Shijie sought his advice with a look.
Huang Xiaolong waved his hand. “I don’t want to see them anymore, they affect my mood.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Shijie nodded. “Whoever you are, you understand what’s best for yourself? Leave immediately.”
After that, Fang Shijie nodded at Huang Xiaolong again and then turned to leave.
“Honey… why are you apologizing to them…” Hu Ting mumbled discontentedly.
“Screw you!!!!” The District Chief roared, his rage unfurling!
“Damn it, woman! You’ve ruined my life! Why don’t you just drop dead!” The District Chief fulminated like a starving wolf and slapped Hu Ting hard across her face!
Then he walked over and viciously kicked her in the stomach.
Hu Ting cried loudly, writhing in pain on the ground.
In no time, the couple left the jewelry store while fighting.
“Two idiots…” Huang Xiaolong shrugged indifferently.
“Ah um… sir… do… do you… do you… want this bracelet still?” The salesgirl looked cautiously at Huang Xiaolong. Now, she finally understood who the real problem was.
For God’s sake, a high-ranking official delivered the money personally?
This young man was no small potato!
“Of course, I do.” Huang Xiaolong nodded nonchalantly.
Next, Huang Xiaolong selected several more pieces of jewelry for Su Xiaoman, spending exactly $200,000.
As they left the jewelry store hand in hand, Su Xiaoman was radiant with the bracelets, necklaces, and rings that she wore, giving off an extraordinary aura of grace and elegance.
“Sister Xiaoman, look at you now. You appear differently, even more charming!” Huang Xiaolong looked at her excitedly.
Lowering her head in shy, Su Xiaoman said, “Little Long… I normally dare not wear these jewels… They’re too expensive, really too expensive.”
“Pfft~~ Sister Xiaoman, what are you talking about? Money is just paper. If you like it, even more money wouldn’t bother me.” A smile spread across Huang Xiaolong’s face.
This light comment melted Su Xiaoman’s heart when she heard it.
“Sister Xiaoman, let’s go for lunch. I am hungry,” Huang Xiaolong suggested.
“Ok, as you wish,” Su Xiaoman responded submissively.
“How about going to a hotel after lunch?” Huang Xiaolong looked at her with a mischievous smile.
“Uh? Little Long…” Su Xiaoman looked daze.
With a blush creeping upon her face, Su Xiaoman responded in a barely audible voice.
After a pause, Su Xiaoman’s ears had turned red.
“Ok ok! Let’s have lunch first!” Huang Xiaolong could barely contain his excitement.
Ah! This country boy is finally going to see the day!
Compared to booking a hotel room, lunch was a trivial matter. They stopped at a random Chinese restaurant and ordered a few dishes.
“Sister Xiaoman, I have reconsidered. Let’s not check into a hotel.” Huang Xiaolong looked at Su Xiaoman seriously.
“Aha?” Su Xiaoman was a little taken aback.
“Sister Xiaoman, I just bought a house by the beach. I will take you there later…” Huang Xiaolong made an impish grin. “By the way, Sister Xiaoman, someday I’ll buy a new house for you, and one for my uncle too.”
“Ah… Little Long, I live in the shop usually, I don’t need a new house,” Su Xiaoman hastily replied.
Just then, Huang Xiaolong’s cell phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw it was an unknown call.
“Damn it, it must be a wrong number,” Huang Xiaolong grumbled but still answered the call.
A panicky male voice immediately started talking on the other end. “Young man… it’s me, it’s me… it’s me, Yue Dazhuang”
“I told you it’s a wrong number. I have no idea who this Yue Dazhuang is.” With a frown, Huang Xiaolong said, “I am going to hang up.”
“No, no, hold on, young man…, I… I’m… Yue Dazhuang, the owner of the coastal swimming area!” the man on the other end hurriedly clarified.
“Huh?” Huang Xiaolong knew who it was now. “Oh, so it’s you. What made you call me?”
“Young man, last night… last night, my bathhouse… again… again had an accident! Three people drowned! I’m telling you, three people drowned. Oh my god? It’s too eerie… Young man, please help! If it continues like this, I am going to commit suicide.”
“No way?” Huang Xiaolong felt a chill run down his spine.
Three drowned in one night… It seems that the water ghost in that sea area has become increasingly fearless!
“Didn’t I tell you to suspend your operations for the time being? Why don’t you take my advice?” Huang Xiaolong sounded somewhat displeased.
“Young man, I did listen to you, I closed the bathhouse last night. However, three young men somehow sneaked in for a swim… I really have no idea what to do… Young man, please come over… I am at my wit’s end, I’m about to break down… My bathhouse, it’s definitely in big trouble I have never seen such eerie incidents… I am scared to death…” If Huang Xiaolong was in front of him, Yue Dazhuang would surely kneel down and bow in plea.
“Okay, I’ll come over right away,” Huang Xiaolong agreed and hung up.
He fell into deep thought for a moment. ‘It’s strange… The water ghost in that sea area, not only are there many of them, but they are also extremely brutal… Usually, when a water ghost seeks a replacement, it’s not this violent… there’s something off here… there’s definitely something off!’
“Little Long, is there something wrong?” Su Xiaoman asked curiously.
“Yes, something serious occurred.” Huang Xiaolong nodded. “A coastal bathhouse is haunted by a water ghost, which has claimed a lot of lives. Moreover, it’s been implanting ghost babies in women… it’s outrageous! Sister Xiaoman, you go back to the shop first, I will sort out this issue and then join you.”
