Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Ghost in the Hotel
After confirming to visit Jiangnan City with the Sun Family tomorrow, Huang Xiaolong said goodbye, leaving the Sun Family’s ancestral home.
Sun Wei accompanied Huang Xiaolong a long way before reluctantly parting ways.
“Little Long… I’m really touched… are you going to Jiangnan City for me?” Sun Wei looked at Huang Xiaolong with passionate eyes.
Huang Xiaolong chuckled, pulling her into his arms and showering her with kisses.
Not long after, Sun Wei was panting heavily, her body going limp.
In a small, barely audible voice, Sun Wei said, “Little Long… The time… the time you guided me with your secret message and took on the young leader of the Eagle Claw door and his experts… I… I actually fell in love with you then…”
“Yes, yes, Sister Bai Hu, I really did all this for you this time… How are you going to reward me?” Huang Xiaolong teased jovially.
Sun Wei replied in a gentle and tender voice, “Whatever… whatever you want as a reward, I will… I will give…”
Huang Xiaolong took advantage of the situation a little more, then finally separated from Sun Wei.
He then drove home.
Huang Xiaolong sent a WeChat message to Lin Jing, Su Xiaoman, his wife Song Yuru, Cui Feiyan, Chu Tingting, Wu Shanshan, Liu Feilei… all acquaintances, and notified them that he would be going to Jiangnan City for a while. He would be back in Binhai soon, so they didn’t need to worry.
Huang Xiaolong did not need to worry about their safety either because Gui Mengyao, dressed in a purple robe, would protect them throughout. Anyone who dared to touch them would really be asking for death. A purple-robed ghost killing someone would seem like child’s play.
The next day, Huang Xiaolong was awoken by a call from Sun Wei. He rolled out of bed, washed up hastily, packed his canvas bag and left the house.
As he stood at the entrance of the seaside villa complex, Sun Wei appeared in front of Huang Xiaolong in her Lamborghini.
She got out of the car, dressed in a tracksuit that showed off her long beautiful @tui. She ran towards Huang Xiaolong with a bright smile, holding a packed breakfast in her hand.
“Little Long, you haven’t eaten breakfast yet, right?” Sun Wei asked obediently, handing the breakfast to Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong ate the delicious breakfast while getting into Sun Wei’s car.
This time, since Sun Wei was driving, Huang Xiaolong left his BYD F3 at home.
Jiangnan City is adjacent to Binhai. Taking the expressway, the journey was less than an hour, very convenient.
Sun Wei drove to the expressway entrance, where many luxury cars were already parked.
Bentley, Range Rover, Hummer, Grand Cherokee, Wrangler…
Near these cars, many men and a few women, all dressed in martial arts uniforms, were standing.
Huang Xiaolong spotted Sun Hu, Sun Feng, and others nearby.
Sun Wei parked the car, and she and Huang Xiaolong got out.
“Greeting to Master Long.” Sun Hu and others hurried to greet Huang Xiaolong respectfully.
Huang Xiaolong responded with a smile and a nod.
This time, the delegation going to Jiangnan City from the Sun family included several first-generation family elders and 12 second-generation members. Including Sun Wei, there were 34 people from the third generation. It was indeed a formidable group.
Old Master Sun stayed at the ancestral home and did not join.
According to Sun Hu, the ones who would be on stage were mostly from the second generation. A few third-generation individuals, including Sun Feng, would also participate.
Despite the large number of people attending, not all of them will take part in the martial arts boxing competition. Some are there merely to create an atmosphere, to open up their horizons or broaden their knowledge.
Huang Xiaolong glanced at a few of the Sun family’s third-generation elites standing next to Sun Feng. They were likely the ones who would represent the Sun family in the competition. Each of them wore a fierce and combative expression, as if their energy had nowhere to vent. Their bodieswere robust, their hands covered with thick calluses.
At this point, many members of the Sun family looked at Huang Xiaolong with some incredulity.
After all, Huang Xiaolong appeared far too young, with an innocent face and tender skin that did not seem characteristic of a martial artist.
Some of the Sun family’s third-generation members even murmured, “How could this guy possibly defend us from our enemies? Could he be joining us on this trip to Jiangnan City just for fun?”
Undeterred by their doubts, Huang Xiaolong whispered to Sun Wei, “Sister Bai Hu, it seems many of your family members don’t respect me.”
“Little Long, don’t stoop to their level. These people are like frogs at the bottom of a well, completely unaware of your capabilities,” Sun Wei retorted disdainfully.
She thought to herself: they’ll soon be left speechless by Little Long’s unmatched skills!
“Now that everyone is here, let’s head over to Jiangnan City,” announced an elder from the Sun family.
Everyone got into their cars.
They passed the highway toll booth and headed toward Jiangnan City!
Sun Wei and Huang Xiaolong were the only ones in her Lamborghini. While driving, she asked him, “Little Long, have you ever been to Jiangnan City?”
“Oh…never have. Sister Bai Hu, have you been? What’s Jiangnan City like?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a grin.
“I’ve been there a few times. Jiangnan City is more bustling than Binhai. The city hosts a traditional martial arts boxing tournament every year, hence making its people more valiant than those of Binhai. This is the biggest feature of Jiangnan City. In short, the martial spirit is very prevalent in Jiangnan City. Even amongst commoners, there might be some who practice martial arts, albeit in a crude manner. Martial arts is also a part of the curriculum in primary schools in Jiangnan City,” Sun Wei answered earnestly.
“Oh, I see.” Huang Xiaolong nodded in understanding.
Sun Wei continued, “In addition to the annual national martial arts boxing tournament, Jiangnan City also hosts many underground boxing competitions. Many local business tycoons enjoy watching these competitions and place bets on the outcomes. There are even outsiders who come to gamble. Boxing has become a form of gambling in Jiangnan City, often attracting millions, if not hundreds of millions in bets. Betting on boxing is far more popular than betting on soccer.”
According to Sun Wei’s description, Huang Xiaolong had a rough understanding of Jiangnan City.
After an hour’s drive, the convoy exited the highway, marking their entry into Jiangnan City.
As the convoy drove around the city, Huang Xiaolong observed the cityscape with interest, looking through the car window.
Jiangnan City was indeed a top-tier metropolis with wide, clean streets, bustling traffic, and towering skyscrapers, displaying an imposing atmosphere.
It was immediately apparent that Jiangnan City was at least several years more advanced than Binhai.
Huang Xiaolong thought to himself, the Chen Family, known as the number one family in Jiangnan City, is likely superior in many ways to the Gao family of Binhai, which he had wiped out.
After a brief tour around the city, the convoy arrived at the pre-booked hotel.
The “Carnival Hotel” was a standard five-star hotel situated on the outskirts, providing a serene haven amidst the city’s bustle.
Upon arrival in Jiangnan City, the Sun family would temporarily stay at the “Carnival Hotel”.
They alighted from their vehicles.
Huang Xiaolong looked up at the relatively large five-star hotel, a peculiar gleam flickering in his eyes!
Even in broad daylight, he could sense a heavy aura of yin energy hovering above the hotel. The hotel was undoubtedly unclean, and not just in an ordinary way.
‘Heh, a five-star hotel, huh? There are not only fierce ghosts inside, but also quite a few of them…interesting. As soon as I arrived in Jiangnan City, I encountered something like this… It seems this trip to Jiangnan City won’t be dull after all…’, he thought.
