Chapter 661: Chapter 171 He Wants to Meet Me, I’m Scared_4

After a casual chat for a while.

He hung up the device.

Tan Qing thought about what Lin Fan had just said, it was also a person named Zhou Peng, to be named by Lin Fan, there were usually only two possibilities.

The first, that person named Zhou Peng was definitely being remembered by Lin Fan.

The second, there might be an issue with him.

So was the Zhou Peng standing before them the same Zhou Peng Lin Fan had mentioned?

Zhou Peng said, "Brother Tan, if Mr. Lin really comes one day, you must notify me, I’ve longed to meet him in person for so long."

Seeing how eager Zhou Peng was to meet Lin Fan, Tan Qing began to doubt himself, perhaps he was really overthinking it, but it’s always good to be cautious. He smiled and patted Zhou Peng on the shoulder.

"Don’t worry, as long as Mr. Lin comes, I will definitely let you meet him."

...

As soon as Zhou Peng left Xiangshan Base, the first place he went was to where the Corpse God resided.

Even as the sky grew dark, it could not block his path.

Zhou Peng immediately reported the situation of Lin Fan from Sunshine Shelter in Huang City to the Corpse God.

In the darkness, the Corpse God, which was continuously expanding and merging its flesh with the building, experienced a slight emotional change.

It was indeed as it expected.

Lucky that it had held back, not stretching its hand towards Xiangshan Base at the same time.

It had witnessed that battle, the strength displayed by that human had exceeded its imagination, even now it could not handle it, and it must not make contact with the other party until it had built a true Corpse Nest.

If they truly met, would the other party sense that this human was under its control?

Or, was it necessary to keep this host by its side anymore, or was it better to dispose of him now and comfortably shrink back here, waiting for the next opportunity?

Zhou Peng still stood respectfully, awaiting the Corpse God’s command.

But he didn’t know that, in this brief moment, the Corpse God was pondering how to dispose of him, whether to let him live or die, wavering indecisively.

All of a sudden.

In the darkness, a tentacle whipped out and instantly wrapped around Zhou Peng.

Zhou Peng’s face showed no emotion, he believed the Corpse God wouldn’t harm him and even felt a bit of anticipation; the tentacle that appeared behind him opened like a petal and made a squishing sound as it attached to his back.

A scream echoed through the air.

The face that the Corpse God had parasitized fell off.

"Corpse God, what are you doing?" Zhou Peng asked.

"You, your aura is very dangerous, returning to your former appearance is beneficial to you,"

Zhou Peng understood the Corpse God’s intention, his eyes reddened with emotion; the Corpse God loved him. Knowing that he would meet Lin Fan one day in the future, the Corpse God wanted to protect him, allowing him to return to the appearance of a normal human.

But this feeling was truly unpleasant.

He could feel his power being stripped away, leaving an empty void, devoid of any sensation.

He really detested the current situation.

Night.

He Qing and Zhou Yang, among others, sat around a table, enjoying hotpot and drinking alcohol.

"Boss He, are you planning to keep everyone here, what about the ’Lucky’?"

Zhou Yang asked casually, actually sensing the threat Boss He posed to him. When he was here alone, he had everyone eating out of his hand, chatting up whether they were acquainted or not. To this day, he could approach anyone for a few words of conversation.

And He Qing was a successful entrepreneur, skilled at building relationships.

If they were to select managers here in the future, according to his understanding of Lin Fan, for fairness, it would be like during their school days—everyone would vote, and the one with the most votes would become a manager.

Therefore, he felt a sense of crisis.

He Qing drank his alcohol and ate his food. Putting down his chopsticks, he spoke with seriousness, "This place is the Land of Hope, the ’Lucky’ was only our temporary shelter. The starting point of our future should begin here, following Mr. Lin’s footsteps towards a brighter path, moving forward without hesitation. I believe everyone here feels the same, right?"

"Yes, Boss He is absolutely right, that’s just what I think."

"Me too."

"Well said, Boss He."

Everyone around the table nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with what He Qing had said.

He Qing waved his hand, "Please don’t address me as Boss He, just He Qing or Brother He will do. We are all striving for a better future. I’m older than you, so a ’Brother He’ is something I can accept."

"Alright, Brother He."

"Back when I used to watch the local finance channel, I always liked watching Brother He, I felt like I could learn a lot."

In response to everyone’s flattery.

He Qing humbly gestured with his hand, "Let’s not talk about this, it’s all in the past. If it were peacetime, and I had the chance to meet you all, I wouldn’t say much, but I’d definitely lead us to prosperity together. Don’t mind the rumors that say I play both sides, in fact, I’m also a farmer’s son. When I first came to the big city with nothing, I struggled for many years and achieved a little. If I hadn’t disguised myself to protect what I had, I would have been devoured a long time ago."

"And those who say my charity donations are just for show, they don’t understand that I truly came from poverty and know how painful it is. I took from the people, so I should use it for the people. If I can make money, I must give back to society."

After finishing, He Qing sighed softly, his expression tinged with a pensive sadness, as if regretting the lack of understanding from others.
