Chapter 777: Chapter 776 Zhao Ping’an
Arriving alone in Liuan City, Su Yang certainly needed to first understand the situation there and investigate the arrangements of the Japanese within the Hu Family.
Thus, when Su Yang set out, he found a local guide online, making it seem like he was a tourist entering Liuan City, and he went about things low-key.
Zhao Ping’an marveled at Su Yang’s youth, as his work as a local guide usually involved old people or some middle-aged clients. It was rare for young people to visit Liuan, considering it was more suitable for the elderly to enjoy.
However, Zhao Ping’an still received Su Yang with great warmth.
"Mr. Su, how about I take you to have a meal first?" Zhao Ping’an said with a smile, "Our local cuisine is not bad; you must be pretty hungry after the flight."
"No need," Su Yang calmly replied, "Take me on a tour around the city first."
Zhao Ping’an was taken aback, as this was his first encounter with someone like Su Yang.
Liuan City did have many scenic areas, but these were located outside the city, at some distance from it. Frankly speaking, there wasn’t much to see in Liuan City itself—it was just an ordinary city, with few people interested in touring around the city.
Nevertheless, as Su Yang was the employer, whatever Su Yang said, he would do.
Zhao Ping’an drove a very old sedan, left to him by his father, which he used for his guide work. He drove Su Yang around the city, introducing him to some of the more famous spots in the city.
Su Yang didn’t care much for these. Halfway through the tour, Su Yang suddenly said, "I heard there’s a Hu Family in Liuan City that’s quite famous. Could you take me to see it?"
"The Hu Family?" Zhao Ping’an’s expression turned somewhat cold, and he glanced at Su Yang, "Do you know someone from the Hu Family?"
"I don’t," Su Yang replied calmly.
"Then why do you want to go see their place?" Zhao Ping’an frowned and asked.
Su Yang looked at Zhao Ping’an and countered, "Do I need to answer you?"
Zhao Ping’an immediately fell silent, indeed realizing he had asked too much.
In fact, Zhao Ping’an’s father had been killed by a driving-under-the-influence spoiled brat from the Hu Family. With only fifty thousand yuan, the Hu Family had settled the matter, and when Zhao Ping’an’s mother went to the Hu Family seeking justice, she even ended up with a broken leg. Zhao Ping’an always harbored resentment toward the Hu Family.
Now that Su Yang wanted to go directly to the Hu Family, it was natural for him to have some doubts. However, in the end, he did not say anything more. He was very aware of his own situation, lacking capability and power. How could he possibly confront the Hu Family?
Moreover, he really needed the job as a guide. He didn’t dare to lose his temper. Otherwise, without the job, how would he earn money to support his family?
So, despite his resentment, Zhao Ping’an still silently took Su Yang to the Hu Family’s residence.
The Wu Family was also in Liuan City, but they were located in the outskirts, in a remote part of the suburbs. Martial Families often lived like this.
The Hu Family, on the other hand, was in the city, and since Liuan City had no other big clans, the Wu and Hu Families were the most powerful.
With the Wu Family outside the city, the Hu Family, being in the city, virtually dominated on their own. This fact was evident from their luxurious estate.
The Hu Family’s estate was located in a bustling part of the city, covering more than ten acres, completely resembling a grand mansion.
Circling the estate twice, Su Yang had more or less understood the situation inside the mansion.
There were about five individuals within the mansion at the Venerable Realm, and more than a dozen at the Fusion Realm. Clearly, these were not members of the Hu Family, but experts from Japan.
Because, according to the news from Su Yang, the Hu Family couldn’t even produce a Sovereign, and they only have two people at the Integration Realm.
These Japanese, in their eagerness to snatch the Wu Family’s Celestial War Armor, have really gone through great lengths, even sending so many experts over.
Su Yang was pondering whether he should just barge in or wait for the evening to make a more low-key move.
At that moment, Zhao Ping’an, who was sitting beside him, suddenly sat up straight, staring dumbfoundedly at the front gate of the Hu Family’s residence.
Surprised, Su Yang looked in the direction of Zhao’s gaze and saw that there was indeed a young girl standing at the gate. The girl was quite pretty, looking out as if she was waiting for someone.
Before long, a man in his thirties or forties came out from the courtyard. The man was quite ugly, but he wore expensive-looking clothes.
As soon as the girl saw the man, she smiled and greeted him, throwing herself into his arms, while his hand naturally came to rest on her perky buttocks.
The girl didn’t seem to mind at all, hugging the man’s arm affectionately, like a couple deeply in love, and then they both got into a black sedan nearby.
Zhao Ping’an watched the car drive away, leaning on the car seat, lost in thought and silent as death.
With one glance at Zhao Ping’an, Su Yang could tell what the situation was.
"Ex-girlfriend?" Su Yang asked casually.
Zhao Ping’an’s lips trembled before he finally nodded, keeping his head low.
"She’s not right for you," Su Yang said calmly.
Zhao Ping’an looked at Su Yang, opened his mouth, but in the end, didn’t say a word.
What really caused Zhao Ping’an pain wasn’t that his girlfriend had found a new boyfriend. The key issue was that this man was the very person who had killed his father in a drunk driving accident and broke his mother’s leg, a notorious playboy.
Back then, his girlfriend had accompanied his family to negotiate with this man. Less than a month later, she broke up with him.
Zhao Ping’an, knowing his circumstances, didn’t want to drag his girlfriend down, so he chose to break up.
And now, he finally understood why she wanted to break up with him. Perhaps, from the day she met the Hu Family’s Spoiled Brat, she was no longer his girlfriend!
Su Yang watched Zhao Ping’an. He hadn’t paid much attention to Zhao when he got off the plane. Now, after a glance with the Soul Searching Technique, he realized just how aggrieved Zhao Ping’an felt.
"You’re also from Pingnan Province?" Su Yang suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Zhao Ping’an looked at Su Yang with surprise: "Can you tell?"
"A little," Su Yang said with a faint smile: "I’m from Nanluo City, Pingnan Province."
"Oh, that makes us fellow townspeople," Zhao Ping’an finally perked up a bit: "Our family moved out of Pingnan Province a long time ago, but I grew up in Nanluo City. We were in Qunan County of Nanluo City, how about you?"
"I’m from within the city, Qunan County, I’ve been there twice," Su Yang said with a smile.
Zhao Ping’an’s spirit lifted further, and he began to chat with Su Yang about their hometown. That’s how it is when you’re away from home; fellow townspeople meeting each other have an endless stream of topics to discuss.
While Zhao Ping’an was excitedly talking, his phone suddenly rang. He answered the call, and an anxious voice came through: "Ping’an, hurry up, your master has been injured by people from the Hu Family!"
