Chapter: 2891
Mai Chengxing and Mike were sitting anxiously in their room at the Buckingham Palace Hotel. Mike was still shaken from the terrifying experience they had just gone through. He felt mentally drained and uneasy.
Meanwhile, Mai Chengxing was restless. He held a few coins in his hand and kept tossing them on the table. The patterns the coins made were confusing to him. He knew that the coins often showed opportunities, but now they felt overshadowed by a strong sense of danger and uncertainty.
As he sat there, Mai Chengxing’s perspective began to shift. Initially, he thought he could use Su Chengfeng’s invitation to visit China as a chance to seek out opportunities and make some money. He figured it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t find anything; at least he would be back in his homeland. He also worried about the risks, especially at his age, as he knew his health could fail him, and he might face some common health issues that older people do.
However, he never expected the situation to escalate to this level of danger. The threats around him felt real and intense. He had witnessed violence before, but being caught up in this chaos made him feel a strong sense of crisis. He began to reconsider whether it was worth continuing down this path.
Mai Chengxing had lived a long life, not just because of Su Chengfeng’s wealth, but because he had always pursued opportunities, much like he wished to feel twenty years younger. Yet now, with so many complications and unpredictable risks, he couldn’t shake the worry that he might not find the chance he was looking for.
Mai Chengxing felt trapped in Jinling. As a dying feng shui master, he had little power to protect himself or his great-grandson, Mike. Both of them were vulnerable, especially against someone like Xuan Fengnian. They wouldn’t stand a chance if they had to face him.
Mike, clearly anxious, said, “Grandpa, maybe we should go back to the United States. Xuan Fengnian seems really dangerous. If he decides to go after us, we won’t win!”
Mai Chengxing sighed and replied, “We could leave, but that would upset Su Chengfeng. If he thinks we’re running away, he might let Xuan Fengnian come after us. That would be a huge mistake.”
Mike quickly suggested, “We can explain everything to him and return all the money. Surely, we can part ways peacefully?”
Mai Chengxing shook his head. “Did you hear what Xuan Fengnian said? He’s good at killing, not finding people. He’s waiting for us to search for someone, and then he’ll strike. Right now, Su Chengfeng thinks the person we need to find is connected to his granddaughter, Su Zhiyu. If we try to leave now, Xuan Fengnian might not allow it. He’ll want us to find that person first so he can get rich.”
With a heavy heart, Mai Chengxing added, “We’re stuck here. We don’t really get to decide whether to stay or go.”
“Damn it!” Mike exclaimed, frustrated. “So what do we do? Can we even find anyone?”
Mai Chengxing replied thoughtfully, “We can search for someone, but the real issue is what happens after that. If we find that person, will it lead to more trouble?”
Xuanfengnian warned, “If we kill, we will face the consequences!”
