Chapter: 2917
Charlie Wade collected the ambergris and noticed that Mai Chengxing seemed a bit more agreeable than before. He spoke up, saying, “From tonight, you and Mike will stay at Buckingham Palace. I’ll arrange a room for you and provide three hearty meals and daily supplies. However, you must not contact anyone outside or leave Buckingham Palace without permission.”
Charlie added, “This is the best option I can offer you. Trust me, Buckingham Palace is much nicer than a kennel.”
Mai Chengxing didn’t dare to complain. He bowed respectfully and replied, “I will follow Master Ye’s instructions.”
Charlie nodded and called Chen Zekai. Ten minutes later, Chen Zekai arrived by helicopter. He sent two of his brothers to handle Charlie’s taxi while he took Charlie and Mai Chengxing with him.
After dropping Charlie off at Tomson First Grade, Chen Zekai took Mai Chengxing to Buckingham Palace. He found a room in the restricted area and settled both Mai Chengxing and Mike in. They had to surrender their cell phones, and the room’s phone line was cut, leaving them completely isolated from the outside world.
Once back home, Charlie stored the ambergris in the underground storage room of Tomson Yipin Villa. With all the necessary medicinal materials gathered, he planned to start refining Pei Yuan Dan soon.
The next morning, new rumors spread through Jinling. It was said that lightning had struck the Phoenix Mountain Cemetery the night before. Some claimed with certainty that the lightning had hit a car, turning the driver to ash.
People were saying that the thunder and lightning from last night were a sign of the ghost who had killed before. Some even claimed that Huang Taixian was at the Phoenix Mountain Cemetery. There were many rumors floating around, but Charlie Wade didn’t pay them any mind. He had plans to meet He Zhiqiu at the Emgrand Group, so he dropped Xiao Churan off at the Emgrand Hotel construction site and drove to the Emgrand Group himself.
Wang Dongxue was already waiting there. He Zhiqiu was the first to arrive at the Emgrand Group. After showing her ID, she was quickly taken to Wang Dongxue’s office. Although Wang Dongxue didn’t know He Zhiqiu personally, she recognized her as Charlie Wade’s right-hand person and the only daughter of Professor He from Jinling University of Finance and Economics.
Wang Dongxue welcomed He Zhiqiu warmly. They would be working together for Charlie Wade, and even though there was no clear hierarchy between them, she wanted to build a good relationship. Wang Dongxue hoped to be Charlie Wade’s trusted advisor alongside He Zhiqiu.
He Zhiqiu respected Wang Dongxue for her achievements. Despite her own impressive education from a top university, she admired how Wang Dongxue had worked her way up to run a company valued at 100 billion. She found it impressive that someone so young could have accomplished so much.
Wang Dongxue was also taken aback by He Zhiqiu’s youth and beauty. After inviting her into the office, she smiled and asked, “When did you return to China, Miss He?”
He Zhiqiu quickly replied, “I just came back for a few days.”
Wang Dongxue asked with interest, “So, Miss He, have you lived in America before?”
“Yes,” He Zhiqiu nodded. “I was born and raised in the United States, so I spend most of my time there.”
