The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4524

“Go to the mainland?”

Charlie Wade looked at Liu Manqiong in surprise. “Aren’t you sad about leaving Hong Kong Island?”

Liu Manqiong answered a bit awkwardly, “That was before. When I was still in school, I didn’t want to leave. But now, if I think about my job options, moving to the mainland would give me more opportunities for growth.”

Charlie nodded thoughtfully. “If you’re really interested in the mainland, it might be a good idea to visit after you graduate. You can explore and find a city you like to start your career. With your education and background, you should do well no matter where you go.”

Liu Manqiong agreed but wanted to ask Charlie which city he was in, though she hesitated.

At that moment, the rain on Hong Kong Island became heavier.

Suddenly, Liu Manqiong’s phone buzzed with a notification.

She glanced at it and said, “The weather department just announced that there will be heavy rain tonight.”

“Torrential rain…” Charlie smiled slightly. “Looks like the more than a hundred Hongmen disciples are going to board the ship in the rain tonight.”

Meanwhile, at the Inspur Club, more than a hundred Hongmen disciples were being escorted by soldiers from Wanlong Palace as they left the bar and headed to the port.

Wanlong Palace needed many workers for their new base, so the young and ambitious members of Hongmen were a perfect choice.

For Wanlong Palace, having three hundred or five hundred laborers wasn’t enough; the more, the better.

Hong Yuanshan watched as all his subordinates were led out, feeling a mix of pride and concern.

The man felt a wave of happiness wash over him, pushing aside any sadness. He sighed to himself, thinking, “I never expected the Ye family to have such a powerful background. Thankfully, I survived. Not only do I avoid going to Syria to work as a laborer, but I also get to stay in Hongmen as the boss. From now on, I need to keep a low profile and avoid making mistakes. I can’t let anyone from the Ye family have a bad opinion of me.”

With this on his mind, he turned to Zhong Yunqiu and said firmly, “Zhong, you need to transfer a billion dollars to my account by tomorrow evening. If you don’t, I won’t let this go.”

Zhong Yunqiu looked distressed. “Godfather… Are you really worried about me? I promise I’ll keep my word…”

Hong Yuanshan interrupted coldly, “I won’t be your godfather anymore, Zhong Yunqiu! Our relationship ends here, so don’t bring it up again.”

Zhong Yunqiu quickly replied, “Godfather, I haven’t done anything to offend you. I don’t want this to happen. Please don’t be angry with me; I admit I’ve messed up.”

Hong Yuanshan frowned. “I’m just afraid you’ll try to hurt me!”

He continued, “Starting tomorrow, we won’t have any contact except for fundraising for the Wanlong Palace. I won’t ask you for anything else. I just want to focus on living well, so it’s best if I don’t see you again.”

Zhong Yunqiu pleaded, “Godfather, we’re in this mess together. Why do you want to turn against me?”

Hong Yuanshan replied, “I’m not like you! I’m now the fundraising manager for the Wanlong Palace!”

“As long as I don’t cause any trouble, Mr. Ye and Wanlong Palace will protect me! You’re a bad luck charm, so it’s best if you stay away from me!”

Zhong Yuanqiu was taken aback. He wanted to respond, but the words got stuck in his throat.

In the past, he treated Hong Yuanshan like a fling, someone to have fun with and then discard. He had been trying to find a way to end things without any drama, hoping she would speak up first.

But when she finally did say goodbye, he felt a knot in his stomach.

Without his connection to Hong Yuanshan, he would lose his support on Hong Kong Island. They had been through a lot together, and he realized that the ten billion dollars he lost over the past ten years now felt more significant. Looking at Hong Yuanshan, he no longer thought her requests for money were unreasonable. In fact, compared to someone like Charlie Wade, he felt she had been quite generous.

So now, in this tough time, he actually wanted to reconnect with Hong Yuanshan and her newspaper group.
