Chapter 651: Apologize! (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Liu Xu also felt difficult upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words. Last night, Young Master Li specially called him to warn him. Originally, Liu Xu had no intention of confronting Zhou Chao. Even if they bumped into each other, he planned to pretend not to see him.

However, that call last night completely shattered his plan.

Recalling Young Master Li’s serious words at the time, Liu Xu couldn’t help but tremble.

Looking at the harmless Zhou Chao in front of him, he never expected him to have such an extraordinary background.

After contemplating for a while, Liu Xu realized that he had to bring Young Master Li into the picture. Otherwise, he couldn’t come up with a reasonable excuse to convince Zhou Chao.

With a grit of his teeth, Liu Xu looked at Zhou Chao and said, “Young Master Zhou, I must tell you that I only learned some information about you in the past two days. I never expected you to have founded the Dragonfly Group from scratch. Not only do you have strength, but your background is also not simple.”

“Oh, and how do you know that my background is not simple? It seems like the people behind you are quite influential!” Zhou Chao looked at Liu Xu meaningfully while holding the coconut.

Since they had come this far in the conversation, Liu Xu decided to be straightforward. “A few days ago, I learned about your identity from a friend. I found out that you’re the mastermind behind the Dragonfly Group. After understanding this, 1 realized that you must have a remarkable background. It’s incredible how you’ve established such a large conglomerate in just two years.

I speculated that you must have a remarkable background, so I called Li Yao from Jingdu to inquire. However, I didn’t expect your status to exceed my expectations.”

Liu Xu shook his head helplessly. This time, he had truly met his match. No, not just this time, but several times before!

“Young Master Li? The one you mentioned should be Li Yao, right?”

The only people who could command respect from someone like Liu Xu, who was well-known even domestically, were the top-tier tycoons in Jingdu.

Liu Xu nodded candidly. “Yes, that’s Young Master Li!”

Zhou Chao nodded at the response, tapping rhythmically on the table with his fingers.

Liu Xu knew it was time to decide his fate. If Zhou Chao really wanted to settle the score, he would have no choice but to accept his fate. Even if his old man intervened to shield him from the consequences, he would still have to consider this person’s attitude.

“I’ll do Li Yao a favor and not pursue the matter of you tracking us. As for the previous incidents, we shouldn’t have any grievances, right? After all, I won a Koenigsegg and quite a bit of money from you.”

Zhou Chao’s words were well-considered. After all, there was no real conflict between them. Their previous encounters were just about racing and a little gambling on the boat. For Zhou Chao, there was no loss; on the contrary, he had gained quite a bit. There was nothing to dislike about such a cash cow.

“No, there’s no grievance. I lost to Young Master Zhou before because of my own lack of skill,” Liu Xu said somewhat excitedly.

“Well, if that’s settled, you can go about your business,” Zhou Chao said calmly, nodding.

Liu Xu quickly waved to Chen Feng. Chen Feng took out a document from the briefcase he was carrying and handed it to Liu Xu.

“Young Master Zhou, this is a small gift. I hope you’ll accept it,” Liu Xu said respectfully, placing the document in front of Zhou Chao.

After looking at Liu Xu for two or three seconds, Zhou Chao nodded. “I’ll take

it.”

Liu Xu’s face lit up with joy upon hearing this. Feeling somewhat excited, he said, “Then, I won’t disturb you any longer, Young Master Zhou. I’ll take my leave.”

After saying that and seeing Zhou Chao not saying anything, Liu Xu didn’t feel uncomfortable. He settled the bill with Chen Feng and left the snackbar promptly.

Lin Wu curiously looked at the document on the table. “Boss, what’s inside this?”

“Curious? Why don’t you open it and find out?” Zhou Chao’s lips curled slightly as he held the coconut, gazing out the window at Liu Xu’s departing figure.

Lin Wu didn’t hesitate. He picked up the document bag and opened it quickly. In no time, Lin Wu took out what was inside.

It was a red property deed along with related documents.

“Wow, Boss, I didn’t expect Liu Xu to be so generous. It’s actually a garden estate in Suzhou Wujiang, covering nearly 6 acres. It was built during the Tongzhi period, considered a prestigious mansion.” Lin Wu looked at the information on the property deed, feeling somewhat incredulous.

“Oh,” Zhou Chao responded calmly, not bothering to look at the property deed in Lin Wu’s hand.

“Boss, this house is worth at least hundreds of millions. Aren’t you surprised? Lin Wu couldn’t quite fathom Zhou Chao’s reaction.

Looking at Lin Wu’s surprised expression, Zhou Chao smiled and said, “What’s there to be surprised about? Think about it, if the heir of the prestigious Liu family only gave a gift worth a few million, wouldn’t that be strange? Moreover, this is his way of making amends to me. If it weren’t valuable, wouldn’t it be a slap in my face?”

“I see.” Lin Wu nodded, suddenly understanding.

After finishing the coconut drink, Zhou Chao didn’t linger in the snack bar. He stood up and walked towards the exit. Lin Wu quickly put the property deed back into the document bag and hurried to catch up with Zhou Chao.

“Boss, what are you going to do with this garden? Should we assign someone from the company to manage it? After all, this garden is also listed in the ■Famous Gardens of Suzhou’ and is considered a cultural heritage site.”

“We’ll see later. Anyway, Suzhou isn’t far from Modu. We can visit and see if it’s suitable for living. If not, we’ll make other arrangements!”

Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Lin Wu shrugged. “Well, if this garden isn’t suitable for living, then this mansion worth over a hundred million would be a burden!”

Zhou Chao stopped in his tracks, turned around, and smiled at Lin Wu’s surprised expression. “You, you never think, do you? Why would Liu Xu give me a garden estate that I can’t live in? If it really wasn’t suitable, wouldn’t it just be disgusting? Even if you gave him a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to do that!” Slapping his own head, Lin Wu cursed himself for being so stupid.

When they returned to the beach, Abdullah and the others were chatting happily.

Listening to their conversation, it was either about how beautiful a girl was or whether her long legs could break a man’s waist.

“Oh, Zhou Chao, back so soon? Is it because the young lady is too powerful, and you couldn’t handle it?” Si Cong teased as he looked at Zhou Chao, who had just sat down.

“Get lost!”

Zhou Chao looked at Si Cong speechlessly. Why was everyone’s mind filled with thoughts of beautiful women? Couldn’t they talk about something positive?

“Just now, Liu Xu came to see me!”

Si Cong suddenly became interested and sat up straight. “Liu Xu? What did he want? He didn’t come to challenge you, did he?”

“Liu Xu? The guy we met at the bar before, and then he even sent someone to investigate where I lived?” Abdullah also looked curious.

“Yeah, he came to apologize. It was quite a coincidence. He somehow got hold of some of my information and then called Li Yao to inquire. And now, he came to apologize in person!”

“Wow, that’s not like his style at all. You know, he rarely backs down. But then again, thinking about it, encountering someone like you, who is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, makes anyone cautious,” Si Cong remarked with an air of understanding.

“You call me a wolf in sheep’s clothing? Have you ever seen such a handsome and wealthy sheep like me??”

“Yes, right in front of me!” Abdullah nodded firmly.

At that moment, Hou Ting, Lao Piao, and Shu Yi all burst into laughter.

Zhou Chao looked at Abdullah with a wry smile and said, “Abdullah, you’ve been hanging out with Si Cong and the others for too long. How did you all become so mischievous?”

Abdullah chuckled and remarked, “While I was in China, I picked up on a saying: ‘Nice guys finish last.’ So, I’ve decided to be a bit naughty to attract more attention from the ladies!”

With that, he struck a pose, closing his eyes and spreading his arms as if embracing the world..
