Chapter: 4247

"Later on, your parents returned to the country together, and before they left, they gave me a way to contact them, hoping that I could come find them after I graduate from Yenching University, but I was worried about something, so I ended up going back to Hong Kong."

Leaf Autumn nodded slightly as he listened.

He actually wanted to know how Chen Zhaozhong had been targeted for elimination by the big shots in Hong Kong later on.

However, he thought that such questions were generally sensitive for the parties involved and not suitable for asking face-to-face, so he just let it pass and smiled and said, "So you and my father knew each other because of our hiking trip."

Chen Zhaozhong chuckled and nodded, looking at Leaf Autumn and asking, "Young Master Ye, don't you want to know how I ended up being targeted for elimination in Hong Kong?"

Leaf Autumn's eyes widened slightly before he smoothly followed up with, "Uncle Chen, I'm not hiding from you the truth - I'm indeed very curious..."

"Haha!" Chen Zhaozhong laughed heartily and said, "That's a well-known story on Hong Kong Island almost nobody doesn't know... Let me tell you, it wasn't something I was afraid of Young Master Ye laughing at. After I returned to Hong Kong, my father's health wasn't too good, so he hoped that I could take over his roast goose shop."

"Although I was young and had helped him out many times in the past and learned some of his secrets, I was a progressive individual who had received higher education, and I was proud, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and shut down the shop myself, using that money to start my own business, specializing in asset management for wealthy individuals."

"Later on, I helped a well-known Liu surname businessman from Hong Kong manage his assets, and within three years, his assets had increased fivefold. He was very pleased and called me into his company to say, 'Ah Chen, you've earned so much money for me, I don't know how to reward you...'"

"Chen Zhaozhong's eyes lit up as he listened to this part, and he said: "I looked at him and said: 'Mr. Liu, the young lady being raised in your mansion on Shizhuan Road is my high school sweetheart from back then. I loved her, and she loved me...'"

"When I was determined to pursue my studies, I would have definitely left her behind. And she wouldn't have agreed to become your concubine and become a treasure in your harem if not for the turmoil at home and having no way out..."

"Now that I have some ability, I'm proud to be able to give her a happy life, so can you please consider my face and return her to me...?"

Leaf Autumn and Qiu Qi both stared with their mouths agape, unable to imagine that Chen Zhaozhong was being hunted down for a woman.

At this point, Chen Zhaozhong sighed and lamented, "I thought he wouldn't look at a monk's face or a Buddha's face, but at least would look at the face of wealth. And with so many women surrounding him, including those who were worshipped as goddesses by Hong Kong's celebrities, it was unknown how many were bewitched by him..."

As he said this, his tone changed and he mocked himself, "But I calculated every possibility, except for one - that this playboy would truly love my first love..."

"At the time, I had just finished saying this when he immediately ordered his men to grab me and beat me up. After beating me, he pointed his gun at my forehead and asked if I had given him a green hat..."

As he spoke, Chen Zhaozhong sighed in resignation, "I, Chen Zhaozhong, have stood tall and walked straight all my life, how could I possibly give someone else the green hat? When I expressed my feelings to my first love, she gave her consent before I told that Mr. Liu the truth... And I was consumed by guilt, so I worked hard to help him earn money, hoping he would support us..."

On the side, Qiu Qi asked nervously, "Then what happened? What did he say?"

"Then he said what?!" Chen Zhaozhong repeated himself, sighed, and resignedly said: "Of course, he wouldn't believe me. He said I must have given him a green hat and that no matter how I explained it, he wouldn't be moved."

"But later on, he said, considering the money's worth, he could forgive me this one time and let me go back to nurse my wounds and think clearly;"

"If I nursed my wounds well and continued to help him earn money, then he would consider everything that had happened as if it never did. Otherwise, he would take my life."

He said this, Chen Zhaozhong smiled and added: "But he couldn't have imagined what I would do when I decided to tell him all this. By the time I was ready, I had already made arrangements for my first love to be waiting for me at the hospital near Liu's company with her passport, ready to escape together."

Yè Chen was shocked and asked: "Did you expect him to beat you up in a hospital?"

"Well, not really," Chen Zhaozhong smiled. "If I knew he would do that, I would have taken my first love and run away privately, avoiding all the beating."

He continued: "To be honest, at the time, I thought there were only three possible outcomes;" JrNovels.com
