Chapter 382: Chapter 318: Revealed: Xu Zilan’s Secret
...
Gao Neng and Wu Qingjing had an agreement.
The agreement was to enter the Underground City in ten days, meaning he had three days left on the surface.
The morning’s gene weapon demonstration, which included some minor procedures, didn’t actually end until around one in the afternoon.
His original plan was to find Li Tiannan and ask for his help arranging the establishment of the military academy in the Forgotten Land.
However, Li Tiannan hadn’t shown up for the past fifteen days, nor had he sent any messages. Gao Neng guessed the approval process for the military academy hadn’t come through yet.
This was actually quite normal.
After all, establishing a military academy was no simple task. Furthermore, it involved assembling a team of instructors, and there were too many uncontrollable factors.
Gao Neng didn’t wait in the room arranged for him by the Federation Government.
He chose to find his mom, Xu Zilan, first.
Besides, even if Li Tiannan had news, he could be found at a moment’s notice. Gao Neng wasn’t worried about that.
He returned to his room and packed his bags.
Gao Neng headed out the door.
Not long after he stepped outside, he saw a beautiful woman in professional attire, waving frantically at him.
"Hua Quanquan?" Gao Neng hadn’t seen Hua Quanquan in a while. If things had gone according to plan, she should have been managing his studio.
But he hadn’t visited the studio recently, so he figured Hua Quanquan must have had a lot of free time on her hands.
"Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao! Over here!" Hua Quanquan shouted as she waved, afraid Gao Neng wouldn’t see her.
"Quanquan, what are you doing here?" After a moment’s thought, Gao Neng walked over.
"Chairman Fang and President Guan told me to wait for you here. They said I should take you to the entrance of the Underground City." Hua Quanquan was visibly excited, but her words were perfectly clear.
A true professional beauty.
And her name was quite lovely, too.
"The Underground City? I’m not going just yet. I’ll be going in three days. Otherwise..." Gao Neng had a good idea of what Fang Yuan was thinking.
Fang Tangtang had already gone down to the Underground City. Guan San’s old job as his driver probably couldn’t be done so openly anymore. Besides, knowing Gao Neng’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t call Guan San to act as his chauffeur.
Plus, Guan San’s position in the Celestial King Group wasn’t low. As Fang Yuan’s butler, setting aside his other responsibilities, having him wait here for Gao Neng would seem far too deliberate.
So, Hua Quanquan was an excellent choice.
She was already an employee of Gao Neng’s studio and on his payroll. Having her act as his driver and temporary secretary was the perfect arrangement.
"Not for another three days? That’s perfect! Wherever you want to go, Mr. Gao, I can take you!" Hua Quanquan said, puffing out her chest as soon as she heard him.
Of course, she added a silent thought in her head: ’It’s been a while, and Mr. Gao has gotten even more handsome! Wow... I finally get to be his secretary again!’
"Is that so? Alright then. I’m going to see my mother. You can come with me." Gao Neng nodded, not intending to refuse.
After all, he had already figured out Fang Yuan’s arrangement.
Refuse?
There was no need.
"Going to see your mother? Of course!" Hua Quanquan immediately agreed. Then, she dashed to a parking spot and drove out in a black, Hummer-style vehicle.
Gao Neng stared at the vehicle, a little dumbfounded.
’What a beast of a car!’
As an Energy Warrior, he could tell at a glance what material the car was made of. Its entire body was forged from a solid black alloy.
It could definitely stop bullets.
Furthermore, it looked like it had some ’weapon’ systems installed inside.
He didn’t even have to guess to know this was Fang Yuan’s handiwork.
It seemed that after learning of his talent, Chairman Fang of the Celestial King Group had really gone to great lengths for him. The security measures were top-notch.
However, Hua Quanquan wasn’t very tall, so seeing her drive this Hummer-style armored vehicle gave off a bit of a "beauty and the beast" vibe.
Gao Neng didn’t mind much and hopped right in.
He sat in the passenger seat.
As Gao Neng got into the passenger seat, a clear blush spread across Hua Quanquan’s face, and her hands, gripping the steering wheel, trembled slightly.
’Mr. Gao sat in the passenger seat! He didn’t sit in the back.’
’So thoughtful!’
"VROOOM!" She slammed on the gas.
The vehicle roared out of the gates of the residential area arranged by the Federation Government.
Following the directions Gao Neng gave her, Hua Quanquan drove on. After about fifteen minutes, she pulled over.
"Mr. Gao, please wait in the car for a moment. I’m going to buy something."
"Hmm?" By the time Gao Neng looked up, Hua Quanquan had already vanished in a flash, giving him no chance to question or object.
A moment later, Hua Quanquan returned.
She was now carrying an exquisite gift box and some seasonal fruits.
Gao Neng didn’t know what the gift was, nor did he ask. But he naturally guessed Hua Quanquan’s intention: it was a present for his mother, Xu Zilan.
A career woman like her was indeed very thoughtful in these matters.
Gao Neng didn’t say anything, nor did he ask.
The car moved forward again.
An hour later, they reached their destination.
This was the address Xu Zilan had given Gao Neng. He had never been here before, so now that he had arrived for the first time, he took a serious look at the surroundings.
