Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 720 Eye of the Storm, Gentle Paradise, and Shura Field

"...Do you remember the little water bowl my grandmother asked you to give to Huang Kewu?"

After listening to the complicated story of Mei Sulan, Zhong Aihua's family, Huang Kewu, and the Five Families, Xu Yuan nodded with mixed feelings.

“When Huang Kewu came to Hong Kong this time, my grandmother and I made a special trip to meet him. We just wanted to tell Huang Kewu that the small water vessel was made from porcelain clay mixed with the ashes of his son, the son he had killed with his own hands. This was the first time the father and son had met.”

Xu Yuan felt a chill run through her body. Zhong Aihua spoke of it casually, but what resentment and pain was hidden in that small water bowl? Even as an observer, Xu Yuan felt a chill run down her spine; one can only imagine how great the blow must have been for Huang Kewu, the person directly involved.

"Unfortunately, it all fell through. That bitch Huang Yanyan prevented my grandmother from meeting Huang Kewu and used her power to issue an arrest warrant for my grandmother. She's still being held in the police station..."

Zhong Aihua did not continue speaking, but his body was trembling, clearly suppressing his excitement and anger.

"Hoo—" Zhong Aihua took a deep breath and said to Xu Yuan with resentment in his eyes, "An organization like this, a group of people, shameless and treacherous, and you still think you're upholding justice? Think about it carefully." After saying that, he walked out of the room.

Chen Dazhi, who had been silent all along, stepped forward, patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, this is more exciting than a movie, isn't it? In comparison, we at Bairuilian are much more ethical. All our painstaking efforts are for the great benefit of the Chinese antique industry."

After saying that, he turned and left. The door slammed shut, leaving Xu Yuan alone in the room.

Xu Yuan sat in the chair, closed his eyes, and slowly digested everything Zhong Aihua had said. In the end, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and gave up thinking.

There's no point in thinking about these things now. In three days, the public confrontation between the two versions of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" will begin. Whether he can make it in time is a big question.

Their only hope lay with Huang Kewu and Huang Yanyan outside; they hoped they could find a way to rescue them. They didn't even know if Fang Zhen, who had been hit, was in any danger.

Just as Xu Yuan had said, news of his kidnapping quickly spread throughout Hong Kong, and the media went crazy, besieging not only Bai Ruilian Company but also the police station.

What was originally a controversy confined to the antique world has turned into a storm of conspiracies, rumors, and gossip, with all parties tearing each other apart and engaging in a power struggle, all because of Xu Yuan's kidnapping.

Pressured from above, they were told that Xu Yuan had to be found within three days. Hong Kong police went on a frenzied search for him throughout the city, causing chaos and disorder.

Despite knowing Xu Yuan's location, Gao Dongxu remained completely unmoved, continuing to indulge in his romantic escapades.

Gao Dongxu, holding Xiaoxue's incredibly slender waist, her pretty face flushed, her hair loose and slightly disheveled, looked down the stairs and smiled at the other five women sitting on the living room sofa with teasing smiles, saying, "My darlings, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting—"

The five women each gave him a coquettish glance. They wore diamond-patterned tank tops that were slim and flattering, highlighting their good looks. Their pretty faces were delicate, their eyebrows were like willow branches, and their lips were red. They wore two braids, revealing their fair shoulders and showing off their graceful figures. They were absolutely sexy and alluring. Su Yan's bright eyes sparkled with a playful light as she looked at Xiao Xue, who was shyly and sweetly snuggling in Gao Dongxu's arms, and teased her.

"You went upstairs to deliver coffee and call people, and you were doing that for more than half an hour. Your voice must be hoarse by now, right?"

"Hehe... I don't know if your voice is hoarse or not, but you've definitely eaten your fill." She was wearing only a pink shirt with the collar wide open, revealing her fair shoulders and a hint of conscience as she teased him with a charming smile.

Ru Xin, who was wearing a black and yellow floral fitted tank top dress, laughed and teased, "People, no matter how nice their words are, like 'sisters united,' just listen to them. When they're cheating, they don't think about their sisters at all. Don't you think so, Xiao Xue?"

"Not necessarily. When she's so full she can't eat anymore, she'll definitely think of us. After all, with her skinny arms and legs, even if she eats as much as she wants, she only has that much appetite. If she eats too much, she'll definitely throw up. You've all seen that before..."

Wearing a pink top, black denim shorts, and a gold necklace, with her belly button and long, beautiful legs slightly exposed, her skin as white as snow, her slender hands supporting her waist, her pretty face pure and beautiful, her features delicate, her long hair flowing, exuding exotic beauty, Ah Ning looked at the ashamed and indignant Xiao Xue and sneered mockingly.

"Hmph, you have no right to laugh at me. You're all show and no substance, but I've never seen you that good. You're all show and no substance..." Seeing that she had angered everyone, Xiaoxue snuggled into Gao Dongxu's arms, who had a mocking smile on his face, and wrinkled her small nose as she retorted to A Ning, who was the most petite and hadn't been bullied as badly as her.

"Hahaha..." The other four women and Gao Dongxu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You brat, you just wait—" Ah Ning blushed with embarrassment and anger, glaring at Xiao Xue who was shaking her head, sticking out her tongue, and making faces at her, threatening her.

"Darling, she threatened me—" Xiaoxue wrapped her arms around Gao Dongxu's neck, pouting seductively as she spoke.

Looking at Xiaoxue's incredibly pure and delicate face, yet revealing a strikingly alluring and seductive charm, Gao Dongxu directly cupped her bottom with both hands, picked her up, and kissed her red lips like a koala. He raised an eyebrow and smiled, "She bullied you, so I'll bully her in return—" "You're so annoying~~~" Xiaoxue playfully punched Gao Dongxu in an annoyed tone.

"Hehe..." Everyone chuckled again.

Wearing a white vest dress, Gu Shengnan, with her elegant and lively demeanor and fresh and lovely appearance, smiled sweetly at Gao Dongxu and said softly, "Let's eat, the food will get cold soon."

"Okay—" Gao Dongxu held Xiaoxue, who was snuggling against his shoulder, with one hand, and wrapped the other arm around Gu Shengnan's waist, whose pretty face was flushed, her eyes were alluring, and her eyelids were slightly lowered. He smiled and said, "My little cook is the best. When it's time to eat, you'll feed me—"

The other five women rolled their eyes coquettishly, while Gu Shengnan gave a shy and soft "hmm," her mind wandering as Gao Dongxu pulled her into the restaurant.

While the six women were having dinner with Gao Dongxu, the cell phone on the table rang.

Gao Dongxu reached for the phone, and upon seeing that it was Director Luo, said to the six women, "Keep quiet—"

The five women, who had been chattering and laughing, all fell silent and turned to look at Gao Dongxu.

Gao Dongxu answered the phone, holding the phone in one hand and touching Gu Shengnan's conscience with the other. Since Gu Shengnan always sat on his lap and fed him, his hands were free, which didn't delay him from doing other things at all.

"...Director Luo, everything is under control. Don't worry, it will definitely not get out of control. I've checked on him, Fang Zhen is fine. I will definitely get justice for him, and no one will escape... Hehe, I'm just trying to have a legitimate reason for my actions. I didn't mean to frame Xu Yuan..."

While explaining to Director Luo with a smile, Gao Dongxu gestured to Gu Shengnan, whose pretty face was flushed and whose eyes were full of charm, that he wanted to drink the iced wine.

With rapid breathing, Gu Shengnan reached for the amber-colored ice wine glass, took a big gulp, and then handed it to Gao Dongxu.

The other five women looked on with a sense of helplessness and resignation, shaking their heads. There was nothing they could do; their man was a typical arrogant, extravagant, and incompetent ruler.

“Director Luo, a mere Bai Ruilian probably doesn’t have the guts or strength to confront the Five Families, or even us… That’s right, this time I’m going to find out who or what forces are behind this… There are too many troublemakers here. Since I’ve run into them, I should teach these ungrateful scoundrels a lesson in blood. What do you say?”

He gulped down the sweet ice wine, a drop of it spilling from the corner of his mouth, and sneered sharply.

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's words, the six women all stopped what they were doing, their eyes filled with excitement, curiosity, and worry, each harboring their own thoughts as they looked at him.

Gao Dongxu gave the six women a reassuring smile, while simultaneously condemning Gu Shengnan's conscience for stopping the feeding, and continued speaking to Director Luo on the other end of the phone: "You and all the big shots can rest assured, I guarantee I'll handle things perfectly..."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Dongxu placed it on the dining table, gesturing with both hands in condemnation. Listening to Gu Shengnan's cat-like meows, he smiled and asked A Ning, "Have you heard anything from your brother?"

"Yes, we've already found out about Chen Dazhi's villa, and we can visit him anytime!" Ah Ning said calmly, her beautiful eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Sigh, the leaders are worried about things getting out of control, and that things might get complicated if they delay. They want me to close the net as soon as possible to ensure things are resolved smoothly." Gao Dongxu hugged Gu Shengnan, whose round, pretty face was flushed and whose beautiful eyes were watery, and after saying this, he kissed her red lips.

"Then let's close the net. We need to find out who the mastermind is from Chen Dazhi. It would be best if Xu Yuan's side also made a move at the same time. I'm worried that Zhong Aihua might do something desperate." A Ning frowned and analyzed.

"Well, let Fugui, Erpang, and Fusheng go rescue Xuyuan. Let's go visit Mr. Chen, who's known for getting anything done in Hong Kong. I want to see if he really can do anything," Gao Dongxu chuckled.

"Can the three of them handle it?" Ru Qing asked, frowning. Ru Qing acknowledged the fighting skills of Fu Gui and Er Pang, but asking them to rescue people was somewhat risky.

"It will definitely work, I trust them." Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile, his eyes gleaming. The three of them were his confidants, and as such, they naturally had to grow and improve with him. But how could they grow and improve without shedding blood?
After dinner, Gao Dongxu called Fugui, Erpang, and Fusheng over and assigned them the task of rescuing Xuyuan. The three of them agreed without hesitation, grabbed their weapons, and drove to Tuen Mun.

As for Gao Dongxu, before visiting the arrogant Chen Sheng, he invited Su Yan and the nearly melted Gu Shengnan to bathe together as a sign of respect for Chen Sheng.
