Chapter 231 Talents
"Wife, son, I\'m sorry, I can\'t go back."
Cui Hong looked at the broken pieces of his phone on the ground, gritting his teeth. A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes as tears streamed down his face.
As someone who roamed the martial world, he knew who he had offended this time. Even if he managed to escape tomorrow\'s negotiation, Lafayette would never let him go.
He opened the unfinished bottle of Maotai and started drinking recklessly. The more he drank, the more he felt trapped inside, tears flowing, his whole body trembling.
It was his fear of death!
The next day, Wang Chao woke up, opened the window, and looked down at the scenery of Canton City. He felt a sense of relaxation and joy.
Although his hometown was warm and filled with human touch, living in this villa was so comfortable!
Opening the window allowed him to overlook the city\'s landscape and have an intimate encounter with the sunlight.
Moreover, the furniture and decorations here were especially luxurious and comfortable, providing even greater physical and mental pleasure.
"Wang Zuxian has great taste. This decoration suits my preferences."
Wang Chao looked at everything in the house and couldn\'t help but sigh.
Indeed, the taste of a big celebrity is simply amazing.
Living here is exceptionally pleasant.
He entered the bathroom, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and as he changed clothes, Zhao Lu opened her phone. "Brother Wang Chao, the negotiation time is confirmed. Tonight, 9 o\'clock, Zui Xian Lou."
"Okay, I understand," Wang Chao replied.
"Brother Wang Chao, you need to be mentally prepared. Based on the information I\'ve received, Lafayette will be there!" Zhao Lu\'s voice was filled with worry.
Lafayette, the name that can suppress all the families in Canton City.
Whether it\'s the Zhao, Shen, Liu, or Dong families, no force dares to challenge Lafayette alone!
This person is truly the uncrowned king of Canton City, capable of dominating an era!
When negotiating with someone like Lafayette, even figures as prominent as Zhao Donghe and Zhao Shanhe are cautious and full of worry.
"I understand," Wang Chao said lightly.
"Brother Wang Chao, it\'s Lafayette we\'re talking about. Aren\'t you afraid?" Zhao Lu asked.
"Negotiation is about different forces wrestling. The one with the stronger fist gets to decide. What is there to fear?" Wang Chao replied calmly.
"Lafayette, aren\'t you really afraid?"
"Not afraid."
"Brother Wang Chao, you\'re truly amazing. Tonight, I also want to go and see your negotiation."
"I advise you not to come. It\'s better that way," Wang Chao said lightly.
Tonight is undoubtedly a game of power play among various factions. If the negotiations go well, then there won\'t be much to worry about. But if they fail, it will inevitably lead to armed conflict and bloodshed.
Zhao Lu, being a girl, would be greatly affected if she witnessed such bloodshed.
"No, I want to witness your brilliant and heroic negotiation," Zhao Lu said stubbornly and hung up the phone without waiting for Wang Chao\'s response.
Wang Chao: ( ̄△ ̄;)
Are all young ladies from prominent families this stubborn?
What\'s so fascinating about a scene that is bound to be bloody?
It\'s really boring!
Wang Chao felt speechless. After finishing his morning routine, he changed into casual clothes and went downstairs.
At that moment, he saw his mother, Li Han, already preparing breakfast in the kitchen, while Wang Anguo was practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard.
"Dad, you seem to be in a great mood?" Wang Chao smiled.
"Wang Chao, you\'re awake," Wang Anguo turned around, opened his arms, and said with a smile, "You know what, this big courtyard is so comfortable. The air is fresh. I\'ve already run a few laps, and I feel completely refreshed."
Wang Chao smiled, thinking to himself, "With the Feng Shui formation I personally set up, of course, it can bring you comfort and joy."
When they moved in, he had already changed the Feng Shui layout and even set up a gathering formation, continuously condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here.
Without reservation, it can be said that their home now has the most abundant spiritual energy in Canton City.
Living here long-term would greatly improve the health of his parents.
"Dad, I\'ve also learned some Tai Chi techniques. Let me teach you," Wang Chao smiled and walked over, personally guiding Wang Anguo in practicing Tai Chi. "Dad, remember, when performing this movement, you need to slowly inhale."
"When you slowly swing your fist forward, you should exhale slightly, then inhale slowly and sink the breath into the lower abdomen."
"How do I sink the breath into the lower abdomen?"
"Well, let me explain. Just feel the changes in your body and imagine that there\'s breath descending below your belly."
"Also, Dad, your posture is not right. Lower your fist a bit more. Although Tai Chi is about cultivating oneself and nurturing one\'s character, it\'s also a combination of softness and hardness. This punch should be powerful!"
Wang Chao was patient, teaching his father the breathing techniques and guiding him in performing an authentic set of Tai Chi.
At first, Wang Anguo was a bit awkward and struggled to adapt.
However, after twenty minutes, he finally had some understanding and performed the set of movements vigorously, a combination of softness and hardness.
"Dad, I didn\'t expect your martial talent to be so impressive," Wang Chao smiled.
Watching his father grasp it so quickly, he suddenly understood why he made such rapid progress under his master\'s guidance.
It turns out that his martial talent is inherited from Wang Anguo!
"That\'s natural. Your father was the smartest student in Wang Family Village back then. If it weren\'t for your grandfather falling ill, your father and I are certain he would have been a top scorer in the college entrance examination," Wang Anguo proudly declared.
Li Han walked out and glared at Wang Anguo, saying, "You are just bragging. With your grades back then, you could at most attend a bachelor\'s degree program."
"In our generation, a bachelor\'s degree was already impressive, you know? Have you seen Old Xu from the neighboring village? He only attended a junior college, and now he\'s a high-ranking official in a department," Wang Anguo boasted.
Wang Anguo with a triumphant expression continued, "Besides, maybe my talent lies in other areas?"
"I haven\'t seen you achieve anything in other professions either," Li Han retorted.
Wang Anguo: ( ̄△ ̄;) "Can\'t you stop undermining me like this and let me show off in front of our children?"
"Mom, everyone has their own area of expertise. Maybe my dad\'s incredible talent lies in martial arts?" Wang Chao laughed.
"Just humor him, but make sure you do not end up training your dad into a joke like Master Ma. Just stick to creating your Five Chain Whip," Li Han uttered speechlessly.
"Mom, I promise that won\'t happen," Wang Chao replied.
"Yeah, I\'m not the kind of person who seeks fame and reputation," Wang Anguo nodded.
"Alright, let\'s go back and have breakfast," Li Han uttered with a playful scolding tone.
Afterward, she went back into the villa.
Wang Chao and Wang Anguo exchanged glances, burst into laughter, and then the father and son walked into the room side by side.
By this time, Wang Baozhu and Huang Ying had finished getting ready and were sitting at the dining table.
As soon as Huang Ying saw Wang Chao enter, she immediately rushed over and hugged him with a big smile on her face, saying, "Uncle, our room is so comfortable! I really love it here. The bed is so soft, and the blankets smell so nice. Can we live here forever?"
It was the first time she had ever slept on such a comfortable bed.
Last night, she had a particularly sweet sleep and wanted to stay here forever.
"This\'s our home, so of course we can live here forever," Wang Chao stroked Huang Ying\'s hair, overflowing with affection.
"That\'s great, Uncle! I love you!" Huang Ying exclaimed with joy, hugging Wang Chao tightly, smiling happily and excitedly.
Wang Chao smiled, stroking her hair, and lifted her onto a chair.
The whole family was in harmony, enjoying breakfast together.
After breakfast, Wang Chao was getting ready to go to work.
Li Han found him and uttered anxiously, "Wang Chao, accompany me to go back to my hometown."
"Mom, what\'s wrong?"
"I forgot my household registration book in my hometown. Can you take me there to retrieve it?"
"Okay."
Wang Chao drove the car, taking Li Han back to her hometown.
When they arrived at the alleyway of their old home, they noticed a police motorcycle parked in front of their house, with a police officer in uniform standing at the doorway.
"A policeman? What\'s happening? Did someone in our family commit a crime?" Li Han\'s heart trembled at the sight.
