Chapter 147 - A Piece of Unexpected Fortune (1/2)

Chapter 147 A Piece of Unexpected Fortune“So why didn’t you stop him then?” Liu Shuai crumpled his brow and pondered. He shook his head and grumbled about Hao Ning. “Long Fei was too impatient. At least he should have waited and discussed with us. It might have turned out better.”

“How could I stop him?” Hao Ning took on a bitter smile. He had thought about that at that time, “No more than 10 minutes after Long Fei discovered that thing did he leave. When it occurred to me that I had to stop him, he was already gone.”

“Then couldn’t you chase him?” Liu Shuai continued his groan, “Xiao He once chased Han Xin in the moonlight, so why couldn’t you imitate a “Hao Ning chased Long Fei in the lamplight”?”

“No more jokes.” Hao Ning was teased to both laugh and temper, “Are you perplexed by your too much concern? Long Fei left by water release. He had disappeared in one moment, so how could I chase him? Should I use Sliding-over-the-water or Changeable movements of ghost? They were not even at the same level.”

“Eh…” Liu Shuai got blushed at Hao Ning’s words. It was true that he was being so anxious just now that he had unlearned the most basic facts. But unwilling to admit that he had got mixed under such impendency, he persisted, “Isn’t it your fault not knowing any spells? If Zhou Yuan were here, Long Fei wouldn’t even get the chance to flee.”

“I won’t waste my time tangling with you!” How could Hao Ning overlook that Liu Shuai was biting off more than he could chew? In other words, Liu Shuai wouldn’t admit that he was wrong. So Hao Ning spared the time of arguing with him, frowned at the tail of the words and signed, “What should we do now? Long Fei is doomed to misfortune this time, while we can do nothing to help.”

“Not absolutely. We’d better not worry that much.” Zhou Yuan pondered and shook his head, “Anyway, all above is just our speculation. It’s not meant to be true. On this incident, maybe we’ve subjectively figured that Yufei’s death was too weird at the beginning, so now we presume it complicated more than it actually is.”

Seeing that Hao Ning was about to counter, Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, “You guys have a thought. Qingbei University has been the focus of widest attentions. How could we not know it if something really happened? Besides, even Long Fei, the Dragon God can have studied there, safe and sound, until he got his doctor diploma. It could prove that Qingbei University is relatively secure. Moreover, in the past years, he didn’t even notice anything unusual as a god. Therefore, maybe nothing unusual really lies in Qingbei University. It’s possible that the incident of Yufei was just an accident. It might have happened just because Yufei had been somewhere before.”

“Hope that everything goes as you say.” Hao Ning nodded. He had to admit that Zhou Yuan’s analysis made sense.

“No, I need a talk with Mr. Chen, and I’ll ask him to tell Mr. Ren about that.” Liu Shuai suddenly raised to his foot, got his mobile and looked for numbers, murmuring to himself, “To let Mr. Ren know that Long Fei is back to Qingbei. Such news spreading out, even if they are at Qingbei University now, they won’t dare to do anything to him.”

After saying that, Liu Shuai walked out, intended for a phone call. Nobody expected that someone opened the door. The three looked there and found that it was Lele. Seeing them, her anxious face broke into a smile, “You’re here. Liu Shuai, Hao Ning, CEO is calling for you. Hurry up!”

“CEO? Call for us?” Hao Ning and Liu Shuai peered at Lele questioningly. Then they turned to Zhou yuan. He opened his hands, indicating that he knew nothing. So, they inquired Lele, “Haven’t you got it wrong? Isn’t Yang Laode who’s needed?”

“Eh… It’s hard to explain. Anyway, that’s what the CEO told me.” Lele pouted, “I heard that the CEO originally wanted to look for Yang Laode. But out of some reasons, he calls for you directly.”

It was understandable that Hao Ning and Liu Shuai felt confused. On paper, their direct supervisor was Yang Laode. Even if the CEO had some commissions, he shouldn’t have come to them directly. In their company, Kangxi Emperor’s travel incognito didn’t prevail. If the CEO cut into the stuff of front-line employees, not only would the managers from the middle class and top class find it hard to conduct their work, but also the employees would figure it weird.

In this case, Liu Shuai could do nothing but go to the CEO’s office with Hao Ning first. He planned to call Mr. Chen later after the meeting.

“Here are you. Come and have a seat.” As soon as they got into the office, they saw the CEO seated facing the door and two customers with their back to the door. Entering the room, before they recognized the two comers, the CEO had asked them to come in with a face full of smile.

“President Hai, Manager Wen, these are Hao Ning and Liu Shuai.” CEO told the two.

Then the two turned back. Manager Wen unknown to them, another guy called President Hai was too familiar. He was Nezha!
