As soon as He Huai saw the contact name on the screen, he wished he could scratch the walls. With a swift tap of his fingertip, he answered the call.
“Hey! Big nephew, have you dug out any information?” Without waiting for him to speak, the voice on the other end couldn’t contain its impatience.
“Little Seventh Uncle, you’re driving me crazy!” He Huai clenched his teeth.
“I’ll warn you one last time, drop the ‘Little’ or I’ll get angry. I just wanted you to find out if the bracelet is still with Shen Qian. Why do you make such a big fuss?”
“I have all the right to do so!” Young Master He’s voice was filled with frustration.
There was a pause on the other end, then a serious tone. “What’s the situation?”
“…I’ve been found out.”
“Tsk, He Huai, you’re really foolish.”
“Seventh Uncle, I’m not kidding! Shen Qian is so shrewd; he has probably already figured out that someone has their eye on his collection. You better be cautious too.”
“Heh, am I supposed to be afraid of him?!”
He Huai pondered for a moment. “Although Shen Qian appears gentle and refined, he’s famous for being protective. If you want to take something from him, be prepared to lose a chunk of flesh.”
The other side didn’t seem convinced, maintaining a casual tone. “Oh, that sounds quite formidable. So, are you certain that Ares Tear’ is in his possession and hasn’t been given away?”
“Yes!”
“OK, you’ve done well.”
“Wait, Seventh Uncle—”
“What is it?”
“About… when are you going to deliver the car you promised to give me?” He Huai muttered softly.
“Why the rush? Didn’t your dad give you a Koenigsegg just last week? You change cars more often than change my underwear. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”
“No, it doesn’t.”
“Alright, alright, look at you, such a miser. I won’t go back on my word! I just paid the deposit, it hasn’t been delivered yet. It should be here in a week or two.”
“That won’t do…” He Huai was restless, but then his eyes lit up suddenly. “Seventh Uncle, how about lending me your flashy yellow McLaren Pl for a couple of days?”
“You must be kidding! Ever heard of the saying, ‘One woman, two husbands’? You can be sloppy with food, but when it comes to your car, you don’t let just anyone drive it!”
“Seventh Uncle, I promise I’ll cherish it with my life, treat it like a mistress… No, like an ancestral deity!”
There was a moment of contemplation on the other end, and the tone seemed to soften slightly. “Are you short on money recently? Why are you so fixated on my car?”
He Huai sensed an opportunity and instantly perked up. “Tonight, to help you gather information, I not only offended a good buddy but also lost my new Koenigsegg. So, Young Seventh Uncle, you must be responsible for… the car!”
“Hey, you’re really stupid,” he said with the tone of an elder, speaking earnestly.
“So, Seventh Uncle, you’ve agreed, right?” He Huai smiled on the surface but inwardly cursed, “Motherfucker.”
Lushen hesitated, struggling to make his case. “You’ve already lost one car. Don’t you have other cars? There’s no need to target me. Big nephew, Uncle is quite broke too, really! Look, not only am I living as a guest at Dongli Villa, I can’t even eat enough, and my sleep is terrible.”
“…” He Huai gave up.
He Huai currently resents his own decisions, blaming himself for his recklessness and gambling with others. Now, he realized he should have been more cautious or wise in his choices. Darn it!
“Those cars are all old; they don’t match her. 1 want a new car! A new car!”
“Her?” Lushen raised an eyebrow. “A woman?”
“Yeah.”
“A girlfriend?”
“Not yet.” He Huai muttered.
“Well, in the pursuit stage, I understand.”
“Seventh Uncle, just agree to it. When 1 win the goddess over, your Pl will be the matchmaker.. On the day we get married, we’ll definitely give it a big red envelope!”
