Something urgent?

Father is always composed. Since he said it’s something urgent, it definitely isn’t a small matter.

Hong Dali instantly packed up the jewelry he made. After exiting the room, he gave everyone one each and snapped his fingers. “I’m heading head home now, my Dad called for me.”

Since the Master needed to see the Young Master for something, naturally, it couldn’t be delayed. Everyone instantly boarded the cars and headed back.

Very quickly, they returned to Hongwu Villa.

“Mum, I’m back. Where’s Dad?” Hong Dali threw his schoolbag onto the sofa upon entering the house and placed Quentin onto the floor, letting it run around the house. As he took off his shoes, he asked, “Dad said he had something urgent, what is it?”

“It’s about the Liu Family, something happened to them.” Lan Ruoxi pulled Hong Dali down onto the sofa and with some puzzlement, said, “By right, they shouldn’t be asking for our help when something happened to them, and especially asked for you to go over too. Your Dad is afraid that they might be plotting something and is making calls in the room right now.”

“The Liu Family?” Hong Dali was surprised. “Mum, you are talking about Liu Mingxin and his family?”

Someone from the Liu Family, and he was looking for his Father. Hong Dali reckoned that they must be from Liu Mingxin’s branch.

“Yes, it’s them.” As expected, Lan Ruoxi nodded. “I’m not sure of the details. Our relationship with them isn’t very good in the first place, so we naturally can’t just directly go over. Wait for a bit, your Dad should be coming out soon.”

“OK!” Hong Dali nodded. Then, he took out the Jade Goddess of Mercy that he prepared for her. “Mum, this is for you. Quick, put it on. This is something good, it can help to preserve your beauty and health!”

“You little rascal.” Lan Ruoxi was immediately amused. “It’s rare of you to be so filial...” Then, she was stunned. “You are asking me to wear this? Is this a door god or a malevolent spirit!?”

It was no wonder she was so surprised. Hong Dali didn’t have any artistic genes in him at all, the Goddess of Mercy he made was like a malevolent spirit...

“Er, this is the Goddess of Mercy. Look, isn’t she sitting on a lotus?” Hong Dali pointed at the base that looked like a wheel.

“This...” Lan Ruoxi was speechless. However, she didn’t reject her son. “Then, I shall put this on for now.” Once she put it on, she was dazed. “Ah, you don’t say, this thing really seems to be quite good. After I put it on, my whole body feels more comfortable. Where did you buy this? Get one for your Dad too!”

Health +7, the effect is definitely very useful!

Hong Dali beamed with delight. “He has one too, I prepared a tobacco pipe for him, hehe.”

“Yo, our little prodigal has come home? What did you buy for me? Quick, let me take a look!” Very quickly, Hong Weiguo came out of his room, already dressed in a formal suit. “Is it something like those electromagnetic negative ion therapy stuff?”

Hong Weiguo naturally had heard of such health products before.

“No, this is a health protection tobacco pipe.” Hong Dali grinned and took out the health +7 tobacco pipe. “This is really good. Try it, Dad!”

“Oh? This is a... tobacco pipe!?” Hong Weiguo looked at the jade tobacco pipe in his hand that looked like a cucumber and his face obviously twitched. However, he instantly felt different. “Ah, you don’t say, this thing really feels quite good when I’m holding it. Yup, it feels kind of warm. Huh? My shoulder doesn’t ache as much anymore too. This is really a good item, haha! It’s rare for our little prodigal to have such a filial heart!”

Speaking up to this point, Hong Weiguo proudly put some strands of cigarette inside and lit it up. As he smoked, he shook his head around and said, “Good, this is really good! The taste is much better than before. Yup, my spirit seems to have lightened and my eyes are brighter too. Good!”

“Stop reveling in it.” Lan Ruoxi was anxious. “Hurry up, tell us. What’s wrong with the Liu Family? They caused such a big commotion and asked for Dali, have you found out the reason?”

This was an important matter, they must definitely get to the bottom of it.

“I have found out the reason.” Hong Weiguo took a puff and gradually said, “Old Master Liu from the Liu Family is ill—stomach cancer early stage. Liu Yihui is very anxious now and heard from that child Liu Mingxin that Dali’s luck has always been very good, so he wishes for me to bring Dali over to bring in some fortune and luck to them.”

“I see...” Lan Ruoxi thought for a while and said, “Although we didn’t get along with them in the past, the situation has changed quite a bit lately. Although the business field is akin to the battlefield, there isn’t a need to see each other as enemies. Oh right, what did they say?”

“This time, Liu Yihui’s attitude was very polite.” Hong Weiguo said in a deep voice. “Our differences aside, he is indeed a filial son. Now that his father is ill, he is very worried about him. Just now, he apologized to me and said that as long as Dali is willing to go over to see his father, they will not fight against us anymore. If we want to cooperate, he is willing to just take a small share. This old fellow, his filial piety is really quite rare nowadays. If it wasn’t for this reason, I wouldn’t have agreed.”

Hong Weiguo’s words were heartfelt.

After all, for large enterprises like theirs, any project would cost a few hundred million worths of investment. Liu Yihui said that he was willing to just take a small share if they cooperate, that was akin to using his money to strengthen the Hong Family. His sincerity this time was really quite large.

“Oh, it’s Liu Mingxin’s grandfather that’s ill?” By this time, Hong Dali understood the situation too. “Then, I need to call him Grandfather too, right? Stomach cancer early stage? In that case, I should indeed go take a look. Speaking of which, Old Liu is quite a nice guy, hehe.” After saying this, Hong Dali searched through his bag. “I can’t go empty handed later, I shall give Grandfather Liu a pair of health balls. They might be useful...”

Speaking of which, my luck is really quite good. I have only just made the health balls and someone is ill. Just that in this case, Second Grandfather Hong Wei will have to share one pair of health balls with Big Grandfather Hong Tu. They can probably rotate with playing the health balls every five minutes...

“This pair of health balls...” Once Hong Weiguo saw what Hong Dali took out, he was immediately stunned. “This thing is similar to the tobacco pipe, right?”

“Ah, that’s right.” Hong Dali nodded. “They are all from the same piece of jade. It should be of help for Grandfather Liu’s condition.”

“Hahaha! Good child, your luck is really...” Hong Weiguo finally understood the phrase “any kind of strength must also kneel before Dali’s luck” and deeply believed in it. This fellow was really like a timely rain!

From now on, he shall be called “The Timely Rain Hong Dali”!

Now that everything was prepared, the two of them instantly moved out. Hong Weiguo said, “Then, let’s move out now. Speaking of which, we have been fighting with the Liu Family for so many years, this may be a chance to change this situation.”

“OK, let’s go.” Hong Dali wore his shoes and followed Hong Weiguo out.

That’s why people always said that those who are kind and uncalculating would always be lucky. If Hong Dali was a selfish person, he naturally would not have had all these good fortunes—it wasn’t for no reason that Hong Dali was so well-liked by so many people.

On the way, Hong Weiguo obviously had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask about this marvelous tobacco pipe. After holding it in for a long while, he finally asked, “Dali, this tobacco pipe... Is it something you made yourself?”

What he originally wanted to ask was where he bought it from. However, after thinking for a bit, he knew that his son was becoming more and more amazing recently, there were many things that he shouldn’t ask in detail. If not, he would make things difficult for him. If Hong Dali wanted to tell him, he would naturally have told him without asking. If Hong Dali didn’t want to tell him, he wouldn’t say even if he asked him. Therefore, it was enough for him to have just a simple understanding.

“Yup, I went for stone gambling tonight.” Hong Dali didn’t keep this from Hong Weiguo, just that he skipped the crucial part. “And I got this jade as a result, so I asked someone to make it into different jewelry and stuff. Hehe, Dad, is this thing useful?”

“Ah, it is! It’s quite useful!” Hong Weiguo didn’t probe further. Such things couldn’t be investigated in too much detail, it was enough that he understood the situation.

This kind of thinking was similar to many parents telling their child to “not tell anyone and hide your fortune” when their child earned money.

Very quickly, they reached Tianjing University of Medicine’s affiliated hospital. Once Hong Weiguo and Hong Dali alighted, they saw someone they didn’t expect to see.

Liu Mingcheng hurriedly rushed up and, upon seeing Hong Dali, immediately begged him. “Young Master Dali, I was wrong in the past. I deserve to die. If you have any unhappiness, direct them towards me! Even if you hit or beat me, I won’t say a word!”

Last time in school, this fellow always didn’t get along with Hong Dali. Now, for his Grandfather Liu Zhongyuan, he was really throwing everything away.

Hong Weiguo obviously knew of the fact that Liu Mingcheng had been mocking his son Hong Dali in school last time. However, it was normal for children to bicker. As a father, he naturally wouldn’t find trouble because of this. Therefore, he never took it to heart. However, seeing Liu Mingcheng’s behavior now, he was indeed quite surprised.

Hong Weiguo wanted to secretly pull Hong Dali to hint him, but Hong Dali had already fiercely hammered Liu Mingcheng in the chest, smiled and said, “That’s enough, what’s in the past is in the past. I have already smashed your car and beat you up before. Hehe, let’s just call it quits?”

“This... This...” Liu Mingcheng couldn’t believe that Hong Dali would let things pass so easily—Hong Dali’s fist wasn’t a pain at all...

After being stunned for two seconds, Liu Mingcheng hurriedly pulled Hong Dali and rushed into the hospital. “Young Master Dali, there isn’t a need to say anything else. From now on, Turkey Bookstore is yours. Once it combines with your Zhong Dian website, it will become the biggest online bookstore in the Heavenly State. I just beg you to save my Grandfather, please!”

“Huh?” Hong Dali was surprised. “Don’t be like this. I’m just a prodigal, not a divine doctor. Don’t say your words with such confidence, I can’t bear them. If not, you might as well just kill me...”

“I wouldn’t dare to do that!” Liu Mingcheng said in a low voice. “When I was young, my Grandfather treated me the best. At that time, I even rode on his shoulder and ran around in the district. My Grandmother left us early, we only have Grandfather left. Please, you must help us! No matter what, please help us!”

Speaking of which, although Liu Mingcheng and Hong Dali were rivals, was a bit arrogant, and had a ton of flaws, that didn’t mean he treated his family the same way.

Everyone had friends and families, everyone had someone who was dear to them. Therefore, it wasn’t strange that Liu Mingcheng was so worried and anxious about someone.

“Aren’t you talking rubbish, what am I here for?” Hong Dali sniffled. Actually, he could emphasize with Liu Mingcheng’s feelings. If he was in Liu Mingcheng’s shoes, he would be anxious too!
