Chapter 178: Time to Escape
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Although Xu Wenping was not born and raised in the city, he had lived here for many years. This forest farm was not very famous, but generally speaking, the locals knew about it.
Because this was a wild animal ecological reserve, it was not strange to see tigers within the range of the power grid, let alone wild boars.
The two of them were now outside the electric fence, so it was actually safe. After all, no matter how fierce the beast was, it could not rush out of the electric fence.
However, if they were to stay at the side and encounter patrolling people, they would probably be seen as poachers from afar. They would probably only shoot twice and no one would talk about the 20,000 to 80,000.
Cai Anlan couldn’t be blamed. Her face suddenly turned pale.
Xu Wenping covered his mouth and laughed. In the next moment, his eyes suddenly flashed like lightning. He held the stone in his hand and directly threw it into the grass.
“All!”
Cai Anlan, the calm woman, finally shouted in surprise. Xu Wenping smiled and went to the grass to take out a rabbit.
“It’s not a big problem. We’re both at our wits’ end. This is an emergency situation. If we encountered a tiger eating a tiger, or a giant panda eating a giant panda, it’s better to get some meat to replenish before leaving!”
“If there are people patrolling…” Cai Anlan suddenly lost her composure.
“Who’s as crazy as you in the middle of the night?” Xu Wenping chuckled. “Besides, we’re outside the power grid. There’s still a chance to explain.”
Xu Wenping was picking up firewood in the dark of the night, and he was extremely skilled. Cai Anlan’s beautiful eyes trembled as she watched. Finally, when Xu Wenping skillfully skinned the rabbit and put it on the fire to roast, Cai Anlan finally asked in a low voice, “Who exactly are you…Who are you?” “I thought you weren’t interested in me?” Xu Wenping laughed. “Why are you asking now?”
Cai Anlan raised her head and glanced at Xu Wenping. “This is the first time I’ve heard of someone throwing a rock at a rabbit. Looking at your wilderness survival skills, are you a soldier?”
Xu Wenping shook his head.
While roasting the rabbit, Xu Wenping looked at Cai Anlan with a casual expression and said, “Let’s not talk about me. Let’s talk about you! The two of us can be considered to have lived and died together. You have to let me know why I want to go with you!?”
Cai Anlan frowned.
After hesitating for a moment, she said in a low voice, “It doesn’t matter if I tell you. You already know my name. My name is Cai Anlan. Of course, this name is insignificant. If you were from the Provincial Capital, you would have heard of Cai Yang’s name.”
“What a coincidence, I’m not from the Provincial Capital.”
Xu Wenping had already taken care of the people in Jin Hai City, let alone the Provincial Capital. If they knew each other… He seemed to have been tricked by him. Back then, President Kong, the president of the Jin Hai City’s chamber of commerce, was somewhat familiar.
The corners of Cai Anlan’s mouth curled up, and then she chuckled. “Cai Yang is my brother. How do 1 describe him? You can just treat him as a gangster who started out in the dark. It’s not a big deal. He just sits in the seafood market of the entire Provincial Capital and half of the seafood market in the Eastern Province.”
Even so, Cai Anlan’s eyes were still filled with arrogance.
Xu Wenping rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.
In fact, recently, Xu Wenping’s concept of money had become lower and lower. He even ignored Jiang Yueming’s report on how to acquire Tianhai Taste Industry.
Because his balance was rising every day, but the places where he needed to spend money were getting fewer and fewer. If one were to calculate carefully, his total assets had exceeded 100 billion. In Jin Hai City alone, he could be considered the richest.
Even if the cash flow used was not that much, there was actually no business that required tens of billions of dollars at once. There were no expenses, and the money was not enough to satisfy them.
However, the more he reached this moment, the more he could feel that when Xu Wenping entered a new class, his relationship with Li Zhengkang, or the actual power he had, was even more contested by the rich.
Take President Kong for example. It might not be a big deal if his business was defeated, but Xu Wenping’s existence had collapsed. His plan in Jin Hai City was difficult for the two of them to adjust.
The Eastern Province itself was a province with a lot of sea products.
Although Xu Wenping had never heard of Cai Yang’s name before, and he probably controlled half of the Eastern Province’s seafood market, perhaps because of his light assets, his total assets were not much higher than Xu Wenping’s, but in fact, he could insinuate more aspects.
There was a greater amount of commercial power.
“Because of business matters, my brother and the people from the small island country became enemies. Recently, he has been very busy. Hmph… It’s likely that his life and death are also uncertain now. Those killers wanted to kidnap me so that they could use me to threaten my brother.”
Xu Wenping was enlightened.
No wonder the first thing this girl thought of when she was being chased was not to ask for help but to escape.
In fact, in a business competition of this magnitude, sometimes it was due to a very small information gap. It would take some time for the government to make a move, and Cai Anlan could not afford to wait.
“Come, eat the rabbit.”
Xu Wenping handed the girl a rabbit leg and smiled. “According to what you said, how long are you going to hide? If your brother still can’t solve the problem tomorrow, are you going to stay in the mountains forever?”
“Even if you can handle it, Liugou Forest Farm will not accept you.”
Cai Anlan frowned.
“I’ve never been involved in my brother’s business, so 1 don’t know much about it. Sigh… Forget it, let’s leave after eating the rabbit. We can’t stay here any longer anyway. We’ll find a small town nearby and hide for a few days.”
“Oh.” Xu Wenping did not express his opinion.
The two of them were silent for a long time. After all, it was already 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning. From time to time, rustling sounds could be heard in the deep mountains and forests. They did not feel it when they were fleeing, but they were a little afraid when they stopped.
Cai Anlan struggled to get up.
After all, she had sprained her ankle. Although it had already eased, it was obvious that her legs were still a little weak. She swayed as she walked. Xu Wenping smiled and said, “Can’t walk anymore?”
“Come, I’ll carry you.”
Xu Wenping carried Cai Anlan on his back and followed her finger down the mountain. Cai Anlan whispered, “You said you have a wife tonight. How many wives do you have?”
Xu Wenping looked back in surprise and saw Cai Anlan lowering her head shyly. Xu Wenping smiled strangely and said, “What’s wrong? Are you already so touched by me?”
“A little.”
Cai Anlan did not hide it and nodded lightly. “You’re better at riding than me, and you’re very manly. 1 like you a little.”
Cai Anlan seemed to be saying something that had nothing to do with her, but it had to be said that her expression was very brave and powerful.
She was a temperamental woman.
“But 1 might not like you.” Xu Wenping smiled strangely and said, “You dragged me around in the middle of the night. A woman like you is too dangerous.”
Cai Anlan lowered her head and pondered for a moment. She did not say a word. No one knew what she was thinking..
