"Go!" Wan Fuyuan waved his hand: "Go quickly and come back quickly; I'll wait for you at home, and then we'll go to the guesthouse together."

Wan Peng nodded, got dressed with unprecedented speed, and ran out quickly.

Watching his son leave, Yang Mei let out a long sigh and then smiled.

"Finally, a weight off my mind. It's just that once he gets into Future Culture, he'll probably have to grow it back."

Wan Fuyuan pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and sighed: "That's a matter for later; for now, let him cut his hair, and we can have some peace of mind for a while."

Yang Mei thought for a moment and said: "Chairman Zhou has done us such a big favor; shouldn't we buy some gifts?"

"No need," Wan Fuyuan shook his head: "Chairman Zhou lacks nothing; if you buy something, it will make things awkward instead."

At the same time, Liao Ting drove Kong Yu back to that alley.

She followed Kong Yu into the rented room; the space was gloomy and cramped, and the air was filled with a musty smell, mixed with a strange odor.

She knew the environment in this place would be poor, but she never imagined it would be this bad.

"You usually live here?"

"Yes!" Kong Yu said while packing her luggage: "I eat and live here, including—soliciting customers."

Liao Ting walked over and looked at the clothes Kong Yu was packing: "Just take a few changes of clothes for daily wear; throw the rest away, consider it a farewell to the past."

Kong Yu's hand packing the clothes paused; she was really reluctant, but she still nodded silently.

"Okay!"

Then she only picked two favorite outfits and some underwear to put into the suitcase.

"Let's go!" Liao Ting turned and walked out: "Since you're following me for the time being, you're an employee of the Yugong Group, so your image needs to change. I'll take you to buy some clothes first."

Kong Yu certainly had no objections; she also knew that even if she had objections, it would be useless.

"Little Fish!"

This was Kong Yu's alias, and the one speaking was the girl from the neighboring rented room, still holding that puppy in her arms.

"You—where are you going? Are you not living here anymore?"

As the girl said this, her eyes looked toward Liao Ting.

Kong Yu nodded: "I found a job; I'm not doing this line of work anymore."

A look of envy flashed in the girl's eyes, and she reached out her hand: "Congratulations on coming ashore; may your future be bright, and may you find a good husband."

Kong Yu shook hands with the woman: "Thank you, and I hope you come ashore soon too."

The girl smiled and nodded: "I will."

Kong Yu said goodbye and followed Liao Ting toward the entrance of the alley.

The girl watched Kong Yu get into the car and muttered: "Little Fish, do you know? I really want to come ashore, but I don't have the chance anymore."

The girl stood there in a daze; very suddenly, the expression on her face became painful, and her complexion grew paler and paler.

Then she put down the puppy in her arms, clutched her stomach tightly with both hands, squatted on the ground, and gasped for air.

After a long while, the girl struggled to stand up, staggered back to her room, and found medicine in the drawer of the dilapidated bedside table to take.

And in the drawer, there was also a hospital diagnosis report, with "stomach cancer" written on it.

…………………………

"Oh no!" Kong Yu exclaimed: "I haven't checked out yet."

"If you haven't checked out, then don't."

Liao Ting glanced at the rearview mirror, because a familiar car was following her, which made her expression turn cold immediately.

"But, but!" Kong Yu said unwillingly: "There's still a one-hundred-yuan deposit."

"I'll give it to you," Liao Ting's voice also turned cold.

Kong Yu shrank her neck and let out a timid "oh"; even though her heart ached for that one hundred yuan, she didn't dare to speak again.

Liao Ting slowed the car down, then slowly pulled over to the side of the road, pushed open the car door, and got out.

"Wait for me in the car."

Then, with a bang, Liao Ting slammed the car door shut and walked toward the Mercedes-Benz that had been following her.

Kong Yu hesitated, but still gathered her courage and asked.

"Second Master, I think we talked very well this morning, and you also made me feel respect, but why are you following me by car again?"

Rao Zhanhua smiled slightly: "I just wanted to know what kind of man could make you leave Dongtai regardless of everything."

"You really misunderstood; there is no man. I just want to change jobs and change my environment, that's all."

Liao Ting explained patiently; she didn't want to offend Rao Zhanhua, and even less did she want to bring trouble to Zhou Andong, although she didn't think Rao Zhanhua would become trouble for Zhou Andong.

"Tingting, we've known each other for almost three years, and I've been pursuing you for almost three years."

At this moment, Rao Zhanhua still appeared very magnanimous.

"If you ask who understands you, I think no one understands you better than I do. I believe you when you say you want to change jobs and environments, but when you were speaking, your tone and expression were completely different from the past."

"So, I understood that your departure is actually because of a man; it's this man who made you decide to leave Dongtai."

Liao Ting was stunned; was she that obvious?

Suddenly, Rao Zhanhua's tone became cold, and his expression turned ferocious.

"It doesn't matter that you left Dongtai, but I absolutely cannot tolerate you leaving because of a man."

Liao Ting frowned: "Then what do you want?"

Rao Zhanhua sneered: "Competing with me, Rao Zhanhua, for a woman—I want to see if he's tired of living. If he really doesn't want to live anymore, I can fulfill his wish."

"Want to know who he is?" Liao Ting laughed: "Fine, follow me. I'll go to the mall first, and then I'll take you to see him."

Watching Liao Ting get into the car, Rao Zhanhua felt something was a bit off.

He knew this woman too well; she had never been someone who compromised easily. Otherwise, he wouldn't have pursued her for two years without making any progress.

And now, under his clear threat, she was taking him to see the person so readily—there was clearly a problem here.

But then he thought, he was the "Second Master Guan" who could summon wind and rain in Dongguan; as long as it was on the land of Dongguan, who the hell dared to glare at him?

Thinking of this, he turned and got into the car, because if he didn't, Liao Ting's car would have disappeared from sight.

They soon arrived at a mall; afraid that Liao Ting would run away, Rao Zhanhua followed her every step of the way.

However, this guy still had some demeanor; even though he was very angry inside, he didn't do anything excessive to Liao Ting, and instead, after the two women finished buying clothes, he took the initiative to pay.

Liao Ting didn't say anything, because she knew that if Rao Zhanhua wanted to pay, it would be useless for her to say anything.

Finally, when Kong Yu stepped out of the fitting room, wearing the high heels she had just bought, black suit trousers on the bottom, and a ladies' small suit jacket on top.

With an administrative look, Liao Ting's eyes lit up when she came out.

"That's the feeling," Liao Ting snapped her fingers and checked the time: "There's still time; I'll take you to get your hair done."
