Chapter 1617: I Am Not Resigned
Having escaped Chinatown, Huang Hong's expression was extremely ugly; he tightened his fists and growled in a low voice, "Chen Yu, just you wait, I will definitely return."
A car pulled up, and Huang Hong's butler, Fu Shu, opened the door and hurried over. Seeing Huang Hong, he stepped forward and said, "Chairman, what is the situation now?"
"Right now, I am no longer the chairman." Huang Hong took a deep breath, then turned and got into the car.
Fu Shu was slightly stunned; he had not expected that things would have developed to this point.
After receiving the news, he had rushed here to handle this matter under the orders of Huang Hong's father.
The Huang Family had great influence here and had controlled the Chinese Association for decades; even if there were reasons for the incident, they still had the opportunity to handle it.
However, he had not expected that the situation this time was different from the past; from the moment he received the news and rushed here, it had only been half an hour, and Huang Hong had already lost his position as chairman.
"Chairman, we should still investigate Chen Yu's situation properly; I feel this person is not simple." In the car, after hearing Huang Hong describe the situation, Fu Shu already had an idea in his mind.
"He is indeed not simple. Qishu brought him here; they must have met in the Secret Realm." Huang Hong's expression was gloomy, and he muttered, "This guy must be hiding many secrets."
"Then shall I let Li Hu go and investigate?" Fu Bo said, "Our Blood Guard has not been deployed for too long; now, some people have already forgotten what our Huang Family used to do."
"Good, letting them go out to sharpen themselves is fine too. The situation is chaotic now, and we need to regroup. Let the Blood Guards... all come out and get active." Huang Hong grinned, the expression on his face ferocious.
"Then I will go make arrangements." Fu Shu smiled with tacit understanding, "Rest assured, once our Blood Guards are deployed, the situation for the Chinese will turn around immediately. There are a few people interested in the Chinese Association chairmanship; I will visit them one by one."
"Good." After arranging all of this, Huang Hong's mood was clearly much better than before. He asked, "How is the old man now?"
"Better than before. That alchemist still has some ability, it is just that it consumes too many medicinal ingredients." Fu Shu said, "But we cannot pin all our hopes on that alchemist; we should find other methods, we must find other methods as soon as possible."
"Correct, I will go back and see the old man." Huang Hong nodded.
In a villa, an old man wearing a yellow bathrobe was walking back and forth in the courtyard, leaning on a cane.
This old man was Huang Hong's father, Huang Jinguo, who was already nearly eighty years old this year.
One of his legs had almost no sensation, and he relied entirely on servants to support him while walking. Moreover, looking at his appearance, there was not much time left before he would be buried.
Huang Hong had lost his position as chairman and felt somewhat ashamed before his father, so he took the initiative to help him sit to one side.
"The position of chairman, you just lost it like that?" After sitting down, Huang Jinguo stared at Huang Hong.
"There were reasons for it, Father; I did this entirely because of you." Huang Hong felt great shame; standing before his father, he felt somewhat afraid.
Because he knew how ruthless his father's methods were after his temperament changed; even his own half-siblings could not escape his poisonous hands.
"Heh, don't give me that; don't try to push everything onto me." Huang Jinguo sneered, pointing at his own head, he said, "I have a brain here; you were indeed doing it for me, but also for yourself."
"If there truly is a method for immortality in this world, then our father and son will be eternal, but what is this mess you've made? Qishu is nothing more than a grave robber."
"In our eyes, he is just a dirt rat, but how did you believe that this dirt rat had what we wanted in his hands?"
"Father, I have evidence. Ye Er of the Skull Society has invited Qishu to come out of retirement three times. You also know that Ye Er's ambition is very great; some of his goals are the same as ours, and when he was young, he searched for treasures everywhere and found many Treasure Maps."
"Treasure Map..." Huang Jinguo's eyes narrowed, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Correct, this actually reminds me of this person, Ye Er."
"The two of us dealt with each other ten years ago; even then, I felt this kid was very ambitious."
"Right, he also wants immortality, so the Secret Realms he found must not be ordinary places. I heard he took Qishu there, along with hundreds of his own subordinates, but none of these people came out of the Secret Realm." Huang Hong breathed a sigh of relief, "Think about it, Father, what kind of Secret Realm could be so dangerous?"
"The more dangerous the Secret Realm, the greater the harvest inside; your thinking is not wrong." Huang Jinguo narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "So you think that since Qishu came out from there this time, he has a harvest in his hands?"
"Yes, I understand Qishu as a person, and I also know his great-uncle lived to be over one hundred and ten. There must be a secret to immortality passed down in their family. Moreover, whenever he makes a move, he never returns empty-handed, so I feel that this time in the Secret Realm, he definitely made a discovery."
"Did he admit it?" Huang Jinguo's expression softened slightly; no matter how furious he was, as long as it concerned the matter of immortality, it was not unforgivable.
He was pursuing immortality; he feared death. Ever since he had walked through the Ghost Gate a few years ago, he had been exceptionally afraid, because he knew that Life only happens once, and once lost, it could never return.
Therefore, all these years, he had been searching for methods to extend his life. For this, he did not even hesitate to hire alchemists to refine pills, or even take the heart blood of his own illegitimate children as medicinal ingredients.
This was also the reason why Huang Hong was so afraid when he saw him; because he knew that Huang Jinguo had reached a point of madness in his pursuit of immortality. He believed that if there were news claiming that killing his own biological son to consume his blood could grant immortality, this father of his would kill him without hesitation.
But Huang Hong could not resist, because he knew how ruthless his old man's methods were; all these years as the chairman of the Chinese Association, his methods had been extremely hard-line.
"Of course he wouldn't admit it, so I tried to find a way to force him to admit it, but this time... I didn't expect to mess it up." Huang Hong's expression was gloomy.
"Why did you mess it up?" Huang Jinguo's expression sank slightly, "You can't even handle such a small matter?"
"Father, it is not that my ability is lacking, but that after Qishu returned this time, there was an extra person by his side, and this person is someone he met in the Secret Realm." Huang Hong said with a helpless expression, "The other party's strength is very strong."
