As they were about to reach the mansion, Wang Hu Zi suddenly turned the car and drove it to the side, stopping behind a large tree about two hundred meters away from the main gate.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Wang Hu Zi pointed ahead and said with a hint of unease, "The person in the car in front, I don't want to see him..."
Following Wang Hu Zi's gaze, a black Audi A8 was parked at the entrance. A middle-aged man in a suit and tie was getting out of the car.
"The person you don't want to see is him?" Chen Xiao asked, pointing at the man.
Wang Hu Zi nodded, "Yes, it's him."
Chen Xiao was speechless. Wang Hu Zi hiding the car behind a large tree was no different from a fat man weighing over three hundred pounds hiding behind a sapling. It was a wonder anyone wouldn't notice!
As expected, the middle-aged man in the suit had spotted Wang Hu Zi's car and was walking towards them. Wang Hu Zi's expression changed, his face turning pale.
Chen Xiao frowned and asked, "What's wrong, are you afraid of him?"
The middle-aged man wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a refined demeanor. Chen Xiao couldn't understand why Wang Hu Zi, a man of the underworld, would be afraid of someone like him.
However, upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, Wang Hu Zi seemed to be stimulated, and he immediately straightened his back. "Afraid of him? I'm not afraid of him! I just find him annoying and don't want to see him!"
"Oh, so you are afraid of him."
"..."
Wang Hu Zi was unable to refute Chen Xiao's sharp retort. Just then, the refined middle-aged man had reached Wang Hu Zi's car and knocked forcefully on the window.
Wang Hu Zi had no choice but to roll down the window and say impatiently, "What are you knocking for? If you break my car window, I'll make you pay!"
The middle-aged man frowned and asked coldly, "What are you doing here? Did you hear about it too?"
"Hear about what?" Wang Hu Zi was slightly taken aback.
The middle-aged man sneered, "As I thought, you're not that kind of person!"
"What is it, explain it to me clearly!" Wang Hu Zi shouted angrily.
"My father is sick, and I've found a doctor to examine him. I'm warning you, don't say anything out of line when you go in. If you upset my father, I won't let you off!" The middle-aged man put one hand on his hip, patted Wang Hu Zi's car, gave him a 'good luck' look, and then drove away.
Wang Hu Zi visibly relaxed after the man left, but only after the man was far away did he dare to mutter, "What do you mean 'my father'? That's my father too!"
The middle-aged man returned to his car and drove into the courtyard. Wang Hu Zi, however, did not start his car. He said apologetically to Chen Xiao, "Boss Chen, I'm sorry, you might have to wait a bit. I don't want to run into that person. We'll go in after he leaves..."
Chen Xiao smiled and said it was fine. He then asked, "Who was that just now? Is he Mo Lao's son?"
"Boss Chen, you don't recognize him?" Wang Hu Zi was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise on his face. He then introduced, "Boss Chen, that's Mo Jun Sheng, the mayor of our Jiang City, Mo Lao's son. You could say he's my brother... but we've never gotten along since childhood. He can't stand me, and I can't stand him."
"As we grew up, I got involved in the underworld, and he entered politics, making us even more incompatible. So, every time we meet, he treats me with disdain. I only tolerate him for the old man's sake and don't bother with him! Otherwise, I would have beaten him black and blue long ago!" Wang Hu Zi said indignantly.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but chuckle. These two, both over fifty, were still bickering like children. Coupled with their identities, it was quite a strange sight. Chen Xiao finally remembered Mo Jun Sheng. He had felt familiar earlier but couldn't recall where he had seen him. Now that he thought about it, he must have seen him on television.
Since Wang Hu Zi didn't want to meet Mayor Mo, Chen Xiao didn't say anything more and waited in the car. However, after only ten minutes, Wang Hu Zi's phone rang. It was Mayor Mo.
"Hello, what are you dawdling outside for? The old man wants you to come in quickly!" Mayor Mo said, then impatiently hung up.
On the bed lay an old man who bore a slight resemblance to him, Mo Wen Tian, the former governor. Seeing his biological son's rude attitude towards his adopted son, Mo Wen Tian sighed and said, "Jun Sheng, you and Jun Yang are both grown men and important figures in society. Can't you get along?"
It turned out that the rough and boisterous Wang Hu Zi's proper name was Wang Jun Yang. Upon hearing his father's words, Mayor Mo showed disdain, "What important figure is he? I'm ashamed to call someone like him my brother..."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Mo Wen Tian was so angered that he sat up abruptly. He coughed violently from Mo Jun Sheng's words. Mo Jun Sheng quickly came over to comfort his father.
"Dad, are you alright?"
Mo Wen Tian said displeased, "You're making me so angry, how can I be alright? If you two brothers keep quarreling like this, I won't be able to rest in peace even after I die!"
Mayor Mo quickly said, "Dad, what are you saying? That's unlucky... You just have some minor ailments, nothing serious. I've specifically invited Divine Doctor Xue from the capital to examine you!"
Standing beside the bed was an old Chinese physician in his fifties or sixties, Divine Doctor Xue, whom Mayor Mo had invited to see Mo Wen Tian. He said calmly, "Mr. Mo, let me take your pulse."
Mo Wen Tian nodded to Divine Doctor Xue and extended his left hand, saying courteously, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Xue!"
"Mr. Mo, you're too kind." Divine Doctor Xue nodded slightly, then took Mo Wen Tian's pulse, closing his eyes in concentration.
A moment later, Divine Doctor Xue opened his eyes and asked, "Mr. Mo, you said you're not feeling well. What are your specific symptoms?"
Mo Wen Tian recalled and said, "I feel weak all over, sleepy during the day, and can't sleep well at night. I often wake up from nightmares, and my chest feels tight, making it hard to breathe."
As Mo Wen Tian was speaking, footsteps could be heard from outside the door, followed by Wang Hu Zi's loud shouts, "Old Dad, Old Dad, I'm here to see you!" His voice arrived before he did.
When Wang Hu Zi entered the room with Chen Xiao, Mo Wen Tian's face lit up with joy, and his spirits improved considerably. He laughed and scolded, "You rascal, you still remember to come see me!"
