Chapter 443.1 - Hit First, Talk Later (Part One)
Sure enough, as Xu Cheng expected, the country definitely wouldn’t let him leave so easily as it might benefit other nations.
So, the higher-ups were tracking his every move.
But, Xu Cheng was still a bit surprised when he saw someone coming to look for him the very next day.
Ye Xiu!
He came.
When Lin Dong went and picked him up from the airport, Ye Xiu stared at Lin Dong for a long time and finally asked, “You are really my Big Brother Cheng’s apprentice?”
Lin Dong nodded. “I admit that my qualifications are poor, but I can really work very hard, and this time, I also plan on going with my teacher.”
“Where does your teacher plan on going?” Ye Xiu immediately asked.
Lin Dong shook his head. “Don’t know, he just said he’s heading out of the country.”
Ye Xiu skeptically withdrew his eyes from Lin Dong and looked out of the window.
Lin Dong curiously asked him, “How should I call you?”
“Just call me Teacher Ye,” Ye Xiu said.
Lin Dong: “I even call Luo Yi and Li ‘Wei Big Brother Luo’ and ‘Big Brother Li’, why should I call you Teacher?”
Ye Xiu glared at him. “So many people can only dream about calling me that. Let me tell you, I am your teacher’s brother by blood. He’s my big brother, what else should you call me if not Teacher as well?”
Lin Dong just kept on driving and they entered Xu Cheng’s villa’s gates.
After getting out of the car, he walked into the villa as he complained, “If I didn’t give you a call, were you not even planning to pick me up at the airport? Such a bad bro.”
Xu Cheng sipped on his tea and took a smoke before directly asking him, “What are you doing here?”
“What do you mean what am I doing here? Can’t I be here?” Ye Xiu began acting like a little kid. “I can’t even come and hang out with you? You can come to Yanjing to hang out with me, but I really admired Sis-in-Law for a long time now, so I came to see her. Why are you looking at me like this? I’m your little brother.”
Xu Cheng rolled his eyes at him and didn’t even give him a cig.
Ye Xiu shamelessly sat down and took out his own cig and lit it up. Then, he looked at Lin Dong who was unloading the luggage from the car and pursed up his lips in that direction. “And also, you could’ve found anyone, but why did you find yourself such a student? With your capabilities, countless young talents would want to become your apprentice if you just said the word, but why this kid? He’s got some attitude problems as well.”
Lin Dong heard Ye Xiu criticizing him, so he walked in and said to Xu Cheng, “Teacher, this guy was trying to find out about your destination from my mouth.”
Ye Xiu glared at him.
Xu Cheng laughed. “I just like how he doesn’t really blindly respect anyone and only has me in his eyes. I feel assured with such an apprentice.”
Ye Xiu snorted.
Xu Cheng: “If you don’t say why you are here, then I’m kicking you out.”
“I’m really here to play, I’m not lying,” Ye Xiu said.
“Then I will give Hu Bing a call and get him to entertain you. I still have stuff to do.” Xu Cheng was about to pick up his phone.
“No,” Ye Xiu immediately said as he stopped him from calling and bitterly smiled. “Grandpa told me to come.”
Xu Cheng snorted. “Since when did the almighty Young Master Ye become a tool?”
“I didn’t want to too…” Ye Xiu looked at Xu Cheng as if he was wronged. “Why are you planning to leave the country all of a sudden? And M Nation of all countries… How are you going to give the higher-ups peace of mind? It’s not like they wanted to fire you or anything, everything was following the formal protocol; you broke the laws and you had to be punished. Why are you leaving to go to the M Nation now? You even made me a tool that had to be ordered around to come and find you… No, I mean, a messenger, that came to provide some counseling for you.”
