Chapter 23 An unexpected meeting

In late July, the incident of the Taliban holding South Korean hostages continued to ferment in South Korea. On the 20th, Al Jazeera released news, announcing that a detained South Korean hostage had been executed by the Taliban.

The next day, the news was confirmed that the executed Korean hostage was named Bae Henggui, a member of a Christian organization called "Bontang Spring Water Church".

As the news was announced, more inside information was revealed by the media, and the public later learned that the more than 20 detained Koreans were all believers from the Bundang Spring Water Church. They went to Afghanistan to spread the gospel of the sect.

The more relevant news is released, the more turbulent the public opinion in South Korea becomes, and the voices in society demanding that the Blue House withdraw its troops from Afghanistan as soon as possible and bring back the hostages are getting louder and louder.

Of course, for An Rusong, these things have nothing to do with him. If he has paid attention to any political issues recently, it is only one thing: the public speech given by Kong Xingzhen, a member of the Grand National Party, in the Gangnam B area. At this public speech, An Rusong saw Shen Taian standing behind Kong Xingzhen. This guy is indeed a member of Kong Xingzhen's campaign team and also serves as an advisor.

In his previous life, An Rushong didn't care about politics, let alone the Korean political circle. His predecessor didn't have the opportunity to pay attention to these things, so he didn't know much about Korean politics.

During this period of time, he did look up some information on the Internet. Of course, what he learned was mainly about Kongxing Town.

You really don't know until you check. Once you check, you will be shocked. After a long time, I found that the Grand National Party where Kong Xingzhen belongs is quite unusual. Among the current members of this party, many names are familiar to people. For example, Park Geun-hye, Chung Mong-joon, Hong Joon-pyo, and Lee Myung-bak.

Well, these political celebrities are still a little far away from An Rushong today. Even if he wants to get close to them, they will not look down on him. Therefore, he still has to work hard and operate according to his own plan.

At nightfall, at the Sun family residence in Songquandong, An Rushong got off the elevator carrying a brown paper bag, changed into a pair of slippers in front of the door, and was about to use the key to open the door, but the heavy security door was opened first.

Li Caicao, with a neat ponytail, stood inside the door with a smile on her face. Her big, charming eyes blinked brightly, just like a newlywed wife welcoming her husband who had been away from home for several months.

Seeing her like this, An Rushong knew that Sun Manzhu was probably not at home. This woman had to go to the beauty salon frequently recently. In her own words, it was because of the stress that she had bags under her eyes. If she didn't take good care of herself, she would soon become an old woman.

An Rusong knew what the other party meant by these words. Why did she feel so stressed? It was because of the 20 billion won debt. In addition, it was probably because she was unsure of An Rusong's thoughts, so she felt uneasy.

It has been some time since An Rushong moved into this house. When Sun Manzhu invited him to live here, it was already enough of a hint.

Think about it, if an unmarried girl has no feelings for a man, would she invite him to live in her home? The most important thing is that since An Rusong moved in, Sun Manzhu has never locked the door of her bedroom, and she wears revealing clothes every day and walks around in front of him. The girl almost invited him to sleep with her.

But what about An Rushong? Until today, he has not taken any action. Just imagine, how could Sun Manzhu not think too much?

As for An Rushong, he could certainly guess Sun Manzhu's thoughts, but he didn't plan to take action against this woman too early. He had to make her suspicious for a while, and when she finally couldn't bear it anymore, he would put on a show, so that he could better control her.

Sure enough, when An Rusong walked in, Li Caicao handed him a note. He took the note and read it. It was a note from Sun Manzhu. This woman had indeed gone for a beauty treatment. She told An Rusong that the food she had left for him was on the table in the restaurant. If it was cold, she asked Li Caicao to heat it up for him.

After folding the note, An Rushong turned his head to look at Li Caicao who was looking up at him. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but this Vietnamese girl in front of him seemed to have become more and more charming during this period of time. Her skin, which was originally as white as cream, seemed to have a layer of faint luster. To exaggerate a little, it was as translucent as the inner lining of a clam shell, which made people want to touch it when they saw it.

Reaching out his hand, he gently rubbed Li Caicao's face with the back of his hand. An Rushong smiled, turned sideways, and opened his arms towards her.

Although they couldn't communicate in the same language, Li Caicao obviously understood what he meant. She took a step forward, jumped lightly, and leaped deep into his arms. While he was holding her with his arms, she also wrapped her legs around his waist.

In the past few days, he always had to sneak around with this Vietnamese girl, and even if he wanted to vent, he couldn't enjoy it. Today, his stepdaughter was not here, so An Rusong had to be unrestrained for once. As for eating, although Sun Manzhu's cooking skills were good, her skills were not as good as her stepmother's skillful and attractive.

After a reckless act, An Rushong, who was drenched in sweat, was about to take Li Caicao to the bathroom when he heard the ringing of a cell phone in his trouser pocket that was abandoned on the ground.

Patting the elastic buttocks of the woman in his arms and putting her down, An Rushong went over to pick up his pants and took out his cell phone to answer the call.

The call was from Zhao Chenghao, who told An Rusong that Shen Taian wanted to meet him tonight and asked him to bring the flower card website program he was writing. Obviously, the meeting tonight must be related to the operation of the flower card website. However, what made An Rusong curious was that Zhao Chenghao had always been interested in the flower card website in the past period of time. Although he had contacted Shen Taian several times by phone, the other party's attitude was not very clear. An Rusong even felt that the old man was not very interested in this matter.

But tonight, the old guy suddenly asked for a meeting and wanted to talk about the Hanaha website. An Rushong couldn't help but wonder if there was something going on.

After hanging up the phone, An Rushong took a shower as quickly as possible, ate a few mouthfuls of food, then took a taxi and went straight to Yiwon-dong. The meeting place that Zhao Chenghao told him was in a place called "Damu Qingtangyuan" in Yiwon-dong. After arriving at Yiwon-dong, walk in the direction of "Damu Golf Driving Range" and you will see it.

The taxi driver didn't know about this place, but he knew where the "Damu Golf Driving Range" was. And just as Zhao Chenghao said, when the taxi was on the way, when it was only a few hundred meters away from the golf course, it saw an antique palace-style building on the side of the road.

In front of the building, there is a flashing neon sign with the Korean name "Damu Qingtangyuan" on it.

He quickly asked the driver to pull over, and after paying the fare, An Rushong pushed the door and got out, looking towards the side of the street.

Because it was night, even though the palace building was brightly lit, the visibility was still not very good. Standing on the side of the road, one could see a large parking lot in front of the building.

At this moment, there were quite a few cars parked in the parking lot, and several parking attendants were waiting for business at the entrance of the parking lot.

An Rushong walked onto the sidewalk and had just walked a dozen steps towards the entrance of the building when he heard someone calling his name.

Looking in the direction where the voice came from, he saw Zhao Chenghao, wearing a light-colored suit, waving at him and walking towards him quickly.

Because of the cooperation between the two parties, An Rushong had contact with this guy many times during this period, and the two of them had become very familiar with each other. Perhaps because An Rushong had a bad guy temperament, he and Zhao Chenghao had similar personalities, so the two of them got together.

The latter put his arm around his shoulders and complained, "Why did you come just now? I've been calling you for almost an hour."

"You said you wanted to bring the website's coding program," An Rusong said casually, "I even went to the toy factory for a special trip."

As he spoke, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, meaning that the USB flash drive was left at the toy factory and he had to go there first to get the thing.

"Why don't you carry such an important thing with you?" Zhao Chenghao asked with his eyes wide open.

"What's the big deal?" An Rusong asked, "If it's gone, you can always write it again. It's just a matter of buying another USB drive."

Zhao Chenghao was confronted by him. After being silent for half a second, he gave him a thumbs up helplessly.

"What happened tonight?" An Rusong changed the subject and asked the question in his mind, "Wasn't Uncle Taian not interested in the Hanaha website before? Why did he suddenly..."

As they were talking, the two had already walked to the entrance of Qingtangyuan. The receptionists standing on both sides of the door pushed open the glass door for them. Because there were outsiders present, An Rushong stopped talking.

"Hey, Uncle Taian wasn't interested in the past because he didn't know how profitable this business was," Zhao Chenghao seemed to agree with An Rusong's address to Shen Taian. He lowered his voice and said, "However, last night, he met someone who knows the business. From that person, he heard that in the first half of this year, a guy in Manila who was engaged in online gambling made 1.3 million in just seven months."

Slowing down his pace, he repeated it with emphasis, "Seven months, 7 million US dollars! How could the old man not be tempted?!"
