Chapter 1833 - 1828: Pinky Promise

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s concern, he looked at Hu Xiaobei and spoke very seriously, "Master Xiaobei, you don’t need to worry about this at all. I’ve always been investigating, and as far as I know, no one has really gotten close before."

After looking at him, Hu Xiaobei spoke again, "Really? You’re not lying!"

"Yes! Absolutely not lying."

Gently rubbing his chin, Hu Xiaobei spoke indifferently, "If that’s the case, then it’s still worth checking out. But I still feel uneasy because this trip is really too dangerous."

"Master Xiaobei, I said before that danger and reward are proportional! Besides, we’ll be going together. We’ve investigated a lot of information during this time, and I can share it all with you when the time comes. So, you truly don’t need to worry too much about safety."

"Since you’re so confident, why insist on involving me?"

Hu Xiaobei glanced at him and squinted his eyes, speaking calmly.

"Master Xiaobei, with an extra person, there’s more hope, right."

Taking a look at the calm Cao Ying, Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly, "That’s the way it is! When do you plan to leave?"

"The sooner the better, or else things might get complicated."

"Then you all rest for a while, I’ll consider it carefully and let you know when I have a decision."

"That’s no problem."

"Hmm!"

Nodding lightly, Hu Xiaobei glanced at a young man beside him and said calmly, "Take them to rest!"

"Yes!"

After the young man agreed, he smiled at them.

Cao Ying and the others exchanged glances and quickly stood up.

"Master Xiaobei, I’ll wait for your news!"

After saying this, Cao Ying and the others quickly left with the young man.

...

"Little Bei brother, you’re not really going to agree, are you? This is obviously a trap!"

Watching them walk away, Lin Ya quickly spoke, putting down the teapot in her hand.

She had listened to all of Cao Ying’s descriptions from the side and felt this was a trap, so she didn’t want Hu Xiaobei to really fall into it.

Hu Xiaobei glanced at Lin Ya and said, "I know it’s a trap, but I’m still a bit interested! After all, it would be great to bury them all in it."

Knowing Hu Xiaobei planned to beat them at their own game, she became anxious, "Little Bei brother, they’re prepared, we might not be able to outwit them."

"I know it’s dangerous, but I think it shouldn’t be too much of a problem!"

"You..."

Knowing she was really worried about him, Hu Xiaobei proactively said, "Don’t worry yet, I haven’t made a final decision. I’ll have a good talk with Cao Meng later, and only after that will I make my final decision."

"Alright then, anyway, you must consider carefully, this isn’t a small matter."

"Hmm!"

...

Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei looked at Cao Meng sitting opposite him and recounted Cao Ying’s proposal.

After finishing, Hu Xiaobei indifferently said, "Regarding this matter, what’s your take on it?"

Cao Meng pondered for a moment and quickly said, "Master Xiaobei, the other side likely laid a trap. I think it’s better not to jump into it, after all, we don’t know their trump card."

Upon hearing Cao Meng’s words, Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly and said, "For now, let’s not dwell on this. I just want to ask: does your ancestral home really have a lot of treasures?"

"Well... there’s definitely a lot! We left in a hurry back then and many things were left behind."

"If that’s the case, then it’s worth jumping into this trap."

Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei genuinely interested, Cao Meng became anxious, "But Master Xiaobei, it’s really dangerous."

"Not much of an issue!"

Hu Xiaobei looked at the tense Cao Meng and chuckled...

Hu Xiaobei had absolute confidence in his abilities, so he believed it wouldn’t be much of a problem...

While Hu Xiaobei was chatting with him, Cao Ying and a few others gathered together.

This was a quiet courtyard.

Seeing no one around, Cao Ying spoke hoarsely, "That Hu Xiaobei really is asking for too much, demanding a billion from me."

At this moment, Cao Ying was trembling all over.

His heart was truly bleeding...

The family had acquired quite a bit of wealth through mergers, but a billion still pained him horribly.

"Family Head, we shouldn’t have given it before."

Cao Wei, who had been slapped by Cao Ying, glanced at Cao Ying and muttered softly.

"Not give it? Not giving it would completely break relations! If we break relations, how do we proceed with operations afterward!"

After saying this, Cao Ying ignored Cao Wei and looked at the two elders who came with him, "Do you think Hu Xiaobei will jump into the pit we dug earlier?"

"It was uncertain before, but now, I’m ninety percent sure he will."

"Same here!"

Previously, they didn’t know much about Hu Xiaobei, so they couldn’t grasp what kind of person he was.

Now, they knew Hu Xiaobei was a greedy person.

Because of this, they felt Hu Xiaobei would likely jump right in.

"Great minds think alike, I also believe Hu Xiaobei will definitely jump in."

Speaking of this, Cao Ying squinted his eyes and continued, "We can start preparing the subsequent plans now."

...

"Little Bei brother, you ultimately decided to go? Okay, I’ll go with you!"

Knowing Hu Xiaobei’s final decision, Lin Ya looked at him and swiftly spoke.

She knew it was hard to change Hu Xiaobei’s decision once he made up his mind.

Therefore, at this moment, she didn’t intend to change Hu Xiaobei’s decision but planned to go with him.

Feeling Lin Ya’s determination, Hu Xiaobei understood she genuinely wanted to go.

A bit troubled, he rubbed his nose and spoke, "You can’t go, there are many unknown dangers there."

"But..."

"Listen! I promise I’ll definitely come back unscathed, okay."

"You... are you sure?"

"I’m sure! I’ll come back unscathed."

"Then let’s hook pinkies."

Seeing her sulking face, Hu Xiaobei helplessly extended his hand...

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei really felt she was like a child...

After hooking pinkies, Hu Xiaobei looked at her and helplessly whispered, "Now that we’ve hooked pinkies, you should be reassured."

"Hmm! I’m reassured! I’ll wait for you here."

"Alright!"

Nodding readily, Hu Xiaobei lightly caressed her smooth, fair cheek...

After sending her off, Hu Xiaobei looked far into the distance and quickly vanished from the spot.

A few breaths later, like a phantom, Hu Xiaobei appeared on a grassy meadow.

Glancing around, Hu Xiaobei spoke indifferently, "Alright, I see you, stop hiding, is it fun?"
