Chapter 482: Chapter 454: Something Came Up

Early the next morning, Fang Chenyi, who had been busy for half the night, groggily opened his eyes to the sound of Bai Menghan’s urging.

"Hurry and get up, you big lazy pig! It’s already seven o’clock. Didn’t you say you were leaving at nine? You’ll be late if you don’t get up now."

Fang Chenyi lazily rolled over, wanting to keep sleeping, and mumbled,

"Let me sleep a little longer. I’m so tired."

Hearing his words, Bai Menghan couldn’t help but blush. ’That big scoundrel. He wore me out all night, and I haven’t even said I’m tired yet. How dare he complain first?’

A mischievous glint appeared in her eyes, and her gentle hands reached out and grabbed...

The moment she grabbed him, Fang Chenyi’s eyes flew open. A wicked smile spread across his face as he sat up.

But just as he was about to pounce, Bai Menghan pushed him away, laughing as she said,

"You big scoundrel, aren’t you still sleepy? Okay, okay, stop messing around and get up. Look at the time! You’ll be late if you don’t get up now."

But Fang Chenyi paid her no mind, climbing right back on top of her. In an instant, the room began to shake and quake once more.

Just as they were getting to the good part, Fang Chenyi’s phone started to ring. RING RING RING.

Without even looking, Fang Chenyi rejected the call and tossed the phone aside.

’Are you kidding me? At a time like this? Who has time to answer the phone?’

Seeing Fang Chenyi’s actions, Bai Menghan was at a loss for words. However, the thought that they were about to be separated for over a month made her decide not to say anything, and she became very cooperative instead.

But the phone had barely been tossed aside before it started ringing again. This time, without breaking his rhythm, Fang Chenyi reached over, grabbed it, and shut it off completely.

At ten in the morning, a thoroughly refreshed Fang Chenyi climbed out of bed, took a shower, and after returning, pulled the covers over Bai Menghan. Only then did he pick up his phone and turn it back on.

Instantly, over a dozen missed calls appeared on the screen. One was from Qi Xiaotian, while the remaining ten-plus were all from Wei Yilong.

He gently kissed Bai Menghan on the forehead, then carefully slipped out and closed the door behind him before dialing Qi Xiaotian.

BEEP... BEEP... BEEP...

The call connected after just a few rings, and Qi Xiaotian’s voice came through:

"Brother Fang, everything is ready. We can depart at any time."

Fang Chenyi raised his wrist to check the time. It was already 10:30 AM, an hour and a half later than his planned departure time.

He shook his head with a wry smile. "Alright, I know. Something came up on my end. I’m heading over right now."

After hanging up with Qi Xiaotian, he walked outside while dialing Wei Yilong.

BEEP...

This time, the call was answered even faster. The phone had barely rung once before Wei Yilong’s voice came through:

"Hey, Boss! You finally answered. Where are you? I knew you’d want to get... reacquainted with sister-in-law after you got back yesterday, so I didn’t contact you. But then I heard from Xiaotian just now. You’re leaving this morning??"

Fang Chenyi pulled open his car door. "Mhm," he grunted, sliding inside.

"Yeah, the plan was to leave at nine, but something came up. I’m on my way to the airport now. What’s up, kid? You seem to be in a panic. I look at my phone and see over a dozen missed calls, all from you. What’s the big emergency? You got a dog nipping at your heels or what?"

Wei Yilong rolled his eyes on the other end of the line. ’Who has a dog nipping at their heels? Seriously...’

"Hehe, it’s nothing serious, actually. I was just wondering... since you’re heading out again, could you take me with you? I want to follow you and take on the world, get a taste of what it’s like to be a Knight. I had dinner with Xiaotian last night, and he told me you guys went through a hail of bullets this time. My God, that’s so awesome! I get thrilled just thinking about it."

Listening to the rambling Wei Yilong, Fang Chenyi cut him off irritably:

"What are you talking about, ’go’? You’d just get in the way. Is the new development district finished already, or what...?"

Hearing this, Wei Yilong’s face fell, and he said dejectedly,

"Er, how could it be done that fast? The smaller surrounding buildings are more or less finished, though. As for the nine high-rises in the center, there’s still a long way to go. But the foundations are complete, and with Professor Wu and his team overseeing things, there’s nothing major to worry about here..."

"Nothing major, my ass. Is managing the funds not a major task? Is overall coordination not a major task? If you have that much time on your hands, I can find something else for you to do, kid."

As soon as he heard that, Wei Yilong’s expression soured. He knew there was no hope of going with the boss now. He quickly backtracked, saying,

"No, no, no! There’s plenty to do, plenty! I’m so busy my feet don’t touch the ground. If you give me any more work, you’ll have to split me into five people to get it all done."

Fang Chenyi switched the phone to speakerphone, making small talk as he drove. They discussed the project’s progress for a bit. Eventually, Professor Wu happened to show up. When he heard Wei Yilong was on the phone with Fang Chenyi, he quickly jumped in to ask about some technical problems. Fang Chenyi didn’t hang up until he finally arrived at the airport.

Arriving outside the airport, Fang Chenyi saw Qi Xiaotian waiting for him.

Seeing Fang Chenyi’s car arrive, Qi Xiaotian hurried over.

"Brother Fang, everything is ready. We can depart at any time."

Fang Chenyi nodded and handed his car keys to a nearby staff member. Then he led the way inside.

Walking onto the tarmac, they saw a massive Airbus A380 parked conspicuously on the runway.

Needless to say, at a small airport like this, a large aircraft like an Airbus A380 was a nearly unheard-of sight.

These planes were generally used for international routes, and only major airports in big cities were equipped for them.

Furthermore, this plane was different from a typical one. Commercial airliners were usually painted with an airline’s logo.

This one, however, was emblazoned with the two words: Chen Meng.

Clearly, this was no ordinary airplane, but a private jet.

Under the envious gazes of the surrounding travelers, Fang Chenyi and Qi Xiaotian’s group boarded the plane.

Once on board, Fang Chenyi saw fifty crew members seated in orderly rows inside the cabin. These were the top fifty selected from the group who had taken the Medicine Pills.

Their combat prowess was such that any one of them could handle dozens of opponents with no problem.

In fact, an Airbus A380 could have easily accommodated all 240 of his men.
