177: 800 million yuan fell from the sky
Lu Qingyu and the others were surrounded. First, the police rushed in with weapons, followed by Kane Bailey, whose eyes filled with tears when he saw Moray.
"Moray, my son."
Moray also cried when he saw his father. Finally, it was over. Lu Qingyu reported the kidnappers' location to the police, and when they arrived, not a single person escaped.
Kane Bailey was about to take Moray away when Moray turned back to look at Lu Qingyu. Only then did Kane notice Lu Qingyu.
"You saved my son, thank you so much."
Lu Qingyu: "You're welcome."
The experience of the 'game' today was actually quite good.
Kane Bailey pulled a business card from his clothes and handed it to Lu Qingyu: "This is my business card. The scene is far too chaotic today, and I still need to take Moray back for a physical check-up. Could you leave me your contact information?"
Lu Qingyu was about to say he didn't have a business card when Su Jixing pulled one from his pocket and handed it to Lu Qingyu.
Lu Qingyu looked at it; it was actually his own!
Su Jixing: I always have them ready.
Lu Qingyu handed the business card to Kane Bailey, who accepted it solemnly.
Lu Qingyu and the others had been delayed for too long. The other employees were already having a blast on the yacht and even called Lu Qingyu to ask why they hadn't arrived yet.
By the time Lu Qingyu and the others arrived, everyone was almost drunk. They joined in and played all night, and the next day, no one could get up.
Lu Qingyu simply gave them a day off; he hadn't had a chance to properly explore since arriving here.
He had only been out for an hour when his phone rang.
It was a call from Kane Bailey, asking to meet.
After returning last night, Lu Qingyu had done a casual investigation into Kane Bailey. This check revealed quite a surprise—the man was incredibly wealthy, and his reputation was excellent; those who did business with him spoke very highly of him.
He had also done a lot of charity work. Moray was his only son; after his wife passed away, he only had Moray left. If something had happened to Moray, he wouldn't have known how to face his wife.
Fortunately, Moray was fine this time. After returning yesterday, he had a doctor examine Moray; there were some superficial injuries, but they weren't serious.
The meeting today with Lu Qingyu was also to express his gratitude.
Kane Bailey sent a car to pick up Lu Qingyu. Once he was picked up, the car went straight to his manor.
When they arrived at the villa's entrance, Moray insisted on coming out with Kane Bailey to greet Lu Qingyu.
Lu Qingyu stepped out of the car, and Moray immediately went up to meet him.
"Lu, you're here."
By last night, Kane Bailey had already obtained all of Lu Qingyu's information, and Moray naturally knew it all too.
But after reviewing Lu Qingyu's profile, Kane Bailey became even more curious about this youth who wasn't even twenty years old.
He wasn't much older than his own son, yet he had managed to carve out such a career without the support of parents or friends, which made him feel deeply impressed.
Kane Bailey was a warm old man. As Lu Qingyu stepped out of the car, he invited him into the house with a beaming smile.
Once inside, the butler served them fruit tea.
Kane Bailey picked up his tea and said to Lu Qingyu, "This is flower tea grown right here in the manor. Try it and see if you like it."
Lu Qingyu took a sip from his cup: "It's delicious. The taste is light, but the floral fragrance is rich."
Kane Bailey set down his teacup with a smile, then said with a solemn expression, "Lu, I want to thank you for saving my son. I will always remember this kindness. In the future, if you ever need anything, just say the word, and I will do my absolute best to help you."
As Kane Bailey said this, his eyes grew a bit red. He hadn't dared to think about what losing his son would be like, because he simply couldn't bear the thought.
Lu Qingyu hadn't just saved his son; he had saved his life.
Kane Bailey handed Lu Qingyu a check: "This is a small token of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it."
Lu Qingyu glanced at the check. Good heavens, 800 million!
It was truly tempting, but Lu Qingyu couldn't accept it, because Moray was worth more than this 800 million.
Lu Qingyu pushed the check back: "Mr. Bailey, I've received your gratitude, but I won't take this money."
"I didn't save Moray for money, and besides, I'm not short on money."
Kane Bailey knew Lu Qingyu was telling the truth because when Lu Qingyu saved his son, he didn't even know who his son was. It was precisely because of this that Kane Bailey was even more moved.
He knew Lu Qingyu wasn't short on money, but he was offering 800 million, not 80 million. Anyone would be tempted, yet Lu Qingyu refused. This made him even more certain that this youth possessed a resilient and pure-hearted character.
Moray's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Lu Qingyu, his gaze full of affection for this older brother.
All the friends around him only befriended him for the sake of family interests; he had always longed to meet a friend like Lu Qingyu.
It was the first time Kane Bailey had seen his son like someone this much.
Kane Bailey smiled and took back the check, then took a box from the butler.
"You may refuse the check, but you must accept this."
Kane Bailey handed the box to Lu Qingyu. Lu Qingyu took it curiously, and the moment he opened it, he felt like his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Fuck, is this a damn Imperial Seal?!
Kane Bailey said, "This is a piece from my early collection. It's from the Dragon Country and is said to have over two thousand years of history. I thought you might be interested in this."
Lu Qingyu: "This... I do indeed like it very much."
Although this might not be worth 800 million, the cultural value it represented was immeasurable.
It was only right for something belonging to his own country to return to his own country.
"Then I shall accept this. Thank you very much, Mr. Bailey."
Kane Bailey said, "It is I who should be thanking you."
Moray watched his father and Lu Qingyu chat for a long while, then signaled his father with his eyes that it was time to mention the other matter.
Receiving Moray's signal, Kane said with a smile, "There is one more thing I'd like to trouble you with."
Lu Qingyu: "Please, go ahead."
Kane Bailey said, "I heard you are returning to the Dragon Country. Moray is very interested in the culture of the Dragon Country. Could I ask you to take him with you to the Dragon Country?"
Lu Qingyu: ??? "Huh? Take him back with me?"
Moray's eyes were full of excitement: "Lu, I want to go to the Dragon Country to study."
Lu Qingyu: "What grade are you in now?"
Moray: "Senior year of high school."
Lu Qingyu chuckled inwardly. How could he tactfully tell this young master that he wouldn't be able to keep up at all in the Dragon Country? Not to mention anything else, just in mathematics alone, he wouldn't even be able to pass.
Furthermore, senior year in the Dragon Country was no different from 7106. Did this kid even know what 7106 was?
