would also be embarrassed; therefore, he didn't plan on telling anyone and had plenty of opportunities to settle things with them later.After the four individuals turned a corner and entered an alleyw...Chapter 755 The Honey Moon Trip (8)
However, although Vice Premier Liu was a little surprised in his heart, he did not show it. After Xiao Yu and the others returned from the restaurant, they lay on their bed watching TV.
"Knock knock knock..." Around ten o'clock at night, just as Xiao Yu and the others were getting ready to sleep, suddenly the sound of knocking came.
When Xiao Yu and Yun Xi heard this knocking sound, both showed puzzled expressions. Who would come for them at this time They had only met Zhou Keji today and did not know anyone else. Then who was it now Could it be Zhou Keji It should not be! The two of them were not close acquaintances, and since it was already sleeping time, there shouldn't be any reason to disturb them!
"Who are you looking for" When Xiao Yu opened the door, he found that there were two people standing at the door. One was a man in his forties while another one was an emaciated man in his fifties. Seeing these two people, Xiao Yu recognized the thin-figured man; this person was Ambassador Ma Tengliang stationed in Britain. He had seen his information on those documents that Song Hushan brought over.
As for the other man who appeared to be in his forties, Xiao Yu did not know him and wondered why they were looking for him
"Hello, are you Mr. Xiao" After seeing Xiao Yu open the door, Ma Tengliang looked up and down at him and said. Earlier when Ma Tengliang and others had been waiting to be summoned by Vice Premier Liu, but Vice Premier Liu had locked himself in his study room all day without meeting anyone. Just as he thought that Vice Premier Liu would not receive visitors alone today, Vice Premier Liu's secretary came out and found him, asking him to find a person named Xiao Yu at the embassy.
When Ma Tengliang heard what Vice Premier Liu's secretary said, his heart was startled. He secretly thought: Could there be some influential figure hidden in this embassy Otherwise how would Vice Premier Liu know about this person and why would he choose to meet someone he has never heard of instead of meeting anyone else
When Ma Tengliang asked around for Xiao Yu after that, but couldn't find him. This made him think whether Vice Premier Liu had made a mistake.
In the end, he could only return to the villa and tell Vice Premier Liu's secretary that there was no Xiao Yu here that Vice Premier Liu wanted to see.
Soon after, Vice Premier Liu’s secretary came back again to tell him that it should not be a staff member of this place but someone who lives here.
When Ma Tengliang heard this answer, he was even more puzzled. Although these things were not under his jurisdiction, if there was an important person at the embassy for Vice Premier Liu to remember, the people below would still inform him; however, up until now, he had not heard about it.
Moreover, he didn’t dare to question it. He could only ask his secretary to check again. Shortly after, his secretary returned and told him that someone named Xiao Yu lived in Room 206 and had come to the UK on official business.
When Ma Tengliang passed this information to Premier Li's secretary, the latter decided to invite Xiao Yu over. As a result, Ma Tengliang followed along as well.
"It's me. What is it Ambassador Ma, do you have something at this hour" Upon hearing Ma Tengliang's query, Xiao Yu looked at them in puzzlement and asked.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao, I am Wang Changning from the State Council Office. Premier Li has requested your presence!" When both of them saw that Xiao Yu was indeed their target, they were astonished—neither Ma Tengliang nor Premier Li’s secretary had expected him to be so young. However, Premier Li's secretary couldn't afford any delays, so when he confirmed that Xiao Yu was the person he sought, he introduced himself.
Hearing these words, Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback but nodded in acknowledgment. He wasn’t aware how Premier Li had learned of his presence here; however, with someone sent over to fetch him now, he knew he needed to go and see what it was about.
"Yunxi, Premier Li needs me for something. I’ll be back soon. You can sleep first." Xiao Yu turned around and called out to Yunxi inside the room.
“Alright, you go ahead! Give my regards to Premier Li!” Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Yunxi walked over and said.
Hearing Yunxi’s response, Ma Tengliang and his companions were startled. They thought to themselves, "It seems these two are indeed remarkable; both know Premier Li. How could they have been unaware of their existence Particularly, Premier Li's secretary, who often accompanies the premier and knows most of those associated with him in personal or professional capacities—yet he hasn’t seen Xiao Yu before. That’s what perplexes him."
When Yunxi spoke up, Xiao Yu nodded.
"Little Zhang, come over quickly! Find a room for Mr. Xiao and his friends on the third floor!" Ma Tengliang instantly reacted, calling out to a man in his thirties near the elevator. He then turned toward Xiao Yu and said apologetically, "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry for this inconvenience. As it turns out, you're staying here—conditions are rather basic. It would be better if we moved up to the third floor."
“Ambassador Ma's kindness is appreciated, but let’s stay here. We’re leaving Britain tomorrow anyway!” Upon hearing Ma Tengliang’s words, Xiao Yu paused briefly before responding.
"No, no! Mr. Xiao, it doesn't matter that I didn’t know earlier, but how could you possibly stay in such conditions now" Ma Tengliang assumed that Xiao Yu was upset and quickly spoke up again upon hearing his reply.
Note that even though he doesn't know Xiao Yu's background, the two of them obviously have a close relationship with Vice Premier Liu. Not only does Xiao Yu personally know him, but so does Xiao Yu’s wife. This clearly indicates their close ties; otherwise, family members wouldn’t recognize each other.
Actually, they don't realize that Yun Xi doesn't actually know Vice Premier Liu either. She merely met him once at the wedding ceremony. After just returning home, Xiao Yu told her that this visiting Vice Premier attended their wedding, so when seeing Xiao Yu about to meet with Vice Premier Liu, Yun Xi suggested he greet him.
After hearing Ma Tengliang's words, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and nodded. He felt helpless as there were actually no problems staying in the current residence; it was also very quiet. However, looking at Ma Tengliang’s intentions, if not moving wasn't an option, others might think he is angry. This is just how things are handled under such circumstances, so Xiao Yu had no choice but to agree out of necessity for peace of mind.
After leaving the building with the two of them, they headed towards a small villa nearby.
When they arrived at the villa, Vice Premier Liu was already in the living room. He knew something about Xiao Yu's identity; Zhao Lingyun’s son wouldn't warrant such treatment, but Xiao Family’s heir would certainly be significant. Although his rank is high and those veteran elders' troops have never been publicly disclosed, he still knows a lot about them. The only thing he doesn’t know is who Elder Xiao is. But could someone be associated with those veterans simply Moreover, it was out of respect for Old Master Ye that Vice Premier Liu attended Xiao Yu’s wedding.
His high rank can largely be attributed to the support from Old Man Ye, and he also knows how highly the veteran elders regard Xiao Yu. Considering Old Man Ye's influence, Xiao Yu's prospects are limitless.
"Vice Premier Liu, hello!" After following Vice Premier Liu’s secretary into his office, seeing him sitting on a sofa, Xiao Yu walked over to greet him.
“Little Xiao, it is indeed you. I thought in the restaurant that it looked like you!” Upon hearing Xiao Yu's greeting, Vice Premier Liu stood up and shook hands with Xiao Yu, smilingly replied.
He could not afford to be casual with Xiao Yu despite his own high rank as a vice premier; behind Xiao Yu stands someone too powerful. Moreover, he vaguely senses Old Man Ye’s intentions of wanting Xiao Yu to take charge of their troops.
The purpose of the veteran elders' forces remains unknown even to him. Such a secret that not even people at his level know about must indicate how significant this force is.
After chatting with Vice Premier Liu for half an hour, Xiao Yu took his leave. Actually, Vice Premier Liu didn't have anything specific to discuss with Xiao Yu; he just happened to see him and wanted a casual chat since Xiao Yu was considered a junior of Old Man Ye.
When Xiao Yu left, Vice Premier Liu escorted him to the door. After watching as Xiao Yu walked up to the building on one side, he returned inside and had his secretary call the ambassador stationed in the UK.
At this moment, Wang Changning, Vice Premier Liu's secretary, was secretly shocked. He had thought that Xiao Yu was a descendant of some family but was surprised to see that Xiao Yu spoke with the vice premier without showing any subservience. Even when talking to Xiao Yu, the vice premier did not act as if he were above Xiao Yu; they conversed like friends.
Vice Premier Liu had also heard about Xiao Yu's medical skills—after all, there weren't many secrets among the high-ranking officials in Beijing. The Song family, Zhong family, Tang family… every one of them was closely tied to Xiao Yu! Everyone knew how exceptional Xiao Yu’s medical skills were.
Building a good relationship with Xiao Yu might save lives someday!
After returning to his room, Xiao Yu moved up to the third floor together with Yun Xi.
The next morning, the embassy had already returned to its usual calm. Vice Premier Liu and his team had left, while Xiao Yu and company were packing their things in preparation for leaving Britain as well.
When they reached the ground floor, a young man was standing at the entrance beside a black car.
The moment he saw Xiao Yu and the others come out, the youth hurried over and said, "Mr. Xiao, hello! I'm Mo from the convoy. The ambassador asked me to bring you wherever you want to go!"
"Oh, then take us to the airport" Hearing the driver's words, Xiao Yu nodded.
“Ri-iing...” Midway through their trip in the car, a ringtone sounded. The driver Mo glanced at his phone number and pulled over before picking up the call.
A few sentences later, he turned to Xiao Yu and said, "Mr. Xiao, it's the ambassador's call for you."
“Oh.” Puzzled, Xiao Yu took the phone.
"Ambassador Ma, hello! Is there anything I can do for you" After taking the phone, Xiao Yu asked the person on the other end of the line.ld Ghost Jinfeng, saying, "You may stand up first!"Yes, Young Master!" After saying this, the Water Ghost and Old Goldpeak Ghost stood up.Xiao Yu was a bit dizzy and didn't feel very well mentally, bu...
