Chapter 53 Fat Sister's Call
"Alright, that's enough. You guys have fun, I'm going back!"
After the excitement subsided, Third Master gave us two brothers a meaningful smile and left alone.
After Third Master left, Li Yunfei didn't even glance at us two brothers and went off to play by himself. He knew this place better than we did.
We didn't stand on ceremony, since Third Master was paying for tonight's expenses.
After that night, my brother and I didn't see Third Master for half a month. Not only us, Aunt Xiao also didn't see Third Master much. She even came to my brother and me to inquire about him and complain.
They said the New Year is coming soon, but Third Master has disappeared, and that the children miss him.
As for Aunt Xiao, who doesn't have much of a brain, my brother and I just have to coax her!
After appeasing Aunt Xiao, I received a call from Deng Wenwen.
"Xiao Feng, haven't I been good enough to you?"
After the call was answered, Deng Wenwen's cold voice came through.
"Sister Wen, what are you talking about?"
I feigned grievance and said.
Where should I begin?
Deng Wenwen laughed angrily, "Don't you know what you've done?"
"What did I do?"
I continued to feign being wronged.
"Xiao Feng, things change, and you shouldn't go to extremes. Today's supporter may become tomorrow's enemy!" Deng Wenwen said slowly.
"Sister Wen, I really don't know what you mean!" I continued to pretend.
You'll understand someday!
Deng Wenwen said those words and hung up the phone.
"Fatty, do you think the 'backer' she was referring to might be Third Master?" I asked.
"Possibly!" I said after thinking for a moment.
"Looks like Third Master is trying to profit from both sides this time!" Fatty Lin muttered.
"It's not just about appearances, it's a certainty!" I said.
Last time, Third Master said that the higher-ups wouldn't do anything to Deng Wenwen. Now it seems that the higher-ups really didn't do anything to her, but Third Master must have taken a lot of money from her.
Not only that, we two brothers might even have been sold out by Third Master.
This is easy to analyze. We were not the ones who pulled out the dragon's tooth. On the surface, this matter has nothing to do with us. Even if Deng Wenwen wanted to blame us, she couldn't blame us.
Besides, given Deng Wenwen's shrewdness, she had absolutely no reason to make that call to us.
Her phone call had a hint of sowing discord; she was openly telling us that we had been betrayed by Third Master—it was a calculated move.
Furthermore, it's possible that Third Master sold us out on purpose; he wanted Deng Wenwen to interrogate us.
He was using Deng Wenwen to force my brother and me to make a choice.
To put it bluntly, he wants us two brothers to completely pledge allegiance to him and not to be half-hearted.
"You lunatic! I knew it! Partnering with you would never end well!"
After the analysis, Fatty Lin was somewhat moved.
"Bullshit! Have you taken advantage of me all these years? Who made me suffer from hunger and poverty during college?"
Just thinking about it makes me angry.
"Get lost! I've taken advantage of you a lot, but I'm always the one who gets beaten up, even though you've been playing along!"
Fatty Lin said with a wronged expression.
Just as I was about to retort, my phone rang.
I glanced at it and it turned out to be Fat Sister.
"Fatty!"
I gestured towards the phone with my lip, and Fatty Lin immediately shut up.
"Master Feng, I'd like to invite you to Hong Kong Island!"
Pressing the answer button, Fei Jie's somewhat tired voice came through.
"To Hong Kong Island?"
I was a little surprised.
"Master Feng, didn't you say last time that if we wanted to atone for our sins, we could start with the people Ling'er cares about?" Fat Sister said.
"right!"
I nodded.
"I'd like to ask you to help someone with acupuncture. She used to be Ling'er's best friend!" Fat Sister said.
"Who is your best friend?" I asked.
"Lan Mengxia!"
"That's what Fat Sister said."
"That Lan Mengxia who's absolutely stunning at Wutai Mountain?" I asked.
"Yes, that's her!" Fat Sister said.
"Are she and Ling'er best friends?"
I turned my head to look at Fatty Lin, giving him a questioning look.
Fatty Lin shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
All I know about Ling'er and Lan Mengxia is that they are two of the Seven Fairies from TVB. As for how good their relationship is, I really don't know.
"That's right!"
Fat Sister sighed and said, "Mengxia's condition is very bad right now. She's acting crazy. I'd like to ask you to come and give her acupuncture. I don't expect you to cure her, but at least alleviate her symptoms!"
"Let's discuss it and then decide whether to go or not!" I said.
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply!" Fat Sister sighed and hung up the phone.
I glanced at my phone for a couple of seconds, then turned to ask, "Fatty, what do you know about Lan Mengxia?"
"I don't know much!"
Fatty Lin thought for a moment and said, "All I know is that Lan Mengxia is known as the most beautiful woman on Wutai Mountain, and that she has a tragic past—both of her boyfriends died!"
"By the way, it's true that she has mental problems. You know, I always read the entertainment weekly and tabloids on Hong Kong Island, and they've reported on her acting crazy!"
"It seems she was in a car accident. Some say her mental instability is due to the accident, others say it's because her parents passed away—there are all sorts of rumors!"
After a moment's hesitation, Fatty Lin added, "There's another version of the story, that she was... you know... taken advantage of by some big shots in the industry. Anyway, there are all sorts of rumors."
"Oh, by the way, for a while she was obsessed with dating wealthy businessmen, but it turned out they were just playing around with her, and she became the laughingstock of their circle because of it!"
"It's just really bad, right?" I said.
"Um!"
Fatty Lin nodded.
"So, do you think we two brothers should go?" I asked.
"Going is fine, not going is fine too!" Fatty Lin said.
"Give me a straight answer!" I said.
"How about this, I'll cast a divination stick and ask our ancestor. If he approves it, we'll go; if he doesn't, we won't go. What do you say?" Fatty Lin said.
"Okay, go ahead and roll!" I said.
"They're all the Holy Grail!"
After three attempts, Fatty Lin looked at me and said, "Crazy, it seems the Grandmaster wants us two brothers to go!"
"Okay, I'll call Sister Fei right now!"
I took out my phone and called Sister Fei to tell her that my brother and I agreed to go to Hong Kong Island to give Lan Mengxia acupuncture.
Although we agreed, the Chinese New Year was just two days away, and acupuncture is not something that can be done in a day or two. A course of treatment takes at least seven days, so we have to go after the New Year.
Fei Jie said no problem, and told us to let her know when we had time so she could book our plane tickets.
In fact, besides the issue of time, there is also the issue of permits.
Fatty Lin is easy to talk to; he's been to Hong Kong Island and has a travel permit, but I've never been!
If you apply through the normal channels, you definitely won't make it in time.
There's no need to trouble Third Master with this; Aunt Xiao can handle it.
I greeted Aunt Xiao and told her about my trip to Hong Kong Island.
Aunt Xiao agreed without hesitation, saying she would get it done for me within three days, before the New Year.
I didn't expect it to be this fast.
In fact, the permit was issued even faster than Aunt Xiao had said; it only took one day.
