5:00 PM.


    Liu Jiahui’s team arrived promptly at the hotel where Charlie and Fei Kexin were staying, bringing him and Arman along in a luxurious Rolls-Royce.


    Upon seeing Charlie, Liu Jiahui respectfully addressed him, saying, “Mr. Wade, the convoy is fully prepared and ready for departure at your convenience.”


    Charlie nodded slightly and, noticing Mia’s absence, casually inquired, “Is Miss Mia here?”


    Liu Jiahui quickly responded, “Mr. Wade, I reached out to Mia, and she mentioned that she needed to go to the airport for a matter, so she went ahead on her own.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie replied, “Alright, then let’s proceed as well.”


    Half an hourter, Charlie and Fei Kexin followed Liu Jiahui’s motorcade to Hong Kong Ind International Airport.


    The convoy stopped in front of the VIP terminal. Liu Jiahui exited his vehicle first, hurrying over to Charlie’s car. After opening the door, he said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, you and Miss Fei need to go through security and customs together. The convoy will proceed through a separate vehicle channel for security checks. After that, we will wait for you at the airport. Once youplete the customs clearance, you can find me right outside.”


    Worried that Charlie might find the process inconvenient, he quickly added, “Mr. Wade, I must inform you that Hong Kong Ind has stricter aviation safety regtionspared to the United States, so these procedures are necessary. I appreciate your understanding.”


    Charlie smiled and nodded, saying, “Understood. Miss Fei and I will enter from here.”


    “Very well!” Liu Jiahui agreed, promptly stating, “Allow me to escort you both inside. Let’s go.”


    Charlie replied, “Mr. Liu, there’s no need for such formality. You may proceed, and we’ll manage on our own.”


    After that, Charlie and Fei Kexin exited the vehicle.


    Despite Charlie’s insistence, Liu Jiahui insisted on apanying them into the VIP building, watching as they entered the security screening area. He then quickly returned to the convoy to guide it through the dedicated vehicle channel for security checks.


    Since they had waited for Charlie and Fei Kexin, Liu Jiahui’s group had to go through one additional customs procedure. By the time theypleted their formalities and entered the airport, Liu Jiahui’s convoy had finished its security checks and was already waiting outside the VIP passage.


    As soon as Charlie and Fei Kexin emerged, Liu Jiahui, who was stationed at the entrance, approached them with respect. “Mr. Wade, I have already taken the liberty of sending your and Miss Fei’s luggage onto the ne. Additionally, I’ve prepared some local souvenirs from Hong Kong Ind, which have also been sent ahead.”


    Charlie smiled and replied, “I really appreciate all the effort you’ve put in, Mr. Liu. I feel bad about the expense.” Liu Jiahui chuckled, saying,


    “Mr. Wade, you are too kind. This is simply my duty. Besides, I didn’t prepare anything extravagant—just some quality dried abalone, yellow lip fish gtin, and Xinhui tangerine peel. These items are local delicacies and not too difficult to procure, but I wanted to ensure you had some.”


    Although he said this, Liu Jiahui couldn’t help but think, “The local gifts prepared for Charlie, the god of cmity, are worth tens of millions. It’s true what they say: it’s easy to invite a god, but hard to send them away.”


    Charlie, having heard Liu Jiahui’s words, smiled and remarked, “Mr. Liu, you’re being too modest. Any one of those items you mentioned is quite valuable.”


    Liu Jiahui quickly added, “While they are indeed expensive, they hardly express my gratitude to you, so please don’t hesitate to ept them.” Charlie nodded in agreement but noticed Mia was still not among those waiting outside the car, causing a hint of disappointment in his heart.


    However, he didn’t press Liu Jiahui further. “Mr. Liu, time is of the essence. Let’s get in the car and go.” Liu Jiahui nced at the time and replied quickly,


    “Mr. Wade, there seems to be an issue with Mia—she’s not reachable on the phone. Please hold on for a moment; I’ll try to contact her.” As he spoke, Liu Jiahui pulled out his phone, but just then, he heard Mia’s voice calling out from nearby: “Dad!” Charlie instinctively turned his head, and the moment he spotted Mia, the disappointment in his heart vanished instantly.


    He knew that if he hadn’t seen Mia before leaving Hong Kong Ind, it would have left him with a sense of regret.


    At that moment, Liu Jiahui’s face lit up with joy as he waved at Mia and yfully chided, “Where have you been? Everyone’s been waiting for you, and you didn’t even call me!”<fn2406> Latest content published on fin?novel</fn2406>


    Mia, catching her breath, exined, “A close friend just returned from Japan, and I asked her to bring back some things for me. I came to meet her, but her flight got dyed. I hurried over as soon as I picked up the items and ran all the way here without checking my phone.”
