From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Chapter 104: Outwardly Strong but Inwardly Weak

Su Chen wasn’t an idiot. He knew there had to be some undisclosed secrets, or at least things Hou Ting couldn’t comfortably say.

"Alright, I get it!"

Just as Su Chen was about to hang up, Hou Ting’s voice came through the phone again, tinged with hesitation.

"Young Master Su, wait!"

"Hm? What’s up?" Su Chen asked, confused.

Hou Ting was silent for a moment, then said with some apprehension, "Young Master Su, ’A single cloud over the dark northwest sky.’ I can’t say any more than that!"

A smile touched Su Chen’s lips. "Thanks!"

After hanging up, Su Chen began to ponder the meaning of Hou Ting’s phrase. He thought for a long time but couldn’t make sense of it.

’Sigh... It seems my foundation is just too shallow,’ Su Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

He had a vague sense of what was going on, but giving up just like that? Impossible!

Su Chen sat on the sofa, lost in thought for about three minutes. Finally, he looked up at Jiang Hui and his companion. "Why don’t you two go to your rooms and get some rest."

The two of them understood immediately. What was coming next was not for their ears. They promptly stood up and returned to their rooms.

’Sigh... I thought I was already pretty formidable, but it turns out I was just getting ahead of myself. Right now, I’m just all bark and no bite.’

With a self-deprecating chuckle, he picked up his phone and made another call.

The phone rang for a good ten seconds before someone picked up.

"Brother Cheen, hope I’m not disturbing you."

That’s right—the person Su Chen was calling was Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen glanced at the people beside him before speaking calmly, "Hm? It’s nothing. What’s up? You sound troubled."

Su Chen let out a wry laugh. "Sigh... I’ve run into a bit of trouble and wanted to get your advice."

"You’re asking me for advice? What kind of trouble could you possibly have that you can’t solve? Unless..." A thought suddenly struck Xiao Chen. "Go on, tell me what’s wrong."

"Brother Cheen, what does ’A single cloud over the dark northwest sky’ mean?" Su Chen didn’t waste any time, getting straight to the phrase Hou Ting had given him.

The moment Xiao Chen heard this, he connected it with Su Chen’s trip to Inner Mongolia and had a pretty good idea of what was happening. "Hm? Kid, don’t tell me you pissed off someone from the Yun family?"

"The Yun family? No, it’s like this..."
