Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Chapter 26 is about to begin slapping faces

Wu Tian took out his phone and dialed a number, leaving Chen Cheng and the others puzzled.

Is he calling a rideshare?

Sitting in Chen Cheng’s car, Liang Qingren frowned delicately as she watched, her heart aching for Wu Tian. She had a favorable impression of him, and seeing how the others treated him made her feel as if they were targeting her as well. Opening the car door, Liang Qingren stepped out.

"Qingren, what are you doing?" Ah Juan called out from inside the car. "It’s raining! It’s much more comfortable in here."

Only then did everyone notice that Liang Qingren had walked over to Wu Tian’s side. "I’ll wait with you," she said. "But you owe me a meal for this."

At her words, Chen Cheng and the others in the luxury car were stunned.

What on earth is going on? Does Liang Qingren really care that much about this Wu Tian? But he has a child!

Many men at the Qin Corporation had pursued Liang Qingren and invited her to dinner, but she had refused them all. Yet now, she was actively approaching Wu Tian, even asking him to treat her to a meal. Comparing oneself to others was truly infuriating. Chen Cheng and the other men felt a tightness in their chests.

Meanwhile, Wu Tian’s call finally connected.

"Xiao Liang, it’s me," Wu Tian said, addressing him directly by name.

It was rare for Wu Tian to address anyone as ’Mr.’; in this world, there was likely no one he would. The patter of the rain masked the sound of their voices.

"Mr. Wu Tian? You finally called me!" On the other end, Mr. Xiao Liang, who had been practicing calligraphy, sounded suddenly excited and animated.

"Yes. I need to borrow your driver for a moment."

"No problem! Where are you right now?"

"..."

After a brief exchange, Wu Tian hung up.

From inside Chen Cheng’s Mercedes, Ah Juan suggested, "Shouldn’t we just leave?"

"No," Chen Cheng refused. "I want to see what kind of clunker he gets from a rideshare app. Putting a wreck like that next to our luxury cars... Heh, it’ll be even more humiliating for him."

A short while later, a vehicle approached them. It was like a warrior clad in black armor, both sturdy and stylish.

"That’s a Knight XV!" a senior executive in the BMW exclaimed.

It was 6.1 meters long, 2.5 meters wide, and 2.5 meters tall. Its exterior replaced typical vehicle curves with sharp, rhomboid lines, giving it the distinct, boxy look of an armored vehicle. Only a hundred units had been released in the entire Dragon Country, making it an exceptionally rare sight. Chen Cheng and Ah Juan stared at the Knight XV, their gazes completely captivated.

But in the next moment, their expressions turned to sheer disbelief.

The Knight XV, a prestigious car that few had ever seen in person, had pulled to a stop directly in front of Wu Tian.

"How is that possible?" Ah Juan uttered from the Mercedes, her voice filled with incredulity.

"He must be asking for directions. Yes, that’s all it is," Chen Cheng said immediately, trying to soothe his own bruised ego.

"Right, that must be it," Ah Juan nodded in agreement.

At that moment, the window of the Knight XV rolled down, revealing an old man inside. Who else could it be but Xiao Liang? He wore a newsboy cap and glasses as a disguise to avoid being recognized. He could have simply sent his driver, but Xiao Liang believed Wu Tian was one of the legendary experts whispered about in rumors—a person who must not be slighted. And so, disregarding his status as the father of a deputy provincial governor, Xiao Liang had driven over himself.

No, no, no, this is impossible! Maybe... maybe because he’s the president’s classmate, President Qin lent him the car and had her driver bring it. The news that Qin Yuhan and Wu Tian were classmates, which she had mentioned in the dining hall, had been overheard and spread among those who paid attention to such things. Only this explanation could make Chen Cheng feel slightly better.
