I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 586 - 428 Found_2

Haojiang Seaside Villa Area.

In one of the most expensive and expansive villas by the sea, He Xiaojun looked at He Youling with an apologetic expression.

"Dad, I stationed people in every Tai Xing Entertainment City in Haojiang last night, but we still didn’t find the Living Immortal who helped me. Should we keep looking?"

"Of course we’re still looking! We’ll assign more people. We will definitely find this Living Immortal."

Sitting on the sofa, He Youling’s brow was also deeply furrowed. When he heard that Xia Liang had saved his son the day before, he had developed an immense interest in this Living Immortal whose name he didn’t even know. Unfortunately, despite searching all night, they hadn’t found so much as a shadow of Xia Liang.

"But Haojiang is so vast," He Xiaojun said reluctantly, gritting his teeth. "What if the Living Immortal didn’t come to the entertainment cities to have fun, but for some other reason? It would be incredibly difficult to find him in such a sea of people. Trying to find someone you’ve only met once is harder than finding a needle in a haystack."

Although the He family was the wealthiest in Haojiang, with a massive business empire and several casinos, finding a person whose name they didn’t even know was still an incredibly difficult task.

"This is all your fault!" Hearing his son’s words, He Youling walked straight over and rapped He Xiaojun sharply on the head. "A Living Immortal was right in front of you, and you just let him go! He told you so much, so you should have understood that he might not be an ordinary person. You should have at least gotten his phone number."

Thinking about how his son had missed an opportunity to connect with a true Living Immortal, He Youling felt a fresh wave of frustration surge within him.

Seeing this, He Xiaojun quickly came over to help calm his father down, simultaneously giving a meaningful glance to the butler standing nearby.

With a tacit understanding, the butler picked up a newspaper and approached He Youling’s side.

"Elder He, you should leave the search to the Young Master. That Living Immortal is a man of great power; he surely knows we are looking for him. If he wishes to see us, he will likely appear without us even having to search. If he doesn’t want to be found, I’m afraid we won’t find him no matter how hard we look."

The butler, knowing of Elder He’s poor health, continued trying to persuade the old master. "You haven’t read today’s paper yet, Elder He. Let me help you back to your room. I heard a female celebrity from Xiangjiang has come to Haojiang. Aren’t you interested in the film industry? Perhaps you could have a chat with her."

Taking the newspaper the butler handed him, He Youling slowly left the living room, but not before giving He Xiaojun one last reminder.

"Don’t let up on the search for the Living Immortal."

"I know, Dad," He Xiaojun promised, but his head immediately began to throb. Finding one person in a city as large as Haojiang was an overwhelming task.

Rubbing his temples, He Xiaojun casually picked up the other copy of the newspaper and began to read it. His gaze soon fixated on a large photograph on the front page. The photo was of Wu Tong, the hottest celebrity in Xiangjiang at the moment, and the headline read:

"Xiangjiang’s Sweetheart Wu Tong Arrives in Haojiang."

The article was about Wu Tong attending a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a newly opened entertainment city. An opening like that would never normally command so much space in the paper; the owner was a clever one.

After quickly skimming the article, He Xiaojun’s eyes returned to the photo. He had met Wu Tong in Xiangjiang before, so he didn’t find it particularly strange. However, this photo almost exclusively featured Wu Tong. Although the paper mentioned three people were at the ribbon-cutting, it seemed the photographer had specifically chosen an angle that captured only her. After all, the collective star power of the others, whoever they were, couldn’t possibly compare to Wu Tong’s.

After a cursory glance, He Xiaojun was about to turn the page, but suddenly, he froze. It was as if every joint in his body had locked in place. In a small corner of the photograph, he had just noticed the silhouettes of the other people at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Among those figures was the one person he had been thinking about day and night for the past two days!

Although the person’s face was blurry, his clothes were the same as when he had gotten off the plane.

After confirming it, He Xiaojun bolted up the stairs, yelling as he ran, "Dad, I found the Living Immortal!"

「Meanwhile.」

In Haojiang’s most exclusive commercial district, Xia Liang couldn’t help but click his tongue as he observed the bustling street. Haojiang truly deserved its reputation as one of the world’s four great entertainment cities. The level of prosperity on this street probably surpassed many of the commercial streets in Jingdu.

Although there were no entertainment venues on this particular street, one only had to look up to see a skyscraper several streets away. That building was the domain of Haojiang’s wealthiest man, He Youling, and one of the city’s most famous casinos.

I wonder if the Gambling King’s kid listened to me.

Xia Liang thought of He Xiaojun, whom he had met at the airport. He soon chuckled to himself.

He Xiaojun must have listened to me and changed his fated trajectory. Otherwise, if he had gotten into trouble, the news would have spread throughout all of Haojiang by now. More than a day has passed and I haven’t heard a thing, which means the guy ultimately believed me.

"Master Xia, did you suddenly think of something?"

Seeing Xia Liang abruptly stop and gaze at a distant high-rise, Wu Tong’s eyes filled with curiosity.

Xia Liang slowly shook his head. "It’s nothing."

With that, he resumed his stroll through the commercial district, though the numerous stares from passersby made him feel rather awkward. But what could he do, with the hottest young starlet from Xiangjiang trailing behind him? He had heard so many gasps of surprise along the way that his ears were starting to go numb.

"Hey, look over there. Why does that beautiful woman look so familiar?"

"Wait, isn’t that Wu Tong? The hottest rising starlet in Xiangjiang right now! Why is she out shopping with someone? And look at her expression, it’s so deferential. That can’t be right, can it?"

"The gentleman in front of her must be some prominent young master from Xiangjiang. I can only dream of a scene like that, but he’s actually living it."

"Sigh. It’s infuriating to compare yourself to others."

Listening to the constant chatter, Xia Liang felt a bit helpless and glanced back at Wu Tong.

It’s not like Wu Tong doesn’t know how famous she is right now, yet she’s following me around without even wearing a mask. Isn’t she afraid of being recognized? I’ve already spotted several paparazzi on this short walk.

He could already imagine tomorrow’s headlines in both Haojiang and Xiangjiang.

’Shocking! Xiangjiang’s Starlet in Secret Rendezvous with Mystery Boyfriend in Haojiang! Is This Moral Decay or a Perversion of Human Nature?’

As the thought crossed his mind, Xia Liang casually stepped into a high-end jewelry store beside them. He was getting tired of wearing a watch and wanted to find something different.

The employees inside the jewelry store had spotted them from afar. As the pair approached, the staff hastily returned to their posts, the female employees in particular fixing their gazes on Xia Liang, their eyes sparkling with interest. Their thoughts were nearly identical. Anyone walking with a young star like Wu Tong had to be a big boss or a rich heir. In any case, money was no object.

Wu Tong was a major celebrity now. To win her favor, this wealthy young man would probably have to bleed a fortune. From the moment they walked in, the sale was already halfway made. Whoever managed to close this deal would earn a commission so high it was scary.

Therefore, as Xia Liang entered the jewelry store, nearly every employee prepared to approach him. But before anyone else could move, a voice cut in.

"Welcome to our jewelry store, sir. How may I assist you?"

The speaker was the store manager. Seeing him step forward, the other employees could only grit their teeth and say nothing. The manager had been observing the couple for a while and had moved to greet them directly.
