Chapter 218: Shanghai Fantasy
Afterward, Zhang Kui inquired about Wu Hao and then gave a few instructions before leading his team to prepare for the trip to Sanyuan City.
However, on the way to Sanyuan City, Zhang Kui called Wu Hao, “Mr. Wu, I just heard that you’ve returned to the country. Why didn’t you notify me in advance so I could personally pick you up?” Through months of phone conversations, Zhang Kui had roughly figured out Wu Hao’s personality, so his words were as if they were old friends.
“Team Zhang, you’re with the National Security Bureau, handling important matters of national security. How could I trouble you to come personally?” Wu Hao was not surprised to receive Zhang Kui’s call and casually responded with a light laugh.
Hearing this, Zhang Kui made a few more polite inquiries and, as usual, did not receive any substantial answers before getting straight to the point. “Mr. Wu, since you’re back in the country, I’d like to discuss something with you in person. When would be convenient for you?”
“Tomorrow morning will be fine. You choose the location,” Wu Hao said softly. Wu Hao was well aware of Zhang Kui’s purpose, which was to clarify his stance face-to-face. Wu Hao intended to use this meeting to convey his stance to the **** authorities.
His stance was simple: he would not engage in any activities that threaten **** national security, but it would be best if the **** authorities did not intentionally cause him trouble. Essentially, maintaining a peaceful status quo was ideal; otherwise, Wu Hao would not sit idly by.
Two hours later, the private jet carrying Wu Hao landed at the airport in Sanyuan City. The airport was not large, with only a runway suitable for small to medium-sized aircraft and a modest terminal with fewer facilities compared to some large domestic airports.
Before Wu Hao’s private jet arrived, a convoy consisting of several Volvo SUVs and two custom extended Rolls-Royces had already arrived at the airport, waiting for Wu Hao.
