Chapter 73 Good people are always blessed!
[Hello? A-Hao.]
It was Huang Fengwen's voice, so familiar yet now sounding like heavenly music!
" Brother Huang!!!"
Su Hao shouted with all his might, almost shattering the phone's earpiece!
[Ouch! You scared me! You brat, trying to deafen your brother, huh?]
Huang Fengwen's voice sounded strong and energetic, with a hint of playfulness.
"No, no... Brother Huang, are you... are you alright?! Is everything... alright on your end?"
Su Hao asked incoherently, his heart still pounding wildly in his chest.
[Of course I'm fine! I couldn't be better, kid!]
Upon hearing this, Su Hao's heart, which had been pounding in his chest, suddenly dropped back into his stomach with a "thud".
He breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if his bones had been removed, and almost collapsed to the ground.
The immense tension that welled up from the bottom of his heart burst forth like a flood the moment it was confirmed, leaving him completely exhausted.
"Thank goodness...thank goodness..." he murmured to himself, his voice filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.
"I just saw the news that there was a serious bomb attack in Riyadh... It scared me to death! It seems that Brother Huang, you were far away from the blast site and were not affected. You are so lucky!"
"Actually..." Huang Fengwen paused on the other end of the phone, his tone somewhat strange, "I didn't go to Saudi Arabia at all."
"Huh???" Su Hao was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
[We were almost at the airport, but the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. Your incoherent words kept echoing in my head like a demonic chant.]
Huang Fengwen's voice carried a hint of lingering fear.
So, at the airport entrance, I decisively told the driver to turn around, and all my plans were cancelled!
"No, no way... Brother Huang, you... you really canceled the trip because of what I said?"
Su Hao could hardly believe his ears. Even he himself found his words absurd, a desperate gamble, but unexpectedly…
[Of course!] Huang Fengwen chuckled, his tone returning to its usual irreverent manner.
[Just kidding! You're now the number one cash cow and pillar of Fang Huan Investment!]
You promised to play games with me, but if I go against your good intentions and insist on going to Saudi Arabia...
Who knows what kind of misfortune might befall us along the way! That would be such a bad deal.
So, my buddy made a snap decision and turned around to go home! Hahaha!
Huang Fengwen made a few lighthearted jokes, then his tone suddenly became serious:
[But speaking of which, A-Hao...]
"Yes, Brother Huang, please go ahead."
[You little brat... come clean, you didn't... know about this beforehand, did you? This bomb attack.]
"Pfft—cough cough cough!" Su Hao almost choked on his own saliva.
" Brother Huang, don't scare me! You can't just say things like that that could get you killed! I... I don't have any supernatural abilities to predict the future!"
[That's true, I doubt you'd have the guts.] Huang Fengwen pondered for a moment,
Okay, it's good that you're alright. Anyway, your brother is safe and sound, and you can relax now.
Oh right, hurry up and gather all those bastards in the guild. Tonight, we're going to grind dungeons all night!
The fight isn't over until the server restarts!
"Alright! I'll arrange it right away, and I'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you!"
Su Hao laughed, his mood instantly soaring from hell to heaven.
[Okay, go ahead and get back to what you're doing.]
After hanging up the phone, Su Hao let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his whole body drenched in cold sweat.
That's great...that's really great...
In that instant, countless terrifying thoughts flashed through his mind.
They've even started imagining how Brother Huang would face this cruel reality if something really happened to him.
How to face Brother Huang's family, how to face the company's future...
The despair and self-blame almost crushed him.
Fortunately, it was all just a false alarm.
But then again, this terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia is just too damn horrifying!
Isn't that place supposed to be the safest fortress in the Middle East?
With the US backing them up, how could such a large-scale attack happen?
These terrorists are incredibly audacious!
"No, now is not the time to think about these things!" Su Hao suddenly slapped his forehead.
The terrorist attack on Saudi Arabia is a black swan event that will undoubtedly cause severe turmoil in global financial markets!
Although most of their company's funds have been converted into safe-haven currencies like Swiss francs, they are currently safe.
However, the market is constantly changing, so we must remain vigilant and closely monitor subsequent developments!
The time has come to rejoin the battle!

Huang Fengwen hung up the phone, leaned back in his chair, let out a long sigh, but his eyes held a complex expression.
The terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia... are truly appalling.
He was almost certain that if he hadn't inexplicably told the driver to turn around at the airport, if he had ignored Su Hao's seemingly absurd warnings...
At this moment, the name " Huang Fengwen " will likely be added to the cold, hard casualty figures in news reports.
The thought sent a chill down his spine.
" Chairman Huang!!"
" Chairman Huang—! Are you alright—!!"
Just as Huang Fengwen was about to calm down and sort out the ins and outs of this unbelievable situation, the office door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang!
A group of senior executives from the company rushed in like refugees, their faces ashen, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Holy crap! You scared the hell out of me! Did you guys plan this all in advance to scare me?!"
Huang Fengwen cursed in annoyance.
"No, no, Chairman Huang! What... what is going on?!"
Leading the charge was none other than Executive Director Liu, who had almost "gone to the underworld" with him!
At this moment, Old Liu's face was paler than a wall, his lips were trembling, and he could barely speak.
After all, he was the only high-ranking official besides Huang Fengwen who was originally scheduled to fly to Saudi Arabia!
" Chairman Huang! You are truly… truly amazing! Thank God!"
A vice president, patting his chest, shouted, still shaken.
"When you suddenly announced the cancellation of your trip to Saudi Arabia this morning, we were all puzzled. We thought you weren't feeling well, but we never expected this..."
"I never expected this to happen! This...this has saved our lives!"
"Yes, yes! Chairman Huang, you are truly blessed! It must be God protecting you!!"
"May the Bodhisattva protect us! May our ancestors protect us!"
The crowd chattered, with exclamations of surprise and relief filling the air.
