To be honest, Wen Bao still holds a grudge about what happened back then.

After all, to be chased away in defeat by Liu Zhizhong, despite having a certain win, is indeed a very humiliating experience for the boss of the Southeast Asia Dark World.

After escaping back to Singapore, he was ridiculed by some gangs, which was a huge blow to his reputation.

Does he not want to regain his dignity and vent his anger? That's not the case.

Moreover, he had taken Xie Peng's money but didn't get the job done, which made him feel a bit guilty towards his childhood friend.

However, after meeting today, his impression of Liu Zhizhong greatly changed, feeling this young man was truly impressive, calm and resourceful, a government official with a genuine heart for the people.

Especially during the dinner, after a pleasant conversation, Liu Zhizhong voluntarily talked about his own background, expressing that upon reaching his status and achievements, facing the impoverished minorities and Han people in the Shanan region, he felt a deep empathy and wanted to contribute as much as possible to their education, healthcare, and employment, living up to his role as a government official.

At this moment, Liu Zhizhong greatly shocked Wen Bao, even creating a sense of resonance.

After all, Wen Bao, in his youth, lost his parents at an early age and wandered society, suffering from disdain and had quite a rebellious personality, leading to constant fights in school.

Of course, this also developed his patience and ruthlessness.

Later on, he dropped out of school and ventured into Southeast Asia, achieving fame and fortune through his efforts. He had all he could eat and wear, basking in wealth.

But encountering Liu Zhizhong, such a government official from home, his actions indeed touched Wen Bao.

Such a rare talent, a young official with vast perspective, alas...

Wen Bao even wondered if he had met such a government official in his childhood, would he have suffered so much?

The warmth that should have been present in his childhood remains his eternal regret!

After thinking it over, Wen Bao made his decision.

He returned home and in the secret chamber of his study, asked his information expert to register a virtual number using a South American IP.

Using this number, Wen Bao dialed Xie Peng's phone.

At this moment, Xie Peng had just finished accompanying Zhang Hongyang in a fieldwork meeting for a township road renovation project, exhausted to the point of feeling like a dog, with mud all over his shoes at the construction site!

Once back in the car, Xie Peng barely had time to catch his breath before needing to accompany Zhang Hongyang back to the county, where the county government had an urgent work meeting. The bumpy road conditions made him feel nauseous!

Just then, Wen Bao's call came through and Xie Peng suddenly perked up.

"My goodness, Brother Leopard, haven't seen you in ages, I thought you'd never contact me again!"

Hongyang, hearing this from the side, commented, "Hmm, your Brother Leopard?"

Seeing the driver still driving, Xie Peng immediately said, "Brother Leopard, just hold on a moment, I'll call you back in a bit. It's not convenient to talk right now."

"How long?"

"Half an hour?"

"Alright, I'll call you then."

Wen Bao hung up and called back after half an hour.

By this time, Xie Peng had returned to his office and could speak freely, energetically answering Wen Bao's call...
