Of course, Wei Haihong knew that Zhou Xuan didn't like long introductions, so he only mentioned their names, which was simple and clear. Of the two, Bob was German and Charles was British, but not the Prince Charles. However, this Charles was also a billionaire. Both Bob and Charles had personal wealth exceeding one billion US dollars, were not worried about making a living, and just liked to go on adventures.
On the plane, the group met in the luxurious cabin. Bob and Charles were somewhat displeased to see Wei Haihong bring a stranger. Wei Haihong understood their meaning and immediately smiled, saying, "Bob, Charles, this is Zhou Xuan, my brother. I know you're unhappy, but I must say, if it's an expedition, my brother is absolutely the best helper!" He pointed to Zhou Xuan, who could tell from their expressions that they looked down on him. Zhou Xuan chuckled, looked at the iron alloy table and the sturdy steel-framed glass in front of him—glass that could even withstand bullets—and then tapped lightly on the glass tabletop with his fingers, creating several finger holes!
This bulletproof glass was so easily pierced by Zhou Xuan's finger with just a light tap, leaving Bob and Charles speechless with astonishment!
They were both strong and healthy, and they often went on adventures and trained diligently, so they were very skilled. But no matter how strong they were, they could not be as strong as Zhou Xuan. Is this a level that a human can reach?
After a moment of stunned silence, Bob and Charles came to their senses. Bob pondered for a moment and said, "Wei, your brother is very skilled, very skilled, but you should also know our rules, right? Skill is one condition, and financial resources are the second condition. You understand that, right? If it's just about skill, then he might as well be our hired bodyguard and get paid!" Wei Haihong smiled and said, "I know. As for money, even if you three add up, our combined wealth doesn't amount to even a tenth of my brother's. Do you know who he is?!"

Chapter 679 The Fountain of Immortality
Bob asked in surprise, "Who is he?"
Bob and Charles were both surprisingly fluent in Mandarin. They were quite astonished by Wei Haihong's words. Wei Haihong said that Zhou Xuan's wealth was less than one-tenth of what the three of them combined could achieve. That was no small sum. Even if Wei Haihong's wealth was slightly less, it was still over 2 billion RMB. Bob and Charles were both worth 1 billion USD each. Together, their wealth was at least 2.5 billion USD. But if it was less than one-tenth of Zhou Xuan's wealth, it meant that Zhou Xuan's wealth was over 25 billion USD!
How could someone with such immense wealth be completely unknown in the world? And the fact that these two people don't even know each other is quite strange!
Wei Haihong smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of the Fu family in New York?"
Bob and Charles certainly knew the Fu family of New York. There were very few people in the world who didn't know the Fu family. The newly crowned world's richest man, instead of retreating during the financial crisis, stood out from the crowd and shone brightly in the stock market. He acquired all of the Fu family's shares in one fell swoop and successfully acquired two Fortune 500 companies at the same time, shocking the world!
How could Bob and Charles not know about this? They had also heard that the shares of the Fu family had been completely transferred from the current head, Fu Tianlai, to his grandson-in-law, a young Chinese man. Could that mysterious and indifferent young Chinese man be the young man in front of them?
However, since Wei Haihong said that, there's a 90% chance that's what he meant!
Sure enough, Wei Haihong said again, "Hehehe, this brother of mine is Zhou Xuan, the grandson-in-law of the Fu family. I think with his skills and wealth, he's good enough to board our private jet and travel with us, right?"
Bob and Charles paused for a moment, then both nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, that's enough, that's enough!"
The saying "heroes cherish each other" refers to this kind of moment. Zhou Xuan casually showed off his skills, which immediately shocked Bob and Charles. When they heard that Zhou Xuan was the heir to the wealth of the world's richest family, the Fu family, they were even more astonished!
At the international airport, they boarded Charles's private plane, an Airbus A320 that had been upgraded and modified. Originally, it had 150 seats, but after the modification, the cabin seats were removed and converted into several rooms, including a conference room, an entertainment room, a lounge, and a small bar. There were only 20 passenger seats in the cabin, which were modified to be comfortable and luxurious and could be reclined into beds for three bodyguards.
Because Wei Haihong didn't want any bodyguards with him and was feeling annoyed, he didn't bring any bodyguards. There were a total of fourteen bodyguards, all of whom were Bob and Charles's entourage.
However, Wei Haihong also understood that although he only had Zhou Xuan with him at the moment, he alone was equivalent to all of Charles and Bob's bodyguards. Moreover, after this meeting, the distance between the two of them had disappeared, so Wei Haihong was particularly excited.
The plane took off twenty minutes later. The four men sat on a luxurious sofa in a small bar, drinking. Bob clapped his hands, and four blonde women dressed in flight attendant uniforms immediately went in. Zhou Xuan could see clearly that all four women were beautiful and had amazing figures, truly devilish figures.
One of the women reached out and pressed a button on the bar counter. Immediately, the lights in the bar flickered, music started playing, and four blonde beauties began to sway and dance seductively. Their high breasts, slender waists, long and alluring legs, and delicate and beautiful faces were all so tempting!
Bob and Charles reached for their glasses and said to Zhou Xuan and Wei Haihong, "Zhou, Wei, come on, let's have a drink! Drinking and looking at beautiful women, there's nothing happier in life than this!"
As the four beauties danced, they reached out and pulled Bob and Charles up. Wei Haihong smiled and did not refuse, and stood up. Zhou Xuan saw that the trend was inevitable, and it would be no fun if he stood alone and did not join in the dancing, so he decided to join in.
He had never danced before, and when one of the blonde beauties pulled him to dance, he simply followed along and danced randomly. Given his status, he naturally didn't feel uncomfortable in front of this woman. Even though he couldn't dance, his expression was very natural, and he didn't feel awkward at all.
The four blonde beauties were clearly very bold. While dancing cheek to cheek, they took a sip of wine from their glasses and then fed the four men with their mouths. Of course, feeding them wine was just a gesture; the main thing was to kiss them with their tongues. For a moment, the small bar was filled with temptation and excitement.
Zhou Li finally couldn't hold out any longer and gave up, letting go of the beautiful woman's hand and taking a few steps back.
The beautiful woman asked in surprise, "Miss Zhou, am I not pretty enough? Am I not passionate enough? Don't you like me?"
A series of difficult situations pushed Zhou Xuan to the edge of a cliff, leaving him with no way out.
Wei Haihong came to Zhou Xuan's rescue, saying, "Hehe, ladies, although my brother is the world's richest man, he has always been a devoted man. His wife, Miss Fu Ying, is a world-class beauty!"
Wei Haihong was tactful and didn't want to stir up trouble at this time. He simply said that Fu Ying was a world-class beauty, without saying that Fu Ying was more beautiful than the four of them, but the meaning was the same.
The blonde beauty bit her lip, clearly displeased. In their minds, there were only these super-rich people, their status, and their extraordinary position. They never considered whether these super-rich people were married, had wives, or families. Although the social system was based on monogamy, for those super-rich people, this system was practically nonexistent. The vast majority of the wealthy led extremely decadent lives, with mistresses everywhere. In the upper class, there was none of the warmth and affection found in ordinary families; all that existed was the pursuit of money, backstabbing, and even fratricide!
Only Zhou Xuan is an exception. Although he is the world's number one super-rich man, there is not a single dispute in his family over money. Zhou Xuan even changed Fu Tianlai, who always valued power and money, making him change his views on money. Now, what he values most is the affection between family members.
Inside the airship, the bodyguards rested and chatted in the cabin, while Zhou Xuan and his three companions drank and made merry in the small bar. Of course, Zhou Xuan sat alone to one side, no longer playing this tempting game with them.
The beautiful woman was a little annoyed. She walked up to Zhou Xuan and sat on his lap. She reached out and touched the base of his thigh. She didn't believe that Zhou Xuan would be someone who wasn't attracted to a beautiful woman like her. She thought he was either pretending, or he wasn't a real man, or he was gay or something like that.
Zhou Xuan was truly overwhelmed. He reached out and lifted the beautiful woman up by the waist, placing her on the side of the sofa. At the same time, he used his ice-energy ability to freeze her, causing her to faint and lie on the sofa as if she were asleep.
The others thought Zhou Xuan had done something to her, knocking her unconscious. They were puzzled. It was rare to see a man who wasn't lustful. If he had a wife or family by his side, such behavior would be understandable, but none of the four of them had any family with them on the plane. Even if they did something outrageous, no one would know, so there was no need to hide it.
Bob and Charles were always surrounded by women, searching for beauties all over the world. Their lives were always about adventure and enjoying beautiful women. If a man has more money than he can spend, and doesn't enjoy life, then life naturally includes everything, with beautiful women taking the top priority. If a man's life is without beautiful women, then life is not life; it's a wasted life.
Is it reasonable that Zhou Xuan, the world's richest man, is not interested in women?
If his wealth came from the Fu family, he would be wary of them. But there are no outsiders on this plane, and they certainly wouldn't spread this kind of thing. So why is Zhou Xuan still resisting such a beautiful woman?
It's definitely not that these beauties aren't pretty enough, because Bob and Charles spent a huge amount of money to bring these four beauties back. Since they spent the money, they naturally have to enjoy it, otherwise the money would have been wasted!
Zhou Xuan's actions dampened the spirits of Bob, Charles, and even the other three women. They turned off the music and sat down on the sofa. Bob first checked the woman Zhou Xuan had pinned down, testing her breathing. Seeing that her pulse was steady, as if she were drunk, and that there was no injury to her body, he was relieved. However, he was quite amazed by Zhou Xuan's technique and, after thinking for a moment, asked, "Zhou, did you use Chinese acupressure? It's truly amazing!"
Zhou Xuan smiled without saying a word. It was best if that was what people thought, saving him the trouble of explaining. After thinking for a moment, he casually tapped the beauty's waist and released the ice barrier.
The woman let out an "oh," slowly opened her eyes, stretched, as if she had just taken a nap, sat up, and seeing several people staring at her, immediately asked, "Why are you all looking at me? What's wrong?... Hmm, did I just take a nap? That's strange. I think I was dancing, how did I suddenly fall asleep? Was I dreaming?"
When Zhou Xuan lifted the restriction, he also intentionally erased some of the things she had done to him from her mind. Of course, he didn't devour her brain cells, but used his mind-reading ability to directly erase her memories. This did not cause her any harm; it only eliminated a tiny bit of her memories.
Bob and Charles were both astonished. Both were skilled fighters with powerful punches and a love for adventure. They could easily handle five or six strong men, but seeing Zhou Xuan's condition, they were secretly alarmed. This young man was not only incredibly wealthy, but also unfathomably skilled. It seemed that neither of them could defeat him.
Fortunately, they are old friends with Wei Haihong. For them, wealth is one reason for such an expedition, but the main reason is adventure. And the treasure they are looking for in the place they are going to this time is very likely unrelated to money.
Wei Haihong only had a vague understanding of where he was going and the purpose of the trip, because the main reason for going was simply to relieve boredom and relax. He didn't care about wealth, so he didn't ask Bob and Charles any further questions.
Zhou Xuan, unlike Wei Haihong, was not indifferent. He immediately used his mind-reading ability to thoroughly explore the minds of Bob and Charles, leaving no stone unturned, including the deepest and most hidden parts of their brains. These two men were meticulous and much more difficult to read than ordinary people. However, Zhou Xuan's ability was too strong. He could read their thoughts effortlessly and almost directly accessed the deepest parts of Bob and Charles's minds.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan read "The Fountain of Immortality," along with some sea topographic maps and route maps, as well as some coordinate-like data. It turned out that the two people were looking for a place called "The Fountain of Immortality." However, Zhou Xuan was unable to read anything more in their minds. It seemed that the two of them did not know much about this place, or even knew very little about it. It seemed that they had only obtained a map and did not have much knowledge of this place.
