Chapter 316: Ending
He is so pretentious... I can't stand it!
Jiang Yisen in the crowd was complaining crazily in his heart, but he couldn't help but automatically create a background music in his mind for Zhou Wang who was walking over.
God of Gamblers? That doesn't seem right...
A Chinese Odyssey? That’s not quite right…
A Better Tomorrow, Shelby, Once Upon a Time in China, Conan...all kinds of messy BGMs flashed through Jiang Yisen's mind one by one, and finally stopped at the background music in Hot Blood High School when Oguri Shun went to challenge a school alone.
Well, this BGM seems to be quite interesting... This is it!
Unfortunately, Zhou Wang walked too fast. Before the music in Jiang Yisen's mind ended, Zhou Wang had already passed through the corridor and came closer.
"Mr. Zhou!"
Huang Duming ran over from the crowd. Zhou Wang greeted him and whispered, "Um, President Han is on his way..."
"It seems meaningless for him to be here, so there's no need for him to come... or are you unable to command these security guards?"
Zhou Wang shook his head and glanced at him again.
"Of course not...Okay, I'll tell President Han right away."
After talking to Huang Duming, Zhou Wang walked forward, but some people around him looked at him strangely again.
Qiu Zeyu glanced at Zhou Zihan in confusion, as if he wanted to know why the property people knew Zhou Wang and were so respectful?
But in fact, this was also Zhou Zihan's doubt, because she was not the one who called the property management and security. When Zhou Wang found her, Huang Duming had already brought the security guards to the door...
It happened so suddenly that Zhou Zihan didn't have time to ask Zhou Wang.
Amidst all kinds of gazes, Zhou Wang finally came to the rest area next to the living room. On one side of the long sofa, Zhao Yan and others who were restrained by the security guards were squatting on the ground. Xu Jing, wrapped in a coat and with a pale face, was trembling. Only Xue Peng, with a changeable expression, stood in the middle. When he saw Zhou Wang appear, he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Jiang Minghao still sat there in silence, only Qiu Zeyu came over.
"Well, buddy, have you figured it out?"
As Qiu Zeyu spoke, he handed Zhou Wang a cigarette.
"It's pretty much what I guessed. Look, that girl was used to frame me... As for Xue Peng, he wanted to get MJ, but failed."
Zhou Wang briefly explained it.
"MJ?"
Qiu Zeyu only thought about the previous part and never expected that Xue Peng would do such a thing. He was shocked.
Jiang Minghao, who was sitting on the sofa, also frowned. He glanced at Xue Peng coldly and said, "Rubbish!"
Zhou Wang and Qiu Zeyu did not deliberately lower their voices when talking, and many people around heard it. Some people were surprised at the relationship between Zhou Wang and Qiu Zeyu. They seemed so close, and it was clear that the two were on an equal footing...
And according to the rumor version ten minutes ago, wasn’t it said that this Zhou Wang was just the “pretty boy” that Zhou Zihan liked?
Many more people were shocked by the whole story. They didn't need to know the details, but from Zhou Wang's few words, they could roughly guess what had happened.
To be honest, incidents like frame-up and MJQJ are not uncommon in the dark side of this circle, and many of them have not been exposed. Especially for Xue Peng, most people have actually heard of similar rumors about him in the past.
But this kind of thing could never be made public. For a moment, everyone looked at Xue Peng strangely.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xue Peng's face flushed red, unable to remain calm any longer. He could not help but say, "Zhou Wang, stop slandering me. We both agreed to this..."
Snapped!
Xue Peng's words came to an abrupt halt because a security guard who was staring at him nearby, seeing that he was a little excited, went up to him and slapped him in the face.
"What are you yelling about, you bastard? How can you talk to our CEO Zhou? Try yelling again!"
The security guard had no idea how noble the identities of the people present were. He only remembered that on the way here, Huang Duming repeatedly emphasized to them that they must be respectful to the owner of the house, Miss Zhou, but they must not offend Mr. Zhou Wangzhou who asked them to come over.
Xue Peng was stunned by the slap and couldn't recover for a long time.
This was the first time he had been slapped in the face since he was a child. What was even more difficult for him to accept was that the person who slapped him was actually a security guard...
The faces of the people around him became more and more strange. Qiu Zeyu almost couldn't help laughing out loud. He quickly turned his head away and it took him a long time to control his expression.
"Look at the chicken feathers, believe it or not, I will slap you again!"
Seeing Xue Peng staring at him with disbelief, the security guard pretended to raise his hand again.
"Well, that's enough."
Zhou Wang, who was also feeling both amused and helpless, waved his hands.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou!"
The security guy responded, stood up straight, and then stepped aside.
Xue Peng, filled with shame and anger, clenched his fists tightly. He turned around and stared at Zhou Wang, his eyes looking as if they were about to spit fire:
"Mr. Zhou... Mr. Zhou, what do you want today? Draw a path for me!"
Xue Peng originally wanted to call Zhou Wang by his name, but the security guard next to him was still staring at him. Xue Peng was afraid that this fool would hit him again, so he had to change his words temporarily.
"Boss Xue thinks too highly of me. What can I do to you? No matter how powerful I am, I am not above the law. Your actions will be judged by the law...Captain Feng's colleagues are on their way."
Zhou Wang said lightly.
Zhao Yan and the others became agitated upon hearing this. Xue Peng's face also changed. He asked coldly, "Are you trying to kill me?"
"Boss Xue, I think you got it wrong. You were the one who killed me first."
Zhou Wang shook his head.
"I...I just wanted to teach you a lesson. Besides, you didn't actually do any harm, did you?"
Xue Peng forced a smile and said, "You should know my identity, Mr. Zhou. Please give me some space so that we can meet again in the future..."
"In the future?"
Zhou Wang smiled, his eyes deep, "I don't understand where your illusion comes from...Xue Peng, do you really think you are worthy of dealing with me?"
Hearing Zhou Wang's arrogant words, not to mention Xue Peng, even Feng Yuanzheng, Mr. Wang and others around him felt a little uncomfortable, but neither Qiu Zeyu nor Jiang Minghao reacted, and of course they couldn't show it.
"you……"
Xue Peng gritted his teeth and was about to say something when he suddenly heard the faint sound of sirens in the distance outside the villa.
As the commotion broke out in the hall, Xue Peng's expression changed again and again. He quickly lowered his voice and said anxiously, "Boss Zhou, I was wrong about what happened tonight. I apologize to you... So, no matter what the conditions are, just ask for them. You know I have the ability to do so. How about we just let this go?"
Zhou Wang suddenly laughed.
Just when Xue Peng thought Zhou Wang was moved, Zhou Wang's laughter became louder.
A few seconds later, Zhou Wang's smile suddenly disappeared. He stared at Xue Peng and said word by word:
"If I were just that 'outsider Zhou Wang', and if you really succeeded today, and I told you to just forget it, would you agree?"
When Xue Peng was speechless, Zhou Wang said calmly:
"Xue Peng, you're not regretting it, you just know... you're really going to fail this time."
The wailing of sirens echoed Zhou Wang's powerful words and also made Xue Peng's face turn pale.
In a corner of the hall, Zhou Zihan stared at Zhou Wang silently. At this moment, his eyes seemed to be pulling out threads...
……
A few minutes later, the police from the brigade arrived. Feng Yuanzheng went to greet them and whispered the situation to his colleagues. Then, with the assistance of the security guards on the scene, Xue Peng, Zhao Yan and others were escorted out.
Xue Peng seemed to have figured something out, as he remained silent until he got into the police car. He just stared at Zhou Wang again with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Zhou Wang, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time. I was blind and didn't know the real man. I beg you, even for Song Rui's sake..."
Zhao Yan, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly broke free from the police's restraints after realizing that Xue Peng could not save him. He rushed over, knelt in front of Zhou Wang, and burst into tears.
The regret that seemed to come from deep within his bones made everyone present sigh.
Zhou Wang didn't know how he had the nerve to mention Song Rui, but he couldn't argue with such a person, so he just looked at him coldly and let him be carried into the police car by the police.
As for Xu Jing, she was completely scared to death... When she was dragged away, obvious marks were left on the ground. She also tried to rush over and hug Zhou Wang's legs, but was held tightly by the female police officer next to her.
After Song Rui came out of the room and got on the police car, Feng Yuanzheng walked over and said to Zhou Wang: "Mr. Zhou, you may also need to follow and make a statement..."
This was as it should be, and Zhou Wang certainly had no objection. He immediately said hello to Zhou Zihan and got into the police car. Also going with him were the property company staff, security guards on the scene, etc. They were all important witnesses.
Qiu Zeyu thought about it and followed Zhou Wang. As for Cheng Yiyi, she was also sent to the hospital because she was not in good condition and had not yet regained consciousness. After the people involved left, the hall suddenly became much emptier.
After what happened, the party definitely couldn't go on, but most people were still unwilling to leave and were still whispering about something.
Especially for those "marginal figures" who sneaked into the party for various reasons, what they saw tonight was simply beyond their imagination. It is expected that for a long time to come, this will be their capital for showing off in various social activities.
At this time, Jiang Minghao stood up first, "Zi Han, I'm leaving first."
"President Jiang, please take care. I apologize for the poor hospitality today."
Zhou Zihan, who was still thinking about something, nodded at Jiang Minghao.
Jiang Minghao brought his younger brother, Mr. Wang and others out of the hall and came to the garden. Seeing that Jiang Minghao still didn't say a word, Mr. Wang finally couldn't help but speak.
"Brother Hao, what happened today..."
Jiang Minghao stopped and turned around. Except for Jiang Yisen, the other people also had an expression as if they wanted to say something but hesitated. He couldn't help but smile faintly.
"You all seem to have a lot of questions, so just say whatever you want to say."
"Brother Hao, I don't quite understand. Logically speaking, Zhou Wang rejected your invitation. Even if you are magnanimous and don't hold it against him, there is no need to stand up for him at this time, right?"
Mr. Wang's words expressed the thoughts of everyone present, and others couldn't help but nod their heads.
Yes, the platform...
Although Jiang Minghao seemed to be just a bystander throughout the whole process and didn't say much, his appearance there itself was an attitude of support.
No matter what happened to Xue Peng afterwards, in the eyes of others, Jiang Minghao was on Zhou Wang's side.
So they couldn't understand why Jiang Minghao wanted to do this?
In response, Jiang Minghao just smiled.
"Based on Zhou Wang's attitude, it's unlikely that he and I will be on the same page. Maybe at some point in the future, we will even be rivals, but... how does this conflict with asking him to do me a favor?"
When everyone was stunned, Jiang Minghao said meaningfully:
"Xue Peng is destined to be a dead dog. Why should we miss an opportunity to do a favor just because of a momentary dispute... This investment is very worthwhile."
"But the Xue family can't just sit there and watch Xue Peng go in. We all feel that Zhou Wang is indeed an important figure, but this is Beidu after all. Will Qiu Zeyu really go all out to help him? If Qiu Zeyu takes action, then Xue Peng might really be in trouble..."
This was actually the second doubt that others had. Judging from Jiang Minghao's attitude, it seemed that Xue Peng really had no hope of turning the tables.
"Hahaha……"
Before Jiang Minghao could say anything, Jiang Yisen beside him couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into laughter.
"Xiao Sen, what are you laughing at?"
One of them couldn't help but ask.
"You actually think Qiu Zeyu is behind this?"
After Jiang Yisen finished laughing, he said disdainfully, "Zhou Zihan told you a long time ago that this party was held for Zhou Wang. You don't think they really have an improper relationship, do you? Besides, didn't Qiu Zeyu himself tell Xue Peng? What's wrong with your brains?"
When everyone was confused, Mr. Wang remembered a key word that Qiu Zeyu had said before, and he finally figured it out.
"Fuck, so what happened in Furong that night was really..."
Mr. Wang stopped talking halfway and immediately shut his mouth because of some concerns, but it was enough to say this.
The others suddenly realized what was going on. Only then did they finally understand why Jiang Minghao had so many concerns about Zhou Wang, and even felt that a favor from him was rare...
For a moment, several people were a little annoyed. If they had known this would happen, they should not have been so arrogant. They should at least have exchanged contact information with Zhou Wang.
……
It was already two o'clock in the morning.
At the gate of a certain branch, under the bright street lights, Feng Yuanzheng escorted Zhou Wang, Qiu Zeyu and others out.
He first had a private conversation with Qiu Zeyu for a while. Zhou Wang couldn't hear clearly what the two were saying. He could only see Feng Yuanzheng's expression changing from time to time.
After a while, Feng Yuanzheng came over and said goodbye to Zhou Wang.
"Mr. Zhou, I will keep an eye on this case. Don't worry, I will keep you informed of any progress as long as it does not involve confidentiality."
At this time, Feng Yuanzheng became particularly polite towards Zhou Wang, and kept shaking hands with Zhou Wang with a smile.
"Then I'll trouble Captain Feng."
Zhou Wang smiled.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Zhou Wang, Feng Yuanzheng, seeing that no one was paying attention, said to Zhou Wang quietly before parting:
"Well, Mr. Zhou, please send me the address of your club later..."
Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, without mentioning that Feng Yuanzheng had clearly said before that his identity might not be convenient.
After exchanging contact information with Feng Yuanzheng, Feng Yuanzheng waved to everyone and hurried back.
At this time, Qiu Zeyu came over, smiled and shook his head and said, "Brother, what a pity. I was planning to get drunk with you today... How about we find another place to drink?"
"Forget it, it's already this late, let's go back to sleep... there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Zhou Wang looked at the time and then shook his head.
"That's fine. My driver is here to pick me up. Where are you going, bro? I'll give you a ride."
"No need. Their property management should have a car to pick me up. I can just go back with them."
Zhou Wang pointed at Huang Duming and others who were waiting not far away.
go back?
Qiu Zeyu was stunned for a moment, then thinking about Huang Duming and others' attitude towards Zhou Wang and Zhou Wang's previous joke, a light bulb went off in his head and he finally understood something.
"...Don't tell me you really bought a house in Beidu No. 1 Courtyard."
"It's true. Didn't I tell you before? You didn't believe it..."
Zhou Wang spread his hands helplessly.
Qiu Zeyu was speechless for a moment. Damn, who would believe such a thing?
He still had a rough idea of how difficult it was to buy a house in Beidu No. 1 Courtyard, but Zhou Wang did have the ability to do so, so Qiu Zeyu was only slightly shocked and soon felt relieved.
"When Zi Han hears this news, he will probably be extremely happy."
Qiu Zeyu then thought of other aspects and couldn't help but blinking at Zhou Wang and chuckled.
"What does that have to do with me?"
"Zi Han is so beautiful, aren't you moved at all?"
"Brother, I told you I'm a serious man and I'm not interested in women..."
"alright."
Looking at Zhou Wang's serious look, Qiu Zeyu remembered Zhou Wang's previous words and deeds, and nodded in approval. Just as he was about to say something, he caught a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye and was startled, "Hey, that's the female DJ from the party, right? Why is she here?"
Zhou Wang looked up and saw Jiang Mubai wrapped in a windbreaker. She had probably been wandering here for quite a while. When she saw Zhou Wang and others coming out, she immediately ran over in surprise.
"Boss Zhou, you finally came out. I came here as soon as I received your message. It's freezing outside..."
Jiang Mubai felt a little aggrieved, so he took Zhou Wang's arm and acted coquettishly.
Zhou Wangshi didn't expect Jiang Mubai to come so quickly. After all, he was about to finish the transcript and suddenly he sent her the message when he suddenly felt something. It had only been more than ten minutes.
Or maybe she was waiting nearby.
Looking at Zhou Wang, who looked a little embarrassed, Qiu Zeyu's mouth twitched, and he realized that he had been deceived by Zhou Wang...
Damn, you're not interested in women?
I believe you!
