Zhou Wang remembered Zhou Zihan’s father, the securities tycoon from the Beijing Circle, mentioning in conversation that the Xueren Group had already evaporated over tens of billions in market value. As the chairman and largest shareholder, Gao Xuelan’s losses were imaginable.
Many other families in the Beijing Circle were also affected, but because Zhou Wang had timely tossed out the seemingly more attractive "Wangyuan Commerce" provision, those voices faded away.
Having figured everything out, Zhou Wang looked at Lin Feng, "Can you find out Gao Xuelan’s current whereabouts?"
Since the target was already identified, it was time to cut the grass at the roots. This time the assassin hired by the opponent was quite clumsy; if there is a next time, who knows what he will have to face?
"I’ll do my best."
This kind of business was not originally within the service scope of Tyrant Security, but Lin Feng had received instructions to "unconditionally comply with all orders from Zhou Wang," so he immediately agreed.
At this point, they could only wait. Having identified the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhou Wang felt much more at ease. He then asked, "Were Bao Jin and others taken away by the police, will there be any trouble?"
"If he’s not stupid, he should know what to say and what not to say. Theoretically, it shouldn’t involve you, rest assured, we have channels to keep up with the progress on that side. The most likely scenario is you might need to go make another statement, but I’ll give you reasonable advice on how to organize your story."
"Alright, then about Yang Xing... never mind, just pretend I didn’t ask."
Zhou Wang subtly glanced at the dirt marks on Lin Feng’s trousers and gestured with his hand for him to stop before speaking.
Lin Feng nodded and proactively said, "I will immediately check Gao Xuelan’s whereabouts. Until things are settled, Xiao Wang will lead a team to protect your safety closely, so Mr. Zhou, you can feel safe moving around in Magic City."
Oh?
Zhou Wang initially thought that after the Instant Security Card expired, these people would withdraw, but unexpectedly Lin Feng made such a suggestion, which was just to his liking.
Since the advanced bodyguard he booked was still nowhere to be found, after going through such an ordeal today, Zhou Wang indeed felt a bit insecure.
This might be what the ancients called "the higher you are, the colder it gets."
"Help me check one more thing."
Since there was ready high-end free labor, Zhou Wang was not polite. After some thought, he gave another instruction.
...
p.m.
The cold moonlight penetrated through the clouds over Magic City as Young Master Jian, Wang Lijia, and others walked out of the lobby of the Bulgari Hotel escorted by the suite manager.
Originally, Zhou Wang wanted to keep them for a late-night snack, but except for Huang Hui, who was somewhat tempted, the others claimed they had no appetite, so Zhou Wang didn’t push it and everyone left like that.
After they exited the hotel, except for Young Master Jian, who still seemed troubled, the others looked like fish finally returned to water, quietly breathing a sigh of relief.
While in the hotel, with security personnel around watching, they didn’t dare to speak loudly. At this moment, Huang Hui couldn’t hold back, speaking with a bit of excitement:
"Oh my, who exactly is Wenxi’s boyfriend? A single call brought over a hundred bodyguards, and there’s someone trying to assassinate him, my God, it’s like a movie. Plus, he’s handsome and rich, but we’ve never seen him in Wenxi’s circle..."
"Previously, when he dined with us, he seemed so down-to-earth, I really thought he was just an ordinary person."
Zhao Bin couldn’t help but remark with emotion.
The others also chimed in, and Young Master Jian originally wanted to add something, but at that moment, his phone rang again. Seeing the caller ID, his face fell once more.
"What’s wrong?"
Walking beside him, Wang Lijia asked, puzzled.
"My old man... damn, just because I left early while waiting before, he’s calling me irresponsible. I told him I almost got stabbed tonight, and he doesn’t believe me."
Young Master Jian wore a face full of worry, "He’s probably waiting for me at home with a stick, what should I do, Lijia, should I hide at your place for a while?"
Hearing this, Wang Lijia couldn’t help but cast a peculiar glance at Young Master Jian.
"What kind of look is that?"
Picking up on a sense of insult in Wang Lijia’s gaze, Young Master Jian said, annoyed.
"I thought you were supposed to be smart, Young Master Jian, how come you still haven’t figured it out?"
Wang Lijia said with exasperation.
"Figure out what?" Young Master Jian looked bewildered.
"The person your dad is looking for is Zhou Wang."
Already having obtained plenty of information from Xu Wenqian, Wang Lijia sighed, speaking confidently.
"Ha, you must be joking, how could my dad be looking for Zhou Wang, just with him... uh, he does seem a bit extraordinary, but it couldn’t be such a coincidence... oh, I did come with my dad to the Bulgari Hotel in the afternoon... wait, Wangzhou Culture, Zhou Wang? Someone from Beidou, all matching up... damn!"
Finally piecing everything together, Young Master Jian was momentarily stunned.
"Didn’t you just add Zhou Wang on WeChat?"
Wang Lijia continued to look at Young Master Jian with an idiot’s gaze, "Are you still afraid of not being able to go home? If your old man knows you’ve overachieved, he’ll probably let you beat him with the stick instead of the other way around..."
"Damn, damn... damn?!"
Momentarily at a loss for words, Young Master Jian could only express his swirling emotions that way. He excitedly patted Wang Lijia’s shoulder, turning to stride proudly towards the parking lot.
"Thanks, Lijia, I’m off to... uh, see my dad, let’s get in touch later!"
