Seeing Zhou Wang already getting up, Jian Zhuoran and the others exchanged glances and quickly stopped him.
"Mr. Zhou, hold on, just a moment..."
"What’s the matter?"
Zhou Wang halted his steps, puzzled.
"Miss Lin, the name you just mentioned, was it He Jiang?"
Jian Zhuoran first looked towards Lin Ran.
"Uh, I’m not clear about the exact name, just heard people beside me calling him Mr. He..."
"Were they dining in the next room? Were there many people, with bodyguards and attendants?"
Shi Tian immediately followed up with a question.
"Yes, they came from the next room, and they brought bodyguards..."
"That must be it then!"
Once confirmed, the expressions of Jian Zhuoran and others turned serious. Seeing Zhou Wang frown with a bit of impatience, Jian Zhuoran quickly explained to Zhou Wang:
"Mr. Zhou, the people in the next room might be ones we shouldn’t provoke... I mentioned this Mr. He during our earlier conversation. You might have some impression, right?"
"The one whose father once drove for Guo Wangshan?"
Zhou Wang recalled briefly and seemed to have a faint impression.
"Yes, but that was a long time ago. He Jiang’s father rose to prominence relying on the Guo Group and later married the daughter of another family. After years of effort, the He Family is now one of the top families in the Magic City, with vast business operations and extensive connections. Ordinary merchants all have to show them some respect..."
Jian Zhuoran spoke quickly, striving to describe the formidable power of the He Family in the shortest time possible.
"This Mr. He is notorious for his arrogance within the circle, and unfortunately, he has the means to back it up... So Mr. Zhou, if your assistant had a conflict with Mr. He, you must be very cautious!"
Shi Tian subtly reminded at this point.
Zhou Wang chuckled upon hearing this, "Oh, understood... Sister Ran, lead the way."
As Zhou Wang followed Lin Ran out, Jian Zhuoran and the others exchanged a glance, looking somewhat relieved.
Mr. Zhou... probably understood, right?
Soon, they also followed, thinking that as long as Zhou Wang handled it well, it might even be an opportunity... After all, the people in that room were those they also wanted to connect with.
And Zhou Wang, obviously, had more capital to deal with those people. Given Zhou Wang’s maturity and composure beyond his years shown earlier, he likely wouldn’t make the situation too tense, right?
...Just need to tolerate Mr. He’s bad temper a bit.
While Jian Zhuoran was thinking this, the group had already exited the room, arriving in the hallway.
From afar, the group saw the chaos in the corridor.
A young man in a windbreaker, agile in stature, was skillfully engaging with two brawny men in suits. Their moves were sharp and powerful, and occasionally, as force was unleashed, the white ceramic tiles on the walls turned to shards, and flower stands toppled. During their exchanges, the thuds of flesh against flesh were alarming...
Zhou Wang narrowed his eyes.
As an elite in Tyrant Security, although Xiao Wang wasn’t in the top tier, his skills were unquestionably acknowledged by Gao Xing.
Yesterday, at home, Xiao Wang couldn’t resist sparring with Gao Xing; they went to the gym, and Zhou Wang didn’t know the outcome. Anyway, ten seconds later, they came out, but Xiao Wang had an expression of wholehearted admiration.
As for Gao Xing, at that time, he slightly nodded and even clinked glasses with Xiao Wang over a beer... In Zhou Wang’s view, this was probably an acknowledgment, right?
All in all, Zhou Wang considered Xiao Wang to be quite the fighter, but now, he was clearly at a disadvantage. Although his movement remained agile, his face had started to show signs of bruising.
Even though he was up against two people, it was evident these two were not ordinary.
Behind the fighting trio, further back, stood Xu Wenqian, with small fists clenched tightly. While hinting at tension, her expression remained steely.
When his gaze shifted again, Zhou Wang, initially frowning, was suddenly struck with astonishment.
Because reclining on the sofa behind Xu Wenqian was an unconscious middle-aged man, surrounded by several people...
Among them was a girl in a pink long dress, with a round face. Even amidst chaos, she was as radiant as stars, drawing everyone’s gaze instantly.
She clutched her dress slightly, standing somewhat helplessly in the corner. The tear marks on her face didn’t diminish her clarity; instead, they lent her a fragmented beauty that, upon first sight, caused Zhou Wang’s heart to involuntarily contract.
Yu Duo...
Why is she here?
It hadn’t actually been very long, but Zhou Wang felt as though an era had passed. Ultimately, it’s because Zhou Wang’s life was constantly changing, with too many events and people arriving in succession, leaving little time to reminisce...
Looking again at Xu Wenqian, clearly protecting her, Zhou Wang’s mind slowly floated with a "?".
"Boss, the slightly chubby man standing at the front is the Mr. He they mentioned..."
He didn’t know what was happening or why Xu Wenqian was suddenly with Yu Duo. Only with Lin Ran’s quiet reminder did Zhou Wang suddenly come back to his senses, temporarily putting aside his doubts. His gaze shifted again, landing on the so-called "Mr. He".
Hmm, hands in pockets, standing arrogantly, his outfit had a hint of taste. Although his looks weren’t striking, he remained conspicuous in the crowd, giving off a haughty second-generation vibe at a glance.
