Chapter 438 Counterattack
Mr. Wang stared blankly: "What did you say?!"
Gu Zhou smiled and said, "After all, you have released Zhou Zhenghai, who deliberately hurt her. It's not like you are clinging to her, so I'm sorry I can't let you in."
The guard standing by was furious. He stepped forward and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! How could SL hurt the lady?"
His provocative action instantly aroused the alertness of the two bodyguards.
The two men's muscles bulged, their expressions as fierce as tigers out of a cage, and they pushed forward without hesitation, their solid chests almost hitting the J guard's shoulders, forming an oppressive human wall.
The atmosphere became heated.
Gu Zhou's unique laziness was particularly abrupt in this white-hot situation. His voice was lazy, but it carried a heavy sense of oppression: "Two ways. Either you go on your own, or I have my bodyguards escort you out."
Mr. Wang had never been treated so rudely before.
His chest heaved violently, and his face, which had long been in a superior position and accustomed to being respected, was slightly distorted by extreme anger and disbelief.
"How dare you talk to me like that!"
He stared at Gu Zhou intently, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to pierce through this ignorant young man in front of him.
Gu Zhou's lips curled up casually, but his eyes remained unyielding. "The cause of the accident hasn't been fully investigated yet, so anyone could be a suspect. I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. I hope you can forgive me. If you don't, I can't help it. But if you insist on forcing your way in, I won't hesitate."
There was an obvious threat in his voice.
Mr. Wang’s face turned black.
This wasn't just an obstruction; it was a blatant disregard and challenge to his authority! Throughout his life, how could he have ever been so humiliated in front of a junior?
There was a brief moment of dead silence.
The air was so heavy you could wring water out of it.
Even though anger was boiling inside, this was a public place after all.
He knew better than to create a scandal here.
Old Master Wang suppressed his anger and said, "Good! Very good! It seems that your Gu family's education is not very good, which is why you have raised a disobedient son like you who has no respect for elders!"
Gu Zhou raised his lips, his expression becoming more relaxed, without a trace of anger or embarrassment. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's not as good as the Wang family, who teach people to be well-educated and polite. But, it's just right that they are in charge of me."
Old Master Wang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You! Don't think I don't know what you think of Yuan Ling!"
Gu Zhou sneered: "Since you know how I feel about her, you should understand why I'm protecting her right now, right?"
Mr. Wang was at a loss for words and snapped, "You're such a smooth talker!"
Gu Zhou smiled frankly and said to the man, "Thank you for the compliment. Then, Mr. Wang, take care."
Old Master Wang's face turned from blue to green with anger, looking extremely ugly.
But Gu Zhou had already withdrawn his gaze and was too lazy to even give him a look.
He turned around gracefully, waved his bony hands in the air, and ordered in a leisurely tone, "Okay, close the door, don't disturb her."
Qin Special Assistant stepped forward quickly, his hand nimbly placed on the door handle, and he smiled at Mr. Wang: "Slow down, SL." "Pa."
The ward door was ruthlessly closed.
Old Master Wang was filled with rage and wanted to vent his anger, but he didn't even have a target, so he could only stare at the cold door.
He swung his hands violently, his chest heaving violently, and shouted angrily to the guards: "Let's go!"
Guard J immediately broke away from the standoff with the bodyguards.
The stalemate broke.
The bodyguards stood on both sides of the door with their hands behind their backs as if nothing had happened, like door gods.
Mr. Wang was so angry that he left, and Guard J immediately followed him.
Peace returned to the ward door.
Just one door away.
Special Assistant Qin had just closed the door.
Turn around.
I saw Gu Zhou sitting back beside the bed, his upper body leaning forward slightly.
The uninjured left hand was carefully and tenderly holding Wang Yuanling's hand hanging by his side.
All the careless expressions on his face had long disappeared, replaced by complete concentration and depth. He stared at Wang Yuanling, who was sleeping quietly and well-behaved on the bed, as if she was a fragile treasure.
Special Assistant Qin was slightly stunned.
After following Gu Zhou for so many years, this was the first time he saw Gu Zhou showing such...unconcealed cherishment and affection for someone.
That focused gentleness was almost completely different from the lazy, prickly and unyielding Gu Zhou who was outside the door just now.
So much so that Special Assistant Qin was a little uncomfortable for a while.
He was watching intently and was caught off guard when he saw Gu Zhou suddenly lift his black hair.
At this moment, there was a chilling coldness in his dark eyes, which made Qin Tezhu feel uneasy.
I was just about to explain.
The phone vibrated.
He quickly lowered his head and took out his phone. He saw the reply from the person he sent to investigate. His eyebrows moved, and he immediately looked up to report: "Boss Gu, there is some progress on the car accident."
There was a lingering sense of sternness between Gu Zhou's eyebrows.
-
When Zhou Zhenghai arrived home, he was overjoyed to hear the news that Wang Yuanling had been in a car accident.
"Humph, I should teach this ignorant girl a lesson. How dare she climb over my head!"
Mrs. Zhou was worried: "But if you touched her car, will it be discovered?"
Zhou Zhenghai sneered, confident in his decision. "Don't worry, the people I sent out will delete the surveillance footage once they're done. Besides, we only 'slightly' tampered with her tire screw, causing it to come loose while driving. It was her own bad luck to have to drive on a mountain road in such awful weather! The car was jolted so violently that it crashed into a tree. It was an accident, a natural disaster! Who can be blamed?"
His eyes flashed with calculation. "Besides, I calculated the time perfectly and went to the group first to cause such a scene. I choked her neck in front of so many people and was detained by security... This is my perfect alibi! Who would have thought it was me?"
Zhou Tai was stunned. "So you clearly had someone tamper with her car, and you even went to the group to cause such a scene. Was that to clear yourself of suspicion?"
Zhou Zhenghai was shrewd and calculating. "Of course, even if I go in, SL will definitely get me out. After all, I have a lot of inside information about the Wang family. SL wouldn't dare not protect me. I've calculated everything. Look, SL is going to let me out obediently. Wang Yuanling wouldn't dare disobey SL. What can she do to me? This time, let's teach her a lesson she'll never forget! Let her know that there are some people she can't touch!"
"Ding-ling-ling." Zhou Zhenghai's phone rang, and the number on the screen was his little lover Bai Muyao.
He didn't use any notes.
At this moment, he subconsciously tilted the screen inwards and straightened his voice: "You go to sleep first. The executives will come to me to discuss the next steps."
Mrs. Zhou was still worried about the situation and didn't notice the awkwardness in his expression. She just said, "Then come back early."
Zhou Zhenghai said impatiently: "I know."
He hadn't seen his little lover for a few days and he missed her a little.
I immediately put on my shoes, went downstairs and drove.
It was a rainy day and late at night, so there were fewer cars on the road.
The main roads were in low-lying areas and were blocked, so he could only take the small roads.
I don’t know if the street lights on the path were broken or affected by the heavy rain, but half of them were dark.
The visibility was very dark, and the rain was so heavy that it was impossible to catch up.
This caused his vision to be obstructed and everything in front of him was blurry.
Sudden.
A strong light flashed from the opposite side.
Zhou Zhenghai was blinded by the glare: "What a shameless person! Why are you turning on the headlights?"
Despite the scolding, he still subconsciously moved the car to the right, leaving space on the left for the oncoming car to pass.
However, the van rushed straight towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Zhou Zhenghai was horrified and immediately honked the horn wildly.
He paid no attention to the car and rushed forward with ferocious force.
Zhou Zhenghai immediately realized something was wrong and wanted to turn around, but it was too late.
The glaring light was getting closer and closer, with a fierceness that seemed to devour him.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar.
The front of Zhou Zhenghai's car was instantly severely deformed and dented. The huge impact force threw him hard onto the deployed airbag. He saw stars and felt severe pain all over his body.
The blood flowing from his head hurt his eyes.
He blinked hard, and through his blurred vision, he caught a glimpse of several figures getting out of the van.
One of them was extremely outstanding and slender.
Unlike the others who were walking hurriedly, the other person was holding an umbrella and walking towards them at a leisurely pace.
Zhou Zhenghai squinted his eyes, trying to see the other person's face clearly through the slits.
Although it was blurry, it felt strangely familiar.
Wait for the other party to come closer.
"Bang." The car window on his side was violently opened.
The rain rushed into his face, washing away some of the blood.
He squinted his eyes and tried hard to focus when he met those eyes that looked even more sinister and dark in the dim light of the umbrella.
Terrified, he tried to speak, but his voice was hoarse and strained: "Yes, it's you! What do you want to... do!"
Gu Zhou was holding an umbrella, staring at him with cold eyes as if he was looking at a dead object as he couldn't move.
He raised his head and smiled, which made Zhou Zhenghai feel terrified.
"Twenty minutes and thirty seconds."
Zhou Zhenghai panicked: "W-what?"
Gu Zhou sneered, a terrifying murderous intent emanating from his body: "She was locked in the car for twenty minutes and thirty seconds, so..."
He paused for a moment, a wicked smile on his face. He spoke each word with a sternness that penetrated Zhou Zhenghai's bones. "I want you to experience twice the fear she experienced. Forty minutes and sixty seconds, not a second less."
After saying that, Gu Zhou tilted his head and said in a deep voice, "Someone come here."
The entourage came over immediately.
Zhou Zhenghai didn't know what he was going to do. He was panicked, his throat soaked with blood, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant: "Gu, Gu Zhou, you, you don't do anything rash."
Gu Zhou curled his lips, his smile completely invisible in his eyes, and said in a ghostly voice: "Boss Zhou, your voice is hoarse. Drink some water, and don't hold out for less than forty minutes and sixty seconds."
Accompanying: “Yes!”
They carried a bottle of unknown liquid and poured it directly at Zhou Zhenghai.
"No, no!" Zhou Zhenghai was panicked and refused to drink.
The next second, he was hit hard in the throat, his mouth opened in pain, and a warm, extremely fishy liquid was forced into his mouth.
That's... urine.
His eyes widened and he struggled to drink.
What greeted him was a painful beating. They even poured salt water on his wounds. The pain made Zhou Zhenghai's veins bulge, but he was helpless.
He whimpered in despair.
Gu Zhou, holding an umbrella, looked down at him with a gaze as indifferent as the frozen lake, admiring his suffering.
He was smiling, calm and composed: "Be humorous, don't play him to death. He needs to be awake and aware during these 40 minutes and 60 seconds."
