Chapter 248 Jumping off the Building
By four or five o'clock, Chen Zhou had already exhausted all his energy. Zhou Shiran looked at his dazed eyes and put down the cards in his hand. He said, "Let's end this game of cards here. I'll win you in the second half. Forget it between brothers."
Tonight, Chen Zhou did not have a favorable situation at all.
He himself couldn't even calculate how much he had lost.
At this moment, his mind was completely confused and he had no reaction to Zhou Shiran's words.
When Zhou Shiran put down his cards, Tan Yan also said, "Yes, yes, let's stop here for today."
The two of them didn't wait for Chen Zhou's consent and were the first to stand up from the card table.
At this point, the card game was already a mess.
Zhou Shiran and Tan Yan didn't care about Chen Zhou's expression. After leaving the table, they left the box.
There was no movement from the sunken boat sitting there.
After Zhou Shiran and Tan Yan walked outside, the door of the box just closed. Tan Yan wanted to say something, but Zhou Shiran gave him a look. He immediately understood what he was about to say and immediately stopped what he was about to say.
When the two men walked to a secluded place, Zhou Shiran stopped first, and then he looked at Tan Yan.
At this time, Tan Yan spoke up: "Brother Zhou, will Chen Zhou be okay? He lost a lot today and still has a lot of debts."
Zhou Shiran lit a cigarette. When he heard Tan Yan's words, he whispered, "Are you afraid he'll run away with these debts?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yan quickly said, "This debt... We didn't win the money on the gambling table for nothing. We should pay what we owe and cash what we owe. This is not a small amount of money."
Zhou Shiran saw through Tan Yan's inner thoughts and sneered, "You should have millions of dollars in cash in your pocket today, right? Don't be too greedy, or you might end up with too much money but no life to spend it all."
Zhou Shiran reminded him.
Of course, Tan Yan knew that today's gambling game was taking place on the Shen family's territory.
However, he was not panicked at all. He lowered his voice and said, "The Shen family wants to kill him, so why should I be afraid?"
When Tan Yan said this, neither he nor Zhou Shiran noticed that there was a person standing not far behind them.
After hearing what Tan Yan said, Zhou Shiran warned, "Don't talk nonsense here."
Tan Yan had no scruples at all: "If the Shen family hadn't wanted to get him, why would we have asked that woman to get rid of the boat? However, he is really a naive young master. He still treats us as friends and that woman as true love. If it weren't for his status, does he think we would stick around and flatter him? How could he meet that woman?"
Tan Yan smiled wickedly: "He should really thank us and his good family. He was once a good young master, but now he is completely ruined."
The dark shadow standing not far from them quickly and quietly left after hearing these words.
Zhou Shiran, who had been standing there, felt something was wrong. He immediately stopped smoking and subconsciously turned his body back.
Tan Yan noticed his gaze and asked with a bit of surprise: "Brother Zhou, what are you looking at?"
Zhou Shiran asked: "Did you see a figure just now?"
Tan Yan's eyes scanned ahead for a long time before he whispered, "No, Brother Zhou?"
Tan Yan glanced behind him again, but saw no one there. He then said, "You must have seen it wrong."
Zhou Shiran also felt that he had seen it wrong.
After a few seconds of silence, he finally withdrew his gaze, and the two of them stood in the corner and continued smoking.
After the two finished smoking, they turned around and went back to the box together. However, when they arrived at the box, they found that there was no one inside.
Tan Yan asked, "Where is the sinking boat?"
Zhou Shiran was also thinking about this question, and his eyes subconsciously looked towards the room.
"Have they left?" Zhou Shiran asked subconsciously.
Tan Yan also thought so in his heart, and he added: "Maybe so. After all, it's daytime now, he definitely won't stay here for long."
The two were talking like this. They had been through a whole day and night and were exhausted. So when they were about to leave the casino, there was suddenly a commotion outside.
Zhou Shiran and Tan Yan looked at the chaos ahead, both wondering what was happening.
Just as the two were thinking this, suddenly, someone in the crowd standing by the window pointed across and said something.
Tan Yan asked: "Did someone jump off the building?"
Zhou Shiran naturally felt that it was somewhat similar. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Inexplicably, he had a bad premonition in his heart. When that bad premonition arose in his heart, the people in the box behind them, not knowing what they had discovered, rushed out in an emergency.
The feeling of uneasiness became more and more obvious in Zhou Shiran's heart. He looked across again. From his position, he could see a vague figure standing on the opposite building.
When Zhou Shiran saw that figure, a guess flashed through his mind, and he quickly rushed forward.
This time, Tan Yan was the only one left with a confused look on his face. However, when he saw Zhou Shiran running forward, he immediately followed him, shouting as he ran: "Brother Zhou! Brother Zhou! Where are you going?"
Amidst Tan Yan's shouting, Zhou Shiran had already run to the group of people. He looked across through the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him. The moment he saw the figure standing on the rooftop opposite, he frowned and thought to himself, it's Chen Zhou!
At this time, Tan Yan also squeezed in from the crowd. He looked forward and recognized the person opposite him almost immediately.
He panicked and shouted in the crowd: "Brother Zhou! The person on the rooftop opposite looks like Chen Zhou! Chen Zhou!"
Of course Zhou Shiran saw it. When he was about to leave the crowd and rush to the opposite building, the moment he turned around, the figure standing on the roof of the opposite building suddenly jumped down.
Zhou Shiran turned around quickly, and the moment he turned around, the people around him let out a shrill scream.
Zhou Shiran's body trembled, and his body suddenly became extremely stiff.
Tan Yan stared at the opposite side with his eyes wide open, and his whole body seemed to be petrified.
The crowd was already in chaos. Everyone was walking towards the floor-to-ceiling windows, pressing their bodies against the edges of the windows and sticking their heads out to see what was happening downstairs.
And what about Zhou Shiran? He stood there for a long time, then rushed to the French window again. He couldn't see downstairs, so he had no idea what was going on.
Tan Yan came to his side and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Zhou, Shen, Shen Zhou jumped down, what should we do...what should we do?"
Tan Yan was panicking, so how could Zhou Shiran not be panicking?
The person was clearly in the box before, but when they went out to smoke a cigarette, he went to the opposite side and jumped off the building.
He couldn't think of any good way to deal with it for the time being.
He stared downstairs for a long time with a serious face, and then whispered, "Let's go first."
A member of the Shen family died on the Shen family's territory, and this person had played cards with them all night for only ten minutes.
Now that people are dead, they will definitely be tracked down, right?
Tan Yan's heart was beating violently, and his voice trembled: "Then, should we tell the Shen family about this?"
When Zhou Shiran heard this, he remembered something.
He took out his cell phone and wanted to call Xu Jie to tell him about this matter. However, when he just found Xu Jie's number, the crowd was too noisy and there was no way to talk. He quickly rushed out of the crowd, then urgently found a place where he could talk, and hurriedly called Xu Jie.
Xu Jie was in a morning meeting. After seeing the call from Zhou Shiran, he looked at the people in the meeting room. He thought for a few seconds and then hung up the call.
He thought that if there was nothing special happening over there, he would not call again, but who knew that his phone started vibrating again. During the few seconds of vibration, Xu Jie looked towards his boss.
The boss was talking to the shareholders and he didn't dare to disturb them too much, so he held his phone and walked out of the meeting room quietly without disturbing anyone.
As soon as Xu Jie arrived at the conference room door, he answered the phone and asked in a bad tone, "Don't you know I'm busy now?" After saying this, he continued, "What's the matter? Why are you calling so anxiously?"
"Shen Zhou jumped off the building."
When Zhou Shiran said this, Xu Jie was still a little slow to react. After a few seconds, he lowered his voice and asked, "Who did you say jumped off the building?"
"Sunken boat."
"Why would you jump off a building?"
Zhou Shiran had no way to explain, and he remained silent on the other end of the phone.
Xu Jie was on the other end of the phone and heard his heavy breathing on the other end.
Xu Jie hadn't expected such a big thing to happen today. Just a few days ago, he was preparing to send Shen Zhou back to China, and today he jumped to his death. Faced with this huge change, Xu Jie had no idea how to deal with it. He shouted, "Speak! Why would someone jump off a building?"
Zhou Shiran knew that some things could not be concealed: "He has contracted AIDS."
"What?"
Xu Jie thought she had misheard.
He had no idea about this matter. He was about to ask something else, but he stopped when the words reached his lips.
At the moment, it is not the time to ask these questions, but how to deal with the incident of Chen Zhou jumping off the building.
Xu Jie quickly hung up the phone, then turned around and rushed into the meeting room.
Shen Yuehuai was talking to shareholders about some project matters. The moment Xu Jie rushed in from outside the meeting room, he looked at Xu Jie.
“Boss Shen, something happened.”
Xu Jie was rarely so flustered. Just as Shen Yuehuai was looking at Xu Jie and didn't say anything for the time being, the shareholders around him all looked at him after hearing Xu Jie's voice.
Under everyone's gaze, Xu Jie walked straight behind Shen Yuehuai. He bent down and whispered, "Something happened. Shen Zhou jumped off the building in the casino."
Shen Yuehuai had never expected such news to come out suddenly. He frowned and asked, "What did you say?"
Xu Jie knew that this matter sounded absurd, but Xu Jie still said: "Zhou Shiran called me just now and told me."
Shen Yuehuai, who was sitting there, suddenly stood up from his chair and walked towards the door of the conference room.
No one in the conference room had any idea what was going on. As everyone was watching, Xu Jie had no time to stabilize the situation in the conference room. She just followed the footsteps of the person in front of her and walked forward quickly.
Afterwards, they walked out of the company building and drove quickly towards the casino.
Inside the car, Shen Yuehuai looked at Xu Jie and asked, "How could someone jump to their death?"
He questioned Xu Jie.
Xu Jie's heart was actually beating non-stop.
No matter what the relationship is, Chen Zhou is Shen Jixing's only son and the bloodline of the Shen family.
Xu Jie said in a trembling voice, "At the moment, I still don't know what's going on. Zhou Shiran just called me and told me that Chen Zhou has contracted AIDS."
"AIDS?"
Shen Yuehuai's voice was extremely cold.
Facing his question, Xu Jie had to answer again: "Yes, yes."
Shen Yuehuai originally just wanted to test Shen Zhou, but he didn't expect Xu Jie to turn things into what they are now.
His cold eyes fell on Xu Jie's face.
Xu Jie quickly apologized: "Boss Shen, this matter, this matter, I really, really don't know why it turned out like this. At present, I don't know what happened on Shen Zhou's side. Give me something and I will check it out immediately."
He was the one who promoted Xu Jie, so she is considered his confidant.
He had never failed in the tasks assigned to him, but he had never expected that in this case, things would turn out like this.
He was silent for a long time, then he withdrew his gaze from Xu Jie's face. The next second, he looked at the driver and urged, "Drive faster."
…
At this time, a lot of people had already gathered at the casino, including ambulances and patrol cars. When Shen Yuehuai's car arrived, the entrance of the casino was packed with gamblers. After Shen Yuehuai got out of the car, he walked towards the scene.
When he crossed the police cordon, his eyes fell on the body. When he got closer and saw Shen Zhou's face, there was no expression on his face.
The surrounding police were investigating, and a large number of bodyguards from the casino were maintaining order in the chaotic scene.
Soon, a large number of media rushed in.
Of course, Shen Yuehuai couldn't stay here for too long. As more and more media came, he finally left the scene.
After Shen Yuehuai left, the media rushed to take pictures of the scene.
The police, the emergency doctors on the scene, and the casino bodyguards quickly handled the accident scene.
Chen Zhou's body was covered with a white cloth and quickly carried into the ambulance. After that, the police investigated the scene of the accident. In order to maintain the casino's business that day, the casino security personnel quickly sent cleaners to clean up the bloodstains at the accident site.
But no matter how quickly the scene was handled, soon this big news about the Shen family began to make a sensation around the world.
It first caused a sensation abroad, and then the news spread to the country.
After that, the news that Chen Zhou had gambled hundreds of millions in the casino came out, and the Shen family's stock market began to fluctuate violently that day.
