Chapter 42: To those who have hurt me, I will...
Gao Chi's PA was parked in a villa complex halfway up the mountain. There was a steep uphill road there, which really tested driving skills. As an entry ticket to the luxury car club, it was enough for these racing enthusiasts to show off.
Early in the morning, Gao Chi sent the time and place to Song Yu. Fearing that Song Yu couldn't find it, he also thoughtfully attached the location, with full details.
When Song Yu called Gao Chi back, he mentioned that he would take Zhou Ci with him.
Before Song Yu could finish, Gao Chi shouted, "Why do you have to bring him with you? Can't he live without you? He has to follow you everywhere? Song Yu, you are not his mother, aren't you tired of carrying him around every day? Don't you have any space for yourself? You have to carry him with you wherever you go. If you find a partner in the future and go out on a date with your partner, will he have to follow you?"
"I'm not tired." Song Yu said, "Besides, I'm not his nanny, I'm his sister." Song Yu was a little unhappy, "Anyway, I have to take him with me. We don't know how late we'll play here, and I'm worried about him being home alone. Gao Chi, do you think you can let us go? If he can't go, then I won't come either. We'll make an appointment next time."
"Come, come, come! Auntie, you must come." Gao Chi said hurriedly, "I've already said it, half of the people here today are here for you. Song Yu, you can't let my words become empty boasts, otherwise I'll be too embarrassed."
Song Yu also refused to give in: "Then can my Zhou Ci come?"
"Come on! Buy one get one free. Bring that scheming burden along so we can all have a good meal and have fun." Gao Chi had too much resentment towards Zhou Ci. Even though he had to agree in order to give in to Song Yu, he still showed his extreme disgust towards Zhou Ci and complained about him for whatever reason.
Song Yu then added, "Xia Zhi said she wants to come and play too. Let me tell you something."
"Come on! Is there any need to say more? I will arrange a program for her later and I guarantee she will be satisfied." Gao Chi's reply was very powerful.
"What show? Gao Chi, don't mess around. If Xia Zhi gets drunk, she won't be able to control herself." Song Yu was worried and warned, "Don't ask anyone to force her to drink, or I'll get you into trouble."
"I understand, Miss. You can trust me when I'm doing things. I wouldn't dare offend you, right?"
After hanging up the phone, Song Yu went to the cloakroom to pick out clothes to wear in the evening.
A batch of clothes was delivered this morning, and the aunt put them directly on the floor of the cloakroom without giving her time to tidy them up.
The floor was littered with boxes. Song Yu used his feet to clear a path before sitting on the sofa, holding a tablet and starting to pick out clothes. When he saw something he liked, he would go over and take a look at the box. If he wasn't satisfied, he would put it back in the box and move on to the next one. After picking out several pieces, Song Yu finally found something he was satisfied with.
It is a Catwoman-themed suit, consisting of a tight low-cut denim suspender top and low-waist denim hot pants. The matching necklace, bracelet, and belt are all in the box, and it also comes with a black cat ear headband.
A party at a sports car club is definitely car-related, so you can’t dress too well or it would be inconvenient to move around. A waist-revealing tank top and low-waist shorts are a good combination.
Song Yu had deliberately put on a devilish kitten makeup for this outfit. She already had a strong complexion, and with all that jewelry, her long legs paired with black fishnet stockings, the visual impact was unbearable for most people. So wild! So hot!
Zhou Ci had something urgent to do at school and went out at noon. Song Yu packed himself up and drove to the school to pick him up.
Just as I was about to leave after picking up the car keys, Zhou Ci called me, his voice full of apology: "Sister, I may not be able to go with you. I have some unfinished business here, and the teacher won't let me go."
"Of course school matters are more important. You're not going today, right?"
"I will go, but it will be later. My sister and Xia Zhi will go first. I will feel more at ease with Xia Zhi around."
"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."
After hanging up the phone, Song Yu called Xia Zhi, "Xia Xia, where are you?"
"I'm just messing around at home. Who would go to that kind of place without a battle suit? That bastard Chen Chi is already looking for a new girl. I'll find one tonight and watch my sister stun everyone."
"Is there really no chance for you two to get back together? Xia Xia, aren't you the most capable person? Didn't you say that a strong man is afraid of a clingy girl? It was you who did the wrong thing in the first place. You should be bold enough to rush forward and get Chen Chi back."
Xia Zhi said nonchalantly, "Forget it! The bastard has blocked me, so I won't rush to lick him. The next one will be better."
"Let's talk about it when we meet. I'll pick you up now."
"Huh? Weren't you going to go with your brother? Why did you change your mind?"
Song Yu explained: "Zhou Ci has something to do at school and will be late, so let us go first."
"Okay, then you come pick me up and I won't drive." She sent Song Yu a selfie. "I'm done. How is it? How would you rate it?"
Song Yu praised her enthusiastically, "That's great! Looks like it won't be a problem to find another one tonight."
Xia Zhi was very proud: "I am very satisfied too! No, I am so beautiful today, I can't just show it to those people in the club. I have to leave one of my friends so that we can appreciate my beauty together! I also have to let some people know that I am better off without him."
"Don't forget the short video platform. You can still see it even if you don't follow it. Maybe someone of yours has a small account there." Song Yu gave her the same advice.
“Yes, yes, there are also short video platforms.”
Then, Song Yu saw the nine-square grid posted by Xia Zhi on WeChat Moments, which contained all kinds of sexy emoticons; the short video platform was even more exaggerated, she wore her battle suit today and recorded an extremely enchanting jazz.
Song Yu smiled, Xia Zhi really knew how to make people angry.

After Zhou Ci finished talking to Song Yu on the phone, he turned around and said to the person behind him: "I don't care what method you use, kidnapping or killing is fine, before tomorrow, I want to know what agreement Shen Zhiyan and Zhou Tingan have reached."
The person behind him was wearing glasses and looked embarrassed: "It's really difficult. Shen Zhiyan knows that we are monitoring him, so he has been on guard. Besides, it's the Shen family after all, and he has no shortage of people."
"Did he deal with the people he sent to keep an eye on me? Did he say anything?"
"They have experience as overseas mercenaries, so they keep their mouths shut and are very resistant to beatings. We can't really kill them. After all, we live in a society ruled by law."
Zhou Ci pondered for a moment before continuing, "Assistant Wang, it hasn't been easy for me to get to where I am today. Even if someone is unwilling to give me what I owe them, I will definitely take it back at a higher price. Anyone who has hurt me will be trampled underfoot, ground into the mud, leaving them without the courage to even look up to me. Everything in the Zhou family, everything Zhou Ting'an has, I want it all! Anyone who tries to compete with me is my rival. I never show mercy to my enemies, Assistant Wang, you know me."
"I know, Xiao Ci, I've seen how much you've suffered over the years," Assistant Wang said.
No one could have imagined that Assistant Wang, who had no connection with Zhou Ci and even tried to compete with him in the company, had already been Zhou Ci's man.
"It's not difficult to find out what kind of cooperation Shen Zhiyan and Zhou Tingan have reached." Zhou Ci sneered, "I'll go to Zhou Tingan's house and test it out and find out."
"Xiao Ci, I actually don't think we need to confront the Shen family at this stage. From what I know, Shen Zhiyan is a very difficult person to deal with. "The most important thing right now is to stabilize the internal situation and achieve more results to show the board of directors and get their approval. You are too young, and they have concerns, so they trust your uncle more. After all, your uncle has been running the company for decades and has already established his own network. Only by achieving more results can we break the deadlock. Shareholders only care about profit. They will support whoever can make them money."
Assistant Wang looked at Zhou Ci's expression before continuing, "We haven't stabilized internally yet, and we're already going up against the Shen family. If they join forces with any of your uncles, your path will be even more difficult."
"Assistant Wang, you underestimate my grandfather." Zhou Ci glanced at him. "I actually hope my uncles and aunts will join forces with the Shen family to deal with me." A mocking smile appeared on his lips. "If that's the case, why would I bother? My grandfather will just hand Zhou Corporation over to me."
"Assistant Wang, my grandfather was able to build the Zhou family into a powerful company through more than just luck. If he were a wolf, he wouldn't want his descendants to be sheep. It's okay for the Zhou family to compete for the throne; that's how he chose his heirs. Everyone gets together and relies on their abilities, and whoever has the most ability takes the throne. But if anyone were to resort to unscrupulous means to gain power, and ally with outsiders to deal with their own family, my grandfather would be the first to disapprove."
"My grandfather still has some dreams. He never gave up on the beautiful idea of brothers working together to achieve great things. Even if the family had been fighting like black-eyed chickens for a long time, and the father and son were scheming against each other and wishing each other dead, as long as the matter did not come to his sight, he would not see it."
"Even if he saw it, what could he do? He has his own sons, and it would hurt him if he hits either of them. He's old, and old people are soft-hearted. He has a big handle on me, which is just convenient for me to use."
Zhou Ci suddenly laughed out loud, and he laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward. After he finished laughing, he commented, "That's really funny!"
After listening to him, Assistant Wang had to admit that Zhou Ci was right. Mr. Zhou was indeed such a person.
On the one hand, he raises his children and grandchildren like raising a Gu, letting them fight each other until they are inseparable. Then he chooses the strongest and most powerful among them to be his successor.
On the other hand, I want my family to love each other and live in harmony. I don't allow my children and grandchildren to use excessive means, nor can they find help from outside to deal with their own family.
But how can there be such a good thing in this world?
Zhou Ci saw this point and took advantage of it, so he was able to stand up in such a short time with the help of Old Man Zhou.
Zhou Ci is a ruthless person. He is ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to others. Even though Old Man Zhou is his biological grandfather and treats him very well, caring about his studies and health, doing his best to train him, and giving him money and resources, he has no psychological burden and is ruthless when it comes to taking advantage of others.
"You don't have to worry about the Shen family's affairs. I know Shen Zhiyan quite well. What happened between him and me is a personal grudge. It won't involve the company. He won't, and neither will I." Zhou Ci stood up. "You don't have to worry about my uncles. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to take back Zhou's. Let them do whatever they want." He picked up the phone on the table. "I have my own company and have no interest in Zhou's. I just don't want to let them get away with it, so I've taken it away."
Assistant Wang stood up and asked, "Xiao Ci, are you leaving?"
"Okay, let's go. I have something to do tonight, so I have to hurry to Zhou Ting'an to see what Shen Zhiyan and him are doing." Zhou Ci looked back at him, "One thing this society has taught me is not to give danger a chance to grow, even if it's just a little bit, we have to uproot it as soon as it takes root." This is true for feelings and things.
As soon as he walked out the door, the phone in his hand rang. Zhou Ci took a look, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and picked up the phone.
"I heard that you were curious about the content of my conversation with your father? And for this, you even arrested my people?"
Zhou Ci frowned slightly: "I feel like you are insulting me."
"Really? Which word? Oh, it's 'Dad'!" Shen Zhiyan laughed freely on the phone, "You and your father are really incompatible. I've never seen a father who wishes his own son would die. Your father is the first one I've seen. He's really cruel."
"I suppose we're not close enough to talk about family matters?"
Shen Zhiyan suddenly changed his attitude and became serious, “Then let’s talk about Ru Ru.”
Zhou Ci's frown deepened. "But I don't think we have anything to talk about. Time is on my side."
"Time is indeed on your side." Shen Zhiyan said, "So I gave you a big gift."
Zhou Ci stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"
“Let my people go, and don’t bother asking what I talked about with Zhou Tingan,” Shen Zhiyan said in a serious tone.
"It's not that difficult. It's easy if I really want to know."
"I mean, there's no need, because you'll know after a while." Shen Zhiyan's voice returned to his usual nonchalant tone. "I only have one request, take good care of Ru Ru, don't let her get wronged, and don't let her cry."
"You don't have to tell me. I will take good care of my sister and won't let her suffer at all."
"Then I'll be relieved."
Zhou Ci suddenly understood something, "Are you leaving?"
Shen Zhiyan smiled and asked, "Yes! Are you happy?"
"Of course!" Zhou Ci was very frank, "So don't come back."
"I can't guarantee that. Maybe I missed Ru Ru and came back." Shen Zhiyan hung up the phone with a smile.
Zhou Ci stood there for a while before he picked up his phone and called the driver again: "Let's not go to Zhou Ting'an's place. Pick me up at the exit and we'll go somewhere else."
