Chapter 48 The Night Was Not Peaceful
When Chen Zheng heard Xin Que call out Song Wenxian's name directly, he thought that he and his boss were about to fall into some kind of honey trap again.
But Xin Que acted just like a normal playboy, without any flaws.
Chen Zheng carefully examined Xin Que's demeanor and appearance once again.
This strange man named Chang Qin...
In his understanding of celebrities and nobles, there was no prominent family with the surname Chang.
Chen Zheng immediately became alert.
Song Wangyuan's situation in the Song family is already very dangerous, and he cannot afford to cause any more trouble for his boss.
"Are you wary of me?" Xin Que's wine glass was completely empty, but her expression remained unchanged.
Chen Zheng held his wine glass carefully before speaking, "May I ask where Mr. Chang works?"
Chang Qin was very relaxed and seemed to have no defenses against Chen Zheng.
Chen Zheng was unsure of this person's background.
“Just an unemployed bum who’s living off his savings,” Xin Que waved his hand. “He’s no big shot.”
"What exactly did you do to offend Song Wenxian?" Xin Que asked curiously. "Why are his men torturing you like this? Don't they care that we're at the villa..."
Seeing that Xin Que genuinely didn't recognize him and had no intention of revealing anything, Chen Zheng vaguely brushed it off, "It's nothing. I had some conflict with Young Master Song over work... You've seen his habits; he can't stand seeing people he dislikes in front of him..."
"Never mind," Chen Zheng said with an apologetic smile. "I attended the banquet in place of my boss today without bodyguards, which is how they managed to sneak in."
He handed his business card to Xin Que, saying, "In the end, I've implicated Mr. Chang in this matter. If Young Master Song makes things difficult for you again in the future, you can contact me."
"Although I'm not particularly capable, I have more than enough bodyguards under my command."
Xin Que did not ask any further questions.
This small incident reveals a larger truth: Song Wangyuan's special assistant was so cautious, even trying to win over Xin Que without revealing his true intentions... Song Wangyuan is no ordinary person.
He must be more cunning than that impetuous fool Song Wenxian.
“Okay,” Xin Que put away Chen Zheng’s business card. “I didn’t bring any business cards with me. Can you write down my phone number? Just consider it making friends.”
Chen Zheng nodded, picked up his phone, and under the pretense of noting down the phone number, sent Chang Qin's information to Song Wangyuan.
in case.
As Xin Que pushed open the door to the private room, she noticed a familiar gaze.
Turning around, she met Luo Huayi's gaze in the booth.
Xin Que: "???"
Did the plot somehow magnetize the two of them?
How could I run into this?
Luo Huayi quickly looked away.
"No need to see me off," Xin Que politely declined Chen Zheng's offer to continue seeing her off.
Chen Zheng didn't press the matter further.
But as soon as Xin Que disappeared from his sight, he immediately went back to his room to call his boss.
"I had someone investigate, but they couldn't find anyone named Chang Qin," Song Wangyuan's voice was different from Song Wenxian's gentle and refined tone, "but the Chang family..."
"It's a criminal family that was wiped out in Linhai City a long time ago... However, the Chang family members are either sentenced to death or are still serving sentences or are on the run abroad."
"There's really no way to find out if he's actually a member of the Chang family."
Chen Zheng immediately thought of the skill level of the man named Chang Qin.
“Boss, he might not be a member of the main Chang family,” Chen Zheng frowned in thought, “but… he’s definitely not a righteous person.”
"The way Chang Qin attacked Sang Xing and the bodyguard beside him was not the way a normal person would fight."
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Song Wangyuan spoke again, "Chen Zheng, do you think he's worth investing in?"
......
Xin Que hid in the lush bamboo forest in the backyard of Yu Shui Yun Jian, coldly watching the two men talking on the path outside the bamboo forest.
The bait has been thrown out for Song Wangyuan and Chen Zheng, now...
She had to find a way to create an opportunity for herself to get close to the Song family.
The mulberry trees along the path are opportunities that come knocking on your door.
The bodyguard handed the item to Sang Xing, "The boss doesn't know about our humiliation yet, does he?"
He felt ashamed even talking about it.
In front of everyone at the bar, he was beaten up so badly by a man who didn't seem like a threat.
Although his opponent didn't look tall or muscular, his moves were steady, accurate, and ruthless. Despite his smaller stature, the opponent used a seemingly effortless and powerful attack, leaving him no chance to retaliate.
He felt embarrassed just thinking about the scene of himself flying onto the table.
Sang Xing was furious when she thought about the injuries she had sustained because of that man.
He took the medicine from the bodyguard, gritting his teeth, "It can't be hidden. There were so many people in the bar at the time, this matter has probably spread by now."
The bodyguard's vision went black.
I guess I'm not getting my bonus this month.
"Have someone keep a close eye on that kid," Sang Xing said in a sinister voice. "I'm borrowing someone from the boss... How can we maintain our standing with the boss if we don't teach this guy a lesson?"
The bodyguard was somewhat skeptical. "Can he really do it? This guy has definitely trained, and his fighting style... it's like he's a gangster."
"And will the boss agree to let us bring people to fight?"
Sang Xing smiled and said, "Even two fists can't beat four hands. No matter how powerful he is, he's still just one person."
"The boss has already agreed. This kid is going against the boss by acting on behalf of Song Wangyuan's men... He'd love for us to torment Song Wangyuan's gang to death."
The two quickly walked away.
Xin Que parted the bamboo grove, walked steadily down the path, and glanced at the backyard shrouded in night.
Tomorrow will be another tough battle.
Tsk.
...
Cheng Zheng had already returned to his room, while Luo Huayi sat in the bar for a while, feeling utterly bored.
The booth tables and chairs that Xin Que and Sang Xing had damaged had long been restored to their original state by the quick-witted waiters.
The water bar is now a peaceful and serene place.
The saxophone playing in my ears was slow and melodious, creating a wonderful atmosphere when paired with the clear tequila in my glass.
Luo Huayi put down her wine glass and got up from the booth.
His spirits had long since relaxed since Xin Que left.
Luo Huayi regained her usual calm and composed demeanor and walked steadily toward the elevator.
As long as Xin Que is not around...
His life was perfectly normal.
...
Yeah, right.
The elevator doors opened, revealing Xin Xin's slightly surprised face inside, "Luo..."
Luo Huayi immediately turned around and walked towards the stairs with a blank expression.
Xin Xin "???"
She lifted her skirt, wanting to catch up with Luo Huayi and question him about what she had done to offend him. It was one thing for him to steal her auction item, but to do this to embarrass her after just bumping into him?
Oh right, and there was that gathering in Zhouzichuan before. Why was Luo Huayi so convinced that he was the one who drugged her?
Even though she did indeed commit the act, shouldn't we at least call the police and escalate the situation without listening to her explanation?
Unfortunately, Luo Huayi's long legs were just too fast.
Wearing high heels and a form-fitting dress that restricted her movement, Xin Xin didn't see the path clearly when she reached the stairwell entrance. She stepped on the hem of her dress that she hadn't had time to flung open, slipped, and fell straight toward Luo Huayi.
