After sending Wang Zhiyong to the third floor, Zhou Zihao didn't go in with him.
Wang Zhiyong knew that his friend was a clean freak and didn't want to play with women, so he didn't invite him. Zhou Zihao also knew that Wang Zhiyong knew what kind of person he was, so he took out his phone.
They were both smart people, although they had different goals.
Wang Zhiyong just wanted to be a rich kid and get some small favors from his friends. He didn't want wealth, he just wanted to live freely.
But Zhou Zihao was different. He was the second son of the family. To be honest, his relationship with his brother Zhou Wuqiang wasn't good, but his father obviously favored his brother. The Zhou family's influence was in Shangjing, but he came to Wanghai because of this.
Although he always looked calm and collected, in his heart, he yearned for power and recognition more than anyone else. Including setting up this clubhouse with a group of second-generation rich people and officials, it was also a way for him to build connections.
Did Wang Zhiyong really bring Jiang Chen because he wanted to play with women? Was it just a joke to tell him that Jiang Chen had a conflict with his dog? In fact, Wang Zhiyong was very smart. He knew that he wanted to build a relationship with Jiang Chen, so he casually pointed out this point.
"Call Liu Changlong." Zhou Zihao said to Little White as he quietly waited for the phone to connect.
"Hello? Brother Hao, what's up? "Liu Changlong's fawning voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Did you offend someone called Jiang Chen?" Zhou Zihao said slowly.
Liu Changlong's heart skipped a beat as he cursed in his mind. Although he didn't know why his backer asked this, the tone didn't sound friendly.
"No, no, it's just that one of my underlings offended him before. I already kicked him out, it has nothing to do with me."
Hearing this, Zhou Zihao didn't look like he was going to let it go. His face didn't have the calmness he showed when he was talking to Wang Zhiyong and Jiang Chen.
"Hehe, everyone knows you are ready to make a move, but you are quite smart to back off."
To put it bluntly, someone like Liu Changlong was just a dog raised by the higher-ups.
When Liu Changlong heard this, he began to sweat profusely as he tried to guess his master's meaning.
Was he hoping that he would make a move, or was he praising him for being smart enough to not make a move?
"Let's put it this way: I want to know this man. Can you think of a way for me? " Zhou Zihao smiled, but his tone was inexplicably cold. "Someone has to be stabbed, right?"
These words scared Liu Changlong half to death. He finally understood that his master was going to sell him out as a favor.
"Boss, Brother Hao, I, I —"
"Cut the crap. I've given you a chance. You have half a minute to think about who can take the blame. "Zhou Zihao laughed.
Liu Changlong's hand, which was holding the phone, couldn't help but tremble. The subordinates on the side looked at their boss's embarrassed appearance in surprise. They didn't understand why their boss, who was usually in a good mood, was scared like a dog.
That's right, like a dog.
Liu Changlong secretly complained. He hadn't even made a move yet. If Jiang Chen didn't know he was going to make a move, it would be fine. But somehow, Jiang Chen found out.
This was practically forcing him to take the blame for a favor.
What to do? Did he want Liu Anshan to be the scapegoat?
Liu Changlong's eyes flashed with cruelty. Although Jiang Chen was his brother, he didn't care about family anymore.
But just as he was about to choose Liu Anshan, another name suddenly flashed into his head.
Fang Yuanyuan.
He remembered his son confidently bringing a group of subordinates to blackmail Jiang Chen. He said he heard from a prostitute that Jiang Chen was a rich man with no background. Fortunately, his son asked him before he made his move, and he stopped him in time. If they really did make a move, there would be no room for negotiation.
Although his initial plan to make a move on Jiang Chen had nothing to do with Fang Yuanyuan, Fang Yuanyuan's phone call to his son could be blamed on that woman.
"Have you thought about it?"
"Yes, I have! Brother Hao, there is a woman, it's like this … "Liu Changlong held the phone in his hand and told him everything about Fang Yuanyuan.
His former crush, now a prostitute, encouraged the triad to make a move on him.
Zhou Zihao captured the three keywords and thought about it.
He only needed a favor as a stepping stone. Jiang Chen could be the key to taking down his brother. Based on what Liu Changlong said, this woman seemed to fit the criteria.
Also, when he heard it was a woman, he suddenly had another idea.
"Then bring the person here. You should know who I am talking about." Zhou Zihao's smile was a bit creepy.
"Yes, yes!" Liu Changlong held the phone, his back already soaked in sweat.
After he hung up, Liu Changlong glanced at the subordinates standing on the side.
The subordinates all kept quiet and didn't dare to look at their boss's eyes.
"Diao Zi, go kidnap the person. I'll give you one hour." Liu Changlong said emotionlessly as he returned to his usual stern demeanor, as if his change from arrogance to humility never happened.
"Yes." Diao Zi nodded and quickly left the door.
Liu Changlong leaned back in his chair as he rubbed his tired eyebrows, a bitter smile on his face.
…
Jiang Chen comfortably walked out of the room, stretched his neck, and felt his exhaustion was washed away.
It was already half past five. The waitress was already waiting at the door and led him to the restaurant.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Wang Zhiyong and Zhou Zihao were already waiting there.
"Oh, did you have fun?" Wang Zhiyong raised his eyebrows at Jiang Chen.
"It was alright, I seemed to have fallen asleep in the second half." Jiang Chen smiled and pulled out a chair to sit down.
"That's a shame. The correct way to enjoy is to close your eyes and relax your body-" Zhou Zihao was still squinting his eyes as he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Okay, don't talk about your health theory. Waitress, bring the food and wine," Wang Zhiyong said.
"Do you think this is a restaurant?" Zhou Zihao said helplessly as he waved at the waitress on the side to signal for the dishes to be brought up.
The dazzling dishes were brought to the table. The beautiful waitress leaned over and poured a glass of red wine for each of the three.
"Red wine has the effect of improving blood circulation. It's a good thing. Is Brother Jiang used to it?" Zhou Zihao raised his glass with a smile.
Judging from the pure color of the wine, it must be an expensive wine. But Zhou Zihao didn't emphasize which year or brand it was. It was clear to see how cultured he was, or how shrewd he was.
"Not bad, but I don't drink much." Jiang Chen smiled and clinked his glass with him.
"This Zihao likes to play these fancy games. Who would put such sour red wine on the table?" Wang Zhiyong cursed, but his hand didn't stop holding the glass.
After three rounds of wine and five different dishes, the three began to chat. The three of them chatted with each other. Surprisingly, Wang Zhiyong spoke very little, while Zhou Zihao spoke a lot.
Jiang Chen felt that Zhou Zihao seemed to want to be friends with him. His attitude made him uncertain. Logically speaking, his artificial intelligence almost touched the cake of the Zhou family. In other words, Zhou Zihao wasn't well-liked at home? So he wanted to be friends with him?
But Jiang Chen didn't reject Zhou Zihao's goodwill. After a few glasses of wine, the two began to call each other brothers.
"Hehe, Brother Jiang, let me toast you again. This cup is my punishment for not being able to restrain my subordinates and causing trouble for you." Suddenly, Zhou Zihao abruptly stood up and raised his glass with a smile. He then drank all the red wine in the glass.
Drinking red wine in this way was a bit of a waste of God's gift.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen also quickly stood up with a bitter smile.
"Brother Zhou, why are you doing this? I didn't take it to heart at all. Plus, he didn't really do anything. "
Zhou Zihao waved his hand and signaled to the waitress on the side. The waiter nodded respectfully and quickly walked away.
Not long after, the door opened.
Jiang Chen saw a strange man walk in.
The man had a crew cut and his face looked resolute, but there was a hint of fear in his expression. Based on his age, he should be ten years older than Zhou Zihao.
Jiang Chen's eyes moved slightly as he roughly guessed the identity of the man in his thirties.
Liu Changlong, the boss of the Hongyi Gang, the man who had been plotting against him.
Wang Zhiyong held a glass of wine and watched with a gloating expression. Zhou Zihao didn't look at Liu Changlong as he only looked at Jiang Chen with a smile. Jiang Chen looked at Liu Changlong and then cast a questioning look at Zhou Zihao.
"Ahem." Zhou Zihao gently coughed.
With a thud, Liu Changlong, the 1.8 meter tall man, kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Chen.
"I, Liu Changlong, have eyes but failed to see. I listened to the instigation of a villain and attempted to kidnap your parents. I hope Big Brother Chen will forgive me and let me go like a fart. "
Jiang Chen was shocked. He didn't expect Liu Changlong to be planning to kidnap his parents outside the province. He also didn't expect Zhou Zihao to force him to apologize before he even made a move.
Wang Zhiyong looked at Liu Changlong who was kowtowing on the ground. His expression seemed to have expected this.
Zhou Zihao still didn't look at Liu Changlong. Instead, he looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Is Brother Jiang satisfied with this result?"
Jiang Chen's Adam's apple moved, and he forced a smile.
"Very satisfied."
He didn't know what to say. Although he also disliked the scum of society, he was also angry that Liu Changlong wanted to threaten him through his parents. But after all, Liu Changlong backed off.
Zhou Zihao was a ruthless character. No one with squinted eyes was easy to deal with. Regardless, he owed Zhou Zihao a favor.
Jiang Chen thought in his mind, but his face remained expressionless.
Zhou Zihao saw that Jiang Chen agreed and waved his hand.
The beautiful waitress on the side walked over with a bottle of liquor that was about 1.5 liters and then placed it in front of Liu Changlong with a smile.
"You know what to do." Zhou Zihao tilted his head and said slowly.
A drop of cold sweat rolled down Liu Changlong's forehead, but when he thought of Zhou Zihao's methods, he made up his mind. He picked up the bottle of wine, opened the lid with his teeth, and chugged it down.
This was a bottle of wine, and the alcohol content should be quite high!
Jiang Chen watched from the side and was also secretly shocked.
Zhou Zihao looked on coldly, and Wang Zhiyong still had the same intrigued expression on his face.
Liu Changlong finished the bottle of wine in his hand in one gulp. Then, he immediately fell to the ground unconscious. The waiter on the side looked at Zhou Zihao. Seeing that he nodded, he went forward to pick up the unconscious Liu Changlong and brought him out of the door.
He was probably going to be sent to the hospital. Liu Changlong was quite hardworking.
Jiang Chen was speechless, but he didn't have any sympathy. He was just more shocked by Zhou Zihao's methods.
This person was ruthless!
"Zihao, why do you put anyone in your pocket? Aren't you afraid of dirtying your hands?" Wang Zhiyong jokingly scolded.
"Ahem, even a rat has its value." Zhou Zihao said with a smile, then turned to look at Jiang Chen. "I hope Brother Jiang doesn't mind. I cherish the friendship between us. If this rat dares to dirty your shoes again, I will throw him into the Huangpu River to feed the fish. "
"There's no need to feed the fish, but Brother Zhou is a great friend. It's my honor to be friends with you." Jiang Chen smiled.
Fortunately, they were not enemies.
"Why don't we just stay here for the night instead of going back tonight? Zihao even prepared a fun show for you, hehe. "Wang Zhiyong suddenly interrupted with a grin.
"Ahem, Brother Yong, it's not good to spoil the show." Zhou Zihao coughed.
"What kind of show is it?" Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly.
"Trust me, you will love it." Zhou Zihao smiled mysteriously and said, "Would Brother Jiang be willing to give me this opportunity?"
It would be too disrespectful to reject him.
Jiang Chen only hesitated for a moment before he quickly said with a smile.
"Then I'll accept."
It's not like I'll lose anything if I agree. What is integrity?
…
After dinner, it was still the same smiling waitress. Jiang Chen followed her to the third floor and entered a secluded room.
"The soundproofing here is excellent. Please enjoy." The waitress smiled ambiguously and left the room.
Jiang Chen awkwardly touched his nose and stood at the entrance for a while before he walked into the room.
[Looks like I won't be back tonight.]
With that in mind, Jiang Chen pushed open the unique door, but when he entered the door, he saw someone he didn't expect.
"It's you?"
Jiang Chen's expression was indescribably strange.
