When Zhuo Bufan got out of the car, everyone bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Zhuo."
Yesterday, he had defeated the Ghost King at Wind Spirit Villa. This morning, the news on TV reported that the Ghost King's base had been destroyed. The Ghost King might have been killed, but his body had not been found yet. Those who had seen Zhuo Bufan at Wind Spirit Villa all knew that it must have been Zhuo Bufan who did it.
Moreover, after Zhou Gaisang was injured by the female ghost yesterday, he fell into a coma. Even Dongfang Yi was helpless. In the end, Yan Chun Yi had to call Zhuo Bufan to plead for mercy. Otherwise, Zhou Gaisang would never come to treat Zhou Gaisang because he had offended Zhuo Bufan yesterday.
Zhou Yi's eyes were filled with complicated emotions. There was fear, doubt, surprise, and most of all, regret. She had always thought that Zhuo Bufan was just a child who liked to brag, but she did not expect that Zhuo Bufan was actually a master. Yesterday, not only did he condense a fireball out of thin air, but he also defeated the Ghost King, which completely subverted her outlook on life.
Zhou Yi, who had been living in a honeypot since she was a child, had never suffered such a blow. She did not sleep last night, and her eyes were a little dark. Until now, she still felt that everything was an illusion.
"I came because of Teacher Yan. Lead the way," Zhuo Bufan said lightly with his hands behind his back. He was not even interested in looking at Zhou Yi.
Since Zhou Gaisang was ranked in the top ten of the Hurun Rich List, even the mayor was modest and polite when he saw him. No one dared to talk to the Zhou family in this tone, except for Zhuo Bufan. Zhuo Bufan's strength had shocked all the rich people in Zhongzhou, and many people wanted to have a relationship with him.
Unfortunately, Zhuo Bufan was not interested in the affairs of the secular world, so he directly refused the guests. In the end, those rich people targeted Lian Shijian. After knowing that she was the princess of the Lian family, they all rushed to the Lian family to see her, hoping to have a relationship with Zhuo Bufan.
As expected, Zhou Gaisang had fallen into a coma and was lying on the bed. His skin contained traces of Yin Qi, and his entire body was emitting a chill. If he was not treated in time, Zhuo Bufan predicted that he would not live for more than a week.
"Mr Zhuo, what happened yesterday was all my and Xiao Yi's fault. I hope that you can be magnanimous and save him," Xu Huan pleaded with tears in her eyes.
Yan Chun Yi bit her lip and said gently, "Zhuo Bufan, can you help me this one time?"
"I can treat him and save him, but give me one billion." Zhuo Bufan raised her head and looked at Zhou Yi calmly.
"What, one billion? Why don't you just rob a bank? " Zhou Yi's pupils suddenly widened. She stared at Zhuo Bufan with a trace of pain, fear, and even more anger. Although Zhou Gaisang was the richest man in Zhongzhou with a net worth of eight billion, most of his assets were fixed assets, and he even had a lot of loans from the bank. One billion in one go was almost half of the Zhou family's liquid funds.
Xu Huan was stunned for a moment, then she said hesitantly, "Mr Zhuo, isn't one billion a little too much?"
Zhuo Bufan said calmly, "Ten billion!"
"What, are you crazy? My whole family's assets don't even add up to ten billion. " Zhou Yi finally could not hold it in any longer and said angrily. Qianbin and Master Wu's expressions instantly changed, and they glared at Zhou Yi fiercely. No matter who she was, she could not be disrespectful to Mr Zhuo.
Zhuo Bufan slowly stood up and placed her hands behind her back. She said calmly, "I'm worth ten billion, and no one can save him except me. Also, Miss Zhou, your arrogant attitude makes me very uncomfortable. Perhaps you've been living in an environment where everyone revolves around you since you were young, and you think that the stars and the moon revolve around you. However, in front of me, you're worthless."
Zhou Yi's pretty face turned pale, and her delicate body trembled slightly. Her eyes were misty, and no one had ever spoken to her like this since she was young. However, in the face of Zhuo Bufan's domineering attitude, she realized that she did not even have the courage to resist.
"Zhuo Bufan, I beg you in front of Teacher Yan, can you save my uncle? Xiao Yi is young and insensible, please don't be calculative with her. "Yan Chun Yi stood up and begged. After all, she was the only one here who was more familiar with Zhuo Bufan.
Zhuo Bufan was silent for a moment, then her gaze fell on Zhou Yi. She said, "If you're willing to kneel down and apologize to me, I'll only take one billion."
"You want me to kneel down?" Zhou Yi clenched her fists and looked at Xu Huan with a pained expression.
Xu Huan looked at Zhou Yi, and the expression on her face was conflicted. She sighed and said, "Xiao Yi, after all, you were the one who was rude to Mr Zhuo first. For the sake of your father, you should apologize to Mr Zhuo and admit your mistake."
Zhou Yi finally realized how weak she was. In the face of Zhuo Bufan, who could control lightning and fire, she could not even feel the slightest sense of superiority. In the end, she knelt on the ground and looked up at Zhuo Bufan. With tears streaming down her face, she said, "Mr Zhuo, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been rude to you."
Zhuo Bufan did not look at her, and said indifferently in her heart, "I'm not someone who can't move when I see a beautiful woman. No matter what kind of beautiful woman is in front of me, I will crush all of their arrogance. Only the woman that I've let down is the most important existence in my heart."
Shortly after, Zhuo Bufan extracted the remaining Dark Yin Qi from Lian Buxiang's body and left a Soul-Cleansing Talisman before leaving the Zhou family. As for the one billion, if the Zhou family dared to refuse to give it to him, he did not mind coming back to take it away personally.
After leaving the Zhou family, Zhuo Bufan immediately set off to the Lian family to visit Lian Shijian. Lian Shijian's mother, Zhang Ling, had already been brought to Zhongzhou. The family of three was preparing to enjoy the last moments of family bonding. Lian Bufan's vitality was already exhausted, and Zhuo Bufan could not help him. He probably only had two months left to live.
Zhuo Bufan arranged for Master Wu and Qianbin to stay in Zhongzhou to protect Lian Shijian. At the very least, they could only leave after Lian Shijian had truly taken control of the Lian family.
After everything was settled, Zhuo Bufan gave a call to Ye Xuan and told him that he was going back to his hometown. Only then did he end his trip to Zhongzhou.
On the train from Zhongzhou to Jinling, Zhuo Bufan bought a ticket alone. He sat in the seat next to the window and closed his eyes to rest. The scenery outside the window quickly passed by. He knew that there was one more thing he had to do before he went back. He just wanted to confirm whether the person who wanted to kill him was really him.
In the same carriage, Long Ge Yueh and Ye Ziqin sat together. Both of them withdrew their gazes from Zhuo Bufan. Long Ge Yueh suddenly took out a wooden box from her backpack and slowly opened it. There was a luminous white pearl inside, emitting a faint halo.
The corner of Long Ge Yueh's mouth curved slightly. She muttered to herself, "Zhuo Bufan gave me a luminous pearl. I don't know if it's real or fake. He also told me that he could protect me three times. It must be a lie. Sister Ye Zi, what do you think?"
Ye Ziqin raised her slender eyebrows slightly. She smiled reservedly and said, "Maybe it's real. He also gave me a necklace." As she said that, Ye Ziqin took out the purple lotus jade pendant hanging on her chest. It was swallowing and emitting a faint purple light. There was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
