The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 352: Chapter 178: The World Where Reason Doesn’t Apply and the People Who Don’t Need Reason (Additional Update)_4

Cheng Zhe’s sister-in-law also cursed and went to pull Cheng Zhe.

His friends and relatives around him all started to make noise too, their eyes filled with hatred when they looked at Cheng Zhe’s family.

If it wasn’t for Cheng Zhe, how would they be here again, offending Cheng Jingtian’s son...

Cheng Zhe also knew things had gotten out of hand. He was forced to step out, having cursed Zhou Wang countless times behind his back, but when he finally saw the ”Mr. Zhou” that Xu Wenqian spoke of with his own eyes, Cheng Zhe chickened out...

He didn’t even dare to look into Zhou Wang’s eyes, just stammering with a flushed face, ”I-I’m sorry, Mr. Zhou. It’s all my fault...”

”Son, what are you just standing there for? Kneel and ask Mr. Zhou for forgiveness, your dad’s job is on the line!”

Liu Fang, anxious to the point of reaching out to pull Cheng Zhe.

Kneel?

A bit flustered, Cheng Zhe’s mind buzzed with reluctance, but he also knew Liu Fang wasn’t exaggerating. His normally strong father was also looking at him with some pleading and hope...

Just as Cheng Zhe was about to bend his knees to kneel, Zhou Wang stepped aside with a cold expression.

”Don’t, I can’t afford such a big gift from you... In modern society, let’s not do this.”

”Go and ask Qianqian, what are you standing there for!”

Cheng Long kicked Cheng Zhe, reminding him.

Cheng Zhe came to his senses, quickly looking at Xu Wenqian. When it came to Xu Wenqian, he didn’t feel awkward at all; among the gasps of the crowd, he plopped to the ground, kneeled, and tried to grab Xu Wenqian.

”Wenxi, I’m sorry... Forgive me, forgive my parents, please... I’m begging you, I really did these stupid things because I love you too much... I shouldn’t have gone to PC, shouldn’t have lied to you, let alone come here to make trouble...”

Facing the crying Cheng Zhe, Xu Wenqian looked full of disgust, hiding behind Zhou Wang, staying silent no matter how Cheng Zhe cried and shouted.

Zhou Wang watched Cheng Zhe’s pitiful state and couldn’t help shaking his head.

Was his little assistant blind before, finding such a disgrace...

”Mr. Zhou, we really know we’re wrong, we’ll return the money right away, no, we’ll even pay more, an extra eight hundred thousand as compensation for Wenxi’s damaged reputation, we shouldn’t have spread rumors...”

While Cheng Zhe cried and shouted, Cheng Long eagerly and hurriedly bowed to Zhou Wang again, pleading for his forgiveness.

Zhou Wang was getting a headache from the noise, but thankfully, at this moment, the police arrived...

Actually, ever since Zhou Wang and others entered the city, the traffic police were alerted, and with the gathering incident happening here, the arrival of the police was reasonable, not due to any specific report.

And when everyone was taken back to the station for questioning, Zhou Wang found it noteworthy that Cheng Qing seemed to know everyone...

...

At six thirty, everyone was taken away and it was not until nine in the evening, as the stars began to appear, that Zhou Wang, Cheng Qing, and Xu Wenqian’s family walked out from the blue and white building.

On the lawn, lined up were luxury cars worth over a hundred million altogether, and Zhang Zhiyuan and others were leaning against the cars, smoking and chatting, waiting for Zhou Wang and the others.

They’d just come for the spectacle, released after some simple questioning, only Zhou Wang and Cheng Qing needed to provide a complete statement as the parties involved.

The final resolution wasn’t complex; after mediation, Cheng Zhe’s family returned the eighty thousand of the house payment to Xu Wenqian, apologized in person, and the neighborhood committee issued a notice in the community, posting the station’s report to restore Wenxi’s damaged reputation.

At the same time, all relatives involved from Cheng Zhe’s family were detained for five to fifteen days on charges of ”picking quarrels and stirring up trouble,” and fined between five hundred to a thousand yuan.

Extortion might not quite fit, but defamation was sufficient, yet whether it reached a criminal level needed further verification, depending on whether Xu Wenqian would subsequently sign a letter of forgiveness.

These were the consequences Cheng Zhe’s family bore on the surface, but Cheng Qing’s suppressive measures were the real blow they couldn’t withstand...

It was foreseeable that they might have to relocate even if they avoided actual imprisonment.

With Cheng Zhe’s parents at their age, after losing their jobs (his mother worked as a cleaner at Fanhua Company), they could only rely on Cheng Zhe alone for support.

Just like the joke Xu Wenqian made with neither sorrow nor joy: ”In the future, he might really only be left with 3,800...”

At the door, Cheng Qing and Zhou Wang signaled to Zhang Zhiyuan and others first, leaving space for Zhou Wang and Xu Wenqian’s family.

”Uh, Mr. Zhou...”

Xu Wenqian’s father, Xu Baosheng, hesitated, seemingly trying to say something.

”Dad, Mom, you guys go home first.”

Xu Wenqian interrupted him in time, her face showing some determination.

”Uncle, Aunt, listen to Qianqian, go back and rest first, after going through so much, you must be tired.”

Zhou Wang, knowing the doubt in his heart, smiled and said, ”I probably won’t leave Yi County tonight. I’ll visit you tomorrow at noon.”

Hearing Zhou Wang wasn’t leaving yet, Xu Baosheng relaxed, smiling and nodding quickly, ”Ah, good, then... her mom and I will go first, you guys handle your own things.”

Knowing that wasn’t his father’s intent, that ”handle your own things” still made Xu Wenqian blush.

Only after her parents walked away, turning back at every step, did Xu Wenqian quickly blurt out to Zhou Wang, ”Boss, you don’t have to personally...”

”Some things need to be clarified, also to set your parents’ minds at ease, right? After all, if nothing unexpected happens, you’re going to be working with me for a long time...”

Zhou Wang winked at Xu Wenqian, directly interrupting her.

As Xu Wenqian stood speechless, blushing shyly, Zhou Wang didn’t say much more, took her hand, and walked towards Zhang Zhiyuan and the others.

”Damn, Brother Dog, I’m really starving, what’s the plan!”

Seeing Zhou Wang and Xu Wenqian approaching, Tang Yiming was the first to shout.

”My chest shrank from hunger, Brother Dog, if you don’t feed me soon, you’ll have to take responsibility~”

One female car owner also whined.

”How to take responsibility, raise you personally?”

Another female car owner boldly said.

”Don’t mess around, don’t you see Brother Dog has company!”

”Then let me ask if they mind having you join them tonight...”

”Go to hell!”

While everyone was joking around, Zhou Wang laughed too, cupped his hands, and said:

”Thank you so much, brothers and sisters, tonight don’t just limit it to a mere Peking duck feast, any activity you can name is on me!”

”Then what are we waiting for, let’s go now, I was the one who was going to bleed money tonight, but it seems now someone else will foot the bill, hahahaha...”

Zhang Zhiyuan laughed heartily.

”Let’s go, we’ll party till we drop!”

Zhou Wang waved his hand, setting the theme for the night.

”Party till we drop!”

Everyone cheered, opening their car doors.
