The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1280: Chapter 491: Kill Bill_2

At the same time, Guo Wangshan’s assistant exclaimed, ”Mr. Guo, the phone suddenly has no signal, and I can’t make calls!”

”What?”

Guo Wangshan was shocked and quickly took out his phone to check, and sure enough, there was no signal.

”Mine doesn’t either...”

”Mine too!”

Zhou Wang glanced at his phone; indeed, it also showed no signal. Only then did he realize that it wasn’t poor signal from Lin Feng’s side, but rather his phone’s signal was being interfered with.

Zhou Wang looked at Gao Xing beside him, ”What about yours, does it have no signal either?”

Gao Xing glanced down at his phone, then shook his head at Zhou Wang.

Seeing Ding Yi puzzled as to why he was specifically asking Gao Xing, Zhou Wang explained, ”My bodyguard uses the latest technology satellite phone. If his doesn’t have a signal, then it’s impossible for anyone to have a signal...”

”Even satellite phone signals can be blocked?”

Curious Xia Xiwei, who wasn’t too knowledgeable about this, asked.

”Satellite phones use specific frequency bands, like L-band and S-band. If a high-power jammer covers the same frequency band, the signal can be blocked, especially if it’s just a localized block...”

Jiang Qingkui, who was academically brilliant, immediately explained.

At this point, Xiao Wang, who had rushed over, finally found a chance to report:

”Mr. Zhou, all the stairway exits to the lower levels have collapsed, and there’s a fire burning. The traces are very artificial. Preliminary judgment is that suspicious personnel have infiltrated the logistics area on the 55th floor. Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi, who are in charge of the lower levels, are investigating, but the walkie-talkie signals are also weak, making communication difficult...”

Listening to Xiao Wang’s report, Zhou Wang, who was deep in thought, was about to say something when suddenly, a whistling sound echoed throughout the entire banquet hall.

”hvhv, hvhvhv, hvhv, hvhvhv, hvhvhvhvhvhvhv...”

The whistling came from the sound system all around, exuding a leisurely and cheerful tone. Anyone who had seen a certain classic movie could instantly recognize the source of this whistle.

”This sounds like the whistle music from some movie...”

”Kill Bill.”

Xia Xiwei, who was quite fond of watching and studying movies, blurted out immediately.

”Yes, from ’Kill Bill’...”

Zhou Wang, who had also seen the movie, nodded in agreement.

”Movie?”

Guo Wangshan raised an eyebrow, ”What’s this ’Kill Bill’ movie about?”

”Revenge.”

Zhou Wang took a slight breath, ”Although there are many artistic methods, to put it simply, it’s actually a story of revenge...”

”Revenge?”

Guo Wangshan frowned. At that moment, he seemed to have thought of something and then asked Zhou Wang, ”I heard you mentioned the Guo Family in your call earlier, is it...”

Zhou Wang was about to explain to Guo Wangshan that it was another branch of the Guo Family when suddenly, the whistling from the sound system abruptly stopped.

While everyone was a bit startled, the whistling started again, but this time it was not from the speakers, but from a certain direction in the banquet hall.

This whistling seemed to have some sort of magic, causing the originally noisy crowd to quiet down quite a bit. Instinctively, everyone looked in a certain direction. Amid some surprised murmurs, the crowd parted, and the whistle clearly reached the ears of Zhou Wang and the others.

A tall young man in a well-fitted suit came walking over, hands in pockets, whistling that cheerful tune.

His other hand was playing with a metal lighter, making ”click” sounds that seemed to echo a certain rhythm. Young Master Zhang and others recognized the lighter as they had just used it to light their cigarettes a short while ago.

”Isn’t that Brother Dog’s college roommate?”

Cheng Qing was stunned as he looked at the person and asked in a low voice, ”What does this mean...”

”Just watch, since he chose to show up at this time, it can’t just be to whistle...”

Qiu Zeyu murmured.

...

Zhou Wang’s gaze was complicated as he stared at Guo Nansheng walking toward him.

At this moment, the air around him changed significantly.

No longer the silent and melancholic demeanor from when frying chestnuts, he had a certain carefree flair reminiscent of his university days, but with much less bravado, replaced by something indescribable.

”Is this... Guo Nansheng?”

Guo Wangshan obviously recognized him. After all, upon closer consideration, they could be considered distant relatives, so Guo Wangshan was momentarily stunned, but then his expression subtly changed.

While the expressions of the crowd varied, most were bewildered. Guo Nansheng glanced around at them, pausing slightly on their finely dressed attire before finally walking over to Zhou Wang. When Gao Xing had a slight physical reaction, he stopped, standing two meters from Zhou Wang.

”Sorry, Brother Dog, attending your banquet as a guest now, but it seems I am not very courteous...this borrowed suit still doesn’t quite fit right,”

Guo Nansheng tugged at the somewhat tight sleeve and sighed.

”But you knew that regardless of how you showed up, you’re actually welcome at my banquet, aren’t you?”

Having already vaguely guessed something, Zhou Wang sighed as well.

Guo Nansheng stared at Zhou Wang for a few seconds, then smiled, ”We haven’t finished that wine from the other day, do you want to continue?”

”Okay.”

Zhou Wang nodded, then gestured to Xu Wenqian with his eyes. Xu Wenqian, understanding, quickly tidied up the messy table nearby and pulled over two chairs.

As Guo Nansheng was about to sit down, Qiu Zeyu’s mother, Mrs. Lin, couldn’t help but frown and scold:

”I don’t care who you are. Was that explosion your doing? Do you have any idea what you’re doing? This is Huaxia Magic City. Have you considered the consequences later...”

Boom!

Before Mrs. Lin could finish her reprimand, another muffled sound echoed. This time the commotion was much more noticeable than before, not only causing the floor to shake but the ceiling to tremble as well. A chandelier fell, landing at Mrs. Lin’s feet, and she screamed in fright.

While most panicked, only Guo Nansheng sat calmly, signaling Zhou Wang with a raised hand.

Zhou Wang glanced around, seeing that, for the moment at least, no one was injured. After exchanging a glance with Xiao Wang, he also sat down at the table.

Guo Nansheng didn’t look up but seemed to sense Xiao Wang’s quick departure. He picked up a relatively intact bottle of Wuliangye liquor from the floor and said:

”I know your bodyguards are quite skilled, but have them stop wasting their efforts. There are over twenty hydrogen explosives placed between the 54th and 56th floors of this building. Can they find them all in time?”

”Hydrogen explosives?”

From the slightly more serious look in Gao Xing’s eyes, Zhou Wang could judge Guo Nansheng wasn’t lying, but he didn’t say much more. Instead, he sat at the table, taking the glass of liquor Guo Nansheng handed him.

The two of them clinked glasses in silence, draining their drinks in one go. Then Guo Nansheng poured another glass. After doing this three times in a row, he hiccuped and waved his hand:

”I can’t drink anymore; it’s been a while since I last drank, I’ll really get drunk if I continue...”

”Now that the drink is over, how about you tell your story?”

Zhou Wang said softly.

Guo Nansheng glanced at Zhou Wang, then exhaled a breath, ”Brother Dog, do you remember when I told you that not everything in this world can be solved with money?”

”But at least 95% of things are like that. Tell me, what can’t you solve with money?”

”You’ve met my dad, right...”

Guo Nansheng smiled. When Zhou Wang nodded, Guo Nansheng said calmly, ”He’s dead... He drowned himself.”

As Zhou Wang’s eyes twitched, Guo Nansheng continued, ”My mom’s dead too. Just the day after my dad was gone, she jumped off a building.”

Hearing this, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
