The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1281: Chapter 492: ”I” Became the Mastermind

When Guo Nansheng finished speaking, Zhou Wang knew that things wouldn’t end well today.

He could persuade anything, but how do you persuade someone whose parents have died...

Of course, there are always those who defy the odds.

Due to the unknown explosive threats, the head of the He Group, He Jinglun, who has held back for a long time, spoke up with a cold laugh:

”Ridiculous, your parents are people, and others aren’t? Retaliating indiscriminately because your parents passed away, what’s the difference between your behavior and that of scum!”

”Doing evil deeds endlessly, you’ll go to Abi Hell after you die, you street punk!”

Another well-dressed middle-aged man angrily scolded.

Zhou Wang was momentarily stunned, as all present were successful individuals, yet there were still such superstitious beliefs... He turned his head and realized it was a representative from New World Development, a true Hong Kong Islander, which made him understand instantly.

”Go to hell?”

Originally calm, Guo Nansheng burst into laughter upon hearing it, as if he’d heard some kind of joke. He slapped the table, and his fingers swept across many figures from Magic City’s business circle including He Jinglun, Guo Wangshan, Zhang Shiling, and others.

”If there is really a hell in this world, you should be the ones going before me... Since that ’car accident’ didn’t kill me, it shows that God is on my side, don’t you agree, Mr. He?”

Zhou Wang noticed that upon hearing Guo Nansheng’s suggestive words, everyone’s expressions, including He Jinglun’s, changed subtly.

This undoubtedly confirmed Zhou Wang’s suspicion.

Obviously, all individuals in a certain tier of Magic City’s circle knew the truth behind the fall of the Jiangnan Guo Family.

Zhou Wang had previously suspected, mainly because when Guo Nansheng appeared, their reactions weren’t much of confusion or incomprehension, rather shock and vigilance.

”Guo Nansheng, there haven’t been major casualties yet, you still have a chance to stop this.”

Besides Zhou Wang, the only one who knew Guo Nansheng was Ding Yi. Perhaps he heard something in Guo Nansheng’s words; he stepped forward with a sincere tone:

”You have a great relationship with Zhou Wang; he will definitely help you. Maybe the consequences aren’t as serious as you think... Besides Zhou Wang, I can convince my parents to help you too. Getting away with it isn’t realistic, but maybe, I can find a way to restore justice for your deceased parents.”

Guo Nansheng stopped laughing at these words, looking at Ding Yi blankly.

Seeing his words had some effect, Ding Yi quickly continued: ”We’ve been classmates for four years, you should trust my character. Since I promised, I’ll definitely do it. The dead can’t come back to life, but at least you still have a chance to get back what belongs to you...”

Guo Nansheng fell silent, just as Ding Yi thought he had swayed him and wanted to seize the moment, suddenly, without much movement from Guo Nansheng, accompanied by a ”boom,” a violent shake spread throughout the banquet hall.

Panic-stricken screams ensued; this time, the shaking was more intense than ever before, and the sound wave of the explosion was close by.

Zhou Wang, being seated, barely stabilized himself. Looking up, many in the banquet hall were already swaying, and surprisingly, the explosion came from a piece of the banquet hall’s floor. Amidst spreading dust, a hole with a diameter of several meters appeared, with someone crying nearby.

Zhou Wang’s heart sank; aside from Guo Wangshan and these people, most of the guests trapped on this floor didn’t dare come near.

There were definitely people in that corner... which also meant there likely were genuine casualties.

Zhou Wang scanned the room, at least his parents and the people around him were gathered nearby, temporarily safe. He sighed a bit.

In the chaos, Zhou Wang heard Gao Xing whisper behind him: ”The lighter... the lighter in his hand is a micro remote control for the bomb.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang quickly asked: ”Is there a way to snatch it or stop him?”

”I can subdue or kill him within 1.5 seconds.”

Gao Xing first nodded, but then shook his head, ”But the risk is that the remote in his hand may not be the only one. If he has accomplices outside...”

Zhou Wang understood.

Guo Nansheng knew he had skilled bodyguards, yet still appeared so brazenly alone in front of him. From the trajectory of the entire event tonight, it’s obviously the result of meticulous planning and long-term scheming.

So the question is, could a man with a destroyed family like Guo Nansheng possibly achieve all this on his own?

Not to mention, regarding strictly controlled explosives in Huaxia, he couldn’t possibly get hold of them... Even with Zhou Wang’s current influence, he doesn’t know where to find such things; probably would need help from foreign big shots, expending effort to succeed.

Moreover, Guo Nansheng, like him, is a liberal arts student, likely clueless in this aspect.

So Gao Xing’s speculation is reasonable, which is probably why he hasn’t acted rashly.

”I need to get some tools, boss, try to stall a bit more.”

Gao Xing whispered.

Zhou Wang didn’t ask what Gao Xing needed the tools for. He just nodded, even if Gao Xing leaves, Xiao Si and Xiao Liu are still in the crowd coordinating things. Given the current situation, his life isn’t under immediate threat.

He couldn’t believe Guo Nansheng appeared in front of everyone without another purpose. Otherwise, he could have just detonated all explosives, pulling everyone down with him, no need to come out and rant.
