The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1410: Chapter 550: The Phone Call

After Wang Chengyun mentioned Zhou Wang’s name, the other end of the phone suddenly went silent.

Then, Wang Chengyun heard some strange noises, like chairs being pushed away and something falling to the floor. After that, Mr. Li, currently managing the Li Family, said something to someone in a rapid tone, and then the other end of the phone fell completely silent.

Wang Chengyun waited a moment, unable to hold back, and tentatively asked, ”Hello, President Li, are you still there... President Li...”

It wasn’t until Wang Chengyun called out a third time that the phone was picked up, and Li Youlong’s voice finally came through.

”You just said you made a move, right?”

Li Youlong’s voice sounded strange, as if there was something suppressed within the deep tone, but Wang Chengyun didn’t have time to think about it and quickly replied:

”Yes...”

”Then, is anyone hurt?”

Li Youlong continued to ask.

”Mr. Li was just pushed down by the head, it shouldn’t be a big deal, but I’ll have the medical team on board...”

”I’m not asking about Li Youjun, I’m asking about Zhou Wang... is Zhou Wang okay?”

”Zhou Wang?”

Interrupted by Li Youlong’s loud voice, Wang Chengyun was once again dumbfounded.

No, Mr. Li is your own brother, why are you asking about Zhou Wang?

Despite this, Wang Chengyun instinctively replied, ”He’s fine... uh, it was his bodyguard who made the move, quite skilled, our people couldn’t even touch his sleeve...”

Immediately, Wang Chengyun heard Li Youlong exhale a long breath over the phone.

”That’s good.”

As Wang Chengyun clearly felt his mind was stretched to its limit, Li Youlong issued serious instructions again.

”Mr. Wang, listen up, I need some time to discuss with Mr. Huo and them... Before there’s a result, you must ensure Mr. Zhou’s safety, and also, if Mr. Zhou needs to let off some steam on my incompetent brother, unless it’s a matter of life and limb, don’t stop him...”

”Ah?”

”What do you mean ’ah’, did you hear me clearly?”

Wang Chengyun was unsure if he had heard correctly, doubting if he misunderstood.

Out of caution, he asked Li Youlong to repeat it once more.

This time, Wang Chengyun was finally certain he didn’t hear wrong.

...Damn, he suspected he dialed the wrong number!

The person on the other end, was he really the supposedly extremely protective Li Youlong?

Listening to his stern tone, anyone unaware would probably think Zhou Wang was his kin... and Li Youjun was more like some idiot passerby.

...

When the dazed Wang Chengyun quietly slipped back to the scene, the situation had changed a bit.

Following a report from a trusted subordinate, Wang Chengyun finally learned what was going on.

It turned out Li Youjun, although once again had his head pressed down, was still a young man. Though he dare not mock Zhou Wang anymore, he stubbornly refused to comply with Zhou Wang’s demand for an apology, and both sides were thus locked in a stalemate.

And perhaps worried the situation might spiral out of control, Mu Li discreetly negotiated softly with Zhou Wang.

In the end, Zhou Wang relented a bit to Mu Li and released Li Youjun.

When Wang Chengyun returned, he happened to hear Li Youjun start issuing threats again.

”Zhou Wang, if you dare, kill me today. Otherwise, I, Li Youjun, swear I’ll pay you back tenfold, a hundredfold!”

Li Youjun’s gnashing demeanor was somewhat pitiful, yet none of the guests present doubted the truth of his words.

Considering the Li Family’s solid strength, few could withstand its total retaliation.

But Zhou Wang merely replied indifferently, ”I’ll be waiting.”

He hadn’t anticipated that merely taking a stroll would lead to acquiring another ”enemy.”

However, Zhou Wang wasn’t overly concerned; from Beidou to Magic City, he had antagonized quite a few people along the way, already quite used to it.

But this time, Zhou Wang’s mind harbored some different thoughts.

Even though he possessed confidence granted by the system, he wasn’t afraid of anyone, yet... always being passive like this, is it too reactive?

Formerly, Zhou Wang’s thoughts never transitioned, remaining at the stage of ”passive defense.”

Generally, if people didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t provoke them, even if he sensed someone might bear him ill will, until they actually acted, he disregarded it.

Avoiding trouble is human nature, especially among the mediocre.

But should he continue this way?

Although Magic City’s ”great fire” didn’t truly ignite, Zhou Wang reflected a lot afterward.

He often wondered, if his edge could be sharper, curbing threats early in the cradle, would everything be different?

He couldn’t rely every time on exploiting glitches to patch things up when incidents occurred...

There weren’t countless [Space-Time Eggs] triggering at his disposal; cheats weren’t always effective when needed. He had to learn a different approach to handling these issues.

Just like now, he had already unconsciously begun considering which methods he could employ to preemptively suppress Li Youjun and even the Li Family behind him...

Li Youjun wanted to say more, but wary of Xiao Wang constantly watching him, he remained silent, merely huffing coldly before turning to leave.

Seeing the situation temporarily calm, Huo Chengrui, who had been on edge for a while, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
