The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1775: Chapter 729: Summary

”Damn, something’s wrong!”

On an unremarkable normal flight from Beidou to Qin Island, Zhou Wang suddenly woke up, pulled off his eye mask, and cursed out loud.

”What’s wrong?”

Qu Peining, sitting next to him listening to music, took off her headphones in confusion.

”Senior isn’t the type of woman who acts spoiled for no reason. She suddenly asked me to say I love her and even wanted me to send her a message. Something must be wrong...”

Zhou Wang muttered to himself, and Qu Peining, not understanding a single word, just blinked her dark eyes and looked at him in confusion.

”I must have missed something. It can’t be, right? Qingkui couldn’t possibly stab me in the back like this...”

Zhou Wang didn’t explain it to her, he just quickly pulled out his phone to see if he missed any Moments or something, but unfortunately... there was no internet on the plane.

”I hope I’m just overthinking it.”

Zhou Wang could only shake his head helplessly in the end, took an earphone from Qu Peining, and put it in his ear before leaning back again.

”Hmm, ’Seven Miles Fragrance’? What an old song from which era...”

”If you don’t like it, give it back!”

Qu Peining immediately turned cold and tried to take the earphone back.

”Cough, just kidding, I actually really like Jay Chou too.”

...

At twelve thirty in the afternoon, after approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes of flying, the CA1831 flight from Huaxia International Airlines landed punctually at Qin Island Gaoqi International Airport.

As soon as the plane landed, Zhou Wang hurriedly turned off airplane mode and, with a hint of nervousness, opened WhatsApp.

Hmm... hmm?

Everything was peaceful?

Zhou Wang looked around in confusion, it really seemed like no woman had contacted him.

Then he found Jiang Qingkui’s WhatsApp, went into her Moments, and took a look.

Her most recent Moment was posted the night before last, a picture of a table full of dishes with the caption ”Hello 2025”.

A very ordinary Moment, though the meal was with Zhou Wang, she didn’t mention him, nor did he appear in the photo. Underneath, it had likes from Xu Wenqian, Ding Yi, and others.

So this Moment definitely wasn’t the problem.

”Could it be that I really overthought it? With Qingkui’s personality, she wouldn’t bother to block me and post a separate Moment, she wouldn’t bother with such things.”

Zhou Wang mumbled, but after looking left and right, he still couldn’t find anything wrong.

Just as he was about to put his phone away, feeling a bit uneasy, Zhou Wang scrolled down a bit and then opened the chat with Xia Xiwei.

The last time they contacted each other was yesterday, when Xia Xiwei sent him new drama cast photos, and they exchanged New Year greetings.

Zhou Wang thought for a moment and, with a probing mind, typed: ”Isn’t Uncle’s birthday coming up soon? I wanted to ask you about his preferences so I can prepare a Gift for him...”

His message had barely been sent for a minute when Xia Xiwei replied.

”Mr. Zhou, please show some respect, that’s my Uncle, not ’our Uncle’.”

”?”

Zhou Wang was dumbfounded.

”Because I’m not Mr. Zhou’s ’lover’, huh, no wonder the message I sent the night before only got a reply yesterday, I must have disturbed you.”

”What the hell, Xixi, what are you talking about?”

[Message sent but rejected by the recipient]

”...”

Staring at the words ”lover” in bold italics sent by Xia Xiwei, Zhou Wang finally realized something big was wrong.

And very likely, this matter was inextricably linked to Jiang Qingkui.

But he still didn’t know where the problem lay, and now Zhou Wang couldn’t be sure if Xia Xiwei’s attitude was just an isolated case.

Thinking for a bit, Zhou Wang scrolled down again, and a photo of a pretty girl with a bright smile in the sunshine came into view.

If someone unfamiliar saw this avatar, they’d definitely think it’s a web image, but in reality... it’s a selfie of Ding Yi.

Yes, she’s that confident, the kind of girl who uses her own photo as her avatar.

Moreover, her appearance is flawless, putting most so-called edited web images to shame. She doesn’t have that tacky internet celebrity vibe, and like her nickname, ”It’s Ding Yi,” she’s straightforward and bright, making one fall in love at first sight.

In the lost years of Zhou Wang, she once lit up everything like a beam of light.

”Yiyi, I miss you.”

After brewing his thoughts for a long time, Zhou Wang believed that for a girl like Ding Yi, it was best to use emotional tactics to lower her IQ before extracting useful intelligence. So Zhou Wang immediately threw out a big move.

In Zhou Wang’s imagination, Ding Yi might have two reactions: either ”I miss you too,” sweetly, or left on read without a reply. If it were the latter, it would indicate something is very wrong.

The result was Zhou Wang barely sent the message when his phone chimed ”Ding,” and Ding Yi replied almost instantly.

”If she replies so quickly, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Zhou Wang laughed with ease, picked up his phone, and then his expression froze.

[Message sent but rejected by the recipient]

”...”

At least Xia Xiwei gave Zhou Wang some sarcastic jabs, but Ding Yi was more extreme; she blocked him before he could even talk to her.

Zhou Wang finally gave up.

No need to guess; something must have gone wrong on Jiang Qingkui’s side.

Zhou Wang didn’t want to hit a wall with WhatsApp again, so he opened his contact list and directly called Su Yajing.
