Hearing my explanation, the atmosphere became a little strange.
Casually investing a few hundred million for fun?
The young masters present were all considered wealthy families in the Jiangzhe region where rich businessmen gathered. Generally speaking, even large companies with a market value of several billion couldn't come up with a few hundred million in a short period of time.
It wasn't hard to understand. After all, most of the funds were taken out, and the company's account usually didn't have much money. I said it so casually that some people started to doubt me.
"Why do I feel like he's bragging?"
"Yeah, unless it's a big financial group that's worth tens of billions, they can easily take out a few hundred million."
"You guys are ignorant. As far as I know, he won more than two billion from the Zhang family's young master in the dojo challenge competition!
A few hundred million is nothing. "
"It can't be. The Zhang family is one of the top families in the capital. If they really suffered such a big loss, how could they let it go?!"
"I heard that not long ago, the young master of the Zhang family was shot to death in public. Although the gun was in the hands of the police, no one would have the guts to shoot him. Cough, of course, if they know, they know. Anyway, he's still unharmed. I can only say that the Zhang family has suffered losses in silence."
Although their voices were low, I heard every word. As the saying goes, the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener heard it. I almost forgot about the death of the Zhang family's young master. I didn't even find a chance to interrogate the witch Ye Ji. I wanted to ask her later to at least confirm it. Anyway, I caught a trace of dark power at that time, which was enough to prove that it was done by someone from the demonic path.
To put it bluntly, I was just an innocent bystander. Although Chief Wei tried to reduce the negative impact, it happened in public, so he couldn't erase it completely. So, most of the people who knew about it felt that I was ruthless and didn't give the Zhang family any face.
Because of this, the Zhang family didn't say anything. It was as if they were mute. It was really illogical. Even if the Zhang family called me and asked me to apologize, it was also normal.
I suddenly had a thought. Could it be that the explosion of the apartment building was related to the Zhang family?
From the information that Director Du had provided me, the explosion was most likely the work of the Nihon assassin codenamed "Exploding Ghost". Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to kill innocent people. Most likely, he had received a private bounty. Either he had a grudge against me, or he had a grudge against Elder Guan. The former was more likely. As for who hired the "Exploding Ghost", it was worth pondering.
In any case, I felt that with the Blood Demon's temperament, he wouldn't do something so 'unnecessary'. As I grew up, I had offended many people. However, as my reputation grew, there weren't many who had the courage to take revenge.
It could be the Ouyang family from Nan Yun. After all, when I left Nan Yun, I didn't have a way to deal with the Ouyang family. Unlike now … I reckoned that when I returned to Nan Yun, the Ouyang family would be so scared that they would scatter and flee.
In order to avoid this situation, Old Man Ouyang naturally had to take some countermeasures and measures. If it was said that he had paid for an assassin, it would make sense. If Chief Wei and Minister Wu didn't have the latest information, I planned to give Old Man Ouyang a good warning after returning to Nanyun. Perhaps the truth would come to light.
But now, there was another suspect, and that was the Zhang family in Beijing. As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when something abnormal happens. It was because they pretended to be deaf and dumb that I found it strange.
Although attacking me is akin to playing with fire, once it succeeds, it will be extraordinary. I haven't been in Beijing for a long time, but I've provoked a lot of people, especially when I participated in the dojo challenge competition. I've basically offended all of them.
After all, I was a person who made a name for myself in this place that was known as the Holy Land of Martial Arts. I had become a troublemaker. Most of the celebrities and nobles in Beijing were more or less dissatisfied with me.
If anyone was able to stand out and destroy me, that person would be a meritorious person. Even if they didn't end up with a broken arm, it would still be an unparalleled glory. There was no need to even mention their future prestige and status. I was well aware of the stakes involved in this. Because of this, I couldn't easily determine who was playing tricks on me.
Speaking of which, the Zhang family was indeed suspicious. I had ignored them before. I would ask Director Wei to investigate them later. Maybe we would find something new.
"Oh, Xiao Zhuang, it's not that I don't want to leave the Jiangdong Group. In fact, I've been sick of these masters for a long time. A dirty old turtle and a little slut have made the company a mess. There's a saying in the company that if you want to get to the top, you have to sleep with them. Don't care about the two little loaches, you have to be the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Look at their behavior. They are daydreaming all day long about becoming a first-class company. If it weren't for Xiaoqi, the company would have collapsed long ago!"
At this time, Sister Ran said impatiently. The ancients said that men die for wealth, while birds die for food. In the face of benefits, people's hearts were easily tested. Sister Ran had just shown that she was protecting her master, but now she was denouncing him.
"What?"
Everyone looked at Young Master Wang with playful eyes. Young Master Wang's face instantly turned red. He glared at those third-rate female stars. They must be the ones who talked too much!
The atmosphere in the banquet hall became a little weird.
Sister Ran didn't seem to care at all. She then added, "I've tried to persuade Xiaoqi to consider job-hopping before. Other people offered her double or even triple the salary, but she was kind and refused politely. Now, she has you to protect her, and her future life will be very happy. If she has a caring sister like me, Xiaoqi will be even happier. Don't you think so, Xiaoqi?!"
