Chapter 158 Tricking Zhao Hongyan! (1)

26th March, 2023

For the past three days, Zhang Wei has spent rolling in sheets with Yu Lei.

But Yu Lei's initial excitement has now transformed into a desperate plea for mercy, leaving her looking utterly pitiable as Zhang Wei finally departs.

Among these three days, Zhang Wei's only departure from the mansion was to pay a visit to Lin Ruoxi, breaking the chain of their seclusion.

Wu Xue was more skilled than Zhang Wei intially thought, she skillfully was handling negotiations with Tianyi Entertainment. If all falls into place, she confidently asserts that she will seal the deal at a price even lower than the initial 2 billion.

As a token of his appreciation, Zhang Wei has enlisted Wang Liang's help in supplying numerous of contracts to the Lin Group, setting the stage for the company's rapid expansion.

Lin Group, which was earlier battling against Wang Group, is no longer struggling; rather, it's growing faster than ever, although not as fast as someone's headache.

"So much work!... " Wu Xue's eyes threatened to brust with tears, as she let out a comical sigh, the sheer volume of files on her desk overwhelmed her.

Zhang Wei's attempt to express gratitude has inadvertently intensified her workload, adding to her burdens.

Her gaze falls upon an empty chair, and a sigh escapes her lips.

"Once again, he's absent today..."

While she does feel a sense of relief, no longer subjected to his bullying, a subtle pang of loss tugs at her heartstrings.

"Hey Yue, who do you think you like more, your sister or me?" Zhang Wei suddenly asked, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.

"Brother!" Feng Xinyue blurted out without a moment's hesitation.

She swiftly wiped her lips, freeing her head from the intimate position nestled between his legs.

A satisfied grin adorned her face, a clear symbol of the pleasure she had just given him.

For Feng Xinyue, this moment was a rare burst of excitement, a spark of passion that broke through the monotony of her seemingly ordinary life.

Zhang Wei's smile revealed a hint of mischief. Thoughts raced through his mind as he pondered, 'Would that witch dare to attack her very own sister?' He contemplated how he could cunningly employ Feng Xinyue's presence to his advantage, leveraging her against Feng Ruoyan for his own gain.

Today, he was about to meet Song Shoushan. She had been calling him for quite a few days, but Zhang Wei was aware that she wasn't interested in him; rather, she was drawn to Feng Xinyue, the skilled player who broke the leaderboard easily.

Finally, Zhang Wei had made up his mind to pay Song Shoushan a visit, accompanied by Feng Xinyue. Before doing so, he decided to take a short stroll.

About a hundred meters away from Zhao Hongyan's house in the Mansion row, he found a particular empty space.

This area was being frequented by some thugs for their leisure activities.

This group of troublemakers didn't typically create disturbances or disrupt the neighborhood. They had managed to keep the security personnel of the Mansion row at bay by providing bribes in return.

As Zhang Wei parked the car and got out, he observed a group of rough individuals sitting in a corner, engrossed in playing cards.

"Wait here for a moment," Zhang Wei instructed Feng Xinyue, his voice carrying a command that brooked no argument. With that, he emerged from the car.

What followed was a scene of Zhang Wei confronting and giving a light beating to each of them, seemingly without any purpose.

He ensured that the beating wasn't too severe.

Before they could react and retaliate, the sound of *screeching* tires filled the air as Zhang Wei's red Ferrari sped away.

Zhang Wei had been making good use of the cars resting in Lin Ruoxi's garage. This time, he drove to the same downtown game parlour where Song Shoushan had been eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Upon spotting them approaching, Song Shoushan's eyes sparkled with excitement. She hurriedly pulled Feng Xinyue over to the computer beside her.

Zhang Wei's facial expression twitched, but he reminded himself that he could seek revenge later, once he became her stepfather. So, he continued to observe the situation, albeit with growing impatience.

Thankfully, after just two hours of gaming, they decided it was time to head home. However, a predicament arose.

"Um, Zhang Wei, how are we all going to fit in that?" Song Shoushan asked, her face showing a mix of uncertainty and difficulty. The Ferrari, after all, had only two seats.

Zhang Wei gestured towards the subway. "Time to use public transportation."

Song Shoushan's expression shifted to a mix of confusion, amusement, and perhaps a touch of disbelief.

Was he really planning to abandon the car here?

Of course not. Zhang Wei had arranged for someone to drive the car back, ensuring it wouldn't be left behind.

"Zhang Wei, how about you two take the car, and I'll use the metro?" Song Shoushan proposed. She wasn't particularly thrilled with the idea of having both of them follow her around aimlessly, creating unnecessary difficulties for her.

However, Zhang Wei firmly held onto Feng Xinyue's small hand, shaking his head in response. "The number of killings in the city is increasing every day. There's a serial killer on the loose, specifically targeting young girls. If I leave you alone, your mother would have my head later."

Song Shoushan, who had initially been considering rejecting the offer, shivered at the mere mention of a "serial killer" roaming the city.

The horrifying details of the disfigured bodies that had been discovered had sparked the attention of law enforcement agencies.

She no longer resisted Zhang Wei's suggestion as all three of them boarded the metro, heading for the nearest stop to the Mansion Rows.

This stop was just a few hundred meters away from Zhao Hongyan's house.

From there, it was a leisurely stroll on foot to their destination.

Zhang Wei's eyes remained vigilant, constantly scanning the area for any sign of the five individuals that he had needlessly beaten earlier.

Just then, Song Shoushan let out a tired sigh, breaking the silence, "Why are you two always so quiet? Don't you guys engage in normal conversations?"

Feng Xinyue's eyes blinked in response before she straightforwardly replied, "No." Her steps continued to match Zhang Wei's, seemingly oblivious to the surprised expression on Song Shoushan's face.

"Huh?"

Song Shoushan couldn't quite comprehend why this young girl appeared to be so harsh with everyone, except for Zhang Wei. Didn't she know the concept of humility?

Zhang Wei found the interaction between the two of them quite amusing, and he chuckled softly. This finally seemed to frustrate Song Shoushan, and she let out a defiant "Humph."

She quickened her pace, only for her back to become exposed to Zhang Wei's perceptive gaze. A contemplative "Hmm..." escaped his lips.

Despite her youthful appearance, just by observing her movement, he could tell that she was yet to experience the full bloom of womanhood.

Zhang Wei's thoughts drifted to the prospect of taming this rebellious girl and her mother in bed, a future idea that somehow made him more tolerant of her current tantrums.

It wasn't that he hadn't engaged in conversations with her before, but their topics were limited—mostly revolving around her desired university and the upcoming university exams.

They were from different age groups, and there wasn't much natural conversation to be had.

Besides, Zhang Wei wasn't the type to keep blabbering like an overly friendly joker.

Every group seems to have that one person who constantly entertains with non-stop chatter.

However, Zhang Wei had no intention of becoming that person just to win a woman over.

He preferred a quieter persona, and he asked her a seemingly ordinary question, "Have you ever heard about the tragic fate of the Queen Bee?"
