Chapter 173: Chapter 173 Is this guy even human?_1
He Zheng saw Big Mountain in such a sorry state and lost his cool. His right foot subtly shifted, hitting a red switch on the coffee table.
Zhang Xian noticed He Zheng’s action, but didn’t intend to stop him.
He ca here today to thoroughly quash Fong Chao’s revenge, so naturally, he had to go all the way.
"Boom..."
The door was suddenly kicked open, and henchn carrying weapons poured in.
Seeing all this, He Zheng quickly retreated to one side, a cold smirk spreading across his face. Although Zhang Xian is powerful, she didn’t think he would fare well against so many.
Initially, he had thought of recruiting Zhang Xian. Unfortunately, so people didn’t know when to step up. So he decided to use a high-handed approach. Even if Zhang Xian was tough, he wouldn’t pose a threat to him after he was beaten.
"What are you guys waiting for? Beat him!" Fong Chao barked.
Upon hearing his command, the henchn, wielding their weapons, charged at Zhang Xian.
"Bring it on!" Zhang Xian roared with laughter, seizing a baseball bat, he plunged headlong into the lee.
In an instant, the quiet second floor beca noisier than the bar on the first floor, with a cacophony of thuds and screams echoing non-stop.
"Beat the crap outta this bastard..."
"Damn, you dare to be so arrogant, I bet you’ll not survive today!"
One by one, the henchn fell, and more of them kept charging at Zhang Xian, swinging their weapons with a nacing might.
"Damn, so many of them!" After fighting for a while, Zhang Xian was sowhat taken aback seeing their undying determination. These guys probably thought their sheer numbers could tire him out.
Glancing outside, he saw indeed there were many people standing outside the door. At least twenty that were visible, who knew how many more were hidden.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful you are, you aren’t leaving here today." He Zheng sneered unceasingly.
He wasn’t one for excitent, with his ager influence, he wouldn’t have lasted long in Yantai. Only his caution and being well-prepared for everything, allowed him to live to this day.
Despite not really believing how far Zhang Xian could go, he had summoned all his n upon learning about his strength.
And as it turned out, his caution saved him once again. Zhang Xian indeed wasn’t going to be easy to take down if he hadn’t called everyone today.
Fong Chao watched as Zhang Xian grew more fierce, gulped and whispered to He Zheng, "Bro...Bro Zheng, sothing seems off! Why is Zhang Xian getting more ruthless?"
He Zheng was puzzled, but feigned calm and said, "He is trying his best to hold out. He won’t last long."
Fong Chao found that reasonable. After all, they were more than a hundred n strong, even if Zhang Xian was formidable, he can’t possibly hold them off. They were sure to win this fight.
"Let’s get out..." Seeing the room get overcrowded to the point of people stepping over one another, He Zheng quickly exited following the wall.
Fong Chao followed, as did Big Mountain who charged out to protect He Zheng.
"Trying to escape?" Seeing He Zheng leave, Zhang Xian sent the blockers flying, and quickly pursued them.
He Zheng, seeing Zhang Xian rushing out right after him, stumbled in fear and nearly fell. What the hell? Wasn’t the room packed with n? How did he manage to get out so easily?
Fong Chao was wide-eyed too, backing away continuously.
Zhang Xian’s strength far surpassed his expectations. He was getting a bit scared and couldn’t comprehend why he had provoked this guy.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..." Zhang Xian advanced briskly, his baseball bat swinging so fast it created a blur.
In the corridor, the crowd was being forced to retreat incessantly, with their numbers rapidly diminishing. No one could take a hit from Zhang Xian as he walked past.
"Boom..." Another man fell to the ground.
At that mont, Zhang Xian leapt up, jumped over the crowd, and landed in front of He Zheng. Grasping He Zheng by the collar, he grinned coldly, "So? Do you think you can stop ?"
He Zheng turned pale with terror, breaking out in a sweat. He had never encountered soone as formidable as this. "Bro, I was wrong, please, spare !"
Fong Chao was utterly terrified as well, he fell to his knees, trembling so hard he almost wet his pants.
My God! Who on earth is Zhang Xian? They had over a hundred n yet failed to stop him. He beat them to the point they were crying and pleading for rcy.
"Considering you haven’t done anything stupid yet, I can spare your life. Do you want it?" Zhang Xian let go of the pale-faced He Zheng and said coldly.
He Zheng nodded vigorously, "Bro, whatever you need, you just give
a command. From today onwards, my life is yours. If you tell
to go east, I will never go west."
Zhang Xian nodded, "You know about Zhu Pharmaceuticals, right?"
He Zheng nodded, "I know."
"I suspect that Zhu Pharmaceuticals was frad by Hachi Pharmaceuticals or Dragonfly Pharmaceuticals. If you can uncover any leads, perhaps you can spare your own life." Zhang Xian gave a cold laugh, saying, "Of course, I told you this, and you heard this. Whether you take it to heart, I’m not really sure. I only know that if you don’t produce results, you have to pay the price."
He Zheng shuddered violently, "Bro, rest assured, I guarantee I will do my best and uncover the truth."
Zhang Xian patted He Zheng’s cheek, lit a cigarette, and sauntered off.
He Zheng exhaled deeply and flopped down onto the ground.
A mont ago, he was so scared he nearly wet himself. Not because Zhang Xian was so formidable, but because Zhang Xian’s moves were so slick, he even questioned if Zhang Xian was an alien.
...
After Zhang Xian left the bar, he didn’t head straight back. Instead, he brought a bag of late-night snacks and ended up at Duan Hong’s rented apartnt door.
Duan Hong was still in a state of confusion. Zhang Xian felt he needed to put more effort, show more care, to help her reach a conclusion and get over Tao Jinbao.
"Click....."
The door opened; seeing Zhang Xian, Duan Hong was surprised, "You...why are you here so late, is there...sothing you need?"
Zhang Xian smiled, saying: "I thought you might be in trouble but too shy to call , so I ca over. By the way, I brought so late-night snacks for you."
"Than...thank you..." Duan Hong stepped aside, her cheeks slightly pink.
This guy shows up here in the middle of the night and hasn’t said what he wants. Could it be that he wants... ’that’ with her?
Zhang Xian had no idea about Duan Hong’s thoughts. He scanned the room, then smiling, he said, "Anything you need help with, just let
know. I hope you won’t be shy with . Although I don’t know the specifics of your situation, I have a grudge against Tao Jinbao and you don’t exactly have a good relationship with him. I think our eting is a kind of fate; if I can help, I won’t be stingy."
Duan Hong was taken aback, shaking her head, "Zhang Xian, I’m doing well now, I don’t need help. I even went job hunting today, but, unfortunately, I didn’t find anything."
Zhang Xian smiled, "Actually, Elder Sister Hong, I don’t think you should be looking for a job. After hearing your story with Tao Jinbao, I believe he wouldn’t be where he is today without your support. You were the one who pooled money to start his company. So, I think that company should be yours. If you’re interested, I promise to help you take back the company."
Duan Hong was surprised, "You...you’re going to help
take Tao Jinbao’s company?"
Zhang Xian nodded, "Hmm, if you want to, if you want to run Tao Jinbao’s company, I can help you get it back."
"But I..." Duan Hong didn’t reply directly.
Zhang Xian knew that Duan Hong didn’t want to be too drastic, still holding onto the emotional bond they once had as husband and wife. However, he believed that Duan Hong would eventually go down this path.
Tao Jinbao, that man, was heartless. Even if Duan Hong considers their past, she would eventually be cornered by Tao Jinbao.
Taking over Hachi Pharmaceuticals, he could indirectly help Zhu’s Pharmaceuticals. He believed that a woman as loyal as Duan Hong, Hachi Pharmaceuticals, and Zhu’s Pharmaceuticals would eventually be tied together.
"Zhang Xian, I..." Duan Hong was struggling, not sure whether to accept his offer.
"Elder Sister Hong, I’m just proposing this idea. If you don’t want to, I won’t say anything more. It’s just that I feel bad for you," said Zhang Xian with a laugh. "Get so rest. I’ll leave now."
Seeing Zhang Xian turning to leave, Duan Hong was stunned. He didn’t co here for her body...he ca to check on her?
Suddenly, she felt an urge to run after him and tell him the truth. However, she held back. She still felt that Zhang Xian had an ulterior motive, it couldn’t be that simple.
...
Back at the villa, Zhu Yan and Zhu Qing were still awake.
Upon hearing that Zhang Xian had gone to et Brother Zheng, Liu Xiaowen was also worried.
Now, she already considered Zhang Xian her son-in-law, even though Zhang Xian and Zhu Qing haven’t yet walked down the aisle.
After a while, Zhang Xian returned.
Seeing Zhu Yan, Zhu Qing, and Liu Xiaowen still awake even though it was way past ten o’clock, he puzzledly asked, "Auntie, Qingqing, Yanyan, why aren’t you asleep yet?"
"You scared
to death." Zhu Qing flung herself into Zhang Xian’s arms, asking, "Are you hurt?"
"Ah..." Zhang Xian gave a wry smile, then looked at Zhu Yan, "Yanyan, why did you tell your sister I went to see He Zheng?"
Zhu Yan stuck her tongue out and said, "My sister is your wife, of course I had to tell her!"
"Was there a need to tell?" Zhang Xian glared at Zhu Yan.
It seed this girl liked to talk too much. In the future, he’d avoid telling her anything that should remain private and keep secrets away from her as much as possible.
"Zhang Xian, co here, Auntie wants to talk to you." Suddenly, Liu Xiaowen smiled at Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian nodded, followed Liu Xiaowen to the back balcony, and asked with a smile, "Auntie, what can I do for you?"
Liu Xiaowen, holding Zhang Xian’s hand, smiled, "Actually, it’s nothing major, I just wanted to ask when you planned to marry my Qingqing?"
Zhang Xian was surprised and quickly replied, "Auntie, well, Qingqing and I are still young, isn’t this a bit rushed?"
Liu Xiaowen replied, "What’s the rush! You’re twenty-four, and my Qingqing is twenty-three, how is that young? By your age, many people already have kids."
At her words, Zhang Xian could only smile bitterly. He hadn’t expected Liu Xiaowen to bring him over only to rush him into marrying Zhu Qing. What was this about! The concept of marriage was a long way off for him!
