After Wang Chengyun ntioned Zhou Wang’s na, the other end of the phone suddenly went silent.
Then, Wang Chengyun heard so strange noises, like chairs being pushed away and sothing falling to the floor. After that, Mr. Li, currently managing the Li Family, said sothing to soone in a rapid tone, and then the other end of the phone fell completely silent.
Wang Chengyun waited a mont, 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 ti that the phone was picked up, and Li Youlong’s voice finally ca through.
"You just said you made a move, right?"
Li Youlong’s voice sounded strange, as if there was sothing suppressed within the deep tone, but Wang Chengyun didn’t have ti 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 dical 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..."
Imdiately, 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 so ti 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 so steam on my incompetent brother, unless it’s a matter of life and limb, don’t stop him..."
"Ah?"
"What do you an ’ah’, did you hear 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 ti, 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 extrely protective Li Youlong?
Listening to his stern tone, anyone unaware would probably think Zhou Wang was his kin... and Li Youjun was more like so 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 today. Otherwise, I, Li Youjun, swear I’ll pay you back tenfold, a hundredfold!"
Li Youjun’s gnashing deanor was sowhat 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 rely replied indifferently, "I’ll be waiting."
He hadn’t anticipated that rely 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 ti, Zhou Wang’s mind harbored so 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?
Forrly, 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 soone might bear him ill will, until they actually acted, he disregarded it.
Avoiding trouble is human nature, especially among the diocre.
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 ti on exploiting glitches to patch things up when incidents occurred...
There weren’t countless [Space-Ti 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 thods 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, rely 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.
