265: The Sinister Yu Hongzhi



"Let me introduce you to someone."

Shen Yuan suddenly walked over with someone who seemed to be their age, around thirty. He looked good, but slightly bland, so he appeared worse among all the handsome men gathered together. The other party wore a pair of glasses, making him seem very gentle.

Shen Yuan deliberately introduced him to them all, so he was definitely not an ordinary person.

"This is Gu Ping, a relative from my grandma's family."

His surname was Gu? Could it be the Gu family?

There were many families with the surname Gu in the Imperial Capital, but only one Gu family could be considered worthy. The Gu family was engaged in biomedicine, but quite differently than how Shenghui Pharmaceutical was. This family’s business was made up of big projects that were all linked to national matters, which meant that the Gu family had the backing of the government.

As soon as Shen Yuan spoke, everyone finally knew the reason why he had suddenly held this party. It had to be related to his grandma and Gu Ping.

Although Gu Ping was a member of the Gu family, he did not hold enough weight in his family to casually mingle with them all. Before everyone could respond, he spoke first. His attitude and tone was relatively easy-going and approachable - he had probably investigated all their identities beforehand. Each of them could be considered famous in their own right. When it was Chu Yifeng's turn, he paused in an obvious manner, then smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Young Master Chu, I’ve long admired your name."
 
With his words, the people around them slowly calmed down. Those who had wanted to find out Chu Yifeng's identity finally learned who he was after hearing his greeting. Some people gave curious expressions; the infamous Chu Yifeng unexpectedly appeared here?

Someone immediately took out their phone and prepared to take a photo. They didn’t dare spread it around, but they could keep it to themselves. If they saw him again in the future, they might be able to introduce themselves to him. However, after taking the photo, they found that the light in their box was a bit dark, and since Chu Yifeng was also sitting in a dark corner, only a faint shadow could be seen in the photo...

Chu Yifeng didn't shake hands with him, but just responded to his greeting. His attitude was very arrogant.

However, Gu Ping didn't seem embarrassed, and naturally retracted his hand while keeping a smile on his face. Shen Yuan also didn't say anything, and just took him to meet other people.

For some reason, Wang Cheng didn't like that person very much; he got the feeling that the other party was putting on an act. He touched his full belly. After a few glasses of wine, he suddenly had to go to the bathroom. They had come over soon after dinner and he hadn’t been to the toilet since.

Chu Yifeng understood when he saw him touch his stomach, and whispered: "Let's go together?"

Wang Cheng thought he wanted to use the bathroom as well and agreed.

As soon as the two stood up, everyone's eyes naturally fell on them. When Wang Cheng informed Zheng Jingen, he seemed to have a trace of helplessness in his eyes, as if asking why they had to go to the toilet together.

Naturally, Wang Cheng didn't see that from his gaze. After the two left, the atmosphere in the box became lively again.

When they arrived at the bathroom, Wang Cheng attempted to open the door, but found that it couldn't be opened. It seemed to be locked from inside.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yifeng walked over.

"Someone locked the door."

There was no sign for cleaning at the door, so it was impossible for the cleaner to be inside. The only possibility was that a person who had entered the bathroom locked the door. At that moment, a burst of angry cursing sounded before something was kicked over, and then the man began cursing again. It seemed as if he was trying to hit someone.

Chu Yifeng took a step back, then raised his foot and kicked the door open with a strong force. The people inside were startled by the loud noise, and the man's cursing stopped abruptly.

"Big brother?" Wang Cheng glanced inward. When he saw the person standing further inside, his eyes instantly became as big as brass bells. The one being scolded was Wang Ning'an, his own big brother. Wang Ning'an had been wearing an expression of disgust, which switched to surprise because of seeing him there.

"Chengcheng, why are you..." Wang Ning'an's noticed Chu Yifeng and wasn’t so surprised anymore. He didn't expect there to be such a coincidence - thanks to them, he didn’t have to get involved in more trouble with the other man.

The man who had been cursing him was a bad middle-aged man with a beer belly and a chubby face. He looked particularly wretched with his lust-crazed eyes. He had thought they were people coming to use the bathroom, but they turned out to be people Wang Ning’an knew. Realizing he couldn’t beat them all, he immediately shouted in a fierce manner: "Who are you, do you know who I am? If you dare to ruin my good thing*, I’ll show you what’s good. If you understand, get out."

[T/N: a gift from a superior force, a blessing]

Wang Cheng walked up and kicked him over.

The bald man screamed. The momentum of his fat body hitting the ground was great, and he laid curled up on the ground, unable to get up at first. Wang Cheng’s continued kicking, showing no mercy. Even when the bald man almost vomited out his internal organs, Wang Cheng didn’t feel satisfied. If he hadn’t come there today, who knew what could’ve happened.

"You want to show me what’s good? Who are you, daring to start things with my elder brother? I’ll take your life before you can even try a thing with him." Wang Cheng stomped on the bald man's hand with a stern expression.

The bald man began to howl in pain, and quickly begged for mercy.

Seeing that Chu Yifeng didn't take the initiative to stop him, Wang Ning’an grabbed Wang Cheng's arm. "There is no need to get your hands dirty for such a person. Let's get out of here."

A group of people who heard the commotion soon came and gathered the doorway. However, their gazes were blocked by Chu Yifeng's tall figure and they weren’t able to see the specific situation inside. A waiter hurried to inform the manager of The Concubine. Most guests of The Concubine were people of status. If something happened to these guests, things would be difficult for The Concubine.

By the time The Concubine's manager rushed over, only the bald man was left in the bathroom. As he was carried out, the bald man kept clamoring that he would show those people what was good for them.

Wang Cheng didn’t care what The Concubine did with this matter. If that bald man did not come to them to settle accounts, he would go show him what was good himself. He dared to try things with his family? He would not be called Wang Cheng unless he knocked him down.

Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng took Wang Ning'an to their box, returning from the bathroom with an extra person. Because of Chu Yifeng, Wang Ning'an received attention.

When Gu Ping saw that Zheng Jingen had an unusual attitude towards this person, he silently placed him on the list of people that he could not afford to offend or flatter. He found a chance to come over, but no information of his identity was revealed to him. Instead, it was Zheng Jingen who said that Wang Ning'an was his friend.

Luo Sheng, Shen Yuan and others knew that Wang Ning’an was Wang Cheng’s eldest brother, and had somehow appeared here. Something must have happened when Wang Cheng had gone out, because Wang Cheng’s mood was a bit off when he came back, as if he was angry. Soon, Shen Yuan knew what happened.

The Concubine’s manager suddenly came, so as the owner of the box, Shen Yuan went out for a while.

After the bald man was beaten by Wang Cheng, he was very unreconciled and threatened to find the person who beat him. In order to soothe the emotions of the guests, the manager of The Concubine agreed to check things out. This investigation revealed that the person who beat him was from Young Master Shen's box.

There was no need to continue pursuing this. The Concubine’s manager thoughtfully told the bald man that he could not afford to offend the person who beat him. If he wanted to continue living, he should go home and see if he could find connections in order to escape the catastrophe. As a result, the bald man didn't believe the manager and said that he was covering up for them.

Since the other party was deliberately looking for death, The Concubine's manager could no longer stop him and brought him over. Wang Cheng didn't even need to come forward, Shen Yuan alone was enough to cause the other party to run away.

Inside, Wang Cheng was also asking Wang Ning'an about this matter.

It turned out that Wang Ning'an had appeared in The Concubine because he had an appointment with a client to discuss business, and his client was that bald man. Yu Hongzhi had handed this matter over to him when they were halfway through discussing things, after giving some excuse.

The bald man was a pervert, one who especially liked men. He had a bad reputation for using business as an excuse to find partners. Yu Hongzhi knew of this, but deliberately let them talk business, and even set up an appointment with the other party for him in advance. Fortunately, after they talked in the bar, the other party’s intentions were self-evident.

Wang Ning'an immediately understood what was going on when he saw the bald man, but did not expect for the man to be so courageous, making a move on him in front of so many people in the box. He later found an excuse to go to the bathroom, but the other man followed. It seemed that he regarded himself as someone gifted to him by Yu Hongzhi. Wang Ning’an believed that tYu Hongzhi must have had a say in this - he had probably hinted this at the bald man.

"Big brother, you can’t tolerate that Yu Hongzhi targeting you anymore. If he can do these kinds of things that are pushing you into the fire pit today, there will be more excessive things in the future. You must teach him a lesson." Wang Cheng had met Yu Hongzhi at his birthday party.

"I also know that, but he is the son of my boss." Wang Ning’an didn't actually put Yu Hongzhi in his eyes. He wasn’t afraid of him, because Yu Hongzhi was just always jumping around, like his sister. They both brushed up on their sense of presence in front of him, but the nature of their actions was different, one was because they liked him, the other was because they hated him.

Wang Cheng patted his chest and promised: "This is not a simple matter, you can leave it to me."

Wang Ning'an smiled and affectionately patted his head, "How come your self-confidence has inflated so much in the few days I hadn’t seen you?"

"If it doesn’t inflate, then others will bully you." Wang Cheng pointed out, "And since there are so many good resources around, I would feel sorry if I didn’t utilize them. In short, you can rest assured when handing this matter to me. I will take care of him and make sure he won’t dare attempt anything towards you again."

"Okay, then your eldest brother will wait and see." Wang Ning'an did not refuse, nor had he ever intended to refuse. It really wasn’t convenient for him to act against Yu Hongzhi. If something happened to Yu Hongzhi, Chairman Yu would most likely suspect him first. However, Wang Cheng was not the same. His intentions were to vent his anger for him, his elder brother. Chairman Yu would be cautious even if he found out, since he himself could be considered a victim.

"By the way, elder brother, I have something else I want to tell you, but it's not suitable to speak about right now. When will you be free?"

"Is it important?"

Wang Cheng nodded firmly, "Very important, it’s very important."

Wang Ning’an thought about it for a moment. "Then you can come find me at my apartment tomorrow, I’m not planning to go to work then." He rarely asked for leave for no reason. When Chairman Yu heard of his leave, he would definitely ask about it, which would provide him a good opportunity.

This gathering existed as a chance for Shen Yuan to help Gu Ping, at the request of the elders in Shen Yuan’s family. Shen Yuan had been against this, and only introduced the people attending the banquet to Gu Ping. At least it wasn’t his responsibility to pair him up with others. He didn’t care whether or not Gu Ping was able to get along with the other guests.

Wang Cheng vaguely guessed Shen Yuan's intentions, so after sitting for a while, proposed to leave. It couldn’t be said that he had enjoyed the night, as he had long lost interest in the gathering.

Shen Yuan didn't convince them to stay either. It was already respectful enough for them to keep their promise and come.

Zheng Jingen and Luo Sheng also left afterwards. However, there was someone who arrived quite late. This person was Jiang Xuan. It wasn't that he didn't want to give Shen Yuan face; when Shen Yuan first invited him, Jiang Xuan had already told him that he was busy with family matters and could only come later.

The people Gu Ping wanted to connect with most were Chu Yifeng and Zheng Jingen, so he couldn’t help but feel regret when he saw that they were both gone. However, after seeing that Shen Yuan had a good attitude towards Jiang Xuan, he thought that Jiang Xuan’s identity was also special. He then deliberately talked to him, thinking of inquiring about his identity. He thought he had concealed his intentions well, and didn't know that Jiang Xuan could see through him at a glance.

Jiang Xuan didn't have much interest in such a person. He quickly told the other party what he wanted to know. Gu Ping soon lost interest in him and changed positions.

Shen Yuan handed him a glass of wine.

Jiang Xuan shook his head, saying that he still had to drive so he couldn't drink.

Shen Yuan didn’t push it.

Jiang Xuan glanced at Gu Ping, who was busy networking with others, and spoke up in a somber manner: "Shen Shao has good intentions."

Shen Yuan understood what he was saying and meaningfully glanced at Gu Ping. He brought the wine glass in his hand to his mouth. Before he took a sip, his lips twitched slightly.

"What the hell……"

Jiang Xuan had not sat for long when he received Yuan Xia's call. Shen Yuan irritably waved his hand at him before he could even speak.

"Okay, okay, I get it, you have to leave. Hurry up, once you’re out of sight this matter will be out of my mind."

Before Jiang Xuan heard him say this, he hadn’t planned to leave. Yuan Xia's phone call wasn’t urging him back. However, he really didn't want to stay in such a place for too long, so he went along with his words and left.

The empty and lonely Shen Yuan decided to go out and hunt for a beauty.
