Zhou Kailun ran barefoot across the cold ground, and he couldn't stand the cold any longer!
When she ran to the car, she was wearing the driver's shirt on her upper body, but her lower body was completely naked, including her feet.
Enraged, Zhou Kailun reached for the Mercedes-Benz door handle and yanked it open, but as the door opened, it slid off in one piece! The falling door struck Zhou Kailun's outstretched right toe, causing him to cry out in pain as blood streamed down his big toe!
Zhou Kailun didn't care about anything else. He crouched down and crawled into the car, then sat down and clutched his foot, crying out in pain!
This situation was both surprising and hilarious; even the driver was stunned!
Could it be that Zhou Kailun's strength suddenly increased when he was angry? He even pulled the car door off in one go. It seems impossible, but the fact is that it happened right in front of me!
Ran Kailun cried out in pain while shouting, "Damn it, why aren't you driving yet?"
The driver then realized what was happening, and without even bothering to get out of the car, he rushed to the front to get in. He turned the key, started the car, and shifted gears. As the car slowly began to move, an even more surprising and hilarious scene unfolded!
The Mercedes' rear wheel tumbled off the car and rolled to the side, then lay over on the roadside.
The Mercedes-Benz veered to one side, and because it was the rear wheel on the side where Zhou Kailun had gotten in, he almost rolled out of the car. There were no doors. He was caught in the doorway, looking extremely disheveled.
The car can't be driven anymore, for no apparent reason.
Zhou Kailun was furious. Sitting in the car, he shouted, "Why aren't you calling a car yet?"
Zhou Xuan, who was not far away, said indifferently, "Let's drive. There's nothing to see here. People like Zhou Kailun should be taught a lesson. He's so arrogant and ignorant!"
Li Wei quickly waved his hand, and the driver immediately started the car. Wei Haihong said, "Let's go to my place first. The two old men have already gone over and still have something to say to my brother."
As the car moved, Li Wei glanced at Zhou Kailun's embarrassed expression in the rearview mirror and suddenly realized something. He'd witnessed several instances of flat tires recently: the first was Wu Jianguo's car, the second was Shangguan Mingyue's car, and the third was Zhou Kailun's car now!
Every time this happened, Li Wei thought of one question: Zhou Xuan was always present. Could this be related to Zhou Xuan?
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't make this connection, but Li Wei immediately thought of Zhou Xuan because Zhou Xuan had performed so many amazing magic tricks for him. While the tire incident was strange, Zhou Xuan was the most likely suspect!
Of course, in all three incidents, Li Wei clearly saw that Zhou Xuan never got out of his car, kept a distance from the other car, and didn't even touch it. Logically speaking, that was completely impossible. But now, in Li Wei's view, Zhou Xuan's strange behavior... wasn't impossible after all!
Because there was another person in the car, an outsider—the driver—Li Wei didn't ask Zhou Xuan anything. He just kept his mind to himself.
The driver drove to the place designated by Wei Haihong, waited for them to get out of the car, bowed, and then drove away without saying a word.
This was already at the entrance of Wei Haihong's residential area. The security guard, of course, recognized Wei Haihong and quickly came out from his guard post to greet him.
At the villa's main gate, the old man's guards were already waiting. As soon as the group arrived, they quickly came forward to greet them.
The two old men were sitting in the living room drinking tea when Zhou Xuan and his group arrived. They beckoned for them to sit down and talk.
"Sir, the matter should be resolved. When we left, the business administration officials had already contacted Zhou Daxing's shop. Thank you for your help, sir!"
Zhou Xuan didn't thank Wei Haihong. He felt it would be too formal to say thank you; it was more respectful to the old man.
The old man waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. To be honest, you gave me my life, so it's only right that I help you. But it's too meaningless to do it like a transaction. I think we shouldn't have that kind of relationship with Xiao Zhou. Besides, I believe Xiao Zhou is an upright and honest person, so our relationship should be like that of a family!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Alright, old man, then I won't say anything more!"
"If you don't tell me, I have something to ask you!" Li Wei pulled Zhou Xuan's hand and whispered, "Come with me to the next room, I have something private to tell you!"
Volume 1, Chapter 234: I Don't Want to Grow Up
"Don't be sneaky. Ignore him!" Old Li said to Zhou Xiao, adding a few words to Li Weichuan.
Zhou Xuan didn't know what Li Wei's intentions were, but judging from his mysterious appearance, he guessed it was related to the magic tricks he had performed. However, he never expected that Li Wei would actually figure out that the tire incidents were related to him.
The old man used to never stay at Wei Haihong's place for long. But ever since Zhou Xuan cured his terminal cancer here, and he often meets and chats with Zhou Xuan, he now considers Wei Haihong's place his permanent residence, while he rarely goes to his eldest and second sons' homes.
Zhou Xuan naturally went along with it. Since they were already in the living room, Li Wei couldn't very well drag Zhou Xuan to the next room to press him for answers.
Wei Haihong first instructed Wang Ji to prepare some light dishes to accommodate the two old men.
Old Li didn't say much. Since Zhou Xuan cured his illness, he'd been spending more time at Wei Haihong's place than at his own home, except when he went home to sleep at night. His son, Li Lei, had gotten used to it. They'd send a car to take him there in the morning and pick him up in the evening. Old Li also had a dedicated guard, receiving the same treatment as his father. Nothing bad was likely to happen.
For most people, Zhou Xuan's company's affairs are a big deal, even a matter of life and death. But for people like the old man and Wei Haihong, these are minor matters. They don't even need to be spoken of. A simple signal is enough for someone to take care of them. Not to mention that the old man personally made a phone call to instruct others to handle the matter.
From this perspective, Zhou Xuan understood. Zhou Daxing's days were probably numbered. The reason, of course, was his defeat at the hands of Zhou Kailun. So, it's always better to keep a low profile. Making money is good, but only earn what you should rightfully earn. Don't try to make money through dishonest means. There's always someone better, and there's always someone more capable. If you offend someone you can't afford to offend, your good days will be over.
Old Li was a bit uneasy about Zhou Xuan's situation. He'd been there all day and basically seen everything. It turned out other businesses were trying to take them over and had sabotaged the deal. In these kinds of situations, it's not usually a matter of who's right or wrong; the key is where each side is positioned. If Zhou Xuan wasn't strong enough, he'd only be destined to be taken over. But he had Old Li and Old Wei backing him, so they couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Besides, Zhou Kailun's actions were definitely underhanded.
But everything was handled by his old superior, Old Wei, and he didn't even get a chance to speak. Of course, it wasn't that he was obligated to do anything; it's just that Little Zhou saved his life without ever asking for anything in return. How could someone of his status feel at ease owing such a huge favor?
Zhou Xuan had no idea that Old Li was thinking so much. He smiled and said, "Gentlemen, since you have some free time now, let me take another look at you and see if you've fully recovered!"
There was no need to go to another room; Zhou Xuan could have used the ice energy to probe the old man discreetly. However, he still reached out and gently placed his hand on the old man's pulse, using the ice energy to probe his body. As he expected, the old man was in excellent health and everything was normal.
After testing Old Li again, Zhou Xuan found no remaining shrapnel in his body and that the brain tumor had completely disappeared. He withdrew his hand and smiled, saying, "Both of you are in excellent health. Even better than I expected!"
Li Wei simply wanted to talk to Zhou Xuan alone. But Zhou Xuan wouldn't give him the chance; even when they were alone, Zhou Xuan would casually make up an excuse to avoid it, leaving Li Wei helpless. Coincidentally, an advertisement for Zhou Daxing was playing on TV at that moment. The ad featured a currently popular top-tier domestic female celebrity, Zhou Kailun, who, to be honest, was doing quite well. Zhou Daxing's brand influence was still significant, but it was mostly useless. Being on good terms with the powerful could ensure a stable income, but offending them could also lead to his downfall.
Old Li frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Turn off the TV. Just looking at Zhou Daxing is a bit of a nuisance!"
"Heh, what a joke. Clown, an ignorant brat, what's there to argue about!"
The old man smiled and brushed it off. In fact, in the eyes of people of his and Lao Li's status, it was extremely meaningless to dwell on this topic. Dealing with Zhou Daxing was as easy as crushing an ant; it was a matter of a single sentence. There was no need to bring it up in public. However, if it were a major political event, that would be a different story.
Zhou Xuan didn't care about any of that. He was just an ordinary person and only wanted to live an ordinary life. In his mind, as long as he could earn enough money with Fu Ying to support his family, avoid being bullied, and live a peaceful and happy life, that was enough. He had no other requirements.
Wei Haihong smiled and said, "Uncle Li, don't worry about it. I'll handle this. Don't worry. Prostitute Wang bought some vegetables and made some porridge. It'll be ready in a bit!"
Zhou Xuan didn't stand on ceremony, and Fu Ying naturally didn't say anything. However, with so many young and old in the room, and her being the only girl, it wasn't very interesting. After sitting for a while, her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw it was her mother-in-law, Jin Xiumei, calling.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Go ahead and answer it. I wonder what my mom will say next!"
