The man sitting next to Zhou Xuan responded, then got out of the car to look. After getting out, he closed the car door tightly. He glanced at the car, then immediately knocked on Wu Jianguo's car window in surprise and said, "Brother Guo, this car... this car..."
Wu Jianguo snorted and angrily opened the car door and got out of the car, but after taking a look, he was stunned!
The two rear tires of this car are missing. No wonder the car can't move. I was just riding in this car a moment ago. How could it suddenly disappear?
Although Wu Jianguo found it strange, he didn't have time to think about it now. He immediately ordered someone to take Zhou Xuan to the second car. They brought three cars in total.
When Wu Jianguo got into the second car, the door closed and before he could say anything, the driver was very quick-witted. Without him saying anything, the driver started the engine, but when he turned the steering wheel, he suddenly turned it off, leaving Wu Jianguo stunned!
Holding the steering wheel, he turned back to Wu Jianguo and said sheepishly, "Brother Guo, this... this steering wheel is broken!"
Enraged, Wu Jianguo cursed, "You fucking eat shit!"
There was only one car left. Wu Jianguo didn't get in. With a dark face, he said, "Drive it for a bit. Is the car okay?"
The man quickly drove the car about ten meters, then reversed and stuck his head out of the window, saying, "Brother Guo, the car is fine!"
Wu Jianguo immediately waved his hand and said, "Jin San, take two people with you, the rest of you can ride in the car!"
However, just as Wu Jianguo got into the car and Jin San was about to get in with Zhou Xuan, the car tire suddenly burst with a "bang," like a firecracker.
Wu Jianguo was practically going crazy. He kicked open the car door and yelled, "Damn it, let's take a taxi!"
At this moment, Li Wei drove out and saw Wu Jianguo's men arresting Zhou Xuan. He immediately slammed on the brakes, jumped out of the car, and coldly shouted, "Damn Wu Jianguo, you want to fight? I'm ready!"
Upon seeing Li Wei arrive, Wu Jianguo knew he couldn't take Zhou Xuan away. He had just managed to sneak away and give Zhou Xuan a good beating while Li Wei was out getting the car, which would have been a way to vent his anger. But now that Li Wei had appeared, his wish had been dashed!
Li pulled Zhou Xuan into the car, gave Wu Jianguo the middle finger, and then drove away.
No sooner had Li Wei's Jeep left than Shangguan Mingyue chased after it in a red Porsche. Among the few people present, Wu Jianguo was seething with rage; if he had a gun, he would have pulled it out and started firing indiscriminately!
Volume 1, Chapter 203: Magic
The misfortunes that befell the two kingdoms were certainly not coincidences…
This was all caused by Zhou Xuan using his ice-energy ability. He transformed and swallowed the two wheels of the first car, broke the steering wheel of the second car, and blew out the tires of the third car.
Aside from the two missing tires on the first car being a bit strange, the steering wheel and tire blowout were relatively easy to explain. However, Wu Jianguo and his men believed it was either done by Wu Jianguo's rival or someone who did it secretly. They just couldn't explain why they hadn't noticed it when they drove it out.
Regardless, Wu Jianguo and his group didn't suspect Zhou Xuan, since they had him under their control. It was impossible for them to do anything underhanded.
"These bastards, I'll call a few men over to teach them a lesson."
Li Wei was furious at Wu Jianguo's actions while driving. If Wu Jianguo and his gang had arrested Zhou Xuan earlier, even if Zhou Xuan was not in any danger, he would be humiliated if he were beaten up.
He had intended to take Zhou Xuan out for some fun, but he hadn't expected to almost cause trouble. After feeling annoyed, he asked again, "Brother Xuan, where are we going now?"
Zhou Xuan took out his phone and checked the time: 4:50. There was still about an hour before his appointment with Ms. Xu. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's go to the West City Hotel. I have a business meeting to discuss at 6:00. It's getting late, so it's better to go early and wait a bit!"
Li Wei nodded, drove the car to the roundabout, made a U-turn, and then headed towards the Xicheng Hotel.
Not far from Hongcheng Garden, Zhou Xuan looked at the familiar street scene and missed Fu Ying a little. Although they hadn't been apart for long, he still missed her.
Xicheng Hotel is considered a mid-to-high-end hotel. While it's not among the best in Beijing, it's still quite unique.
When the waiter came over and asked, Zhou Xuan replied directly, "I made an appointment with a friend, I booked room 208!"
The waiter immediately took the two of them to room 208.
This was a small private room of about 20 square meters. The waiter served tea first, but Zhou Xuan didn't order any food, saying that they would wait until the guests arrived before serving tea and chatting.
After pouring the tea, the waiter left.
Li Wei took a sip of tea and frowned. He said, "This tea is terrible!" If Zhou Xuan hadn't insisted on coming here, he would have been cursing.
Zhou Xuan smiled, picked up his teacup, and took a small sip. He seemed quite content, showing no trace of the lingering negative feelings left by Wu Jianguo and his gang at the beginning.
"Brother Xuan!" Li Wei chuckled, then suddenly remembered the question he'd been pondering all the way. He leaned close to Zhou Xuan's face, sniffed, and asked, "Brother Xuan, I can't smell a trace of alcohol on you. So much liquor, twenty bottles! My goodness, where did you put them all? Hehe, don't tell me you really drank them all, huh?"
Zhou Xuan smiled. Just as he was about to speak, he heard two soft knocks on the door. Then the waiter opened the door and said, "Sir, your friend has arrived!"
"So early?" Zhou Xuan immediately thought about the time...
The waiter made way, and a woman walked in gracefully from outside, like a figure from a painting. Li Wei immediately stood up, speechless.
This girl was not the representative of the Xu family that Zhou Xuan wanted to invite, but Shangguan Mingyue, whom we had just met at Zhuzhu Entertainment City!
Seeing that Zhou Xuan and Li Wei were both somewhat stunned, Shangguan Mingyue smiled and pulled out a chair to sit down. She said, "You two have no manners at all! Not only did you sneak away, but now that you've met, you don't even offer me a seat!" Shangguan Mingyue was indeed beautiful, comparable to Fu Ying. But she possessed a different kind of beauty. Of course, Zhou Xuan couldn't possibly fall for her. His initial surprise stemmed from how she knew about this place. He quickly realized she must have followed him here, but he had no intention of engaging with her. Helping her at the Mingzhu Entertainment City wasn't out of ulterior motives. It was simply a matter of disliking Wu Jianguo's arrogance and acting on impulse, without expecting anything in return from Shangguan Mingyue.
Li Wei had long forgotten about asking Zhou Xuan, and foolishly rushed to serve Shangguan Mingyue a cup of tea, forgetting all about the poor quality of the tea.
Shangguan Mingyue's beautiful eyes were fixed on Zhou Xuan. After a moment of gazing, seeing that Zhou Xuan remained unmoved, she said, "Sir, may I know your name? I am deeply grateful."
Zhou Xuan waved his hand and said calmly, "You don't need to come over to thank me or ask for anything. I didn't come for that at all, so you don't need to ask my name. To tell you the truth, I helped you for a few coincidences. First, I couldn't stand seeing Li Wei lose to that bastard. Second, I couldn't stand that bastard's arrogance. Third, I've studied magic tricks, which happened to be able to help with this. None of these reasons are because of you, so you don't need to thank me!"
Zhou Xuan's words made Li Wei feel embarrassed. It was too abrupt for the beautiful lady, and it also made Shangguan Mingyue feel quite awkward!
Is this guy really trying to play hard to get? Shangguan Mingyue has absolute confidence in her looks. You could say that from the time she was old enough to understand until now, there hasn't been a single man who could resist her charm. As for Zhou Fu, Shangguan Mingyue really doesn't know how he could treat her with such an expression and tone!
Shangguan Mingyue stared intently at Zhou Xuan with her bright, clear eyes, while Zhou Xuan's eyes, like clear river water, were pure and transparent, devoid of any evil intent, forming a stark contrast to his mysterious and unfathomable aura. Yet, these two extreme qualities blended perfectly together!
After a while, Shangguan Mingyue was the first to back down. She almost truly believed what Zhou Xuan had said. He had no ill intentions towards her and had not come for her at all. It was all just a coincidence!
But was it really just a coincidence?
Shangguan Mingyue suddenly smiled, wrinkled her pretty nose, and asked, "Alright, let's not talk about anything else. I'm just curious, could I see your magic trick again? I'm an atheist, you know."
Upon hearing Shangguan Mingyue's words, Li Wei remembered what he had just wanted to ask Zhou Xuan, and immediately nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, Brother Zhou Xuan, why don't you perform again!"
