Chapter 1717: Chapter 700: Brotherhood in the Heart

Damn, he’s got a good eye for people!

Zhou Wang could only give Qi Jiayi a big thumbs up.

Of course... it was a joke.

In fact, Zhou Wang wasn’t really thinking of doing anything to Qi Jiayi right now. He was meeting with them one by one just to take advantage of the opportunity to deepen their feelings.

But considering Qi Jiayi’s personality, if she insisted on being stubborn against him, Zhou Wang wouldn’t mind using "special therapy" to awaken her more agreeable personalities.

He probed a few more questions without giving up, but seeing Qi Jiayi didn’t let a single drop of water slip through, not revealing anything about what she talked with Caroline, nor showing any sign of opening the door, Zhou Wang looked at his watch and had no choice but to give up reluctantly.

The sky was already starting to darken; if he didn’t go find Jiang Qingkui, she would probably start getting suspicious.

No, given Jiang Qingkui’s personality, although she’s proud, she might suddenly come to knock on Zhou Wang’s door under Xu Wenqian’s persuasion, and if she discovered Zhou Wang wasn’t in his room then...

"Qi Jiayi, just you wait for me!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Wang left a final impotent and furious threat, then hurriedly left.

...

A moment later, Zhou Wang arrived at the door of the study on the second floor.

According to the intelligence, this was the room Jiang Qingkui entered with Xu Wenqian, along with Lin Ran and Linlin who came to join the fun.

But Zhou Wang had already sent Lin Ran a message in advance. If she was sensible, she would have taken Linlin somewhere else. Hmm, if her IQ was just a little higher, she’d have understood his hint and found an excuse to get Xu Wenqian out too.

Therefore, Zhou Wang confidently judged that there was only Jiang Qingkui alone in the study.

He waved to the corner, and Xiao Wang immediately walked briskly over and handed Zhou Wang a room card.

As the owner of the estate, Zhou Wang could naturally enter and exit any place here at will... he had a universal room card with the highest chip level.

Of course, with Qi Jiayi, Zhou Wang was too lazy to bother with her, so he didn’t forcefully open the door and barge in.

But Jiang Qingkui was different. Even though this prideful woman wanted to be alone with Zhou Wang to death, she would never admit it. So Zhou Wang didn’t plan to waste energy and opted for the simplest and quickest way.

With a wave of his hand, once Xiao Wang disappeared around the corner, Zhou Wang "beeped" the smart lock of the door, which responded with a "click" and opened.

He pushed the door open, imagining whether Jiang Qingkui was sitting by the windowsill, lost in thought, or lying on the sofa for a nap, or irritably handling business at the desk when his expression suddenly froze.

Because the room was bustling, with three women and a girl gathered around a mahjong table in the corner of the tea room, laughing and playing mahjong.

When Zhou Wang sneakily crept in, they all looked up at him in unison, and then Zhou Wang froze in place.

"Oh crap, they’re all still here?"

Linlin was mixed with surprise amidst bewilderment, Lin Ran’s expression had a hint of awkwardness, Xu Wenqian seemed to want to remind the boss about something but hesitated due to Jiang Qingkui beside her, and eventually said nothing.

As for Jiang Qingkui, sitting directly opposite the door, her expression was somewhat ambiguous.

"It’s late, Mr. Zhou sneaking in here, I wonder what business you have?"

The striking features of Jiang Qingkui faintly remarked, "Oh, Mr. Zhou must be disappointed because according to your flawless plan, only I should be left alone in this study, right?"

"Mr. Jiang..."

Lin Ran awkwardly spoke at this, seemingly wanting to explain something.

"Sister Ran, no need to explain. I know you wanted to send Wenxi and Linlin away earlier, it wasn’t your intention; you were just under the instruction of some unscrupulous scumbag."

Jiang Qingkui crossed her arms and sneered coldly.

"Cough cough..."

Hearing this, Zhou Wang realized Lin Ran’s excuses were too clumsy, detected by Jiang Qingkui as off.

Damn, he’d specially reminded Lin Ran in the message to be natural and cautious, yet this dim-witted woman was still seen through by Jiang Qingkui...

He couldn’t help but glare at Lin Ran, and the unjustly aggrieved Lin Ran could only shrink back and sit down again.

Boss, I really was acting naturally. It’s just that the opponent’s IQ is too high, not my fault!

"Ah, what sending away, Qingkui, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Wang would never admit his wicked thoughts at times like this, so he awkwardly laughed and quickly slipped into performance mode, walking into the room with a sigh:

"It’s just right that all of you are here, I have some very important things to discuss with you."

Jiang Qingkui already made her assumptions, so she didn’t believe a single word from Zhou Wang, just watched him with her arms crossed, a touch of mockery at the corners of her lips.

But Xu Wenqian always showed unconditional tolerance for Zhou Wang, so she immediately rose to greet him with concern, "Boss, what’s the matter?"

Zhou Wang didn’t look at Jiang Qingkui, just sat down at the desk, and said with a serious expression:

"There are things I couldn’t say in front of everyone earlier, and you guys... are my people, not just colleagues, but half my family, so I don’t need to avoid you."

Upon hearing this, although Jiang Qingkui maintained her aloof demeanor, she couldn’t help but perk up her ears.

"The situation I’m about to face is actually far worse than what I’ve mentioned."

Zhou Wang smiled bitterly, "To this point, all my personal assets have been frozen, and all the money I can use is just left with a few hundred thousand in cash..."
