Chapter 1797: Chapter 740: "Year

"Who is Han Zechen?"

Zhou Wang was a bit confused upon first hearing this name.

When Qu Peining reminded him that he was the owner of the bar they visited a few nights ago, Zhou Wang finally reacted.

"Does this person have some sort of background?"

Zhou Wang asked.

The underlying logic was... If Han Zechen was just a trivial figure, Qu Peining wouldn’t be consulting him specifically.

Since Qu Peining made a point to remind him, it likely indicated that Han Zechen had some unusual background.

"Two days ago, Old Gao and I noticed his people tailing us, but we couldn’t figure out their intentions, so we didn’t alert them prematurely."

Qu Peining briefly reported, "Afterward, I casually looked into his background. He is a spoiled brat himself, but his father is not simple."

"What?"

Zhou Wang’s gaze slightly hardened.

Anyone described by Qu Peining as "not simple" is definitely not an ordinary figure.

"His father is called Han Li..."

"Hang on, which Han Li?"

Zhou Wang was confused again.

"Do you know a lot of Han Li people?"

Now it was Qu Peining’s turn to be puzzled.

"Uh, not really, just thought of a novel... Ahem, it’s okay, Peining, go on."

"This Han Li was a very influential figure in all of Min Province, and besides..."

Qu Peining hesitated.

"Just say it straightforwardly."

"He might have some ties with my family."

"With your family?" Zhou Wang was taken aback, "You mean..."

"I specifically called my elder brother, Han Li should have been my grandfather’s security guard. He retired due to an injury, made his fortune in Beidou, but later, perhaps due to concerns about influence, shifted to Min Province to start a business."

Qu Peining softly explained.

"So complex?"

"Here’s the detailed information, you can take a look."

After Qu Peining finished speaking, she handed over a printed dossier.

Zhou Wang took and glanced at it, sharply noticing that the format of the dossier seemed different, as if it was extracted from some kind of archive, clearly not something ordinary people could access.

After roughly browsing Han Li’s life, Zhou Wang clicked his tongue and said, "His life is so fascinating, many instances could be directly adapted into films and TV shows..."

"Hey, someone actually used him as a model for a script, but it failed to pass censorship."

Zhou Wang was surprised to see a certain line on the dossier.

After reading Han Li’s information, Zhou Wang simply labeled him as "Old Cannon of Beidou."

In a certain past era, such people built an alternative Jianghu. Though most of them had rather poor outcomes, Han Li was an outstanding exception, can even be called a king-level figure, successfully retreating after leaving a series of legends during that chaotic era.

Now, his identity in Min Province is that of a successful businessman, and Han Zechen is his only son.

"What do they intend to do by tailing me?"

Zhou Wang closed the dossier and asked.

He hadn’t noticed being stalked, and people who haven’t experienced such things normally wouldn’t imagine this... After all, this is Huaxia.

"Not sure for now, should I go warn them?"

Qu Peining shook her head.

"No need."

After pondering, Zhou Wang shook his head saying, "After all, it was them who suffered losses at the bar. Let’s just observe for now."

With Gao Xing and Qu Peining around, Zhou Wang wouldn’t worry about his safety. To quickly achieve the fourth action round target, he had many things to keep busy with next, so he wasn’t inclined to bother with these disturbances.

"Okay."

Qu Peining responded and was about to turn to leave, but then she paused.

"What are you doing?"

Qu Peining turned around slightly annoyed, looking down at Zhou Wang’s hand holding her fair wrist.

"Peining, I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages."

Zhou Wang gazed into her eyes, and slowly said, "I... want to kiss you."

A typical playboy would just say "I miss you" at this moment, but someone as much of a playboy as Zhou Wang naturally throws out the trump card right away.

Just one word made Qu Peining’s heart race, her strength swiftly drained, and she halted her movement to break free from Zhou Wang.

"You... you want to trick me again!"

Qu Peining avoided Zhou Wang’s gaze and said softly.

Is this girl having a conditioned reflex?

Reflecting on their past experiences, Zhou Wang couldn’t help blushing.

Because, in some sense, Qu Peining’s accusation had some truth... No, it should be said it had much truth.

"Peining..."

Zhou Wang was just about to say something, but Qu Peining looked up again and deeply gazed at him.

That complex look interrupted all the words Zhou Wang wanted to say.

"You know just how to trick me, you just know how to trick me..."

Qu Peining murmured softly, but her cheeks gradually reddened. Then, looking at Zhou Wang’s slightly dazed expression, she closed her eyes and gently leaned back against the freezer.

If Zhou Wang couldn’t comprehend the signal sent by that action, then he wouldn’t be Zhou Wang.

Without needing to say anything further, Zhou Wang reached out, lightly lifted her smooth chin, and leaned in to kiss her.

"Mmm!"

After passively enduring the kiss for a few seconds, Qu Peining suddenly extended her arms and tightly embraced Zhou Wang’s neck.

Squeak!

The freezer emitted sounds of unbearable strain under the weight.

...

Time flew by swiftly.

This year’s Spring Festival seemed to arrive especially early, as on January 28th it was already New Year’s Eve.
