The injured person woke up!
No more, no less, exactly three minutes!
Li Hongmei glanced at her watch, her face instantly flushed, her angry eyes full of shock.
How was this possible?
Even her master could not achieve such precise timing, and this young kid actually could!
This was simply unbelievable!
Li Hongmei stared with wide eyes, scrutinizing Er Zhu for the first time, but after looking several times, she couldn't find anything special about him.
Perhaps, it was just luck.
This thought crossed Li Hongmei's mind. She nodded slightly, then withdrew her gaze.
"My goodness, this is too magical!"
At the doorway, the other police officers who witnessed this scene were all exclaiming in amazement. Zhang Qiang, standing nearby, looked increasingly displeased.
This scene was undoubtedly a slap in the face for him, the police captain!
Truly, a talent from the countryside!
Zhang Qiang carefully observed Er Zhu, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Sun Jianguo slowly opened his eyes, looking at everything around him with confusion and unfamiliarity. When he saw Er Zhu, he tightly grasped his hand.
"Brother Sun, don't be afraid. Just tell Captain Zhang if anything is wrong. After you drink that ginseng soup, you should go home. We'll discuss the rest later."
Er Zhu patted Sun Jianguo's hand, gave a few instructions, and then turned to leave.
"Er Zhu, can you stay and help us solve the case?"
As Er Zhu turned, Zhang Qiang stepped forward, looking at him with anticipation and asked.
From what had just happened, he vaguely felt that Er Zhu was no ordinary person. With his help, this matter would surely yield twice the result with half the effort!
"I have many other things to attend to and am not interested."
Er Zhu merely cast a indifferent glance at Zhang Qiang, uttered these words, and then walked towards the door.
Seeing Er Zhu's ungrateful attitude, Li Hongmei frowned tightly.
This guy was too arrogant!
After leaving the police station, Er Zhu returned to Wang Xiaomei's house, where the three women were already drowsy from waiting.
"Er Zhu, you're an hour late!"
Wang Xiaomei pointed at her watch, her lips pouting so much they could hang a teapot.
"Sorry, something delayed me."
Er Zhu offered that simple, honest smile again. He didn't mention Sun Jianguo's situation, giving a casual excuse to brush it off.
"I know you're a busy man. I've already bought the hotel's building. It's a twenty-three-story high-rise in a bustling area south of the city!"
Wang Xiaomei gave Er Zhu an annoyed glance, then proudly reported her progress over this period.
"Twenty-three stories? There aren't many buildings that tall in our town!"
Lin Qingqing's eyes widened, and she exclaimed excitedly.
"There are only about a dozen in total, and Er Zhu owns two of them!"
Wang Xiaomei said as she pondered, then suddenly seemed to remember something. She held up two fingers, looking at Er Zhu with envy.
"Er Zhu, you are now not just the richest man in Shiliu Village, you are the richest man in the entire town!"
Instantly, all three women's gazes snapped to Er Zhu, their looks as if they could devour him.
"Hmm... that's not the main point. How are the other things going?"
Er Zhu cleared his throat, looking at their ravenous eyes, and quickly changed the subject.
He suddenly felt that cooperating with these three women was quite a dangerous endeavor!
"I've already hired the best design company and renovation team in town!"
Liu Yan raised her head, looking at Er Zhu triumphantly, like a child asking for candy.
"I've recruited some hotel staff, but only a few."
Seeing that Wang Xiaomei and Liu Yan had both completed their tasks outstandingly and quickly, Lin Qingqing's eyes were filled with resentment and envy.
"Huh? Our benefits are the best among all hotels, how could there only be a few?"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaomei and Liu Yan's faces fell, and their eyes were filled with confusion.
"I don't know either. I've tried every method, but I just can't recruit people."
A hint of panic flashed in Lin Qingqing's eyes. She shook her head while explaining aggrievedly.
The three women looked bewildered. They discussed for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. Finally, all three pairs of eyes turned to Er Zhu.
Er Zhu, feeling their intense gazes, was taken aback, a spark of insight flashing in his eyes.
As his gaze swept towards the east of the city, Er Zhu saw a familiar figure.
Wang Xiao!
Wang Xiao sat in an office, with an endless line of people beside him. Judging by their clothing, they were all migrant workers, some even wearing hotel uniforms.
"It's Wang Xiao. He's also opened a hotel."
The spark in Er Zhu's eyes instantly vanished. He turned to look at the three women and spoke slowly.
"That's impossible. After Wang Xiao lost twenty million, his father beat him severely and restricted his pocket money. He has no money to open a hotel!"
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, Wang Xiaomei stood up and refuted him with absolute certainty.
"Who is Wang Xiao?"
Liu Yan and Lin Qingqing looked blankly and asked in unison.
"I'll explain it to you later, but Wang Xiao definitely wouldn't open a hotel. Even if he wanted revenge, he wouldn't!"
Mentioning Wang Xiao, Wang Xiaomei almost couldn't suppress her laughter. She stifled her amusement and assured them once more.
"Okay, you guys sit down. I'm going out to take a look."
Er Zhu didn't argue with her. He simply said this and then turned to leave.
Wang Xiaomei didn't believe him, and he couldn't be bothered to explain. Besides, all three of them had contributed money and effort to the hotel, so it was his turn to act.
"Where is Er Zhu going?"
Seeing Er Zhu's departing back, the three women blinked their big eyes, full of confusion.
"He must be going to find Wang Xiao. Let's hurry after him!"
Wang Xiaomei's eyes darted, as if she had thought of something. She grabbed Liu Yan and Lin Qingqing and chased after him.
Although there was a gap between the Wang family and Er Zhu, the Wang family was a prominent family in the town. If they truly angered the Wang family and united all the families in the town against Er Zhu, Er Zhu would be in dire straits!
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaomei's heart tightened, and her footsteps quickened!
Er Zhu's speed was astonishing. By the time the three women came out, Er Zhu had already driven away. Wang Xiaomei quickly jumped into her car and pursued him.
Along the way, Wang Xiaomei recounted the details of the previous bet to the other two women. Hearing this, Liu Yan and Lin Qingqing were even more dumbfounded!
"Er Zhu is amazing! He won twenty million in one go!"
"Xiaomei, are you talking about the Wang family, ranked second in the neighboring city?"
Both women looked at Wang Xiaomei, their shocked eyes revealing admiration and affection!
Er Zhu was indeed the best choice in their hearts. Who wouldn't like a man like this!
Seeing the two women's infatuated expressions, Wang Xiaomei's face, however, darkened, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She suddenly regretted telling them so much...
