As someone from a prestigious family, he had always been the one others relied upon, never having considered following anyone!
Even this time, it was out of necessity, yet now he was filled with utmost admiration for Er Zhu!
"Jin'er also wishes to follow Brother Wang to the death. Your immense kindness to me, Jin'er can never repay even by working like an ox or a horse in this lifetime!"
Just as Er Zhu helped Zhou Mingcheng to his feet, Zhou Jin also knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude.
"Alright, this isn't a TV drama. Living your lives well is the best repayment to me."
A trace of speechlessness flashed in Er Zhu's eyes. He pulled Zhou Jin up again.
The way they put it, he was practically becoming a Guanyin Bodhisattva of compassion and salvation…
"By the way, Boss, if you don't mind, I'd like to give Jin'er to you."
Seeing Er Zhu about to leave, Zhou Mingcheng suddenly thought of something and grabbed him.
Hearing this, Er Zhu became even more speechless, but Zhou Jin looked bashful, as if she couldn't wait.
Huh?
Er Zhu looked utterly bewildered. Wasn't this a father-daughter reunion? How did it suddenly turn to him?
"I… I don't have much to repay you with, only this way!"
Seeing Er Zhu's confused look, Zhou Mingcheng quickly added, a bit anxious.
If it were someone else, he might have given them a large sum of money as reward, but now, he himself was indebted to the Boss, let alone the Boss's money!
"No, I only want to focus on my career right now. Matters of the heart can be discussed later."
Er Zhu subtly withdrew his hand and politely declined with a casual excuse.
He already had too many women around him, he couldn't possibly add more. Otherwise, how would he get revenge?
"Oh, Boss, you're married, aren't you? Jin'er can be your mistress then."
But clearly, Zhou Mingcheng had not understood Er Zhu's meaning. His eyes darted, and he replied awkwardly.
"Yes, I'm willing to be a mistress, as long as I can be with Brother Wang!"
Beside them, Zhou Jin, seeing her father constantly giving her signals, quickly chimed in.
As Er Zhu's friend, she naturally knew he had many beautiful women around him, especially that woman like a piece of flawless jade, who practically went everywhere with Er Zhu!
Moreover, she heard that Brother Wang came from a village. People in rural areas get married early, so that woman must be Brother Wang's wife!
Zhou Jin's mind conjured the image of Li Mei, and a hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even have a girlfriend, how could I be married? You two should hurry home and reunite. I have important matters to attend to."
Er Zhu's eyes flickered as he guessed Zhou Jin's thoughts. He dropped these words and strode away.
Mistress? With his emotional intelligence, dealing with one woman was already a struggle, where would he find the leisure to deal with so many!
Er Zhu shrugged helplessly, the image of Li Mei's face and voice appearing in his mind.
Watching Er Zhu's retreating back, the father and daughter, though disappointed, felt even more admiration for him.
If it were anyone else in this situation, they would have readily accepted, perhaps even gotten together that night. But Er Zhu not only refused but was also angry!
Such integrity was rare these days!
"Jin'er, we must manage the Boss's assets well. Perhaps this is the best way to repay him!"
Zhou Mingcheng took a deep breath, his eyes filled with tears as he looked in the direction of their home, his gaze full of gratitude.
Zhou Jin nodded heavily. She gazed in the direction Er Zhu had left, a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
No matter what, she wanted to be Brother Wang's woman, even if only for once!
On the other side, the Wang family in North China.
Patriarch Wang Lao sat in the main seat with a darkened face. Other members of the Wang family glared angrily at the man before them, the atmosphere in the room tense!
The man before them was named Xiao Lin, the youngest son of the Xiao family from Shendu.
Months ago, at a banquet, he fell in love at first sight with the Wang family's precious daughter, Wang Ling'er, who was Wang Xu's sister. However, his persistent pursuit was unsuccessful, and today he had come to snatch her away!
"Old man Wang, you'd better hand Wang Ling'er over to me, or don't blame me for taking over your Wang family!"
Xiao Lin curved his lips, his eyes sharp as he stared at Wang Lao. Wang Lao's face turned even darker with anger, but he couldn't utter a word.
Although the Wang family had now ascended to the ranks of first-class prestigious families, they were no match for the Xiao family of Shendu!
And now, with Er Zhu unreachable, if Xiao Lin truly took over the Wang family, what would they do?
"I know Wang Xu is the deputy director of the police bureau, but so what? The police have no right to interfere with a normal acquisition!"
Seeing that no one from the Wang family spoke, Xiao Lin seemed to recall something, and swept a disdainful glance over them.
Deputy director of the police bureau might hold some deterrence for ordinary influential families, but for him, it was utterly ineffective!
If he wished, he could even strip Wang Xu of his police uniform!
Commerce, politics, and law all had members of their Xiao family!
And they were all influential figures!
Upstairs, Wang Ling'er was aware of the situation downstairs, but now the Wang family was surrounded by Xiao Lin, and their network was cut off by the Xiao family. How could she contact the outside world?
Just then, Wang Ling'er suddenly thought of something. She quickly dialed Er Zhu's phone.
"Is this Mr. Wang? I am Wang Ling'er, Wang Xu's sister, I… Ah!"
Before Wang Ling'er could finish speaking, Er Zhu heard a shrill scream, and then the call was disconnected!
A flash of insight crossed Er Zhu's eyes, and he then saw everything the Wang family was enduring!
Jingle Bell…
Just as Er Zhu was about to rush to the Wang family, his phone suddenly rang again. Seeing the caller ID, Er Zhu quickly answered.
"Er Zhu, you must save my sister…"
Before Er Zhu could speak, Wang Xu's anxious voice came through the phone. Wang Xu explained everything in detail to Er Zhu. Er Zhu had intended to ask Lin Mo to rescue her, but upon hearing about the Xiao family of Shendu, he decided to go himself!
The Xiao family of Shendu, he hadn't sought revenge against them, yet they had provoked him first!
Since that was the case, he would settle all old and new scores at once!
"Alright, Wang Ling'er will be fine."
Before Wang Xu could finish speaking, Er Zhu interjected. Hearing Er Zhu say this, Wang Xu's anxious heart finally settled down.
Wang Ling'er was the most understanding among all his sisters, she absolutely could not be defiled by that fellow Xiao Lin!
Just as Er Zhu was heading towards the Wang family, Wang Ling'er had already been beaten to a bloody pulp!
It turned out that as soon as she sought help from Er Zhu, she was discovered by the Xiao family's bodyguards. The Xiao family bodyguards immediately subjected her to a brutal beating, and Wang Ling'er was now barely clinging to life!
Wang Ling'er lay in pain on the bed, looking at the blurred figure before her, her eyes filled with rage!
"Wang Ling'er, you can only be mine!"
Xiao Lin's terrifying voice echoed in her ears. Wang Ling'er shivered, and a flicker of fear appeared in her angry eyes!
