Ning Fei's face was grim, his fingertips tapping lightly on the table.
After Chu Zixiong finished speaking, he frowned and said, "Tell me truthfully what happened last night, make sure there are no omissions. If any losses are incurred because of this, I'll hold you accountable."
"Master Ning, how dare I?" Chu Zixiong deflated.
"It's like this, last night I sent people to bring Xu Nianqing back to the Tianxiong Hotel in Leyang County. Somehow Chen Jinzhao followed..."
He recounted the events of the previous night in meticulous detail.
Ning Fei gradually calmed down, his brows furrowed as he asked, "You mean that Chen Jinzhao is really that formidable, capable of taking down all seventeen of your men by himself?"
"And crippling your hand with one kick?"
Chu Zixiong still felt lingering fear recalling last night's encounter, nodding repeatedly. "Yes, exactly. However, I turned off the hotel surveillance last night, so the county bureau has no intention of arresting anyone now, and my brothers suffered for nothing. Master Ning, I really can't stand Chen Jinzhao's arrogant demeanor. Do we have any way to counter him?"
Ning Fei realized Chen Jinzhao was no simple man.
He knew well that Chu Zixiong's direct subordinates were skilled fighters on the streets, capable of taking on three ordinary people at once. Yet, they were still defeated by Chen Jinzhao alone, indicating that Chen Jinzhao's combat power was off the charts!
"Most likely a C-class master," Ning Fei murmured.
As for Chu Zixiong's side, he also told Chu Zixiong not to worry, he would mention it to Wang Zhenliang and have them released as soon as possible.
"I'll deal with Chen Jinzhao. You're no match for him. As for Xu Nianqing, she still owes us fifty million. I can toy with her whenever I want."
"Thank you, Master Ning!" Chu Zixiong's mood greatly improved.
Ning Fei hummed and hung up the phone.
He pondered how to deal with Chen Jinzhao. If Chen Jinzhao couldn't be eliminated, he would cause him considerable trouble.
However, Ning Fei was not without a plan. A few days prior, he had contacted an assassin overseas through the dark web, intending to hire him as a bodyguard and, incidentally, to eliminate Chen Jinzhao without a trace.
This way, he could rest easy.
Ning Fei smiled, as if everything were within his grasp.
In a good mood, he opened the buzzing chat group. This chat group was no small matter; those on the list were all influential business figures from Ninghai and even the Jiangnan region.
Eh?
Ning Fei scrolled up, an uncontainable smile spreading across his face.
Chen Jinzhao had been dumped by Yu Mengzhi!
When they were together, it was a grand affair. Now, less than a month later, he had been dumped by Yu Mengzhi, and Chen Jinzhao had become the laughingstock of Ninghai City.
Most people in the group were also mocking Chen Jinzhao for overestimating himself, a toad dreaming of eating swan meat.
Ning Fei's mood became even more pleasant, and he murmured with a smile, "People from different worlds, how can they possibly end up together? Without the Yu family's protection, I'd like to see how you manage now."
On the other side.
After transferring her father to the city hospital, Xu Nianqing also received the news of Chen Jinzhao being dumped. Her expression froze, and she murmured, "No wonder he looked so unhappy today, so that's why."
Should she take the opportunity to comfort him?
She quickly abandoned the thought. Chen Jinzhao probably needed peace right now, and her appearing before him at this moment would only add to his troubles.
Chen Jinzhao, as the person involved, after an internal struggle, decided against confronting Yu Mengzhi. Since she had made her choice, there was no need to bother her.
Hesitation leads to trouble.
To avoid making things difficult for Yu Mengzhi, he even submitted his resignation to Gou Chen Group, lest outsiders gossip.
Next step.
Chen Jinzhao's plan was to become a security guard at Ninghai University, as Wen Fulai was currently conducting experiments there. This would make it more convenient to protect his safety.
Ring ring!
The phone rang, it was a call from Dog Grandpa Wei Nangua.
Chen Jinzhao had expected Dog Grandpa to mock him, but surprisingly, this guy was quite loyal. On the phone, he expressed his intention to stand by Chen Jinzhao and go wherever Chen Jinzhao went in the future.
"Young Master Chen, how about I treat you to dinner tonight?" Dog Grandpa asked cautiously.
Chen Jinzhao chuckled, "Are you afraid of being retaliated against?"
His words left Dog Grandpa speechless; that was indeed what he was thinking.
Previously, Dog Grandpa had followed Chen Jinzhao's orders to force the Gou Chen executives to make a statement, and those executives must have held a grudge against Dog Grandpa. Now that Chen Jinzhao had broken up with Yu Mengzhi and was about to leave Gou Chen Group, those executives would surely turn their attention to Wei Nangua.
"Uh..."
"Young Master Chen is wise, nothing can escape your notice," Dog Grandpa said with a fawning chuckle.
Chen Jinzhao said lightly, "No need for dinner. I might be working as a security guard at Ninghai University in the future. If you're interested, you can come with me."
Dog Grandpa immediately agreed.
After all, he was destined to be a security guard. Where he worked as a security guard was still being a security guard.
More importantly, Dog Grandpa vaguely felt that Chen Jinzhao was not simple, and if he could gain Chen Jinzhao's trust, his life might take a turn for the better.
"Young Master Chen, there's one more thing I haven't told you."
"What is it?"
Dog Grandpa didn't hesitate and told Chen Jinzhao that someone had come looking for him at the group last night. "That person seemed to be seriously injured, walking with a limp, and said he had something to discuss with you."
"What's his name?" Chen Jinzhao frowned, a figure appearing in his mind.
Dog Grandpa thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "It seems, it seems to be Li Zhongxiao. I vaguely remember those three characters, but there might be some deviation."
Chen Jinzhao prompted, "Is it Li Xiaozhong?"
Dog Grandpa slapped his forehead. "Yes, yes, that's him! Young Master Chen, you know him?"
Chen Jinzhao hummed and asked if Li Xiaozhong had left any contact information. Dog Grandpa answered in the negative. Li Xiaozhong had left without a word after failing to see Chen Jinzhao.
It was him indeed!
Recalling Dog Grandpa's description of him limping, Li Xiaozhong must have been retaliated against by Linxi Mountain Villa.
Linxi Mountain Villa was also a project of the Jiangnan Real Estate Group, making it difficult for Chen Jinzhao not to associate it with Ning Fei. He wondered what role Ning Fei played in this matter.
After a moment's thought, Chen Jinzhao instructed, "How about this, don't rush to resign yet. If Li Xiaozhong finds you again, remember to contact me immediately."
Dog Grandpa didn't dare to ask why and just kept agreeing to the task.
After hanging up the phone.
Chen Jinzhao's gaze was solemn. Li Xiaozhong was once an official member of the Provincial Military Region's special forces, far more skilled than ordinary people. The fact that he was beaten to a limp indicated the opponent was very strong.
This matter arose because of Chen Jinzhao, so Chen Jinzhao naturally had to stand up for Li Xiaozhong.
Ring ring!
Another phone call rang. To Chen Jinzhao's surprise, it was Tao Qiyue this time. Without much thought, Chen Jinzhao pressed the answer button.
"Officer Tao, what a pleasant surprise to receive your call? I was just thinking of finding you to ask about some matters."
Tao Qiyue said with a smile, "Oh really?"
"What a coincidence, I'm on vacation today and wanted to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude in person."
"Do you happen to have time?"
