Chapter 189: I Won't Yield To A Rich Woman

Only after they left the building, Zhu Mengmeng weakly asked, “Are they… are they dead?”

“No,” Chu Ge replied, “Their minds have suffered severe trauma, worse than your father’s. Unless they have a master like Qiuqiu to treat them, they will probably be in a vegetative state for one or two years, or even their entire lives.”

Zhong Yi glanced at Chu Ge but didn’t say anything.

Not necessarily their entire lives, as there is still treatment available… but Zhong Yi felt that Qiu Wuji’s healing abilities were extremely rare. It wasn’t something easily found, and recovering within a year or two was unlikely.

Zhu Mengmeng, however, held no sympathy, “Serves them right. I hope no one can save them!”

Chu Ge turned to look at Zhong Yi’s expression and asked, “Do you think we were too ruthless? Without this level of intimidation, I doubt it would work. I suspect that even with this, it might not be enough to deter them, and they might come back for revenge, which would be troublesome.”

“It worked,” Zhong Yi shook his head, “They aren’t fools. Even if they really want revenge, they would have to find out more about your background… Actually, if it were me in charge, I probably wouldn’t do much more. Du Lianfeng and Qi Chengtai aren’t their parents, so what’s the point of seeking revenge?”

Chu Ge said, “It’s not that simple, right?”

“Of course not,” Zhong Yi said calmly, “Within the group, they lost two loud voices, so they will seize the opportunity to attack them and take away their interests. That’s their logic. And they also have some of their own people, which will lead to a short period of internal conflict.”

Chu Ge nodded, “What happens after that?”

“In regard to their attitude towards us, there will be conflicts between those who advocate for revenge and those who try to win us over,” Zhong Yi smiled, “Within an organization, expecting only one kind of voice is wishful thinking. They will come one after another, forming a queue to offer support.”

Chu Ge, “Uh…”

Why does it feel like I got hit by an arrow in the knee? Did I write my previous book like this?

“But it also means that once they decide on revenge, it will be an unstoppable force, not just a few people coming to deliver,” Zhong Yi sighed, “You guys, the two cabalash brothers, for a while, they won’t be able to figure out your background, and they will even avoid the Zhu family and won’t dare to provoke easily… I, on the other hand, feel like I have to run away. They know how much I’m worth.”

Chu Ge laughed, “I don’t believe you’re that cowardly.”

Zhong Yi smiled faintly, “In a while, I’ll make a trip to Shanghai.”

Chu Ge knew he had a plan. After mingling in both the black and white sides for so many years, Zhong Yi wasn’t just an ordinary person. His mother even thought of him as a person who was quite cautious; how could he be satisfied with just this little thing…

Thinking about the attitude of the female secretary just now, Zhong Yi’s analysis was probably correct. The other side must also have their own internal conflicts; it’s impossible for everyone to be united as one… Who would think that everyone is united by faith?

But even if the other side were to come knocking on their door, Chu Ge didn’t feel afraid now. The feeling of having the world at his fingertips was so intoxicating that he felt invincible. He truly believed that even if an army came at him, it wouldn’t be enough to kill him.

“So why wait for a while before going?” Chu Ge asked.

Zhong Yi stood in front of the car and said, “I haven’t figured out the reason behind the incident that caused me to lose my balance and led to Old Zhu’s fall. I can’t let it go.”

Zhu Mengmeng said, “It’s really not those people just now?”

Qiu Wuji said, “Indeed, it doesn’t seem like them. The motive doesn’t match, and their abilities don’t fit. When they were confident before, there was no need to deliberately hide this matter, but they acted like they had no idea when it was brought up.”

Zhong Yi pondered, “I have a feeling there’s a third party involved, and it seems like they were targeting me. After all, they attacked me first and, when that didn’t work, they tried to escalate the conflict between us and Du Lianfeng… Old Zhu was caught in the crossfire. But as for me… I don’t have many enemies, but there are still a few sides. For a moment, I can’t think of which side would do this.”

Zhu Mengmeng felt somewhat helpless, feeling that her father’s situation was like this because of Zhong Yi this time. But she couldn’t blame him, as Zhong Yi had previously rushed to help her father and even fought with others on the rooftop, showing a great deal of loyalty. She sighed, “Let’s get in the car first. It’s not convenient to talk outside.”

Zhu Mengmeng was driving a white Porsche Cayenne, and everyone had come in her car. Their attention was not on the car earlier, but now that they had some leisure time, Qiu Wuji found the big frog like car quite cute. “Mengmeng, how much did this frog car cost?”

Chu Ge just took off his mask and, upon hearing the question, he covered his face again, “Don’t ask… just don’t.”

Zhu Mengmeng started the car and smiled, “It’s just a family car. Dad didn’t want me to be too high-profile, so he didn’t even let me get the Turbo version…”

Chu Ge, “…”

But then Zhu Mengmeng continued, “If you want, I can give you one.”

Chu Ge, “!”

Sister Mengmeng… sob, sob, sob…

Qiu Wuji saw his reaction and knew that this car was probably exorbitantly expensive. Helplessly, she said, “I was just asking. I’m thinking of buying a car in the future, so I wanted to get some reference. I didn’t say you have to give me one.”

Chu Ge, “Wuwuwu…”

Qiu Wuji glared at him.

Chu Ge immediately sat up straight and said, “I won’t yield to a rich woman!”

Zhu Mengmeng glanced at the rearview mirror and chuckled, “You saved my dad and helped us solve a huge problem. Even if it’s my dad, he would want to give you gifts as gratitude. If you refuse to accept even a car, it’s like looking down on our family.”

Qiu Wuji said, “We don’t necessarily need a car…”

“Oh, right! You want a wedding house, don’t you? No problem…” Zhu Mengmeng continued teasing.

“That’s not it…” Qiu Wuji covered her face, “Don’t make it weird, Mengmeng.”

Zhu Mengmeng sighed, “You guys… okay, we’ll talk about it later.”

Qiu Wuji was actually somewhat interested in cars all along. She thought about Zhang Qirens luxury car before. It wasn’t because she liked cars themselves; she couldn’t even name three car brands. It wasn’t like she needed a car either—food, clothing, shelter, and transportation—those were the main differences between this world and the world in the book. She just wanted to experience it all one by one.

But the real world was quite realistic; if you didn’t have money, you couldn’t experience anything.

Seeing her like this, Chu Ge also thought about buying a car at some point. Their community was several rings away from the city center, and parking spaces weren’t too crowded there. If they really wanted to use a car, it would be relatively convenient, and the issue of the expensive parking space wasn’t a problem anymore.

If they wanted to be self-sufficient, it would be best to research and buy a car that was good in terms of cost-effectiveness, well-equipped, attractive, and spacious. Chu Ge knew that Qiu Wuji would definitely want a spacious one, something that could fit…

Zhong Yi sat in the front passenger seat and had been observing Chu Ge’s expressions through the right side-view mirror. He suddenly smiled.

It really wasn’t easy; the ability has reached such a powerful level that he wants a car and is still thinking about self-sufficiency. If everyone was like this, what would be the problem with the emergence of abilities?

Unfortunately, such people were too few…

……….

Back at the hospital, Cai Zhijian was assisting Old Zhu for a walk on the lawn, undergoing rehabilitation. He looked like a very good son-in-law. It was evident that the care he provided had somewhat reduced the grudge that Old Zhu held against him. There was even a smile on Old Zhu’s face.

At the same time, some bodyguards were surrounding the area. It seemed that after the attack on Old Zhu, he had abandoned his carefree strolls in the park and playing chess and taking photos. He had begun to have people protect him.

Zhu Mengmeng looked at her dad and her husband getting along so well and felt very happy. She ran over to support her father from the other side and asked with a smile, “Dad, are you feeling better today?”

Old Zhu replied, “Apart from feeling a bit tired, I’m overall much better… Zhijian said you went to see Du Lianfeng? They didn’t bully you, did they? I’ve already made a decision to sell the mine and be done with it in the future…”

“Dad, they were driven away.”

“Hmm?” Old Zhu looked at Zhong Yi, and Zhong Yi nodded in confirmation.

In an instant, Old Zhu thought of the god-like Third and Sixth brothers. He looked at Chu Ge for a long time with a twitching expression before sighing at Zhong Yi, “What kind of ‘black room’ are you running? In the end, others are the ones helping you with your ‘black room’.”

Zhong Yi replied confidently, “But they are no longer part of my ‘black room’.”

“Damn it.”

Zhong Yi : “So, you joining the Black Room wasn’t a mistake, right? You might as well take off your mask in the future. What’s the point of pretending to be a masked man with such abilities?”

Old Zhu couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. He turned his head and showed a bright smile to Chu Ge, “Third brother, you are truly loyal. If you need anything in the future, just speak up! Oh, by the way, you always ride a little electric scooter. How about getting a nice car?”

Zhu Mengmeng laughed at her father’s words.

Chu Ge covered his face, “Why do you two have the same thought process? I don’t want this, alright?”

“Oh, then how about a house…”

“It’s not that, Old Zhu…” Chu Ge patted his shoulder, “If you really want to thank me, I have a somewhat awkward request. I wonder if you would be willing…”

“Marriage to Mengmeng?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Cai Zhijian: “…”

Zhu Mengmeng: “…”

“???” Qiu Wuji was furious, “Old thief, did I have no part in saving you?”

“Just joking, just joking…” Old Zhu hastily apologized. Everyone knew that although Sixth Brother didn’t talk much, she had an unusual relationship with the Third Brother. He sighed with some regret, “That’s all, I’m willing to give you my daughter, not to mention other things. So, tell me, what do you want?”

“I don’t really want anything, I just want to research something under your mine.” Chu Ge carefully observed Old Zhu’s expression, unsure if this would touch a nerve. After all, everything started because of this thing, and it wouldn’t be good if Old Zhu thought he had ulterior motives…

But he saw Old Zhu smile confidently, “What do you think I am? In fact, if it wasn’t for the trouble of property division and such, I’d be willing to give you the mine.”
