Chapter 736: Chapter 289: Lightless (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2
Nobody knew what happened, but the sudden explosion and the faint screams from a certain direction caused a commotion in the restaurant.
Wang Ruixi moved too quickly, with an agility unlike any middle-aged person. By the time Liao Jianli reacted, he only saw Wang’s disappearing silhouette around the corner.
"Mr. Wang..."
A bewildered Liao Jianli hurriedly chased after him.
"That cursing voice just now sounded like Qu Jie’s..."
Cao Meijuan, scanning left and right, couldn’t see her son, and her expression changed slightly. She quickly said to Wang Yaolong, and then the two of them ran in that direction.
Vice Director Zhou, Jin Lu, and others were bewildered, but certainly couldn’t keep sitting still. As the leading figures at the main dining table moved, the guests who had been watching the dynamics over here also realized that something significant might have happened. They curiously stood up and gathered toward the stage.
...
Zhou Wang didn’t see what flew out of Sisi’s eye, only saw that after that slap, Sisi’s pupils became noticeably asymmetric. Her other eye suddenly turned into a dim, cross-eyed mess.
Not to mention Zhou Wang, even Lele beside him was startled... What the heck is up with your eyes, Sisi?
Initially, Sisi was a bit dazed, but after a moment of stupor, she suddenly let out an ear-piercing scream.
"Jiang Mo, you... you hit me?!"
Sisi stared wide-eyed, full of disbelief.
They grew up together. Others might not understand, but Sisi was very familiar with Jiang Mo’s character.
Sisi still remembered that in elementary school, when Jiang Mo was bullied by other girl classmates, she didn’t even dare to tell the teacher and would just sit silently in the corner of the classroom and cry.
And to what extent was this woman cowardly... she didn’t even dare to make a sound when crying.
That’s the Jiang Mo in Sisi’s impression.
Her appearance seemed aloof and unreachable, but her true personality was introverted and timid.
That’s also why Sisi wasn’t particularly concerned and dared to stir things up with Wang Feiyu.
Never mind that Jiang Mo’s family had already gone bankrupt, even if not, Sisi wouldn’t have any qualms...
But in that moment, Jiang Mo stared at her with cold, alien eyes.
On the side, Wang Feiyu finally responded, his face a mix of shock and anger.
Even though Jiang Mo was a girl, and the slap on his face couldn’t have been heavy, he still felt a burning pain that, under the strange gazes of Wang Ying and others, spread to his heart.
"Qu Jie!"
Already in a lousy mood after thinking he knew the truth, Wang Feiyu completely lost control and roared viciously.
The dazed Qu Jie finally snapped out of it, his face turning dark as he picked up his walkie-talkie to call the restaurant manager and security.
As for Zhou Wang, seeing the situation spiraling out of control, he grabbed his senior sister, then took out the [Blindfold] as a precaution, and made what he thought was the best decision at that moment...
"Wang Ruixi!"
Zhou Wang’s voice, tinged with anger, reverberated through the restaurant via the microphone he took from Wang Ying’s hand.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Zhou Wang didn’t know if meeting Wang Ruixi rashly at this moment would affect the progress of the [Hidden Round], but he couldn’t care anymore.
Under the connection of the [Soul Contract], only he could feel the turbulent emotions beneath his senior sister’s calm exterior—
Brother Dog... was very angry.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
Hearing Zhou Wang call Wang Ruixi’s name made Qu Jie, Wang Feiyu, and even Lele panic for a moment.
That was the most distinguished guest at the event today, someone even their parents would go to great lengths to flatter. In fact, their initial purpose here was to let the band continue performing to please Mr. Wang. Humiliating Zhou Wang and Jiang Mo was secondary.
Who could have thought Zhou Wang would directly flip the table here...
It was obvious, though they didn’t know what would happen to Zhou Wang for disturbing Mr. Wang, they themselves would inevitably be implicated.
In just a moment, they recognized Zhou Wang’s "malicious intent."
"Shit, Zhou Wang, do you think shouting like that will help?"
Qu Jie couldn’t help but curse, "Who the hell are you, do you think Mr. Wang will pay attention to you?"
At this moment, chaotic footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor, and the restaurant manager, along with a team of burly security guards, appeared first.
"Quick, control them!"
Lele pointed at Zhou Wang and Jiang Mo, shouting loudly, and then turned to Qu Jie, saying, "I’ll go explain to Brother Liao..."
Saying this, Lele turned and quickly headed toward the hall.
Seeing the "half-boss lady" give orders, the restaurant manager immediately gestured for the security guards to take action.
As Zhou Wang frowned, another man in a suit appeared in his view. Though lean, his movements were swift as the wind. In just a few strides, he stepped on the side of a dining table and leaped several meters, landing firmly before Zhou Wang with a "thud."
The fluidity and swiftness of his actions stunned everyone present, including the approaching security guards.
What the hell, is he shooting a movie here?
During his descent, the man casually picked up a fork from the dining table and, upon regaining his stance, gave a slight bow to Zhou Wang before silently standing in front of Zhou Wang and Jiang Mo.
