Chapter 178 - 178 Dispute Begins
178 Dispute Begins
Dong Peng pushed the door open and entered. He saw that Dong Yan’s face was sallow and he was using his strength to prop himself up from the bed. He quickly went forward and supported Dong Yan. “Why are you up? Didn’t the doctor instruct you to rest for the time being?”
“It’s fine, Dad.” Enduring the intense pain in his feet, Dong Yan was helped to the bed by Dong Peng again. “Dad, I know you’re no longer prepared to fight for the Las Vegas project tomorrow, but I believe Zhou Xuan isn’t that kind of person. I still hope you can help him on the spot. I don’t want him to lose.”
“Although I also believe in Zhou Xuan, I haven’t investigated who wanted to kill you…” Dong Peng looked hesitant. “If I rashly help Zhou Xuan, what if he’s really the mastermind?”
“I believe he’s not that kind of person.” Dong Yan’s eyes were filled with trust. His lips were dry and cracked, but he still said stubbornly, “But Dad, if you don’t help him, the mastermind will really get this project.”
Dong Peng still looked hesitant.
Dong Yan shook his hand heavily. “Dad!”
“Alright, I promise you.” Dong Peng had no choice but to nod when he saw that his pampered son could endure the pain and say this. “But the doctor said that you can’t get out of bed yet. Go back to bed and rest.”
…
The next morning, the sky was dark. The sun that peeked out was quickly enveloped by dark clouds. It rained heavily under the hazy sky, casting an unknown veil over today’s auction.
The two headlights cut through the hazy drizzle. The sound of the engine had long since drowned out the sound of the rain. A blue sports car slowly approached and stopped in front of the synagogue.
Someone among the reporters immediately shouted, “That’s Zhou Xuan’s car.”
Zhou Xuan got out of the car with an umbrella. The huge umbrella covered half of his face. His dark blue suit and sports car contrasted against each other, and one could only see Zhou Xuan’s perfect figure in their blurry vision.
The attendant beside him immediately bowed. “President Zhou, you’re here.”
Zhou Xuan nodded slightly in response and reached out to give him the umbrella. The attendant took it and looked at the reporters surrounding them. He asked in a low voice, “You can directly take the VIP passageway and avoid this group of reporters.”
Just as Zhou Xuan was about to respond, the reporters swarmed over and surrounded him. The cameras immediately aimed at him. The dazzling flashes were especially arrogant. A reporter directly extended a microphone in front of him.
“President Zhou, are you confident about today’s project?”
“I heard that you paid someone to kill Dong Yan. Is that true?”
Zhou Xuan glanced sideways coldly. “I’m sorry, I won’t respond to this matter.”
“Are you not going to respond, or is this the truth? That’s why you can’t respond.” The reporter’s tone was provocative, as if he wanted to provoke the truth.
However, before Zhou Xuan could say anything, the roar of a car interrupted them. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a car belonging to the Tang family slowly approaching. Without looking, he knew that the person sitting in the car was Tang Li.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Xuan handed the car keys to his assistant and entered the hall.
There were many people present, most of them in charge of leading companies. As the chairman of the Zhou Corporation, there were naturally people who took the initiative to talk to him.
After a few polite words, Tang Li stood in front of Zhou Xuan. Their eyes met. There was no fear or retreat. Their eyes were daggers drawn.
Tang Li was the first to laugh. “President Zhou, you’re so imposing. You look like you want to eat me up.”
“It takes one to know one.” A trace of coldness flashed across Zhou Xuan’s eyes. His lips were slightly covered as he smiled casually. “President Tang is also easy to scheme.”
Scheme? Tang Li skipped the word and said disdainfully, “In terms of scheming, who in the entire Federal City can beat President Zhou? However, I wonder who can win this project today.”
“Let’s rely on our own abilities.”
Without much expression, Zhou Xuan turned around and walked towards his seat.
Zhou Xuan and Tang Li’s seats were arranged on both sides of the hall. Due to the Dong family’s forfeiture, the seats in the middle of the venue were empty.
Zhou Xuan walked to the front and realized that there was someone else sitting beside his seat. It was a very familiar woman.
Shan Yue? The first name that flashed through Zhou Xuan’s mind. When he got closer, he realized that his guess was sufficiently confirmed.
