Chapter 903 Qian Li’s Retaliation
In the martial arts world, some senior members had not made any progress for a long time. Therefore, they now placed their hopes in the Kunlun Immortal World. There were many martial artists like this.
Finally, more than 10,000 people had entered the channel, leaving only more than 30 ordinary people around Daofu.
Having seen all those martial artists who could actually fly, these people were all stunned. They also became very excited about going to the Kunlun Immortal World.
Daofu cupped his hands to Zhang Han and said, “Mr. Zhang, I’ll take my leave. When I come back to the Kunlun Immortal World, I’ll inform Zhang Mu of what I’ve seen, heard, and everything you’ve asked me to tell him.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Senior Daofu.”
Zhang Guangyou cupped his hands in return.
“It’s nothing. Now, I’ll take my leave.”
A smile appeared on his face, and he jumped into the mouth of the spring along with the people around him.
“Splas.h.!.+”
As they dived, the water at the mouth of the spring suddenly boiled for three seconds. A moment later, the weird energy vanished and the water became calm again.
Zhang Han’s soul sense had covered the entire Kunlun Mountain the whole time.
After carefully observing their departure, especially the moment the pa.s.sage was opened, Zhang Han finally came to a conclusion—
The entire mountain range was the pa.s.sage to the Kunlun Immortal World.
“Now, the martial arts world will be desolate. Once again, Wu Dao Grand Masters will become relatively rare martial artists. Most of the G.o.d Realm and Earth Realm martial artists will stay in the Ancient Mine to seek opportunities. They won’t come out unless some top-cla.s.s relics are found.”
Sect Leader Mu shook his head and said, “I also plan to return to the Seven Harmony World and do closed-door training to comprehend the moves I just learned.”
“Then I’ll go back and do some study, too,” Sect Leader Jiang said with a hearty laugh.
During the few days the two stayed in Mount New Moon, they frequently went to compare notes with Zhang Han. On the third visit, Zhang Han didn’t even bother to meet them but directly sent them books on several secret skills.
He told them that they should learn the skills by themselves before coming to him to practice the skills.
So now, they decided to head back and study the skills.
“Let’s go.”
Zhang Guangyou patted Zhang Han on the shoulder, then said, “I’ll settle down in Mount New Moon from now on. In the last couple of days, I didn’t get to teach Mengmeng martial arts. Anyway, she has learned many techniques that involve the use of legs. Mengmeng is really a quick learner. In two years or so, I wouldn’t have much left to teach her.”
“Then why don’t you cut back the lessons per week? Try prolonging the teaching session for each move.”
From the look on his father’s face, Zhang Han already understood that he wanted to teach Mengmeng how to cultivate.
But Zhan Han would not allow that.
Zhang Han still wanted to teach her that by himself, so he indirectly turned his father down.
Hearing that, Zhang Guangyou patted Zhang Han’s shoulder with stronger force.
“It’s true that you’ve grown up enough and no longer listened to my ideas.
“Never mind. I’m glad to just teach her martial arts. Now, Mengmeng and I are closer to each other.”
Speaking of this, Zhang Guangyou started laughing.
“The little girl is much sweeter than my in-laws. She calls me grandpa. I’m always happy to hear that. Mengmeng’s p.r.o.nunciation is very accurate now. She is now fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Her primary school teachers are indeed great.”
“Yeah. And she has stopped calling me PaPa. Instead, she calls me Daddy.”
Zhang Han smiled.
He and Zhang Guangyou could both feel Mengmeng’s growth.
Zhang Han still vividly remembered that when he and Mengmeng first met, she was just a four-year-old little girl, and her voice was child-like sweet.
Now, she was less childish. She was starting to have her own opinions and had the tendency to grow more and more quick-witted.
Compared with a quiet girl, Zhang Han preferred the more lively and lovely one.
Of course, if he spoke those worlds out, Zi Yan would definitely roll her eyes again.
“Have a look at yourself! How could the girl you taught ever be gentle and refined?”
Zi Yan kind of had given up on the game. Seeing that Mengmeng and Zhang Han kept whispering something behind her back, she suddenly didn’t want to care anymore. She couldn’t let things go on like this.
Therefore, sometimes when Mengmeng misbehaved, Zi Yan did not discipline her much. Now, Mengmeng was almost seven years old, and her nature was almost all shown. It was also the time that her disposition would take shape.
Zhang Han took a look at his watch and found that it was half past 12.
It would almost be the time to pick up Mengmeng when he got back.
Zhang Han and the others then left the Kunlun Mountain Range and flew back to Xiangjiang. Sect Leader Mu and Sect Leader Jiang also set off with their men.
Jiang Yanlan still stayed in Xiangjiang. Mu Xue, like an attendant, followed Zhang Han here and there on business. When there was no task for her, she stayed with Zi Yan, carrying out her duty of protecting her master’s wife.
Zhang Guangyou and others went back to Mount New Moon.
Zhang Han, however, came to the company and went upstairs.
At this time, Zi Yan was in a meeting.
“Dongheng, how come there is the stealth of you and Wu Jiao being together in private? She is a married woman!”
Zi Yan’s tone was calm, but Sun Dongheng could tell that she was a little angry. She didn’t care about the private life of her company’s artists. Nor did she want to intervene in their normal love life. Their agents would take care of that. It was just that Sun Dongheng was Sun Ming’s son. So, he was kind of closer to Zi Yan. However, he actually went to get a room with a married woman. That kind of irritated Zi Yan.
Just at this moment, Zhang Han pushed the door open and came in.
There were about 20 people in the conference room. Seeing Zhang Han come in, they all greeted him. Sun Dongheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Boss.”
He stood up and scratched his head.
“What’s up? Did you upset Lady Boss?”
Zhang Han said casually, “You guys continue. I would just be here for a short while.”
Zhang Han motioned everyone to resume their seats. Then, he directly sat on the sofa beside the desk.
Zi Yan rolled her eyes at him grumpily. Yet, seeing that her husband had arrived, the anger in her heart ebbed a little.
“Tell me about it.” Zi Yan looked at Sun Dongheng.
“I-I didn’t do it.”
Sun Dongheng smiled bitterly and said, “I’m also aware that Wu Jiao is married. I never expect anything to happen between us. We’re just friends. She came to me to discuss a potential chance to cooperate. At first, I, she, and other three people were together. Later, we all drank some wine, and then I drove her back to the hotel.”
“You drove her back to her hotel and stayed in her room for three hours?” Zi Yan widened her eyes.
“I did stay for three hours, but I didn’t do it. I never crossed the line.” Sun Dongheng’s voice became lower, as though he was confessing some crime.
“Even if we believe what you said, others wouldn’t. It will be a blot on your reputation,” Zi Yan said crossly.
If the scandal was about him and any other ordinary star or popular star in the entertainment circle, it wouldn’t be a big deal as long as the woman was single. But in this case…
“I really didn’t touch her. She seduced me. I, um, contained myself and didn’t touch her.”
Sun Dongheng’s face turned red.
He felt very ashamed.
That day, Sun Dongheng drank some wine and let the alcohol get better of his sanity. The moment Wu Jiao turned on her charm, he failed to resist the temptation. As a result, he and she got in bed and did everything except the last step. But then, he saw a pink skeleton tattoo on Wu Jiao’s private part, which made him quite uncomfortable and unable to erect. In the end, the two just gave up trying.
After sobering up, Sun Dongheng also regretted it. He felt as if he had been set up. However, what was done was done. There was nothing he could do about it. Now the scandal was flying in the city, which gave him a big headache. Last night, Sun Ming almost spanked him.
“You’re a top-notch celebrity now, and you’ve always had a good reputation.”
Zi Yan frowned slightly and said, “You seldom have scandals. If you had a real girlfriend, it wouldn’t hurt, and we might even take the chance to hype things up. But now…”
“There should be someone deliberately controlling the public opinion.”
Sun Dongheng’s agent put out a doc.u.ment and remark, “All kinds of news are against Dongheng. Someone just wants him to be utterly discredited. If the scandal spreads, I’m afraid that the National Radio and Television Administration would have to take action.”
“What’s their agenda then?” Zi Yan thought for a moment and asked, “Are they targeting our company?”
It didn’t feel like it. None of the news reports criticized the Purple Moon Entertainment Company or anything. So, it must be the other possibility.
She looked at Sun Dongheng and asked, “Have you offended anyone lately?”
“Offended someone? No, I don’t think so.” Sun Dongheng was also confused.
“We’d find out if we do some investigation, wouldn’t we?” Seeing this, Zhang Han kindly reminded her.
“That’s the only option.”
Zi Yan was discouraged, and her tone sounded somewhat helpless.
She was also a little curious about the truth behind this matter. Originally, she wanted to solve this problem with the company’s resources. Well, the security group was also a part of the company. Yeah, that was it.
Therefore, she made a phone call. Ah Hu soon took his men out to investigate. Two hours later, they found something.
“It’s all Qian Li’s doing.”
Zhao Feng presented the answer.
“Qian Li has failed to find a suitable job in Xiangjiang. The Luo family has banned him, and his uncle has been in some trouble and been demoted. Qian Li is a pretty vindictive person. He has had his eyes on the Purple Moon Entertainment Company. The only thing he could do was to hire some people to stage the setup. That person is sort of crazy. How about we…”
At this point, Zhao Feng’s intention was quite obvious. There was already a trace of killing intent around him.
“Let’s give him a warning and drive him away,” Zi Yan thought for a moment and answered.
“Okay.”
Zhao Feng nodded and left the office.
Qian Li only did this because he didn’t know much about martial artists. If he knew a little, he would have long left Xiangjiang and wouldn’t want to take revenge at all.
Fortunately, he was just an ordinary person. Otherwise, Zhao Feng might have attacked him directly.
“Is this kind of an unexpected disaster for Sun Dongheng?” Zhang Han said with a smile.
“What unexpected disaster?” Zi Yan abruptly remarked, “Tell me, if you are tempted in the future, will you cheat on me, too?”
Why was he dragged into this?
“No.”
Zhang Han shook his head in haste.
What kind of joke was this? How could he dare to give her another answer at this point?
“I know you don’t have the guts. But if you ever do something out of line, I will take Mengmeng away from you.”
“It’s not because of this. Look, my wife is so beautiful. How could I have extra energy to think about any other woman, right?”
“You’ve got a smooth tongue.”
“It’s true. When we went to the Oscars, they all called you the most beautiful woman in the east, remember? My eyes went green with jealousy. I’m already too busy guarding against other men who want to steal you away from me.”
“…”
The two had some small talk and made some wisecracks.
After that, they went downstairs together and drove to the Dongli Elementary School to pick up Mengmeng.
“Daddy, Mommy.”
Mengmeng jumped into the car. When she saw that both of her parents had come to pick her up, she was delighted. But then, she heaved with a sigh.
“Alas.”
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Mengmeng’s dejected expression, Zhang Han didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he was also interested.
“It’s Ma Fei. We took the test today, but Ma Fei’s grades dropped a lot. We have been divided into different groups, and the groups will compete in the final exam. There are four groups. And the group with the best performance will be rewarded. But Ma Fei is already second from last in cla.s.s. Teacher Lu said that if my group wants to take first place, he needs to do better in the exam.”
It seemed that our cla.s.s monitor was quite worried.
She was not only in charge of the cla.s.s but also responsible to help other students get better grades. Of course, the chance to get rewards was always something Mengmeng wouldn’t miss.
If her group won, she could get the reward from the school and be praised when she went home. Zhang Han and Zi Yan would also take her out for ice cream and games. The rewards were quite abundant.
Mengmeng liked to spend time with Zhang Han and Zi Yan. So, she wanted to get first place. However, Ma Fei’s poor grades had become a drag on the performance of her group. For this matter, Mengmeng, the cla.s.s monitor, was troubled.
Zhang Han found it funny to see her doleful face.
