Chapter 40: Stomach Hot vs Six Hot
Time flew by quickly. After entering into autumn, it soon reached the end of October. Today was Halloween, and Qi Zhifan and Wei Han were just shopping when they saw that some shops were decorated with jack-o’-lanterns outside. Qi Zhifan’s complexion was a bit poor.
Knowing that he was afraid of ghosts, Wei Han secretly smiled and looked down at his watch again. “Odd Trouble, I have a mission tonight. It’s starting at six o’clock.”
Qi Zhifan brows wrinkled unhappily. “What are you going to do?”
“Just being a security guard for the rich. It’s nothing, don’t worry. Heheh, instead, big brother is a bit worried about you.” Wei Han laughed. “In a moment, you should go home first. Without me to accompany you at night and being alone, you should obediently hide in bed, and definitely must not come out, haha.”
Qi Zhifan: “……”
On top of the luxury yacht tonight, Mr. w.a.n.g, the boss of Qi’ao Enterprise, was hosting a masquerade for his baby daughter.
Qi’ao Enterprise had been developing smoothly in recent years. It was said that this year’s profits had hit a record high of 80 percent. Miss w.a.n.g was in her early twenties and, as a celebrity in the business world, she naturally attracted a lot of gentleman brothers who’d come here. There were also some young and promising company presidents who’d brought along their richly-attired female companions to attend.
All of them were influential business representatives or descendants of entrepreneurs who had a certain influence in S City and even in the country. Therefore, they also attracted some reporters. When they were on the yacht, the rush of reporters kept pressing the camera in their hands, afraid of missing some wonderful moment.
However, as soon as the ball started, the reporters were locked out.
In the past week, President w.a.n.g had often received threatening letters. His appearance was very calm, but in fact, it would be impossible to say that he was not panicking at all. Not wanting the outside world to know, President w.a.n.g had secretly contacted the police in private and asked them to investigate the matter.
So tonight, in addition to the rich and powerful President Zong’s personal bodyguards, there were also Wei Han and the other police officers to serve as security.
Wei Han and Jiang Chengrui stood in the doorway, maintaining order while checking for suspicious elements. But everyone wore masks and many bizarre dresses, such as witches fully-garbed in black, beautiful Snow Whites, vampire dukes revealing two fangs and so on.
The entire dance hall was filled with a strange atmosphere. No matter who Wei Han and Jiang Chengrui looked at, they were all very suspicious. Looking again, they all looked normal.
Suddenly, Jiang Chengrui beside Wei Han coldly snorted, “Hmph, that d.a.m.ned pervert really also came.”
When Wei Han heard this, his immediate reaction was that it was Pei Yuyang. “Where? Where?”
Jiang Chengrui pointed his finger forward to the left and spat out, “It’s that one over there wearing a vampire mask, the guy who’s laughing with a wretched face.”
Wei Han’s gaze followed it over. His figure was indeed similar. “Little Jiang, are you sure it’s him?”
“Yeah, I’d recognize him even if he turned to ash.”
Wei Han couldn’t help but deeply sigh. “Worthy to be called Young Master Pei. I see that he’s been talking with that man all along. Is it one of his older brothers?”
Jiang Chengrui nodded. “Should be. Following his older brother to join in the fun and conveniently fool around with other women.”
Wei Han heard this and was immediately surprised. “Little Jiang, don’t think this way ah. Maybe Pei Yuyang was forced by his father to come here. His father seems very fierce.”
“My sister is also very fierce ah. I haven’t dared to go home recently.” Once his sister Jiang Chenghui was brought up, Jiang Chengrui’s look changed. “Silly Han, Pei Yuyang and I simply aren’t of the same world. Perhaps, we shouldn’t have from the start…”
Wei Han hurriedly gave him a pat and interrupted his words, “Hey hey, why are you saying such demoralizing things! This isn’t like you, Little Jiang. Did something happen?”
Jiang Chengrui feebly shook his head. “No…nothing. Only, sometimes I feel too happy, but my heart becomes anxious instead.”
“Oh.” Wei Han considered: he seemed to have the same kind of feeling.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a gunshot echoed!
“Ugh…” Beside his daughter, President w.a.n.g let out an extremely painful, smothered groan. Clutching his bullet-pierced shoulder, his body tottered. And the bodyguard that had been in front of him the second before, had already been shot and fallen to the ground.
“Ah!” Miss w.a.n.g screamed. In an instant her face lost all color. She quickly supported President w.a.n.g, the expensive dress also staining with blood.
Upon seeing this, the bodyguards quickly protected the miss. Wei Han and Jiang Chengrui immediately rushed forward. There were a lot of police blocking off all the exits. Shouting loudly, they tried their utmost to control the roar and confusion of the crowd, telling them to get down and not to move.
“It’s that guy!”
Jiang Chengrui’s sharp eyes and clear judgment was even more precise and accurate in the critical moment. His finger pointed at the black-clothed man who was rapidly escaping out from among the crowd, and he rushed over with several other police officers.
Wei Han was also preparing to follow him. He knew that the gun-carrying man in black had seen Jiang Chengrui and them chasing over. They looked at each other, and then the man quickly turned his gun and fired a burst of shots in multiple directions. The frightened people scattered in all four directions, screams rising and falling in succession.
“Quickly get down!”
Seeing a tall man still standing upright beside him, Wei Han anxiously threw himself at him and pushed him to the ground.
On the other side, in the face of the incoming burst of bullets, Jiang Chengrui dodged and evaded, always advancing on the man in black. The man in black panicked and simply threw caution to the wind. He gritted his teeth and mercilessly opened fire. “Go to h.e.l.l!”
“Little Jiang!” Wei Han shouted nervously.
At this time, Jiang Chengrui couldn’t easily dodge. He slanted his body, but his right arm was still shot. Quicker than words could tell, Jiang Chengrui took advantage of the moment when the man in black was gloating and complacent, and his eyes turned cold. Lifting his foot, he sent the gun in the man’s hand flying with a kick. Then, he kicked again and mercilessly kicked into the man’s stomach.
The man in black fell to the ground and was immediately suppressed by the other police officers.
“Curlie! Are…are you alright? Does it hurt?”
Pei Yuyang immediately ran over and embraced the wounded Jiang Chengrui. Looking at Jiang Chengrui’s right arm with blood dyeing the black uniform in red, he was incomparably distressed.
The scene just now was really too thrilling. He was still wondering which police officer was so heroic when he looked up, and incredibly, it was his own sweetheart, his Curlie ah.
“It’s nothing, a little injury.” Jiang Chengrui shook his head and bit his lower lip.
“Little Jiang, youー”
Wei Han said, getting ready to go over. Who knew that the tall man beside him would pull him.
After the two of them stood up, Wei Han discovered that the man was really tall. He was definitely 1.9-something meters tall, and his stature was also good: wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, giving an intangible sense of security.
“Sir, is there anything else?” Seeing himself be pulled, Wei Han asked.
Who knew that in the next second, the man grabbed Wei Han’s other arm and then he lifted him horizontally off the ground, but also high above his head.
“……”
Wei Han’s face turned white with a “swish”. f.u.c.k! What kind of ghost skill was this ah? Both hands holding a person over your head?
The other people on the side all gaped: “……”
Wei Han deeply knitted his brows and was about to get angry when the man suddenly said, “Stomach Hot, it’s me.”
Wei Han: “……”
In the middle of the night, several ambulances came over. The doctors and nurses hurriedly put the seriously injured President w.a.n.g on the stretcher. The other injured policemen, including Jiang Chengrui, were also sent off in the ambulances.
Wei Han was a little worried about Jiang Chengrui, so he didn’t rush back to deal with this incident and took the police car to go to the hospital. Mr. “Six Hot” didn’t say a word, but insisted on going together with Wei Han.
After confirming that Jiang Chengrui wasn’t seriously injured and that Pei Yuyang was guarding him, Wei Han breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he go out of the hospital with “Six Hot”.
After taking off the mask, Mr. “Six Hot” had a grave and stern face, and the most eye-catching detail were his eyes: deep, black, profound and unfathomable, like a deep water whirlpool that made people unconsciously be drawn in with a glance and unable to move their eyes away.
Wait…wait a minute, this grim handsome guy was really Six Hot?!
“Leng Yan.”
The other party finally spoke, stretching out his hand and giving his real name.
Wei Han stared blankly and then shook hands with him. “H…h.e.l.lo, I’m Wei Han.”
“Yeah,” Leng Yan softly responded, cherishing his words like gold.
Wei Han’s brain took a turn. He suddenly recalled something, and astonished, said, “Surnamed Leng? And also appearing in that kind of ball. Could…could it be that you’re the president of that Leng Group?”
“Yeah.”
Wei Han: “……”
The Leng Group was a strong group that had been in business for many years and hadn’t fallen. The Leng family had a long history, and almost every member in the family had emerged as an elite. With broad vision and bold judgment, they had seized business opportunities, kept pace with the times, and continued to expand their own companies and gradually moved toward the international arena.
The Leng Group had achieved success in hotel, food, information media and other industries, but it was still mainly an architectural design company. It was said that the current president, less than thirty years old, was young but wise, with great design talent and business ac.u.men. He also brought great benefits to the company.
The books on business studies that Wei Han had read before had listed several successful domestic stories, including the Leng Group.
“f.u.c.k, you’re really Six Hot? You’re not trying to con me?” The more Wei Han thought, the more he was unable to connect the Leng Yan in front of him with that yellow-storm, mental case in the forum.
Leng Yan suddenly opened his leg and pointed his crotch out to Wei Han. That familiar hugeness immediately reminded Wei Han of “Six Hot” picture at the very beginning.
Wei Han was foolish, staring at Leng Yan for a good while. Seeing that his expression still hadn’t changed, he decisively nodded, “Well, you really are Six Hot. Goodbye.”
Voice not yet fallen, Wei Han turned and ran away.
Internet and reality were really very different from each other ah! The one he’d thought of as an “intimate male confidante” became the grim and reticent president at this moment, hehe.
