Does she simply prefer cold-blooded and ruthless people?
The heads of the families were listening to Zhou Cheng's words, but their minds couldn't keep up for a moment.
They looked at Zhou Cheng with confusion and doubt in their eyes, seemingly asking, "Zhou Cheng, are you sure you aren't joking?"
"In your description, the Dragon King Organization really sounds just like a criminal gang."
As for Zhou Cheng, after he finished speaking, he swept a faint glance over everyone, not at all surprised by the expressions displayed in the eyes of these Family heads.
First of all, they were all old. As leaders of families that developed from the rough and tumble era of the past, they had certainly committed various illegal and irregular acts during their rise.
Therefore, they did not feel that the Dragon King's actions were illegal or irregular.
Secondly, they were all characters in this short drama, and most likely belonged to the Villain faction—stepping stones for the protagonist to show off, background boards for the protagonist to pick up girls and slap faces, so they would naturally appear mentally deficient at this moment.
Another reason was that they felt calling the police was useless. For wealthy individuals like them, they had lawyers, money, and even some hidden connections behind the scenes, and the Dragon King was certainly the same.
Therefore, simple laws could not restrain the Dragon King.
But Zhou Cheng knew that in the world of short dramas, especially with an urban setting, calling the police to arrest people and using the law was the best way to deal with these Dragon King protagonists, bar none!
Because short dramas and novels require censorship, whenever police or other official departments are involved, they cannot be written as Villains. In other words, in this world, all police are on the side of justice!
They might not appear in the relevant short drama plot, but as long as they do, they will act according to the law and will never let things slide!
This was also one of the reasons why Zhou Cheng had always been a police officer at the police station; it was a place protected by the great god of harmony! It was also equivalent to a safe zone in the short drama world!
"Zhou Cheng, your idea is good, but it's a bit naive," the Old Master of the Li Family said.
The other Family heads felt the same.
Zhou Cheng knew what they meant, but they were people inside the plot, so they couldn't see the script.
Regarding this, Zhou Cheng couldn't be bothered to say more to them.
He kept his mouth shut directly, simply sat in his seat, drank tea by himself, and listened to this group of old men discussing this and that.
He opened the System; the System had just dinged, so there should be some news.
[System successfully parsed the script!]
["dragon kings return": Ye Chen, who had been apprenticed since childhood, was arranged by his Master to go down the mountain just after his twenty-third birthday. Holding eight Marriage Contracts, he would head to Shanghai to marry into the eight top wealthy families of Shanghai. Originally smooth sailing, he was humiliated by the Zhou Family! The reason for the Zhou Family's rise relied entirely on the Dragon King's Luck, but now they were ungrateful! Let us see how the Dragon King uses the dragon king token to dominate Shanghai...]
This...
He didn't expect it to be the plot analysis from last night, but the time required for this analysis was almost a full day slower than the previous script analysis.
It seems that the speed of the System's script analysis is related to the intensity of the script.
Zhou Cheng analyzed in his heart, then took a rough look at the script again.
Sure enough, the Zhou Family had once again become the biggest Villain in this drama.
Zhou Cheng felt it was ridiculous, but he was already used to it.
Subsequently, Zhou Cheng checked the notifications in the System's backend.
He claimed the rewards for arresting the Dragon King Emissary and the others last night!
[Host arrested the Dragon King Emissary and others, Reward: Top proficiency in Overlord Fist!]
[Overlord Fist: One of the martial arts used by the Dragon King's faction in the short drama "dragon kings return". At top proficiency, every punch will carry True Qi, which is very powerful.]
True Qi?
Zhou Cheng was slightly surprised, but then quickly accepted it.
In the short dramas of dragon kings return that he had binged in his previous life, the protagonist's punch Moves really were accompanied by some low-level special effects; was this the True Qi of the martial arts?
Zhou Cheng did not hesitate and chose to claim it directly. Then he felt a huge amount of ability pouring into the System, reshaping his body, and at the same time, a huge amount of energy, like a divine revelation, allowed Zhou Cheng to quickly Master the Overlord Fist!
After the energy dissipated and fully integrated into his body, Zhou Cheng compared the Overlord Fist with the Bagua Fist and the top-tier combat skills he had previously acquired.
He discovered that this Overlord Fist, which could unleash True Qi, was several times stronger!
It was fortunate that he had faced the Dragon King Emissary last night instead of directly facing the Dragon King. If he had faced the Dragon King, he might have been defeated by the Dragon King and become a stepping stone under the Dragon King's feet, a background board for him to show off.
He checked the System backend again and looked at his current police force value. Although it was nearly two hundred thousand, it was still not enough.
After formulating a plan to earn more police force value in his mind, Zhou Cheng closed the System.
...
When it was about time, the old men in the tearoom had finished chatting.
When he left, Zhou Cheng felt it was simply a waste of an afternoon.
This group of old men had chatted all afternoon without coming up with any solution, only concluding with a remark to wait until the dragon kings return to play it by ear.
This left Zhou Cheng speechless; if he had known, he wouldn't have come.
But then again, these old men were originally intended by the protagonist to be background boards for showing off; how could they possibly come up with any good ideas?
"This kid from the Zhou Family is still too young. After all, it's a newly risen Family. Although they have the Chen Family protecting them, Chen Xingyao died early, Zhou Yuanbo is incompetent, and the Zhou brothers are young and arrogant. The Zhou Family will definitely be the first Family to be wiped out after the dragon kings return."
"Who says otherwise? Just now we were discussing countermeasures, and that kid just sat there dozing off. He really doesn't know what's good for him!"
"Old Qin, your Qin Family is the closest to the Zhou Family. If you ask me, you should cut ties with the Zhou Family as soon as possible. With that kid Zhou Cheng there, the Zhou Family is bound to be destroyed by the Dragon King. Don't let the Qin Family's Family business get dragged down with them!"
The Old Family Head of the Yang Family said to the Old Family Head Qin on the side.
But these words did not receive a response from Old Family Head Qin.
At this moment, Old Family Head Qin also felt hesitant, confused, and worried.
However, his own precious grandson had been hooked by that girl from the Zhou Family and followed her around every day.
Moreover, he was the one who had personally gone to the Zhou Family to arrange the marriage.
It was not that simple to cut ties now!
"We'll see. I don't think Zhou Cheng is a reckless person," Old Family Head Qin said slowly.
The Dragon King is not to be trifled with, but is Zhou Cheng of the Zhou Family easy to trifle with?
...
After driving out of the Liu Family Manor, he drove towards the Chenyang Group.
When he arrived at the Chenyang Group, He Yubing was already waiting.
Zhou Cheng leaned against the car, watching He Yubing, who was wearing a gray-white professional suit and tapping slowly in high heels, without saying a word.
This He Yubing looked cold, always in work mode; he didn't expect her to have such a contrast.
Could it be that she doesn't like this or that, but just likes cold-blooded and ruthless people?
And his arrogance at the Board of Directors that day just happened to be a coincidence?
What kind of fetish is this?
"Second Young Master, are we going straight to the Haosheng Hotel?" He Yubing stood in front of Zhou Cheng and asked softly.
As for the photo sent this morning, she acted as if it never happened.
"Yes," Zhou Cheng nodded.
