Chapter 182 Zhou Hongwei

At this moment, Team Leader Zhou Hongwei was still flying into a rage in his office; the phone on his desk had been ringing for a long time, but it failed to catch his attention.

"Damn! Dammit, dammit, dammit! Do you really think I care about you? If I hadn't thought highly of you, do you think you'd have the qualifications to stand before me?!"

"Do you really think it's still the past? Do you really think you're something? If you piss me off, I'll use a nuke to wipe your whole damn mountain off the map!"

Team Leader Zhou Hongwei's Face turned pale with rage, and he didn't calm down for a long while.

He naturally knew that what he said was impossible to achieve; putting aside the repercussions, the Family would never let him do such a thing, but this also indirectly showed just how powerful the Zhou Family was.

Team Leader Zhou Hongwei calmed himself down again, and only then did he notice the phone that had been ringing incessantly.

He picked up the phone and glanced at it with an impatient expression, but when he saw who was calling on the log, the impatience on his Face faded slightly.

He composed his emotions before answering.

"Hello, Grandfather, what is it?"

"How many times have I told you? Use my title when we are at work!"

"Yes, Title Zhou... no, Number Three, what are your instructions?"

"Is your work in Binhai going smoothly?"

"Everything is going smoothly. It's just that the people in this barbaric place are a bit unruly. Of course, that's nothing; I have plenty of ways to keep them in line."

"You, oh you, what should I say about you? You must remember that we serve the people. We are the servants of the people. Don't think you are superior to others. With great power comes great responsibility. The higher you sit, the more you must lower your posture!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you are right to lecture me." Although Team Leader Zhou Hongwei was very annoyed by this rhetoric, he still pretended to listen patiently, acting as if he loved hearing it.

Hmph, it sounds nice, but serving the people?

If it were in the past, this rhetoric might have actually been implemented and practiced.

But now, Team Leader Zhou Hongwei wanted to say that it was just something to listen to for amusement.

No way, no way. Does anyone really think that I worked so hard to climb to such a high official position just to serve ordinary people?

I climbed up here just to throw my weight around!

It's just that one can't say it so bluntly. Those who understand, understand. The necessary Face-saving work still needs to be done.

"Good, if you can remember these words, Grandfather will be satisfied. The position of head of the Zhou Family will sooner or later be passed on to you."

Hearing this, the originally furious Team Leader Zhou Hongwei couldn't help but become excited and thrilled.

"Grandfather, no, Number Three, are you saying that my dad...?"

"Look at you, being impatient again," that voice said.

"No, no, I just mean, why isn't my dad the one to serve as the head of the Zhou Family? Did something happen to him?" Team Leader Zhou Hongwei's tone held irrepressible joy, though he forced himself to hold it back and even pretended to let out a hint of crying.

"He has indeed had some trouble recently. Previously, a Huaguo cultivator returned from the island nation, and he authorized the launch of a missile without permission. Although it didn't lead to any major consequences, he has already been detained by the higher-ups for investigation. If there are no surprises, even if they don't find anything, his current position is effectively over."

"In the future, our Zhou Family will have to rely on you."

"That's great—I mean, my dad has been too overworked before, so taking this opportunity to rest is fine too."

Speaking of this, Team Leader Zhou Hongwei couldn't help but feel curious and surprised; the cultivator who returned from the island nation had been blown up by his old man's missile.

Upon hearing his grandfather say his dad launched a missile, he subconsciously assumed that the person had already been blown to death.

And recently, a matter he had been handling was also related to the island nation. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?

"Number Three, what was the name of the person who was blown up?"

"Blown up? Who told you that person was blown up? If he had really been blown up, your dad wouldn't have been placed under investigation!"

Team Leader Zhou Hongwei's eyes widened. Not blown up? How is that possible!

"You might know that person; his name is Jiang Chen, and he is from Binhai. The previous grave at Nameless Mountain was related to him. Now, we have also received news that he might be related to the Maoshan Sect. Sigh, otherwise your dad wouldn't have..."

"I called this time because of him. Because of your dad's affair, he might vent his anger on us, the Zhou Family. Although he doesn't know the specific news yet, it is better to be careful. In these two days, you should return to the capital first... Hmm? Hongwei? Hongwei? Did you hear me?!"

Team Leader Zhou Hongwei really couldn't hear the rest of the words; to be precise, he was too scared to hear the rest.

When he heard that the person his dad had bombed was Jiang Chen, and that he hadn't been blown up but had returned safe and sound, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Afterward, he saw an even more terrifying scene.

Because the protagonist of their phone conversation, Jiang Chen, was now standing alive and well right in front of him, though he didn't know when he had arrived!

He had seen photos of Jiang Chen; the person standing in front of him, looking at him with a cold sneer, was exactly the same as in the photo!

Who understands, Family? The horror of one's own dad just bombing someone, and then that person showing up safe and sound to find you.

"Jia-Jia-Jiang, Jiang Chen, why are you here?" Team Leader Zhou Hongwei let out a dry laugh and pretended to hang up the phone nonchalantly.

"You have quite a good relationship with Chief Number Three, huh? He even called specifically to greet you?" Jiang Chen's voice was icy.

"This, the Chief is just concerned about us..."

"Then tell me, shouldn't I settle this score with you too?"

"Jiang Chen, the matter of you being bombed by a missile has nothing to do with me!"

"A father's debt is paid by the son. Haven't you heard of that?"

Rip!

Team Leader Zhou Hongwei suddenly tore off a corner of his clothes with force. Due to his nervousness, he used too much strength and tore the entire garment off directly.

"I will now sever ties with that old bastard! I am breaking off our father-son relationship! He is not my dad, and I am no longer his son!"

Jiang Chen: "..."

He didn't expect that this Team Leader Zhou Hongwei would be so decisive when it came to critical matters.

Jiang Chen couldn't be bothered to look at his hypocritical appearance and casually slapped him.

Slap! Boom!

Two sounds rang out in succession. Team Leader Zhou Hongwei's body flipped twice and a half in the air before being fiercely imprinted onto the wall. The force was so great that the entire building shook.

Although Team Leader Zhou Hongwei had some cultivation, this bit of cultivation was as good as nothing in front of Jiang Chen.

"Go tell your words to my palm."

After landing this slap, Jiang Chen finally felt the pent-up anger in his heart subside a little.

This guy had been chattering away on the phone earlier, which was annoying. Only now, when he quieted down, was he not so annoying.

Of course, this was still not enough. Whether it was Team Leader Zhou Hongwei's damn cheap father, or that Number Three playing in the name of the "Zhou Family," he didn't want to let any of them off.

Jiang Chen grabbed the half-dead Team Leader Zhou Hongwei, and his figure flew straight out of the window.

...

(Good night)
