123: Chapter 123 Promise

"This is what I call enjoying the moment, do you understand?"

"Heh~"

Silent contempt.

Even though they bickered every day, they were the people who understood each other the best. They were also the ones who cherished each other the most. It was just that their way of getting along was different.

While Zhang Shan and Gu Nan were still bickering over there, Mr. Zheng had already started preparing to deal with Xia Wei.

Mr. Zheng brought his subordinates to a presidential suite in a hotel.

As they walked into the suite, Mr. Zheng, who usually put on a refined facade outside, revealed his true nature. Furiously, he threw all the decorations in the hotel room onto the floor.

"Damn it, damn it! Damn Xia Wei, who does she think she is, actually ignoring my words? She really doesn't know what's good for her. Since that's the case, I'll make you all know what happens when you offend me, Mr. Zheng."

In his rage, Mr. Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was twisted. The two subordinates following him were so scared that their hands trembled slightly, and their faces were completely drained of color.

Suddenly, Mr. Zheng turned his head to face them.

"You two useless pieces of trash. Taking money from our Zheng family, look at the crappy job you've done."

The two subordinates lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe loudly. They had been following Mr. Zheng for a long time and knew his temper like the back of their hand. They knew that if they dared to provoke Mr. Zheng right now, there would definitely be no good outcome. Although others praised Mr. Zheng for having a gentlemanly demeanor, they knew that was just a facade.

The real Mr. Zheng had a volatile temper and was moody. He was the most difficult person to serve. Moreover, he was petty and vengeful. They remembered one person who accidentally spilled wine on him, and he tortured that person to death.

"You two. Today, go and ambush her at Xia Wei's doorstep. As soon as she appears, grab her and bring her to me. I want her to know the consequences of offending me."

Mr. Zheng said viciously.

"This, this..."

His two subordinates didn't know how to take on this task. If Mr. Zheng had asked them to grab some random woman, they wouldn't have been worried at all. But now he wanted to grab the president of the Aolu Group. That was not someone to be trifled with. Moreover, Xia Wei must have experts protecting her. No matter how arrogant they were, they didn't dare to target Xia Wei.

"What? Looking at you like this, you don't seem very willing?"

Mr. Zheng cracked his knuckles, making them pop.

"No, it's not that, Young Master Zheng," one of the subordinates said tremblingly.

"Not that? Then go grab the person, what are you standing here for? To act as punching bags for me?"

The refined-looking middle-aged man swallowed his saliva and gathered his courage to speak.

"Young Master Zheng, it's not that we aren't willing to grab her. If you asked me to grab her secretary, that would be easy to talk about. As long as you give the order, we can bring her to you immediately. But this Xia Wei..."

"Oh? Then tell me, what's wrong with Xia Wei?"

Mr. Zheng looked at him coldly. It was as if if he couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, he might not live to see the sun tomorrow.

"Young Master Zheng, Xia Wei, she is now the president of the Aolu Group. Basically, everyone knows that. If she goes missing, public opinion will not let us off. Another point is that as the president of the Aolu Group, she must have bodyguards protecting her whenever she goes out. And those bodyguards are definitely well-trained. We might not be able to beat them."

"Heh~"

"You can't even handle such a small matter. And you're giving me so many excuses. You really are a useless piece of trash."

Slap!

Mr. Zheng slapped the middle-aged man across the face.

The middle-aged man covered his face, knelt in front of Mr. Zheng, and said tremblingly.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Zheng, it's my incompetence. This subordinate deserves to die!"

"Oh~ since you think you deserve to die, then go and die."

The middle-aged man was stunned. He didn't expect Mr. Zheng to not play by the rules. For a moment, he was frozen there.

"Hmph~ even if I gave you ten times the courage, you wouldn't dare to die."

Mr. Zheng raised his foot, preparing to kick him.

Ring ring ring.

The urgent ringing saved the middle-aged man's life. Mr. Zheng was on the verge of rage. When he heard the phone ring, he had the urge to smash the phone on the ground.

He took out his phone and looked. It was Hua Qing. He immediately straightened his appearance and cleared his throat, letting his voice return to its normal state.

"Haozi! I heard that you sent people to ask Xia Wei and the others for that batch of machines of mine?"

"Hahaha. Young Master Hua, your information is truly well-informed. I haven't even gotten the items yet, and you've already called me."

Mr. Zheng, having answered the phone, seemed like a different person from the exposed Mr. Zheng just now. Now he was gentle, refined, and full of gentlemanly demeanor.

"This is not because I'm well-informed, but because I'm quite concerned about you, so I want to know if I can get this batch of machines back?"

Although Hua Qing said it lightly, there was an unquestionable purpose in his tone.

Hearing Hua Qing's words, Mr. Zheng felt a little dissatisfied. Although your status in your family is higher than mine, this matter is something you asked me to handle after all. Why are you still being so overbearing? However, he couldn't show it.

"Look at what Young Master Hua is saying. Do you not trust my, Mr. Zheng's, ability? Rest assured. Within three days, I will definitely hand this batch of machines over to you completely intact."

Mr. Zheng's words satisfied Hua Qing. After all, the last time he asked him to handle this matter, he was hesitant and refused to help. Today, the strong medicine he prescribed for Mr. Zheng had just achieved his goal.

Sure enough, anger makes people lose their reason. Mr. Zheng had not yet realized that Hua Qing had set a trap for him, and he had jumped right into it.

"Alright. Then I will await your good news."

Hua Qing said, taking the opportunity to climb down the slope.

"Rest assured, within three days I will definitely get things done," Mr. Zheng said, patting his chest in assurance.

"I hope you don't misunderstand, don't let me down. Hmph~" Hua Qing sneered and hung up the phone.

Mr. Zheng stared blankly at the phone. In an instant, all his reason returned to his brain. Only now did he realize that Hua Qing had set a trap for him, and he had happily jumped into it. Since he had already promised someone else, he had to do it well. Otherwise, if he disappointed Hua Qing, he wouldn't be able to achieve his goals. He still needed to rely on Hua Qing in the future.

Don't look at Mr. Zheng as a member of the Zheng family, and his martial arts skills are decent. In fact, life in the Zheng family was not easy for him. After all, he was the second son of the Zheng family. Therefore, he was a dispensable existence in the family. If it weren't for his mother protecting him, he might not have lived until now.
