Chapter 484: Almost Caused Amnesia

"Arrested? Locked up in the station?"

Fang Linxuan: ???

"Are you sure you didn't hear wrong?" He grabbed his assistant by the collar and said through gritted teeth, "Damn it, this is absolutely outrageous... Does Sohar not want us to invest here? Doesn't he know I'm planning to launch a ride-hailing business here?"

The assistant felt a wave of suffocation and managed to choke out, "I... I'm currently communicating with the authorities..."

"Damn it!"

He shoved the assistant away violently, his gaze locked tightly on Zheng Qian and the Vanekto standing behind him. It definitely wasn't Zheng Qian's doing; that only left the burly Arab man behind him—a veritable humanoid tyrannosaurus.

"Do you know who I am? You're also from Jiuzhou, right?"

Fang Linxuan approached Zheng Qian viciously and pointed at the remains of the phone on the ground with a sardonic smile, "It's pitch black, and you're telling me it's 24K pure gold? And you won't pay, but instead want to beat me to death? Who the hell do you think you are? Let me tell you, if I reveal my identity, it'll scare the hell out of you!"

Zheng Qian maintained his indifferent expression but nodded very seriously.

"Don't tell me who you are; I have zero interest. It's no longer 24K pure gold; it's PT998 pure platinum. Every single part, from the inside out, is PT998 platinum. Furthermore, the price isn't 3.8 million USD anymore; it's 10 million USD. If you dare to blabber one more word, I'll add a zero to the end."

What is the highest level of extortion?

Today, Zheng Qian gave Vanekto a vivid lesson.

High-purity PT998 platinum, my foot. It was just the most basic model he'd bought for a few hundred dollars.

It was truly lying through his teeth! The most critical part was that Zheng Qian didn't even blush or skip a beat; he was righteous and indignant, and his whole expression made it seem as if it were truly the case, beyond any doubt.

"Heh, that's hilarious. Let me tell you the truth: I'm a member of the Shanghai Americas Club."

Fang Linxuan tugged at his tie, sat brazenly in front of Zheng Qian, and said disdainfully, "I bet you don't even know what the Shanghai Americas Club represents. And let me tell you, I have official backing here. I was brought here for investment by the highest administrative official of this city, Prince Rahman of Sohar, you understand? You're in deep trouble!"

Hearing this, Zheng Qian finally laughed, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and looked at him:

"I've discovered that you really aren't afraid of spending money; it's now 100 million USD. However, for the following answers, I can give you a freebie; I want to ask a few small questions. What's the difference between your Shanghai Americas Club, the Songshang Club, and the Chunshen Club?"

"Or rather, what are the entry standards for accepting members?"

"Since Chairman Zhu Hongfu is the richest man in Jiangnan, why is it so hard for him to get into the club?"

Fang Linxuan was stunned; he hadn't expected Zheng Qian to be so knowledgeable about the three major clubs.

But that was even better! It showed that he knew how powerful the clubs were!

"Heh, you little brat, I didn't expect you to know this?" Fang Linxuan sneered, lit a cigarette, pointed at Zheng Qian's nose, and said, "Our three major clubs represent the top-tier circle of the wealthy in JZH. What's important isn't the 'wealthy,' but the 'circle.' Do you think just anyone with a little money can get close?"

"The Shanghai Americas Club where I belong naturally consists mostly of members with overseas backgrounds, and most of them have strong backgrounds in the United States—it's not something you can imagine! The Songshang Club mainly focuses on JZH and has many emerging industries. The Chunshen Club is local to Shanghu and mostly consists of old-school giants... Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Fang Linxuan waved his hand impatiently. Why was he saying all this?

He turned back to his assistant and said, "How about it, have you contacted the authorities? Tell them to hurry up and release the people like obedient dogs, and lock this little brat up! Damn it, give him a life sentence!"

Just then, the store manager walked over with some people.

He held an ashtray out in front of Fang Linxuan and said coldly, "Sir, please put out your cigarette. This is a smoke-free mall, and because of your behavior, you have already affected the shopping experience of other customers."

Fang Linxuan: ???

He looked around. In the entire Victorias Secret store, besides him, Zheng Qian, and a few bodyguards, where the hell were any other customers shopping? Wei Rusi and Cheng Qinglian were inside changing clothes and hadn't even come out yet!

Most importantly, he wasn't the only one smoking!

"What about him? Isn't he smoking?"

Fang Linxuan pointed at Zheng Qian and shouted.

"Who? I don't see anyone." The manager glanced at Zheng Qian, then turned back to face Fang Linxuan.

"Got a light? My lighter is acting up." Zheng Qian flicked his lighter.

"Yes, sir."

The manager immediately took out a lighter specially prepared for VIPs from his pocket, offered it with both hands, and lit it for him personally.

Fang Linxuan: ??????

"Hubby~ Look at me, do I look good in this... Ah! Why are you guys still here!" Cheng Qinglian appeared, happily wearing an extremely alluring Victorias Secret outfit, and was just about to strike a seductive pose when she saw Zheng Qian still sitting there brazenly.

She screamed repeatedly and hurriedly grabbed a few pieces of lingerie to try to cover herself.

Cheng Qinglian was embarrassed and angry, and she shouted coquettishly, "Hubby, hurry up and make them leave! And is that bitch also in there changing clothes? You were looking at that bitch with a weird look earlier; make her get out!"

Just then, Wei Rusi also walked out.

She wasn't as brainless as Cheng Qinglian; she had put on her regular clothes over the top, so there was no exposure at all. All that was visible were those exceptionally eye-catching long legs.

"Bitch! What did you say?"

Wei Rusi was instantly enraged by this, her icy gaze snapping toward her.

"Tell her to stop hiding and come here."

Zheng Qian was truly annoyed now, and he turned to say to Vanekto.

The latter bowed slightly and then strode toward Cheng Qinglian.

"Don't you dare!"

Fang Linxuan stood up abruptly, trying to block him.

Vanekto didn't even think about it; he backhanded him across the face. Fang Linxuan instantly felt stars circling his head, blood streaming from his nose, and he was slapped directly back onto the sofa, unable to collect his thoughts for a long while.

He even briefly forgot where he was.

A single slap, almost slapped into amnesia!

"You... what are you doing..."

Seeing this situation, Cheng Qinglian didn't dare to move around anymore.

She could only let Vanekto grab her wrist and drag her all the way to Zheng Qian.

Cheng Qinglian's mood was extremely complicated now. First, she knew she had run into a tough opponent. Second, it was Zheng Qian's gaze. She was very accustomed to the greedy gazes of men, but Zheng Qian's was not like that.

His gaze was very cold, very cold.

Like a sharp blade, bone-chilling.

It made one's spine run cold.

Fear, trembling.
