"Zi Cong? Have you found Wen Zicong?" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
As soon as the two reached the lobby, Wen Yonglin and Wen Xiangyong hurriedly came forward to ask. Wen Xiaowei and Qi Shihan were also worriedly waiting for news, not having slept, standing in the living room. Their faces were filled with expectation as they awaited Wang Hao’s answer.
"He was rescued by the police, and after everything was taken care of, someone should have brought him back."
Wang Hao replied with a smile.
He was about to introduce everyone to He Peng, but when he turned around, he noticed that the latter was ogling Wen Xiaowei and Qi Shihan unashamedly.
Wang Hao’s expression darkened and he immediately stood between He Peng and the two girls, blocking his gaze.
"This is He Peng, the expert Shen Bo called in for help! Let him tell you the details."
Wang Hao said.
"Hello, everyone!"
He Peng greeted everyone politely, but his gaze kept drifting towards Wen Xiaowei and Qi Shihan.
No matter where He Peng’s eyes wandered, Wang Hao instinctively stepped in front of him, preventing him from staring at the two beauties.
"Maybe we should talk in the study, it’s quieter there!"
Seeing He Peng’s roving eyes, Wang Hao felt it improper to continually interject, so he led He Peng toward Wen Yonglin’s study.
"Good, Reverend, please follow me to the study to discuss the matter in detail!"
Wen Yonglin also agreed with Wang Hao’s suggestion, the fewer people knew about this matter, the better.
He Peng, still reluctant to part with the sight of the two beauties, was nonetheless forcefully pushed into the study by Wang Hao, without any resistance.
He Peng might outclass Wang Hao in the doctrines of The Church, but when it came to strength, even ten He Pengs combined would probably be no match for Wang Hao.
After futile struggling, He Peng obediently entered the study on his own.
"Haha, this young man is really strange, isn’t he? He looked quite comical just now!"
Qi Shihan couldn’t help but laugh.
Wang Hao couldn’t help but give a wry smile, wondering why he didn’t let He Peng look at them. Just a glance wouldn’t take a piece off them.
Was he jealous? He wouldn’t allow other men to stare at ’his’ women like that. It seemed... there really was a sour feeling.
Before long, Wen Zicong was brought back home by the police, looking extremely disheveled and dirty.
"Zicong, where on earth did you go? How did you end up like this?"
Seeing Wen Zicong’s disheveled appearance, Wen Xiaowei immediately stepped forward with concern and asked.
The two had been without their mother’s companionship since childhood. As an older sister, Wen Xiaowei might sometimes be fierce, but she was always concerned about her younger brother and loved him dearly.
It’s like the common saying, one can bully their own brother, but outsiders can’t touch a hair on his head.
"I’m not sure what happened. I was woken up by the police, and when I came to, I found myself lying on the roof of the old dormitory building at school."
"But how I got there, why I went there, I really don’t remember a thing!"
Wen Zicong touched his head, a look of confusion on his face, as if he had just had a very odd dream.
"And what’s with the doll in your room?"
Wang Hao asked.
"Who let you into my room? It’s none of your business!"
As soon as Wang Hao spoke, Wen Zicong immediately switched to a hostile demeanor.
He probably still harbored resentment from being beaten up so badly by Wang Hao at the Peninsula International Hotel.
"Speak up!"
Seeing Wen Zicong lose his temper at Wang Hao, Wen Xiaowei immediately scolded and stopped him.
"It was a gift from Cheng Lei!"
Under Wen Xiaowei’s pressure, Wen Zicong reluctantly confessed.
Cheng Lei and Wang Hao certainly remembered each other; back in the small town, this bastard competed with Wang Hao for Zhou Yingying, only to end up being swindled by a partnership between Wang Hao and the Sun Family brothers. They also taught him a severe lesson.
Last time Wang Hao fought Wen Zi Cong, it was also because Wen Zi Cong stood up for Cheng Lei.
But what Wang Hao couldn’t figure out was, how did Cheng Lei come to possess the puppet? Could he be connected to Xing Hua as well?
"How could Cheng Lei have a puppet? Where did he get it from?"
Sensing he couldn’t figure it out by himself, Wang Hao found it more convenient to directly ask Wen Zi Cong.
"How would I know? That kid is always messing around outside, he’s got too many contacts!"
With Wen Xiaowei by his side, Wen Zi Cong was much more honest and answered all of Wang Hao’s questions.
However, after saying these things, Wen Zi Cong seemed to remember something else and continued speaking.
"I heard Cheng Yin is coming back, and he’s bringing two experts with him. I wonder if it’s those two stirring up trouble!"
"What is Cheng Yin coming back for?"
Wen Xiaowei frowned slightly upon hearing this name.
Cheng Yin was a person Wang Hao also remembered; after beating up Cheng Lei in the small town, Cheng Lei claimed his father was Cheng Yin.
When the name Cheng Yin was mentioned, even Elder Sun’s face changed color; he must be a significant person.
"Who is this Cheng Yin?" Wang Hao curiously asked.
"Cheng Lei’s grandfather was a military officer, so their family used that connection to move all of Cheng Yin’s business to the capital a few years ago."
"If they hadn’t left Zao City, then it wouldn’t be just the three big families, there would be four big families."
Wen Xiaowei explained.
Wang Hao was surprised upon hearing this; he hadn’t realized he’d previously offended such an influential figure.
Think about it, if just their economic strength was already on par with the three big families of Zao City, and on top of that, they had military connections,
if Cheng Yin hadn’t left Zao City, they might have become a dominant power in the city long ago, suppressing the other three families underfoot.
Fortunately, Cheng Yin had moved his business elsewhere.
But since he had already relocated and settled down, why would he come back? It couldn’t be that he was coming back to seek revenge for his son Cheng Lei? If that was the case, Wang Hao would have to be more cautious when he went out in the future.
And having heard that Cheng Yin brought back two experts, what exactly were these experts here for? Wang Hao would have to remain vigilant about this in the days to come.
"The good thing is, he’s still okay. Deal with the puppet in your room promptly or burn it, and don’t play with these things anymore, they’re very dangerous!" Wang Hao warned.
The white powder contained within might be drugs; they needed to dispose of it quickly, or else Wen Zi Cong’s life would be over.
"Hmph!"
Wen Zi Cong huffed coldly and turned to leave. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
This time Wen Xiaowei didn’t scold Wen Zi Cong, because for a moment she truly thought her brother might not return.
She was already overjoyed that Wen Zi Cong had come back unharmed; there was no memory left to scold him.
"Brother Wang Hao, I really can’t thank you enough for this time!"
Wen Xiaowei knew Wang Hao had exerted a lot of effort this time and wanted to ease the relationship between Wen Zi Cong and Wang Hao.
"I’ll tell the kid later that it was you who saved him. Zi Cong is a very grateful child; he will be extremely thankful to you."
"I think it’s better not to, let’s not have him recall this incident. If he actually remembers something, it might scare him!"
Wang Hao waved his hand and declined Wen Xiaowei’s kind offer.
Wen Xiaowei thought about it and felt it made sense. Now that Wen Zi Cong remembered nothing, that was a good thing; at least he could continue living carefree. So, Wen Xiaowei didn’t insist further.
