I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 125

Su Shaoqing was someone who could never sit still. Anywhere there was a spectacle, he would go. He was always the type who would just watch excitedly from afar. Judging from Fu Chengyan’s actions today, Su Shaoqing could tell that the second master was really furious. He followed Zhou Zheng to the hall on the second floor.

The hall was filled with all those who had come to party at Prosperous Dynasty. Now that everyone was being kept here, they were naturally extremely unhappy, wondering what could have happened that ended up involving this many people. Those who weren’t allowed to leave, despite being regular customers, understood how grave the situation was.

A few wealthy young masters demanded an explanation, having never received such treatment before. But they were afraid of the man behind Prosperous Dynasty, so the most they could do was whine.

Meanwhile, Anna was already so frightened that she dared not say whatever she pleased. She could only tremble in fear while next to Shi Wei. “What should we do, Wei? Now…”

“You’re still talking?” Shi Wei glared at Anna, silently lamenting over how Anna had such a knack for screwing things up. “I told you since forever not to do anything reckless.”

“Forget it. Don’t berate her anymore,” Su Su quickly cut them off. “With so many people around, you might be heard!”

 

Right at this moment, Zhou Zheng walked over with Song Rongrong and Su Yian. But instead of inquiring around, they headed into the surveillance room to observe the audience’s reactions.

Since this matter was related to Shi Nuan, Song Rongrong and Su Yian naturally dared not slack off. They carefully watched every single person’s movements. Of course, they especially took note of Shi Wei and Anna.

 

Expectedly, Song Rongrong found something amiss soon enough. “Take a look at them, Mr. Zhou. Something’s not right about them!”

Song Rongrong pointed to Shi Wei and Anna. “Everyone looked angry and burdened, but these two look really strange. They look like they’re hiding something.”

Zhou Zheng looked towards the direction of Song Rongrong’s finger. He had to admit that as a journalist, Song Rongrong was very observant.

But Song Rongrong was rather troubled. “It’s too bad we can’t hear what they’re saying, otherwise we’ll know for sure whether or not it was them!” she said with a resentful expression. “Honestly, we know it was surely them, but we just don’t have any proof!”

“Proof?” Zhou Zheng let out a cold laugh and immediately made a phone call. “Turn on Mic 2!” Very quickly, they could hear a conversation from inside that hall. It was Shi Wei and Anna’s voices.

Song Rongrong pointed to Zhou Zheng, dumbfounded. “You can even do this?”

Zhou Zheng curled his lips. “What do you think Prosperous Dynasty is, Ms. Song?”

Song Rongrong opened her mouth, maintaining an ‘I am naive’ expression on her face. She had never been here, and thus naturally had no idea how Prosperous Dynasty operated. But she had heard bits and pieces about Prosperous Dynasty.

Everyone said that Prosperous Dynasty was owned by a huge figure who wasn’t one of Jiang City’s Big Four. No one knew who this prominent figure was, but this person was more than capable. Everything was just hearsay. But today, Song Rongrong had witnessed this place with her own eyes. “So you’re saying Chengyan is the big boss of Prosperous Dynasty?”

Zhou Zheng raised an eyebrow. “No.” Listening to the conversation from the other room, he frowned. “Take that one called Anna away.”

“Anna’s brother is An Chenyu,” Song Rongrong couldn’t help but remind Zhou Zheng. “Wouldn’t it be bad if you were to just take Anna away like that?”

Zhou Zheng smiled. “There’s nothing bad about it! Thank you for your efforts, Ms. Song and Ms. Su.” He maintained a polite and humble attitude all this while, which was rather different from his usual image. This was mainly because of Shi Nuan- he knew that these two women were her best friends.

“Oh, it’s no problem,” Song Rongrong said with a wave of her hand. “If there’s nothing else, can we leave?”

“Of course!” Zhou Zheng smiled. “I’ll have someone send you two home.”

“T-There’s no need! We can get back on our own!” Song Rongrong wasn’t a mild-tempered person, but she still knew when to behave appropriately. She knew Zhou Zheng was treating them favorably simply because of Shi Nuan. And seeing how Zhou Zheng still had work to do, they certainly didn’t want to bother him. “But could you tell us which hospital Shi Nuan is in, Mr. Zhou? We want to see her.”

“There’s nothing to worry about with Mr. Fu by her side. But if you’re worried, why not visit her tomorrow morning?” Zhou Zheng sounded polite, but Song Rongrong and Su Yian understood that the answer was ‘no’. “OK then!”

Right after sending Song Rongrong and Su Yian off, a subordinate came in and announced, “Mr. Zhou, Song Shen is here!”

“Oh? That’s fast!” Zhou Zheng raised an eyebrow. “I’ll go meet him.”

Song Shen was originally still tied up with other matters, but immediately pushed all his work aside and rushed over after receiving Liu Min’s phone call. Seeing everyone locked up in the hall on the second floor, Song Shen could tell how serious the issue was.

“I’m over here, darling!” Liu Min always insisted on putting on a tough act in front of everyone, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t afraid. Today’s incident had certainly frightened her. Seeing that Song Shen had come, her heart finally felt at ease. “Darling!”

“What’s going on?” Song Shen asked as he looked around. “Isn’t this supposed to be a party? What happened here?”
