Chapter 1816 You Haven't Seen It Yet
Clenching his fists tightly, Xu Zhi's mind was filled with Jiang Cheng's seemingly gentle but actually sinister face.
Feeling resentful yet unable to avenge himself, he instantly became so angry that he lost all his strength.
Finally, he collapsed heavily onto the chair.
The cigarette rolled from his fingertips onto the expensive carpet, burning a black hole, but he was completely unaware.
His chest heaved violently, each breath a burning pain, yet the overwhelming hatred did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, it intensified under the catalysis of despair.
His expensive custom-made suit was now completely wrinkled.
His eyes were bloodshot, making him look like a trapped beast cornered at the end of its rope.
Old Zhao's threat was still ringing in my ears.
Those powerful and influential people who lost money following him will not let this go easily.
He siphoned off 150 billion yuan of the Xu family's cash flow from their businesses; his father will find out sooner or later.
His only bargaining chip now is his extensive network of connections in Kyoto, the hidden forces that can suppress Jiang Cheng.
He suddenly raised his head, a glint of mad ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"Jiang Cheng...you won't let me live..." He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, drawing blood. "You won't get away with this either!"
He turned around, grabbed the satellite phone on the table, his fingers trembling slightly with excitement, but he pressed a number precisely.
"Immediately! Prepare a private jet for me right now, destination Kyoto! I want the plane ready on the tarmac in ten minutes! Anyone who delays even a second will be skinned alive!"
After giving the instructions, an extreme and dangerous thought popped into his mind.
He grabbed another phone that he almost never used and dialed a number with no saved name and noisy background noise.
"Hello? It's me. Jiang Cheng's courtyard house near Houhai in Kyoto, the exact location, security details... Yes, it's tonight."
Find a few more 'clean-handed' and 'daring' guys...wait for my news."
The roar echoed in the empty office, and the scorch marks from the cigarettes on the carpet grew larger and larger, much like his shattered life at this moment.
He hung up the satellite phone, staggered to his feet,
The roar of private jets will soon fill the tarmac, but
“Jiang Cheng…” Xu Zhi gritted his teeth, chewing the name to dust. “You think you can win forever just because you won for a while? You haven’t seen how deep the waters run in the Beijing entertainment circle!”
He grabbed his coat from the back of the chair and stormed out of the office without looking back.
The screen in my hand was still lit up.
The above is the last notification from the brokerage: forced liquidation completed, account liabilities of 237 billion yuan, and has been reported to the credit reporting system.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Wang Yuyan returned to the courtyard house.
When I got to the indoor pool, I ran into Xia Li standing quietly by the pool, her gaze fixed on the people in the pool.
She followed Xia Li's gaze and saw Jiang Cheng lying on his back on the water, his arms outstretched as he paddled.
Water droplets slid down her well-defined shoulders and neck, and the smooth lines of her waist and abdomen were faintly visible in the ripples of water.
Her toned abs rippled slightly with her movements, exuding a languid yet powerful sexiness.
Wang Yuyan walked over quietly and stood side by side with Xia Li.
Neither of them spoke; only the sound of the pool water flowed gently in the quiet space.
However, Wang Yuyan soon noticed that her ears were burning.
The main reason is that Jiang Cheng is simply too wealthy.
These swim trunks are a bit tight.
This isn't a big or small issue anymore.
They've all stood up...
So how long did Shirley actually watch this?
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Xia Li's profile was also faintly tinged with a blush, and that her cool temperament revealed a rare, almost imperceptible, unease.
It wasn't until Jiang Cheng flipped over and swam to the other side of the pool that Wang Yuyan came back to her senses, broke the silence with a smile, and took the initiative to speak: "Butler Xia, thank you for your hard work."
When Xia Li heard Wang Yuyan call her housekeeper, her brows twitched involuntarily.
She wasn't a sensitive person, but she always tended to overthink things when she was around Wang Yuyan.
Perhaps because Wang Yuyan's work overlapped with hers, she felt that her role became less important when Wang Yuyan was around.
"You're back? Do you need me to prepare something to eat?"
The moment Xia Li turned around, Wang Yuyan's gaze suddenly fell on the Bulgari necklace on Xia Li's V-neck maid outfit.
Upon closer inspection, her pupils even contracted almost imperceptibly.
Almost simultaneously, Shirley noticed her gaze and subconsciously shifted her body to the side, her shoulders slightly lowered, as if trying to hide the necklace around her neck more discreetly.
A faint blush rose to the base of her ears.
The fingers hanging at his sides twitched almost imperceptibly.
She's someone who's been through thick and thin, and she's long been used to hiding all her emotions beneath a veil of ice.
So even if he was panicking inside, he didn't show any panicked or evasive behavior on his face.
His back remained ramrod straight, only a very slight ripple flickered in his eyes.
This was the first gift she had ever received in her life.
Although Jiang Cheng said she was worthy, for some reason, now that the gift had been discovered, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless and unworthy.
This is probably just an inherent inferiority complex...
Jiang Cheng put it on her yesterday, and she took it off after returning to her room.
However, when Jiang Cheng came back just now, he asked her why she wasn't wearing it.
To avoid making Jiang Cheng overthink things, she only put it on tonight.
This subtle dodge instantly made Wang Yuyan realize the truth.
As someone who has worked as a butler for high-end villas.
She said that luxury goods naturally require some research.
Although those in their line of work may not be able to easily afford luxury goods, they still need to understand them.
After all, you mainly serve high-end customers.
Not only do they have to take care of the customers' daily needs, but sometimes they even have to keep their valuables safe.
So at a glance, Wang Yuyan recognized that this was not a Bulgari necklace that cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
It's their brand's Bulgari Divas' Dream collection.
This series of necklaces features gemstones and diamonds, so they are generally designed to be quite ornate.
It's not an everyday item, so its price is relatively high.
It generally ranges from 50,000 to 200,000 yuan.
Those of them who work as high-class housekeepers are most particular about being low-key and proper.
Given Jiang Cheng's status, Xia Li's salary certainly wouldn't be low.
Wearing a Bulgari that costs 20,000 yuan is not a big deal.
Even if someone has a high salary and can afford luxury goods, they would never wear such a luxurious necklace that costs tens of thousands of yuan while at work.
There's only one explanation for why Shirley could openly wear this necklace while holding the position of butler.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Cheng's gaze was precisely fixed on Jiang Cheng, who was swimming back and forth in the pool.
A complex scrutiny flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his gentle demeanor and said calmly, "No need to trouble yourself, I already ate outside."
After speaking, Wang Yuyan naturally reached out and took the bath towel that Xia Li had prepared.
Has Jiang Cheng eaten?
Following Wang Yuyan's gaze, Xia Li glanced at Jiang Cheng in the pool, then nodded slightly.
His voice was calm and indifferent, revealing no emotion: "Young Master Jiang has already eaten, so I'll go and rest now. Please call me if you need anything."
