Chapter 45: Chapter 45: A Night of Wild Revelry
“Handling matters? But I was just talking to you, can’t you…” Mrs. Qi hadn’t finished her sentence when several men in black appeared by the riverbank.
The men in black were escorting someone with a covered head.
One of them walked up to Gu Wei, “Boss, this person wanted to take over our territory!”
Gu Wei was icy cold all over, his voice chilling, sending shivers down one’s spine.
“To try and take my stuff, the price is hefty—throw him into the river to feed the fish.”
“Yes, boss!”
The hooded man begged continuously, “Boss Gu, please spare me, I’ll never try to take your territory again, including all of yours.”
Gu Wei was unmoved, “It’s too late, throw him.”
The men in black picked up the hooded figure and threw him forcefully into the river; after a few splashes, he disappeared without a trace.
Witnessing the scene, Mrs. Qi was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, and then, a puddle of yellow liquid flowed out from underneath her. She couldn’t utter a single word.
Ah Xi’s boyfriend turned out to be a ruthless triad who killed without blinking an eye!
It was terrifying!
It seemed that it was only then Gu Wei remembered her, and he approached, “Auntie, what were you just saying to me?”
“Nothing, I didn’t say anything.”
“Didn’t you just say you wanted me to leave Ah Xi, to let her be with your son?”
“No, my son isn’t worthy of Ah Xi, we don’t want that, we can’t afford it!”
“Shall I take you home?”
“No need, I’ll go back on my own.”
“Alright, then take care, Auntie.”
With that, Gu Wei turned and walked away with the men.
Mrs. Qi glanced at the rushing river water. Once Gu Wei was far enough away, she crawled and rolled her way to the road, hailed a car, and hurried back to the hospital.
…
The first thing Mrs. Qi did was to find Qi Anran.
“Anran, it’s terrible! Ah Xi’s boyfriend, he’s a murderer, he… he killed someone.”
Qi Anran naturally didn’t believe it; although he wasn’t close to Gu Wei, he knew Gu Wei wasn’t likely to be a murderer.
“Mom, what nonsense are you talking?”
“Should we call the police? I saw him kill someone with my own eyes.”
“When did you see him kill someone?”
“Just half an hour ago.”
“What exactly happened?” Qi Anran asked.
Mrs. Qi explained the whole story.
Qi Anran, smelling the strong urine scent coming from his mother, was beyond frustrated, “Mom, you’ve been fooled, they were just putting on a show for you.”
“But, I saw the body sinking.”
“A dead body will float up; that’s common knowledge.”
“There are many that don’t float up, why else are many drowning victims never found?”
“Mom, I have to go, I’m at work.” Qi Anran was particularly disgusted with his own mother.
“So, we don’t need to call the police?”
“No!” @@novelbin@@
“What about Ah Xi…”
Qi Anran outright scared her, “They’ve already warned you, if you don’t take the hint, next time it will be for real.”
Mrs. Qi was still very scared.
Between her daughter-in-law and her own life, she decisively chose the latter.
She packed her things and returned to the countryside that very day.
…
Gu Wei was now sitting in Gu Cheng’s office.
Gu Cheng had Assistant Bai bring Gu Wei a cup of coffee; the two brothers sat and chatted while drinking.
Gu Cheng asked, “It’s been a long time since you’ve put on such a performance, hasn’t it? You appear honest normally, but you really get into character when you need to.”
Stirring his coffee, Gu Wei replied, “When on missions in the army, I had to act quite frequently. After enough practice, the acting skills improved. If I entered show business, winning an award wouldn’t be a problem.”
“I heard that old lady has already gone back to the countryside, she probably won’t bother Ah Xi anymore.”
“That’s good,” Gu Wei took a sip of his coffee.
“Called yesterday, Grandpa said you two are getting along well, but you need to talk to your mom.”
“I haven’t figured out how to put it yet, mainly because I haven’t figured out what’s on Ah Xi’s mind.”
“Is she still being hot and cold with you?”
Gu Wei nodded.
Gu Cheng sighed, “Ah Xi, this kind of girl had an unhappy childhood, so it’s inevitable that she would feel insecure as she grows up, be suspicious, and hide her feelings at the slightest provocation. You and her, you’ve got to take it slow. That’s the only way you’ll truly get to her heart.”
…
Evening.
Gu Wei went to pick up Su Meixi from work.
As soon as she got in the car, she curiously asked, “Gu Wei, what did you talk about with Mrs. Qi today? I heard that Mrs. Qi wet herself when she came back?”
At lunch today in the cafeteria, someone said that when Mrs. Qi came back today, her pants were all smelling of urine, and everyone was asking her if Gu Wei had scared Mrs. Qi, otherwise why would she wet herself?
Su Meixi didn’t believe Gu Wei was such a person, she always emphasized, “My boyfriend is very gentle, very polite to the elderly and children. Could something have happened to Mrs. Qi on her way back?”
Anyway, Qi Anran didn’t say, and nobody else knew what exactly happened.
But Mrs. Qi had already left the hospital to go home.
So, Su Meixi was particularly curious.
Gu Wei smiled, “I just showed her some military boxing moves, and that scared her off.”
“Really?” Su Meixi was skeptical.
“The old lady hasn’t seen much of the world, she probably thought I was some kind of unparalleled expert,” Gu Wei added.
Su Meixi was still skeptical.
At the same time, she found Gu Wei kind of amusing.
…
Han Ningzhen also heard about today’s incident.
She didn’t know the specifics, but having heard that Mrs. Qi got scared back to the countryside, she couldn’t help but scoff.
Useless thing!
After work was boring, so she went straight to the bar.
At this time, there were very few people in the bar, she ordered a cocktail and sipped it slowly.
As night fell, more people started coming into the bar and the DJ started his shift, the initial music wasn’t too explosive.
Two men in their thirties came over to hit on Han Ningzhen.
“Beauty, why alone? Where’s your boyfriend?”
Han Ningzhen glanced at them, “Broke up.”
“Ah, it’s just a man, don’t give up the whole forest for one tree, buddy can keep you company.”
Han Ningzhen sized them up, “Nice build, you guys aren’t gigolos, are you?”
There were often well-trained gigolos in the bar.
One of them said, “Of course not, I work in finance, my brother is in trade, all respectable. Beauty, wanna play a game?”
Han Ningzhen smiled, “Let’s play, who’s afraid?”
“Just you?”
“What? Am I not enough?”
“We two are especially fun, it would be even better if you could bring another beauty over.”
Han Ningzhen scoffed, then called Li Pingping.
Li Pingping heard it was to go to a nightclub and was scared to come, Han Ningzhen said to them, “Couldn’t find anyone, no choice.”
The two guys then started hitting on another girl in the bar.
Perhaps because the two men were wearing Rolexes, the girl quickly agreed to come play with them.
They left the bar, went to a nearby room, played dice, and whoever lost had to drink and strip.
Han Ningzhen was good at dice, but as time passed, the four of them ended up with no clothes.
What followed just happened naturally.
A night of wild fun!
