Xie Zhuzhou looked so serious that it was as if he wasn't going to play, but rather to carry out a difficult mission.
Ji Wangchen say whether to punish them or not. He released the two of them. "The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Hollow City project will be completed before the New Year. You'll have to come there with me to cut the ribbon. As for the cruise ship, be careful."
To be precise, the Hollow City project was a deal Xie Zhuzhou made with Ji Wangchen so he could skip class and visit Chu Yanzhang. A while had passed, Xie Zhuzhou almost forgot about it, his mind blank for quite some time before he began to think about how to refuse his older brother's request.
"I want to go on a cruise too! I heard Uncle is going too!" Energetic Ji Wangyun felt as strong as an ox. Hearing that his bullying younger brother was going to cause trouble again, how could he miss it? He looked at Ji Wangchen with starry eyes, but Ji Wangchen didn't even give him a glance, as if to say: Go to work properly and don't try to slack off.
"There's an economic summit in a few days. Second brother, you can't go. Let Chu Yanzhang accompany the youngest brother." Anyway, Chu Yanzhang, the actual ruler of the Divine Sea, never attends the annual economic summit. Since he and his younger brother have a life-or-death bond, let's have a few more chances to attend.
"Why? How is that Chu Yanzhang any better than me?" His fighting skills aren't weak among the brothers, so why doesn't he deserve to board a cruise ship?
Ji Wangchen glanced at him, his eyes leaving no room for doubt. Even if Ji Wangyun didn't understand, he could only give up.
Xie Zhuzhou was a little puzzled. "Big brother, shouldn't Little Yan not go? He's such a fragile character, he might get eaten alive without even knowing it."
Ji Wangchen: "..."
"Isn't he your best friend? What, you didn't invite him to your party? Won't he be sad?" Ji Wangchen raised an eyebrow slightly, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
Xie Zhuzhou: "Okay, I'll ask him. If he's not free, then forget it. After all, his eyes have only recently recovered, so it's best if he doesn't go to dangerous places."
The next day
Xie Zhuzhou woke up with dark circles under his eyes. Last night, he couldn't help but think about the haunted house, those skulls, mutilated ghosts, chainsaw ghosts, water ghosts... all sorts of monsters with gaping mouths, ferocious faces, baring their teeth and claws, as if they were going to dance on his grave, not on his bedside.
"Little brother, what's with those dark circles under your eyes?" Ji Wangyun noticed the dark circles under Xie Zhuzhou's eyes, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well last night.
"Oh, it's nothing."
Xie Zhuzhou sat blankly in the chair, slowly coming back to his senses. "Brother, isn't it supposed to be New Year's? Why does the ribbon-cutting ceremony have to be before the New Year?" He usually tries to refuse a few more times if he doesn't really want to do something.
Seated to the left of the head of the table Ji Wangchen wore a well-tailored dark suit with a meticulously styled hairstyle. His deep-set eyes and composed demeanor were striking. Hearing his subordinate protest again, he remained calm, slowly setting down the silver spoon in his hand. He picked up a warm handkerchief and wiped his hands, saying slowly, "You don't have to go, but you must go to work at the company during the winter break."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..."
My older brother only ever gives me two choices; he's basically just informing me!
But given his status as the eldest son, Xie Zhuzhou could only let Ji Wangchen manipulate him. He blinked, stopped resisting, and instead started giving Ji Wangchen a heads-up.
"Will no one in Hollow City give me trouble? If someone bullies me, can I fight back? If I encounter some high-ranking officials who look down on me, can I stand up for myself?"
Ji Wangchen said unhurriedly, "Haven't you made enough decisions for yourself?"
Xie Zhuzhou nodded, "That's true."
He's so busy! Winter break is only a few days long, and he's reluctant to spend the money. But most of this trouble is self-inflicted; he should just enjoy himself to the fullest.
**
A few days later, in the waters near a small island in the south, a warm sea breeze blew as Xie Zhuzhou pushed Ji Wuwei onto the deck, gazing at the deep blue and calm sea.
Ji Wuwei closed his eyes tightly, already wanting to curse Xie Zhuzhou's ancestors for eighteen generations. Unfortunately, Xie Zhuzhou's ancestors were also his ancestors. He was so angry that his whole body trembled slightly, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
A few days ago, when Ji Wuwei heard that Xie Zhuzhou would be holding a party on the cruise ship, he could hardly contain his excitement.
He had been suppressed by his elder brother for too long. He couldn't touch anything, whether it was the group or the domestic branches. How could he not resent the eldest branch of the family?
Why is it that the eldest son's family has monopolized all the resources? Even the current chairman of the Ji Group is Ji Wuqiu, while the eldest son Ji Wangchen, serves as the president. Almost the entire Ji Group is in Ji Wuqiu's hands.
The once-powerful family business now has very few members with the surname Ji. If they want to regain control of the Ji Group, they must eliminate Ji Wuqiu and his five sons to take everything back into their own hands.
He had thought about it a lot, and he didn't think that killing the Ji Family father and sons was an impossible task, after all, even the most meticulous plans can have flaws.
Seeing Ji Wuwei in the wheelchair, exuding an aura of conspiracy, Xie Zhuzhou's lips curled up, and he said in a lazy tone, "Uncle, what do you think would happen if the wheelchair went out of control?"
Startled Ji Wuwei immediately snapped back to reality, his voice trembling with anger. "How dare you!"
"Of course I wouldn't dare, it's just that I was recently diagnosed with mild Parkinson's." Xie Zhuzhou spread his hands, which trembled involuntarily.
Ji Wuwei: "..."
Xie Zhuzhou walked behind his wheelchair and suddenly laughed like a creepy madman, whose hands were now resting on the back of his wheelchair, bringing it even closer to the edge of the cruise ship.
"Uncle, what do you think of the reason that the electric wheelchair suddenly went out of control?" Xie Zhuzhou leaned down and asked him again, his sinister voice reaching Ji Wuwei's ears.
Ji Wuwei's heart pounded like thunder, his cold eyes fixed on the sea. "You madman!"
Xie Zhuzhou's eyes gleamed with increasing interest and excitement. "And what if Uncle encounters a shark? Never mind, this is a cruise ship Uncle gave me; how could anything possibly happen to it?"
Upon hearing Xie Zhuzhou's voice, Ji Wuwei felt goosebumps rise all over his body, as if countless spiders were crawling into his clothes, making him feel nauseous and terrified.
"Uncle, don't be afraid. I was just joking. Of course, I can't die so easily. The above-mentioned accidents were too hasty, weren't they?" Xie Zhuzhou's voice was as cold and eerie as a demon crawling out of hell.
Screw the sloppiness!
Ji Wuqiu's sons are all perverts, so abnormal!
Xie Zhuzhou straightened up again and encouraged him, "Uncle, you must survive so you can defeat us."
After Xie Zhuzhou finished speaking, he gave a smile that was both villainous and chilling.
Having been provoked repeatedly, Ji Wuwei gritted his teeth and, unable to bear it any longer, finally dropped his pretense, "The cruise ship has already set sail; you won't be making it ashore alive."
Before anyone knew it, Xie Zhuzhou had finished recording, and suddenly, a notification sound rang out indicating that the message had been sent.
Ji Wuwei: "?"
Xie Zhuzhou suddenly touched his nose, looking embarrassed, and said, "Uncle, I think I sent the recording to my father by mistake. But the signal here isn't very good, so I don't know when the information... will reach him."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuwei's mind went blank for a moment. He suddenly tried to snatch Xie Zhuzhou 'Xie Zhuzhou phone, and Chu Yanzhang happened to see this.
Chu Yanzhang no longer needs to wear an eye patch, but he does need to wear sunglasses. He gets very happy whenever he sees Xie Zhuzhou, as if there's a tail behind him that swings like a propeller.
Hearing from Yang Da that Zhuzhou was looking for him, he rushed over, only to find that Ji Wuwei, that cripple, was hurting Zhuzhou!
