Donghu Golf Club.
Chen Jinzhao managed to enter the club by leveraging Yu Mengzhi's owner status, a feat that took considerable effort.
With the help of a staff member, Chen Jinzhao indeed spotted Chu Zixiong playing golf and immediately walked over.
Chu Zixiong was playing golf with a woman. Before he even swung, he saw Chen Jinzhao's figure appear within his sight, less than ten meters away. Chu Zixiong snorted inwardly, believing Chen Jinzhao might be there to cause trouble.
As Chen Jinzhao approached, Chu Zixiong swung the club with all his might!
The golf ball flew out with an initial speed of sixty meters per second. At such close range, an ordinary person would have little chance to evade it.
Chu Zixiong's target was Chen Jinzhao!
After all, if Chen Jinzhao pursued the matter, he could simply claim it was an accident, asking why Chen Jinzhao suddenly appeared on the golf course.
If not him, who else would he hit?
Chu Zixiong watched Chen Jinzhao with a cold smile, anticipating the sight of Chen Jinzhao's infuriating face being struck by the golf ball, believing it would surely crush his arrogance.
The golf ball hurtled towards Chen Jinzhao!
Sensing danger, Chen Jinzhao made a quick judgment and tilted his head to the right.
The golf ball whizzed past his ear and flew behind him, causing Chen Jinzhao's eyes to turn icy cold.
"Uh..."
Chu Zixiong's pupils constricted sharply, shrinking to the size of pinpricks.
Was it reasonable for a human to evade a golf ball traveling at such high speed at such close range?
If Chen Jinzhao were stronger, could he even dodge bullets?
While Chu Zixiong was lost in these chaotic thoughts, Chen Jinzhao had already reached him, jolting Chu Zixiong back to reality!
The woman standing beside Chu Zixiong began to curse at Chen Jinzhao. Chu Zixiong then slapped her face and said in a low voice, "Scram. How dare you speak to Young Master Chen like that? You go wait over there. I have something to discuss with Young Master Chen."
In front of Chen Jinzhao, Chu Zixiong dared not act presumptuously.
The woman looked wronged, covering her face as she moved away, leaving the space for Chen Jinzhao and Chu Zixiong.
Chu Zixiong took a deep breath. Wanting to know if Chen Jinzhao was there to cause trouble over last night's events, he put on a smile and asked, "Young Master Chen, what brings you to play golf? I almost hit you just now. You're not holding it against me, are you?"
Chen Jinzhao had no desire to waste words with such a person and got straight to the point, "Stop playing dumb in front of me. I know your character. Did you send people to Leyang County last night?"
Huh?
Chu Zixiong was inwardly surprised.
So, it seemed Chen Jinzhao was unaware of what happened last night?
If he had known and dealt with Wang Xiao and the others, he wouldn't be asking this question.
With this thought, Chu Zixiong breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly said, "Liang Zhichao must have told you, right? I was just concerned about your mother. I've been planning to do some business in Leyang recently and was afraid of accidentally offending her. It would be bad if a misunderstanding arose. Young Master Chen, wouldn't you agree?"
Chu Zixiong's gaze was open and honest.
His mastery of the art of lying was already profound.
Chen Jinzhao naturally didn't believe Chu Zixiong's words. However, his mother had indeed not noticed anything unusual last night. His tone suddenly turned cold, "If you didn't act, that would be for the best. But if you did, I won't let you off. And remember this, never lay a hand on my mother, or I will make you regret being born into this world."
A bone-chilling cold enveloped Chu Zixiong.
Chu Zixiong didn't even dare to meet Chen Jinzhao's gaze, feeling extremely flustered. He was certain that Chen Jinzhao wasn't bluffing!
He secretly rejoiced that Chen Jinzhao didn't know about last night's events, otherwise, he would have been finished.
"Young Master Chen, what are you saying? I understand the principle of not involving family," Chu Zixiong forced a smile, his heart churning with turmoil.
The pressure Chen Jinzhao exerted was too immense!
It almost made him unable to breathe.
"Do you know about Li Zhongxiao's family of three? Was it Ning Fei who instructed you?" Chen Jinzhao suddenly changed the subject, catching Chu Zixiong off guard. Chen Jinzhao also caught the flicker of panic in Chu Zixiong's eyes, inferring that this matter was inextricably linked to him. Chu Zixiong, however, still stubbornly denied any involvement.
If there were no evidence, Chen Jinzhao would have apprehended Chu Zixiong on the spot.
Chen Jinzhao suddenly smiled.
He said to the apprehensive Chu Zixiong, "Whether you did it or not, you know best."
Chu Zixiong swallowed, not daring to speak.
"However, I'll give you a piece of advice. If you confess now and reveal everything Ning Fei has done, I might be able to help you get a lighter sentence. But if you confess only when the truth comes out, no one will be able to save you."
"Make your own choice."
Chen Jinzhao dropped these words and turned to leave.
Chu Zixiong stood there, gasping for air, like a fish returned to water, muttering in terror, "This Chen Jinzhao is too terrifying. What is his background?!"
When facing Chen Jinzhao, he dared not look directly into those sharp eyes.
At this moment.
Chen Jinzhao, who had walked a short distance away, suddenly stopped and turned back to Chu Zixiong, saying, "Third Master Chu, I have a gift for you. I hope you'll like it."
As Chu Zixiong looked up, he saw Chen Jinzhao kick the golf ball at his feet. The trajectory was clearly aimed at him. Chu Zixiong's pupils constricted again. Before he could react, the golf ball struck his face, and blood immediately gushed from his nostrils.
Chen Jinzhao smiled, clapped his hands, and left.
If others respected him an inch, he would return the respect of three feet. But if others pestered him for no reason...
Then he could only apologize. Chen Jinzhao would retaliate in kind!
Chu Zixiong, with the help of the woman, cleaned the bloodstains. However, he was contemplating another issue—
Should he betray Ning Fei?
If Ning Fei ultimately failed, betraying him might earn him leniency. Otherwise, he would have to stick with Ning Fei until the end.
"Third Master, how are you?" the woman asked incessantly, afraid Chu Zixiong's head had been damaged.
Chu Zixiong waved his hand, "I'm fine. Don't mention today's events to anyone, understand?"
The woman nodded.
After getting up, Chu Zixiong planned to go back and thoroughly investigate Chen Jinzhao's background. He felt that Chen Jinzhao was not as simple as he appeared. Chu Zixiong needed to find a way out for himself!
His meeting with Chen Jinzhao was soon discovered by Ning Fei.
On Ning Fei's computer screen were photographs of Chen Jinzhao and Chu Zixiong meeting. He stroked his chin and murmured, "Chu Zixiong, you're something else. You usually report everything to me, yet you didn't mention this important meeting with Chen Jinzhao today."
Clearly.
Chu Zixiong was developing rebellious thoughts.
Even if he didn't have them yet, the trend was there, which was not good news for Ning Fei.
Ning Fei closed the photo, his gaze gradually turning cold.
"I don't want to kill you."
"Don't hide anything from me, or don't blame me for being impolite."
