“Chen Feng, keep an eye on those few individuals and find out where they live. Also, have someone investigate the background of this person named Zhou Chao!” Before getting into the car, Liu Xu instructed his bodyguard behind him. “I’ll let you know in two days, Young Master Liu!” A tall and seemingly serious man replied.
“Okay.” Liu Xu nodded and got into the car, then left.
Meanwhile, Si Cong was whispering to Zhou Chao, “Young Master Zhou, you should be careful with this person, Liu Xu. He looks refined on the surface, but he’s full of deceit. I’ve heard that he’s used some disgusting methods in foreign collaborations.”
Zhou Chao nodded lightly at the words. “Don’t worry, it’s just some shady dealings behind the scenes. Besides, we’re in China, so it’s fine.”
He patted Si Cong’s shoulder lightly and joined the game with the beauties.
Si Cong thought about it. Given Zhou Chao’s current power in China, Liu Xu was indeed insignificant.
“Hmm, am I somewhat similar to Liu Xu in Zhou Chao’s eyes? Am I just a small fry to him?” A thought flashed through Si Cong’s mind.
Shaking his head, he dismissed the idea. Why bother thinking about this when there were beautiful women to enjoy?
With a loud roar, he joined the table game.
The group played until half past three in the morning before leaving the bar. Various designated drivers, who had been waiting for a while, greeted them.
Zhou Chao and his companions each found a reliable designated driver and left the hotel. The two women who had been accompanying Zhou Chao wanted to go back to the hotel with him, but Zhou Chao politely declined, much to Si Cong’s amusement.
On the way back, no one noticed the BMW trailing behind them. Considering they had all consumed quite a bit of alcohol, even Lin Wu, the bodyguard, had been persuaded to drink by Lao Piao.
The person following Zhou Chao and the others back to the hotel was none other than Chen Feng, the bodyguard sent by Liu Xu earlier. He parked the car in the hotel’s parking lot after watching Zhou Chao and the others enter the Hilton Hotel.
After staying in the car for a few minutes and seeing Zhou Chao and the others disappear into the elevator, Chen Feng opened the car door and headed into the hotel.
“Hello, 1 was the designated driver who brought the Saudi guy back just now. I wanted to ask which floor he’s staying on?” Chen Feng approached the front desk and asked the beautiful woman in front of him.
“I’m sorry, but that’s the guest’s privacy. I can’t tell you. Is there anything else?” The receptionist glanced at Chen Feng, noticing that he didn’t seem like a designated driver, especially since he was not dressed like one, unlike the usual ones who wore suits.
Chen Feng seemed to sense the suspicion and shook his head. “It’s nothing. Just a matter of not getting paid enough. Oh well, it’s only a few bucks.”
After saying that, Chen Feng turned around and walked outside, cursing himself for being foolish. Why did he think to ask about someone’s floor at the front desk? He felt like a complete idiot.
Back in the car, he sent the information he had gathered to his boss, Liu Xu, and then drove away.
The next day, Zhou Chao woke up around half past ten in the morning. He asked Si Cong and the others in the group chat if they were awake. After waiting for about ten minutes without any replies, he knew that this group of people was still sleeping in bed.
After a simple wash-up, he glanced at the clear sky and decided to head out, grabbing his phone before leaving.
Hilton Hotel was located in Yalong Bay, which was undoubtedly the busiest beach in the entire city. As soon as he stepped out of the hotel, he saw many handsome men and beautiful women leisurely strolling on the beach.
“Hey, Young Master Zhou, why are you up so early?” A pure voice came from behind.
Zhou Chao turned around to see it was Shuyi. “You’re up early too!”
Shuyi smiled playfully. “I didn’t drink much last night, and I’m used to live streaming. I feel energetic after just a few hours of sleep. How can I waste time sleeping in the hotel when I’m here in Lu City?”
“Haha, you’re right,” Zhou Chao laughed.
That’s when Zhou Chao noticed that Shuyi was holding a semi-transparent pouch containing a phone and a few stands. Curious, he asked, “Are you planning to live stream?”
“Yeah, I promised my fans before I came here. Since Lao Piao and the others are still asleep, I plan to do a live stream while exploring around.”
Zhou Chao nodded slightly, and the two of them started strolling along the beach leisurely.
As they walked, Zhou Chao didn’t say anything, just stopping and looking around from time to time. Shuyi didn’t know what to talk about either, so she followed Zhou Chao aimlessly.
After about twenty minutes of wandering, Zhou Chao finally spoke up, smiling at Shuyi. “Aren’t you going to start live streaming?”
“Oh!” Shuyi didn’t realize it at first and took about five or six seconds to snap out of it.
“I’ll start right away.” With that, she opened her pouch and took out the phone stand.
However, before she could take out two items, the stand and the power bank fell to the ground. Just as she reached out to pick them up, a slender hand appeared in front of her.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Shuyi’s hand didn’t retract, and the two hands overlapped.
Looking at the slender hand held by her own, Shuyi finally came to her senses. She quickly let go of Zhou Chao’s hand, lowered her head, and blushed slightly as she said, “Young Master Zhou, I’m sorry. I was distracted just now..”
