he performed his spectacular counter-sniper operation, all she could think about was how mesmerizing this man truly was.With so many people unable to assassinate Wang Zheng, Song Ziyè had no high hope...Chapter 356: Sorry

Hearing this, Chu Zhaonan's face darkened so much that it seemed water would drip from his expression.

"A person who can manipulate strategies to such a divine level is indeed quite difficult to deal with," Wang Zheng sighed.

"There's still another issue." Chu Zhaonan's voice grew even graver: "How did he know I was here"

Although Tianye Bar belonged to Chu Zhaonan, he had never publicly appeared there in order to conceal the hidden underground boxing ring. Few people knew that this venue was his creation. At this moment, for the opponent to choose to act here clearly indicated they were certain of Chu Zhaonan's presence. To others, the drunkard causing trouble might just have been a coincidence, but Wang Zheng and his companions perceived that the truth behind the incident was far more complex than it seemed on the surface.

Xiao Juan didn’t think so deeply either, but from the conversation between these two men, she realized this matter wasn't simple. Therefore, instead of insisting on going downstairs, she tightened her grip on Chu Zhaonan's hand.

"When things have reached this point, is this still a problem" Wang Zheng chuckled: "Even if you are as secretive and cautious as possible, it’s impossible to avoid everyone’s eyes."

"Think carefully about what to do next. Before the police arrive, you still have some time," Wang Zheng looked down at the floor below where more than ten security guards were already pummeling the drunk troublemaker. Though that man had been quite fierce in his initial assault, he was now overwhelmed and losing ground against so many opponents.

"Police"

"Yes, if you were the opponent, what would you do" A trace of coldness flashed across Wang Zheng's eyes: "Bring police and reporters to the scene, block all exits, invent a reason for a thorough search of the bar. Then not only will your relationship with Xiao Juan be exposed, but the entire underground boxing ring will come under public scrutiny in the capital city. Clearly, any one of these actions would be fatal to you, Brother Zhaonan. You are playing with fire."

Hearing Wang Zheng's analysis, a barely perceptible shadow passed over Xiao Juan’s face, but she quickly concealed it. Obviously, she had picked up some worrying information from his words. However, at this critical moment, she couldn't let the man be distracted by her affairs.

Crow Zhounan's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and beneath his black-framed glasses, a resolute yet mad gleam shone through.

For someone in Crow Zhounan’s position, it was absolutely not advisable to engage in an impossible romance or pursue a passion that contravenes national law by organizing illegal boxing matches. Such activities, once exposed, would severely damage his public image. He should act like Su Tianran and be cautious and prudent without overstepping boundaries, minimizing any negative publicity.

Of course, if he did so, he wouldn’t be Crow Zhounan anymore.

"In that case," Wang Zheng shrugged. "We have no choice but to break before we can rebuild."

"Break before rebuilding" Crow Zhounan suddenly gripped Wang Zheng's arm earnestly and seriously said, "Help me; I owe you a favor."

“Alright.” Wang Zheng understood the implication behind Crow Zhounan’s words. In their circle, there were few genuine friends—those who appeared to have excellent relationships had underlying interests driving them. There was no such thing as a free lunch, and no one would work for you without expecting something in return. It felt pretty good to have Crow Zhounan owe him such a huge favor.

With that said, Wang Zheng drew his gun from his waistband and fired repeatedly at several light sources and screens inside the main hall!

The sharp gunfire echoed throughout the entire bar! The dance floor was already dimly lit to begin with; after the principal lighting system was disabled, the brightness of the main hall rapidly decreased.

"Oh my God, someone is shooting!"

"Run for it, run or find a place to hide!"

"Get out of my way, you bastard!"

Hearing the gunshot, the young people who had been watching the fight scattered like frightened birds, covering their heads and rushing out of the door! The entire bar immediately descended into chaos!

"Thanks." Chu Zhaonan glanced at Wang Zheng with a slightly grateful look in his eyes before pulling Xiao Juan and quickly leaving from another direction.

As expected, just as Wang Zheng predicted, sirens wailed outside at the same time!

Gazing at Chu Zhaonan and Xiao Juan's retreating figures, Wang Zheng said indifferently, "He can never match Su Tianran. A person who has feelings is not an opponent for someone without emotions."

As the big boss of this underground fighting bar, could it be possible that Chu Zhaonan had no contingency plans to escape He pulled Xiao Juan through a small door on the second floor’s corner and found themselves outside a changing room in some mall.

It was only after reaching the bustling street that Xiao Juan let go of Chu Zhaonan's hand and asked, "What will we do next"

"I will definitely get to the bottom of this." Chu Zhaonan’s expression turned dark.

"And what about us What should we do" Xiao Juan emphasized the word “us” particularly heavily. She no longer looked as strong and determined as before, her gaze carrying a faint touch of sorrow.

Indeed, what could they do

Seeing Xiao Juan's expression, Chu Zhaonan felt a pang in his heart, as if something had shattered within him.

Xiao Juan was clever and understood some information from the conversation between Wang Zheng and Chu Zhaonan earlier. She also confirmed her guesses; Chu Zhaonan’s real identity was extremely prestigious. The fairy tale stories of princes and Cinderellas seen in dramas were virtually impossible to replicate in reality.

"Believe me, I will handle everything." Chu Zhaonan wanted to hold Xiao Juan's hand but she avoided him.

Xiao Juan shook her head; although she was smiling, a glimmer of tears appeared in her eyes: "Zhaonan, I want to be with you, but I can't tie you down because of my selfishness. Many things are not within our control, including destiny, right"

Chu Zhaonan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something; however, at this moment, he realized that he could give Xiao Juan no effective assurance.

Xiao Juan was too smart. She understood that Chu Zhaonan's true identity was beyond her reach and that he would never abandon the things he had possessed since birth for her sake. It was a world she couldn't touch, only able to look up at it from afar.

Chu Zhaonan looked at Xiao Juan; his throat moved several times as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

In this moment, he could give her no promise and not even a simple "sorry."

Who would have thought that the capital's number two young master Chu Zhaonan, who was used to having his way, would also have such awkward and helpless moments

Everyone has their own helplessness, everyone has heart-wrenching stories that are uniquely theirs.

"Zhaonan, I'm leaving," Xiao Juan hugged Chu Zhaonan lightly, leaving a tear mark on his clothes.

This departure might mean they would never see each other again.

Chu Zhaonan did not reach out to embrace Xiao Juan. He let the woman he deeply loved turn and leave, disappearing into the vast night of the capital city., clearly knowing what Mr. Chen was up to."To be honest, dreamer is so amazing that even I want to try it," said Chen Maidong with a look of admiration in his eyes."In the future, whenever Mr. Chen wa...
