Chapter 425 Mysterious Visitor! (1)
?As Zhang Wei, Wu Xue, and Leng Yan emerged into the cool night air, the sudden screech of tires against the pavement announced new arrivals.
A sleek Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet pulled up in a display of elegance and power, immediately capturing their attention.
Screech!
Rose and Raven, two figures synonymous with both grace and lethality, stepped out of the vehice.
Their presence alone was enough to shift the atmosphere, drawing a curious glance from Zhang Wei as their voices echoed through the quiet of the night.
"Boss!" Rose's voice was a mix of excitement and relief as she spotted Zhang Wei.
Her steps quick and deliberate, she closed the distance between them with a radiant smile that seemed to light up the dimly lit street.
Her intention was clear; she was going in for an embrace, her arms open wide in anticipation.
Whoosh!
As she wrapped her arms around Zhang Wei in a tight hug, the warmth and familiarity of the gesture spoke about of their relationship.
For a fleeting moment, it seemed she might even go further, her eyes closing as she leaned in, drawn by a mix of affection and adrenaline from the night's events.
??
However, the presence of Wu Xue and Leng Yan, standing just a breath away, seemed to dawn on her at the last second.
The realization prompted a swift adjustment in her actions, her lips pausing mere inches from Zhang Wei's, as she restrained the impulse to go further.
Instead, she settled for a smile that was both apologetic and teasing.
"Boss, you seem to have had quite the night without us," Rose said with a playful pout, stepping back to stand beside Raven, who watched the exchange with an amused smirk.
Zhang Wei, recovering from the surprise, couldn't help but chuckle. "It's been an eventful evening, but what are you two doing here?" he admitted, glancing at Wu Xue and Leng Yan, ensuring they were alright after the ordeal.
Leng Yan raised an eyebrow, a silent question in her gaze, while Wu Xue looked on, a mix of curiosity and fatigue evident in her posture.
Rose acknowledged, coupled with a curious glance towards Wu Xue and Leng Yan, "Actually, there's someone looking for you. It's been a week since that girl started staying over. When I heard you were here, I thought I'd come and let you know," she explained, her voice tinged with a hint of mystery.
"Someone is looking for me?" Zhang Wei's surprise was evident, his eyebrows arching in curiosity.
The atmosphere shifted subtly, with Leng Yan's eyes narrowing slightly, and Wu Xue seizing the moment to probe further. "You don't know who it is?" she asked, a trace of skepticism in her tone.
Zhang Wei's momentary silence spoke volumes, leading Wu Xue's expression to betray a flicker of annoyance. "You have so many women that you don't even remember their faces now?" Her question was loaded, her displeasure clear, and her eyebrows twitching in disapproval.
Zhang Wei, ever nonchalant, shrugged off the accusation. "I can't help it if every random woman starts to call herself mine. Naturally, I won't remember," he replied, his response casual.
Leng Yan, "..."
Rose, "..."
Wu Xue, "..."
The moment, however, was broken by Tang Bo's timely entrance. Walking up with his characteristic smile, his presence seemed to fill the space, his belly leading the way as if to announce his arrival.
"Brother Zhang, we've apprehended everyone. What should we do with them?" he inquired, his tone light yet expectant, looking to Zhang Wei for direction.
Rose's voice broke the silence, "Eat less, Tang Bo, or you'll end up exploding."
"Haha..." Tang Bo let out an awkward chuckle, but the sweat on his back betrayed his discomfort.
He couldn't shake off the nagging question: why were there so many women here?
It wasn't just the presence of women that troubled him; it was the realization that they had fallen under Zhang Wei's scrutinizing gaze.
One wrong move, and his promising career would go up in smoke.
As Zhang Wei pondered the fate of the prisoners, Leng Yan's voice quivered with unease, "You can't just eliminate them all at once. There are over a hundred. It would make headlines..."
Zhang Wei's eyes flickered to Tang Bo before he nodded decisively, "Castrate the men. As for the women, find a buyer."
His words reverberated like thunder, sending a shiver down the spines of those nearby.
Wu Xue's smile was tinged with bitterness as she spoke up, her heart pounding in her chest. 'Is this really happening?' she wondered in awe. 'Zhang Wei has his own underground empire!'
In that moment, Zhang Wei in her eyes truly seemed like the protagonist of his own dark saga.
Leng Yan bit her lip, holding back her thoughts, while Rose's nod signaled her agreement. "That's the way to go. It'll keep those men from seeking revenge directly," she declared with conviction.
Zhang Wei, they would be unable to act openly, could still target his women.
But lacking the "weapon" to do so made the risk far more manageable.
Rose couldn't help but marvel at Zhang Wei's lightning-fast strategizing.
With everyone on board, Tang Bo chimed in with a nervous chuckle, "Haha... Then let's cut them off," his crass comment elicited narrowed eyes from the women present, prompting a swift retreat.
"See you later, Brother Zhang. Oh, and there's a nightclub with some fresh faces if you're interested," he blurted out, disregarding the resentful glances from Leng Yan and Wu Xue as he hurriedly made his exit, leaving Zhang Wei grinning in amusement.
"The women at the club might not be clean," Wu Xue cautioned, unable to suppress her worry.
"He said 'fresh'," Zhang Wei pointed out, enjoying her reaction.
"They might have records under their names," Leng Yan added, voicing her own concerns.
Zhang Wei regarded the two women, his expression unreadable for a moment before he made a sudden move, grabbing them both.
!!
Wu Xue and Leng Yan's immediate reaction to Zhang Wei's teasing proposition was one of shock, their eyes widening in disbelief as they made a feeble attempt to pull away."Since those women aren't fit, what about you two?" He proposed, with a mischievous grin.
