Zuo Tianfeng could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
These past few months had taken a toll on him, with the Zuo family suffering significant setbacks in business and being burdened with endless household affairs.
The day before, the site supervisor had informed him that the body of a miner had been discovered in the deserted mountain near Lin City.
Although accidents were common on construction sites, leveraging this incident could ensure that Si Fuqing would struggle to maintain her position in the entertainment industry.
Despite the deserted mountain being under the Zuo familyâs development, Si Fuqing had willingly signed the transfer contract.
Now, with the ownership of the mountain in her hands, she was the primary person responsible for this incident.
After months of waiting, Zuo Tianfeng had finally found an opportunity to deal with Si Fuqing.
Lu Ningshengâs expression changed, growing tense, âQingqing, whatâs going
Si Fuqingâs eyes remained calm, and her demeanor relaxed, âItâs a minor issue. I have plans with my boss this afternoon; itâll be easily resolved.â
âBut they have guns,â Lu Ningsheng grabbed her phone, âQingqing, donât worry. Iâll contact Shen Xi. These people wonât be able to act so arrogantly for long.â
To possess a gun permit in Sijiu City, one must be no ordinary citizen.
The Shen family managed international logistics for the Great Xia Empire. Although not as powerful as the Xie family in terms of family background, their connections were formidable.
Zuo Tianfeng paid little attention to the entertainment industry, not recognizing even the top celebrities.
He disdained interactions with these actors.
To him, anyone who associated with Si Fuqing was merely a star from the entertainment industry, none of whom he respected.
âWhat does it have to do with you?â Zuo Tianfeng glanced at her coldly, âWho can you possibly bring? Be careful, or youâll be arrested too!â
Lu Ningsheng retorted with a cold sneer, âYouâre trespassing. Is there no law anymore?â
âLaw?â Zuo Tianfeng gestured towards the eight uniformed youths behind him, âDo you know who they are? Theyâre the ones who enforce the law. Si Fuqing, if you werenât in Sijiu City, catching you would have been difficult.â
âDo you have an arrest warrant? Or a search warrant?â Si Fuqing finished her coke calmly, âCome back with either of those. Also, I have a lawyer. Please contact them for any concerns.â
âA lawyer?â Zuo Tianfeng laughed, âIn a matter of life and death, having a lawyer wonât help.â
He had heard that Si Fuqing had taken 1.8 billion from Tianle Media.
By the time this was over, he intended to make Si Fuqing return not only the 2 billion she took from the Zuo family but also the 1.8 billion she had received. Si Fuqing, with one hand in her pocket, glanced around, âArenât there quite a few cameras here?â
Lu Ningsheng, already on edge, was taken aback by the question, unable to grasp its significance immediately, âAh?â
âThere should be plenty,â Si Fuqing pulled out her phone, pressed a few keys, and smiled slightly, âNo need to tie me up. Iâll go with you.â
âYou know whatâs good for you,â Zuo Tianfengâs eyes darkened, âSorry for the trouble, but sheâs a celebrity. Weâll need to take a back door.â
Before fully ensuring Si Fuqingâs incarceration, Zuo Tianfeng didnât want to stir up the entertainment industry.
He couldnât fathom how Si Fuqing, initially scorned in the entertainment world, with haters ready to assault her with acid, had in just a few months become a top idol among female celebrities.
Her luck was extraordinary.
On the contrary, the Zuo familyâs fortunes continued to decline.
Zuo Tianfeng had come to believe that Si Fuqing was a jinx, draining the Zuo family of their fortune.
Si Fuqing gestured reassuringly to Lu Ningsheng and followed the uniformed youths out.
The group exited through the hotelâs back door.
This area was only frequented by delivery trucks for the hotel, and at this early hour, it was deserted.
Si Fuqing stopped.
âMove faster!â one of the uniformed youths immediately pressed a gun against her head, âCanât you walk?â
Si Fuqing tilted her head slightly and smiled, âI wouldnât recommend pointing that at me.â
âStop talking nonsense,â the youth frowned, applying pressure, âBehave!â He had no sympathy for Si Fuqing.
As a celebrity who made her fortune in the entertainment industry yet disregarded the lives of ordinary miners, if such a person became a role model for the youth, it would be a disservice.
âSi Fuqing, I advise you not to try anything,â Zuo Tianfeng scoffed coldly,
âEven if you know some martial arts, youâre notââ
âClang! â
Si Fuqing suddenly raised her hand, seizing the gun barrel.
The uniformed youthâs expression changed as he instinctively pulled the trigger..
