Chapter 755: Chapter 755

Wang Zhuang watched as Zhang Liang bowed in apology, and for a moment, he began to doubt whether he had misjudged the situation.

Who was Zhang Liang? He was the scion of the Zhang family in Zhangzhou, in the city's circles of the elite. There were few who didn't know who Zhang Liang was. Even the mayor's son, upon seeing Zhang Liang, would have to call him Brother Liang...

Yet here was this imposing figure, Zhang Liang, who not only did nothing when his underlings were beaten, but was actually apologizing to the one who had just assaulted them...

Wang Zhuang even felt as if he were dreaming...

"Your underlings are quite impressive, aren't they? The old are not dying as they should, and the young are not up to scratch... So? Is this how you usually conduct business?" Old Master Qin looked over at Zhang Liang.

By now, sweat was already visible on Zhang Liang's forehead.

Belonging to one of the Four Great Families of Huaxia, the Qin family was an entity Zhang Liang dared not provoke. The main reason he had taken the initiative to play guide and accompany the Qin family on their shopping was to look for an opportunity to ingratiate himself with the Qin's.

But now, instead of finding favor, he had only managed to infuriate Old Master Qin with his subordinates' behavior...

"Grandpa Qin, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." Zhang Liang spoke up, then turned his head to look at Wang Zhuang standing beside him.

At that moment, Zhang Liang's eyes could kill. When Wang Zhuang met Zhang Liang's gaze, he nearly died of fright.

"Big... Big Brother..."

Zhang Liang didn't even wait for Wang Zhuang to finish speaking. He grabbed Wang Zhuang, who was sitting on the ground, yanked him up, and then, without pause, unleashed a barrage of slaps that resounded through the air.

Wang Zhuang was so stunned by the slaps that, knowing he couldn't afford to offend Zhang Liang, he just stood there, letting him continue without protest...

"If you need to discipline your subordinates, you'd better do it back home. Don't ruin all the reputation your grandfather built in Zhangzhou..." Old Master Qin said.

Seeing Old Master Qin speak , Zhang Liang finally stopped. "You blind fool, hurry up and go apologize to our esteemed guests..."

Being nothing more than Zhang Liang's lackey, how could Wang Zhuang dare not obey? Without hesitation, he knelt on the ground and began kowtowing earnestly to the crowd...

"I'm to blame for everything. I'm so sorry to you all... I'm sorry..."

Wang Zhuang wasn't stupid; in Zhangzhou, few people could scold Zhang Liang, and even fewer could be called esteemed guests by him...

The people before him must be incredibly important, so Wang Zhuang put extra effort into his kowtowing. In no time at all, blood began to appear on his forehead...

"Zhang Liang, I have been friends with your grandfather for so many years. Our families could even be considered family friends..." Old Master Qin said this before he glanced at Wang Zhuang, who was still kowtowing. "You better make something of yourself..."

Leaving those words behind, Old Master Qin shook his head and walked in another direction.

Qin Jingguo, Qin Manshu, Ding Fan, Zhang Wanyue, and the others followed suit...

"Grandpa Qin..." Zhang Liang wanted to call out to Old Master Qin, but the man had no intention of paying him any mind. In no time at all, they had already made considerable distance...

"Big Brother... who are these people?" At this point, Wang Zhuang, his face swollen like a pig's, softly asked while looking up.

"You *****... you've really caused a disaster this time... Do you have any idea who these people are? They are from the Qin family—one of the Four Great Families of Huaxia Country... Just wait until I deal with you harshly!" Zhang Liang kicked him as he spoke.

Wang Zhuang was sent sprawling to the ground...

"The Qin family... people from the Qin family..." A stupefied Wang Zhuang watched as Ding Fan and the others walked away.

This time he had really screwed up; he had struck too high...

Zhang Liang had called him earlier, instructing him not to cause trouble. The police had also told him to keep a low profile...

But who would have thought he would provoke such a behemoth on his own initiative...

With this thought, Wang Zhuang felt a chilling draft on his back.

Considering Ding Fan's powerful background, if he decided to kill him, wouldn't his death be in vain...

Watching the receding figures of Ding Fan and his party, Wang Zhuang realized there were some people he simply could not afford to provoke...

After leaving the Italian fur store that belonged to Zhang Liang, the group felt rather bored. Furthermore, Old Master Qin and Qin Jingguo were both advanced in age and not in the best of spirits.

Thus, the group decided to split up.

Ding Fan went with Qin Manshu and Zhang Wanyue, while the two elderly men returned to the villa to rest, protected by bodyguards.

After some discussion, Ding Fan, Qin Manshu, and Zhang Wanyue decided to find a place where they could eat, relax, and have fun.

The trio made up their mind, and Qin Manshu and Zhang Wanyue busily took out their phones to search for the ideal spot online.

Ding Fan didn't mind much; he was used to being a companion to the prince, so he was fine with any location.

Following some research by Qin Manshu and Zhang Wanyue, they discovered a place not far from where they were called Night City of the Middle East.

Actually, it was just a shopping complex, with the first floor selling various trinkets, the second was a playground, and the third floor was a food court.

With no objections from Ding Fan, the two women happily proceeded...

They quickly hailed a cab and soon arrived, given the short distance.

Since it was getting late, they first headed to the third-floor food court.

The food court offered a variety of local specialties. Qin Manshu, always busy at her company, rarely entertained anyone but the most prominent figures, and wasn't accustomed to such places.

However, Qin Manshu didn't put on airs, and Ding Fan was very low-key, so they managed to go unnoticed.

Actually, if news reporters were to discover Qin Manshu, CEO of Qin's Group, Ding Fan, CEO of Huaxia Group, and Zhang Wanyue, the granddaughter of the Zhangzhou Zhang Family Group's president all gathered here, it would undoubtedly make the headlines.

The three of them arrived at Food City and quickly ordered some food to eat.

Ding Fan didn't eat much. As his cultivation grew higher, his dependence on food gradually decreased. Looking at Ding Fan's current situation, he could easily fast for half a month... The rıghtful source is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩

After eating, Ding Fan chatted leisurely with Qin Manshu and Zhang Wanyue.

Just then, Ding Fan suddenly noticed a woman outside walking in a dazed manner, her eyes seemingly unfocused.

Ding Fan sat by the window, and the woman walked past it.

As the woman walked by Ding Fan, he discovered an aura of evil charm about her.

The aura was very unique.

Ding Fan immediately used his Divine Sense to investigate.

Soon, Ding Fan noticed that the woman was being controlled by invisible threads.

Following the threads with his eyes, Ding Fan quickly realized that a man in his thirties was following the woman at a distance of three or four meters, controlling her with the threads as if walking a dog.

Since the ordinary people couldn't see the threads, no one around seemed to notice anything unusual about the man and the woman.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now broadcasting a missing persons alert..." Just at this moment, the television hanging inside Food City played the news.

"Recently, young women have continuously disappeared in the Middle East Food City. The Zhangzhou Police Department reminds everyone not to talk to strangers, and to refuse water and beverages offered by unfamiliar persons... Next, we will announce the names of the fifteen most recently missing individuals. If anyone has information, please contact their families or the police department promptly..."

The people eating their meals discussed the announcement after hearing it.

"I heard all the missing people are beauties, and they're young too."

"These women aren't just missing, they must have been sold by human traffickers..."

"How heartbroken the families of these abducted women must be... Alas..."

"Why doesn't the law severely punish those traffickers? Execute one to set an example, and see who would dare to commit such heinous crimes..."

After listening to the conversations around him, Ding Fan recalled the controlled beauty and the man using invisible threads to control her.

"Brother Fan, what's wrong?" Qin Manshu noticed the change in Ding Fan and asked with concern.

"It's nothing," Ding Fan shook his head slightly.

Ding Fan followed the man and the woman with his Divine Sense. His current range of sensing was twenty kilometers, so he didn't need to physically follow them to investigate.

After the man led the woman out of Night City, he took her to a nearby warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with a lot of goods, appearing to be used by merchants for storage.

After bringing the woman back to the warehouse, the man threw her into a corner where she instantly collapsed onto the floor, unconscious, as if she knew nothing of what was happening...

Once he had done this, the man left again.

It seemed the man was not in a hurry to do anything to the woman...

Ding Fan planned to investigate the situation alone later, after he had left with Qin Manshu and the others.

The method used by the man was very peculiar, and since Ding Fan had no idea what the invisible threads were, he decided he needed to find out more about them.

The three of them spent some time eating and chatting, and they all seemed to be enjoying their meal...

"Brother Fan, how about we go shooting?" After eating, Zhang Wanyue suggested with a smile.

Ding Fan didn't want to spoil the women's good mood. "No problem."

Qin Manshu then said with a smile, "Speaking of shooting, Brother Fan is very impressive..."

"Really? That's great... I want Brother Fan to win me a big doll..."

Seeing Zhang Wanyue's cute appearance, both Ding Fan and Qin Manshu couldn't help but laugh.

After exiting Food City, the three of them went straight to the amusement area on the second floor.

Although the amusement park was built inside a shopping mall, its scale was no less than that of a formal entertainment park. It had a pirate ship, a carousel, bumper cars, and even some large-scale arcade game rooms...

The place attracted quite a few people. By the time Ding Fan and his companions arrived, there were already many people there.

Zhang Wanyue excitedly led Ding Fan and Qin Manshu to the shooting range.

The shooting range was boisterous with business, drawing crowds...

Ding Fan glanced at the shooting rules.

Ten bullets for ten yuan, with balloons placed ten meters away. If you hit all of them, you could exchange for a small puppet. If you hit fifty in a row, you would get a large hugging bear, and for a hundred consecutive hits, you would be awarded a cash prize of a thousand yuan.

"Boss, I'll buy a hundred yuan's worth of bullets," Zhang Wanyue handed over a hundred yuan to the stall owner, excitedly.

Ding Fan took a look at the owner and then frowned.

The person turned out to be the same odd man who had used threads to control the woman earlier...
