Chapter 472: 468. Arriving in Macau (Seeking subscriptions and monthly votes!)
Fan Hong's meaning was very clear: he no longer trusted Wen Jing. Wen Jing did not say much either; these people all had hideouts that others did not know about.
However, just as they were about to leave, they saw a row of cars drive over. When Wang Chen got out of the car, the few of them were stunned.
"He... he wouldn't be here to pick someone up, would he?" Liu Qi's tone was even trembling.
Just a moment ago, Zhang Ran had said on the phone that he would let his friend come over to pick someone up, and now Wang Chen had appeared here.
One must know that this casino was considered Wang Chen's rival; if he weren't here to pick someone up, he shouldn't have come here.
Furthermore, Wang Chen was already over eighty years old. At such an advanced age, he had personally run over to pick someone up just because of a single word from Zhang Ran.
Thinking back to how Zhang Ran hadn't even blinked when giving away one hundred million, saying it was all small change and money spent to buy a lesson.
At this, the few of them looked at each other again, their hearts trembling involuntarily, all feeling that this trouble might truly be big.
Wen Jing was also a bit dazed; he had not expected that the "Uncle Zhang" Qian Li spoke of would have such great influence.
"Leave quickly." Fan Hong could no longer care about anything else at this moment and hurriedly prepared to leave.
His heart was also filled with regret; he hadn't expected that by being greedy this one time, he would actually provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked.
At this time, Fan Hong had already begun to harbor some resentment toward Chai Gou. He had originally only intended to swindle a few more million and call it a day, but he hadn't expected Chai Gou to be so greedy, swindling a full one hundred million!
Chai Gou was also feeling somewhat uneasy, but thinking of his boss behind him, Qiu Qianyang, he finally felt a little bit of confidence.
Qian Li had completely come to her senses by now, but she still didn't think in the direction of Wen Jing; it could only be said that people caught in love really have somewhat dull thinking.
She thought about the gambling she had been doing earlier, which was clearly abnormal; she felt that at the time, she hadn't even been able to control herself.
At this moment, Qian Li remained silent. Even when Chai Gou told her to go to the lounge to rest, she didn't move, just waiting for the person Zhang Ran had sent to arrive.
Very quickly, Wang Chen arrived at this private room. When Chai Gou saw Wang Chen, his heart trembled.
"Chairman Wang, you are...?" Chai Gou asked subconsciously.
Wang Chen did not answer his question, but instead sniffed the air, then sneered: "Manager Chai has quite the ability. How much time has passed, and there is still such a strong smell.
I have always heard that Boss Qiu has a black-hearted and ruthless Manager Chai under him, but I didn't expect him to be this black-hearted."
Chai Gou was the manager of this casino; otherwise, these matters wouldn't have been so convenient.
Chai Gou's heart trembled, but he quickly reacted and feigned composure, saying: "Chairman Wang, I don't understand what you mean."
"Heh, if you don't understand, then so be it. You will understand in time." After finishing, he looked at Qian Li and said with a gentle smile: "You must be Qian Li, right? Boss Zhang called me and asked me to come pick you up."
Qian Li immediately stood up and said: "Chairman Wang, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Wang Chen smiled and said: "Don't call me Chairman Wang, call me Grandpa Wang. I am old enough to be your grandfather."
"It's no trouble, just a small matter. Don't take it to heart; it's just a little money, consider it buying a lesson."
After comforting Qian Li, Wang Chen thought for a moment and said to his eldest son, Wang Yicheng, who was at his side: "You play a few rounds here."
After finishing, he looked at Chai Gou and said: "Manager Chai, would you mind accompanying my son for a few rounds?"
Chai Gou knew that this was Wang Chen wanting to keep an eye on him, but he didn't want to stay here now: "Chairman Wang, I'm sorry, I have some things to attend to, how about..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Chen's expression turned cold: "What? Manager Chai won't give me this face?"
Seeing Wang Chen's expression, Chai Gou knew he couldn't refuse, so he could only say reluctantly: "How could that be? I was just afraid of ruining Mr. Wang's mood."
Chai Gou agreed, but Wang Yicheng was somewhat displeased. He felt that their family had already given Zhang Ran enough face today; was this really necessary?
But looking at his father's expression, he knew he had no way to refuse.
"Let's go, first go to my house to get some good rest. Mr. Zhang is also rushing over here now and shouldn't take long to arrive. By then, Mr. Zhang will give you justice." Wang Chen said to Qian Li with a smile.
Qian Li said: "Thank you, Grandpa Wang. By the way, I have a friend here, what do you think?"
"It's fine, let's go together. Where is your friend?" Wang Chen said nonchalantly.
Qian Li searched subconsciously, but did not find Wen Jing's figure. Only at this moment did she finally sense that something was wrong.
Once suspicion arises, all the previous flaws appear in one's mind.
Qian Li was dazed for a moment; she felt she had been played.
Wang Chen was old and shrewd, and he sensed something was wrong immediately, asking: "What's wrong?"
Qian Li came back to her senses and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, Grandpa Wang. My friend might have already left, let's go first."
Wang Chen looked at her and didn't ask further, taking his people and leaving.
After Zhang Ran received Wang Chen's message, he also let out a sigh of relief; as long as Qian Li was safe, it was fine.
"Change the route, no need to take a plane, let's drive." Zhang Ran said.
He had originally planned to take a plane, but since Qian Li was safe now, he felt the matter was no longer urgent, so he didn't intend to take a plane anymore.
He Yong didn't say much upon hearing this and changed the route directly.
Zhang Siyan also heard the news, and the heavy stone in her heart finally landed.
Another day had passed by the time Zhang Ran arrived in Macau. The two of them had taken turns driving on the road and were somewhat tired, and since they weren't in such a rush anymore, they drove a bit slower.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the three of them arrived in Macau by ferry, but when Zhang Ran got off the boat, his face was a bit pale.
Qian Li saw Zhang Ran and the others immediately, and seeing Zhang Ran's somewhat unsightly complexion, she understood instantly.
She had spent so much time with the Zhang Family, and knowing Zhang Ran's situation, she knew even better that Zhang Ran didn't even take planes now, let alone ships.
And at this moment, Zhang Ran had come over by ferry for her sake; looking at Zhang Ran's uncomfortable appearance, Qian Li felt even more guilty.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry, I was wrong." Qian Li walked in front of Zhang Ran and said in a low voice.
Although Zhang Ran felt physically uncomfortable—though it was mostly psychological—he still smiled and patted her head, saying: "It's fine, a small matter, don't take it to heart. Actually, I should be praising you."
"Hm?" Qian Li looked at Zhang Ran in confusion.
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "From now on, no matter what happens, as long as you can't solve it yourself, just call Siyan or me. Don't shoulder it alone; if you do that, that is when I will be unhappy."
