Chapter 57: The World of Scumbags (1)

For high-ranking government officials like Gu Xinjun and Wei Chengbo, once a political development path was determined, the subsequent actions would inevitably be as swift as lightning.

In less than five days, when Gu Chenzhou reappeared in the capital’s circle, everyone knew through “gossip” that the Gu and Wei families had joined the Wang faction.

At this time, the people gathered around Gu Chenzhou were quietly changing again. First, it was Wang Boyuan’s nephew, Wang Rongze, who sat next to Gu Chenzhou several times, vaguely giving off the feeling of Gu Chenzhou and Wei Xiangjin before—of course, in reality, it was far from it; secondly, some second and third generations who relied on Wang Boyuan’s family also gathered over. In contrast, some who were inclined towards Yu Shuifeng naturally walked away. As for those who, like the previous Gu Xinjun, decided to remain neutral, their attitude was ambiguous, trying not to offend either side.

But overall, these changes were all normal. The only thing that was not so normal was probably He Hailou, who ran to Gu Chenzhou to brush up his presence on the first day Gu Chenzhou came out.

In the Jinsa Club, Gu Chenzhou, who was with Wang Rongze, came face to face with a group of people led by He Hailou.

He Hailou seemed to be in a good mood, and greeted Gu Chenzhou with a smile: “Young Master Gu.” But he directly ignored Wang Rongze on the side.

Wang Rongze was secretly angry in his heart, and said with a fake smile, “I didn’t realize before, Young Master He is also here!” The word ‘also’ was full of meaning.

He Hailou glanced at Wang Rongze and said carelessly, “Likewise, likewise, I actually didn’t see Young Master Wang either.”

New and old grudges, Wang Rongze almost flared up on the spot, but was interrupted by Gu Chenzhou standing next to him.

Compared to He Hailou, he did it more directly: he didn’t even glance at the other party, and said directly to Wang Rongze, “Young Master Wang, let’s go in.”

The two people next to him were not happy. Just as Wang Rongze was about to say something, he heard He Hailou speak first: “Since we’ve met, why don’t we just play together?”

This was exactly what Wang Rongze wanted. He gave He Hailou a fake smile, and then asked Gu Chenzhou, “Since that’s the case, shall we play together?”

Gu Chenzhou’s expression was indifferent, but he still smiled: “I’m accompanying Young Master Wang this time, everything is up to Young Master Wang to decide.”

Wang Rongze was very satisfied, thinking to himself that this Gu Chenzhou was not just on the right track—in fact, he knew more or less about the matter between the Gu family and the He family. Who let him have an uncle named Wang Boyuan?

“Where did Young Master He originally book?” In a good mood, the smile on Wang Rongze’s face appeared more reserved and graceful. He asked He Hailou and at the same time said, “We booked the second room on the third floor, the space is not particularly large—or else, shall we go to Young Master He’s place?”

He Hailou laughed: “What a coincidence, I’m in the first room on the third floor. But—” he dragged his voice, “let’s go to Young Master Wang’s place.”

“Okay, then let’s go to my place.” Wang Rongze waved his hand and made the decision.

The two groups of people blocking the hall finally reached an agreement. The manager, who had been standing by with a suspended heart for a long time and kept wiping his sweat, let out a long sigh of relief and hurriedly welcomed the people up to the third floor.

On the third floor, both the private room booked by He Hailou and Wang Rongze were prepared early, just waiting for the guests to come up. Now that the two groups of people had merged into one, the matter was not complicated. It was enough to move all the people and things from private room number one to private room number two—anyway, any private room was big enough, and it could accommodate another twenty or thirty people.

Everyone sat down on the sofa in private room number two, naturally divided into left and right sides. In private room number two, the waitresses in high-slit cheongsams and the waitresses in slanted-front long skirts from private room number one respectively placed wine and snacks on the table. Gu Chenzhou looked up at the female waitresses around him and thought to himself that with He Hailou and Wang Rongze around, the women here were really of all shapes and sizes, everything one could wish for.

The service of the waitresses in Jinsa was very attentive. They all knelt on the thick carpet, held their hands flat, and passed the trays of various foods around like a流水.

Wang Rongze took a green grape, leaned close to Gu Chenzhou’s ear with a low laugh and asked, “I wonder which kind Young Master Gu likes? —If Young Master Gu likes it, just pick one. Consider it my treat, how about it?” He thought that Gu Chenzhou usually stayed away from women because his family was strict.

“Why is it so troublesome?” Gu Chenzhou smiled. In his eyes, there was no difference between the men and women here. He casually pointed to one who looked upright and generous and said, “Let it be her.”

The woman who was pointed at looked up and smiled at Gu Chenzhou, then stood up and walked to Gu Chenzhou’s side to sit down.

He Hailou on the side immediately found the other party unpleasant. He lowered his eyes, and a half-smile appeared on his face. He then raised his hand and pointed to the woman with the best figure and the most beautiful appearance, who was kneeling next to Wang Rongze: “Come over,” and then said to Wang Rongze, “This one looks like Young Master Wang’s type, but I just happen to want to change my taste. Young Master Wang wouldn’t be reluctant to part with his love, would he?”

Damn it, since you know I like her, you still dare to pick her and even ask me specifically? This kid is messing with me! Wang Rongze’s heart was burning with anger, but if he were to slam the table and fall out with He Hailou for a woman who was just a prostitute, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to his uncle…

“Young Master He really knows me,” Gu Chenzhou on the side suddenly interjected, and smiled faintly at He Hailou, “I also just happened to take a fancy to this one—Young Master Wang, you wouldn’t be reluctant to part with your love, would you?”

The same two sentences, when spoken by He Hailou, were like dog shit on the ground, but when spoken by Gu Chenzhou, they became heavenly music. Wang Rongze’s expression relaxed, and he waved his hand and laughed, “Young Master Gu is too polite. What kind of relationship do we have? Is there anything you want that you can’t have?” He lowered his head and said to the woman at his feet, “Serve Young Master Gu well, and you will be rewarded.” Finally, he spread his hands to He Hailou and said with a fake smile, “Young Master He, look at this, I’m really sorry.”

He Hailou glanced at Wang Rongze, and then at the two women sitting on Gu Chenzhou’s left and right. He smiled calmly and said, “Since Xiaozhou wants it, of course I have no objection—not to mention a woman, even if it were a moon, I would give it up.”

One sentence made half of the people in the private room choke on their wine. The perfect expression on Gu Chenzhou’s face cracked again: “Who is Young Master He calling?”

I was waiting for you to say that! He Hailou happily called Gu Chenzhou again: “Xiaozhou~” The end of the sound even flew up, with a wavy tone.

This direction… why can’t I understand it a bit. Also belonging to the half of the people who choked on their wine, Wang Rongze took a tissue to wipe the wine on his body, looked at Gu Chenzhou and He Hailou, and thought to himself.

Gu Chenzhou thought to himself that he was really a fool for wanting to play a good game with him. He smiled and said, “I don’t dare! Young Master He should just call me by my name. I’m used to my family calling me by this nickname.” The implication was that who the hell are you, He Hailou, to call me that.

He Hailou laughed: “Xiaozhou, you’re being a stranger. Why do I hear Young Master Wei always call you that?”

Gu Chenzhou looked at He Hailou, and then glanced at everyone in the private room: “Young Master He came later, so you probably don’t know that Xiangjin and I have always been a family.”

He Hailou was happy to call a few more ‘Xiaozhou’ in front of everyone. While pondering that killing Wei Xiangjin was really an urgent matter, he said, “Since Gu and Wei can become a family, then Gu and He can also—”

Gu Chenzhou immediately interrupted He Hailou’s words: “Young Master Wang, I’m sorry, I have to excuse myself first.”

Wang Rongze, who was watching the fun with fascination, coughed twice and said, “Go ahead, Young Master Gu.”

This time, Gu Chenzhou really didn’t even look at He Hailou, and directly pushed open the door of the private room and left. As soon as he left the private room, Gu Chenzhou walked towards the washroom while making a call. He only said “act according to the plan” and then hung up directly. Then he didn’t plan to go back. After sending a text message to Wang Rongze, he went directly downstairs to get his car and leave.

More than an hour later, the equally bored He Hailou and Wang Rongze parted peacefully and amicably. They separated and went to the parking lot to get their cars respectively. But in the parking lot, He Hailou looked at his white Porsche and was stunned.

“What’s going on?”

The manager on the side had arrived ten minutes before He Hailou came down. At that time, what was in front of him was a car with its glass and lights smashed, its body dented, and its paint scratched; and now, ten minutes later, what was in front of him was a smashed car, a car owner who was not easy to mess with, and a group of young masters who were afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

The duty manager really wanted to cry. She kept sweating and said with a smile, “Young Master He, this is our management’s problem, a management problem. We will definitely compensate you in full. Please be understanding…”

But to everyone’s surprise, He Hailou didn’t seem to have much anger. He looked at his car and asked, “Is there a video of the car being smashed?”

“Yes, yes!” the manager said repeatedly, “Do you want to see it, Young Master He? Those people were all wearing hoods—”

“No need,” He Hailou waved his hand, “When did they come? An hour and a half ago? Ten minutes ago?”

“Fifteen minutes ago, the person watching the surveillance immediately came down, but the car had already been smashed…”

“The timing was just right.” He Hailou muttered, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

The manager and the young masters who were with him were stunned: could this be laughing out of extreme anger?

But in fact, He Hailou was not really angry. He just didn’t expect that Gu Chenzhou would do such a… how to say it, a purely venting act?

“Forget it,” He Hailou waved his hand, “It’s no big deal. We’re just messing around and playing. You can tow this car away.”

Manager: “What about the compensation…”

“I was just playing with my brother. What does it have to do with you, Jinsa?” He Hailou said without looking up. He opened the car and took out a clay figurine on a bamboo skewer that was 80% similar to Gu Chenzhou from the driver’s seat, took out the house key, and then said directly, “Alright, you can dispose of the car and everything inside.”

The matter that was originally thought to be difficult to handle was unexpectedly resolved quickly. The manager thanked him repeatedly and followed behind the several young masters, even hearing someone next to him laugh at He Hailou: “Young Master He, this time it’s Gu—” But the words were cut off halfway. The manager looked up curiously and saw He Hailou’s creepy eyes from the side.

He Hailou looked at the person who spoke, patted the other’s shoulder lightly and said, “It’s my car that was smashed. I haven’t said anything, what are you so anxious about?”

The person who spoke laughed awkwardly and shut his mouth like a clam.

With a pioneer who sacrificed himself for others dying on the beach, how could the others not know what they should do? Naturally, they all pretended not to know about this and went their separate ways.

He Hailou parted with everyone, took a taxi home directly, thought about it halfway, and then instructed the driver to turn to another place—the house of .

After a few days, the furnishings in this house were different again. Those glaring colors and various utensils were naturally still there, but besides these, there were also many different photos of another person, densely pasted on the wall.

He Hailou took the scissors and silk thread from the bar, tied the clay figurine he had been holding in his hand, and tied it to the window. Here, there were already several clay figurines with different clothes and expressions, but all with the same face.

He opened the window with a smile. The wind poured in through the open window, blowing the clay figurines hanging in front of the window to sway around. The threads wrapped around the clay figurines were either looped around the clay figurines’ necks, or locked their limbs, and some were even more densely wrapped around the clay figurines’ torsos, tying them firmly.

He stretched out his finger, slid down from the clay figurine’s face, past the clay figurine’s small neck, then past the body, and then past the limbs—and then fiercely pierced through the clay figurine’s body!

“It won’t be long…” He Hailou said to himself, withdrew his finger, and let the clay figurine with a smile on its face but a big hole in its chest and abdomen sway in the air. He then took out his phone and made a call:

“You guys get ready, I have something for you to do. It’s just a few hours later. You know Tianxiang Mountain Villa, right?…”
