The few of them looked at each other.
Seeing this, Wang Congcong was the first to speak: "What are you guys thinking right now??"
Qin Fen shrugged: "Thinking what about what??"
"Stop pretending, tell me what you think."
This wasn't the first time Jiang Cheng had flexed his muscles in front of them.
Last time, after Jiang Cheng's porsche was stolen, the thief ended up dying in a car accident.
Then there was the mention of Luo Jia, who was disfigured in a car accident, and now Wen Ang.
This was no longer just ordinary terror.
After Wang Congcong finished, Wang Zheng spoke up: "Anyway, it is what it is, but I'm very at ease with Old Jiang. I've spent the most time with him. Although I don't understand him 100%, as long as I stay on the same side as him, I'm not afraid."
Chen Hao nodded in agreement: "Same here. From the second time we went drinking together, I considered him a friend."
Wang Congcong was somewhat surprised by Wang Zheng and Chen Hao's answers.
He looked at Qin Fen, who hadn't spoken yet, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect these two to be so bold."
Among them, Qin Fen had the most exposure to such things.
After all, he had grown up in Hong Kong Island and the Casino City since he was a child.
In his memory, when he was young, there were many more floating corpses in Victoria Harbour and on the high seas.
Moreover, influenced by his father from a young age, he had seen many such methods.
Although the Hong Kong circle and the Casino City are not as chaotic as before, that's only on the surface; in private, such things still happen quite often.
Therefore, Qin Fen was more wary of the power Jiang Cheng possessed rather than the act itself.
Not just Qin Fen, but everyone present, though they didn't show it on their faces, were truly intimidated by the power Jiang Cheng had demonstrated once again.
Especially Wang Zheng and Chen Hao.
Although they were both Second-generation rich with plenty of family connections and wealth...
...they absolutely could not, and would not even dare to, use such tactics like Jiang Cheng did.
But Jiang Cheng had done it again. While it seemed like he had nothing to do with it, none of them believed it was just a coincidence.
Wen Ang had an accident right after Jiang Cheng warned him.
The key point was that no one else on the boat had actually seen him fall, which was rather thought-provoking.
Even more so was Luo Jia.
The incident where they teamed up to manipulate a Tesla car accident and spontaneous combustion.
Who would have thought the matters involved behind this were so complex.
Qin Fen shrugged and said to Wang Congcong with a smile: "They're bold, but so are you. Though, you really have nothing to fear. With your strength, you don't need to worry at all. Look at the entourage you have every time you go out; with so many people, it's hard for anything to happen to you."
Seeing Qin Fen looking at the Bodyguards standing at the lounge entrance.
Wang Congcong rolled his eyes at him: "Go on, are you cursing me? My old man requires this. It's mainly because he's afraid I'll cause him trouble. He said he doesn't want to be begging others with ransom money—it's too embarrassing. Besides, do you think I like hanging around these old fogies?"
After speaking, Wang Congcong didn't seem satisfied and continued to retort: "By the way, you're not much better than me. Look at your hot search—going to a mall with a group of people carrying bags; anyone who didn't know better would think you were filming a TV show."
Seeing Wang Congcong's attitude, Qin Fen knew he probably didn't like people mentioning that topic, so he just rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "That really was just for filming a video. I'm usually quite low-key, just two or three people."
Wang Congcong wasn't truly angry. He waved his hand and said: "Speaking of that, it annoys me. Every time I bring fewer people, my old man nags. You know my dad likes military-style management. It's one thing to hire so many Bodyguards, but he insists they all wear suits and ties. With so many people in black, walking down the street is the definition of 'ostentatious'."
Qin Fen followed up on Wang Congcong's words: "For someone of Uncle Wang's status, it's indeed convenient to have more people. With that aura when he shows up, who would dare approach him? Besides, I heard many of your family's Bodyguards were selected from retired special forces."
Wang Congcong didn't deny it and replied: "They're not much use in the country. Domestic security is good; at most, they help block a few cameras. But they do provide a sense of security when going abroad."
"Uncle Wang's concerns aren't without reason. He was probably influenced by the kidnapping of Li Zekui's son. You have to be careful domestically too. With your national husband face, would you dare go out without Bodyguards? Are you worried you don't have enough 'wives'?"
"I'm telling you, most of the people filming me are guys. Girls usually just watch. Probably because I'm so handsome, they're all mesmerized."
"If you said that about Old Jiang, I'd believe it. But for you, those women probably see your face and think of RMB."
Finding himself unable to refute, Wang Congcong continued the previous topic: "You're not wrong. Whenever I say my dad is high-profile, he brings up Li Jiacheng's son. He says the Li family's Bodyguards are all retired members of the Chinese Armed Police, and they even spent a fortune to hire retired personnel from the Pretty Country's White House. Plus, over on your Hong Kong Island, you can even hire top-tier mob enforcers. They hire anyone with talent. In comparison, he says he's being very low-key."
After Wang Congcong finished, Wang Zheng and Chen Hao immediately looked at each other.
Wang Zheng said: "In comparison, the two of us seem a bit low-class. Should we also consider switching to some more badass Bodyguards??"
After Wang Zheng spoke, Chen Hao opened his mouth: "At least you have Bodyguards to switch; I don't even have any..."
...The few of them chatted for a while and then began to disperse.
Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng was already in his room playing a cosplay game with Yu Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, Yu Xiaoxiao had transformed into a yoga teacher, performing various high-difficulty poses for Jiang Cheng.
For example, facing each other.
Yu Xiaoxiao placed one foot on Jiang Cheng's right arm while standing on the tiptoes of her other foot.
For example, with her back to Jiang Cheng and hands on the edge of the bed, she lifted one leg back through Jiang Cheng's right arm to hook onto his back.
Or, for instance, doing a full split directly on Jiang Cheng... Jiang Cheng and Yu Xiaoxiao cooperated together, busy and in full swing.
Meanwhile, by the Huangpu River, Li Zewei and Zhao Xing were still non-stop directing groups of people to go into the water for the recovery operation.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for Huaqiao Company and Poly Auction House.
After Jiang Cheng and the others left, several Police cars quickly arrived.
By now, the cruise ship had begun to dock.
The Police began taking statements from useful witnesses at the scene as well as the person in charge tonight.
And just as the Police were taking statements...
...two middle-aged people dressed very flamboyantly also rushed over.
One of the women, wiping away tears, walked quickly toward the officers and said: "Police, please help me find my son! He's my only son; our family can't be without him."
Seeing that the woman claimed to be the mother of the person who fell into the water, the officer spoke to comfort her: "Hello, please wait patiently to the side. The case is under investigation, and we will do our best."
The middle-aged woman cried out again: "I am his mother, Chen Hong. You can't just 'do your best'; you must find my son, otherwise, I won't want to live anymore. How could he just disappear after going out? Did he really fall into the water? Why haven't you found him yet?"
Seeing her wailing and crying, the Police couldn't help but get a headache.
According to their preliminary investigation, descriptions from witnesses on other boats, and statements from those around Wen Ang, it was highly likely that Wen Ang had indeed fallen into the water.
However, investigating a case is a rigorous matter.
Until Wen Ang's body was found, they needed to remain cautious about the outcome of the case.
And since Chen Hong's tone was full of expectation, the officer didn't speak in absolutes.
They just gave a standard reply: "The case is still under investigation; everything is possible. Rest assured, we will solve the case as quickly as possible."
Seeing that she couldn't get any useful information from the officer, Chen Hong's expression immediately darkened, and she cried out loudly with snot and tears: "Where is the person in charge here? Who is it? Get out here now!"
