"Looking for trouble with you?"
Zhou Jianping on the other end of the phone said somewhat speechlessly, "Then just slap him across the face. As long as you didn't go looking for trouble, if someone bullies you, hit back first. If something happens, your old man will cover for you. There's no need to call me."
The corners of Zhou Xing's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Even though Zhou Jianping's status and position were different now, he was still the same familiar dad.
"It's not that simple this time. The other party has quite a background, and they're about to handcuff me and take me in."
Zhou Xing said with a light chuckle.
"Not a student from the school?"
Zhou Jianping sensed something was wrong.
"No."
"Tell me the specifics."
Zhou Jianping's tone became serious.
"Young Master Li..."
Seeing this, the middle-aged man shot a look at Li Guoxing, signaling whether or not to interrupt Zhou Xing.
Li Guoxing shook his head, looking disdainful. "Let him make the call. I also want to see what kind of tricks he can pull, and how powerful the backer behind him is that he dares to act so aggressively in front of me."
Between them.
It was no longer a simple conflict between two individuals.
From the moment he started using his family's connections.
The nature of the situation had escalated to a battle of backgrounds.
This was very common in second-generation circles.
Getting physical was the lowest form of action.
They disdained doing so.
Since both were Second-generation elites, they would compare whose influence was stronger.
However, Li Guoxing was extremely contemptuous of Zhou Xing's behavior.
With just an appetizer he had prepared, the opponent was already completely helpless and could only choose to contact his father.
He wasn't just a little bit below his level.
Li Guoxing thought carefully; if he had to seek help from his own father, what kind of major event would have to happen?
He couldn't imagine it.
Not to mention, going to his own Grandfather.
He shook his head.
To think he was racking his brains earlier on how to make Zhou Xing pay the price he deserved.
It seemed now... the opponent was nothing more than a paper tiger.
If he wanted to, he could completely make the other party live in regret for the rest of his life.
In his eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Xing was just someone at a dead end, forcing himself to stay calm to maintain that last shred of dignity.
He had still overestimated Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing glanced at Li Guoxing, then proceeded to explain the whole story to Zhou Jianping over the phone.
But halfway through, he got a bit stuck.
Because he suddenly realized he couldn't easily explain his mclaren to Zhou Jianping.
"What happened after you got to the Race track? Keep talking."
Zhou Jianping's tone sounded very calm.
"Then this person actively looked for trouble. Driving a porsche, he cut me off, so I just crashed his car until it was totaled. Now he's used his connections to lock me up, planning to give me a hard time, then investigate my background and wipe us all out together."
Zhou Xing smacked his lips. "That's roughly how it is."
He had no intention of hiding it, because with Zhou Jianping's ability, he would definitely find the clues once he intervened in the matter.
He had a bit of a headache about how to explain the source of the funds to Zhou Jianping.
He couldn't worry about that much now.
He'd think of an excuse after the matter was resolved.
"You..."
After listening, Zhou Jianping was silent for a long time. After a while, he said in a complex tone, "Did you see your Grandfather?"
"Grandfather?"
Zhou Xing was dazed.
Where did he get a Grandfather?
In his past life, from the time he was born, he had never heard of having such a thing as a Grandfather.
And he had never seen one.
How did a Grandfather suddenly pop out of Zhou Jianping's mouth?
What was the situation?
"But then again, your company with 2 billion in paid-in capital, and the money for the car—if it weren't for your Grandfather, no one would have given you so much funding. He really dotes on you."
Zhou Jianping sighed with emotion and then said, "It was a very wise decision to call me instead of your Grandfather about this. Remember, let me handle it. Whatever you do, don't let your Grandfather know, or things won't be so easy to settle."
"Okay."
Zhou Xing was full of doubts at this moment, completely unaware of the situation, and could only nod.
After learning Li Guoxing's name from Zhou Xing,
he hung up the phone.
"So, finished with your call?"
Li Guoxing crossed his arms and sneered, "Then let's see if your old man has enough capability."
Zhou Xing blinked.
Seeming to think it wasn't enough, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Wait."
Then he took out his phone again and dialed his mother Zhang Lanfang's number.
"Mom, your son is being bullied."
The first sentence out of Zhou Xing's mouth after the call connected was that.
Then he recounted the events to Zhang Lanfang.
Compared to Zhou Jianping's calmness,
Zhang Lanfang was furious. "Shanghai really has all sorts of riffraff. Daring to bully my precious son! Tell him to just wait and see. I'm calling the Shanghai Branch right now and sending a lawyer over. Son, don't worry, as long as Mom is here, no one dares to bully you!"
"I'd like to see who has the nerve to keep calling our Zhou Family 'little punks'!"
Zhou Xing hung up the phone.
A smile appeared on his face.
"Just putting on a show."
Li Guoxing swept a cold glance at Zhou Xing. This was just a cornered beast at the end of its tether, a toothless tiger making its final death struggle.
Even the mom and dad are coming out together.
How truly hilarious!
Just as well... let them all come. He'd take them all on and wipe them all out.
If he didn't make Zhou Xing lose everything, it would be hard to vent this anger and maintain his standing in Shanghai.
"Take him away,"
Li Guoxing said indifferently.
Zhou Xing didn't resist either, but actively chose to get into the car.
Su Xi followed beside him, looking anxious. "Zhou Xing, don't worry. I'll call my Grandfather immediately. Just stay inside for a bit, and you'll be able to come out."
"No need to involve your Grandfather. I've already told my parents,"
Zhou Xing said with a faint smile.
"But you..."
Su Xi was a bit hesitant.
"Don't worry."
Zhou Xing left behind one sentence, and then the car door was closed.
Su Xi watched the car gradually drive out of the Race track.
She didn't hesitate and immediately took out her phone to call her Grandfather.
Who pulls out their parents right away? This was clearly a sign of desperation.
Ultimately, it was his pride at work.
Zhou Xing told her not to get involved, but she couldn't really just ignore it.
After all, these matters...
...were all started because of her.
