Chapter 100 - Chapter 100: Too Late

Zhou Xing finished speaking.

He stepped out of the lounge.

A belated apology is cheaper than grass.

Moreover, he didn't truly realize his mistake; it was merely because a greater power forced him to bow his head.

Until just now... Li Guoxing was still clinging to his pathetic self-esteem, believing he was still the Young Master of the Li family who could command the wind and rain in Shanghai.

So, even when he stepped into a desperate situation, he never thought of kneeling before Zhou Xing to beg for mercy.

Now... his reliance was gone, which is why he made this choice, hoping to use it to salvage his family's losses.

But it was too late.

The dust had settled.

Zhou Xing had no intention of letting him off the hook.

Li Guoxing was arrogant and, relying on his bit of power, committed evil deeds, completely disregarding ordinary people.

Now, being crushed by a greater power.

Perhaps it was his best outcome.

As for whether he would learn his lesson, that was not within Zhou Xing's consideration... Wang Tianli escorted Zhou Xing to the door.

Liu Changqing then walked out and said to Zhou Xing, "The matter has been handled, so I'll head back now. There are still some things I need to take care of there."

"Thank you, Secretary Liu, for taking time out of your busy schedule to handle this small matter for me. You've gone to a lot of trouble."

Zhou Xing also smiled slightly.

"No trouble at all."

Liu Changqing waved his hand and said, "Your choice to come to Shanghai is a trust in us. As the secretary-general, I naturally must guarantee your personal safety. I am very grateful that you haven't blamed me for this incident."

"But rest assured, after this... I will strengthen management at the lower levels to prevent such incidents from happening again."

Liu Changqing said sternly, "This way, I can also give an explanation to you and your grandfather."

"You exaggerate," Zhou Xing nodded slightly, but said nothing more.

Zhou Xing nodded slightly, but said nothing more.

Even now, he still didn't know much about his grandfather's situation.

He only knew that he had a significant background and held a high position.

It also made him extremely curious why his grandfather, who was clearly alive, had never contacted Zhou Jianping. For eighteen years, from childhood to adulthood, he had never seen him.

It wasn't until he encountered such an incident that he truly understood his grandfather's power.

But he chose to hide this curiosity and didn't plan to learn about it from Liu Changqing. He would call Zhou Jianping later to see what the situation truly was.

"This is my business card. My private number is on it. If you have any problems in the future, just call me directly."

Liu Changqing smiled as he handed over a pure white business card.

It was very simple.

Only a name and a phone number.

After Zhou Xing took the business card, Liu Changqing also walked to the black Passat. The driver was already waiting beside it, opening the car door for him.

Liu Changqing turned back and greeted Zhou Xing, "I'm leaving now."

Then he got into the car.

The Passat drove away from the police station.

Shi Lei and the others also came to Zhou Xing. "Young Master Zhou, I'm very sorry... we couldn't be of much help, but it's best that you're alright. We'll head back now. If you have time in the future and are interested in our law firm, you can come and visit."

Today in the lounge.

He also realized the immense background this young man, Zhou Xing, possessed.

The matter was almost perfectly resolved without him needing to intervene.

"Thank you all for your trouble," Zhou Xing replied.

"I don't have much to thank you with, but after I go back, I'll tell my mom to give everyone a bonus as a reward for your hard work in coming here."

"It's nothing, nothing."

...

After some pleasantries.

Shi Lei and the others also drove away from the police station.

At the entrance.

Only Zhou Xing and Su Xi remained.

And Wang Tianli, standing aside, looking slightly nervous.

"Let's go too," Zhou Xing turned to Su Xi and said.

Su Xi nodded, pointing to the Panamera parked there, "I drove over. Let's take my car."

"No, I'll drive," Zhou Xing's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said.

"Okay."

Su Xi glanced at Zhou Xing, a hint of confusion in her eyes, but she didn't think much of it and agreed.

Su Xi glanced at Zhou Xing, a hint of confusion in her eyes, but she didn't think much of it and agreed.

Zhou Xing took the key and unlocked the Panamera.

He opened the car door and got in.

Su Xi also sat in the passenger seat.

Su Xi also sat in the passenger seat.

He started the car.

The Panamera drove out of the police station.

After the car was out of sight, Wang Tianli finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He was like a deflated balloon.

His straightened body also slumped.

Without a doubt.

Today was definitely the most dangerous situation he had ever encountered.

It was like walking a tightrope.

One wrong step, and below was an abyss.

Even Liu Changqing didn't dare to speak too much, fearing for his position.

Let alone him, a small station chief.

"Damn it."

Wang Tianli felt a surge of anger remembering the incident, and immediately turned back to find Lin Ping to deal with him.

He caused such a huge problem.

How could he justify his day of anxiety if he didn't properly teach him a lesson?

And that Li Guoxing.

If it were a day ago, he might have been somewhat wary.

Now... Li Guoxing's family was already struggling to take care of themselves.

Wang Tianli would definitely have to give him a punishment for provoking trouble.

After all, Li Guoxing was the main culprit in this matter... The Panamera drove smoothly on the road.

The speed was neither fast nor slow.

It remained stable at around forty to fifty miles per hour.

Su Xi, however, had no mind to care about Zhou Xing driving too slowly. Instead, she looked at Zhou Xing's profile, her lips moving, looking as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.

After a while.

She gritted her teeth, then lowered her head and said to Zhou Xing, "Boss, I'm sorry."

"Hmm?" Zhou Xing was a little surprised why she suddenly wanted to apologize to him.

Zhou Xing was a little surprised why she suddenly wanted to apologize to him.

"This whole thing escalated because of me," Su Xi said, biting her lip. At this moment, she completely lacked the demeanor of a mature woman, looking only like a little girl who had made a mistake. "If I hadn't egged you on to go to the racetrack, we wouldn't have met Li Guoxing, and naturally, all those subsequent events wouldn't have happened. Besides, Li Guoxing chose to target you because of me."

Su Xi said, biting her lip, at this moment she completely lacked the demeanor of an older sister, looking only like a little girl who had made a mistake, "If I hadn't egged you on to go to the racetrack, we wouldn't have met Li Guoxing, and naturally, all those subsequent events wouldn't have happened. Besides, Li Guoxing chose to target you because of me."

"This was originally a matter between him and me, but you were inadvertently drawn into it."

"I'm sorry, Boss."

Zhou Xing chuckled softly, "It's not that serious. This has nothing to do with you."

He gazed straight ahead, his eyes deep.

Even without Li Guoxing, there would have been a Wang Guoxing or a Zhao Guoxing.

From beginning to end, Zhou Xing had no intention of hiding his identity. Except for his grandfather, who was not within his consideration, everything else was something Zhou Xing had planned long ago.

There are no airtight walls.

What happened today is bound to sweep across Shanghai.

His name.

It will also become the talk of countless people. His background will probably shock many.

This way is good too.

Timely showing some muscle. This will reduce the number of bothersome people like Li Guoxing who come looking for trouble, like flies.
