Chapter 190: Don’t You Regret It (4th Update)

"Young Master Wang, I don't want to interfere with your affairs. I am willingly your woman, please don't discard me. From now on, I won't say half a word about your affairs. This time I was truly wrong, please forgive me!"

Cao Jingci was truly pathetic; she immediately hugged Wang Zheng's thigh and begged.

This woman had become accustomed to a life of luxury and fine food. If she lost Wang Zheng, the two thousand yuan monthly allowance her family gave her wouldn't even be enough to buy cosmetics, and her life would naturally become unsustainable.

If Wang Zheng really didn't want her anymore, it would be very troublesome for her to find another rich man. In school, which man would dare to provoke a woman that Wang Zheng had discarded? In Feiyun City, who would dare to offend the Wang family just because of her?

Besides, once she was abandoned by Wang Zheng, she would become a laughingstock among her classmates.

Therefore, she had no choice but to continue following Wang Zheng, even without a title, even if she was only treated as a plaything by Wang Zheng.

"Alright, get up. I dislike women nagging in front of me the most. You know what to do from now on, right?" Wang Zheng said indifferently.

As for Cao Jingci, he didn't plan to drive her away directly. This flirtatious woman still brought him a lot of physical pleasure. As long as this woman didn't nag or make a scene, keeping her around to play with was still not bad. He had played with many women, and he really hadn't met one with bed skills as good as Cao Jingci's. This was also the reason why he had been seeing Cao Jingci for quite a long time, because Cao Jingci would always use some new tricks to satisfy him physically.

"I know."

Cao Jingci wiped away her tears and said cautiously.

"Then go back to school first."

Wang Zheng said. He had already vented today, so he didn't need this flirtatious woman to stay by his side. To him, Cao Jingci was indeed a plaything that could be summoned and dismissed at will.

Around seven in the evening, Zhou Lang arrived at Lovers Bar.

"Greetings, Brother Lang."

"Brother Lang, you've arrived."

Now, Zhou Lang was a prominent figure at Lovers Bar. Whether it was the shift leader or the waiters, they all greeted him respectfully when they saw him.

There were also some good-looking female servers and shift leaders who secretly regretted it. Initially, they thought Zhou Lang was just an ordinary, poor loser of a college student; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to The Bar for a part-time job. Later, after seeing Zhou Lang turn the tide at The Bar several times, how could they not know that Zhou Lang had a strong background?

Therefore, they were all moved, wanting to be Zhou Lang's woman, but Zhou Lang had long since been with Ivanova, and Ivanova's beauty was far above theirs, so they couldn't bring themselves to seduce Zhou Lang.

But every time they saw Zhou Lang, they felt very regretful inside.

However, there was no regret medicine in this world, so they could only feel envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Ivanova.

"Brother Lang, why did you come so early?"

Ivanova was slightly surprised when she saw Zhou Lang and immediately walked to his side to ask, because under normal circumstances, Zhou Lang would only come after two in the morning when she got off work.

"I have something to discuss with you and Sister Xue." Zhou Lang said.

"What is it?" Ivanova asked, puzzled.

"Let's go, you'll know when we get to Sister Xue's office." Zhou Lang said.

Soon, the two arrived at Li Mengxue's office.

Inside the office, Li Mengxue, Xiao Xi, and Cao Yanzhi were already waiting for them.

Xiao Xi had been protecting Li Mengxue these past few days. After arriving at The Bar, she had been staying in Li Mengxue's office playing on the computer. For her, the computer was a novel thing, and she was having a great time with it. However, her ability to accept things was very strong, and her memory was even more photographic like Zhou Lang's; she learned everything as soon as she was taught. Now, she had basically adapted to the life of the secular world.

Seeing Zhou Lang and Ivanova walk in together, Li Mengxue felt slightly unnatural, because she had also become Zhou Lang's woman, but Ivanova didn't know yet. Although Zhou Lang said that Ivanova shouldn't make a scene about this, she was still a bit worried.

If Ivanova made a scene, everyone in The Bar would know, and by then she would really have no Face. Because everyone knew that Ivanova was Zhou Lang's girlfriend, if the matter were exposed, people in The Bar would think she was ruining the relationship between Zhou Lang and Ivanova. After all, there was a sequence to things.

In fact, Li Mengxue's beautiful assistant Cao Yanzhi also felt a bit uncomfortable seeing Zhou Lang and Ivanova, because she also liked Zhou Lang.

However, she was not as lucky as Li Mengxue. A few days ago, she and Li Mengxue were still commiserating in this office, but now Li Mengxue had become Zhou Lang's woman and had already received the nourishment of love, while she was still suffering from unrequited love and could only temporarily bury this longing deep in her heart.

"Zhou Lang, you said you had important matters to discuss with me, and you were so mysterious. What exactly is it?" Li Mengxue asked. Earlier, she had received a call from Zhou Lang saying he wanted to come over and talk to her about something.

"Sister Xue, have you ever thought about expanding The Bar business?" Zhou Lang smiled and said.

"Of course I have, but funds are limited." Li Mengxue sighed.

"Funds are not a problem." Zhou Lang smiled and said.

"Brother Lang, you aren't planning to sell those ancestral copper coins to help Li Mengxue expand The Bar, are you?" Xiao Xi, who was playing on the computer, heard this and immediately communicated with Zhou Lang via Divine Thought. She and Zhou Lang were both Cultivators and could communicate directly via Divine Thought; ordinary people couldn't see it.

"Of course not. I have a way to make money." Zhou Lang said to Xiao Xi, also communicating via Divine Thought.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Xi was Zhou Lang's servant, and Zhou Lang was Xiao Xi's master. A servant must unconditionally execute the master's decisions. Even if Zhou Lang wanted to sell all the jade in the ancestral copper coin "Qiankun Palace" to help Li Mengxue open a bar, she couldn't say much.

Now that Zhou Lang said he had another way to make money, she naturally wouldn't say anything else and continued playing on the computer.

"Opening a bar requires a lot of money, at least tens of millions." Li Mengxue said; she didn't directly say that Zhou Lang had no money.

"Tens of millions is not a problem either." Zhou Lang smiled and said: "I just need to make a phone call, and someone will send us money."

"Are you planning to borrow money from Chief Sun and Secretary Lei?" Li Mengxue was even more puzzled. In her impression, Zhou Lang didn't have much money but had a background. Zhou Lang seemed to have a good relationship with Feiyun City Police Chief Sun Yongkang and Municipal Party Secretary Lei Gang. If he wanted to get money, he probably had to find these two people.

But borrowing money from these officials was not a solution.

"Of course not them, but Wang Dacheng." Zhou Lang smiled and said.

"Wang Dacheng? This guy even wanted to swallow my Lovers Bar. He is a complete bastard. If it weren't for him, my bar wouldn't have had so many problems recently." Li Mengxue said.

"Vice Mayor Yan Jialin and Xiao Keming have both been arrested, but Wang Dacheng hasn't been. It's not because he has no problems, but because his problems aren't major enough to warrant execution or life imprisonment. Now he should know our strength. If we ask him to borrow twenty million, he won't refuse." Zhou Lang said.

He said it was borrowing, but in reality, wasn't it just extorting Wang Dacheng?

The reason he didn't let Secretary Lei Gang take down Wang Dacheng directly at that time was based on this consideration: he wanted to squeeze money out of Wang Dacheng. Of course, this also had to do with him not being able to stand the arrogant and domineering behavior of Wang Dacheng's son, Wang Zheng.

"Wang Dacheng won't be that obedient." Li Mengxue said, somewhat disbelievingly: "You are planning to extort a sum from him."

"You give him a call, and I will talk to him." Zhou Lang said confidently: "This is not extortion, but making him compensate for your losses. You know, during this period, he has caused great impact on your spirit and your bar's business."

So Li Mengxue took out her phone.

At this time, Wang Dacheng was in a small motel not far from the Feiyun City airport.

In fact, he had been staying here for two days. These two days, he had spent them in tension and anxiety. With Vice Mayor Yan Jialin and Xiao Keming arrested, he had been worried that he would also be arrested, so he was ready to run away at any moment.

However, his company was still in Feiyun City, and he had quite a few assets. Without receiving specific news that he would be arrested, he was reluctant to run away. "Men die for wealth, birds die for food"—this saying truly captured Wang Dacheng's inner thoughts at this moment.

For these two days, he ate, drank, and slept in the small motel. Except for his son Wang Zheng who had called him earlier, no one else knew that such a big boss was actually staying in such a place.

For these two days, he had been surfing the internet and watching TV, and also contacting some related officials to see if there was any movement.

Two days had passed, and he didn't feel anything unusual. No one went to investigate his real estate company, and his heart settled down a little.

Having been depressed for two days, he wanted to relax. From this point of view, his son Wang Zheng was just like him; his way of relaxing was also playing with women.

He found the motel owner, gave the owner some money, and asked the owner to find him a woman to play with.

In such small motels, there was no shortage of Young Misses bringing "patrons" here to play. The owner recognized many of these Young Misses. Of course, some Young Misses were very business-savvy; they gave the motel owner business cards, and the cards had their contact information on them.

So the motel owner took the middleman fee and immediately agreed to Wang Dacheng, arranging a beauty to serve him.

In less than ten minutes, a woman came to serve Wang Dacheng.

This woman could barely be considered a beauty, and she was a bit older, already twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Theoretically, a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old woman is still very young, but the Young Miss industry is different; basically, there is only a Peak period of about five years, which is about eighteen to twenty-three years old. After twenty-five, it is considered old and withered.

Wang Dacheng was very rich and usually played with delicate young girls, so he didn't quite look down on such goods, but circumstances were different now. With no women to play with, he just made do.

After he finished venting on this Young Miss, the woman left, and he took a shower, ready to sleep.

But at this moment, his mobile phone rang.

He saw it was Li Mengxue's call and hesitated, not knowing whether to answer it. He was not a fool; how could he not know that the bad luck of Vice Mayor Yan Jialin and Xiao Keming this time had something to do with the owner of Lovers Bar, Li Mengxue?

The phone only rang a few times, and before Wang Dacheng decided whether to answer it, it hung up. Then a text message was sent over.

He opened the text message and saw only a few simple words: "You actually didn't answer my call, don't you regret it!"

Seeing this sentence, Wang Dacheng's heart jumped violently, feeling very uneasy.
