Chapter 43: Seeking Death (Part 1)

  Jiang Xu's appetite has been huge recently, when ordering food, he almost ordered a full table in one breath, and ordered five portions of mutton hot pot alone, which almost scared the waitress who took his order.

  Zou Rong was used to it, because she had already seen Jiang Xu's big appetite. This large table looked a bit exaggerated, but she believed that Jiang Xu would definitely be able to finish everything.

  Eating hot pot is undoubtedly the most beneficial to increase the atmosphere of chatting, and with Jiang Xukou deliberately bringing up some light topics, Zou Rong gradually became less tense on their first date, and the two began to chat and laugh, the atmosphere gradually becoming extremely harmonious.

  Jiang Xushun casually told Zou Rong about his trip to Jincheng Pharmaceutical today, of course, he only mentioned the work matters of Zou Dazhu and his wife, while ignoring his own affairs.

  Both parents' jobs have been settled, and Zou Rong was also very happy in her heart.

  It's said that owing debts doesn't weigh on one's mind, but Zou Rong didn't say another word of thanks to Jiang Xu, because she knew she owed him too much, and saying a million thank yous wouldn't be enough. She owed Jiang Xu this for the rest of her life, and probably wouldn't be able to repay it even then.

  "Jiang Xu, I'm going to the restroom."

  The hot pot was a bit spicy, Zou Rong drank a lot of drinks and felt that her lower abdomen was slightly bloated. She then told Jiang Xu and walked towards the not-so-distant bathroom.

  Just as Zou Rong was coming out of the bathroom, a tall man suddenly rushed towards her from beside.

  Zou Rong subconsciously avoided some, but was still bumped by the man's shoulder, and the man's hand was holding a glass of red wine. The collision caused the red wine to spill almost entirely onto Zou Rong's body.

  In an instant, the white dress on Zou Rong's body was stained with a blood-red color, and the strong smell of wine enveloped her.

  The man realized he had bumped into someone and spilled red wine all over her. He quickly said, "Miss, I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional."

  The pungent smell of wine made Zou Rong's delicate eyebrows furrow slightly, and as she looked at the red-stained dress on her body, her good mood vanished into thin air. She knew that her date with Jiang Xu tonight was likely to be cut short prematurely.

  "It's okay, just be more careful when walking in the future."

  Zou Rong somewhat helplessly responded with a sound, she didn't want the other party to compensate for anything either. At this time, she just wanted to go home and change her clothes first.

  The man seemed a bit uneasy and continued: "Miss, your clothes were dirtied by me. How much will it cost? I'll compensate you."

  As he spoke, the man directly took out his wallet from the pocket of his clothes.

  The wallet was opened, and inside was a thick stack of cash, at least tens of thousands, and the entire wallet was filled with various bank cards and VIP cards, giving people a very rich feeling.

  The man took out all the cash from his wallet and handed it to Zou Rong, saying: "Miss, is this enough? If not, I'll go get more."

  Zou Rong didn't go to take the money, but instead replied lightly: "No need, my clothes aren't worth much money, no need for you to compensate."

  The man obviously didn't expect Zou Rong to refuse so bluntly, and his expression couldn't help but stiffen for a moment.

  If Jiang Xiu were here, he would definitely be able to see through this man's identity at a glance, because this man is actually Zhang Zihao.

  However, the position where Jiang Xu was sitting couldn't see the situation on the side of the toilet at all. Moreover, Jiang Xu seemed to be unaware of what had happened on Zou Rong's side, and he was now facing a table full of hot pot, eating with gusto.

  Zhang Zihao deliberately bumped into Zou Rong, he was looking for an excuse to get close to Zou Rong.

  This was also Lan Mei's idea, she knew that for men, the greatest blow was to wear a green hat, so she let Zhang Zihao get close to Zou Rong, best to think of ways to get Zou Rong in hand, and then use Zou Rong to take revenge on Jiang Xu.

  In Lan Mei's eyes, a young girl like Zou Rong should be easy to get close to. With Zhang Zihe's handsome appearance and elegant temperament, plus the offensive of money, it is basically easy to settle Zou Rong.

  Zhang Zihao is also confident, he has absolute confidence in his own conditions and believes that he can defeat Jiang Xiu with overwhelming advantages in any aspect.

  However, Zhang Zihao was not lucky.

  Zou Rong was not that kind of girl who coveted vanity, facing the nearly ten thousand cash in Zhang Zihao's hand, Zou Rong didn't have any slightest temptation, and she didn't even take a glance.

  As for Zhang Zihao's appearance and looks, they were directly ignored by Zou Rong.

  "Miss, I have a friend who has a fashion store at Wanda Plaza. They have Chanel and Gucci clothes. Why don't I take you there to change into something else? To show my apology, I'll also give you a Gucci handbag."

  Zhang Zihao directly adopted the brand offensive, whether it's Chanel or Gucci and so on, they all have an unparalleled attraction to Zou Rong, a girl of similar age.

  "I've said I don't need it, would you mind moving aside?"

  Zou Rong's tone had already increased a few points of anger, the smell of wine on her body made her extremely uncomfortable, she just wanted to leave here as soon as possible, and Zhang Zihao's entanglement was already somewhat disgusting.

  Zhang Zihao got annoyed, he didn't believe that he couldn't handle a little girl like her. When he saw Zou Rong trying to leave by going around him, Zhang Zihao stretched out his hand and blocked her way.

  "What do you want to do?"

  Looking at Zhang Zihao's face with a gradually gloomy expression, Zou Rong's body unconsciously retreated a step.

  "There's nothing, I just want to take you away from here."

  Zhang Zihai also stopped pretending at this moment, he coldly responded with a sound and then made an eye contact with Lan Meimei in the corner, planning to let Lan Meimei cooperate with him to forcefully take Zhou Rong out.

  Lan Mei was watching from the side, seeing that her own man couldn't even handle a little girl, Lan Mei also felt extremely humiliated, because this was equivalent to indirectly proving that Zhang Zihao had no charm or attraction.

  However, Lan Mei knew that now was not the time to think about these things. After receiving a hint from Zhang Zihao's eyes, she quickly walked out of the corner and directly surrounded Zou Rong in the middle.

  Watching this scene, Zou Rong immediately knew that these two people were definitely up to no good.

  The first thing Zou Rong thought of was to call for help.

  But the next moment, Zou Rong gave up calling for help, because she had already seen a familiar shadow behind Zhang Zihao and Lan Meimei, a shadow that made her feel a strong sense of security.

  That shadow is Jiang Xu.

  Jiang Xu suddenly appeared behind Zhang Zihe and Lan Mei, his face was extremely cold, especially when his eyes fell on Zou Rong's red dress, a ruthless chill flashed in his eyes.

  From Zou Rong's eyes and expression, Zhang Zihao and Lan Meimei also discovered the abnormality behind them.

  Two people almost simultaneously turned their heads to look at Jiang Xu, who appeared like a ghost. Zhang Zihao and Lan Meimei's faces changed in an instant, and they were both startled by Jiang Xu at the same time.

  "Zhang Zihao, Lan Mei, you two are looking for death..."

  Jiang Xu's voice rose softly, but was filled with a chilling coldness, and his fists were also clenched lightly.

  The position he was sitting in indeed couldn't see this side, but with Jiang Xu's current hearing ability, almost all the sounds within a hundred meters around him could not escape his ears. Just by listening to Zou Rong and Zhang Zihe's conversation, Jiang Xu already understood what had happened.

  Looking at Jiang Xu's icy gaze, for some reason, both Zhang Zihao and Lan Meimei felt a chill in their hearts that wouldn't stop rising, even the air around them seemed to have cooled down significantly at this moment.

  "Little kid, what do you want to do? Are you trying to pick a fight?" Zhang Zihao's voice was loud, but his tone was lacking in confidence, and there was already a hint of fear in his words.

  Lan Mei said with a threatening tone: "Do you know who I am? If you dare to touch even one of my hairs, you're dead for sure."

  "Is it?"

  Jiang Xu merely responded with a faint "en", but before his voice had even fallen, his body was already standing in front of Lan Mei.

  Jiang Xu raised his hand and slapped Lan Mei's face with a loud slap.

  Slap

  A crisp and powerful slap rang out, directly sending Lan Mei flying to the ground with a single palm strike.

  Then, Jiang Xu turned his gaze towards Zhang Zihao.

  A faintly sinister smile slowly unfolded at the corner of Jiang Xu's mouth.
