Chapter 917: Little Tricks
red wheel eye or even the sharingan. It can't cause any harm to our Eastern Evil King.Wang Zheng was directly amused by Elbis and bent down to pull one of Elbis’s ears, leaning in close to shout: "Hey...Chapter 917: Little Trick
Under Wang Zheng's watchful gaze, Xiaoya's entire body was trembling; she never would have thought that there could be someone in this world who could distinguish such a faint scent simply by using their nose!
"This foundation is quite sophisticated. If I hadn't used it before to apply makeup, I might not have been able to tell," Wang Zheng looked at Xiaoya with his smile gradually turning cold: "This definitely didn’t come from you—tell me who gave it to you"
Xiaoya's face was filled with fear and she frantically shook her head: "I don't know, I really don't know anything!"
"Actually, you two never needed to play these little tricks. It’s too low-level."
"I truly don’t know anything!" Xiaoya was almost hysterical—how could this man be so terrifying!
Wang Zheng smirked disdainfully and sniffed a few times as if confirming some scent in the air: "Everything has become very simple now."
"Beforehand, Qiao Si had contact with you. His cologne’s smell is still lingering on your body," Wang Zheng stared directly into Xiaoya's eyes making her feel uneasy: "This scent is rather faint; I would estimate that he left around half an hour ago, and just now you confirmed that you'd applied makeup for Qiao Shanwang before. Moreover, given Qiao Shanwang’s character, it’s entirely possible that he could have done this."
Listening to Wang Zheng's voice, Xiaoya's body began to tremble like a sieve! Every word of Wang Zheng’s was inching ever closer to the truth!
"Miss, give me an explanation," Wang Zheng looked at Xiaoya with a non-committal smile: "Or you could call Qiao Shanwang now and let him explain. This time he's really overstepped."
Wang Zheng's tone carried a hint of mild warning, and while speaking, he seemed to glance unintentionally at the corner of the room.
In his RV, Qiao Shanwang was on his way to the banquet hotel. He looked at the video feed from a secret camera in the dressing room, wearing an expression of dejection. However, when he noticed Wang Zheng's glance towards the corner, it felt as if needles had pricked him and he nearly jumped up!
"This guy... did he discover the camera" Qiao Shanwang said in disbelief.
"What do you think" Qiao Shanxing replied flatly: "Do you really think they would be so low-class If it were that easy to fool them, would Shangguan PoPo deserve her family name of Shangguan"
"But Wang Zheng is even more formidable," Qiao Shanwang said with a bitter face. "What if he forces me to give an explanation I can't beat him!"
Qiao Shanwang was indeed afraid that Wang Zheng might attack him out of anger; he had witnessed the battle between Wang Zheng and Li Manager of San He Society, knowing full well that his own physical strength couldn’t match up.
"Not only can you not beat him, but your brain is much less clever than his. I've warned you before about this, yet look where it's gotten us now. You clean up the mess."
"But Brother, I was just trying to warn you about how powerful this man is," Qiao Shanwang said stubbornly.
This time, instead of criticizing his younger brother, Qiao Shanxing nodded and replied: "Wang Zheng is a meticulous detail-oriented freak who can execute details perfectly."
"So my effort wasn't wasted. At least I've probed out one of his characteristics," Qiao Shanwang chuckled, looking much less anxious.
"While you still have time, think about how to wrap this up later." Qiao Shanxing shook his head; he didn't know what else to do with his mischievous fourth brother.
Qiao Shanwang pursed his lips: "My surface relations with them are fine. Besides, we're on Hong Kong's turf. Can he really eat me up"
"A troublesome opponent," Qiao Shanxing shook his head again. "I forgot to tell you one thing: people who can execute details to the extreme usually share a characteristic—making mountains out of molehills."
Hearing this, the smug smile on Qiao Shanwang's face vanished instantly!
"I—I don't have Fourth Young Master's number," Xiaoya trembled all over. "My status isn’t high enough to contact him; I’m not lying."
Wang Zheng stared intently at Xiaoya’s eyes, and it didn’t seem like she was lying, so he said, "I won't make things difficult for you. Just do a good job styling for our young lady; don't try any funny business."
At this point, Xiaoya realized that her forehead was already covered in sweat! The pressure this man exerted on her was terrifying!
How could she still think of anything else at such a time She could only obediently style for Shangguan PoPo and quickly get these two troublemakers out of here.
Xiaoya truly deserved to be one of Hong Kong's top ten stylists; once she got serious, her skill level was indeed profound.
Shangguan PoPo changed into a long white evening gown with classical鏤空花紋 (embroidered patterns) covering her shoulders. Delicate tassels hung in front of her chest, and the soft skirt reached all the way to her feet. Although there were no dazzling decorations, an aura of nobility was evident.
Wang Zheng had also changed into his clothes, wearing a black tuxedo with a white pleated shirt and a black bow tie. His neat outfit complemented his good physique and氣質,確實彆有一番風味。He stood in front of the mirror together with Shishi Shen, looking handsome and elegant as if they were divine lovers.
Shishi Shen looked at them both in the mirror, blushing slightly: "I didn't realize you're quite a good-looking guy."
"I didn't realize that you look like a goddess when you wear a dress," Wang Zheng glanced at Shishi Shen with a smile.
"What do you mean I look like a goddess in my dress Does it mean that I don’t look like one without it…"
Shishi Shen wanted to argue but realized she had fallen into Wang Zheng's trap, so she pouted and ran off to the side.
"Let’s go. It’s getting late and we need to find out what’s going on at the hotel," Wang Zheng laughed as he looked at Shishi Shen who was still in a huff.
At that moment, Hong Kong's business and political elite had already gathered at the Gui Du Hotel. If someone sharp-eyed stood there, they would definitely notice that all the guests attending the banquet were well-known figures on television—either wealthy tycoons or influential officials with power in Hong Kong. Only the Qiao family could muster such an assembly.
Over the years, the Qiao family's development in Hong Kong had been rapid, and while moving forward rapidly, they didn't forget to establish connections throughout the business and political circles of Hong Kong. In recent years, the expansion of Shangguan Family’s Hong Kong branch company has been difficult, largely due to the Qiao family’s covert obstruction.
The reason for Shishi Shen's visit to Hong Kong was precisely to address this issue.
