Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

Zhou Cheng's words were like ice water, poured over Shen Lu from head to toe.

She then realized that Zhou Cheng had invited her here not to discuss the division of property, but to set a trap for her.

He had known all along that Shen Qiang owed high-interest loans and had calculated that he would come to cause trouble for him, so he simply and decisively threw this mess back into the Shen family.

"Zhou Cheng! You...you have such a cruel heart!" Shen Lu pointed at him, her fingers trembling.

"Ruthless?" Zhou Cheng laughed. "Compared to you, I'm nowhere near as ruthless. My mother is lying in the emergency room, and I begged you for ten thousand yuan to save her life. What did you say? You said they were just old, burdensome children. Now, it's your precious little brother's turn. Five hundred thousand yuan isn't much. Hurry up and figure something out."

Shen Lu was speechless, her face turning red and white in turns.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Jianguo's urging and Shen Qiang's wailing continued, buzzing in her ear like two flies.

Completely lost and confused, she turned to Zhao Tai for help.

"Brother Zhao... could you... could you lend me 500,000 yuan first? My brother..."

Zhao Tai's expression was even worse than hers.

Five hundred thousand?

If he had 500,000 yuan in cash, would he need to spend every day figuring out how to cheat and swindle?

His Ferrari was bought secondhand with company money, and he's still heavily in debt.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't have that much money!" Zhao Tai waved his hand irritably. "Your family's mess, sort it out yourself!"

All he wants now is to sever ties with the Shen family as soon as possible.

He only took a liking to Shen Lu because she was young and beautiful, and it would make him look good to be seen with her.

I never imagined I'd have to take on such a huge mess.

"Brother Zhao! How could you say that! Didn't you say you were going to buy me a Hermes bag? Didn't you say you just closed a big deal?" Shen Lu panicked and blurted out all the boasts Zhao Tai had made.

Zhao Tai's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

He had arranged to meet with two clients here today, and they were sitting not far away.

As soon as Shen Lu made that noise, the two customers turned to look at her, their eyes filled with amusement and disdain.

"Shut the fuck up!" Zhao Tai warned through gritted teeth, his voice low.

"No! You have to help me today! Otherwise I'll tell everyone about you!" Shen Lu was desperate and started to say whatever came to mind.

Just then, a well-dressed middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked over, followed by two bodyguards.

He walked straight up to Zhao Tai and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"Oh, isn't this Young Master Zhao? I heard you recently closed another multi-million dollar deal? So, shouldn't you pay back the 300,000 you owe me?"

When Zhao Tai saw who it was, he was so frightened he almost jumped out of his skin.

"Brother Long... what are you doing here?" He stammered as he stood up, his legs trembling.

This Brother Long is a notorious loan shark in Jiangcheng, known for his ruthless methods. Zhao Tai borrowed 300,000 yuan from him to make ends meet, but has been dragging his feet on repaying it.

"What am I doing here?" Brother Long laughed and pointed to the two clients not far away. "Those two are my friends. I heard you were going to cooperate with them, so I came here to give you some advice."

"Young Master Zhao, you can't even pay back my 300,000, yet you want to negotiate deals worth millions? What do you have to offer? Your mouth?"

Brother Long's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for people at the surrounding tables to hear clearly.

The two clients' expressions changed instantly. They stood up, walked up to Zhao Tai, and said coldly, "Zhao Tai, our cooperation ends here. Don't contact us again."

After saying that, the two turned and left without even saying goodbye to Brother Long.

Zhao Tai's face turned completely pale.

His greatest disguise was shattered in public.

"Brother Long, I...I'll pay you back right away! I'll pay you back right away!" Zhao Tai tremblingly took out his phone and started calling people one by one to borrow money.

But his so-called "brothers," upon hearing that it was Brother Long demanding repayment, all avoided him like the plague, either saying they had no money or simply hanging up the phone.

Shen Lu was also dumbfounded.

She always thought she had hooked up with a real rich second-generation heir, but little did she know, he was just an empty shell with a mountain of debt.

Ignoring the distraught Zhao Tai, Brother Long instead looked at Zhou Cheng with great interest.

He noticed this side earlier. To be able to sit in seat A-03, drinking wine worth hundreds of thousands, and driving a Cullinan, this person is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Sir, you look unfamiliar." Brother Long offered his hand.

Zhou Cheng shook hands with him and said casually, "I haven't been in Jiangcheng for long."

"My name is Wang Jinlong. My friends in the underworld call me Brother Long out of respect. I'm truly sorry that this matter has disturbed your enjoyment, sir." Wang Jinlong's attitude was very polite.

"It's alright."

Wang Jinlong nodded, said no more, and turned to give his two bodyguards a wink.

Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Tai, who was still on the phone, from both sides.

"Young Master Zhao, let's go somewhere else and have a proper talk about your 300,000."

"Brother Long! Brother Long, give me some more time!" Zhao Tai was so scared that he wet himself and was dragged out.

The restaurant instantly became quiet.

Shen Lu was left alone, standing there dejectedly, like a clown abandoned by the whole world.

Her phone was still ringing; it was her mother calling.

Her hands trembled as she answered the phone. Her mother's desperate cries came through the line: "Lulu! Your father was beaten so badly he's in the hospital! Come back quickly! What terrible things have we done to deserve this?!"

Shen Lu could no longer hold on; her vision went black, and she fainted.

The restaurant manager immediately called over a waiter, who carried her out.

A farce will end here.

Looking at everything that was happening before her eyes, Lin Qingxue's opinion of Zhou Cheng rose even higher.

This man appears calm, yet his methods are ruthless.

When they strike, they strike directly at the opponent's Achilles' heel, cutting off their supply lines cleanly and decisively.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to have made you laugh." Lin Qingxue raised her wine glass.

"It's none of your business." Zhou Cheng clinked glasses with her, took a sip of red wine, and said, "It's my past, it's too dirty."

The two enjoyed their meal that night.

After Zhou Cheng escorted Lin Qingxue home, he also returned to Yunding Huafu.

Soaking in the rooftop infinity pool, gazing at the city's dazzling lights, he felt as if he were living in a dream.

Those people and events from the past are being stripped from his life at an extremely rapid pace.

He knew that a whole new world was opening its doors to him.

Just then, the clock struck midnight.

That cold, mechanical voice rang in his mind right on time.

[Midnight has arrived, system refresh.]

[The system has detected that the host has successfully cleared historical issues and is now entering a new phase of their life.]

[Midnight gift package has been delivered, please check it, host.]

The virtual light screen reappeared before Zhou Cheng's eyes.

[Congratulations, host! You have received 100 million Shark Coins from the "Shark Live Streaming Platform"!]

Shark Coin: The platform's universal virtual currency, with an exchange rate of 100:1 to RMB. It can only be used for purchases on this platform and cannot be withdrawn.

[New Quest Released: Hunter and Prey.]

[Task Description: On the Shark Live streaming platform, find a "prey" that matches the host's preferences and "invest" in them. The system will reward the host generously based on the investment's effectiveness.]

[Note: True tycoons not only know how to spend money, but also how to use money to control people's hearts.]

One hundred million Shark Coins?

Converted to RMB, that's one million.

Is the system trying to make him spend money again?

Moreover, this mission sounds even more interesting.

Hunter and prey? Manipulating people's hearts?

A playful smile appeared on Zhou Cheng's lips.
