Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

Chapter 219 A Cup of Tea Reveals Power

No one could have predicted such a turn of events, not even thin ice.

The bald man who had been kicked away by He Zhongtian was kneeling on the ground, gagging painfully and vomiting a little bit of vomit mixed with stomach acid.

Bo Bing stood up and looked at Zhi Yu.

Zhi Yu's face turned ashen. This was the first time he had experienced such a strong emotional fluctuation since entering this place, and all traces of his previous composed demeanor had vanished.

"Boss Zhi, you're saying this isn't one of your men?"

He Zhongtian chuckled, "Why did I hear him call you just now? Treating a useful underling like that, turning your back on him after you're done with him, isn't Boss Zhi being a bit too disloyal?"

That's disrespectful.

Bo Bing crossed his arms and waited to see what would happen.

If he wasn't mistaken, these two never intended to let Zhi Yu off easily from the start. It wouldn't be this woman's style to not make Zhi Yu suffer such a great opportunity.

"What an idiot!"

Zhi Yu slammed the teacup down on the table and stood up.

Tea was spilled all over the floor.

The two men on the ground were brought back under the guards' control. Cao Xin looked at Zhi Yu, as if asking for his opinion.

Zhi Yu's gaze returned to Yin Fengzhu. "City Lord, please speak frankly."

"I was just wondering, do I still need to cover this basin up for Boss Zhi?"

The woman took a sip of tea, her movements exquisitely elegant, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Two choices. Either Boss Zhi is smart enough to dissolve your transportation group gracefully, and go about his business as usual, without hindering government construction; or..."

Yin Fengzhu raised his phoenix eyes and looked at Zhi Yu without yielding an inch, "A criminal gang that used its protective umbrella to break the law and threaten important officials has been wiped out by the government and punished for multiple crimes... I'm sure the people will applaud, right?"

"After all... all the evidence that needs to be collected has been gathered. At this point, it seems a bit impractical for Boss Zhi to try to find a scapegoat."

Standing next to Yin Fengzhu, He Zhongtian adjusted his glasses and smiled amicably, "Of course, I think Boss Zhi is definitely not that 'clever person'."

Zhi Yu froze.

Bo Bing closed her eyes briefly.

Zhi Yu is being too clever for his own good, daring to attack Li Dai. I don't know if he's just incredibly stupid.

Lord Yin Feng was just looking for a reason to deal with him, wasn't he just asking for trouble?

Zhi Yu had been living a life of ease for far too long, to the point that his mind had become completely dull, and he genuinely believed that it was still the era of him being a mountain king.

The era when one could become a powerful figure simply by fighting and killing is long gone. Those who attribute their success to their own strength and refuse to acknowledge the role of luck cannot even see their own future clearly.

Now that this incident of confronting Yin Fengzhu with a knife has occurred, the situation is no longer a simple matter of rectifying illegal taxis and nightclubs. Even if Zhi Yu stubbornly insists that he doesn't know his subordinates and that it was Cao Xin's people who acted on their own initiative to show loyalty, he will never be able to escape unscathed so easily.

However, I always feel that something is not quite right?

Bo Bing sorted out the thoughts in her mind.

To put it another way, is Zhi Yu, who has come this far, really that stupid? Even if he had a falling out with Yin Fengzhu, couldn't he at least try to smooth things over in a public setting like this?

Why choose this time to cause trouble, and then accuse others of trying to frame him? Isn't that just like jumping into a cesspool?

It appears to be a standoff.

The Cold War was quickly brought to a close.

"We've waited until now simply because the time wasn't right," Yin Fengzhu said, shaking the cup as he watched the tea leaves that had been floating on top sink to the bottom as the water level dropped.

The woman sat in the center of the light, her tone indifferent, "Boss Zhi, you don't really think that the higher-ups are afraid of you local bullies and that's why they haven't taken action?"

These words essentially label Zhi Yu as a "local bully." If he doesn't accept the first suggestion... then all that awaits him is a ruthless reshuffling of the deck. Yin Fengzhu is clearly forcing Zhi Yu to make a choice.

"I......"

Zhi Yu understood the hidden meaning in Yin Fengzhu's words, and it was as if all the bones in his body had been removed. He slumped into the chair.

a long time.

"Okay, I'll think about it..."

"Boss!"

Cao Xin wanted to say something urgently.

"Little Cao."

Zhi Yu raised his hand, stopping Cao Xin from saying anything more.

Cao Xin, who was standing next to him, could only shut his mouth and fall silent along with Zhi Yu.

“I knew it, Boss Zhi must be a smart man,” Yin Fengzhu stood up.

He Zhongtian, carrying a teapot, walked over with a smile and kindly poured Zhi Yu a new cup of tea. "Boss Zhi, the tea from the small market can't compare to your treasured tea. Please don't mind."

The short-haired woman took a sip of her tea and gestured to Zhi Yu.

"We are happy to cooperate by using tea instead of wine."

Bo Bing almost laughed.

Use tea instead of alcohol.

—A modern version of "releasing military power over a cup of wine".

Bo Bing walked out, exhausted.

What happened next was beyond the control of an ordinary citizen like myself, and I wasn't a witness; I just watched a good show.

Zhi Yu and Cao Xin have already gone back.

At that moment, Zhi Yu was so angry he almost smashed that cup of tea in the face of Yin Fengzhu or He Zhongtian. Thinking of Zhi Yu's expression of having something stuck in his throat, Bo Bing couldn't help but chuckle.

Okay, I can be pretty quirky sometimes.

Bo Bing thought.

He leisurely went to the restroom to relieve himself, having just drunk too much tea while watching the show. He then casually walked down the steps and, with his head down, fiddled with Bo Yuntian's bicycle.

After this incident, I definitely had to go check on Li Laosan first. Even if it wasn't for the sake of the Li family, I had to go check on him just because of our friendship. I was fine with first aid and stopping the bleeding, but his recovery and infection control were uncertain; it all depended on the doctor's skill and Li Laosan's own luck.

Alas, it's all about timing and fate; we have no choice but to accept our fate.

Bo Bing shook his head. Just as he stretched his legs onto the bicycle seat, he heard someone calling him from the side.

"Thin ice".

The young man turned around and saw a Hongqi car, a different model from Li Laosan's, parked not far away. The rear window was rolled down, revealing a woman's face.

It was Lord Yin Feng calling him.

Bo Bing tapped the ground twice, then slid to the car. "Lord Yin, did you need something?"

"Get in the car, I'll take you to the hospital to see Li Dai."

Women are concise and to the point.

Bo Bing paused for a moment, then said, "The city lord goes first, I'll ride my bike over later."

"By the time you ride to the hospital, it'll probably be ages," Yin Fengzhu said with a slight smile. "Just put the bike in the trunk."

The thin ice didn't move.

"What, do you need me to get out of the car to help you?" Yin Fengzhu snapped his fingers at him, urging the young man to move.

"How could we dare let the leader do it himself?"

Bo Bing snapped out of her daze, got out of the car, put the car in the trunk, sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt. "Then thank you in advance, boss, for giving me a ride."

The short-haired woman in the rearview mirror, hidden in the shadows, smiled at him.

Bo Bing suddenly felt a familiar, chilling sensation.
