184: Chapter 184 Terrorists Again
Zhou Wanqing really didn't understand why even Liu Zongren knew, yet she was the only one kept in the dark.
Being clever, she finally realized why her father both approved of Su Nange and yet wouldn't allow her to be with him.
But why did you all have to hide it from me alone?
Even you, Su Nange, why didn't you explain it clearly to me?
With that hesitant look and the way you took the initiative to admit fault, were you trying to make me feel guilty?
Zhou Wanqing clutched her head; it had been years since she last shed such large, bean-sized tears.
Liu Zongren wanted to go over and comfort her.
But he was shoved away by Zhou Wanqing. She walked out unsteadily, suppressing her grievances, and drove away.
Su Nange, how could you possibly be my cousin? Aren't you an orphan?
"Bang, bang, bang!" The door of Building 001 in the Provincial Government Compound was violently pounded on.
In the entire province, the only person who would dare to do this was likely the little princess of this household!
Wen Nianci opened the door and saw her daughter in such a state.
She asked hurriedly, "Wanqing, what's wrong?"
"Where is Zhou Bingzheng!"
Even Wen Nianci was startled.
What was going on? Was her daughter planning a coup tonight while the Great Prince was still in Shanghai?
Zhou Bingzheng was still working overtime in his study.
He saw his daughter storming in.
As a provincial governor, he could tell at a glance that the girl must have found out.
So, to prevent himself from being "usurped" tonight, it was important to strike first.
"Wanqing, do you understand your father now?"
Sure enough, in the first round, Zhou Wanqing was stunned by his targeted control.
However, Zhou Wanqing was no pushover.
"I don't understand! How did Su Nange go from being an ordinary person to becoming my cousin?"
Zhou Bingzheng put down his work and pouted slightly, "Sit down! No matter what happens, don't get agitated!"
"Who Su Nange is and what his identity is—that wasn't decided by him, nor by the Wen family, and certainly not by me."
"The facts are right here. What do you want your father to do?"
Zhou Wanqing had prepared many things to say, but at this moment, she couldn't utter a single word.
What should she say?
That she just liked him? That she wouldn't marry anyone but him?
Wouldn't that just be a childish tantrum?
Zhou Bingzheng comforted her, "Wanqing, look on the bright side. At least you two still share a family bond, don't you?"
Unable to get any answers from her father, Zhou Wanqing turned and hugged Wen Nianci.
"Mom, why is it that when I finally like someone, the heavens play such a huge joke on me?"
"Why is it that Liu Yuan can! She's been stealing my things since we were kids. Why is it that just when it looked like I could get back at her once, the heavens won't allow it?"
As a mother, Wen Nianci had never seen her daughter look so aggrieved.
She patted her back, "It turns out our Wanqing is still just a little girl who hasn't grown up. Let Mommy give you a hug!"
A mother wasn't as decisive as a father.
Wen Nianci also felt it was ridiculous. But her daughter was right; hadn't she also been hoping against hope for her to find a good home?
But before it could even begin, they were doused with a bucket of cold water.
Wen Nianci could understand Zhou Wanqing's feelings.
Back then, hadn't she also defied her family's decision and insisted on going with Zhou Bingzheng?
What should be done? Should she just fly to Sijiu City and talk to the old man directly?
Or, should they just let the rice be cooked?
Wen Nianci even startled herself with that thought.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Tingting finished her training at Global Asia for the night.
She went to a coffee shop.
Her younger brother, Ye Tian, was waiting for her.
Ye Tingting was exhausted after the day and hadn't wanted to come, but he was her brother, after all, and she had to look after him.
Ye Tian looked at his sister. Although she wasn't wearing big brands, her outfit consisted entirely of the latest styles from a well-known clothing company in the Qiantang.
Combined with Ye Tingting's newfound confidence, she looked quite striking.
Even Ye Tian felt like he hardly recognized his sister anymore.
"Sis, you're here. You look so beautiful now."
Ye Tingting chuckled, "Xiaotian, are you adjusting well to school?"
"It's okay. Sis, are you a star now? I saw your poster. I can't believe my big sister is a celebrity."
Ye Tingting quickly stopped him, "Don't talk nonsense; I'm far from that step. It's already past nine; why did you want to see me?"
"Is the living allowance Mom and Dad gave you not enough again?"
Ye Tian nodded, "Sis, can you help me out a bit?"
Ye Tingting had no choice; she helplessly took out her phone and transferred 1,000 over.
Her intention was to have the boy bother her as little as possible.
She didn't really want Su Nange to know, fearing he would think of her as the kind of brother-supporting demon that people often complained about.
But Ye Tingting didn't realize that letting her brother get a thousand yuan so easily might very well backfire.
Ye Tingting said, "Alright, Xiaotian, I've had a long day. Go back early. You have to remember, although the cost of living is high now, you should still be thrifty!"
"Especially among your classmates, don't try to keep up with the Joneses. Our family is in this situation; if you want to live comfortably, you have to rely on your own hands."
Ye Tian was annoyed by Ye Tingting's motherly lecturing, but since he had taken her money, he had to be polite: "Alright, Sis, I got it."
Ye Tingting stood up, "Okay then, I should head back too. You get back to school early. It'll be closed if it gets any later!"
But besides wanting some living expenses, Ye Tian had one more important thing he hadn't mentioned.
That was that he was currently learning photography. He heard that as long as one worked as a photographer for such companies, they could earn quite a bit in a day.
Like Fu Jiawen, who already came from a good family background. Now, he could live very stylishly just by taking commercial orders.
So, he wanted to ask his sister if he could help take photos for her.
Wouldn't it be better to let her own brother earn this money?
His sister would agree, right?
He was just a bit hesitant; that expensive camera would definitely make his sister suspicious. For a moment, he didn't know how to bring it up.
Seeing Ye Tingting in such a hurry to leave, Ye Tian quickly stopped her, "Sis, even if I go back now, the dorm will definitely be closed."
"How about you let me stay with you for the night?"
Ye Tingting was helpless.
Fortunately, she was quick-witted. She couldn't let this guy know yet that she already had such a nice house in the Qiantang.
It wasn't that she didn't want to share her good fortune; the key issue was that the owner of the house was Su Nange!
Tingting would definitely not cause trouble.
"Xiaotian, I'm afraid that's not convenient. I'm renting with other girls. I really can't take you in."
"I'll transfer some more money to you; go find a hotel yourself."
Having said that, Ye Tingting quickly hailed a taxi and left.
Although Ye Tian was a bit disappointed, at least he had gained quite a bit this time.
1,500 yuan was a huge sum to him. It seemed his sister was indeed doing well for herself now.
Between the bank and the endorsements, she was definitely among the high-income crowd.
At this moment, Su Nange was still grinding the game like crazy for the sake of his company.
Su Nange himself found it a bit funny.
How was it that reality was just like the game? He was clearly already the boss, yet the most exhausting work of making money still had to be done by him personally!
To be honest, grinding this game every day really did make it easy to feel bored.
Moreover, Su Nange had to risk his life.
Especially on Cayo Perico Island; no matter how much of a pro one was, there would always be a mistake once in a hundred times.
And so it happened; Su Nange didn't even know how, but he triggered the alarm.
He scrambled away, hit by several bullets, abandoned the gold, and dove straight into the sea to swim back.
Fortunately, the reward was truly generous. With the cash flowing in, the ordeal hadn't been for nothing.
Looking at Liu Yuan beside him, Su Nange lamented that his money-making speed in the game still wasn't as efficient or safe as that of some big shots.
However, what was exciting was that his level finally broke through 75 today, and another item in the shop had been unlocked!
But the more excitedly Su Nange clicked on it, the more disappointing it became!
Dammit, is this system trying to screw me over?
Why is it still something for the terrorbyte?
Avenger Docking Station?
Su Nange looked at the description.
Still think your terrorbyte's space is too cramped? No comfortable place to rest after a battle? Spend $4 million now to upgrade your mobile war fortress into Los Santos' top-tier mobile palace!
Living quarters fully loaded! Constant-temperature hot water, a full kitchen and bathroom, bean bag chairs, and a leisure area—everything you need.
When you're tired after blowing up the session, lie down and enjoy star-rated treatment!
Most importantly, don't worry—it won't interfere with your beloved MK2! The dedicated parking spot remains untouched.
The weapon workshop, global operations command center, and drone control station are all retained; the hardcore functions for cargo runs and session-slaughtering won't be cut at all!
Want to know how this sci-fi tech is achieved? It's simple and crude! Just add a double-decker structure to the terrorbyte—it's basically a luxury double-decker bus, hahaha!
Drive the modified terrorbyte through the streets of Los Santos, causing chaos with non-stop bombing while enjoying a top-tier doomsday vacation. This kind of prestige is unmatched in the entire session!
