Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 378 This is the True God of War (1)

"Deputy Director, Deputy Director?" Seeing that Yan Zuozuo was lost in thought and not saying a word, Julie couldn't help but call out to her, "Are you going to agree to help or not? Say something."

Julie continued her incessant chatter, but Yan Zuozuo remained unresponsive. It wasn't until Julie reached out and pushed her, shouting, "Yan Zuozuo!"

She was taken aback for a moment before she came to her senses. Meeting Judy's dissatisfied gaze, she took a deep breath and forced back her heartache as she said, "I'm not familiar with Miss Zhou, but I'll ask her for you."

"Hey, I didn't know you were so loyal. It's settled then." Judy skipped out happily, leaving Yan Zuozuo standing there in a daze.

It has to be said that Zhou Yijun is someone who easily makes women feel inferior. With her beautiful face, sexy figure, and every gesture exuding a strong feminine charm, she makes Yan Zuozuo feel like a country bumpkin in her presence. If Chi Moqing likes her, she wouldn't be surprised at all.

Their conversation went smoothly. Zhou Yijun and the other three women were very charismatic, intellectual, generous, gentle, and graceful—qualities that Yan Zuozuo felt she could never reach.

She didn't stay long before leaving. The moment she closed the door, Yan Zuozuo seemed to lose all her spirit and collapsed into a chair, her heart aching terribly.

Perhaps she and Chi Moqing were just discussing business, or perhaps she was overreacting, but undeniably, Chi Moqing, who always disliked women coming to his door, didn't chase Zhou Yijun away but instead stood with her outside the door. Even when asked what it was about, he simply said it was business. Wasn't that a cover-up?

Yan Zuozuo desperately wanted to believe Chi Moqing; after all, he doted on her and loved her so much, he didn't seem like the type to betray her. However, the facts were right in front of her, and she didn't know how to convince herself.

The phone rang; it was Chi Moqing calling. Yan Zuozuo hesitated for a long time before finally biting her lip and pressing the answer button.

"Honey, I have something to do today and can't pick you up from get off work or cook for you. I ordered takeout from a restaurant, so you can just eat whatever you need when you get home."

"Oh, I see." Yan Zuozuo was a little disappointed, but she still forced herself to speak.

Noticing something amiss in her tone, Chi Moqing tentatively asked, "Wife, what's wrong?"

She really wanted to ask about Zhou Yijun, but she swallowed the words back. "It's okay, just be careful."

Hearing her weak voice, Chi Moqing felt something was wrong. "Wife, are you feeling unwell, or has something happened?"

"It's nothing, I'm probably just a little hungry and have no energy," Yan Zuozuo lied with a smile.

"Then you should go home early. The takeout should arrive by the time you get home. I'll take care of it and get back as soon as possible."

"Okay." Yan Zuozuo nodded obediently, but still couldn't help asking, "What's the matter that's so urgent... uh, you don't have to say." She pursed her lips, feeling ridiculous. If Chi Moqing really had an affair, why would he tell the truth?

"Wife," Chi Moqing pondered for a moment, "It's about Major General Zhan and Huang Shikun. They captured the second-in-command of the Zha Sha organization, but for their own selfish reasons, they agreed on a location to release him. As a result, Major General Zhan and his men reneged at the last minute, and the Zha Sha organization, in a fit of anger, took hostages, who happened to be a big businessman who came to discuss business with the Chi family. I have to go there to deal with it right away. Don't worry, wife, I'll be back as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Yan Zuozuo's heart tightened. "Honey, is there any danger?"

"It's alright, don't worry." Chi Moqing gave a few more instructions before hanging up.

The person who came to discuss business with Chi Moqing was none other than Huo Heng, the leader of the Clausen family. He brought along a charming and adorable little girl who looked remarkably like Chi Xuecan, and he intended to discuss adopting her with her. However, in the brief moment he was shopping, the girl was kidnapped by members of the Zha Sha organization. His bodyguards, fearing for the little girl's safety, dared not act rashly.

This is the little girl that Huo Heng brought, and she was arrested just like that, and it's because of something in the military. This is no small matter!

When Chi Moqing arrived at the scene of the crime, the Zha Sha organization had already occupied a bank, driven everyone out, and refused to see anyone.

Outside the bank stood Major General Zhan and Huang Shikun. As soon as Major General Zhan saw Chi Moqing arrive, he quickly walked over. "President Chi, do you know what happened? I had no choice but to do this to complete the task assigned by my superiors, but now they have kidnapped members of the Clausen family, which could potentially involve diplomatic issues. You have to save me!"

Chi Moqing's eyes darkened: "We've caught them, why are you planning to let them go again?"

Major General Zhan visibly became guilty, and after a long pause, he stammered, "I was just trying to use him as bait to catch more fish, but..."

Chi Moqing didn't quite believe Zhan Shaojiang's words. He glanced at Huang Shikun and then looked at Zhan Shaojiang again. "Duoji Dawa is the second-in-command of the Zha Sha organization. It's unheard of for Zhan Shaojiang to use the second-in-command to lure small fry."

Major General Zhan felt even more guilty. Chi Moqing snorted and asked again, "Where is Dorje Dawa now?"

"He was sent back; he should be in jail."

Chi Moqing's face turned ashen: "Did you have any orders from your superiors when you arrested these people?"

Major General Zhan didn't dare to say a word. Although he was a major general and Chi Moqing was just a businessman, his imposing manner and his incisive questions could all lead to his demise.

“Take me to see Dorje Dawa.”

Major General Zhan was taken aback. The situation was tense. Why did Chi Moqing insist on seeing Dorje Dawa instead of focusing on how to save people?

Seeing General Zhan's hesitation, Chi Moqing sneered, "It seems General Zhan doesn't need my help. In that case, I'll take my leave." However, he had only taken two steps when General Zhan stopped him, "Alright, alright, I'll take you to see the person."

Besides General Zhan's men, there were also police officers present. He handed everything over to the police and took Chi Moqing to see the hostage. Actually, seeing Dorje Dawa wasn't strictly necessary, but Chi Moqing had absolutely no faith in General Zhan and Huang Shikun; he needed to confirm that the hostage was still alive. As long as the hostage was alive, he had a way to rescue him.

However, upon seeing Dorje Dawa, Chi Moqing's expression darkened further. "You beat him up like this?"

Major General Zhan flinched, not daring to speak. Huang Shikun, however, spoke up, "This kid's stubborn; how can we not beat him up?"

Chi Moqing suddenly looked at him: "Do you have the right to speak here?"

Huang Shikun was taken aback by Chi Moqing's attempt to embarrass him, and his eyes widened immediately. "If I have no right to speak, then who are you?"

*Slap!* General Zhan slapped Huang Shikun on the head. “Shut the hell up!” After yelling at him, General Zhan looked at Chi Moqing ingratiatingly. Chi Moqing’s face was icy cold. “What are you standing there for? Take him to the hospital.”

"Yes, yes, what are you all standing there for? Why aren't you listening to President Chi?" Major General Zhan roared.

Huang Shikun was indignant. No matter how powerful Chi Moqing was, that was all in the past. Now, he was just a man about to become a prisoner. Was he really that afraid of him?

He curled his lip, looking disdainful.

"President Chi, what should we do now?" Major General Zhan asked anxiously. The Clausen family had been kidnapped; if they weren't handled properly and angered the kidnappers, they might kill them...

Major General Zhan could hardly believe it. He didn't know Dorje Dawa's identity when he arrested him, and even after he found out, he neither released him nor consulted his superiors. Now that this had happened, and that agreement...

Holy crap, he's been completely ruined by that kid Huang Shikun!

“What’s there to worry about? As long as Dorje Dawa is in our hands, they won’t dare to harm the hostages. Why don’t we wait until dark and then launch a surprise attack? Rescuing the hostages will be a piece of cake then.”

"Can you shut the hell up! If you say another word, I'll kill you!" It would be best if it were that simple; otherwise, he wouldn't need to be here begging and getting so worked up.

Chi Moqing looked at Huang Shikun with disbelief, then gave a mocking smile. "If only things were that simple. What if they couldn't wait to kill the hostage? Or what if you injured the hostage during your operation? The other party is from the Clausen family. Putting aside the losses suffered by the Chi family, just consider the image of S City. This incident will affect S City's future investment attraction efforts. This is only the economic aspect; the Clausen family... how did Assistant Huang manage to connect with the political level?"

Chi Moqing's words turned Huang Shikun's face pale. He only wanted to use Dorje Dawa to get back the agreement, but he didn't expect things to develop so far beyond his control.

Seeing Huang Shikun standing there in a daze, Chi Moqing said, "I have some connections with the Clausen family. I'll go see Huo Heng first. As for the hostage rescue, I'll handle that."

Upon hearing this, Huang Shikun couldn't help but sneer, "You should have said so earlier! All this talk is just to highlight yourself. Maybe you're even connected to the Zha Sha organization, and this is all a charade you've put on together!"

This is clearly a frame-up. Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow at him. "Assistant Huang's analysis is spot on. I just don't know what my purpose is in doing this?"

"Make amends for your crimes by doing good deeds. Don't forget, you're still under investigation. With this kind of performance, you can try to get a lighter sentence."

Intelligence!

Chi Moqing sneered: "Knowing full well that the higher-ups wanted to wipe out the Zha Sha organization, I still let them walk right into the trap. Is this considered making amends for their crimes?"

“Of course, isn’t that what I mean by ‘It’s better for you to die than for me to die’?” Huang Shikun pressed Chi Moqing relentlessly.

"Does Assistant Huang think I'm the leader of the Zha Sha organization, capable of inspiring people to sacrifice their lives for me?"

Huang Shikun paused, then retorted, "Who knows if you made any deals with them?"

"Assistant Huang, may I ask what crime I have committed that I would disregard the law and stage such a brainless drama?"

"..." Huang Shikun froze, unable to utter a word.

Major General Zhan was absolutely furious with Huang Shikun. He roared, "Shut the hell up! The Clausen family is still in the hands of the kidnappers, and you're just here causing trouble for me. Do you have a death wish?"

Huang Shikun was given a severe scolding and didn't dare to utter a sound for a long time.

"You're a fucking good-for-nothing who's more trouble than he's worth. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

Huang Shikun hung his head and pointed at Chi Moqing: "Brother-in-law, don't be angry. President Chi just said he has a solution..."
