Chapter 706: Chapter 443: Forced! Choice!
"Lawyer Xu, how do you plan to play this game?"
Zhuge Rong sat on the sofa, half-smiling, his gaze seemingly gentle yet somewhat sharp.
His eyes transformed into daggers, stabbing Xu Liang, wishing to scrape off layers of flesh with his stare!
That was indeed the case.
Zhuge Rong desperately wanted to peel off layers from Xu Liang, inside and out.
The opponent had exposed his identity, forcing him from Upper City onto the ship named ’Noah.’
The ship was indeed luxurious, but no amount of luxury could offer a normal life trajectory; as for returning to Upper City?
Don’t make me laugh!
He couldn’t believe the other truly came to the ship to surrender; the police back in Upper City... might have already uncovered his identity!
Zhuge Rong dared not gamble; he firmly believed that if he got off the ship, he would definitely be arrested!
He didn’t even dare think much about his domestic assets.
And all this...
Was just for a woman unrelated to him, and with no stake from Xu Liang!
So...
"Lawyer Xu, why are you still standing there?"
In a daze, Zhuge Rong’s posture shifted from lazy to upright, his sharp gaze piercing through the crowd, focusing on Xu Liang.
"Pick one!"
The moment those words fell.
The guests at the party paused simultaneously, their eyes turning to Xu Liang.
At this moment.
Their nakedness and Xu Liang’s formal attire formed a stark contrast, as if he was the true outlier!
Some noticed his appearance, their faces revealing surprise and greed, each harboring their own intentions.
As for Xu Liang...
"Tap..."
He stopped, slowly observing everything before him.
Xu Liang’s complexion showed no signs of change; the so-called party didn’t intimidate him, the ugliness of the crowd failing to exert psychological pressure.
As for Zhuge Rong...
In a daze, his eyes fixed on Zhuge Rong, lounging on the sofa, hawk-eyed and wolfish.
"Mr. Zhu, we finally meet."
Xu Liang smiled, headed to the long table of the party, pulled out a chair, and sat.
His gaze met Zhuge Rong’s, his face showing a relaxed smile.
Without waiting for coercion, he suddenly continued:
"But it’s not our first meeting."
As the voice fell.
In the surrounding crowd, Chairman Zhao and Zhao Feng’s eyes suddenly brightened, his plump, obese body raising a wine glass and approaching Xu Liang.
With a flattering, slightly sycophantic smile, he said:
"Lawyer Xu and Mr. Zhuge Rong are acquaintances?"
As the words landed, the surrounding crowd raised their eyebrows, showing curiosity.
"Acquaintance is an exaggeration."
Xu Liang glanced at his bloated stomach, replying flatly:
"Just saw the footage of Mr. Zhu being arrested back then."
Back then... the footage of being arrested?
What does that mean?
Chairman Zhao, Mr. Wang, and others were puzzled.
They didn’t know Zhuge Rong’s identity before ’84, or rather, they knew little about him compared to the Cross Group.
So when Xu Liang spoke, their first reaction was bewilderment!
As for the knowledgeable in internal affairs...
"Haha, Lawyer Xu indeed has a sharp mouth!"
Zhuge Rong’s face turned dark, a trace of hostility in his tone.
Upon hearing, Xu Liang’s heart sank.
’Haha, it really is him!’
He inwardly sneered.
Zhuge Rong’s arrest back then caused a stir; arrest footage and photos were widely circulated. This bluff... really revealed him.
Wang Hai’s investigation was correct, no wonder the opponent dared not act against him!
"Haha, regardless of the past, we’re here now, we’re friends."
Chairman Zhao seemed to notice the tension, eagerly trying to mediate with a laugh.
He said:
"We’re here to have fun, we must have fun!"
"Mr. Xu, how do you plan to play?"
Xu Liang ignored him, instead tying a napkin for himself, sitting at the party with knife and fork in hand.
"The journey’s long and bumpy."
"Eat something to fill the stomach first; other matters... let’s discuss later."
Zhuge Rong said, "Haha, Lawyer Xu, the party isn’t about eating!"
"If you’re truly hungry... I’ll have someone handle the dining later."
Xu Liang replied, "But I want to eat now, can’t wait until later."
The two exchanged glances.
As for the surrounding crowd...
"Hey, this time’s guest has personality, I like it."
In the distance, naked, surrounded by two, making no secret, grasping another’s chest openly, Donnie laughed.
Their strong personality was unmatched by Chairman Zhao and Mr. Wang’s pliable persuasion.
The mother and daughter beside him, though not knowing what transpired, instinctively showed a flattering expression.
"Let’s keep playing."
Donnie chuckled.
Then, as if handling an assembled toy, he manually posed the guest, then disregarded others’ odd glances, indulging without care, and in the grand, lavish party, unleashed his brutish nature.
If it happened once, it’d happen twice.
The crowd gradually ceased concerning themselves with the anomaly of Xu Liang and returned to the earlier madness!
In a flash.
The entire party emitted lascivious sound.
Xu Liang sat by the table, his posture straight, holding a knife and fork, cutting a dish untouched by anyone.
This wasn’t meat.
But some vegetarian options like fruits and vegetables.
There he sat expressionless, eating amidst the crowd, as if nothing happening around was related to him, no matter how bizarre or twisted, he remained unaffected!
But...
"Haha, Lawyer Xu certainly has a good appetite."
