Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 493 "Kill Bill"

The impact was so sudden and violent that Zhou Wang really felt the entire building shake. Many plates and wine glasses fell off the table in the shock. Several vases decorating the four corners of the banquet hall also fell over, and the sound of cracking was endless.

Although the noise soon subsided, the entire banquet hall was in chaos. Big shots like Guo Wangshan, who were used to the ups and downs of life, were still calm, but ordinary people were panicked.

"what sound?"

"Was it an earthquake just now, or something..."

Gao Xing appeared out of nowhere and stood beside Zhou Wang. After Zhou Wang stood firm, he hugged Lin Ran, who was a little frightened, and looked at Gao Xing with a frown.

Gao Xing shook his head slightly, then pressed the headset and asked Xiao Wang in a low voice.

"There was an explosion in the stairwell and there was a collapse. Xiao Wang is checking the cause."

Soon, Gao Xing gave a brief report.

"The stairwell collapsed? If the elevator breaks down too..."

After Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, his expression immediately became serious.

Zhou Wang, who had already had some experience, is still very sensitive to this aspect and no longer thinks that some things are far away from him, so he instantly thinks of some very bad situation.

Gao Xing obviously thought of this as well, but he did not act rashly. He just stood there silently. This alone made Zhou Wang feel a lot more at ease.

This shows that at least on the surface, Gao Xing has not found any threats for the time being.

At this time, there was some commotion at the door. Some guests were shouting something loudly, which seemed to cause some chaos. More people rushed towards the door, but soon retreated.

"Brother Gou, the elevator is not working and the corridor is on fire. Some people want to leave but find that they can't leave at all..."

Old Ruan, who had just returned from the bathroom, ran over quickly and spoke loudly.

Lao Ruan's voice attracted more people's attention. Some people rushed over in astonishment to check the situation, while others took out their mobile phones to call the police, but some people also gathered directly towards Zhou Wang.

In addition to Xu Wenxian, Jiang Qingkui and other people around them, people like Guo Wangshan, Nie Xiaoyun, and Qiu Zeyu's mother Mrs. Lin all came over with serious expressions. Xia Xiwei also came over with Yan Baiqiu and her sister. Among the celebrities, Mr. Ren and Shen Teng also came over.

With the knowledge and experience of these people, even if they still don't understand the situation, they have more or less sensed that something is wrong.

"My driver is still downstairs. He said everything is normal except the elevators which are all out of service..."

As soon as Guo Wangshan found Zhou Wang, he spoke directly.

"Isn't this abnormal?"

Nie Xiaoyun frowned and said, "How could the elevator break down for no reason? And the sound just now sounded like an explosion... This is an office building. There is no gas or chemical raw materials. How could an explosion happen?"

When Nie Xiaoyun mentioned "chemical raw materials", she paused, apparently recalling some distant memories. She glanced at Zhou Wang inconspicuously from the corner of her eye.

"There shouldn't be any chemical raw materials, but the explosion took place downstairs, which is the kitchen for the banquet. There should be some fuel, but not too much. Moreover, the explosion took place in the corridor, so there shouldn't be anything there..."

Zhou Wang started to explain. Upon hearing this information, everyone's expressions became more serious.

All this seems to be enough to show that the explosion in the stairwell between the 55th and 56th floors was not an accident.

"A normal office building will have at least one or two fire escape stairs in addition to the ordinary corridors, maybe..."

Jiang Qingkui glanced at Lin Ran who was still holding Zhou Wang's arm, and when the other party let go of Zhou Wang awkwardly, she spoke at the same time.

But before Jiang Qingkui finished his words, a few muffled "boom" sounds were heard, and the whole floor began to shake violently again.

Amid the exclamations and chaos, Ding Yi, who was supporting Nie Xiaoyun, let out a sigh, "Okay, it seems there's no need to think about it now..."

"Call the police immediately!"

Guo Wangshan turned around and instructed his assistant, "Contact Director Li directly..."

"It's Xiao Wang!"

Xu Wenxi, who was hiding next to Zhou Wang, looked up and saw someone running towards her, so she quickly reminded Zhou Wang in a low voice.

Zhou Wang also saw Xiao Wang coming from the door, but before Xiao Wang came close, Zhou Wang's cell phone suddenly rang.

Jingle Bell!
In this chaotic context, the usually pleasant ringing tone of the phone inexplicably seemed urgent. Zhou Wang took out his cell phone and looked at it. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he pressed the answer button.

"Boss Zhou, it's me, Lin Feng..."

"Hello, Captain Lin, what can I do for you?"

The person who called Zhou Wang was Lin Feng, the elite captain of Tyrant Security. He had dealt with Zhou Wang before at the BSK Magic City store. It was also his instruction that Xiao Wang and others stayed to protect Zhou Wang.

Later, Zhou Wang entrusted him to help him investigate some things, including the whereabouts of the missing Gao Xuelan.

"Boss Zhou, I have found out the details of the Guo family's demise that you asked me to investigate... Please be careful... I have already... arrived..."

Lin Feng's tone seemed urgent, but his words were intermittent and mixed with a lot of noise. Zhou Wang couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

"What did you say? The signal on your end is not very good... Have you found out the truth about the fall of the Guo family?"

Zhou Wang asked several more questions, but Lin Feng's tone was still unclear. When he was about to say something else, the tone on the other end of the phone turned completely busy.

At the same time, Guo Wangshan's assistant also exclaimed, "Mr. Guo, my phone suddenly has no signal and I can't make calls!"

"what?"

Guo Wangshan was startled and quickly took out his mobile phone to check, and sure enough, there was no signal.

"Neither do I..."

"mine too!"

Zhou Wang glanced at his mobile phone and found that the signal had indeed turned to 0. Then he realized that it was not that the signal from Lin Feng was bad, but that his own mobile phone signal was interfered with.

Zhou Wang looked at Gao Xing who was standing beside him, "What about yours? No signal either?"

Gao Xing glanced down, then shook his head at Zhou Wang.

Seeing that Ding Yi seemed to be wondering why he was specifically asking about Gao Xing, Zhou Wang explained: "My bodyguard uses a satellite phone with the latest technology. If his has no signal, then it is impossible for anyone else to have a signal..."

"Can satellite phone signals be blocked?"

Xia Xiwei, who didn't know much about this, asked curiously.

"Satellite phones all use specific frequency bands, such as the L-band and S-band. If a high-power jammer covers the same frequency band, the signal can be blocked, especially if it is only partially blocked..."

Jiang Qingkui, a top student, immediately explained.

At this time, Xiao Wang, who had rushed over, finally found an opportunity to report: "Boss Zhou, all the stairways leading to the lower floors have collapsed, and there is a big fire burning. There are heavy traces of human intervention. The current preliminary judgment is that suspicious people have mixed into the logistics area on the 55th floor. Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi, who are in charge of the lower floors, are investigating, but the signal on the intercom is also very weak, so communication is a bit difficult now..."

After hearing Xiao Wang's report, Zhou Wang was about to say something thoughtfully when suddenly, a whistle sounded throughout the banquet hall.

"hvhv, hvhvhv, hvhv, hvhvhv, hvhvhvhvhvhvhv..."

The whistling sound came from the speakers all around, exuding a leisurely and cheerful feeling. If you have watched a classic movie, you will be able to instantly recognize the source of the whistle.

"This sounds like the whistle music from some movie..."

“Kill Bill.”

Xia Xiwei, who likes watching and studying movies, blurted out the answer immediately.

"Yes, from Kill Bill..."

Zhou Wang, who had also seen the movie, nodded in agreement.

"Movie?"

Guo Wangshan raised his eyebrows, "What is this Kill Bill movie about?"

"revenge."

Zhou Wang took a deep breath and said, "Although there are many artistic techniques, in short, it is actually a story of revenge..."

"revenge?"

Guo Wangshan frowned, as if he had thought of something, and asked Zhou Wang, "I heard you mentioned the Guo family when you answered the phone just now, is it..."

Zhou Wang was about to explain to Guo Wangshan that it was another branch of the Guo family when suddenly, the whistle playing on the speakers stopped abruptly.

Just when everyone was a little stunned, the whistle sounded again, but this time it was no longer from the speakers, but from a certain direction in the banquet hall.

The whistle seemed to have some kind of magic, which gradually quieted the originally noisy crowd. Everyone subconsciously looked in a certain direction, and with some surprised shouts, the crowd parted, and the whistle was clearly heard by Zhou Wang and others.

A tall young man in a respectable suit walked over with one hand in his pocket, whistling cheerfully.

With his other hand, he was playing with a metal lighter, and the "click" and "click" sounds seemed to be responding to some kind of rhythm. That lighter was very familiar to Zhang Dashao and others, because not long ago, they had just smoked cigarettes lit by this lighter.

"Isn't this Gou Ge's college roommate?"

Cheng Qing stared at the person who came and asked in a low voice, "What does this mean..."

"You'll know after watching it. Since he chose to show up at this time, it can't be just to whistle..."

Qiu Zeyu murmured.

……

Zhou Wang stared at Guo Nansheng who was walking towards him with complicated eyes.

At this moment, his temperament changed drastically.

He is no longer the silent and melancholy person he was when he was roasting chestnuts. He is a bit like the unrestrained and flamboyant person he was in college, but with less vigor and vitality. Instead, there is something indescribable.

"This is...Guo Nansheng?"

Guo Wangshan obviously knew the other party. After all, if you look closely, the two sides can actually be considered distant relatives, so Guo Wangshan was stunned for a moment, but then he thought of something and his expression changed slightly.

When everyone had different expressions and most of them were confused, Guo Nansheng swept his eyes across the crowd in front of him, lingered for a moment on their neatly dressed clothes, and finally walked towards Zhou Wang. When Gao Xing had a slight physical reaction, he stopped and stood two meters away from Zhou Wang.

"I'm sorry, Brother Gou. I'm attending your dinner as a guest, but I seem to be a little inconsiderate in my etiquette... This borrowed dress still doesn't fit me well."

Guo Nansheng pulled at his tight cuffs and sighed.

"But you know that if you come to my dinner party, no matter what you look like, I'm actually welcome to you, right?"

Zhou Wang, who had already vaguely guessed something in his heart, also sighed.

Guo Nansheng stared at Zhou Wang in a daze for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "We haven't finished the wine from that day, do you want to continue drinking?"

"it is good."

Zhou Wang nodded, then signaled to Xu Wenxi with his eyes. Xu Wenxi understood and quickly tidied up the messy dining table next to her and pulled two chairs over.

Just as Guo Nansheng was about to sit down, Qiu Zeyu's mother, Mrs. Lin, could not help but frown and scolded:

"I don't care who you are. Did you cause the explosion just now? Do you know what you are doing? This is the Magic City of China. Have you ever thought about it..."

Boom!

Before Mrs. Lin finished her scolding, another dull sound was heard. This time the noise was much more obvious than before. Not only was the floor shaking, but the ceiling was also shaking. A chandelier happened to fall off and hit Mrs. Lin's feet, scaring her so much that she let out a scream.

When everyone was in a panic, only Guo Nansheng sat down calmly and raised his hand to signal Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang looked around and saw that there were no casualties for the time being. After looking at Xiao Wang, he sat down at the dining table.

Guo Nansheng didn't look up, but he seemed to notice Xiao Wang's quick departure. He picked up a bottle of Wuliangye Jiulongtan that was still intact from the ground and said:
"I know your bodyguards are very capable, but tell them not to waste their time. There are more than twenty places where hydrogen explosives are placed from the 54th to the 56th floor of this building. Can they find them all? Will they find them in time?"

"Hydrogen explosives?"

From his happy yet serious look, Zhou Wang could tell that Guo Nansheng was not lying, but he did not say much. He just sat down at the dining table and took the glass of white wine that Guo Nansheng handed to him.

The two of them clinked their glasses in silence and drank it all in one gulp. Then Guo Nansheng poured another glass. After doing this three times in a row, Guo Nansheng burped and waved his hand, saying:

"No, I haven't drunk for a long time. I'm really going to get drunk if I drink again..."

"Now that we've finished our drinks, isn't it time to tell us your story?"

Zhou Wang said softly.

Guo Nansheng glanced at Zhou Wang and then let out a breath, "Brother Gou, do you remember what I told you that day, that not everything in this world can be solved with money?"

"But at least 95% of things are like this. Tell me, what is something you can't solve with money?"

"You've seen my dad, right?"

Guo Nansheng smiled, and when Zhou Wang nodded, Guo Nansheng said calmly: "He is dead... He committed suicide by jumping into the sea."

When Zhou Wang's eyelids twitched, Guo Nansheng continued, "My mother died too. She jumped off the building the day after my father passed away."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang couldn't help but take a deep breath.
