Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 607 The "Disappearance" of Choi Min-ah

There's nothing to hide.

Zhou Wang shook his head, "You can come out with me."

Now, all four girls have become deeply entangled with him. Apart from Yu Duo, the other three girls have effectively become his women.

Even with Yu Duo, it was just a casual acquaintance, but their friendship was deep and meaningful.

Therefore, Zhou Wang felt that there was little point in continuing to hide it.

Moreover, Shen Yutong and Yu Duo may not have noticed anything, but someone as intelligent as Su Yaqing probably already saw through a lot of things.

Zhou Wang's words undoubtedly signaled something, and Cui Min'er was instantly overwhelmed with joy. But she quickly remembered something and asked uncertainly:

"Then, then my fiancé and I..."

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhou Wang immediately slapped her in displeasure. With a "smack," a red mark appeared on Cui Min'er's body, and she became teary-eyed, unable to help but let out a groan.

"Do I look like someone who would cheat on their partner? Cut off relationships that need to be cut off clearly, don't say I didn't warn you beforehand."

Zhou Wang's tone was domineering and unquestionable, but Cui Min'er felt her heart melt, though she still couldn't help but hesitate.

"But, but you said last night..."

"I was just kidding you."

Choi Min-ah fell silent.

She had mentally prepared herself for Zhou Wang to "mistreat" her in various ways, but Zhou Wang's attitude suddenly reversed, and her feelings could no longer be described as simple surprise.

At that moment, she glanced at Zhou Wang with seductive eyes, and the mirror reflecting the steamed bun began to slide again.

Zhou Wang hissed and quickly grabbed her slender waist as she twisted and turned.

"Again? Doesn't it hurt anymore?"

As far as I can remember, Choi Min-ah almost fainted last night.

"Then, I'll give it to you..."

Choi Min-ah whispered as her body began to slide down.

Although Zhou Wang was tempted, he looked at the clock on the wall and shook his head, stopping her.

"It's almost one o'clock, let's just forget about it."

Zhou Wang would never admit that he was no longer capable; it was indeed a bit too late.

At this hour, without even looking, you can guess that your phone is already flooded with unread calls and messages.

Although Zhou Wang is a hands-off manager, now that his family and business are so large, no matter how much power he delegates, there are still many things that require his approval every day.

Moreover, Su Yajing and the others are probably still waiting for her. Although she locked the door last night, Su Yajing came back and found that Cui Min'er was nowhere to be found, so they may have already guessed what happened.

Even if Zhou Wang decides to stop hiding it, he still needs to exercise some restraint.

Thinking this, Zhou Wang urged Cui Min'er to wash up, while he first picked up his phone, which was set to Do Not Disturb mode, from the bedside table and glanced at it.

Zhou Wang then paused slightly, his brows furrowing.

Under normal circumstances, if he doesn't wake up until noon, there will be at most a dozen missed calls on his phone. Even if Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenqian really have something to say, they won't call back after calling two or three times and finding that no one is answering.

But at this moment, Zhou Wang's phone screen showed more than thirty missed calls, which was a bit abnormal.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Wang didn't rush to unlock his phone. Instead, he got up, dressed, and went to the bathroom to wash up with Cui Min'er. Then he opened the door and went to the living room.

As he expected, all three girls were already up. Shen Yutong was doing yoga on the balcony, Yu Duo was scrolling through her phone on the sofa, and Su Yajing was fiddling with something at the dining table.

Upon hearing the sound of the master bedroom door opening, six eyes from different directions all turned to look.

When Yu Duo and Shen Yutong saw Zhou Wang walk out together with Cui Min'er, whose face was slightly flushed and whose head was lowered, not daring to look up, especially since Cui Min'er was wearing a coat in a suspicious manner, their expressions instantly became strange.

Even in the presidential suite, there weren't enough guest rooms, so Yu Duo and Cui Min'er slept in one room, Shen Yutong and Su Yaqing slept in another, and Zhou Wang occupied the master bedroom by himself.

This morning, after the three girls woke up one after another, Shen Yutong and Su Yaqing were still playing on their phones in the room when Yu Duo suddenly rushed in shouting, "Sister Min'er is missing! She disappeared all night!"

Su Yaqing and Shen Yutong were also very nervous at first, but Su Yaqing was a little puzzled:
"Since you didn't see her when you came back last night, why did you only tell me this morning?"

"When I came back, I saw her phone and bag were still in the room, so I thought she had just gone out temporarily and didn't think much of it. But when I woke up this morning, I found her bag and phone were still there, and she hadn't changed out of her pajamas. I looked everywhere but couldn't find her..."

Yu Duo looked distressed and said anxiously, "Do you think something might have happened to Sister Min'er? It's all my fault for being so stupid. I should have noticed last night!"

Hearing Yu Duo's description, Shen Yutong immediately became a little anxious.

This is, after all, Australia, not the mainland they are familiar with. They've watched too many movies, so if Cui Min'er really has been kidnapped by some criminal group, the consequences would be serious.

Only Su Yajing subconsciously didn't think anything would happen to Cui Min'er. So what if it was Macau? As long as it was Chinese territory, the security was impeccable.

Not to mention that this is Galaxy Resort City, which is practically half of Zhou Wang's territory. Zhou Wang has also arranged for bodyguards to follow them whenever they go out, so theoretically, Cui Min'er shouldn't have any problems.

But it is also true that she did not return to her room all night.

So Su Yaqing thought about it carefully again, and suddenly a thought struck her. She looked at Yu Duo and asked, "When you said you had looked for everything, did you mean the entire suite?"

"Uh-huh."

Yu Duo, who was already on the verge of tears, nodded, then remembered something, "Oh, right, except for that big bad guy's room, I didn't look at it."

Yu Duo was initially hesitant, but after spending time with him recently, she felt that even if she called Zhou Wang "bad guy," Su Yaqing didn't seem to react much, so Yu Duo gradually got used to it.

Upon hearing that it was Zhou Wang's room, Su Yaqing became even more certain of her guess. She asked with a strange look in her eyes, "Why didn't you look into Zhou Wang's room?"

"Because the door is locked, I can't get in."

Yu Duo said matter-of-factly, "Besides, Cui Min'er couldn't possibly run into the big bad guy's room!"

you are too naive!
Su Yaqing could only silently complain in her heart, but after realizing what was happening, she could only shake her head and sigh, "No need to look anymore, I know where Cui Min'er is."

"Ah, you knew?" Shen Yutong, who was looking up the emergency contact number for Macau Island, was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "How did you know? Where did she go?"

Su Yaqing couldn't voice her guess; she had always been the kind of girl who would prioritize Zhou Wang's perspective when considering issues.

Because she wasn't sure if Zhou Wang was willing to let them know, Su Yaqing could only pretend to be clueless at this moment.

Especially since she had just been scolded by Zhou Wang yesterday, and was still feeling uneasy about whether her brother loved her anymore, she dared not do anything to upset Zhou Wang.

So when Yu Duo and Shen Yutong asked her, she could only stammer, "You'll find out soon enough."

Since Su Yaqing had said so, Yu Duo and Shen Yutong, though puzzled, did not investigate further out of trust between sisters... They were well aware that their intelligence was inferior to Su Yaqing's.

They waited absentmindedly until noon, and Su Yaqing had even prepared lunch, but Cui Min'er still hadn't appeared. Just as Yu Duo was about to ask her, Cui Min'er walked out of Zhou Wang's bedroom...

Yu Duo and Shen Yutong were completely dumbfounded.

Given that Cui Min'er disappeared for a whole night and Zhou Wang's door remained locked, does that mean that Cui Min'er stayed in Zhou Wang's room all night?

All night long...

The relatively naive Yu Duo wouldn't immediately make that connection, but Shen Yutong carefully examined Cui Min'er.

Although Cui Min'er was wrapped in a coat and had her head down, Shen Yutong could still discern some facts that were difficult for her to accept from many details.

For example, Choi Min-ah's hair was messy and she wasn't wearing lipstick. For a girl who is used to being meticulous, it's almost impossible for her to go out without taking care of herself...

For example, although Choi Min-ah's coat covered her legs, her straight calves were exposed, and some suspicious bruises could be seen on them...

For example, Choi Min-ah's ears were red, which is something that would never happen to someone as confident as her...

Yu Duo was just stunned, not stupid. She gradually realized what was going on. She raised her little hand tremblingly, pointed at Zhou Wang, then at Cui Min'er, and then at Zhou Wang again.

She seemed to want to say something, but didn't know what to say.

In this awkward and strange atmosphere, it was Su Yajing who broke the silence first.

"Brother, I guessed you'd be waking up soon. I just had them bring lunch over, come and eat it while it's hot... Hehe, Min'er will probably have to go back to her room to wash up, so we won't wait for her."

Su Yajing ran happily to Zhou Wang, but then stopped abruptly, smiling brightly as she spoke.

Zhou Wang looked up. Since he already knew her so well, he immediately noticed the hint of unease deep in Su Yajing's eyes.

Thinking about what happened yesterday, Zhou Wang felt a wave of guilt. He took Su Yajing's hand and squeezed it, and whispered, "I'm sorry about yesterday... I wasn't in a good state at the time. Just think of it as me being abnormal. I won't be mean to you again."

"elder brother……"

Su Yaqing almost burst into tears in a second.

She had thought Zhou Wang might try to coax her, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly, or even that he would apologize to her directly.

She had already given everything to Zhou Wang, and Su Yaqing was well aware that there were so many women around Zhou Wang who were more beautiful and outstanding than herself. At times, she even felt more inferior than Cui Min'er...

So when she felt the strength from Zhou Wang's palm, she was truly moved to tears.

"Let's eat first."

Because of the two pairs of eyes following him from behind, Zhou Wang didn't say much, but just rubbed her head and said something.

Choi Min-ah had already scurried back to her room, slammed the door shut, and busied herself tidying up.

The atmosphere during the meal was also strange. Yu Duo and Shen Yutong each hesitated to speak at different times, but as long as they didn't actually say anything, Zhou Wang would pretend not to understand.

Although he had already planned to let the four girls "recognize each other," it didn't mean that Zhou Wang would willingly put himself in such a precarious position... After all, Zhou Wang was still a little nervous.

After finishing his lunch in a flash, Zhou Wang coughed lightly and said before Yu Duo could speak again, "You guys take your time eating. I have something very important to take care of."

Upon hearing that Zhou Wang had official business to attend to, the three girls immediately shut their mouths in unison.

This made Zhou Wang sigh, "A man really does need a career..."

Upon arriving at the study in the presidential suite, Zhou Wang closed the door and then slowly unlocked his phone.

It wasn't that Zhou Wang didn't care, but he understood very well that if there was something extremely urgent, even if Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenqian couldn't contact him, they would have Gao Xing or Xiao Wang remind him.

So since it hasn't come to that point, it means it's not a very urgent matter, which is why Zhou Wang chose to have lunch with the girls first before dealing with it.

He thought about it, checked the time, and decided to call Xu Wenqian instead.

Although Jiang Qingkui called more often, Zhou Wang knew that she had a habit of taking a lunch break. On the other hand, Xu Wenqian was probably used to working like a beast of burden at the bank and was often so busy that she would not even eat lunch. She was so engrossed in her work that she forgot to eat and sleep.

As expected, Xu Wenqian answered almost instantly.

"Hey, boss, you're finally awake!"

Whenever Xu Wenqian answers Zhou Wang's call, she is always full of energy and cheerfulness. Combined with her voice, which is comparable to that of a voice actress, she always makes Zhou Wang feel happy.

In fact, the reason why we wanted to hire Xu Wenqian as our assistant was because we liked her beautiful voice.

Well, it has absolutely nothing to do with her having no hair on her lip.

Speaking of which, when will there be an opportunity to put Xu Wenqian and Cui Min'er side by side? That scene... cough cough.

Zhou Wang forced his wandering thoughts back on track and said into the phone, "Qianqian, what's up? I saw that you and Qingkui have called me almost ten times."

"Wait a minute, boss, you may not have had time to go online yet. Let me send you some things to look at first."

As Xu Wenqian spoke, she sent several links to Zhou Wang's WeChat in one go.

Zhou Wang kept the phone on speakerphone and clicked on the links sent by Xu Wenqian one by one, which were clearly reposted from foreign media.

As he looked at it, Zhou Wang's brows furrowed deeply.

"Boss, this matter started to escalate in the early hours of last night. After BlackPink released its official statement, the impact of the whole thing has reached its peak in South Korea."

Xu Wenqian's tone was serious, yet tinged with a hint of strangeness, "Qingkui and I both believe that although only a few scattered fans and bloggers in China have reposted this matter so far, if left unchecked, it will dominate the domestic trending topics list within today..."
