Chapter 312 The Martial World Shakes

hotel.

"Mr. Zhang~"

Zhang Yangang had just come out of the suite where Leader Lin was staying when Han Sanping called out to him.

Han Sanping looked at Zhang Yan with a probing gaze: "That Chen Zhiming..."

Zhang Yan spread his hands, half-jokingly saying, "I don't know what happened either, maybe it was just a coincidence."

He naturally guessed that this was the work of the Xiang family, and because of this, he became more wary of Xiang Huaqiang. Therefore, apart from Chen Hong and Leader Lin, he did not reveal his guess to anyone else.

"is it?"

Han Sanping clearly didn't believe it. If Chen Zhiming had been caught on the island, Zhang Yan could have explained it as a coincidence. But now Chen Zhiming was clearly caught on the mainland.

Considering Zhang Yan's young age, how he managed to thrive in Tianjin, and how he, despite never having been abroad, managed to gather so much damaging information about overseas countries...

Han Sanping secretly speculated that the other party might be an illegitimate child of a certain family, someone who, although unable to reveal his identity, was secretly under their protection.

Originally, Han Sanping only wanted Zhang Yan to help him come up with ideas, but now that eagerness for quick success has dissipated considerably, and he is now preparing to establish a long-term and stable relationship with Zhang Yan.

After chatting for a few minutes, Secretary Hu came out and called Han Sanping in to talk. Han Sanping then made an appointment with Zhang Yan to meet up after the inspection team returned to Beijing and discuss the film studio's restructuring in detail.

Then Zhang Yan went downstairs alone to Chen Hong and Gong Li's room.

Now, Gong Li's gaze towards Zhang Yan carries a hint of awe, after all, she has truly witnessed how arrogant and domineering Chen Zhiming was.

When Jet Li's manager was shot and killed, the entire Hong Kong film industry knew who did it, but no one dared to speak out.

As a result, Chen Zhiming had just offended Chen Hong when Pengcheng was arrested...

What exactly is Zhang Zong's background?!

Zhang Yan ignored Gong Li's strange look and said to Chen Hong, "Honey, Director Lin has already arranged a flight for 5 pm. It seems our plan to do a big shopping spree in Hong Kong is out of the question."

"It's okay, I bought a lot of things in Shanghai anyway." Chen Hong came up on tiptoe and pecked Zhang Yan on the cheek, laughing, "Besides, you've already done more than enough for me."

She knew the truth, and she said it on purpose to put on a show in front of Gong Li—to be honest, she quite liked the international film queen's cautious manner, wanting to ask but not daring to.

Gong Li's expression did indeed change slightly.

Just then, Zhang Yan suddenly received a call from Xiang Huaqiang. Hearing that the other party was planning to visit him, he naturally agreed without hesitation.

Although Zhang Yan strongly suspected that the news that Chen Zhiming wanted to force Chen Hong to film an erotic film was most likely spread by Xiang Huaqiang, the other party did help him get revenge, and he would definitely give him the reward he deserved.

After all, his claim of "crossing the river like a dragon" was just a facade, while the Xiang family's influence had truly "crossed the river."

Gong Li, who was listening intently, vaguely heard Xiang Huaqiang's name and thought to herself: Even the Xiang family has taken the initiative to visit President Zhang.

It's no wonder Gong Li thought that way. Ever since Chen Zhiming was arrested, she has received many phone calls, some asking her for information, and others trying to get to know Zhang Yan through her.

These people were all incredibly powerful, and luckily the foreigners quickly ordered them to leave, otherwise Gong Li wouldn't have known how to handle the situation.

However, this fulfilled Gong Li's wish.

Her purpose in infiltrating the inspection team was to put on a facade of expertise in optoelectronics, but now she's wearing two layers, each more impressive than the last.

It looks like I'll be quite busy on Hong Kong Island for the foreseeable future.

…………

That afternoon, at Kai Tak Airport.

"Hem home shovel!"

Having just passed through numerous checkpoints, Cai Yinong muttered to herself while touching up her makeup: "Those two uniformed policemen were clearly trying to take advantage of me. If it weren't for wanting to get an exclusive story, I would have complained about them on the spot!" Cai Yinong joined the newspaper last year and is currently working as a current affairs reporter.

Because she grew up in mainland China, the newspaper's leadership specifically requested her name for this interview.

"Ah K!"

At this moment, the cameraman who came in with her suddenly pointed ahead and said, "It looks like we're here to go to jail. All those questions you prepared were probably for nothing."

"what?"

Cai Yinong looked in the direction he pointed and her face immediately turned green—the police had actually set up a special filming area, which was at least ten meters away from the boarding gate.

As a result, the reporters' cameras and microphones couldn't even get in front of Zhang Yan; at most, they could only take a few photos from a distance.

"Hem home shovel!"

Cai Yinong stomped her feet in anger: "If we had known earlier, we would have waited outside. Now we've been taken advantage of for nothing..."

"You should just give up. There are police everywhere outside, and they won't let us get close to him." The cameraman didn't care. It wasn't like he was the only one who couldn't get close-up shots. He could just adjust the focus and get the job done.

Just as Cai Yinong was gritting her teeth.

Zhang Yan and Chen Hong were already in a special car sent by the GY government, escorted by a dozen mounted police officers, heading towards the airport.

Clearly, the foreigners hadn't figured out what had happened with Chen Zhiming's arrest, so they preferred to believe it was true and regarded Zhang Yan as an important figure with a powerful background.

Although the order to leave the country within a specified period was not cancelled, the escort was far beyond what was required, and this scene, in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, added a touch of mystery to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan and Chen Hong sat side by side in the extended Lincoln, looking at the mounted police officers accompanying them outside, and said with a helpless smile, "I guess now the Hong Kong media will be even more speculating about who we are."

"Isn't this great? We're leaving anyway, so why care what they say?" Chen Hong chuckled as she pulled a diamond ring out of her bag, took Zhang Yan's left hand, and put it on his middle finger.

Zhang Yan glanced at the extravagant diamond ring and said, "Isn't this a bit unlucky?"

The ring originally belonged to Chen Zhiming, but after Zhang Yan agreed to introduce Lin to the leader, Xiang Huaqiang gave it to Chen Hong. As for Andy Lau's "Heaven and Earth," Zhang Yan didn't give a definitive answer, only saying that they would wait until the finished film was released to see the quality before making a decision.

"He was just arrested, it's not like... Oh well, if you don't like it later, you can just put it away."

Hearing Chen Hong say that, Zhang Yan was in no hurry to pick it off.

Upon arriving at the airport, some tabloid reporters shouted from afar, but Zhang Yan naturally ignored them.

Because the British had made prior arrangements, Zhang Yan was notified that he could board the plane after waiting in the VIP lounge for less than 10 minutes.

As a result, there was another flurry of flashing lights at the boarding gate.

Zhang Yan was suddenly blinded by the light, and subconsciously raised his hand to scratch the corner of his eye. Then he pulled Chen Hong and quickly went up the gangway.

"OK, time to call it a day and have some tea."

The photographer checked the camera and was about to tell Cai Yinong to leave when he suddenly heard Cai Yinong excitedly say, "Wait a minute, rewind, to the photo of him raising his hand to rub his eyes!"

The photographer, puzzled, pulled up the photo and commented, "It looks a bit sleepy; this one definitely can't be the cover..."

"Who said that!"

Cai Yinong excitedly pointed at Zhang Yan's hand and said, "This is clearly an exclusive..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her speech, and pulled the cameraman back.

The next day, a newspaper published a photo of Zhang Yan rubbing his eyes on its front page, along with an enlarged image of the diamond ring, and noted its source.

The title is: "The martial arts world is shaken! The Dragon Crossing the River cripples the 'Mad Dog' with a single palm strike, and the Ruthless King becomes a prisoner in an instant."
