The black car looked very ordinary, but when Zhang Ziyi saw the license plate, his facial expression changed instantly, and he stopped walking. He stared at the car, filled with surprise and uncertainty.
The police chief, puzzled, glanced at Zhang Ziyi and, seeing his distressed expression, also looked toward the black car.
Even Lucine and her group, who had parked the car at a distance, couldn’t help but look over. Latest content published on noⅴelfire.net
Under everyone’s gaze, the driver’s door of the black sedan was pushed open, and a man dressed in black casual clothing, with a strikingly handsome face, appeared before them.
Despite driving such a cheap, ordinary car, his demeanor was more elegant than anyone present, especially the slightly upturned phoenix eyes behind his glasses, sharp and cold, yet carrying a touch of careless laziness.
As soon as he appeared, he captured everyone’s attention.
Zhang Ziyi’s complexion changed drastically as soon as he recognized the person.
Before he could speak, Fu Si’s gaze had already turned towards him.
Seeing Zhang Ziyi, Fu Si’s eyebrows slightly raised, and in a low, lazy voice, he spoke, "Zhang Ziyi? What mischief are you up to this time?"
Zhang Ziyi wanted to curse!
Would he ever be able to misbehave properly this year? Huh?!
But outwardly, Zhang Ziyi dared not show any displeasure and quickly shook his head, "No, no, brother, I’m here to shoot a charity event, doing good deeds!"
He hurriedly moved away from the police chief, adding, "This is the local chief, he just came for a routine inspection at the inn! It was purely a coincidence!"
In front of Fu Si, he truly didn’t have any temper to show.
Although the Zhang Family was nominally a branch of the Fu Family, they were distantly related. Normally, seeing someone from the Fu Family was as hard as reaching the heavens.
Logically speaking, Zhang Ziyi shouldn’t be so afraid of Fu Si.
But in his youth, Zhang Ziyi had been reckless and had done many awful things in the name of the Fu Family, which had tarnished their reputation.
The one who had come to teach him a lesson was Fu Si, who was barely twenty years old at the time.
Since then, Zhang Ziyi developed a fear that he couldn’t erase his whole life, causing him to tremble just hearing Fu Si’s name, let alone facing him directly.
"A routine inspection, huh..." Fu Sifeng glanced at the chief.
He was not interested in what Zhang Ziyi was up to, but he was very interested in getting to know this local police chief.
"Hello," Fu Si approached the chief and extended a polite hand, "I’m Fu Si. Once your routine inspection is done, could you possibly take me to Cloud Village?"
Zhang Ziyi quickly spoke up, "Chief, he’s my brother, from the Kyoto Fu Family... If you’re free, maybe you could start on important matters with my brother!"
He was a bit unclear about the current situation, but upon hearing "Kyoto Fu Family," he immediately understood what he should do.
"The inspection can wait." The chief shook Fu Si’s hand with warm enthusiasm, "I’ll take you to Cloud Village first. Are you going there for business?"
Fu Si smiled, "No, to find someone."
"Oh, to find someone..." The chief was confused, thinking that Cloud Village only housed old men and women who had no ties with the Kyoto Fu Family.
But he tactfully avoided asking, got into the police car, and led the way.
Fu Si drove behind him.
Only when his car had moved far away did Zhang Ziyi, who stood stiffly in a military posture, finally take a deep breath. His legs weakened and he sat down on the side.
Lucine and her manager approached, asking who Fu Si was.
"Don’t bother, just know that he’s someone you can’t afford to mess with," Zhang Ziyi replied weakly, waving his hand.
"Did you secure a room in the inn?" the manager asked.
Zhang Ziyi: "...just stay outside for a couple of days, I’ll have someone urgently build a room in the village."
"Build a room??" the manager was shocked, "Can’t we just squeeze in some room in there and have them make space for us?"
Zhang Ziyi glanced at the manager and replied irritably, "Do you think I don’t want to?"
It’s just that he didn’t dare!
With Fu Si around, even if he couldn’t be bothered to meddle, Zhang Ziyi couldn’t risk doing anything.
Zhang Zifeng was still looking in the direction in which Fu Si had disappeared, and after a while, he said with some confusion, "Brother, Mr. Fu went to Cloud Village, what’s he doing coming here? Could he be lost?"
