Chapter 199 Lin Zhou's eyes changed: Want to play with fire? I'll play along to the end.
Lin Zhou emerged from the shadows of the corridor.
The footsteps were so light they almost melted into the carpet.
But Su Qingge, who was working at the dining table, still keenly sensed something was amiss.
She looked up, her gaze passing over the lenses of her blue light blocking glasses and landing on Lin Zhou.
In just a fleeting moment of eye contact, Su Qingge's heart skipped a beat.
Not right.
Something's really wrong.
Lin Zhou, who always wore slippers, had a lazy look on his face, and seemed like he could use the sky as a blanket even if it fell, was gone.
The man walking towards her at this moment, although wearing the same home clothes, had undergone a complete transformation in his demeanor.
The feeling was like a peerless weapon that had been hidden in its sheath for seven years, suddenly being drawn out.
Its sharp edge was fully revealed, and its chilling aura was palpable.
Even more so, a trace of chilling violence lingered in his eyes.
"husband?"
Su Qingge subconsciously closed her laptop, stood up, and went to greet her.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
She reached out her slightly cool hand and grabbed Lin Zhou's wrist, her eyes filled with worry.
"Why are your hands so cold?"
Only when he felt the soft warmth from her palm did the destructive storm in Lin Zhou's eyes finally subside.
He took Su Qingge's hand in his own and gently pulled her into his arms.
He rested his chin on her forehead and took a deep breath of the fragrance emanating from her hair.
"Don't be afraid."
Lin Zhou's voice was low and slightly hoarse, yet it conveyed an unprecedented firmness.
"I'm fine. I just suddenly realized something while I was putting Nuonuo to sleep."
"What have you figured out?" Su Qingge looked up, trying to see his eyes clearly.
"I understand..."
Lin Zhou tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a very faint smile.
"From now on, no matter what kind of monsters or demons I encounter, I will no longer show mercy."
Su Qingge was taken aback, thinking he was still angry about what happened in the conference room during the day.
"What happened today is over, and Dad has helped us sort it out. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Yes, I know."
Lin Zhou ruffled her hair and led her back to sit down at the dining table.
"You go ahead with your work, I'll reply to a work email."
Lin Zhou sat opposite Su Qingge and took out his black phone.
Unlock.
Access the encrypted email account.
The photo with the towering flames and the ruby ring still lies quietly on the screen.
Lin Zhou's eyes turned icy cold again.
Without hesitation, his slender fingers flew across the virtual keyboard.
There was no probing, no small talk.
There was only one reply, laced with intense murderous intent.
No matter who you are, no matter what you want.
I need evidence.
Produce evidence that will nail him to his death, and name your price.
send.
The email transformed into a paper airplane icon and instantly disappeared into the encrypted channel.
Lin Zhou turned his phone upside down and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
The net has been cast.
Now, let's see how much of a surprise this mysterious person hiding in the shadows can bring him.
at the same time.
The top floor of the Royal Dynasty Entertainment headquarters in Beijing's CBD.
The cleaners had carefully cleaned up the broken glass and red wine stains scattered all over the floor.
The huge office was now filled with the scent of expensive sandalwood.
They were trying to cover up the rage and humiliation that had just occurred here.
Zhou Lixing sat in a brand-new leather swivel chair, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
On the middle finger of his right hand, the dark red gemstone ring shimmered faintly in the dim light.
"Young Master..."
The trusted assistant pushed open the door and came in, holding an urgent summary document in his hand, his voice extremely low.
"Our losses today have been tallied; our market value has evaporated by nearly six billion."
"Several major IPs that had been agreed upon have temporarily suspended their cooperation intentions due to online public opinion."
"Bang!"
Zhou Lixing slammed his hand on the desk, causing the pen on it to roll to the ground.
"Su Zhentian! That old codger's got some backbone!"
He cursed through gritted teeth.
"Does he really think he can trample me, Zhou Lixing, under his feet by writing a lousy article?"
"Young Master, please calm down." The assistant quickly handed over a glass of warm water. "After all, the Su family has deep roots in the capital. We really underestimated that old man's influence this time."
"He's nothing but a pedantic scholar who only knows how to preach with his pen."
Zhou Lixing sneered, a morbid madness flashing in his eyes.
He had no idea that an ant he had casually crushed seven years ago had not only come back to life, but had also set its sights on his throat with a hundredfold hatred.
His anger is now entirely focused on Lin Zhou and Starry Sky Media.
"If we can't kill them in the stock market, then we'll drain them dry in the business!"
Zhou Lixing twirled the ruby ring on his finger, his tone chilling.
"Isn't Starry Sky Media currently relying on just a few of its star singers to keep things going?"
"Go, contact them privately."
"I'll pay double the penalty for breach of contract! They can pick any top-tier resources they want!"
"I want to see Starry Sky Media become an empty shell without any artists before sunset tomorrow!"
The assistant's eyes lit up, and his face became all fawning.
"Young Master's move to cut off the source of the problem is brilliant! Without the artists, all their big-budget publicity is just a joke."
"Go and do it."
Zhou Lixing leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
"I'll show that good-for-nothing Lin Zhou that in this industry, capital is the only rule!"
Night was falling.
In the living room of the Lin family villa, Su Qingge closed her laptop and wearily rubbed her neck.
"Finally finished."
She was about to stand up when she felt a lightness in her body.
Lin Zhou had already lifted her up from behind.
"Ah! What are you doing?" Su Qingge exclaimed in surprise, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Take my wife back to her room to sleep."
Lin Zhou chuckled softly, steadily carried her upstairs, and placed her on the soft bed.
"Get a good night's sleep, tomorrow is another new day."
He placed a goodnight kiss on Su Qingge's forehead.
He watched as his wife fell into a deep sleep, her breathing becoming even.
Lin Zhou helped her cover herself with the blanket, then turned and walked out of the bedroom.
He didn't turn on the light.
Instead, he went alone to the huge floor-to-ceiling window at the end of the corridor.
outside the window.
The late autumn night wind swept up a few fallen leaves, and the entire capital city was shrouded in a dazzling yet cold sea of neon lights.
In the distance, the towering black silhouette of the Dynasty Building could be vaguely seen.
It's like a sharp sword stuck in the heart of the city.
Lin Zhou put one hand in his pocket and quietly gazed in that direction.
His former languid and carefree demeanor had been completely replaced by a chilling and murderous aura.
In the darkness, his eyes were even deeper than the night outside the window.
"A radical solution? The rules of capital?"
Lin Zhou recalled the internal communication signals of the dynasty that the system had just intercepted, and a cruel sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.
Seven years ago, you were high above, watching the Lin family be reduced to ashes in a sea of fire.
Seven years later, do you still want to use the same methods to harm the people I care about?
It's impossible.
Since God has given me this body and allowed me to start over, I'm glad I did.
Then I'll poke a hole in this sky for you!
Lin Zhou raised his hand, his fingertips lightly touching the outline of the Royal Dynasty Building through the glass.
The sound was as soft as a breeze, yet it carried the immense power to tear everything apart.
"Zhou Lixing".
"Since you're willing to risk your life."
"Then I'll play along with you to the very end."
