Chapter 1824: Chapter 753: All Beings Suffer_2

However, seeing that Liu Rushuang had no desire to tell stories, Zhou Wang said nothing and just listened to the music while driving.

...

About forty minutes later.

The BMW exited the highway, entered Qin Island City, and drove all the way to a residential area near Wanghai Farewell Society.

Liu Rushuang’s house was here. Zhou Wang hadn’t been here before, but he knew about the place. The average price of houses here should exceed 50,000 yuan per square meter, not the highest in Qin Island, but definitely in the "high-end neighborhood" range.

Under Liu Rushuang’s direction, Zhou Wang drove straight into the complex and parked under one of the unit buildings.

After Zhou Wang turned off the car, Liu Rushuang, who hadn’t said much during the journey, finally spoke: "Zhou Wang, thank you, that’s enough. You should go back now. I’ll thank you face to face tomorrow."

Zhou Wang was somewhat puzzled. He initially thought Liu Rushuang had an urgent matter in Qin Island but didn’t expect she was hurrying back home.

Looking at how quiet the house was without any lights on, why was she rushing home?

Did a burglar break in?

At least she should call the police, right...

But anyway, Zhou Wang wouldn’t pry into her privacy. He nodded, handed the car key to Liu Rushuang, and then turned to walk out of the complex.

After walking a few steps, not far from the car, Zhou Wang suddenly heard Liu Rushuang scream.

"Ah!"

Thinking something was wrong, Zhou Wang quickly turned around and ran back, taking three steps at a time.

He then saw Liu Rushuang leaning against the hallway, clutching her chest, seemingly greatly startled.

Zhou Wang quickly rushed over, propped the unit door that was about to close, and followed Liu Rushuang’s line of sight. He saw a rather shabby-looking man standing in the hallway, reaching out, trying to approach Liu Rushuang.

Having been trained by Xiao Wang and others, Zhou Wang had some skills and, without a word, launched a flying kick.

Bang!

The man, completely caught off guard, was kicked hard and slammed against the wall.

Remembering the teachings of Gao Xing and Xiao Wang, Zhou Wang prepared to deliver a few more kicks. But just then, Liu Rushuang came forward and grabbed Zhou Wang’s arm.

"Don’t, he...he’s my husband..."

Liu Rushuang seemed embarrassed but managed to speak intermittently.

Your husband?

Zhou Wang was quite baffled.

Not because of the man’s identity, he knew Liu Rushuang had a husband. It was just that their relationship seemed to have long broken down, living separately. Zhou Wang’s confusion was...

Looking at the shabby and almost homeless appearance of the man, and then at Liu Rushuang’s urban beauty style, it was hard to associate them with that kind of relationship.

The man struggled to get up from the ground, glanced fearfully at Zhou Wang, then fiercely turned his gaze to Liu Rushuang.

"Shuangshuang, who is he? How dare you cheat on me with a pretty boy?"

"Watch your language."

Zhou Wang saw that the man didn’t dare lash out at him and instantly cooled his expression.

Liu Rushuang, possibly fearing the situation would escalate, pulled Zhou Wang and signaled she would handle it. She walked forward two steps, her expression back to seriousness.

"Fang Luo, please stop addressing me the way you used to. The only thing left between us is that divorce certificate we haven’t processed yet."

"Ha, so heartless. Have you forgotten who helped you when you couldn’t even afford a meal before?"

The shabby man sneered.

"Haven’t I repaid you enough over the years, Fang Luo? I thought we had reached an agreement the last time we met, why are you here now?"

Liu Rushuang closed her eyes for a moment, asking expressionlessly.

"This place isn’t just your home, can I not return to my own home?"

The man named Fang Luo shouted: "Liu Rushuang, do you think changing the locks stops me? If you hadn’t returned tonight, I’d have asked the property management to open it for me! I’ve got ways to get in!"

"Stop wasting your breath on meaningless words."

Liu Rushuang maintained a cold attitude, "Fang Luo, if you are here to sign the divorce agreement, I can let you in. But if you want to cause trouble, I’ll have to get security to escort you out."

Perhaps reminded of something, Fang Luo’s face changed, and he suddenly dropped to his knees with a thud, bursting into tears.

"Shuangshuang, I beg you to save me this time. Those people are inhuman, they even found me at my hometown, I can’t go anywhere..."

Fang Luo’s sudden change almost made Zhou Wang suspect he was mentally ill. He was crying and trying to grab Liu Rushuang’s leg.

Liu Rushuang seemed unsurprised, as if accustomed to it. She took a step back to avoid Fang Luo’s touch.

"Fang Luo, what did I say when I gave you that money? Our lives can no longer intersect, yet what are you doing now?"

"I have no way out, really no way out. They will kill me, they even found Susu’s information..."

"What did you say?"

Previously calm, Liu Rushuang suddenly became agitated, rushing forward to grab Fang Luo’s collar.

Zhou Wang heard them arguing softly but couldn’t make out Liu Rushuang’s words. Fang Luo’s replies were also ambiguous, hard to hear clearly.

Soon, Liu Rushuang returned, rubbed her brow, and said to Zhou Wang: "Sorry to make you witness a joke... You should go back."

"Are you sure you don’t need me to stay with you?"

Zhou Wang, being polite, asked with concern.

"No need, I’m very familiar with the property management, they’ll send someone over. My... ex-husband doesn’t have the guts to do anything."

Seeing Liu Rushuang shake her head, Zhou Wang ceased insistence and left the unit door.

But Zhou Wang still stood by the roadside for a few minutes, about the time it took to smoke a cigarette, until he saw a group of people in property management and security uniforms approaching. Only then did Zhou Wang walk out of the complex.

From a simple friend’s perspective, he’s done all he could, what happens next really has nothing to do with him.

But now Zhou Wang, having seen all sorts of nonsense along the way, can make judgments based on experience and intuition—

Though the details between Liu Rushuang and Fang Luo are unclear, Zhou Wang’s seen enough of Fang Luo’s type. Once Liu Rushuang shows any softness, that typically spells endless trouble.

He just didn’t expect that someone as glamorous as Liu Rushuang would still have unspeakable troubles behind the scenes.

Zhou Wang took a last drag of his cigarette, stomped out the butt, and shook his head with a click of the tongue:

"Life is suffering for all."

...

"Brother Dog, this matter can’t just be left alone!"

In Wanghai Farewell Society, the angry Yang Hao slammed the table, making a deafening noise, "Those people are so dirty, resorting to such cheap tactics when they can’t compete in business, checking this every day, checking that every day. No, I’m going to write to report them..."

"Calm down, let me think. So they used some connections?"

Waking up early to Yang Hao’s noise, Zhou Wang rubbed his brow, signaling him to calm down.

"Brother Dog, I must hurry! Opening business has become a problem, do you know how much we’ve lost these days?"

Yang Hao paced at Zhou Wang’s bedside.

Fortunately, I didn’t ask Sister Xiao Yu to bathe me last night...

Zhou Wang felt quite grateful but was also stunned by Yang Hao’s words.

Hmm?
