Upon arriving at a café, Wang Ziyan seemed to have already chosen a spot. The two sat across from each other, ordered coffee, and Bing Tianyi helplessly said, "You really are wealthy. If I had to spend one or two hundred on this, I wouldn't be able to make that decision."
"What exactly is going on between you and Chen Qian?" Wang Ziyan finally couldn't hold back and asked after a long pause.
Of course, Bing Tianyi didn't expect Wang Ziyan to come all this way to ask him this question. Seeing the sincere expression on her face, Bing Tianyi smiled helplessly and said, "Why do you want to know? What does it have to do with you?"
Wang Ziyan's attitude was firm as she asked Bing Tianyi clearly, "I'm asking you right now, what is your relationship with Chen Qian? Are you really engaged like they say at school?"
Bing Tianyi was taken aback by Wang Ziyan's words; his mind was a mess at that moment.
After a long while, Bing Tianyi said with a bitter smile: “Who did you hear this from?”
"Don't worry about who I heard it from; I just want to know if what they said is true," Wang Ziyan replied firmly.
Bing Tianyi didn't think much and retorted, "As I said before, whether it's true or not has nothing to do with you. This is my business; it's my own matter."
Before Bing Tianyi could finish his sentence, he was unexpectedly slapped in the face by Wang Ziyan.
At that moment, Bing Tianyi was stunned. He covered his right cheek with both hands, furrowing his brows as he looked at Wang Ziyan. Meanwhile, Wang Ziyan's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at him with an agitated expression.
After a moment, Bing Tianyi kept rubbing his face with his right hand and muttered, "Have you lost your mind? With so many people around, you actually hit me."
At the same time, customers and staff around them cast unusual glances at Bing Tianyi. They all thought that this plain-looking guy must have done something wrong to upset the beautiful woman in front of him. Naturally, everyone could think of various possibilities for what that might be.
Wang Ziyan seemed to realize she had gone too far. She slightly turned her head and glanced around with her peripheral vision before slowly sitting back down in front of Bing Tianyi. Lowering her head, she shook her coffee cup a few times and then quietly asked, "I'm asking you one more time: what is your relationship with Chen Qian?"
Bing Tianyi was also infuriated and coldly laughed at Wang Ziyan in front of him: "Since you insist on digging deeper, I have no reason to hide it from you. To be honest, Chen Qian is currently my fiancée."
Upon hearing this, surprise filled Wang Ziyan's face as she repeatedly exclaimed, "This is impossible! You must be lying! A woman like her could never be with someone like you."
Bing Tianyi stared intently at Wang Ziyan's changing expressions, feeling perplexed about what this girl was really thinking. Although he had previously regarded Wang Ziyan as his ideal woman, he had never taken the time to understand her in detail.
Now, as her expressions shifted continuously, Bing Tianyi felt as if he had done something wrong. However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what that mistake was.
As time passed, after muttering to herself for a while, Wang Ziyan suddenly stood up, her face pale, and turned to walk out of the shop.
Bing Tianyi sat in his chair, watching Wang Ziyan leave in a daze, his heart racing with anxiety. While he could guess some things, he didn't dare to believe that his suspicions were true.
"Could it be that this girl really has feelings for me?"
With that thought in mind, Bing Tianyi hurriedly got up and rushed after Wang Ziyan. Just as he stood up, a waitress quickly approached him and said, "Sir, please settle your bill."
Feeling helpless, Bing Tianyi took out two hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and handed them to the waitress. After she returned his change, he hurried out the door.
However, by the time he stepped outside, Wang Ziyan had already vanished into the bustling street.
Looking at the crowd flowing by, Bing Tianyi forced a bitter smile. Deep down, he kept asking himself what was going on. Could it be that such a significant change had truly occurred?
But then again, how could someone like Wang Ziyan, a refined young lady from a prominent family, possibly have feelings for someone like him?
Just as Bing Tianyi was about to head back inside to help his parents, he suddenly heard Brother Kun calling from behind.
"Hey brother, what are you doing here?" Brother Kun approached quickly with two younger guys trailing behind him, casually smoking cigarettes.
Bing Tianyi turned around and forced a smile while putting his hands in his pockets. He greeted Brother Kun with a grin and asked, "Brother Kun, it's been a few days since I last saw you. Where have you been making money lately?"
In response to Bing Tianyi's question, Brother Kun didn't hold back at all and laughed heartily. "I went to help Crow Brother with some coal work. Do you have time now? Want to find a place to sit down?"
"Sure," Bing Tianyi nodded with a smile at Brother Kun.
A few people casually found a bar on the street. Just as they sat down, Brother Kun looked at Bing Tianyi and smiled, "Bro, I didn't expect you to be getting better and better. I just got back and heard something from Crow Brother. I don't know if it's true or not."
Seeing the mysterious smile on Brother Kun's face, Bing Tianyi could guess what he was about to ask without him having to say it outright.
Thinking of this, Bing Tianyi smiled wryly and said, "Actually, this matter is purely coincidental."
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Kun rubbed his hands together and asked Bing Tianyi with a smile, "Bro, what are you planning to do about the situation in West District?"
"I haven't thought it through yet. I'll decide once the court's judgment comes down," Bing Tianyi replied, tapping the table with his right hand while looking at Brother Kun.
Just after Bing Tianyi finished speaking, Brother Kun quickly said with a smile, "Bro, I actually think you should act sooner rather than later."
"Brother Kun, can you analyze for me why you say that?" Bing Tianyi asked curiously after hearing Brother Kun's words.
At this moment, Brother Kun glanced at the two younger brothers beside him and quietly said to them, "Alright, you guys go back to the shop first."
The two younger brothers nodded with smiles and left. Then Brother Kun spoke directly to Bing Tianyi, "Bro, think about it. Since the situation is like this and such a good opportunity has come up, why not seize it?"
"Seize what?" Bing Tianyi pretended to be curious.
Brother Kun sighed helplessly, "Are you really that clueless or just pretending? Think about it: Big Head is gone, and West District is developing. As far as I know, three of Big Head's men have been caught by the police—Yan Debiao has killed someone. The goat was in the drug business and got caught too. Although Wang Zhiqing hasn't done anything too bad, he’s still considered an accomplice of Big Head and will probably get sentenced for three to five years. This leaves West District in a leaderless state. And you are the one who brought down Big Head; according to the rules of the underworld, West District should be managed by you."
"I think it's better to wait a bit longer. Besides, I'm planning to go back to school soon. I'm worried that managing all this will interfere with my studies," Bing Tianyi replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Brother Kun was completely speechless. He held his head in his hands and shook it before lifting a glass of alcohol and drinking it down. Then he looked at Bing Tianyi earnestly and said, "Bro, considering that you saved my life once, I'll be honest with you. Do you know how much money Big Head has made in these past two years?"
"I'm not his father; how would I know?" Bing Tianyi replied with a wry smile.
At this remark, Brother Kun was even more speechless. After a few seconds, he finally whispered, "From what I know, Big Head's assets are worth at least this much."
"Two million?"
"Brother, you really underestimate him. At least add a zero behind that two million."
"Twenty million?" Bing Tianyi widened his mouth, looking at Brother Kun in disbelief.
It's important to note that in a small county, there aren't many people with assets exceeding ten million, especially in the northern county where Bing Tianyi currently lives.
Moreover, according to what Brother Kun said, this guy made so much money in just two years. If he continues for a few more years, wouldn't he be rolling in it?
While Bing Tianyi was deep in thought, Brother Kun continued, "Brother, think about it. If you were to rely on fortune-telling or graduate from university and then take a civil service exam, would you be able to earn this much money? You have to understand that the economy is in control now. Without money, you can't accomplish anything. In the future, when you get married, you'll probably only be able to choose someone who has been chosen by others before. Although my words may sound harsh, they are all the truth."
After Brother Kun finished speaking, Bing Tianyi frowned in contemplation. He picked up the tea cup beside him and took a few sips before raising his head to ask Brother Kun, "Brother Kun, what do you think I should start with now?"
"I'm not too sure about that. However, since you saved Wang Zhiqing, I believe that based on Wang Zhiqing's character, he wouldn't just end up in prison like that. If I were you, I would definitely take advantage of the fact that Wang Zhiqing hasn't been sent to prison yet and ask him for help," Brother Kun said directly to Bing Tianyi.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi sighed deeply and looked at Brother Kun with a smile. "After hearing you say that, I think I know what I should do now."
After saying this, Bing Tianyi stood up and smiled at Brother Kun. "Brother Kun, thank you for your help. There will definitely be many times in the future when I'll need your assistance again. I hope you'll lend me a hand then."
"That's easy to say," Brother Kun nodded with a smile.
