lf to make Zhang Mingqi laugh.After standing at the restaurant entrance for a long time, Chen Tingwei finally saw Zhang Mingqi's wine-red Maserati slowly approaching."Mingqi, why are you so late Come...Chapter 862: Qiao Jing's Story

"What do you intend to do" Shangguan Shishi tried to evade but found herself leaning against the car, unable to move.

"What benefit would there be for me to deceive you You should believe that what your eyes see isn't always the truth."

Shangguan Shishi looked into Wang Zheng's eyes. His gaze was sincere with no hint of deception. Being scrutinized so closely by Wang Zheng, Shangguan Shishi felt a bit flustered. She waved her hand and said, "I don't care anymore. Anyway, deal with your own mess yourself. I'm not in the mood to meddle!"

"Everything I say is true. If you want to know more, I can tell you about her."

"Hmph, go ahead if you want," Shangguan Shishi opened the passenger door and got into the car. Wang Zheng shook his head with a smile and also got into the driver's seat.

"Have you ever heard of the Qiao family in Hong Kong"

"Yes, isn't Commander-in-Chief Qiao Ke Wu from the capital military district also a branch of the Qiao family"

"That's correct. You're well informed, but do you know that there was a brilliant eldest daughter named Qiao Jing in the Qiao family over ten years ago"

"Of course I know about this. Her reputation is well-known across both sides of the strait and Hong Kong. Later on, my father told me many stories about her; she was indeed impressive. If left to grow, she would definitely become a formidable female figure of an era. However, it's quite unfortunate that such a favored daughter met with an untimely end."

A look of regret appeared in Shi Shi Shang’s eyes. Although the fate of Qiao Jing was uncertain at last, it undoubtedly meant her demise since under fierce competition within these families, once out of the game, one is considered a permanent failure.

"Do you know why she met such an end"

"It's due to private family fights. It’s said that the second and third generations in Hong Kong’s Qiao family were quite formidable; each was eyeing the position of head of the family, which led them into conflict with Qiao Jing. Moreover, Qiao Jing was her grandfather’s favorite successor, and she often acted too boldly and arrogantly, resulting in many enemies. Once everything fell apart, everyone turned against her, making this a key reason for her downfall."

"Indeed. Sometimes, the battles within large families can be more perilous." Wang Zheng glanced at Shi Shi Shang; it seemed that there was plenty of internal strife within the上官家族 as well, but it had been suppressed by the上官家 openly or covertly. From this point alone, Shi Shi Shang seemed to have a better fate than Qiao Jing.

"In fact, everything about Qiao Jing is rather unfortunate; she could have achieved far more. Yet even after fleeing to Beijing, she couldn’t escape her pursuers. It was me who saved her."

Shi Shi Shang nodded in regret as well; the downfall of that prodigious girl was truly lamentable. Otherwise, another dazzling figure would have emerged: "Indeed very unfortunate, but why bring up this person suddenly Could it be… could she be the famous Qiao Jing from many years ago"

"You're right." Wang Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "She changed her surname now; she’s called Tang Jing."

A prodigious daughter of a renowned family ending up concealing both her identity and name truly evokes much sighing. Wang Zheng was certain that beneath the alluring exterior of Tang Jing, there must be many restless emotions hidden.

"I never expected it would be her." Shishi ShanShang suddenly turned around and asked: "Are you kidding me"

Wang Zheng replied sarcastically, "Do you think I have such a wild imagination to concoct this story just to fool you"

Indeed, the story Wang Zheng told about Miss Qiao sounded rather far-fetched at first. However, many facts often are that those stories which sound most absurd tend to be true.

"Alright, you indeed don't need to deceive me." Shishi ShanShang was not a girl who would throw tantrums without reason; after hearing Miss Qiao's story, she couldn’t help but feel sympathetic. A favored daughter of heaven like her had been silent for so many years and just stayed here all along—she must be very sad in her heart!

"Yes, such a huge disparity would drive anyone to despair. However, her nerves are quite tough; she managed to survive these years. If it were any ordinary girl, they probably wouldn’t have endured and might have committed suicide."

"You're right, she has been through a lot."

At this point, Shishi ShanShang suddenly changed the subject, her eyes sparkling with shrewdness: "Wang Zheng, tell me honestly, at this specific moment, why did you come to such an unfamiliar place I don’t believe it was merely to visit a woman or have some heart-to-heart talk. If your relationship were truly close, there’s no way you wouldn't have visited her for so many years."

Shishi ShanShang definitely inherited the high IQ from Mr. ShangShang; when analyzing issues, she was extremely precise and to the point.

"Did I ever tell you that I hadn’t come here in all these years"

"What do you think Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken out a membership card that hasn't been used for years," Shishi Shangguan observed keenly.

"Alright, even my intentions are guessed by you. But am I such a sinister person I'm someone who values feelings very much." Wang Zheng chuckled: "Isn't it wasteful to have such a beautiful lady here and not appreciate her"

"Hmph, you're even more cunning!"

"I've thought about this before. Although you haven't said anything, this trip to Hong Kong must also be closely related to the Qiao family. They are like local bullies in Hong Kong; how can the Shangguan Family enter the business world without facing them"

Shishi Shangguan nodded: "That's true. There have indeed been confrontations before, and it hasn't just happened once or twice. Those third-generation young men from the Qiao family aren't good people at all; they use all sorts of despicable methods that can't be talked about in public, completely disgracing the old man's reputation."

Not mentioning it was fine, but as soon as she mentioned this matter, Shishi Shangguan got upset.

"As major business rivals, they must be aware of your movements. Probably right after you leave customs here, they will get the news and send people to 'greet' you." Wang Zheng stressed the word "greet" heavily.

Shishi Shangguan nodded: "That's indeed possible. They might even prepare a special surprise for me!"

"So do you understand why I came to see Qiao Jing"r Dantai Suifeng with just one move, but at his last moment of strength, he used a suicide-style tactic and fired a shot at his own chest. The bullet penetrated Wang Zheng's chest and exploded in fron...
