Resurrection Empire

Chapter 725 273: Weaving a Web of Psychology, Leading the Wolf into the House

No matter how powerful a noble family is, it could collapse overnight, even the Royal Family.

...

As Ren Zhong and his group were about to reach the Nangao Hotel, deep within a luxurious estate covering an area of 120 acres beside the central tower of the county government in Chongyi County, a slender man dressed in golden silk pajamas lay quietly in a large pile of white bodies in a vast bedroom.

He was taking a nap, sleeping very soundly.

The people beneath him, serving as his mattress, also had their eyes tightly shut, seemingly sleeping peacefully.

Knock, knock, knock.

The bedroom door was knocked on.

The slender young man suddenly opened his eyes, "What's the matter?"

"Boss, there's something I need to report to you."

The young man got up, put on his golden loose pajamas, and casually walked to the door.

He stepped out.

As the door closed, the women who had been lying silently got up one by one and filed toward the bathroom on the other side of the bedroom.

They hadn't truly fallen asleep before; it was just that they didn't dare to move at all since the man had been lying on top of them, using them as a mattress.

The reason they didn't dare to sleep was because they feared their subconscious movements in sleep might awaken the man.

This man was Wang Jinsou.

In the guest room next door, Wang Jinsou sat on the sofa, leisurely picking up a cup of coffee.

A man with a sleazy appearance stood in front of him, bowing his head and cautiously said, "Boss, the situation is like this—Ren Zhong appeared in the county town today, along with Ju Qingmeng. In addition, there are one woman and two men, making a total of five people."

"Earlier, Ren Zhong went to the training ground and defeated a faceless intelligent robot with imitation mecha upgraded to Level Six. This is the battle video Ren Zhong published himself. The robot's power was set to 150,000 kilowatts. When the group was leaving, Ju Qingmeng and another woman named Chen Hanyu…"

Wang Jinsou: "What about them?"

"Boss, you'd better see for yourself."

"Alright."

In the next second, Wang Jinsou's pupils contracted, and the coffee cup in his hand trembled.

In the video, Ju Qingmeng and another woman were embraced by Ren Zhong on either side.

Ju Qingmeng, still stunning in her red outfit, was tightly held in the crook of Ren Zhong's left arm.

The woman on the right was slightly taller than Ju Qingmeng, and no less striking in appearance.

Both had their own charms.

However, what irritated Wang Jinsou the most wasn't Ren Zhong hugging them.

His wide-open eyes were instantly shot through with blood veins.

He stared intently at the screen, meticulously examining Ju Qingmeng's face.

That face, which had once scowled scornfully at him, was now filled with warmth and sweetness, as gentle and dependent as ever.

Wang Jinsou never lacked women, but he had an intense obsession with those he couldn't have.

He closed his eyes, subconsciously recalling the moment he was publicly rejected.

His memories contained nothing but pain and resentment, nothing else.

He silently thought, why?

In front of me, you were like an ice goddess, but in front of others, you're as meek as a caged bird?

How is Ren Zhong better than me?

You said you were chasing after love, and I believed you.

I wanted to teach you what love truly looks like.

I even promised you that you could be the only woman in my life for quite a long time.

Yet you didn't accept it, so what else could I do?

However, didn't Ren Zhong also have other women?

Why can you tolerate that?

Damn it!

The subordinate cautiously raised his head to look at him.

After a moment, Wang Jinsou reopened his eyes.

The subordinate asked, "Boss, should we…"

Wang Jinsou's face showed pain, "Forget it, Ren Zhong has become someone I can't easily deal with anymore. Let it be."

"Alright, boss."

The subordinate nodded and was about to leave.

Wang Jinsou called after him again, "Have someone keep an eye on Ren Zhong. Report any new developments to me immediately."

"Understood, boss."

In the 21st century, Ren Zhong rarely schemed against anyone, not because he didn't understand scheming, but because there was no need.

However, ever since waking up from Source Star, Ren Zhong had to abandon his former innocence and seriously analyze each opponent he wanted to take down.

So far, he hadn't failed once.

Of course, if he did fail, he could just start over again.

Ren Zhong had an accurate grasp of Wang Jinsou's nature.

This man, born into a wealthy family and spoiled from a young age, had rarely faced setbacks, making him not only reckless but also arrogant.

Of course, as someone destined to inherit a multi-billion-dollar enterprise, he had some brain, wasn't purely an idiot, and knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm.

But these two traits were actually contradictory.

Back when Ju Qingmeng was just a weak Second Level Citizen, he should have been able to control her at will.

Unfortunately, at that time, Ju Qingmeng was resistant as an iron wall and publicly humiliated him, forcing him to suppress her in another way.

Three years had passed, and he still couldn't forget the woman he had once exiled to the frontier, who had embarrassed him—showing his obsessive madness.

Later, circumstances changed when Ren Zhong appeared out of nowhere, becoming Ju Qingmeng's protector.

Gao Tianhua, representing Purple Crystal Mining, wanted to curry favor with Ren Zhong and would surely give a heads-up to the Wang Family.

Thus, the person who was once easily manipulated and trampled underfoot suddenly became someone he dared not provoke.

Ju Qingmeng became his nightmare, a scar in his heart that couldn't be healed, tormenting him relentlessly.

But Wang Jinsou could still endure, and he did so quite well, until today, when Ren Zhong came directly to Chongyi County and trampled on him.

This madman's painstakingly constructed mental defenses finally started to crack.

However, he still endured.

In less than two years, his father Wang Dingyuan would choose to go into long-term slumber, and Wang Jinsou knew he was about to take over the business seamlessly, becoming one of the top figures in Yangsheng City's billionaire rankings.

He didn't want to cause trouble at this critical moment.

Wang Jinsou suddenly got up and went back to the bedroom.

As he stood up, the women in the group had already received the cue.

When he pushed open the bedroom door, the group of women was already lined up neatly inside, not a stitch on them.

Wang Jinsou raised his hand and pulled a long whip, stained with dried blood, from the wall beside him, grinning as he walked forward.

"You must scream, scream in agony. You must beg me for mercy, do you hear me!"

...

An hour and a half later, the returning subordinate saved the two women who were still alive.

In the guest room next door, Wang Jinsou's eyes lit up, "You said he took the Vibranium Tiger hunt in Nangao Town?"

The subordinate nodded, "Yes, boss. Ren Zhong was very arrogant, boasting at the banquet that he planned to fight alone. It seems he wants to seize this opportunity to establish his prestige."

Wang Jinsou began to contemplate.

In the afternoon, Ren Zhong barely managed to defeat a faceless robot with a power of 150,000 kilowatts.

However, the energy index of the Vibranium Tiger was 240,000!

Even though Ren Zhong must have other cards up his sleeves, the battle would still undoubtedly be risky to some extent.

Could this be my chance…

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the subordinate, "Take the wrist watch, and then go handle the matter. Understand?"

"Understood, boss."

"Remember, you can set a high price. But don't leave any traces. Everyone involved must die, but I will take good care of their wives and daughters."

"The boss is truly merciful."

"Hehe."

Long after the subordinate left, Wang Jinsou's unrestrained laughter echoed in the room for a long time.

...

Early the next morning, Ren Zhong and his group set out from the Alson Hotel.

He didn't head straight for the Vibranium Tiger's haunt on Wangnan Mountain but first went to Nangao Town.

Some unexpected situations arose.

The outcasts in Nangao Town were rioting over selecting ten "sacrifices" to be sent to their deaths.

This was not something a "mercenary" like Ren Zhong was supposed to be concerned with.

However, he saw it as a chance to establish his authority in Nangao Town in advance.

The Nangao Mayor and the owner of the resource recycling company didn't realize they were "inviting a wolf into their house."
