Chapter 137: 137 hoarse throat
Liu Zhizhong had thought that Zhang Qixiang would definitely call him and blow her top as soon as she woke up.
But unexpectedly, she seemed a bit gloomy and arrogant.
Indeed, this woman was kind of interesting.
It looked like he wouldn't have to help her fetch her clothes after all; he might as well head directly to her villa to see the situation!
After all, Secretary Ma of the City Committee had pretty much given him the morning off, and he had been waiting not far from Tianrun Villa!
At that moment, Liu Zhizhong drove away from the riverbank, heading straight for Tianrun Villa.
The villa that Zhang Qixiang had at the villa complex was her private property.
She usually lived there, enjoying her leisure time and looking after her business, which was very convenient.
She didn't want to go back home, as being urged to marry was an annoying issue for her.
This particular villa was at the commanding height of Tianrun Villa, offering a very broad view.
Villa No. 9, the most luxurious villa now available for guests at Tianrun Villa, was also slightly lower than hers. The two villas were next to each other, but separated by the beautiful landscaping pine trees that obscured the view from one to the other.
Zhang Qixiang's villa, of course, had its own dedicated underground parking lot with direct elevator access.
However, Liu Zhizhong didn't have the credentials to enter that underground parking lot; the system wouldn't recognize his license plate and the barrier wouldn't lift to let him through.
So, he could only use the above-ground parking lot and stopped his car on the broad road outside Zhang Qixiang's villa gate.
Her villa was a standalone compound, differentiated from the other property villa areas.
Usually, one had to go through a dedicated security checkpoint to get here.
There were two intimidating security guards at the post who let him through when they saw it was Liu Zhizhong coming.
Zhang Qixiang's living arrangements really did pursue privacy and security—cameras were everywhere, providing her with ample protection.
Just the previous night, Zhang Qixiang had boasted that her villa had a one-touch alarm system.
Emergency alarms were set up in many places inside the villa; in the event of an emergency, one could press the button and the Yangzhou City Police Department would receive the alert immediately. Within three minutes, a small team specializing in counter-terrorism and riot control from the Yangzhou Special Police Team would be dispatched and could reach there in less than three minutes by car.
The Yangzhou Special Police Team's base was just a short distance from Tianrun Villa, no more than a three-minute drive to get here.
Ah, these were the benefits of privilege, elevating the luxury of those with power to an even higher level.
When Liu Zhizhong got out of his car, he saw the open gate of Zhang Qixiang's villa, yo!
Two more imposing security guards stood at the entrance, with the beautiful European-style solid wood gate wide open.
Seeing the two guards, stern and bristling, Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but silently approve.
Ah, the personal security for Miss Zhang of the Zhang family was indeed formidable!
The private security guards for Zhang Qixiang's courtyard were all ex-special forces with exceptional skills. She herself had once marveled that one of them could take on five or six people without a problem.
Her courtyard was equipped with twelve such retired special forces personnel. They worked twenty-four hours a day in three shifts. Two guards at the entrance gate and another two at the main gate were enough.
With a calm and natural demeanor, Liu Zhizhong walked towards the main gate.
However, at the checkpoint, the two security guards closed the retractable gate and followed him with a brisk walk.
This made Liu Zhizhong a bit baffled, what was going on?
Could it be… Zhang Qixiang wanted her guards to give him a good beating?
After a brief hesitation, he had passed through the main gate and glanced back.
The two burly security guards at the gate were quickly approaching, and the two cold-faced guards at the courtyard entrance were also watching him!
Now, Liu Zhizhong felt even more uneasy.
It was at that moment, from the second-floor corridor of the villa, came Zhang Qixiang's icy voice:
"What are you dawdling for? Come inside, I have things to say!"
Her voice sounded a bit hoarse, which Liu Zhizhong could understand.
After all, she had drunk quite a lot last night and then, after being drugged, the crazy shouting would indeed have made anyone's throat rough!
Remembering last night's events, Liu Zhizhong's heart was still throbbing, heh heh, getting in bed was a win!
Looking up, he saw Zhang Qixiang on the second floor, wearing a milk-white home dress that was loose and casual. The breeze wafted around her, outlining her captivating figure.
On that beautiful cold face was an icy, imperious aura.
Liu Zhizhong smiled, "Hehe, Sister Qixiang, I'm here! Should I come up, or will you come down?"
Zhang Qixiang said coldly, "Just stand in the middle of the courtyard. Your mongrel self doesn't deserve to enter my villa."
"Oh, okay, sure…"
Liu Zhizhong nodded, feeling waves of irritation inside, but he sneered to himself.
Putting on airs, are we?
One day, I'll definitely enter your villa, burst into your private territory, and dive headfirst into your world, leaving you howling in a mess!
But for now, heh, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, right? If she said to stand in the middle of the courtyard, then he would do just that. Let's see why she wanted him to come over, and what game she was planning to play.
When he reached the beautiful terrazzo square in the middle of the courtyard, he heard the sound of the electronic wooden gate closing behind him.
Liu Zhizhong turned to look and saw all four security guards enter, and the gates quickly shut. Those sturdy guards fixed a steely gaze upon him.
Instantly, Liu Zhizhong sensed things were turning even more ominous.
Damn it, was he here this morning to fight?
