Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Shen Qingzhi Eavesdropping, Discovering Secrets!

Jinling, inside a five-star hotel.

The entire floor had been reserved by someone.

Presidential suite.

After sending the text message, Shen Qingzhi silently deleted the information, her eyes flickering towards Zhou Shihao in the living room, who was engaged in an earnest conversation with Rao Xingwu.

Although she didn’t know what Zhou Shihao and Rao Xingwu were discussing, she was aware that, recently, Zhou Shihao had been in quite close contact with the Governor of Jiangnan.

And Rao Xingwu, a member of the Jiangnan Martial Association and even the captain of the Southern Martial Association’s delegation team for the upcoming tournament, definitely had profound implications meeting with Zhou Shihao.

This made her feel the need to remind Su Luo, lest he fail to notice and fall into a trap set by Rao Xingwu.

Inside the living room.

Rao Xingwu lifted a glass of foreign liquor, toasting to Zhou Shihao, "Mr. Zhou, Governor He also asked me to convey his thanks to you for the matter of the Jade Ruyi. I’ll drink to you."

Zhou Shihao laughed heartily, "Such a trifle is not worth mentioning! As for the matter of dealing with Su Luo in the upcoming Southern Martial Association competition, I’ll have to trouble you with that."

"No problem, a pleasure to cooperate," Rao Xingwu smiled.

"A pleasure to cooperate!" Zhou Shihao and Rao Xingwu clinked glasses, both emptying their drinks in one gulp.

After Rao Xingwu left, Zhou Shihao made his way to the floor-to-ceiling windows. He looked out at the night sky with a smile playing on his lips.

That smile was brimming with ambition!

He had long since been discontent with simply ruling Jiangbei or with merely being the Underground Emperor there!

This time, because of the Jade Ruyi matter, the Governor of Jiangnan had sought him out, and he had sent someone to retrieve the Jade Ruyi from Su Luo’s home, handing it over to the Governor of Jiangnan and completing a pleasurable collaboration.

Next, it was time for him to advance into Jiangnan.

Once he had control over Jiangnan’s turf, his status and influence would naturally rise even higher.

Then, even within the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce, his say would carry even more weight.

"Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce, one day, I, Zhou Shihao, will also occupy the position of Vice-Chairman!" People only knew him as the Underground Emperor of Jiangbei and his confidants believed his ambition was to dominate Jiangnan and its surrounding areas.

Little did they know, his sights were set far beyond the mere lands of Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

He turned his head to look at Shen Qingzhi.

Canary!

That was his assessment of Shen Qingzhi inside his heart!

Did they really think he never touched Shen Qingzhi because he was practicing abstinence?

Not at all!

To him, Shen Qingzhi was nothing but a canary that he was raising for someone else!

He dared not lay a finger on her!

At least, not when it came to matters of men and women—he didn’t even dare to entertain the thought!

And it was precisely for this reason that he could indulge Shen Qingzhi in other aspects, turning a blind eye to some of her actions, but he absolutely could not tolerate her interacting with other men.

He wouldn’t allow her to lose her virginity.

Once she lost her virginity, Shen Qingzhi would also lose her value, and his own future would be greatly affected!

"Qing Zhi, you should go back to your room!"

Zhou Shihao walked towards Shen Qingzhi, with a slight smile.

"Okay." Shen Qingzhi did not ask any further questions and turned to leave.

It was only after Shen Qingzhi’s figure had disappeared from his line of sight that Zhou Shihao picked up his phone again and made a call.

The phone rang for over ten seconds before it was finally answered.

"Elder Wan, didn’t you say that my adoptive father had come out of seclusion and would be visiting Jinling during the Southern Martial Association competition?"

"I have arrived in Jinling and have brought Shen Qingzhi with me. If my adoptive father is available, I can take Shen Qingzhi to him." Zhou Shihao spoke.

Even over the phone, the voice of the Underground Emperor who dominated Jiangbei was somewhat cautious.

He had brought Shen Qingzhi to Jinling today, not solely to target Su Luo. In his eyes, a mere Su Luo was not worth the personal effort to make a trip to Jinling, the main purpose was to deliver Shen Qingzhi, the Canary.

"Shihao, I was just about to tell you, the Chairman’s coming out of seclusion has been postponed, and this trip to Jinling is canceled. I’m afraid, you’ve made a wasted trip."

An old man’s voice came through the phone.

Zhou Shihao frowned and after a moment, he then said, "Then how about, I make a trip to the Chamber’s headquarters myself, and take Shen Qingzhi over there? Once my adoptive father comes out of seclusion, he can enjoy her presence! Otherwise, if she stays with me all the time, I’m worried that delays might lead to problems."

Elder Wan said, "This matter can’t be rushed! The Chairman asked you to keep Shen Qingzhi for a reason. If you rashly bring Shen Qingzhi to headquarters, I’m afraid, it will not please the Chairman, but might instead cause his displeasure with you."

After speaking, Elder Wan added, "Shihao, I know you are eager to enter the headquarters of the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce, not just to stay in Jiangbei, but you can’t rush things, do you understand?"

Zhou Shihao paused for a moment and nodded, "I understand."

"Good, that’s it then. When the Chairman notifies, he needs Shen Qingzhi, he will naturally contact you. As long as you handle this matter well, when the time comes, a seat among the Elders of the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce will be yours," Elder Wan said.

A look of joy appeared on Zhou Shihao’s face: "Thank you, Elder Wan."

After hanging up the phone, his face showed great ambition. Once he took over Jiangnan as well, with Jiangnan and Jiangbei as his base, and he climbed to the position of Elder within the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce, that would be when he really had a say within the Chamber.

After all, he was well aware that his status as the adoptive son of the Chairman of the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce was not taken seriously. The reason he had attained this status was still because he was keeping Shen Qingzhi for that particular individual.

He had to ensure that he had enough confidence and strength.

...

In the room.

Shen Qingzhi leaned against the door, with a grain of rice-sized hidden earpiece in her ear.

Before leaving the living room, she had planted a listening device and heard every word Zhou Shihao had said, loud and clear.

Shen Qingzhi clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white, her teeth biting down hard, her whole body unable to stop trembling.

"So that’s how it is!"

She finally understood why Zhou Shihao insisted on forcibly bringing her away from the Shen Family to stay by his side, yet never laid a hand on her.

It turned out he was raising her as a "gift" to be given to someone else for their enjoyment!

Shen Qingzhi’s face turned ghastly pale as she gritted her teeth, "Zhou Shihao, oh Zhou Shihao, you’ve calculated your moves well, but what a pity, you’ve miscalculated!"

Her original intention was to take revenge on Zhou Shihao, to humiliate him by cuckolding him and turn him into a laughingstock, which is why she had sought out Su Luo and offered herself willingly.

But now, it seemed, her actions were not just about making Zhou Shihao a laughingstock, but had completely affected his future.

This realization suddenly made Shen Qingzhi burst into sardonic laughter.
