Chapter Seventy-four Racing Cars

  "I just think you're really good at guessing people's minds, hurry up and tell me the answer." Shangguan Shi said anxiously.

  "It's actually very simple," Wang Zhong explained: "These people are all driving luxury cars, swaggering around in Jiangsu Province, and it's clear that they're all from wealthy and influential families. They might be able to cover the sky with one hand in Jiangsu. The woman is also surnamed Zhang, named Zhang Miao Miao. She looks a bit cold and arrogant, but she's obviously straightforward and doesn't have any ulterior motives. This group of super-rich second-generation kids clearly takes Zhang Miao Miao as their leader. To be honest, this kind of cold and arrogant temperament can only be cultivated through the subtle influence of family environment - it's impossible to fake it on purpose. That's why I thought that Zhang Miao Miao from earlier could help me achieve my little dream about real estate, so I gave it a try."

  "You're really sinister." Shangguan Shi said with a curl of her lip.

  "It's too much praise, more than one person has praised me like that." Wang Zheng patted his own chest: "As the senior vice president of Jù Róng International, I must have two brushes."

  Also, let Wei Wentai investigate the name of Jiangsu Provincial Committee Secretary Zhang Binghao's child. I reckon it's probably this Zhang MiaoMiao, and maybe we've caught a big fish.

  Shangguan Shi smiled and nodded in agreement, looking at Wang Zheng, suddenly remembering the words of her father's unintentional evaluation of Wang Zheng.

  "I really admire this kid."

  How can one not be astonished when such words are spoken by an official in a position of authority?

  Shangguan's family is indeed a business giant in the Chinese world, he once said that there are only three people on this earth who can make him admire from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn't mention names at the time, Wang Zhong is undoubtedly one of them.

  At that time, Shangguan Shi was extremely shocked in her heart and also asked her father why he would admire this little bodyguard, but her own old father just shook his head and smiled, not answering.

  But now, Shangguan Shi's evaluation of Wang Zhong is: both sinister and dark-hearted, yet still having a belly full of long-suppressed hot blood.

  "Shangguan Secretary, you can stay here tomorrow to watch the test results. This racing event only requires me, a senior vice president, to attend in person." Wang Zheng smiled and asked: "Is that okay?"

  "I actually quite want to follow you racing." Shangguan Shi smiled, looking very good: "But Jù Rōng's accident this time is more important, tomorrow you have to be careful."

  Wang Zheng smiled even more brightly: "Don't worry, this Zhang Miao can't handle me."

  "Fortunately, I was worried that you would eat her up. However, this is also good, you have climbed up to the provincial party secretary's daughter, and half of Jiangsu will be yours." Shangguan Shiyan said with a sigh.

  "Don't try to fool me." Wang Zhong patted Houguan Shishi's back of the head again: "I wouldn't ride a donkey to find another donkey. What provincial party secretary's daughter can compare to the status of the heir of the Houguan family?"

  "You're the donkey!"

  Mei Baoer walked away, leaving behind the sound of the two people quarreling.

  …………

  The first day's lie detector test didn't reveal any problems, of course, this was within Wang Zhong's expectations. In his view, all the focus was on the three former employees, among whom the most suspicious one was undoubtedly the quality control department manager.

  Wei Wentao's efficiency was extremely high, and within a few hours, he used the vast network of Giant Fusion to find out about two other former employees. These two people were poached by other companies in the same industry with high salaries due to their many years of work experience. Only this quality assurance department manager, who had already risen to a very high position within Zhao Li Company, mysteriously resigned and took away a significant portion of the company's product data, which made Li Xiaoli extremely angry at the time.

  In addition, the other two resigned personnel have undergone lie detector tests and no problems were found. Although polygraph tests can also produce slight deviations due to physical functions, they will not lead to opposite error judgments. As a result, all doubts are locked on the resigned quality assurance department manager.

  His name is Liu Xiwei, 40 years old, and has been working at Zhaoli Company for nearly twenty years. He was one of the pioneers who followed Li Zhaoli to start a business. As for his resignation, there are various rumors within Zhaoli Company, some say he left due to conflicts with Li Xiaoli, while others claim he was poached by another company with high salary and so on. However, in Wang Zheng's view, these reasons are completely untenable.

  According to Wang Zhong's investigation, firstly, Liu Xiwei and Li Zhaoli had a good relationship, and he was also very good friends with Li Xiaoli. They cooperated well at work and did not have any conflicts. Secondly, Zhaoli Company is a listed company, and Liu Xiwei held a considerable portion of the shares. If he suddenly left without notice, these shares would be unable to be cashed out, which means that his sudden departure made his valuable shares worthless.

  Unless the company that Liu Xihui jumped to can pay him a sky-high salary, then this quality control department manager's resignation move is absolutely not worth it.

  Huaxia is vast, with a population of tens of billions, which seems like an astronomical figure. However, relying on the strength of Juruo International, it should be easy to find information about someone. But after the public relations department worked through the night, they couldn't find any news about Liu Xiwei. It's as if he vanished into thin air after leaving Zhao Li Company, and there has been no sign that he ever existed.

  However, just as all hope seemed lost and even Wang Zheng had given up, a glimmer of light appeared. According to Liu Xiwei's former neighbor, although Liu Xiwei never returned, she had a daughter studying in the UK who should still be there since it has only been a year.

  After receiving this news, Wei Wentai immediately sent someone to rush to Europe. So far, there is no news yet, but hopefully it's not a false alarm.

  The next day, at the entrance of G1501 Expressway, a very cool Aston Martin was already waiting there. Zhang Miao still wore a black leather jacket and pants, with large sunglasses, her collar open very low, revealing a white, soft and magnificent view.

  At around eight o'clock, another cool Maybach also drove over and stopped next to the Aston Martin.

  The car window rolled down, revealing Wang's radiant but somewhat over-the-top smile.

  Zhang Miao gave a cold glance and saw that only Wang Zheng was there, so she asked: "Why didn't the pretty girl by your side come?"

  Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Didn't a group of rich second-generation followers behind you come either?"

  Zhang Miao hummed and saw that Wang Zheng didn't seem to want to answer, so she directly said: "At 8:05, the front barrier will be lifted on time. Whoever rushes out of the Capital Highway exit first wins this competition, how about it?"

  "No problem." Wang Zheng said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the gearshift in front of him, his right hand on the gear.

  At 8:04, the Maybach had already started to emit a low rumble, ready to start at any moment. The engine of that Aston Martin also began to roar, and the car body slowly vibrated, giving people the feeling that it was like an arrow waiting to be shot.

  As expected, at 8:05, the toll gate bar slowly lifted, and at this time, the Aston Martin was like an arrow off the string, starting instantly, accelerating to 100 in two seconds, and before the toll gate bar had fully lifted, it had already rushed to the front, the top of the car barely scraping past the bar as it whizzed by.

  As Aston Martin is a supercar in the professional racing car, Maybach naturally can't keep up with its performance on instant start-up, so it was left behind.

  Aston Martin sped past the guardrail, Wang Zheng closely followed, his fingers nimbly operating on the gearshift, the speedometer quickly pointing to two hundred and fifty, the roar of the engine subtly increasing.

  In order not to be left behind by the professional racing cars in front at the starting line, Wang Zhong used all his strength, stepping on the accelerator and letting the modified Maybach accelerate wildly. At this moment, the engine of the Maybach was absolutely overloaded, but fortunately, Wang Zhong was still closely following the Aston Martin, about 10 meters behind it. In such a high-speed racing car, this distance could almost be ignored.

  The morning traffic on the G1501 wasn't small, so the two racing cars couldn't reach their top speed. But this was the best test of their driving skills, as Wang Zheng and Zhang Miao's hands and feet were performing dazzling operations, the Maybach and Aston Martin drifting back and forth on the highway, constantly overtaking the surrounding vehicles, the intense friction between the tires and the ground kicking up a cloud of smoke.

  Inside the monitoring room of the highway police brigade, several young people in uniform stared at the screen with a look of horror and astonishment.

  "My goodness, these two people's driving skills are too amazing, it's simply incredible!"

  "What if an accident happens with all this squeezing?"

  "A Maybach and another one is... Aston Martin! How much does this add up to!"

  "It's better to call the headquarters quickly and let them stop these two cars, otherwise if an accident happens, we will all be responsible!"

  A young man who looked a bit more steady reminded them, and this group of inexperienced people suddenly realized that one of them quickly picked up the phone, wanting to inform the squadron to intercept the two luxury cars. If an accident occurred on their jurisdictional road at this time, they would have to take responsibility. At the very least, disciplinary warnings were unavoidable, and as for the year-end bonus, it might be deducted in full.

  Just then, a middle-aged man pushed open the door and came in. As soon as everyone saw him come in, they immediately stopped discussing and became silent like cicadas in winter.

  "Goodbye, Captain." The person who picked up the phone said hastily before they even had a chance to dial.

  "Let it be known that these two sports cars are to be let through, no one is allowed to stop them. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences." The middle-aged man's voice was very low.

  "But captain, why didn't you stop him? What if something happens?"

  "What are you talking about? The provincial party secretary's daughter is racing, and you want me to stop her?"
