Chapter 45 — The Secret is Out

Zhou Ziyi was only stunned for a second, then quickly pushed Sheffield away and kicked out with a forceful blow!

“I X…! Fxck!!!” Zhou Ziyi was furious, swearing in both languages, and continued to rush forward to attack while cursing. Sheffield was kicked down by him, and before he could get up, another kick hit him on his face.

Sheffield was also angry, and apart from being dazed for about ten seconds at the beginning, how could he lie down and be beaten? He quickly got up to fight back, disregarding any dignity or manners, and engaged in a bare-handed struggle with Zhou Ziyi.

Zhou Ziyi’s physique was not as good as Sheffield, but he was more ruthless and beat him until his eyes turned red. The young man was driven mad by Sheffield’s actions, exploding like a bomb, instantly losing all rationality.
He didn’t follow any rules when he attacked, he scratched and clawed, Sheffield, who had some knowledge of fighting, didn’t have the upper hand at all, it was like a novice fighting an expert.
Sheffield was soon beaten up bloodily by him.
Sheffield fists were fierce, and Zhou Ziyi was also got hit several times at close range.

But could Zhou Ziyi feel any pain right now?

Sheffield’s forced kiss made him feel deeply insulted, and he was consumed with anger. Moreover, Sheffield seemed to epitomize someone who looked down on him. The pressure that Zhou Ziyi felt from marrying Yan Xiuzhi couldn’t be held back at this moment, and it all burst out like floodwaters.

…

When Tang Shirong and the others arrived, Zhou Ziyi and Sheffield had already been pulled apart by the security guards.

To be honest, if the security hadn’t arrived fairly quickly, Sheffield would have been slammed against the wall by Zhou Ziyi. If this were to continue, even if he didn’t die, he would have lost half his life.

Tang Shirong was initially shocked when he heard that Zhou Ziyi was in a fight. When he arrived at the scene and saw Sheffield, he immediately guessed the reason and his expression became serious.
At this moment, Sheffield was still cursing loudly, using very vulgar language. The music in the corridor was actually quite loud, but Tang Shirong could hear every word clearly, and it made his anger surge.

Tang Shirong immediately began to curse back at him, without reason, just pure cursing, using words like “ass” and “f*ck” fluently, completely concealing the fact that he had never passed English during his study abroad years. Sheffield was originally shouting insults, taking advantage of Zhou Ziyi being pulled away, but when Tang Shirong joined in, it was like he was overwhelmed.

In fact, people from Sheffield’s side also arrived, but they couldn’t get a word in edgewise as Tang Shirong cursed fluently without taking a breath, all in English.
The security guards also couldn’t understand what these people were arguing about, as it was all in English, very impressive. The bar manager who followed along and recognized several of the people with Tang Shirong didn’t rush to intervene, but instead asked, “What’s going on? Should I call an ambulance?”

Tang Shirong then temporarily stopped the fighting and went to ask Zhou Ziyi, “Brother, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“No,” Zhou Ziyi was punched in the face, but he was still in an adrenaline-fueled state and didn’t feel any pain. He sneered and said, “You can ask him if he’s been disabled.”

Tang Shirong finally understood: Our Zhou Zhou really went all out… and it was a good hit!

So Tang Shirong, with a smirk, asked Sheffield again, “Sheffield, is that thing of yours still working? Why not go to the hospital to see a doctor?”

He intentionally raised his voice and spoke in Mandarin, so that everyone present except for Sheffield could understand, and after a pause, he said it again in English.

Sheffield was furious and almost rushed to hit Tang Shirong again, but he was held back by the security and his own people.

Tang Shirong even gestured to him, “You, come here!”(In Chinese)

Sheffield didn’t understand, but the gesture was too smug, which almost made Sheffield’s blood boil. His people now knew that Tang Shirong was asking for trouble, so they pretended not to hear and asked Sheffield, “Do you want to go to the hospital? If you need to, you must say…”

Just provoked by Tang Shirong’s words, Sheffield had no rational judgment at the moment, and immediately interrupted the other party and said, “No!”

Tang Shirong said, “We have an old saying, ‘shun the doctor when you’re sick,’ you mustn’t neglect yourself…”

Sheffield completely ignored him and just stared at Zhou Ziyi, saying, “I will remember today!”

Zhou Ziyi glanced at him with a meaningful look and coldly said, “The day you lost, you will remember it?”

This back and forth infuriated Sheffield, so he pushed others away and left with a pale face. It seemed that he was really badly hurt. The manager felt relieved when he saw one of them leave but still asked, “Do you want to call the police?”

Tang Shirong looked at Zhou Ziyi, who had a dark face and stayed silent for a few seconds before saying, “…Forget it.”

“In that case, forget it then,” Tang Shirong didn’t ask any further and waved his hand, “Let’s all disperse, let’s all disperse, don’t watch the excitement, let’s go back.”

Zhou Ziyi fought a battle, so of course he wasn’t in the mood to go back and drink. He left directly.

Tang Shirong also came out to see him off. If he stayed in the private room, he would be asked, so he might as well just leave with him.

This time, they also called a ride-hailing car. Tang Shirong couldn’t bear to ask what had just happened in front of a stranger driver. The two of them remained silent all the way, and Tang Shirong was dropped off at his home first.

This time, Zhou Ziyi didn’t get out of the car, but before Tang Shirong got out, he turned back and asked, “Do you want to come in and sit for a while?”

“… I won’t, it’s too late.” Zhou Ziyi’s tone was still a bit cold, but at least the content was calm. “Say hello for me.”

“Your face…” Tang Shirong looked at the bruise on Zhou Ziyi’s face and asked, “Do you want to come to my place for some medicine?”

“Forget it, if your family sees it, they’ll ask questions.” Zhou Ziyi waved his hand. “Let’s go.”

Only then did Tang Shirong get out of the car. “If you need anything, you can find me.”

“I know, t Brother Tang.”

Tang Shirong closed the car door, and Zhou Ziyi changed the destination. The ride-hailing car started again.

The driver didn’t say anything, just played some music. Zhou Ziyi just looked out the window, his gaze skimming over the neon lights of the night, feeling a mess inside.

He doesn’t regret the fight today. Scum like Sheffield won’t learn their lesson until they’re really taught a lesson. He’s not too worried about what Sheffield might do to him. After all, this is China. Sheffield is just here on a business trip. How much trouble can he cause?
If he really cripples Sheffield, and Sheffield dares to claim compensation, Zhou Ziyi will dare to publicize it.

It’s not certain that the good will outweigh the bad, it depends on who has no bottom line. Zhou Ziyi is determined in his heart, he doesn’t say he’ll seek help from anyone, he just feels that if he’s going to die, he might as well die together. What does someone with nothing to lose have to fear?

It’s just that the injury on his face will definitely not escape Yan Xiuzhi’s questioning.

After some thought, Zhou Ziyi decided to be vague and just gloss over it. If this matter were to be investigated in depth, it would dredge up a lot of past events, and each scene makes Zhou Ziyi feel nauseous.

Anyway, President Yan is always busy, so he probably won’t care…

Zhou Ziyi finally returned home.

It was already past midnight, and the house was pitch black and quiet. Zhou Ziyi didn’t pay attention and turned on the lights as he entered. Now, as his emotions gradually calmed down, his face began to ache, and he needed to find some medicine from the medicine cabinet.

Just as the young man was rummaging through the medicine cabinet in the living room, he looked up and was startled to see Yan Xiuzhi standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

“Wow, you scared me!” Zhou Ziyi almost jumped up, “Ge, you walk so quietly. How come you just stood there without a word?”

Yan Xiuzhi, dressed in home clothes, looked down at him, his voice calm: “What’s wrong with your face?”

“Hey, just a little accident,” Zhou Ziyi smiled, stood up, “It’s already past midnight, why aren’t you asleep? Isn’t tomorrow the weekend?”

“I have something to do,” Yan Xiuzhi said as he went downstairs.

Zhou Ziyi sensed that there was more to his words and was a little puzzled, “Something at this late hour? Are you going out?”

Yan Xiuzhi didn’t answer, just asked him, “Did you get this at the bar? You came back so early today?”

“There’s nothing fun, so I came back,” Zhou Ziyi listened as if he was being questioned, but couldn’t figure out why this CEO didn’t sleep at night and why he cared so much. “It’s from the bar, just playing around, got a little injury by accident.”

Yan Xiuzhi stopped in front of him, “Besides Tang Shirong, who else were you with today?”

“Ge, you’re asking like this now, I can’t even remember,” Zhou Ziyi was puzzled, “Even if I remember who was there, I might not remember their names…”

Yan Xiuzhi said, “You don’t even remember their names, and you were drinking with them?”

“Hey, aren’t they familiar faces from before? And Brother Tang was there too,” Zhou Ziyi still felt uncomfortable about the events of the night, and Yan Xiuzhi’s questioning made him feel annoyed again. But he didn’t vent his anger on Yan Xiuzhi, just smiled casually: “Besides, for those I don’t remember, I’ll get to know them as we play. Does anyone come into this world knowing everyone?”

Yan Xiuzhi looked at the bruises on his face and said lightly, “You should be cautious with unfamiliar people. If you keep getting drunk like last time, you will regret it when something goes wrong.”

Zhou Ziyi sensed the underlying meaning and couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Yan, are you telling me this? I thought you didn’t care about my social life?”

“I don’t care about your social life,” Yan Xiuzhi locked eyes with him, “But I hope you remember that you are already married, and when you socialize… it’s best to be more cautious.”

Yan Xiuzhi had never said these words before.

If he had said them casually, Zhou Ziyi would have taken it as a joke and brushed it off with a smile. But Yan Xiuzhi said it now, Zhou Ziyi couldn’t help but recall the scene of Sheffield suddenly approaching him.

That evil fire in his heart couldn’t be held back.

“Ge, why do I feel like I don’t quite understand what you’re saying?” Zhou Ziyi raised his eyebrows, “Are you reminding me to ‘obey the rules of a married woman’?”

Yan Xiuzhi said, “I just hope you have a sense of it in your heart.”

“I think I do, but when you ask like this, it feels like you’re doubting my ‘professional ethics’,” Zhou Ziyi frowned, “Mr. Yan, I just went out for a drink, and you think I’m cheating?”

Yan Xiuzhi looked at him and asked, “Do you think you did a good job?”

Zhou Ziyi finally realized that Yan Xiuzhi was here to criticize him. “Otherwise? Mr. Yan, just say it directly, there’s no need for such a long prelude. Why do you think I’m cheating? Just say it outright?”

Yan Xiuzhi stared at him for a few seconds, took out his own phone, and showed him the screen.

Zhou Ziyi glanced at it and immediately widened his eyes.
