Why was Zhou Wang, who was supposed to be playing golf at the manor, forced to hide in this neighboring café?
Because a small oversight occurred in this plan.
That is, Zhou Wang was "discovered" too early.
He still underestimated Jiang Qingkui and Ding Yi's abilities. With Jiang Qingkui's intelligence and Ding Yi's wide-reaching methods, it took just two or three hours from the time they realized he was missing to finding out where he went... truly terrifying.
Originally, Zhou Wang planned to reveal a bit of a "flaw" after dark and then draw them to the manor.
... Those women hadn't yet fully let their emotions ferment. Zhou Wang planned to let them worry a bit longer.
Additionally, according to the current situation Zhou Wang controlled, the unstable factor of Xia Xiwei hadn't surfaced yet. If the territory were to be simply divided, she was qualified to plant the king's flag on her own, so Zhou Wang had to wait.
