Chapter 104: I Am Just a Capricious Person

“Xu, don’t push me too far!”

Li Yuncong was instantly infuriated upon hearing those words and furiously yelled at Xu Shaochen.

Originally, Xu Shaochen had offered 9,800 per square meter, but now he dropped it to 9,000. How could Li Yuncong not be angry?

“Not satisfied? Then don’t sell! There’s nothing you can do; I’m just a capricious person. Sometimes I’d rather earn less money, just to make those who wronged me uncomfortable.”

Xu Shaochen looked at the furious Li Yuncong with a faint smile, appearing very calm.

Money, I can earn less or even none at all.

But patience, I have none when it comes to anger.

“Do you really think you’re the only one interested in buying this property? Trust me, as long as you haven’t signed those contracts, I can ensure the sale falls through!”

Li Yuncong gritted his teeth as he spoke, indeed, there was another party looking to buy the properties.

However, their offer was much lower than Xu Shaochen’s, each square meter was several hundred less.

“Really? Do you know the saying: ‘Cut off a person’s livelihood, and you might as well kill their parents.’? You should believe me when I say I can have you ‘whoosh’ from the 38th floor and die an ugly death.”

Xu Shaochen stretched out a finger and made a slow, descending gesture, smiling harmlessly at Li Yuncong.

Looks like someone else has their eye on this place. I need to cut through the mess quickly, or the trouble will only grow.

Whoever dares to stand in my way will die.

Xu Shaochen spoke these words without a hint of malice on his face, yet everyone present involuntarily shivered.

No one doubted Xu Shaochen; they knew he could make good on his words.

“What’s going on here?”

At that moment, a strong voice rang out, and soon another group approached.

The man leading them was a middle-aged man in a black suit.

“Mr. Zhou, I’m willing to sell my house to you, and I can also help convince these other residents to sell as well.”

Seeing the middle-aged man, Li Yuncong’s eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed over.

This man was the other party wanting to buy the properties. Although the price was lower, Li Yuncong couldn’t care less by now. He just wanted to take revenge on Xu Shaochen, to disgust him.

As for other residents refusing to sell? He would find a way, as long as it kept Xu Shaochen from getting the properties smoothly.

The gaze of Xu Shaochen and his companions fell on Mr. Zhou across from them.

Xu Shaochen felt this person seemed familiar, but he couldn’t remember where they had met.

However, Mr. Zhou across from them didn’t even glance at Xu Shaochen and his group, his attention was entirely on Li Yuncong.

“Are you serious?” Mr. Zhou asked excitedly. If he could secure these properties, he could make a fortune.

“Absolutely.” Li Yuncong nodded, glaring venomously at Xu Shaochen and said through gritted teeth, “But I have one condition: I was just assaulted, and I hope Mr. Zhou can help me get even.”

This Xu character, just a young punk, dared to hit me, relying on his small fortune like I’m nothing.

Today, I’ll show him what happens when you cross Li Yuncong.

“Alright, don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you get revenge, make him wish he were dead!” Mr. Zhou agreed without hesitation. Taking care of one person was no big deal.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuncong became extremely excited, pointing at Xu Shaochen and saying through clenched teeth, “Mr. Zhou, it’s him! That little brat, I want him crippled, living the rest of his life in a wheelchair!”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he could already see Xu Shaochen’s miserable state. He was shaking with excitement.

Lost in the pleasure of impending revenge, Li Yuncong didn’t notice that Mr. Zhou beside him was also trembling.

As soon as Mr. Zhou saw Xu Shaochen, his face turned pale with fear, sweat pouring from his forehead, trembling uncontrollably.

Never in his wildest dreams did he think that the person Li Yuncong had provoked was Xu Shaochen. The fact that Li Yuncong was still alive only meant that Xu Shaochen had shown mercy.

After all, he had been at Sun Yaowen’s birthday banquet last night; he knew that Xu Shaochen had deep ties, even the Sun Family treated him with utmost respect.

Thinking back to how he had agreed to help Li Yuncong take down Xu Shaochen, Mr. Zhou felt his mouth go dry, his heart filled with fear.

But Li Yuncong didn’t notice, his face filled with arrogance as he looked at Xu Shaochen and said, “Kid, didn’t expect this, huh? There are always bigger fish. I tell you, today’s your last day!”

“Slap!”

Snapping back to reality, Mr. Zhou turned and slapped Li Yuncong across the face, roaring angrily, “How dare you? Are you tired of living? Who gave you the guts to speak disrespectfully to Mr. Xu? You deserve to die!”

Feeling the searing pain on his face, Li Yuncong was stunned, his mind buzzing.

But Mr. Zhou had no time to bother with him, quickly trotting over to Xu Shaochen and speaking in a trembling, fearful voice, “Mr. Xu, this has nothing to do with me! I had no idea this fool had the gall to offend you. If I had known, I wouldn’t have said a word, even if you gave me a hundred lives!”

Boom! Seeing this, it was as if a hammer had struck Li Yuncong’s mind, leaving him blank.

The man he had sought out for revenge was now groveling before Xu Shaochen like a grandson. Just how high was Xu Shaochen’s status?

Thinking of this, Li Yuncong was nearly scared into unconsciousness. His legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, frantically crawling over to Xu Shaochen.

“M-Mr. Xu, please spare me! Mr. Xu! I didn’t know any better, I was blind! I’ll sell the house for 9,000, just please forgive me!”

Li Yuncong continuously begged Xu Shaochen for mercy, all his previous arrogance vanished; now he was completely paralyzed with fear.

However, Xu Shaochen didn’t spare him a glance, instead turning to Mr. Zhou and asking, “Do you know me?”

“Yes, Mr. Xu, I had the honor of seeing you last night at Old Master Sun’s birthday banquet. Of course, someone as busy as you wouldn’t remember someone small like me.”

Mr. Zhou respectfully replied, lowering himself with obeisance, almost kneeling as if crying out ‘Long live the Emperor’ before Xu Shaochen.

The employees Mr. Zhou brought were all dumbfounded. Was this the same rude and overbearing boss they knew?

Now he was as obedient as a little lapdog.

For a moment, everyone looked at Xu Shaochen with curiosity and awe.

Of course, what they witnessed only further cemented the determination of Mei Liangxin, Zhang Wei, and Zhao Qing to be absolutely loyal lapdogs.
