Chapter 1079: He Has Unusual Tastes

Xie Ru’s girlfriend’s face turned pale instantly as she bit her lip, on the verge of tears.

Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but admire this woman. Even in this situation, she remained silent.

“Bastard! What do you want? I’m telling you, come at me! Don’t touch her!”

Seeing this, Xie Ru exploded, glaring at Xu Shaochen as if his eyes would burst out.

“Smack!”

Xu Shaochen slapped him backhand, saying coldly, “Don’t touch her? This is my territory. Who makes the rules, you or I? Understand your position, alright?”

Xie Ru looked at Xu Shaochen with venomous eyes, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

“Bring the knife.”

Xu Shaochen spread his hand.

Long Yi picked up a fruit knife from the fruit plate and handed it to Xu Shaochen.

Xie Ru’s girlfriend’s face paled even more.

“I’ll give you one last chance. Speak or not, your choice.”

While Xu Shaochen spoke, the knife was already against Xie Ru’s girlfriend’s face.

The blade was sharp, clearly reflecting Xie Ru’s girlfriend’s terrified features.

Xie Ru stared intently at Xu Shaochen, gritting his teeth. If looks could kill, Xu Shaochen would have been torn apart.

“Well, you’re really ruthless. A real man, I admire that.”

Xu Shaochen nodded, his gaze growing colder as the blade rose in his hand.

“Xie Ru!!!”

The woman who had been silent suddenly screamed hysterically at Xie Ru, tears streaming down.

“Stop!”

Xie Ru’s face twitched as he shouted harshly.

“Clang~”

Xu Shaochen immediately withdrew the knife, casually throwing it to the ground, and looked at Xie Ru with a smile, spreading his hands: “Don’t get excited. See, I said, as long as you cooperate, I won’t hurt her. I’m quite reasonable.”

“Huff—huff—”

Xie Ru’s girlfriend turned pale, breathing heavily.

“Ask what you want.”

Xie Ru spoke hoarsely, his lips trembling. He wasn’t afraid of death but couldn’t bear to see his girlfriend’s face ruined.

Even heroes struggle when it comes to beauties, let alone cowards.

Seeing this, Xu Shaochen suddenly felt like a villain.

Hmm, this shameless guy only now realized it.

“First, tell me how much you know about Tianqing.”

Xu Shaochen sat on the sofa, crossing his legs, speaking casually.

“Not much.”

Xie Ru said.

Xu Shaochen leaned forward, looking at him coldly: “Are you messing with me?”

Xie Ru smiled self-deprecatingly: “I’m just a core member, a low-level leader in Tianqing. I only know the organization is powerful. I don’t know much else.”

Hearing this, Xu Shaochen was silent. It seemed Tianqing’s internal structure was even more intricate than he imagined.

Gaining more understanding of Tianqing relied on the three mid-level members captured on Paradise Island.

“So, what’s your purpose here in Jiangzhou? Hearing your companion’s call, it’s mainly to deal with me?”

Xu Shaochen looked at Xie Ru mockingly. This was a typical case of being betrayed by teammates.

But where did these people get the nerve to target him in Jiangzhou?

“Our main task was to cause trouble for you, keep you busy, and I don’t know the rest.”

Xie Ru had already given up. Since the moment he surrendered to Xu Shaochen, there was no turning back.

Xu Shaochen narrowed his eyes: “Keep me busy? So something big is coming.”

“I said I’m just a worker. I don’t know anything else.” Xie Ru said coldly, emphasizing his status again.

“Then tell me about your miraculous teammate. Where is he?”

Xu Shaochen was genuinely interested in this teammate of Xie Ru’s, suspecting he was an undercover sent by Xu himself.

Hearing Xu Shaochen mention Zhao Fu again, Xie Ru’s mouth twitched nonstop, immediately selling him out without hesitation.

“His name is Zhao Fu. He joined Tianqing recently, but this is probably not his real name. He had plastic surgery, and he has a deep grudge against you.”

Damn it, Zhao Fu. Since you betrayed me, come join me in this. Two traitors are better than one lone wolf.

“Are you kidding me? He just joined and can talk to you like that? Sounds like he’s your boss.”

Xu Shaochen doubted Xie Ru’s words. How could a newcomer rise so quickly and be trusted directly?

Xu Shaochen took seriously Xie Ru’s mention that Zhao Fu might have a grudge against him.

After all, he had enemies everywhere in Jianghu, some of whom he had forgotten.

Hearing Xu Shaochen’s words, Xie Ru’s expression became strange: “Normally, a newcomer can’t become a core member, but Zhao Fu is special.”

“Oh, interesting. Tell me how he’s unusual.” Xu Shaochen looked at Xie Ru with interest.

Xie Ru’s face grew more awkward, saying dryly: “He has unusual tastes. He’s involved with a Tianqing high-ranking member.”

“How does that make him unusual? Are you jealous?” Xu Shaochen suddenly admired Zhao Fu a bit, his skills in relationships were impressive.

But it also indicated Zhao Fu’s importance. With a high-ranking girlfriend in Tianqing, he must know more.

No wonder he quickly became a core member and was given important tasks.

It shows that appearance matters in the workplace.

Regardless of plastic surgery, looking good is the truth.

“Ahem…” Xie Ru was caught off guard, stammering, “That high-ranking person is seventy years old this year.”

Xu Shaochen: “…………”

Why did he suddenly think Zhao Fu was even more impressive?

Going after a seventy-year-old? That takes determination and willpower. This guy is remarkable.

“What else do you know about Zhao Fu?”

Xu Shaochen asked, feeling he needed to know more about this insane and ruthless person he might have wronged.

“Not much, since he rarely talks about his past. He just mentioned a vendetta against you.”

Xie Ru shook his head, quickly adding when he feared Xu would find him useless and kill him: “He definitely doesn’t know I’m in your hands. I can help you lure him out.”

Xu Shaochen looked at Xie Ru with a half-smile: “I think you just want to warn him, right? If he can’t reach you, would he still trust you? Maybe he’s already moved.”

Seeing Xu was close to killing him, Xie Ru panicked: “Trust me, I have my ways. I can definitely dispel his doubts.”

He wasn’t afraid of death, just afraid of dying and leaving his girlfriend at Xu’s mercy.
