Chapter 1096: This Round Is No Loss

Boom! Wang Sheng felt as if struck by lightning, standing frozen as his mind exploded.

Nearly the entire army was wiped out.

This… how is this possible?

“Second Young Master? Second Young Master, are you listening? Second Young Master…”

It wasn’t until the voice from the phone repeated that he snapped back to reality.

Yet he had no desire to answer the call, suddenly turning with eyes reddened, glaring at Xu Shaochen. “Fine, you’re impressive! Very impressive!”

“Young Master Wang, I already told you I prefer comedies, so I invited actors to perform a comedy. Otherwise, why would I pay them?”

Xu Shaochen lounged on the sofa, one arm around Li Qianya, leg crossed, looking at Wang Sheng with amusement as he added casually. “Seems like the actors hired by Young Master Wang didn’t deliver. They turned the comedy into a tragedy.”

“Impossible! How did you find out? How did you know my identity? How did you know about this? Was it Xie Ru? That ungrateful traitor!”

Wang Sheng gritted his teeth, his mind filled with doubt and suspicion, finally blaming Xie Ru.

Xu Shaochen nodded, replying without hesitation. “Yes, Young Master Wang, you’re truly sharp to see the key moment. Without Xie Ru’s help, I couldn’t reach success.”

This response left Wang Sheng more puzzled. If Xu Shaochen denied immediately, he would’ve suspected Xie Ru.

But Xu Shaochen didn’t deny it, agreeing instead; making Wang Sheng suspect Xu Shaochen wanted to eliminate Xie Ru to avenge the stolen game data.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he blurted out, “Zhao Fu!”

“I know, it’s Zhao Fu, that ungrateful traitor!”

If not Xie Ru, then it could only be Zhao Fu.

Conveniently, Xie Ru reported Zhao Fu’s defection, surely he informed Xu Shaochen.

“Young Master Wang, it’s not Zhao Fu, it’s Xie Ru,” Xu Shaochen corrected his mistake.

“You, that guy named Xu, do you think I’m a fool? Trying to trick me? I know you hate Xie Ru, wanting to drag him down, right?”

Wang Sheng sneered, refusing to fall for Xu Shaochen’s juvenile trap.

“It truly is Xie Ru.”

Xu Shaochen sighed; why doesn’t anyone believe the truth these days?

“Xu Shaochen, count yourself lucky this time. With Zhao Fu, that ungrateful traitor, gone, I doubt you’ll always be this lucky!”

Wang Sheng spoke coldly, seething with the desire to tear Zhao Fu apart.

“Brother Xu, what exactly is going on?”

Sun Hai finally couldn’t suppress his curiosity.

“You should ask Young Master Wang. He had someone attack my Paradise Island and I’d love to know why.”

Xu Shaochen tossed the issue back to Wang Sheng.

Sun Hai looked at Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng avoided answering, knowing he couldn’t reveal the matter about the Genetic Serum.

“Young Master Wang, you’ve heard your call. Now, listen to mine.”

Xu Shaochen spoke, then answered the phone in hand, which had been ringing continuously, and calmly said one word.

“Speak.”

“Boss, the plan succeeded. Nearly all of Tianqing was wiped out, but… an unexpected event occurred. Wang Kun was rescued.”

Hearing this, Xu Shaochen’s expression changed instantly, shouting angrily. “What were you doing? Don’t you know Wang Kun’s identity? How did you let him escape without getting a word from him? Useless bunch!”

Seeing this, Wang Sheng felt a bit better, having gotten something from this mess.

“Boss, let me explain…”

“I don’t want to hear your excuses! A bunch of failures! With such an advantage, you let Wang Kun be rescued!”

Xu Shaochen finished and hung up in fury, his face dark as a storm cloud.

“Hahahaha, Mr. Xu, you’d better stop getting angry or you’ll ruin your health.”

Wang Sheng laughed maliciously, pleased that while they suffered, Xu Shaochen also lost an important hostage in Wang Kun.

“Hmph! It’s just a hostage. This time, we captured more than one person.”

Xu Shaochen snorted, unaffected, and replied nonchalantly.

Wang Sheng saw this and thought of him as stubborn like a proud duck to death, “Yes, you captured more than one person, but combined, they lack Wang Kun’s worth.”

“This round is a draw. The mountain doesn’t turn, but the river flows. Mr. Xu, there’s a long road ahead, we’ll see.”

Wang Sheng finished speaking and turned to leave.

Tap tap tap tap…

A rush of footsteps sounded as Long Yi and Long Er, along with bodyguards, stormed in blocking Wang Sheng’s path.

“Uncle Sun, you can’t leave your nephew here today, right?”

Wang Sheng smiled calmly, turned back to Sun Hai without hurry.

He knew of Xu Shaochen and Sun Hai’s good relationship, and Sun Hai’s words would surely grant him face from Xu Shaochen.

“Please, I’m unworthy to be your uncle.” Sun Hai’s face was somber as he spoke to Xu Shaochen, “Brother Xu, I’ll come another day to apologize, tonight I’ll not interfere.”

As he spoke, Sun Hai walked out without looking back.

Witnessing this, Wang Sheng was dumbfounded.

Realizing it, he hurriedly called after Sun Hai. “Uncle Sun, Uncle Sun, what do you mean? How can you account to my dad? Don’t leave…”

Wang Sheng was panicking, never expecting Sun Hai to leave him cleanly.

“Enough, stop shouting. You might not know, but your Uncle Sun also has a house on Paradise Island for retirement. Do you think he’ll be fond of you attacking his future retirement spot?”

Xu Shaochen impatiently cleaned his ears, stood before Wang Sheng with a teasing look, as if looking at a clown.

“Young Master Wang, do you still think it’s a draw? Though Wang Kun was rescued, now we have you. I think we’re even.”

Wang Sheng sweated coldly, looking at Xu Shaochen, saying, “Xu Shaochen, I’m different from Wang Kun, merely a bastard. If you dare touch me, you’ve seen Tianqing’s strength. My dad won’t let it go.”

“Is that so?” Xu Shaochen tilted his head, showing disbelief.

Wang Sheng sneered, “Try it if you don’t believe me.”

Smack!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shaochen slapped him hard across the face.

Feeling the stinging pain, Wang Sheng’s head buzzed, eyes red as he shouted, “You dare hit me?!”

“Didn’t you ask me to try? So I did.”

Xu Shaochen shrugged, appearing innocent.
