Chapter Index

    “Didn’t you say you didn’t want to know who he is?”

    Li Daoyu sneered.

    Chen Dongqiu just said he wasn’t interested in who the other person was and even hung up the phone decisively.

    Now asking this question again seems contradictory.

    “Slap!”

    Chen Dongqiu slapped him, sneering, “Mr. Li, do you not understand your situation? A prisoner should watch his mouth.”

    Feeling the burning pain on his face, Li Daoyu burned with anger as he glared at Chen Dongqiu.

    “Slap!”

    Another slap greeted him.

    Chen Dongqiu said coldly, “Seems Mr. Li hasn’t come to terms with reality. Teach him the basic rules.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, two bodyguards came up and kicked Li Daoyu to the ground, repeatedly punching and kicking him.

    Li Daoyu, showing some guts, remained silent, not pleading for mercy.

    After about five minutes, the bodyguards stopped at Chen Dongqiu’s gesture.

    “Feeling clearer now, Mr. Li?”

    Chen Dongqiu stood up and looked down at Li Daoyu with a mocking smile.

    “Cough, his name is Wang Zhanhang, Wang Sheng’s elder brother. Xu Shaochen will know who he is now.”

    Li Daoyu coughed up some blood, speaking weakly.

    “You’re asking for trouble, only talking after getting hit, right?”

    Chen Dongqiu stepped on his face and edited a message to Xu Shaochen.

    Xu Shaochen replied: Bury him.

    Chen Dongqiu showed Xu Shaochen’s reply to Li Daoyu.

    Li Daoyu’s expression froze instantly: “How could he dare? How could he dare?”

    “You’re asking that question like it’s nonsense. Why wouldn’t he dare?” Chen Dongqiu sneered.

    “Master, you can’t go in. Master…”

    “Get out of my way!”

    At this moment, a commotion was heard outside the door.

    A bodyguard hurried in: “Boss, the young master is here.”

    “Let him in.” Chen Dongqiu frowned.

    Shortly after, Chen Dongqing entered angrily.

    “Big brother, didn’t I make myself clear enough on the phone? Do I have to come here personally?”

    Chen Dongqiu calmly said to Chen Dongqing.

    Chen Dongqing was stunned, not expecting his brother to question him before he could reprimand.

    He flew into a rage, “Chen Dongqiu! Do you know what you’re doing? You’re going to ruin our family!”

    “Big brother, don’t exaggerate my ability to ruin the family. I’m not that capable.”

    Chen Dongqiu impatiently scratched his face and nudged Li Daoyu with his foot, “Big brother, he’s here, but you can’t take him.”

    “I will take him today,” Chen Dongqing said.

    Chen Dongqiu smiled, saying nothing.

    “Whoosh!”

    In the living room, all the bodyguards drew their guns, aiming at Chen Dongqing.

    “Big brother, can you take him in this situation?”

    Chen Dongqiu spread his hands, asking casually.

    “Outrageous!” Chen Dongqing shouted at the bodyguards, “Do you know who I am? Put down your guns now.”

    But no one responded, all standing expressionless.

    At this moment, Chen Dongqing had no doubt, as soon as Chen Dongqiu nodded, he would be shot.

    For the first time, he realized he didn’t understand his brother.

    Like never expecting Chen Dongqiu to have such bodyguards.

    He had thought they were the family’s men.

    But now he realized he was wrong.

    These were the family’s men in name only, truly only belonging to Chen Dongqiu.

    “Big brother, I’ve said before, I’m not interested in the family’s assets. I haven’t bothered you over the years, so don’t meddle in my affairs.”

    “Furthermore, it’s Mr. Xu’s will for him to die in Yunzou. I can’t stop it; no one can.”

    Chen Dongqiu said seriously, officially informing or warning his brother for the first time.

    Chen Dongqing looked at Chen Dongqiu for a long time, then nodded, “Fine, your wings have grown strong, I can’t control you anymore.”

    He then left the villa in long strides.

    He suddenly understood why Chen Dongqiu wasn’t interested in family assets.

    There had to be one reason: Chen Dongqiu had built a bigger fortune, and was involved with Xu Shaochen.

    Realizing this, he felt some shame.

    He had been wary of Chen Dongqiu vying for the family inheritance.

    But in the end?

    What he valued as treasure, others never bothered with.

    What kind of irony is that? “Ring, ring, ring…”

    His phone rang. It was Wang Zhanhang. After a pause, he answered.

    Before Wang Zhanhang could speak, he said, “Mr. Wang, I can’t handle this. Find someone else. My brother’s grown strong wings.”

    With that, Wang Zhanhang swallowed his words, saying only three, “I understand.”

    Then he hung up.

    In the villa living room.

    Chen Dongqiu waved, “Take him out and bury him.”

    His tone light and breezy, killing a man seemed no different than crushing an ant.

    Oh no, now Li Daoyu was just an ant to him.

    As he finished, two bodyguards dragged Li Daoyu out.

    “No! Don’t kill me! I want to talk to Xu Shaochen. Let me talk to him; he’ll surely spare me.”

    Overwhelmed by impending death, Li Daoyu panicked, struggling and screaming.

    “If Mr. Xu would spare you, then I can’t. After all, I almost killed you.”

    Chen Dongqiu said nonchalantly, waving again.

    If he did call Xu Shaochen and was spared, Li Daoyu would surely hold a grudge.

    Unable to retaliate against Xu Shaochen, Li Daoyu would blame him.

    So he wouldn’t make that call, unwilling to let an enemy live.

    “Don’t, let me go, please let me go… I don’t want to die…”

    Li Daoyu’s cries grew faint, then vanished.

    Chen Dongqiu sent a message to Xu Shaochen: “All done as you instructed.”
