Chapter 1134: What Kind of Mental Quality
by xennovelSoon Zhao Qun’s father arrived.
Zhao Qun’s father is named Zhao Yue. He is in his forties, a chubby middle-aged man who looks very kind.
In front of Xu Shaochen, he appeared even more amiable.
“Dad, save me, dad.”
Zhao Qun cried out with tears and snot, as if he had seen a great savior.
“Scoundrel!”
Zhao Yue cursed angrily, not saying another word, and slapped him backhandedly.
“Slap!”
A crisp sound rang out. Zhao Qun’s already bruised and swollen face instantly gained more color.
No matter what happened, in this situation, hitting his own son was definitely not wrong.
After hitting him, Zhao Yue nodded and bowed to Xu Shaochen: “Mr. Xu, it’s a father’s fault for not teaching his child. It’s my negligence that led this ungrateful son to offend you. I hope Mr. Xu can be lenient and give him a chance to change his ways.”
“How do you know it was him who offended me and not me who has a problem with him?” Xu Shaochen said, half-smiling.
“…” Zhao Yue’s face stiffened, then he forced a smile: “Mr. Xu, a person of your stature wouldn’t stoop to bully my useless son, so it must be this unobservant fool who offended you.”
He was dying to tear Zhao Qun into pieces, provided he wasn’t his son.
After getting drunk, he often fantasized about chatting and laughing face-to-face with Xu Shaochen one day.
He was now facing him, but it was absolutely not in the way he had hoped.
“Your son Zhao Qun got my brother-in-law hooked on gambling. The casino owner promised him a twenty percent cut of the losses…”
Xu Shaochen stopped there, turning to Zhao Qingfeng: “How much did you lose? Don’t count the debt.”
“Thir… Thirteen million,” Zhao Qingfeng stammered, realizing only later how much money he had lost.
“Slap!”
On hearing this, Zhao Qingyu raised her hand and slapped him across the face, eyes full of disappointment: “You’ve disappointed me. Do you think your brother-in-law’s money grows on trees?”
Most of the money Xu Shaochen gave her she saved, occasionally giving Zhao Qingfeng some pocket money.
Zhao Qingfeng lost more than ten million at once. How could she not be angry?
“Sister, I… I was wrong. I dare not do it again.”
Zhao Qingfeng covered his face, speaking in a sobbing tone.
“Useless fool! Shut your mouth!” Xu Shaochen scolded and then looked at Zhao Yue: “You tell me how you’ll cover for your son’s expenses.”
When Zhao Yue heard about the cut his son got, cold sweat started dripping down. Conspiring with someone to cheat Xu Shaochen’s brother-in-law was purely suicidal.
Hearing Xu Shaochen’s question, he almost instinctively said: “Mr. Xu, the incident has happened. All I can do is try my best to make up for my son’s mistake. I’m willing to compensate fifteen million.”
His business wasn’t small, but to come up with fifteen million quickly would bleed him dry.
Assets aren’t the same as cash, after all.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qun regretted it to death. For the twenty percent cut, the family now has to pay out fifteen million. In the future, that would have been his money.
“Call that Cheng Qing and find a way to get him out. Then you’re off the hook.”
Xu Shaochen told Zhao Qun, implying he accepted Zhao Yue’s solution.
A casino owner wouldn’t have dared to plot against his brother-in-law, so there must be someone else behind Cheng Qing.
“Yes, thank you, Mr. Xu, for your generosity. Thank you for your leniency.” Zhao Yue breathed a sigh of relief, kicking Zhao Qun and scolding him: “Why are you standing there dumbfounded? Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear Mr. Xu? Hurry up and call!”
He didn’t care what happened to Cheng Qing as long as his own son was safe.
Moreover, in his perception, he believed Cheng Qing dragged his son into this. Otherwise, why would his son offend Xu Shaochen?
So seeing Cheng Qing fall into Xu Shaochen’s hands suited him perfectly.
Zhao Qun then reacted, quickly taking out his phone and dialing a number, putting it on speaker.
“Ring… Ring… Ring…”
After a moment, the call was connected.
“What’s up?”
A male voice came through the phone, impatient with the clattering of mahjong tiles in the background.
Zhao Qun glanced at Xu Shaochen, then said: “Brother Cheng, are you free now?”
“Just say what you want. Don’t waste my time.” Cheng Qing’s tone was a bit impatient.
“Brother Cheng, it’s about Zhao Qingfeng.” Zhao Qun quickly said.
“What happened to Zhao Qingfeng?” Cheng Qing’s voice rose several octaves, a stark contrast from his previous impatience.
Zhao Qun said: “Zhao Qingfeng said he lost too much, got scared, and wants to confess to his brother-in-law…”
“What the heck? Damn, what kind of mental quality does this kid have? Panic over such a small amount. Keep him calm and steady. Where’s he? I’m coming right over.”
Cheng Qing said angrily, panicking at the thought of Zhao Qingfeng telling Xu Shaochen.
Originally planning to let Zhao Qingfeng lose more before tightening the net, he realized he had to act sooner. This kid had terrible nerve.
If Zhao Qingfeng really told Xu Shaochen, everything would have been in vain.
“I’m at school now. I’m blocking Zhao Qingfeng. He just went to the bathroom. Brother Cheng, hurry, or I won’t have a reason to hold him back.”
Zhao Qun hurriedly said, knowing Xu Shaochen was watching him the whole time.
“Wait there. Keep him blocked. I’m coming right over.”
Cheng Qing hung up quickly.
Zhao Qun looked up at Xu Shaochen: “Mr… Mr. Xu.”
“Long Yi, go with him to the school and bring Cheng Qing to me. This kid can then get lost on his own.”
Xu Shaochen said to Long Yi.
“Yes, boss.”
Long Yi nodded, giving Zhao Qun a signal to follow him.
Zhao Qun looked at Zhao Yue nervously. A father is the backbone at any time.
“What are you looking at me for? Hurry and follow them! It’s your fortune that Mr. Xu can use you!”
Zhao Yue scolded, seeing no choice but to act accordingly.
Zhao Qun quickly followed Long Yi out of the office.
Zhao Yue looked at Xu Shaochen carefully: “Mr. Xu, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll leave now. The money will be sent to you tomorrow.”
Xu Shaochen nodded.
“Mr. Xu, I’ll be going then.”
Zhao Yue said as he slowly backed out before turning to leave.
