Chapter Index

    Long Yi arrived at Jiangzhou Medical College with Zhao Qun when Zhao Qun’s phone rang.

    “It’s Cheng Qing.”

    Zhao Qun told Long Yi not daring to answer the call without Long Yi’s permission.

    “Answer it.”

    Long Yi parked the car by the roadside opposite the school gate without getting out.

    With Long Yi’s nod Zhao Qun took a deep breath to collect himself before answering the call “Hello Brother Cheng.”

    “Where are you? I’m already at the school inside the campus.”

    Zhao Qun looked at Long Yi.

    Long Yi pointed to the car.

    Zhao Qun understood immediately saying “Brother Cheng we’re in the black Audi parked across the street hurry over.”

    “On my way.”

    Cheng Qing replied and then hung up.

    Minutes later a young man in his thirties wearing a black trench coat appeared at the college gate.

    “Brother Cheng over here.”

    Zhao Qun stuck his head out of the window waving to him.

    Cheng Qing quickly approached without any doubt immediately opening the back door and getting in.

    The moment he was inside he realized something was wrong the person seated wasn’t Zhao Qingfeng but a suited strongman.

    He wanted to get out but Long Yi had locked all the doors from the driver’s seat.

    “You tricked me!”

    Cheng Qing glared at Zhao Qun.

    “Brother Cheng I…” Zhao Qun turned pale looking away afraid to meet his gaze.

    “Damn…”

    “Bang!”

    The bodyguard beside him smashed a gun onto his head.

    “Ah!”

    Cheng Qing cried covering his head as crimson blood seeped through his fingers.

    “Stay quiet if you don’t know the situation.”

    The bodyguard said coldly pressing the gun barrel against his temple.

    Cheng Qing quickly calmed down from the gun’s cold touch asking “Bro which gang are you from am I lacking money or a task?”

    He needed to know who they were to resolve his predicament.

    The bodyguard glanced at him sneering “What you’re probing for info? Shut your mouth unless spoken to or you’ll never speak again.”

    “No bro…” Cheng Qing smiled trying to showcase his communication skills.

    “Smack!”

    In response he got a hard slap.

    The bodyguard shot him a contemptuous look “You can’t persuade me if I ignore you.”

    Fury flashed in Cheng Qing’s eyes he vowed to make this man suffer if given the chance.

    From the front Zhao Qun watched through the mirror finding satisfaction in Cheng Qing’s suppressed anger.

    Seeing Cheng Qing bullied made his beatings seem insignificant.

    “Get out.”

    Long Yi ordered Zhao Qun.

    “Huh?”

    Distracted Zhao Qun was slow to react.

    Long Yi glanced at him “If you don’t want to leave come with us instead.”

    “No no I’ll leave now right away.”

    Upon hearing he hurriedly opened the car door scrambling out.

    Half an hour later Cheng Qing was taken out of the car.

    Seeing the Tianyu Game Company’s building his heart sank realizing the gravity of the situation.

    “Let’s go.”

    Long Yi patted him on the back leading him inside.

    This unwanted closeness made Cheng Qing uneasy.

    ……………

    Minutes later.

    In Xu Shaochen’s office.

    Cheng Qing was forced to kneel before Xu Shaochen.

    “Remarkable you’ve got guts to plot against my brother-in-law.”

    Xu Shaochen looked down at him calmly.

    “Kill me or torture me as you please if I wince I’m not a Cheng.”

    Cheng Qing admitted directly without refutation.

    “Bang!”

    Xu Shaochen kicked him down with a disdainful look “Do you have any idea who I am? Tell me who backs you.”

    “Mr. Xu I don’t understand I’ve been alone in Jiangzhou for years.” Cheng Qing replied calmly.

    “Alone?” Xu Shaochen scoffed eyeing him “You’re 36 or 37 are you really alone at this age?”

    In Dragon Country men value family he doubted he hadn’t settled down.

    Cheng Qing stood up his face briefly changing but quickly returned to normal “If you don’t believe me I can’t help it.”

    “But I have a way.” Xu Shaochen bent over to look at him “Do you believe I can trace your ancestors?”

    “Mr. Xu leave my family alone.” Cheng Qing panicked staring at him squeezing his words through clenched teeth.

    “Bang!”

    Xu Shaochen kicked him again “Leave your family alone? Do you deserve to say that after targeting my brother-in-law?”

    Zhao Qingfeng stood by wanting to protest he wasn’t harmed.

    “Cough cough cough…” Cheng Qing clutched his chest coughing blood dripping from his mouth.

    “Admit it there’s no need it’s not worth it.”

    Xu Shaochen spoke indifferently.

    Cheng Qing smirked “I don’t believe someone like Mr. Xu would harm my family.”

    “Are you testing my limits?” Xu Shaochen’s eyes narrowed men would test his patience and morals.

    Cheng Qing showed no fear sitting on the floor “Yes I’m testing your limits I don’t believe you’re so heartless.”

    “Then you’re wrong nowadays rich people often lack morals you should know that as someone wealthy.”

    Xu Shaochen mocked took out his phone dialing “Check someone named Cheng Qing…”

    “No! Please don’t.”

    Cheng Qing grabbed his leg pleading.

    He realized he couldn’t afford to test Xu Shaochen.

    “Bang!”

    Xu Shaochen kicked him for the third time.

    “Clatter——”

    This time Cheng Qing’s wallet fell out he instinctively reached for it.

    Xu Shaochen intercepted stepping on the wallet then bending down examining its contents finding a photo.

    The photo showed a happy family of three Cheng Qing being the father.

    “Your wife and child? They’re quite good-looking.”

    Xu Shaochen waved the wallet smiling at Cheng Qing.

    Cheng Qing’s face turned ashen.
