Chapter Index

    “Treating you like a fart to let go? Sorry my digestion is good I don’t often fart.”

    Xu Shaochen looked at He Tian’s plea with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

    “Brother I get it I understand your rules I saw nothing really nothing.”

    He Tian was speaking while closing his eyes like deceiving himself.

    “………” Xu Shaochen was speechless.

    Is he mistaking me for an armed robber?

    Xu Shaochen looked at the people behind He Tian.

    “Brother it’s none of our business we don’t know him we just entered the wrong room.”

    “Yes yes we just made a mistake how did we end up here.”

    “Brother we won’t disturb you we’ll leave first.”

    The group unceremoniously sold out He Tian.

    “Get out.”

    Xu Shaochen uttered a single word.

    “Yes we’ll go right away.”

    The group was overjoyed dropping their weapons and scrambling out.

    “Brother then… what about me?”

    He Tian looked at Xu Shaochen full of hope.

    “You?”

    Xu Shaochen smacked the back of his head. “Squat in the corner horse stance until I say stop.”

    “Ah?!”

    He Tian looked at Xu Shaochen dumbfounded.

    “Slap!”

    Xu Shaochen slapped him again. “Are you deaf still not going?”

    “Got it.”

    He Tian quickly rolled to the corner and began the horse stance.

    “Long Er I’m going to nap in the bedroom keep an eye on him.”

    Xu Shaochen told Long Er to watch He Tian then went to the bedroom to rest.

    Evening.

    Xu Shaochen changed clothes and came out ready to head to the airport back to Jiangzhou.

    “B-Brother.”

    As soon as he came out of the bedroom a trembling voice reached his ears.

    Xu Shaochen looked in the direction of the sound.

    In the corner of the living room He Tian was squatting drenched in sweat clenching his teeth.

    “Boss this kid’s been squatting all afternoon.”

    Long Er said to Xu Shaochen.

    “Impressive.” Xu Shaochen gave a thumbs up sincerely praising.

    He thought He Tian would give up after half an hour asking Long Er for mercy and let him go.

    Who would have thought this kid could squat all afternoon.

    “Brother am I done?”

    He Tian’s face was a mix of sweat and tears teeth chattering he felt his legs weren’t his own.

    “Go away quickly.”

    Xu Shaochen waved his hand.

    “Thank you brother.”

    He Tian was overjoyed crying with happiness then…

    “Thud—”

    He fell flat on the ground.

    Squatting too long made his legs go numb.

    Xu Shaochen shook his head and called Long Er to leave the room.

    At ten in the evening Xu Shaochen’s plane took off on time.

    He notified no one even Chen Dongyu found out after he boarded.

    ……………

    America.

    “Boss we only found eyewitness reports of the young master’s ship leaving shore then no news.”

    A middle-aged man spoke cautiously to Wang Lan his forehead dotted with sweat appearing very nervous.

    “I see go do your work.”

    Wang Lan waved calmly.

    The man was stunned looking at Wang Lan in disbelief.

    He expected to face Wang Lan’s furious rage.

    “What are you waiting for! Get out!”

    Wang Lan roared.

    “Yes boss.”

    The man was startled yes that was the right response.

    “Bang!”

    Wang Lan angrily smashed an ashtray on the floor eyes red with anger gritted his teeth. “Xu Shaochen I will make you pay with blood!”

    He finished then made a phone call.

    A few minutes later Wang Kun knocked and entered. “Dad you called me.”

    “Your brother is dead.” Wang Lan’s voice was hoarse.

    Wang Kun froze in place blinking incredulously. “No… Dad what did you say? What happened to brother?”

    Wang Kun’s acting was so realistic he could win an award.

    “I said your brother is dead!” Wang Lan slammed the table raising his voice.

    Wang Kun was instantly furious. “Who did it! Dad who!”

    “Xu Shaochen.” Wang Lan’s face showed pain then turned vicious. “Handle it arrange some people to Jiangzhou I want an eye for an eye!”

    “Dad you…” Wang Kun instinctively wanted to say “are you crazy” but caught himself. “Dad don’t worry I’ll avenge brother.”

    “Good if you avenge your brother the position is yours.”

    Wang Lan patted Wang Kun’s shoulder.

    “Dad I I won’t disappoint you.”

    Wang Kun showed excitement but internally he was dismissive.

    Always promising me the world.

    How many promises have you made never kept? and when will I even get the position.

    So I’ll take it myself.

    “Go I await your good news.”

    Wang Lan had no clue his illegitimate son had changed nor the promises were worthless.

    “Dad I’ll go arrange it now.”

    Wang Kun turned and left.

    As he turned a cold smile appeared on his face.

    In the car Wang Kun dialed Xu Shaochen.

    “Hello why call at night I’m on a plane.”

    Xu Shaochen quickly answered.

    Luckily planes allow phone use otherwise Xu wouldn’t have received it.

    “My dad lost it Wang Zhanhang’s death pushed him he wants you dead then Tianqing is mine.”

    Wang Kun calmly said gesturing the driver to go.

    “And you interested?” Xu Shaochen laughed.

    Wang Kun sneered. “That old man is rotten I trust him not a bit I called to ask your plans.”

    “He wants me dead so let’s sideline him arrange an opportunity I’ll have it handled.”

    Xu Shaochen’s voice was icy Wang Kun felt his murderous intent.

    “Okay I’ll wait for your word.”

    Wang Kun bit his lip and agreed.

    Plotting against his own father Wang Kun felt strange but excited.

    Once Wang Lan dies as the illegitimate son he’ll take over.
