Chapter 157: Not Showing Me Respect Will Lead to Major Consequences

“Thud!”

The middle-aged man casually tossed the unconscious bodyguard to the ground, flashing Du Feng a mocking smile. “Your Du Family’s bodyguards are really not up to much. What’s the difference between trying to stop me and seeking death?”

Everyone was filled with doubt. Just who was this person? And what kind of grudge did he have with the Du Family? “Boss!”

Long Yi and Long Er rushed in from outside, standing behind Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen shook his head to indicate he was fine.

“Who are you, daring to cause trouble at our Du Family? Tired of living?” Du Feng glared coldly at the middle-aged man, sure he didn’t recognize him.

The middle-aged man sneered. “Boss Du, you really have a poor memory. Ten years ago, my Zhang Family’s business was completely devoured by you.”

“It’s you, Zhang Hao!”

Du Feng’s face changed as he finally remembered who this man was—the eldest son of the once-prominent Zhang Family.

Everyone else also started to recall. After all, the business war between the Du Family and the Zhang Family ten years ago was quite classic.

Ten years ago, the Du Family was nothing like it is today. Back then, they competed fiercely with the Zhang Family for an entire year.

In the end, the Du Family pushed the Zhang Family into bankruptcy, swallowing up their business and growing to what they are now.

“Zhang Hao, what do you want? It was just normal business competition back then. If the Du Family had lost, my fate wouldn’t have been any better,” Du Feng said coldly as he looked at Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao grinned savagely. “I don’t want anything. Thirty years can see changes in fortune everywhere. Today, I’m only here to take back everything that belonged to my Zhang Family.”

“Ridiculous! Zhang Hao, we live in a lawful society now. Do you really think that just learning a bit of martial arts makes you invincible?” Du Feng scoffed, as if he had just heard an absurd joke.

“Bang!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hao casually kicked a table, shattering it into pieces. He arrogantly looked at Du Feng and said, “Tell me, if I wanted to cripple you today, could anyone here stop me?”

Seeing the table break into pieces, everyone couldn’t help but gasp. Is this really possible by human strength?

Du Feng’s face turned pale, and he couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear as he looked at the shattered table.

Sensing the shock of the crowd, Zhang Hao’s face became smug. When his Zhang Family went bankrupt all those years ago, his father was imprisoned for commercial fraud, and he fled to Hong Kong.

He never expected to meet a martial arts master in Hong Kong.

The master found his bone structure exceptional and took him as a disciple, training him day and night, all for this very day.

Since he couldn’t reclaim what was lost in the business world, he would take it back with his fists.

“My friend, I am Zhou Yun of the Zhou Family. How about giving me some face and backing off for today?”

At this moment, Zhou Yun stood up, walked over to Zhang Hao, cupping his hands as a sign of respect, and said calmly.

“Zhou Family of Yunzhou?” Zhang Hao raised an eyebrow and asked.

Zhou Yun’s face showed some pride as he said arrogantly, “That’s right, the Zhou Family of Yunzhou.”

He was very confident in his status, believing that Zhang Hao would surely show him some respect.

Zhou Yun even threw a taunting glance at Xu Shaochen. If you have the guts, stand up and compete with me now!

“Bang!”

“Ah! Pth!”

The next second, Zhang Hao kicked Zhou Yun, sending him flying to the ground. Blood spurted out from his mouth.

“Zhou Family of Yunzhou! In the past, I might have been somewhat wary, but now, in my eyes, you’re nothing.”

Zhang Hao looked at Zhou Yun with utter contempt.

“You… cough, cough…” Zhou Yun struggled to get up, his face pale.

He never expected that Zhang Hao wouldn’t even give him, Zhou Yun, any face, and would even dare to hit him.

First, it was Xu Shaochen, and now Zhang Hao. Today, he couldn’t have been more embarrassed.

Everyone else just pulled back the corners of their mouths. This was probably the fabled trying to act tough but failing spectacularly.

Overestimating yourself could only lead to a downfall like this.

“It seems that your Zhou Family’s name isn’t really that effective anymore!”

Xu Shaochen looked at Zhou Yun with a sneer, his eyes filled with amusement.

Zhou Yun’s face went from blue to white as he gritted his teeth. “It’s easy to talk when you’re just watching. Try it yourself if you have the guts.”

“My friend, since even he wants me to try, how about giving me some face and letting it end here?”

Xu Shaochen sat in his chair, holding a glass of wine, speaking indifferently to Zhang Hao.

Hearing this, Zhou Yun’s face showed a look of mockery. Truly doesn’t know his own limitations.

The other party didn’t even give the Zhou Family face. What do you think you are, Xu Shaochen? This is just asking for humiliation.

“Who do you think you are? You think you deserve my respect?”

Zhang Hao sneered, looking at Xu Shaochen as if he were a clown.

Zhou Yun gave Xu Shaochen a cold smile and said sarcastically, “It seems that your face doesn’t count for much either.”

“Do you understand the consequences of not giving me face?”

Xu Shaochen put down his wine glass, leaned back slightly, and the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a cold expression.

For a moment.

The temperature in the entire courtyard seemed to drop several degrees.

“Kid, your arrogance successfully angered me. I’ll be merciful and only cripple one of your hands.”

Zhang Hao looked at Xu Shaochen with a savage grin, and as soon as he finished speaking, he stomped the ground and charged at Xu Shaochen.

“Mr. Xu!”

Seeing this, Du Feng and the others were shocked.

If anything happened to Xu Shaochen here, none of them would escape today.

Zhou Yun grinned maliciously, his eyes full of schadenfreude. He could already envision Xu Shaochen’s pitiful outcome.

As Zhang Hao charged towards him, Xu Shaochen remained seated, his eyes showing a trace of disdain.

Seeing that Xu Shaochen wasn’t dodging, Zhang Hao coldly sneered and reached out to grab his arm.

But the very next second, as Zhang Hao extended his hand, his entire body suddenly froze, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Long Yi had pressed a handgun squarely against Zhang Hao’s forehead, the cold feel of the barrel enough to paralyze him.

Everyone was stunned, looking at the scene in disbelief. No one had expected that Long Yi was carrying a handgun. No wonder Xu Shaochen was so calm.

“I told you, not giving me face would lead to major consequences,” Xu Shaochen said with a nonchalant smile, his eyes full of amusement.

Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and said, “You’re despicable. If you’ve got the guts, fight me one-on-one.”

Though his martial arts were good, he didn’t think he could dodge a bullet.

“Slap!”

Xu Shaochen stood up and smacked Zhang Hao across the face, grabbing him by the hair and pulling him close. Looking at him with scorn, Xu Shaochen said slowly:

“Who do you think you are? What makes you think you deserve a fight with me? You’re just a stray dog. Do you even qualify?”
