Chapter Index

    “Come with me.”

    After Xu Shaochen left, Lin Youguo looked at Lin Yu with a stern expression.

    Feeling uneasy, Lin Yu followed Lin Youguo into the office.

    “Smack!”

    As soon as he entered, Lin Youguo slapped him hard across the face and said coldly, “If this happens again, I won’t consider you my son anymore.”

    Lin Youguo wasn’t foolish; he knew his son well. Ma Xiangnan wouldn’t have arrived so quickly today without Lin Yu tipping him off.

    “Yes, Dad.” Lin Yu nodded reluctantly, his face stinging with pain.

    ………

    “What do you plan to do?”

    Mei Liangxin asked Xu Shaochen.

    “I’ll have a chat with Chairman Ma.” Xu Shaochen said calmly.

    Mei Liangxin was taken aback. “Chat?”

    This ‘chat’ probably meant a physical one, as in using force.

    In the Chairman’s Office at Xiangnan Real Estate.

    Ma Xiangnan was busy hugging his secretary while frantically exerting himself. The Phone was on the desk as he waited for news from Dafeng Factory.

    “Chairman, you’re amazing today. You almost took my life.”

    Underneath him, the secretary playfully batted her eyelashes despite feeling the small thing stirring inside her.

    Amazing, my foot!

    If he weren’t the chairman, she would have called him useless. Not only was it short, but it also didn’t last long. She found it tedious to even bother taking off her skirt.

    After all, within two or three minutes, she had to put it back on.

    “Hahaha, wasn’t I?”

    Ma Xiangnan’s body convulsed, then he began putting his pants back on, feeling triumphant. He had lasted thirty seconds longer than last time.

    In his view, anyone who claims to last over five minutes is bragging.

    A normal man should last just like him—two to three minutes at most.

    “Bang!”

    Suddenly, the office door was kicked open violently. Xu Shaochen and Mei Liangxin walked in.

    “Oh! Chairman Ma is busy plowing the field. Seems we’ve come at a bad time.”

    Mei Liangxin quipped upon seeing the scene. He couldn’t help but notice that the secretary did have a nice figure.

    “Ah!”

    The secretary screamed, grabbing her clothes and hiding behind the desk.

    “What are you here for? Get out, now! Someone, help!”

    Ma Xiangnan glared at Xu Shaochen coldly while slowly fastening his belt.

    “No need to shout. The fools outside have already been taken care of.”

    Xu Shaochen spoke calmly, then turned around and closed the office door.

    “You… what do you want? I’m warning you, don’t do anything reckless!”

    Ma Xiangnan’s face turned pale. Given his shady dealings that led to his success, he was always very cautious about his safety.

    He usually had two guards outside his office, but Xu Shaochen had silently dealt with them.

    Now, seeing Xu Shaochen close the door, panic washed over him.

    “Mess with me over forced demolitions? Do you have a death wish?”

    Xu Shaochen uttered each word with emphasis as he approached Ma Xiangnan.

    “Kid, I advise you to calm down. If anything happens to me, you won’t have a good ending either.”

    Seeing Xu Shaochen coming closer, Ma Xiangnan’s eyes showed a trace of panic, but outwardly, he forced himself to appear calm.

    He could hardly believe Xu Shaochen dared to come directly to his office.

    “Wham!”

    Without another word, Xu Shaochen kicked out.

    “Ah!”

    Ma Xiangnan screamed as he flew backward, crashing into the desk, feeling like all his internal organs had shifted.

    “Thud!”

    Just as he tried to get up, Xu Shaochen stomped on him again, pinning his face to the ground.

    “Wouldn’t it have been better to leave things alone? But you insisted on courting death. A stubborn fool cannot be easily advised, why didn’t you listen?”

    Xu Shaochen kept Ma Xiangnan pinned under his foot, looking down at him.

    “Cough, cough… Let me go. I’ll give up Dafeng Factory. I won’t hold this against you.”

    Ma Xiangnan coughed up blood, his internal injuries apparent.

    Of course, he was just saying that. He swore he would avenge this humiliation.

    “Just let you go? Wouldn’t that make my visit a waste?” Xu Shaochen smirked dismissively.

    Terror flashed in Ma Xiangnan’s eyes. “What… what do you intend to do?”

    Xu Shaochen didn’t reply. He simply raised his foot and began grinding down on Ma Xiangnan’s right hand.

    “Aaahhh!”

    Ma Xiangnan let out a blood-curdling scream, his entire face turning pale. The fingers of his right hand were mangled and bloodied, with the bones exposed.

    Even Mei Liangxin shuddered at the sight. Ten fingers are connected to the heart; the pain must have been excruciating!

    “This is to teach you a lesson. The first time you reach your hand out, I break it. If you dare do it again, I will take your life.”

    Xu Shaochen squatted down, grabbing Ma Xiangnan’s hair to make him look directly at him, while gently patting his face with his other hand.

    Ma Xiangnan remained silent, his eyes filled with fear and anger as he stared at Xu Shaochen. The searing pain in his hand kept him painfully awake.

    “Heh.”

    Xu Shaochen let out a laugh at Ma Xiangnan’s anger. Then he released him, stood up, and headed for the door.

    This was just a minor warning. If Ma Xiangnan dared to ignore it…

    Jiangzhou is near the sea. Throwing Ma Xiangnan’s corpse into it wouldn’t cause the slightest ripple.

    Just as Xu Shaochen reached the door, he stopped and turned back with a smile. “Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xu Shaochen.”

    After saying that, he opened the office door and strode out.

    Ma Xiangnan stared venomously at Xu Shaochen’s back. The name sounded familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had heard it before.

    “Chairman, are you okay? Chairman?”

    The secretary, who was still completely naked, hurried over from behind the desk to help Ma Xiangnan, her face filled with worry.

    Shaking, Ma Xiangnan pulled himself up and used his left hand to dial a Phone number. “Director Li, I need to ask you something. Have you heard of Xu Shaochen…?”

    “Clatter!”

    Moments later, Ma Xiangnan’s Phone slipped from his hand, shattering on the floor.

    Cold sweat began to bead on his forehead, and his body trembled. His back was completely drenched.

    It was only now that he realized just how incredibly lucky he was to escape with his life.

    Xu Shaochen!

    He knew the name was familiar, but now he remembered—this person was someone he wouldn’t dare provoke even if given a hundred chances!
