Chapter 176: Good Words Can’t Persuade a Dying Ghost

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xue, not far away, revealed a sarcastic smile.

Li Haoming had just arrived, so he was unaware.

But just now, she and Liu Li had personally witnessed Xu Shaochen talking with Du Ruyan. Their relationship is definitely not ordinary.

Li Haoming was trying to make a move on Du Ruyan, and doing so right in front of Xu Shaochen. How is that any different from courting death? “Hello.”

Although Du Ruyan didn’t like the *** in Li Haoming’s eyes when he looked at her, her good upbringing forced her to squeeze out a smile in response.

After all, she couldn’t exactly stop others from having thoughts about her.

“Beautiful lady, to be honest, you look a lot like my future girlfriend. How about giving me a chance to get to know you better?”

Li Haoming handed Du Ruyan the bouquet of flowers he’d just given to Zhou Xue and said a cheesy pickup line from the internet.

His heart burned with desire. Damn, her chest is at least a 32D, right? A real baby face with a bombshell body. Tonight’s going to be fun.

“Who let this idiot in here?”

Xu Shaochen frowned and asked the staff in the dressing room.

The staff exchanged glances, not daring to speak. After all, they knew of Li Haoming’s reputation. He came in looking for Zhou Xue, and they didn’t dare stop him.

“Kid, who the hell are you cursing? Do you have a death wish?”

Upon hearing Xu Shaochen’s words, Li Haoming instantly erupted in anger. Without hesitation, he smashed the bouquet of roses directly into Xu Shaochen’s face.

Wow! Everyone in the dressing room was utterly stunned, their eyes widening in disbelief as they looked at Li Haoming.

Xu Shaochen is their boss. The sheer number of important figures attending today already indicates that Xu Shaochen is not just anybody.

And now, Li Haoming dared to do something like this? This is sheer lunacy!

Zhou Xue and Liu Li were also left dumbfounded. They never expected Li Haoming to be so brazen, with no restraint at all.

How could they have known? Li Haoming just wanted to show off his personality and dominance in front of Du Ruyan, and then find some people to deal with Xu Shaochen, showing off his connections.

By that time, wouldn’t a little girl like Du Ruyan be completely under his control?

As for whether this scene would be recorded and uploaded online, damaging his reputation.

That didn’t concern him at all because his father would cover his tracks.

“Brother Shaochen, are you okay?” Du Ruyan looked at Xu Shaochen with a face full of concern, reaching out to brush away the petals on him.

Seeing this, Li Haoming was first taken aback, and then his heart filled with jealousy.

A little beauty like this should only be enjoyed by him. What does this guy have that warrants all this? It’s simply outrageous.

Xu Shaochen removed a rose petal from his hair and looked at Li Haoming calmly. “What nerve you have. I know who you are. You’re Li Haoming, the celebrity, right? I remember you’re pretty good at dancing, right? I hope you can still dance even if your legs are crippled. Set an example for the disabled.”

“Chairman Xu…”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xue and Liu Li’s faces paled. Although they didn’t like Li Haoming, they were, after all, from the same company.

“I didn’t ask you both to speak, so shut up.” Before the two could finish their words, Xu Shaochen coldly glanced at them.

They could only swallow the rest of their words, realizing that Li Haoming had brought this upon himself. No one else could be blamed.

Li Haoming sneered, “Kid, are you trying to scare me? Do you think I, Li Haoming, am easily frightened? Let me tell you, my father is one of the directors at Shengdian Entertainment. If you dare mess with me, you won’t even know how you died!”

“Li Haoming, Chairman Xu is the boss of this very hotel,” Liu Li couldn’t help but remind him.

After hearing this, Li Haoming became even more dismissive. Pointing at Xu Shaochen’s nose, he said, “I thought you were someone important! You’re just the owner of a five-star hotel. Who gave you the guts to speak to me like this? If you know what’s good for you, stay away from this beautiful lady. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

His dad was a director at Shengdian Entertainment, and he himself had businesses. A mere five-star hotel owner was nothing but a joke in his eyes.

Zhou Xue and Liu Li shook their heads. Truly, good words can’t persuade a dying ghost.

“Someone, come.”

Xu Shaochen coldly ordered, his eyes filled with icy intent.

“Boss.”

Long Yi and Long Er walked in. Recently, Long San and Long Si had been recovering from injuries, so it had been just the two of them following Xu Shaochen.

“Break his legs and throw him out.”

Xu Shaochen said in a calm tone.

Without any hesitation, Long Yi and Long Er moved towards Li Haoming.

“What are you about to do? Don’t come any closer! Kid, if anything happens to me here, even ten of your lives won’t be enough to pay for it… Ah!”

Before Li Haoming could finish speaking, Long Er kicked him to the ground. Then, the two of them pounced on him, delivering a flurry of punches and kicks.

“Ah! Stop! Stop it! You’ll regret this! I swear you’ll all regret this!”

Li Haoming curled up on the ground, clutching his head, but he didn’t forget to continue threatening Xu Shaochen.

After they had beaten him enough, Long Yi and Long Er straightened out Li Haoming’s legs. Their intentions were clear.

“No, no! Please, spare me! I was wrong, I really was wrong!”

Li Haoming seemed to finally realize what was about to happen. Panic-stricken, he looked at Xu Shaochen, repeatedly begging for mercy.

Xu Shaochen merely watched him with indifference, ignoring his pleas. He even wore a mocking smile.

“Crack!”

Two sharp sounds echoed one after the other.

“Ahhhhh!”

Li Haoming let out a heart-wrenching scream. His face turned pale as intense pain caused him to pass out.

“Throw him out.”

Xu Shaochen said indifferently.

Long Yi and Long Er dragged Li Haoming out as if he were nothing more than a dead dog.

Everyone in the dressing room felt their throats go dry. The scene they had just witnessed was simply too overwhelming.

Li Haoming had thrown a bouquet at Xu Shaochen’s face, but the result was his legs being crippled. His life was essentially over.

It’s true what they say—if you don’t seek death, you won’t find it. Xu Shaochen then took out his Phone and dialed Linda’s number: “There’s a director at Shengdian Entertainment with the last name Li. His son is named Li Haoming. Find a way to get him kicked out of the board. Also, investigate if he’s involved in anything harmful to the company. If you find something, send him straight to jail. If not, forget about it. And one more thing, release all of Li Haoming’s scandals online.”

Xu Shaochen had just survived an assassination attempt, so Li Haoming was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

“Miss Zhou, my little sister really likes you. Could you sign an autograph for her?”

After hanging up the Phone, Xu Shaochen smiled at Zhou Xue as if nothing had happened.

“Of course.”

Zhou Xue quickly nodded. Not just one, she’d sign a hundred if he asked.
