Chapter 199: You Can’t Handle the Consequences

Inside the restaurant.

Xu Shaochen and Xie Wei sat across from each other.

Long Yi and Long Er were waiting outside.

This was a couple’s restaurant. Just imagine how funny it’d look if two big guys sat together for a meal.

Even thinking about it, it feels ridiculous, filled with a philosophical ♂ air.

“How was your trip back home? Did everything go smoothly?” Xie Wei asked Xu Shaochen while elegantly cutting her steak with a dining knife.

Xu Shaochen nodded, took a sip of wine, and said, “It was fine. Everything is settled.”

“The holidays are coming up. Do you have any plans to go somewhere?” Xie Wei asked, a bit nervous since she was essentially inviting Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen was taken aback. It took him a moment to remember that summer vacation was indeed approaching. He had almost forgotten.

Mainly because his current lifestyle wasn’t much different from being on vacation. Attending class had become entirely casual.

“You have any ideas?” Xu Shaochen asked.

Xie Wei smiled, her eyes curving like a crescent moon. “How about we go traveling?”

“Let’s talk about it later, I have a lot of things going on.” Xu Shaochen didn’t agree. If he ran off with Xie Wei, the other women might rip him apart for disappearing for so long.

Moreover, the company couldn’t be left entirely to Liu Rushuang. He couldn’t possibly let her get worn out doing everything alone, could he? Xie Wei’s expression stiffened slightly at his reply, but she quickly smiled again. “Alright, we can discuss it later.”

After finishing their meal, the two walked out of the restaurant.

However, they were stopped just as they stepped outside.

Seven or eight people surrounded Xu Shaochen and Xie Wei. Leading them was none other than the middle-aged man with glasses from the afternoon.

Long Yi and Long Er moved to Xu Shaochen’s side, their muscles tensed, ready to act at any moment.

After all, they couldn’t just shoot guns in the middle of the street; the consequences would be too severe.

“Kid, didn’t see this coming, did you? You think it’s so easy to injure my hand? So what if you have a couple of guns?”

The middle-aged man with glasses gritted his teeth, glaring at Xu Shaochen, his right hand still in a sling.

“Is this never going to end?”

Xu Shaochen put an arm around Xie Wei and replied indifferently, staring at the man.

“Damn! Who are you trying to show off to now? I’m not done with you! So what? Wow, another woman, huh? This one looks all innocent and pure. I’ll take her for myself tonight!”

The man’s eyes glinted with greed as they landed on Xie Wei. He looked back at Xu Shaochen with a provocative grin.

It was clear he was purposely using Xie Wei to humiliate Xu Shaochen.

Xie Wei felt nervous, clutching Xu Shaochen’s coat tightly.

“Hahaha, little girl, don’t be scared. Uncle here is going to show you what a real man is like in bed tonight.”

The man laughed heartily, completely ignoring Xu Shaochen as he made several obscene gestures.

“Smack!”

Xie Wei’s eyes flashed with anger. She slapped him hard across the face and shouted, “You’re disgusting! You should be saying this to your daughter, given your age! She’s probably around my age!”

“Nicely done.” Xu Shaochen grinned and patted Xie Wei’s head.

It took the man a moment to react, but then he erupted in rage. “You filthy bitch! Consider it an honor that I even looked at you. Don’t you dare refuse me! You’re going to regret it! I’ll have you gang-raped right here tonight!”

“Smack!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Shaochen slapped him across the face, enunciating each word clearly, “I can forgive your ignorance because I’m in a good mood tonight. But if you don’t get lost right now, my mood might worsen, and I don’t think you can handle the consequences.”

The onlookers gasped and stared at Xu Shaochen in shock.

Holy crap, this guy’s crazy! Dude, have you seen the situation here? It looks like they’ve got more people on their side, but you’re making it seem like you’ve got the upper hand.

Back in the day at the blow-up doll factory, we handled heads and hands. And you, you were clearly in charge of showing off.

“Alright, alright, damn it. I’ll make you cry tears of regret only when you’re staring death in the face!”

Feeling the searing pain on his face, the middle-aged man with glasses, who had just been slapped twice, was seething with rage, murderous intent surging within him.

“Ring, ring, ring…”

Just then, his Phone rang.

He quickly answered after glancing at the caller ID, “Hello? Brother-in-law, I’m a bit busy right now…”

“Old He, I heard from Xiao Zhang that you asked him to look into someone. Let me tell you, do not act recklessly. You’re messing with someone you can’t afford to offend. I don’t know what he did to you, but you’re going to have to swallow your pride…”

As he listened to the tense and urgent voice on the Phone, the man with glasses immediately hung up without a word.

His brother-in-law was great in every way, except that he was too timid. For someone with his reputation in Jiangzhou, how could he be frightened by some young punk? Where’s the dignity in that?

“Damn!”

Meanwhile, in his office, Han Tianxiong, after hearing the busy tone over the Phone, couldn’t help but curse loudly, then shouted, “Find out where He Changyu is right now!”

He had just returned from a business dinner, and his secretary informed him that He Changyu had asked for some information on someone. Initially, he didn’t think much about it, but the moment he heard that license plate number, his expression changed.

There was no way Han Tianxiong could ever forget Xu Shaochen’s license plate number.

He Changyu was the husband of his wife’s relative, someone who had been working at one of his subsidiary companies. He often flaunted Han Tianxiong’s name to get his way.

But Han usually paid no attention to it. This time, though, He Changyu had really stirred up some big trouble.

Han finally managed to get Xu Shaochen on his side, and now he was trying to ride on his coattails. If Xu Shaochen got angry because of some petty mess involving He Changyu, Han would absolutely murder him.

To hell with family ties. Only profits matter!

“Chairman, we found him…”

“Don’t say anything else. We’re heading over right now.”

His secretary hadn’t even finished when Han Tianxiong impatiently interrupted him, hoping he wasn’t too late.

At the restaurant entrance.

“Kid, come with us. Jiangzhou’s night views are quite nice. How about a little stroll?”

After ending the call, He Changyu looked at Xu Shaochen with a smirk.

He intended to make Xu Shaochen suffer exactly as he had in the afternoon, but this time ten times worse.

“The views are indeed nice. I’ll accompany you for a walk since you might not get to appreciate them again after tonight.”

Xu Shaochen replied calmly, smiling as he led Xie Wei towards one of He Changyu’s cars.

“Damn show-off. Let’s see if you can keep it up later.”

He Changyu gritted his teeth and cursed, then headed towards the car as well. His underling started the engine, and the convoy began to move steadily along the road.

Long Yi and Long Er followed closely, driving right behind the convoy.
