Chapter 204: I’ll Play Along with You

Long Yi and Long Er were taken to the police station for questioning.

After all, their actions had been quite intense, scaring the four ferocious robbers to the brink of a mental breakdown.

Xu Shaochen made a phone call and was informed that things were a bit serious. They wouldn’t be released until at least tomorrow morning.

“Are they going to be alright?”

After Xu Shaochen hung up, Xie Wei cautiously asked.

“It’s not a big deal.” Xu Shaochen shook his head and prepared to leave with Xie Wei.

However, at that moment, a black Maybach stopped in front of them.

The passenger door opened, and a young bodyguard stepped out, bending down respectfully to open the rear door.

Two people got out of the car: a middle-aged man in a suit and the white-eyed, foul-mouthed woman from the Cinema wearing a Cheongsam.

“Honey, it’s him! He’s the one who hit me! You have to stand up for me!”

Clinging to the middle-aged man’s arm, the Cheongsam woman pointed at Xu Shaochen, her face full of resentment, her eyes filled with hatred.

Xu Shaochen frowned. He hadn’t expected this woman to be so relentless.

“Did you hit my wife?” Kang Jiaming looked at Xu Shaochen calmly, exuding a natural air of authority.

Xu Shaochen smiled indifferently, “You should ask her why she got hit.”

“I don’t care about that. I only know that you hit my wife, and that’s enough.” As soon as Xu Shaochen finished speaking, Kang Jiaming responded forcefully.

Xu Shaochen narrowed his eyes slightly, “Yes, I hit her. What are you going to do about it?”

“Make him kneel and kowtow to me! Lick my shoe soles! Otherwise, I won’t let this go!” Before Kang Jiaming could say anything, the Cheongsam woman impatiently interjected through gritted teeth.

She wanted to trample Xu Shaochen underfoot, to make him understand the cost of daring to hit her.

Kang Jiaming’s tone was calm as he said, “Young man, did you hear that? If you did, hurry up and comply with her demands. I don’t have time to waste on someone like you.”

“I was wondering how a woman in such an expensive Cheongsam could be so crude. Then I saw you, and I realized that money doesn’t buy class.” Xu Shaochen smiled, his eyes betraying a hint of undisguised mockery.

“How dare you! Kid, is that how you talk to our boss? You want to die, don’t you!”

Kang Jiaming’s bodyguard shouted angrily, glaring at Xu Shaochen with a menacing look.

Kang Jiaming’s face turned so dark it could drip water. He spoke through gritted teeth, “Young man, don’t make the mistake of not knowing your place. If you do, kneeling and kowtowing will be the least of your worries. Big trouble will follow.”

“Today, I, Xu Shaochen, am leaving. If you can stop me, you win.”

Xu Shaochen spoke slowly, word by word, as he led Xie Wei towards the car.

As Xu Shaochen got into the G-Class SUV, Kang Jiaming’s expression changed slightly. He realized that his wife must have lied to him. She only told him Xu Shaochen was a poor kid. But is this someone poor? Given the situation now, he had no choice but to act. Letting Xu Shaochen leave now would be a massive loss of face. Besides, it’s just a G-Class SUV. What’s so impressive? Probably just some newly-rich family that he didn’t take seriously.

“Drive. Don’t stop him. If you let him go, you won’t need to come back to work.”

Kang Jiaming said calmly to his driver.

The driver nodded and immediately drove the Maybach in front of the G-Class SUV, blocking Xu Shaochen’s way.

“Shaochen.”

Xie Wei looked at Xu Shaochen uneasily.

Xu Shaochen rolled down the window and looked at Kang Jiaming, his expression as cold as ice. “Do you really want to play? I’m afraid you can’t afford it.”

“Young man, you’re all talk. Do you think I, Kang Jiaming, have faced storms all these years just to be scared by a mere kid?” Kang Jiaming sneered, lighting a cigarette dismissively.

“Bang!”

Before Kang Jiaming could finish speaking, Xu Shaochen rammed his car into the Maybach, sending it flying.

Xu Shaochen didn’t leave. Instead, he just kept ramming the Maybach repeatedly, until the driver had to flee, and the Maybach’s body was a mangled wreck.

Kang Jiaming clenched his fists, his eyes locked onto the G-Class SUV, seething with fury.

Provocation. This was blatant provocation.

It was a colossal humiliation! He, Kang Jiaming, would never rest until this insult was avenged.

After Xu Shaochen had knocked off the Maybach’s doors, he finally stopped. Then, he pulled out his phone and called Du Feng.

“Director Du, do you know a guy named Kang Jiaming?”

“Kang Jiaming? Who is that? Let me ask my secretary… Oh, I remember now. He’s that new player in the retail industry. Mr. Xu, why do you ask?”

“He’s making me kneel and kowtow, and lick his wife’s shoe soles. Tell me, someone that impressive, shouldn’t I look into him?” Xu Shaochen said nonchalantly.

On the other side, Du Feng broke into a cold sweat, forcing a laugh. “Haha, this guy… really brave, isn’t he?”

That was putting it mildly. A more accurate way to put it was: this guy must have a death wish.

Making Xu Shaochen kneel and kowtow, and lick the shoes of his wife. Was he insane? He called himself a rising star in the retail industry, yet he couldn’t even take a moment to find out who Xu Shaochen was?

After hanging up on Du Feng, Xu Shaochen took out a stack of business cards from his pocket and called several people in the retail industry, one by one.

Since Kang Jiaming’s company had just started making a name for itself, why not push him back down?

“Kid, you’re asking for it!”

Seeing Xu Shaochen making phone calls and completely ignoring him, Kang Jiaming roared with anger.

He was somewhat important, but today, everything Xu Shaochen did felt like a series of slaps to his face. How could he tolerate that?

By now, it wasn’t just about avenging his wife. It was about defending his honor and pride.

“Exactly! Kid, if you know what’s good for you, kneel and kowtow to me now, and lick my shoes. Otherwise, you’ll regret it later.” The Cheongsam woman demanded maliciously. In her mind, her husband never failed once he took action.

Xu Shaochen hung up the last call, then put away his phone, and smiled indifferently at Kang Jiaming. “Don’t get so worked up. You’re not young anymore, be careful not to aggravate yourself to death. I said I’d play along slowly. This is just the beginning.”

“Hmph! Trying to scare me? You think I, Kang Jiaming, got to where I am by being scared? Building connections? I have more connections than you do!”

Kang Jiaming scoffed. He assumed Xu Shaochen’s phone calls were to call in favors, but he was unconcerned. He couldn’t believe his connections were lesser than some young kid’s.

“Ring-ring-ring…”

Just as he was about to make a call himself, his phone began to ring.
