Chapter 224: No, No, No, There’s No Misunderstanding

“Too much? If you don’t get lost, I can do something even worse. Want to give it a try?”

Gu An sneered dismissively and spoke through gritted teeth at Xu Shaochen.

A woman is still a woman. Their management skills have something to be desired. Just one driver under her dares to be so arrogant.

Then, Gu An looked at Liu Rushuang with a firm attitude and said, “Chairman Liu, I’m telling you, you’re drinking this wine today whether you like it or not. If you want to cooperate, show me some sincerity.”

Liu Rushuang looked at Xu Shaochen. She hadn’t expected Gu An to be this kind of person. Luckily, Xu Shaochen came with her.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“Idiot.”

Xu Shaochen glanced at Gu An and casually uttered two words before helping Liu Rushuang up, “Let’s go.”

He didn’t want to waste words with someone this stupid. It would only lower his own intelligence.

Besides, he’s much better at other methods to make people talk respectfully to him.

“I’ll be damned if I let anyone leave this room today!”

Seeing how this mere driver dared to disrespect him, Gu An felt an extreme humiliation. His anger flared up instantly as he grabbed a glass and smashed it on the ground.

“Bang!”

The expensive glass shattered into pieces instantly.

“Clang!”

“Boss.”

At the same time, the door of the private room was pushed open. The bodyguards of both Gu An and Xu Shaochen burst in almost simultaneously.

“Teach that brat a lesson! Cripple his right hand for me!”

Gu An pointed at Xu Shaochen, speaking through clenched teeth, his eyes focusing on Xu Shaochen’s right hand that was holding Liu Rushuang’s waist. Jealousy and rage filled his heart.

“Click!”

Just as the two young bodyguards were about to make a move, their bodies froze in the next second, with a cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.

Because behind them, Long Yi and Long Er had pulled out guns and pointed them at the back of their heads.

Gu An was puzzled as to why his bodyguards hadn’t acted. When he turned around, his face instantly turned pale.

He then glared at Liu Rushuang and gritted his teeth, “Chairman Liu, what a move, carrying a gun while discussing business. I wonder if you use your mouth or the gun to close deals.”

“Heh, it can’t be helped. Although we live in a harmonious society now, there are still people like you out there. The gun is specifically for those who don’t know their place.” Xu Shaochen chuckled and took a sip from Liu Rushuang’s wine glass.

Liu Rushuang forced herself to stay composed, but Xu Shaochen introduced her to Gu An, “Mr. Gu, this is the Chairman of our Chen Yu, Xu Shaochen, and also my boyfriend.”

Gu An’s heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t expected Xu Shaochen to have such an eccentric taste, disguising himself as a mere driver despite his high status.

“Chairman Xu, I think there might be some misunderstanding…” Gu An forced a stiff smile. The situation was beyond his control. However, before he could finish, Xu Shaochen interrupted coldly, “Misunderstanding? No, no, no. There’s no misunderstanding. I’m fully aware of everything that happened. You wanted to sleep with my woman and cripple my hand.”

Having his speech interrupted by Xu Shaochen, Gu An was burning with anger. He slammed his palm on the table, “Xu, what do you want?”

Damn it, giving face doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you! I don’t believe you have the guts to shoot and kill me!

In the next moment, Xu Shaochen grabbed the handgun from Long Er’s hand and immediately fired at the hand Gu An had slammed on the table.

“Bang!”

With the sound of the gunshot, the bullet pierced through Gu An’s broad palm, blood splashing out mixed with fragments of flesh.

“Aaaah!”

Gu An let out a piercing scream, his face twisted in agony as his complexion turned as pale as paper. Large beads of sweat continued to roll down his forehead.

“You wanted to cripple my hand, so I crippled yours. Fair enough, right?” Xu Shaochen smiled slightly as he returned the gun to Long Er.

Gu An glared at Xu Shaochen with bloodshot eyes, responding through gritted teeth, “Xu, unless you kill me today, this isn’t over!”

“Smack!”

Just as he finished speaking, Xu Shaochen slapped him across the face with a cold sneer, “Not over with me? That was for wanting to cripple my hand. We haven’t even gotten to the part about you trying to sleep with my woman!”

A moment ago, Gu Feng still had a tough expression, but now his face turned ghostly pale as he instinctively pulled back his other hand.

“Tap tap tap…”

At that moment, rapid footsteps echoed. A voice came before the person, “What’s going on here? Who dares to fire a gun in my Xingchen Hotel!”

The voice was full of anger, showing that the man was furious.

As soon as Gu An heard this voice, his eyes lit up, and he gave Xu Shaochen a sinister smile, “Kid, you’re done for. Didn’t I just tell you that the owner of this hotel is my friend? You’re screwed!”

Shortly after, a furious Du Jun entered the private room, but when he saw Xu Shaochen, the anger on his face instantly turned into a smile.

“Mr. Xu, you should’ve given me a heads-up! I could’ve made better arrangements for you!”

Seeing the guns in Long Yi and Long Er’s hands, Du Jun immediately realized where the gunshot had come from. But since it was Xu Shaochen’s men, he had no intention, nor the ability, to pursue it further.

Upon seeing this, the sinister smile slowly disappeared from Gu An’s face, replaced by shock and confusion.

Who was Du Jun? He was the son of Du Feng, the eldest young master of the Du Family.

But now, he was being respectful in front of Xu Shaochen. Instantly, panic took over Gu An’s heart. Tentatively, he spoke up, “Brother Du, do you remember me?”

“Brother Gu… You…” Du Jun finally noticed Gu An, though just a moment ago, all his attention had been on Xu Shaochen.

However, when his gaze fell on Gu An’s injured hand, his expression became unpredictable as he weighed the pros and cons.

It was clear that the current situation had developed such that Xu Shaochen was the one who shot Gu An’s hand.

What should Du Jun do next?

Gu An also noticed Du Jun’s hesitation and quickly said, “Brother Du, we really hit it off when we met. You can’t just stand by and watch me die, can you?”

“Mr. Xu, this man is my friend. I’m not sure what he may have done to offend you, but could you see fit to give him another chance?”

Seeing Gu An’s pleading eyes, Du Jun ultimately couldn’t bring himself to harden his heart. After all, they had some camaraderie.

Gu An also anxiously pleaded for mercy from Xu Shaochen, “Mr. Xu, I acted foolishly. I did something terribly wrong. Please, Mr. Xu, don’t hold it against me. Given Brother Du’s friendship, spare me. I beg of you, I beg of you…”

He had made up his mind, if he survived this, he would definitely ask Du Jun to find out who Xu Shaochen really was.

Since when did Jiangzhou have such a powerful individual? Not recognizing him had nearly cost Gu An his life today. This was a lesson paid for in blood.
