Chapter Index

    “Two at once? Isn’t that a bit too extravagant?” Xu Shaochen asked.

    “These are hotel freebies, no need to waste them. I heard rich people use four at once.” Mei Liangxin’s voice sounded somewhat lecherous.

    “Get lost!”

    Xu Shaochen spat out the word irritably and then hung up the phone.

    Well, Mei Liangxin with his usual vulgar tone is indeed likable.

    However, Xu Shaochen had to correct one thing—As a wealthy person, he generally didn’t wear any.

    ………

    On the other side, Liao Jie had just left the villa area when he received a call from Mei Liangxin.

    “Haha, Liao Jie, how do you feel? Isn’t my boss amiable and easygoing?”

    Liao Jie snorted with anger, gritting his teeth as he said, “Hmph, Second Young Master, I’ll report this to the Boss. That arrogant kid is as good as dead!”

    “I advise you not to do that, or else your Mei Family might not exist anymore.”

    “Utterly ridiculous, Second Young Master! Your perspective is too narrow. Do you really think a nouveau riche factory owner can reach the heavens?” Liao Jie sneered in disdain.

    “Of course he can’t reach the heavens, but he can certainly send you there. When you meet God, don’t forget to say hi for me.”

    With that, Mei Liangxin hung up the call. After all, good advice doesn’t work on those doomed to die.

    Moreover, even if the Mei Family were gone, it wouldn’t matter to him in the slightest.

    Beep… beep…

    Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Liao Jie’s face turned from green to white in an instant. Damn that Xu Shaochen, damn that Mei Liangxin.

    “Just you wait! I won’t let either of you get away with this.”

    “Especially you, Mei Liangxin! A lowly second young master. If it weren’t for the fact that the eldest young master needs a liver transplant, you wouldn’t even count as a fart!”

    Ding ding ding…

    At that moment, his phone rang again.

    An angry expression flashed across Liao Jie’s face as he answered the call without hesitation, “Mei Liangxin, Second Young Master Mei, don’t be so arrogant. In my eyes, you’re nothing but crap. Screw you!”

    He couldn’t hold back anymore. Today, he had been provoked repeatedly by two clowns. He had never encountered such a situation before, and his patience had reached its limit.

    “Liao Jie, you want to screw my wife?” A deep male voice came from the phone.

    Clatter!

    Liao Jie’s phone fell to the ground, his face changing instantly. He hurriedly picked it up again, “Boss, it’s a misunderstanding! I didn’t mean that, I swear…”

    He had mistaken it for Mei Liangxin, but it turned out to be his boss. His heart instantly filled with panic.

    “Enough with the nonsense, what’s going on?” The voice on the other end cut him off impatiently.

    Liao Jie sighed in relief and immediately replied respectfully, “Boss, the Second Young Master doesn’t know his place…”

    He exaggerated the events, hoping to fuel his boss’s anger. If he succeeded, both Mei Liangxin and Xu Shaochen would be toast.

    “Hmph, how ungrateful. Stay in Jiangzhou and wait. I’ll send some people over to handle that Xu. Give him a lesson he won’t forget.”

    “Yes, yes, Boss. I absolutely won’t disappoint you.” Liao Jie was bowing and scraping even through the phone, playing the part of a lackey perfectly.

    After the call ended, a gloating look flashed in Liao Jie’s eyes.

    Damn it, just wait until reinforcements arrive. I’ll see how you plan to fight back.

    ………

    In the living room.

    Xu Shaochen’s face changed instantly after receiving a call from Long Si.

    That’s because Long Si informed him that someone had just gone to the hospital and tried to enter the ward, but he had stopped them. The other party was armed.

    “Zhou Hu!” Xu Shaochen squeezed out the words through gritted teeth after hanging up.

    He couldn’t help but feel lucky that he had left Long Si behind in the hospital. Otherwise, his mother might not have been so fortunate.

    Ding ding ding…

    Suddenly, his phone rang again. It was a call from Long San.

    “Boss, they’re staying at the Tenglong Hotel.”

    “Keep an eye on them.”

    Xu Shaochen hung up the phone after giving the instruction, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Zhou Hu, Zhou Hu, fate really has a sense of humor. Out of all the places, you chose to stay in my territory?

    The Tenglong Hotel belongs to Tenglong Catering Group, which is managed by Xu Corporation’s Jiangzhou branch. In other words, it’s Xu Shaochen’s property.

    Staying there is like walking into the lion’s den. It’s practically a death wish.

    He called Long Yi and Long Er, instructing them to go to the Tenglong Hotel and meet up with Long San. They would kidnap Zhou Hu that night.

    He wasn’t going to let Zhou Hu die so easily. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be enough to quench his hatred.

    At 5 PM, Linda returned home.

    “Boss, how was your piano lesson today?” she asked Xu Shaochen, who was sitting on the sofa.

    Xu Shaochen replied without missing a beat, “Not bad. The teacher said I have a natural talent for the piano.”

    Yep, lying with a straight face is something he’s quite good at.

    “Really? I knew it! Boss is the best!” Linda giggled. If she knew the truth, she wouldn’t say that.

    Today, Xu Shaochen had driven the piano teacher to the brink of collapse. If it hadn’t been for the strength of his ‘Power of Money,’ the teacher would have quit long ago.

    Xu Shaochen smiled calmly and casually pulled Linda into his arms. “Of course it’s true. I’ve never lied since I was a child.”

    Well, he didn’t lie as a child. But now that he’s grown up, it’s a different story. No issue there.

    “I’ll go make dinner.” Linda had been learning Chinese cuisine recently. Compared to the repetitive nature of Western dishes, Chinese cuisine was far more diverse.

    Slap!

    Xu Shaochen playfully smacked the roundness beneath her skirt, marveling at its elasticity.

    “Ah! Boss, you’re so naughty. That hurt!”

    Linda cried out, her face reddening slightly. She turned around, casting a resentful glance at Xu Shaochen, an expression of endless charm in her eyes. Her almond-shaped eyes seemed to overflow with emotion.

    “Hurry up and cook, or I might eat you instead.”

    If this were any other day, Xu Shaochen would have already flipped her over and gone wild.

    But right now, Xu Shaochen didn’t have the mood. Zhou Hu must die, and the Zhou Family must be destroyed. Only then could he find peace.

    “Linda, do we have any properties in Yunzhou?” Xu Shaochen suddenly asked.

    Linda nodded, “Of course, Boss. Xu Corporation’s assets are spread nationwide.”

    “I’m going to Yunzhou in a few days. Send me the contact information for our people there.” Xu Shaochen said. Now that he knew they had assets in Yunzhou, dealing with the Zhou family would be much easier.

    “Sure thing, my dear Boss.”

    Linda cast a seductive look at him before walking to the kitchen with cat-like grace. Her long, slender legs wrapped in Black Stockings shimmered under the sunlight.

    “Vixen.”

    Xu Shaochen muttered. Linda’s tender and soft demeanor was inherently alluring. If she weren’t a vixen, then what was she? Xu Shaochen just hoped she wouldn’t drain him dry someday.
