Chapter 298: Even I Can’t Handle You?

After finishing breakfast.

Xu Shaochen contacted the Southern District Police Station where Ma Buping was detained, and then he went there with Du Ruyan. Naturally, Long Yi and Long Er were driving.

“Mr. Xu, this way, please.”

The chief of the Southern District Police Station personally came out to greet Xu Shaochen. In Jiangzhou nowadays, anyone with some money and power knew who Xu Shaochen was.

He was practically a living god of wealth.

“Sorry to trouble you.”

Xu Shaochen politely said to the chief. After all, ordinarily, it wasn’t possible to meet prisoners during this time, but Xu Shaochen wasn’t an ordinary person.

“No trouble at all, Mr. Xu, you’re being too polite.”

The chief was very warm and welcoming because he knew that in the eyes of true big shots, he was merely a low-level official.

Soon, Xu Shaochen met Ma Buping. He didn’t let Du Ruyan come in, mainly because he feared that she might lose control of her emotions.

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu, and I suppose I’m the son-in-law of the Du Family. Du Feng is my father-in-law, and Du Jun is my brother-in-law.”

Xu Shaochen gave a faint smile as he looked at Ma Buping and spoke calmly.

Ma Buping was tall and thin, but his appearance gave off a fierce impression.

Ma Buping raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, “What do you want from me? The car accident was entirely my fault, and I feel very guilty, but what’s done is done. I’ll pay the price for it.”

“What kind of price do you think you’re paying? Haha! Running a red light and causing an accident – you can’t get the death penalty for that. You killed two people, and the price you’re talking about is just spending a few decades in prison? You’re overestimating yourself. Do you think decades in prison can make up for two lives?”

Xu Shaochen looked at Ma Buping with a mocking expression. The man’s calm demeanor was so unsettling that it made Xu Shaochen suspect he had something more up his sleeve.

“All lives are equal. I believe in the law.” Ma Buping said calmly, his tone showing both confidence and a hint of provocation.

“Smack!”

Xu Shaochen raised his hand and slapped Ma Buping across the face, speaking coldly, “You think the law can’t handle you, but do you think I can’t handle you either?”

“He hit me! He hit me! I want to go back to my cell! He hit me,”

Ma Buping yelled out loud, but no one paid any attention to him. Eventually, he could only glare fiercely at Xu Shaochen.

“Go ahead, keep shouting. Let’s see if anyone comes today. As long as you enter prison, I have a hundred ways to make sure you die accidentally!”

Xu Shaochen sneered at Ma Buping, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Ma Buping couldn’t hold Xu Shaochen’s gaze and immediately lost his previous calm. His face gradually paled, and a drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

“Tell me, who ordered you to do it?”

Xu Shaochen asked. After seeing Ma Buping, he was now certain that the deaths of Du Feng and Du Jun were no accidents.

Ma Buping remained silent. He had already decided to ignore whatever Xu Shaochen said.

“Fine. You don’t have to talk. Your son is currently in second grade, and today is Monday. Your wife should be picking him up from school at five in the afternoon, right? Your son is really cute.”

Xu Shaochen spoke softly, still looking directly at Ma Buping. Of course, he was threatening him. Even if Ma Buping deserved to die, it had nothing to do with his wife and son.

Xu Shaochen loathed it when people messed with those close to him, so naturally, he had no intention of harming Ma Buping’s wife or son. He just wanted to scare Ma Buping.

“What are you planning to do?! I’m warning you, don’t go too far! Otherwise, I’ll kill your entire family!”

The previously silent Ma Buping immediately became agitated and glared at Xu Shaochen with murderous intent.

Xu Shaochen calmly smiled and grabbed Ma Buping’s hair, slamming his head down onto the table, “I’ll get my revenge one way or another. If you tell me who ordered you, I’ll go after them. If you don’t talk, I’ll come for you, starting with your wife and son.”

“Some money isn’t so easy to earn. Taking it can lead to serious consequences. You made my woman lose her father and brother, so I’ll make you feel the pain of losing your wife and son. Don’t test my patience with your temper. You may be ruthless, but I can be even more ruthless. This is your last chance. Speak, or don’t.”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!” Ma Buping swallowed hard. He had taken on this task just to leave money for his wife and son.

If something happened to his wife and son, no amount of money would matter.

“Smack!”

Xu Shaochen let go of him and gave him another slap, “Ungrateful fool, why do you always have to push me?”

“I’ll talk, but after I’ve said everything, you must leave my wife and son alone.” Ma Buping began trying to negotiate with Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen nodded expressionlessly. He never actually intended to harm Ma Buping’s wife and son; he was just using that as a threat.

As for sparing Ma Buping, that was a joke. At most, Xu Shaochen would make sure his death was quick.

Since he had taken money he shouldn’t have, he was destined to pay the price. Getting just a few decades for two lives was too lenient.

“I don’t know who contacted me. We never met, only communicated by phone. It was Wang Dou who introduced this job to me. He said I’d get ten million yuan after it was done. I’ve stashed the two million yuan advance payment in the ceiling of my bedroom.”

“Ten million yuan? No wonder you took the risk. Who is Wang Dou?” Xu Shaochen sneered, not worried that Ma Buping would get the chance to spend the money.

Ma Buping ignored his sneer and answered, “He’s an acquaintance of mine. He currently works as a driver for some boss and lives in the same neighborhood as I do.”

“Your wife and son are safe.”

Xu Shaochen stood up and said calmly, then turned and left.

Ma Buping breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn’t notice the flaw in Xu Shaochen’s words: Xu Shaochen only said his wife and son were safe, not that he himself was safe.

“How did it go?”

As soon as Xu Shaochen came out, Du Ruyan hurried up to meet him.

“Long Yi, go to Ma Buping’s neighborhood and find someone named Wang Dou. Stake out his home, and no matter what you need to do, bring him to me.”

It wasn’t until they left the police station that Xu Shaochen spoke. After all, some things couldn’t be said in front of the police; it would be bad for public relations.

“Yes, Boss.”

Long Yi nodded and quickly left to handle the task.

Then Xu Shaochen took out his phone and dialed Han Tianxiong. After the call, he drove Du Ruyan back home.

No one knew what that call was about, but half an hour later, Ma Buping had a conflict with another prisoner and was strangled to death with a towel in the prison.
