Chapter 310: Just Say It Already
by xennovelMorning.
As usual, when Xu Shaochen came downstairs, Linda had already prepared breakfast.
Recently, Xu Shaochen had been slacking off. He used to wake up early to practice martial arts, but it had been several days since he last trained.
Partly because there were many things to do, and partly because he stayed up late, making it impossible to wake up early the next day. Even his body clock couldn’t stop him from sleeping in.
“Boss, when did you come back last night? I waited until 11 o’clock and didn’t see you.”
Linda looked at Xu Shaochen and asked.
“I don’t remember.” Xu Shaochen replied casually and then walked to the dining table and sat down.
“Ding ding ding…”
Barely after sitting down, his phone rang.
Caller ID: Mei Liangxin.
What is this guy calling me for so early in the morning?
“Hello? What’s up?” Xu Shaochen asked lazily while eating the egg Linda had peeled for him.
If you never slack off, you’ll never realize how satisfying it can be.
“I’m going back to Songshan!”
“Uh-huh… cough cough…”
Mei Liangxin’s words nearly made Xu Shaochen choke on his egg. He quickly took a sip of milk to calm himself and asked, “Are you crazy? Going back to Songshan now? Are you in that much of a hurry to throw yourself into harm’s way?”
“I…”
“Forget it, stop talking. Where are you now? I’ll come find you.”
Before Mei Liangxin could finish speaking, Xu Shaochen interrupted him. He then waved at Linda before heading out the door.
Something must have happened. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be rushing back to die.
“I’m at home, Building 3, Unit 1, Apartment 504 in Fandou Community.”
“Wait for me.”
After saying that, Xu Shaochen hung up the phone and went to knock on Long Yi and Long Er’s door.
“Boss, want some breakfast?”
After opening the door and seeing it was Xu Shaochen, Long Er immediately invited him in.
“Forget about eating. Long Yi and Long Er, come with me.”
It’s too dangerous to drive myself, better let someone with good skills handle it.
The Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini had been sent back to the factory for repairs, so all that was left at home were two Audis, other than Linda’s car.
Long Er’s driving skills were top-notch. What would normally take over half an hour was done in 20 minutes.
Of course, the price paid was getting caught on several traffic cameras.
He had the two wait downstairs while Xu Shaochen went up alone.
“Knock knock knock…”
Standing at the door, Xu Shaochen knocked.
“Click—”
After a moment, the door opened, and Mei Liangxin, fully dressed, appeared.
“What’s going on?”
Xu Shaochen entered the living room, glancing around at the interior decorations. After all, this was the house Mei Liangxin had taken a 30-year loan to buy. It had to be worth seeing.
In the middle of the living room was a suitcase, indicating that this guy had already packed his things.
“The Mei Family sent someone over overnight. I just met him this morning. He said if I don’t go back, that old bastard will marry Xiaoying off.”
Mei Liangxin gritted his teeth as he spoke. The “old bastard” he was referring to was, of course, his own father, who was worse than a stranger.
Of course, to Mei Liangxin, he had never regarded Mei Tianqing as his father, just as Mei Tianqing had never treated him as a son.
Xu Shaochen really couldn’t understand what kind of grudge or hatred Mei Liangxin’s father had to bring him to this point.
“Who’s Xiaoying, your girlfriend?” Xu Shaochen asked. Otherwise, why would Mei Liangxin be so anxious?
Mei Liangxin shook his head: “She’s my sister. She’s the only one in the Mei Family who’s close with me. I won’t allow her marriage to be decided so hastily.”
“That may not be the case. From what you’ve said, your dad only dislikes you, not your sister,” Xu Shaochen said.
Mei Liangxin sneered, “My sister can’t compare to my big brother in his eyes. To be honest, I’d rather she marry you than marry the guy my father chose. Even though you’re promiscuous, arrogant, and love to flirt with death…”
“Stop stop stop! That’s enough. Just get to the point already,” Xu Shaochen interrupted with a dark face.
Mei Liangxin nodded, “But you’re still better than those beasts.”
“Get lost!” Xu Shaochen scolded angrily. Just listen to him—does that sound like something a human would say?
“I’m not joking. I really have to go back to Songshan. You should stay out of it. In the future, just burn some paper for me during the holidays. Remember to burn some beautiful women too.”
Mei Liangxin looked at Xu Shaochen, and as he spoke, he moved to grab his suitcase.
“Why are you in such a rush? Even if they’ve decided to marry your sister off, it’s not going to happen overnight. Where’s the guy? The one from the Mei Family?”
Xu Shaochen stopped him. It was clear that Mei Liangxin was truly panicked and really cared about his sister.
“He went to the Hospital to visit Mei Liangyu, that idiot. And then he’s going to the police station to bail out Liao Jie and his guys,” Mei Liangxin said casually.
“Then I’m just going to make sure things don’t go as they planned. Let’s head to the police station too.”
Xu Shaochen sneered. Gathering people for a gang fight is a criminal offense, and Xu Shaochen wanted them to be hit with the maximum sentence.
………
Once they arrived at the police station, Xu Shaochen went straight to the Police Chief’s office.
“Director Chen, to be frank, I have a useless relative who got seriously injured in this fight. I demand a heavy sentence for the culprits. We must crack down on these lawless thugs!”
In the Office, Xu Shaochen slammed his hand on the desk, expressing his anger.
Mei Liangxin watched expressionlessly as Xu Shaochen performed. His acting was impeccable and his emotions convincingly portrayed. He could easily become the next film star.
“Mr. Xu, rest assured. We’ll make sure justice is served. We will gather all the evidence and show these culprits that justice will be done. With the current crackdown on organized crime, they’ll never escape punishment!”
The impact of Liao Jie’s gang fight on Jiangzhou was extremely negative. Coupled with Xu Shaochen’s words, a heavy sentence was inevitable.
“Knock knock knock…”
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
A junior officer walked in and said, “Director Chen, there’s someone here from Songshan who wishes to see you. He says it’s about the gang fight case.”
“This…” Director Chen looked at Xu Shaochen, feeling a bit conflicted.
Xu Shaochen smiled and said, “It’s fine. Don’t mind me.”
“Let them in,” Director Chen said.
Soon, a young man in a suit entered. He had a smile that seemed as warm as a spring breeze. He kept a low profile, knowing that Jiangzhou was not Songshan, where the Mei Family had little influence.
But when he saw Mei Liangxin, the smile on his face instantly froze and slowly disappeared, replaced by a look of shock.
Seeing the playful smile on Mei Liangxin’s face, the young man suddenly had a bad feeling.
