Chapter Index

    After giving Zhao Qing another warning to watch his boundaries,

    Xu Shaochen left and made a call to the Company to arrange a meeting with Yun Changsheng.

    He believed that when Yun Changsheng saw him, his expression would be quite interesting.

    Xu Shaochen was already somewhat impatient.

    Do you think this is just for fun? No, no, no. He simply enjoyed grinding those self-important fools under his feet.

    Letting them know that in front of him, their pride was meaningless, and their smugness would only invite ridicule.

    After finishing this call, Xu Shaochen dialed Ye Yang’s number.

    “Young Master Ye, where are you?”

    Compared to Yun Changsheng, Xu Shaochen found that he preferred Ye Yang.

    Because Ye Yang lacked that damned arrogance. On the contrary, he could actually bring Xu Shaochen some benefits.

    “I’m out for a run.”

    Ye Yang’s breathless voice came through the phone, but Xu Shaochen could also hear a woman’s panting.

    “Young Master Ye, you’re quite enthusiastic, even taking a beauty along for a run. Sounds like you’re running pretty fast, considering how out of breath you are.”

    Xu Shaochen said playfully. Being experienced, he naturally knew what those sounds meant.

    “Get to the point. I’m busy.”

    “Would you be interested in having a cup of coffee with your Big Brother and watching him put on a Sichuan face-changing opera?” Xu Shaochen casually replied. From Ye Yang’s voice, he could tell he was a bit drained.

    “Face-changing? What do you mean?”

    “You’ll see when you get there. Where are you? I’ll pick you up.”

    “Jiangzhou Grand Hotel, Room 002.”

    After giving Xu Shaochen the location, Ye Yang hung up, clearly intending to finish up before Xu Shaochen arrived.

    “Head to the Jiangzhou Grand Hotel. Drive faster.”

    After getting in the car, Xu Shaochen instructed Long Er.

    Since resolving the Zhou Family issues, Long Yi and the others had resumed their two-on-two shifts.

    The Old City wasn’t far from Jiangzhou Hotel, and given Xu Shaochen’s order, they arrived at their destination within minutes.

    Upon reaching Ye Yang’s room, Xu Shaochen told Long Yi and Long Er a couple of things before stepping aside with a mischievous grin.

    Long Yi and Long Er were speechless. The fact that Xu Shaochen could stoop to such antics was… impressive.

    The two rolled up their sleeves, then started pounding on the door, shouting as they did.

    “Open up, police! Routine check!”

    “People inside, listen up. If you don’t open the door soon, we’ll take forceful measures!”

    A minute or two later, the door opened. Ye Yang was standing there with just a towel wrapped around him. Looking at Long Yi and Long Er, he asked, “Officers, what’s this about?”

    Last night, Xu Shaochen had Long San and Long Si with him, so Ye Yang didn’t recognize Long Yi or Long Er.

    Moreover, with their professional demeanor and their ability to smoothly enter a five-star hotel, Ye Yang instinctively believed they were real police.

    To be honest, his guilt played a huge factor since the woman inside was indeed an escort he’d hired overnight.

    “We’re from the anti-vice squad. Someone reported you for engaging in solicitation. Please step aside and let us conduct an inspection.”

    Long Yi quickly flashed his wallet in front of Ye Yang, maintaining a stern expression as he spoke.

    As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them began walking into the room.

    “Wait! Wait! Officers, wait! Here’s a little something, why don’t you take it and have a cup of tea…” Ye Yang’s face changed as he hurriedly blocked them, grabbing his wallet from the nearby table and pulling out some cash.

    This wasn’t a serious crime, but if word got out, it would be embarrassing for him, Ye Er Shao.

    In his mind, Ye Yang cursed the person who reported him and their ancestors, thoroughly. Who the hell was so bored they’d do something like this? The kind of person who curses their own children!

    “Congratulations, now you’re also guilty of bribing a police officer!” Long Er said coldly, glaring at Ye Yang.

    Ye Yang: “…”

    “Big Brothers, please, cut me some slack. It’s my first time, can we work something out?”

    Ye Yang had no choice but to start pleading. After all, this was Jiangzhou, not Yijing. If something happened here, no one would cover for him.

    “Step aside. If you don’t move, we’ll charge you with obstructing police work.”

    Long Yi was starting to get into character, speaking with perfect official tone.

    “Wait, let me make a call. I know Xu Shaochen. Have you heard of him? Mr. Xu. Your boss must know him. We’re friends, we’ve risked our lives together.”

    Ye Yang thought of Xu Shaochen. Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was better to ask him for help than for his Big Brother to find out. That would only cause more trouble once they got back to Yijing.

    Even though his reputation wasn’t great to begin with, he wasn’t entirely shameless.

    “Young Master Ye, since when did you and I risk our lives together? I really can’t live up to that.”

    Xu Shaochen walked into the room with a playful smile, fully satisfied with his evil amusement.

    “Boss.”

    Long Yi and Long Er called out, then respectfully stood behind Xu Shaochen.

    “This… What the hell, are you kidding me!”

    Seeing this scene, how could Ye Yang not realize he had been tricked? His face turned green with anger.

    He had made a fool of himself earlier, and Xu Shaochen had probably seen it all. He was humiliated beyond belief.

    “Hahaha, just kidding, Young Master Ye. Get ready, it’s time to go. Don’t keep your Big Brother waiting too long.”

    Xu Shaochen laughed and defused the situation, to avoid further embarrassing Ye Yang.

    Ye Yang pointed at Xu Shaochen, his face as dark as coal, then turned to get dressed.

    Over ten minutes later, Ye Yang finished cleaning up and left the hotel with Xu Shaochen.

    The meeting place with Yun Changsheng was a café, a quiet place perfect for a discussion.

    The two entered the café and immediately spotted Yun Changsheng in a corner. They walked over to him.

    Yun Changsheng was looking down at his phone when he suddenly noticed the light in front of him dimming. He looked up and saw none other than Xu Shaochen and Ye Yang.

    “What are you two doing here? If there’s anything you need, talk to me later. I’m in the middle of business. I don’t have time for your nonsense.”

    Yun Changsheng frowned and rudely began shooing them away.

    Xu Shaochen and Ye Yang didn’t respond. They just smiled and sat down across from Yun Changsheng.

    Ye Yang had been briefed on the situation earlier, so he was already filled with anticipation, eagerly waiting to see his Big Brother get schooled.

    “Ye Yang, do you not understand plain language? I’ve set up a business meeting, and if something goes wrong, it’s your fault!”

    Seeing the two sit down instead of leaving, Yun Changsheng grew more annoyed.

    Xu Shaochen smiled calmly, ordered two coffees, and then looked at Yun Changsheng, speaking in a tranquil tone: “Mr. Yun, if I’m not mistaken, the person you’re waiting for has the surname Xu, correct?”
