Chapter 349: Are You Joking?

“Mr. Xu, you shouldn’t go. I’ll handle it.”

In the car, Zhao Qing looked at Xu Shaochen and said.

“Mei Liangxin took a bullet for me. I have to send Gu Weilong on his way.”

Xu Shaochen said through gritted teeth, his tone leaving no room for argument.

However, this time Zhao Qing didn’t obey. Instead, he continued to persuade him: “Mr. Xu, there are too many cameras in the City. Your identity isn’t suitable for such an occasion. I believe Mei Liangxin wouldn’t have wanted you to do this.”

Xu Shaochen paused, fell silent for a moment, then said, “Make sure it’s clean. Send my regards.”

Zhao Qing nodded, then looked at Long Yi and Long Er and said, “One of you stay with me. The other should take Mr. Xu home.”

In the end, Long Yi took Xu Shaochen home while Long Er accompanied Zhao Qing to confront Gu Weilong.

At the same moment Xu Shaochen arrived home, Gu Weilong received the news of Sanzi’s death.

He immediately panicked, but he was unwilling to give up everything and run away in disgrace. He picked up his phone and made a call.

After making the call, Gu Weilong went home, began packing his things, and hid in the basement.

He planned to wait for news from outside. If the person he called couldn’t convince Xu Shaochen to back down, he would have no choice but to flee to a foreign land.

……

“What’s going on? You look exhausted.”

Linda stood behind the sofa, massaging Xu Shaochen’s head, and asked with concern.

“It’s nothing.”

Xu Shaochen shook his head. There was no need to tell Linda about this.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“I’ll go get it.”

Linda said as she gracefully stepped over to open the door.

A middle-aged man in his forties walked in.

“Is Mr. Xu at home? I’m here to visit him.” The middle-aged man said, looking at Linda.

Linda gave him a suspicious look, then nodded: “Please, come in.”

“Who are you? What do you want with me?”

Xu Shaochen asked, looking at the middle-aged man.

“Mr. Xu, I’m Chen Guang. I’m currently the president of the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce. I hope you won’t mind my sudden visit.”

The middle-aged man, Chen Guang, smiled slightly and said.

Xu Shaochen frowned. Jiangzhou had a Chamber of Commerce? He couldn’t help but glance at Linda.

Linda nodded. Jiangzhou had always had a Chamber of Commerce, but its presence was quite low-key.

“President Chen, I’m very busy tonight. If it’s something important, say it quickly. If not, please leave.”

Xu Shaochen said coolly to Chen Guang. Tonight’s events had put him in a foul mood, and it was already difficult to speak calmly.

Chen Guang sat down and looked at Xu Shaochen, saying, “Mr. Xu, my visit today is directly related to tonight’s events. I hope you can show some mercy for my sake. Gu Weilong is willing to pay any price for this.”

Shuā! Xu Shaochen suddenly stared at Chen Guang, narrowing his eyes: “Are you joking? Get out before I lose my temper!”

“Mr. Xu, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I have a responsibility to maintain stability in Jiangzhou’s business community. I hope you won’t sabotage yourself.” Chen Guang’s face also darkened. Xu Shaochen’s attitude had made him furious.

“Are you threatening me?” Xu Shaochen asked.

Chen Guang laughed: “If Mr. Xu insists on seeing it that way, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Bang!

Suddenly, Xu Shaochen leapt up, grabbed an ashtray, and smashed it against Chen Guang’s face. Almost simultaneously, he grabbed Chen Guang by the hair and slammed his head onto the table, coldly saying: “I give you face by calling you President Chen. Without that, you’re not even worth a fart. Who gave you the guts to threaten me? You should look in the mirror to see if you’re worthy!”

“Let me tell you, Gu Weilong won’t survive the night. I, Xu Shaochen, said so. Even the King of Heaven can’t save him.”

“Threaten me? One word from Xu Shaochen can shake the entire Jiangzhou. What do you think you are, jumping around in front of me?”

“Xu, don’t be too arrogant! I’m not the only one backing me!” Chen Guang gritted his teeth, blood flowing down his forehead.

Xu Shaochen chuckled lightly, his tone turning chilly: “What’s the difference between a bag of trash and a pile of trash? If you’re not satisfied, I can play with you. Do you dare? Do you dare?”

With each question, Xu Shaochen’s gaze grew colder, his killing intent practically unmasked. Cold sweat dripped down Chen Guang’s back, and fear filled his heart.

“You’re not young anymore. Think before you speak and act. You should know your limits, or it wouldn’t be surprising if you got run over on the street one day, got it?”

Pa!

Xu Shaochen initially gave Chen Guang a light slap on the face, then suddenly delivered a hard slap across his face: “Damn, threatening me? Get lost!”

Chen Guang was knocked to the ground by the slap, painfully swallowing his saliva, and clutching his bleeding forehead as he scrambled out of Xu’s house.

“Really, any random cat or dog dares to bark in front of me now.”

Xu Shaochen said disdainfully as he sat back down on the sofa.

If Gu Weilong doesn’t die, how could he face Mei Liangxin?

“Alright, calm down. It’s not worth harming your body over a small fry.”

Linda stepped forward to continue massaging Xu Shaochen’s head. Although she didn’t know what had happened, based on Xu Shaochen’s reaction just now, she knew it wasn’t a small matter.

However, since Xu Shaochen didn’t want to talk about it, she didn’t press him and instead tried to help reduce his stress in her own way.

“Call the higher-ups. Seriously, how can someone like him be a president? Get him kicked out.”

Xu Shaochen said coldly.

Linda nodded, then picked up the phone to make a call.

……

After fleeing Xu’s house, Chen Guang quickly dialed Gu Weilong’s number.

“How did it go, Uncle Chen? What did he say?”

“He wants you dead. Better run while you still can.”

Chen Guang said before hanging up, then turned to look at Xu Shaochen’s villa, a hint of venom flashing in his eyes.

Damn it, better not fall into my hands, or I’ll make your life a living hell.

Of course, he knew the chances of that happening were slim. After all, he was well aware of Xu Shaochen’s status.

The only reason he dared to come today was that Gu Weilong’s money had swayed him, and because he had the backing of the Chamber of Commerce, he believed that even a powerful figure like Xu Shaochen would have to give him some face.

But in the end, he overestimated his own importance and underestimated Xu Shaochen’s temper.

“Ring, ring, ring…”

Suddenly, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, he frowned and then answered.

“Old Hu, what’s up?”

“Old Chen, I have some news. As of today, you’re no longer the president. A new election will be held to appoint a new one.”

“On… on what grounds?” Chen Guang was instantly flustered upon hearing this. Without this title, no one would take him seriously anymore.

“On what grounds? Why don’t you think about who you might’ve offended.”

“Beep~ beep~”

Hearing the disconnect tone from the phone, Chen Guang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and looked back at Xu Shaochen’s villa.
