Chapter 388: It Was Just a Joke

“Did your master call you to return home?”

Xu Shaochen looked at Jiang Yaohai and said casually, a hint of mockery in his expression.

Swoosh! Jiang Yaohai suddenly turned his gaze to Xu Shaochen: “It’s you?”

“Yes, it’s me. I told you, you are just a dog and not worthy of fighting me. So there’s no need for me to bicker with a dog like you. I went straight to your master.”

Xu Shaochen smiled slightly, speaking in a calm tone.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yaohai was furious, his heart filled with anger and resentment, fists clenched tightly, yet he was helpless.

Because his status was never equal to Xu Shaochen’s. All his glory these years came from Sheng Qin. Without Sheng Qin, he was nothing.

“I’m just here to tell you that if you’re a dog, you should have the awareness of being a dog. Your master doesn’t even dare to shout at me, so where did you get the courage to bark at me?”

“An unruly dog can easily become a dead dog, remember that?”

Xu Shaochen walked step by step to Jiang Yaohai, reached out and patted his face, smiling as he spoke.

“You won’t have smooth sailing all your life.”

Jiang Yaohai said through gritted teeth, filled with hatred for Xu Shaochen, wishing to kill him.

“You’re right, I can’t have smooth sailing all my life. Life has its ups and downs.” Xu Shaochen nodded, paused for a moment, then continued, “But you forgot one thing: even if I fall on hard times, my status is still better than that of ordinary people, and certainly better than that of a dog like you.”

After finishing his words, Xu Shaochen provocatively blew air at him and then laughed heartily.

Tang Siyu and Huang Wenqiang exchanged glances. Even they, not to mention Jiang Yaohai, couldn’t help but want to beat Xu Shaochen up.

He was too arrogant. They had never seen anyone as arrogant as Xu Shaochen in Songshan.

They could feel the disdain Xu Shaochen showed from the bottom of his heart when he mocked someone.

Jiang Yaohai’s teeth ground loudly as he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart because he feared he might lose control and act against Xu Shaochen.

“Want to hit me? Come on, hit me, hit me!”

Seeing this, Xu Shaochen sneered disdainfully, stretching his face out and looking at Jiang Yaohai mockingly.

Jiang Yaohai gritted his teeth and remained silent, staring at Xu Shaochen.

“Slap!”

In the next moment, Xu Shaochen slapped Jiang Yaohai’s face with a backhanded smack, the crisp sound causing everyone’s hearts to tremble.

“I offered you the chance, but you’re useless even when given a chance.”

As he finished speaking, Xu Shaochen suddenly grabbed Jiang Yaohai’s hair and pulled it down, speaking slowly by his ear, “Do you know what you did wrong? You shouldn’t have threatened me last night. I’m someone who hates being threatened. When I’m unhappy, I want to get rid of whoever threatens me.”

Jiang Yaohai suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, a look of terror in his eyes. Without the support of Sheng Qin Group, Xu Shaochen could easily get rid of him.

“Hahahaha, look how scared you are. Alright, it was just a joke.”

Xu Shaochen released him, wiped his hands on his clothes, and smiled lightly.

As his nerves relaxed, Jiang Yaohai felt like he was about to collapse. He vowed never to deal with Xu Shaochen again in his life.

Xu Shaochen shrugged and spared him, his gaze falling on Si Mingfei.

Si Mingfei’s expression changed suddenly, instinctively taking a step back.

“I know you wanted to kidnap me the night before last. According to the confession, there’s a person among Lei Laohu’s subordinates whom you sent. They said you wanted to kill me.”

Xu Shaochen looked at him, his tone calm, neither happy nor sad, but with each word his eyes grew colder.

This is what Huang Wenqiang told him earlier in the car; if he had really been kidnapped that night, it would have been a life-threatening situation.

Si Mingfei turned out to be a ruthless character; for such a small matter, he actually wanted to kill someone.

After Xu Shaochen finished speaking, Si Nancheng and his wife, along with Jiang Yaohai, were shocked and incredulously watched Si Mingfei.

“You… you are fabricating lies, you are trying to frame me!”

Si Mingfei hurriedly denied it because the difference between a kidnapping charge and a murder charge was too vast.

“Frame you? You overestimate yourself. Killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant; why would I bother framing you?”

Xu Shaochen shook his head, speaking disdainfully.

As he finished his words, Xu Shaochen was already one step away from Si Mingfei, speaking word by word, “I swear on your mother’s name, you won’t survive a week in prison. Do you believe me?”

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Si Mingfei pulled a gun from behind and aimed it at Xu Shaochen.

“Boss!”

“Young Master Xu.”

“Mingfei!”

Seeing this, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically. No one expected that Si Mingfei would have a gun at home.

Long Yi and Long Er immediately stepped forward with guns aimed at Si Mingfei.

“Don’t push me. Do you believe I’ll shoot you?” Si Mingfei said through gritted teeth, the gun shaking in his hand.

Xu Shaochen waved his hand, telling Long Yi and Long Er to put their guns away, his face calm.

Having faced many dangers, Xu Shaochen now remained unfazed at the critical moment, without the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

“Come on, if you have the guts, just shoot me. If I die, your whole family will accompany me in death. Do you believe it?”

Xu Shaochen spoke calmly to Si Mingfei, as if the gun wasn’t even aimed at him.

“Don’t push me. Don’t think I really won’t shoot,” Si Mingfei threatened menacingly, but despite holding the gun, he kept retreating.

“Shoot! I dare you to shoot!”

Xu Shaochen continued to press forward. Si Mingfei’s face turned ashen, sweating profusely, retreating continuously, the hand holding the gun shaking uncontrollably.

He had ordered killings before, but he had never done it himself.

“Don’t push me! Don’t force me!”

“What if I do? Have the guts to shoot? No, right? Then let me tell you, I dare!”

Xu Shaochen finished speaking and swiftly took the gun from Si Mingfei’s hand, firing emotionlessly at one of his legs.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and a cloud of blood erupted from Si Mingfei’s thigh.

“Ah!”

With a wretched scream, Si Mingfei fell to the ground in pain, continuously howling.

“Mingfei!”

Si Nancheng and his wife were panicked, rushing over.

Tang Siyu and Huang Wenqiang watched in shock, swallowing hard and wiping sweat from their foreheads.

They just realized today what ‘dominance’ means, what ‘arrogance’ is, and what ‘doing whatever one wants’ entails.

The so-called big shots in Songshan are no match for Young Master Xu.
