Chapter 396: So, You Need to Pay More

At the entrance of an apartment.

“He… he lives here.”

The reporter said to the two bodyguards.

Chen Hui was cautious and didn’t live in his own properties. Instead, he rented an apartment.

The reporter and Chen Hui were college classmates, so that’s how the reporter knew where Chen Hui lived.

Knock, knock, knock…

Following a signal from the bodyguards, the reporter knocked on the door. The two bodyguards stepped aside to avoid being seen through the peephole.

“Who is it!”

In the living room, Chen Hui’s expression changed, and he didn’t rush to open the door.

“Chen Hui, open the door. It’s me!”

Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Hui still didn’t open the door immediately. First, he checked through the peephole.

After confirming the identity, Chen Hui calmed down and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Chen Hui froze and slowly raised his hands, stepping back continuously.

Because two guns were pointed at his head, making his face turn drastically pale.

After entering the living room, the reporter obediently closed the door.

“You sold me out!” Chen Hui gritted his teeth and snarled at the reporter.

The reporter looked embarrassed and said in a miserable tone, “Chen Hui, I… I had no choice, otherwise I would be dead.”

Better you die than me, right?

Chen Hui was furious, but at this moment, he was powerless.

“Sit down.”

One of the bodyguards said coldly, forcing Chen Hui to sit on the sofa.

On the coffee table, a laptop was being used to edit a post containing confidential production data from the Mei Corporation and slanderous remarks about Xu Shaochen.

Clearly, he was about to post it online to ruin Xu Shaochen’s reputation and bring down the Mei Corporation.

Regardless of the effectiveness of defaming Xu Shaochen, the Mei Corporation was definitely doomed.

“The boss said you jumped high. He wants me to help make your next half of life a bit more stable.”

One of the bodyguards said coldly to Chen Hui, while the other bodyguard deleted the unpublished post and smashed the laptop to pieces. The production data was also set on fire and burned.

Since he recognized Xu Shaochen’s name, destroying those items was the safest move.

“Don’t act recklessly. I want to see Xu Shaochen. Where is Xu Shaochen? I want to see him.”

Chen Hui said in a panic, looking at the bodyguards.

“Our boss didn’t come because you’re not qualified to meet him.”

As soon as the words fell, the bodyguard pointed his gun at Chen Hui’s right leg.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three shots in succession and Chen Hui fell to the ground.

“Ahhhhh!”

Chen Hui let out a piercing scream, rolling on the ground with sweat on his face.

“This is just a warning, otherwise next time it will be your head that gets blown off.”

One of the bodyguards threw this line coldly before turning around and leaving.

………………

First Hospital of Songshan.

“Second Young Master.”

The two tall white men stood respectfully by Zheng Nan’s bedside.

“I didn’t expect it to be you guys. Good, good, good. I’ll see how that Xu guy dies now!”

Zheng Nan said through clenched teeth, clearly excited by their arrival.

These two were his big brother’s bodyguards, known for deadly underground fighting in Mg Country. Their records were impressive.

“South Young Master, aren’t just two people insufficient?” Li Bao said cautiously, trying to get information to report back to Xu Shaochen.

Yeah, he was getting deeper into being a traitor.

Wait. How can this be called betrayal? This is called sensible allegiance.

Zheng Nan sneered at these words, showing a proud expression: “Nonsense! I wouldn’t be stupid enough to fight him head-on. We’ll just have a one-on-one duel instead.”

Li Bao didn’t respond because he didn’t think the idea was reliable.

What kind of position is Xu Shaochen in? Would he personally fight against your small-time bodyguards? What a joke, are these two brutes qualified?

“Send a challenge letter to Xu Shaochen, then post it online to create a buzz, exaggerating Xu Shaochen’s skills. When everyone knows about it, if he avoids it, how will he save face?”

Zheng Nan said coldly, his eyes flashing with a sinister glow.

Li Bao’s face changed. He never expected Zheng Nan to hatch such a rotten plan, no wonder he was so sure Xu Shaochen would accept.

Once the news spread online, wouldn’t not responding mean Xu Shaochen was afraid?

To be fair, Zheng Nan thought he had calculated well, but he didn’t know that Xu Shaochen’s skills were indeed impressive, capable of taking on multiple opponents at once.

It’s just that given his current status, he rarely engaged in fights.

………………

Pffft—

Xu Shaochen learned about the news from Li Bao while having a meal, causing him to burst into laughter and spray the drink in his mouth.

A duel with him?

Did Zheng Nan get his brain squeezed by a door? Didn’t he know to send someone to investigate in Jiangzhou? “Mr. Xu, don’t underestimate them. Zheng Nan hired those two foreigners who were reportedly former boxing champions.”

On the other end, Li Bao sounded anxious, worried Xu Shaochen might take them lightly.

“I know. Don’t worry about it.”

As Xu Shaochen finished speaking, he hung up, realizing he had to take care of them before returning to Jiangzhou.

“What’s wrong? You spat your drink all over my face!”

Mei Liangxin wiped his face with a napkin, grumbling with resentment.

“That fool Zheng Nan specially hired people from Hong Kong to avenge me, and he plans to do so through a duel.”

Xu Shaochen said to the three people.

The three of them exchanged a look, then unanimously held a moment of silence for Zheng Nan.

They were too familiar with Xu Shaochen’s combat abilities. He was simply a beast.

People vs. a beast? Good thing Xu Shaochen didn’t know their thoughts, otherwise, he would definitely let them know why flowers were so red.

“Chairman Xu, any plans for tonight?”

Zhang Wei asked, completely throwing Zheng Nan to the back of his mind.

With so many revenge methods available, why choose the most unlikely one? What’s the point?

Coming all the way from Hong Kong to Songshan, was it just to cross the ocean for a beating?

“I have a dinner date with Xiaoying for sushi.”

Xu Shaochen smiled slightly and said.

Mei Liang’s chopstick paused as he looked at Xu Shaochen and said, “You… don’t mess around. My sister is a respectable woman.”

“And I’m a respectable man. Big brother-in-law, how about you take photos of Xiaoying’s diary entries for me? I’ll give you a million as a thank you.”

Xu Shaochen said to Mei Liangxin, winking.

Mei Liangxin’s face changed, and he said coldly, “Xu Shaochen, do you know what you’re saying? She’s my dearest sister!”

“So what?” Xu Shaochen blinked.

Mei Liangxin chuckled, “So, you need to pay more. One million isn’t enough.”

Zhang Wei and Zhao Qing exchanged a glance. Damn, this was a disgraceful brother-in-law selling out his sister.
