Chapter 403: Zheng Bei’s Killing Intent

Zheng Tai couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

That disobedient son is dead?

How could it be? Over the years, many people have died at the hands of that unfilial son. How could he be dead?”
“Dad, Ah Nan…” Zheng Bei recounted what Tom had told him.

“Smack!”

After hearing everything, Zheng Tai stood up and slapped Zheng Bei hard across the face. Grinding his teeth, he said, “He called you to ask for help, and you didn’t inform me? You’re responsible for his death!”

Even though he disliked that delinquent son, he was still his son. After raising him for so many years, how could he accept his sudden death?

“Yes, I’m responsible.” Zheng Bei didn’t argue because he knew he couldn’t shirk the blame.

For all these years, he had spoiled Zheng Nan.

Zheng Nan killed people, committed rape, crashed cars, and caused deaths. For the thrill, he even robbed and beat people, leaving them disabled.

No matter what atrocious acts Zheng Nan committed, Zheng Bei always found a way to cover them up, resorting to any means necessary. This is why Zheng Nan became so lawless.

This time, it was precisely this attitude that cost him his life.

Seeing Zheng Bei’s current state, even Zheng Tai couldn’t continue his anger. “What do you plan to do?”

“I’m going to avenge Ah Nan,” Zheng Bei said without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Zheng Tai’s face. “Avenge him? Are you looking to die too? Do you even realize how strict the law is in the mainland? The fact that they could do something like this shows that their background is unfathomable. What can you do to get revenge?”

“Dad, I have my own methods.”

Zheng Bei said decisively because, if he recalled correctly, there was still someone in Hong Kong who was an enemy of Xu Shaochen.

That person came from the mainland, knew the mainland better, and also knew Xu Shaochen very well. With his help, the difficulty of getting revenge should be greatly reduced.

“Go ahead, but I don’t want to lose my last son as well,” Zheng Tai waved his hand.

Zheng Bei nodded firmly: “Dad, don’t worry. I will survive and use Xu Shaochen’s ashes to commemorate Ah Nan.”

“Dad, take care of yourself. Don’t be too sad.”

With that said, Zheng Bei turned and left the office, pulling out his phone as he walked.

“Hello, is this Mr. Zhou? It’s Zheng Bei of the Zheng Family. I’d like to talk to you about Xu Shaochen… Hmm, alright, see you later.”

………

Xu Shaochen had no idea what was happening in Hong Kong.

At the moment, he was at a hotel, playing a card game with Huang Wenqiang and Tang Siyu.

“Zheng Nan is dead.”

Huang Wenqiang casually played a card, saying it just as indifferently.

“How did he die?” Xu Shaochen asked in confusion.

With a mocking look, Huang Wenqiang replied, “Blown up. Within half an hour of his death, someone went to the police station and turned themselves in.”

“The culprit has quite a conscience. Seems like Zheng Nan must have done something truly terrible,” Xu Shaochen said casually, playing a card to overtake his opponent’s.

Seeing Xu Shaochen’s unconcerned attitude, Huang Wenqiang grit his teeth in frustration, saying, “Do you even realize how the events in Songshan that occurred over the past few days could affect my father’s political career? This will give others something to attack him with!”

Huang Wenqiang genuinely wanted to beat Xu Shaochen. The higher his father’s position, the better his own future would be.

But Xu Shaochen constantly caused trouble, and the public security situation in Songshan had already drawn criticism from higher authorities.

“Zheng Nan wanted to kill me,” Xu Shaochen replied.

Huang Wenqiang fell silent. What could he say to that?

Seeing this, Tang Siyu quickly changed the topic: “A friend of mine just opened a new bar. It’s having a grand opening tonight. Want to go have some fun?”

“Where do you get so many friends? They’re either opening bars, restaurants, or clubs,” Huang Wenqiang looked at Tang Siyu curiously.

Tang Siyu rolled his eyes, “None of your business. ‘All within the four seas are brothers,’ so what’s wrong with having a few extra friends?”

“The more money you have, the more friends you’ll have,” Xu Shaochen said calmly.

Tang Siyu nodded in agreement, looking at Huang Wenqiang and adding, “That’s exactly how I got my friends.”

Huang Wenqiang: “…”

He felt that spending too much time with Tang Siyu had filled him with the stench of money.

He also ran businesses, but his scale wasn’t large. Due to his father’s special position, if he expanded too much, it would give others something to target his father with.

Of course, although his business wasn’t large, it certainly wasn’t small. After all, in Songshan, his business was flourishing, and he was definitely not losing money.

The reason he went into business was that he didn’t want anyone in his politically involved family to make economic mistakes.

“Alright, let’s go liven up your friend’s place tonight.” Xu Shaochen nodded. He hadn’t been to a bar in a long time, so it was a good opportunity to relax.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

There was a sound of knocking at the door. Xu Shaochen gave his bodyguard a look, and the bodyguard opened the door.

Seeing this, Huang Wenqiang commented, “Damned capitalism. Aren’t you tired of being surrounded by so many bodyguards all day?”

“What can I do? Zheng Nan is a perfect example of what can happen. I have to take responsibility for my own safety.”

Xu Shaochen sighed helplessly. In Jiangzhou, he felt a little safer.

But when he was out, he wouldn’t even step outside without his bodyguards. It was too dangerous.

“Damn! Xu Shaochen, can’t you slow down a bit? Why did you have to beat the opponent so quickly?”

Mei Liangxin and the other two stormed in with grievances, glaring at Xu Shaochen.

The three of them had just carried drinks to the stadium, only to lug them back to the supermarket like fools.

The worst part was that when they tried to return the drinks, they were fined because the shopkeeper thought they were playing him, so he got really angry.

“To be honest, they were just too weak. I didn’t even use much effort before they collapsed.”

Xu Shaochen was also helpless. He wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength wouldn’t allow it.

“What happened to them? Did they just return from some heavy labor?”

Huang Wenqiang and Tang Siyu exchanged glances, seeing the three of them covered in sweat.

“Pretty much, they were carrying things around.” Xu Shaochen explained what those three troublemakers had done.

“Hahaha…”

Huang Wenqiang and Tang Siyu laughed shamelessly, pounding the table as they laughed.

“Are you guys short on money?” Tang Siyu asked. He couldn’t understand why they did it when they weren’t short of money.

Mei Liangxin gave him a disdainful look and, in a serious tone, said, “You youngsters have never been poor. You don’t know what life was like for us back then. Besides, this money was practically free, so why not take it?”

“Yeah, back in the day, someone didn’t even have money for a train ticket,” Xu Shaochen said leisurely.

Mei Liangxin’s face darkened immediately, and he quickly denied, “You’re making that up! It wasn’t me! I didn’t do it!”
