Chapter 48: Is Your Hand Okay?

Yellow Hair laughed arrogantly.

He laughed brazenly.

“Really? Then I’ll wait.”

Xu Shaochen released Yellow Hair, grabbed a chair, sat back down, and continued eating as if nothing had happened.

He was waiting.

Since it was trouble, it had to be resolved at the root. Otherwise, it would keep coming back, becoming more annoying each time.

Mei Liangxin was stunned. A calm face amid chaos—this was the legendary aura of a big boss?

You had to follow in the footsteps of the big boss to keep up with the pace of earning money.

So, Mei Liangxin also sat back down, directly ignoring Yellow Hair and his three companions.

“Kid, let me tell you, you won’t be arrogant for long. Boss Meng is coming soon. You’re dead meat even if the King of the Underworld came; no one can save you!”

Yellow Hair got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and glared at Xu Shaochen with bloodshot eyes.

“Bang!”

Before he finished speaking, a plate of barbecue flew into his face.

“Right now, if you don’t have my permission to speak, shut up and quietly wait. Okay?”

Xu Shaochen said to Yellow Hair with a calm expression.

Yellow Hair wiped the grease off his face and glared at Xu Shaochen, but in the end, he didn’t dare to say a word.

Damn it! Let him be arrogant for now. When Boss Meng comes, he won’t even know how he died.

“Oh, and pick up the plate.” Xu Shaochen suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Yellow Hair.

Hiss—

Everyone gasped. This was true arrogance at its peak; humiliating someone to the core.

“You…” Yellow Hair was burning with rage. This was absolute, blatant humiliation. But he could only endure it, bending over to pick up the plate that had just been thrown at his face and placing it back on the table.

“Slap! Slap!”

Xu Shaochen tapped the plate against Yellow Hair’s face, smiled faintly, and said, “That’s better. Don’t even bother looking in the mirror. Even your master wouldn’t dare mess with me, and you, a mere dog, think you’re something?”

Yellow Hair clenched his fists so tightly, it seemed his teeth would shatter. But still, he didn’t dare speak.

In his heart, he vowed that once Boss Meng got here, he’d return this humiliation to Xu Shaochen tenfold, a hundredfold, grinding him into the ground.

Xu Shaochen and Mei Liangxin continued eating their barbecue as if nobody else existed. The two of them occasionally exchanged a few words, seemingly oblivious to everything around them.

“Vroom… Vroom… Vroom…”

The sound of an engine roar broke the silence.

Everyone instinctively moved aside to make way.

A white BMW slowly approached and then stopped not far away.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in sportswear, with a cast on his right hand, got out.

“Boss Meng, finally you’re here… Is your hand okay?”

As soon as they saw the middle-aged man, Yellow Hair and his three companions rushed up. But seeing the cast on Boss Meng’s right hand, Yellow Hair’s face changed.

“It’s nothing. I sparred with an expert and lost by a small margin. But to deal with a few small fry, my left hand is more than enough.”

Wang Meng waved his hand confidently and said to Yellow Hair, “Speak up. Who dared to mess with my people? They must have a death wish.”

“It’s Wang Meng! That’s Wang Meng!”

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, and the place instantly erupted.

“Is that Wang Meng, the underground fight king? Hiss— if it’s really him, this situation might be hard to resolve.”

“Those two kids are in deep trouble now. Of all people, they’ve gone and messed with Wang Meng.”

“Yeah, rumor has it that this Meng guy has killed people in underground fights.”

Everyone whispered among themselves. They knew all about Wang Meng’s reputation and exploits and couldn’t help but feel sorry for Xu Shaochen and Mei Liangxin.

Mei Liangxin’s face also changed slightly. He raised his head to look at Xu Shaochen, only to find Xu Shaochen calmly sipping his drink as if nothing had happened.

He was dumbfounded for a moment, then shook his head. If the person directly involved wasn’t worried, why should he be?

So, he buried his head and continued eating.

“Boss Meng, it’s him, that’s the guy! I want to tear him limb from limb!” Yellow Hair pointed at Xu Shaochen and roared, filled with bone-deep hatred.

Wang Meng looked at Xu Shaochen, and his face instantly changed. He never expected that of all people, Yellow Hair would provoke Xu Shaochen.

He still couldn’t forget how, this very morning in the park, Xu Shaochen had broken his right hand with one kick. And that had been when Xu Shaochen was holding back.

But Yellow Hair hadn’t noticed Wang Meng’s change in expression. He was still lost in the excitement of soon getting revenge. He looked at Xu Shaochen and said, “Kid, you think you’re tough? If you’re smart, kneel down and offer kowtow. Maybe I, your grandpa, might just show mercy and spare your life. Otherwise…”

“Slap!”

Before he could finish, Wang Meng slapped him across the face, angrily shouting, “Shut up! How dare you!”

Everyone was stunned, unable to understand what was happening.

“Boss Meng, why… why did you hit me?” Yellow Hair looked pitifully at Wang Meng, clutching his face.

Wang Meng ignored him and quickly walked over to Xu Shaochen. Bowing deeply, he said respectfully, “I failed to manage my subordinates well, which led to a conflict with you, sir. I sincerely apologize and hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against them. I will personally make it up to you. Please show mercy!”

“Wow!”

Seeing this, the whole crowd erupted. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at Xu Shaochen.

What had they just witnessed? The infamous underground fight king, Wang Meng, actually lowered himself to beg forgiveness from Xu Shaochen for his subordinates, and he did it so respectfully.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed it.

Mei Liangxin was also dumbfounded, staring at Xu Shaochen. The chicken wing in his mouth fell to the ground. He felt like he had hitched himself to a remarkable tree.

“How… how is this possible? Just who is he?”

“Yeah, that’s Wang Meng! Wang Meng actually bowed to him.”

Everyone was in disbelief, as if their entire worldview had just been turned upside down.

Yellow Hair couldn’t believe it either. But then, catching sight of the cast on Wang Meng’s hand, he thought of something. His face instantly turned pale, and he stared at Xu Shaochen, breaking out in a cold sweat.

It couldn’t be. It couldn’t be him. It was impossible for it to be him. How could it be such a coincidence?

“Is your hand okay?” Xu Shaochen put down his drink, looking at Wang Meng with a serene expression.

With just that one sentence, Yellow Hair’s last hope was shattered. His guess had been spot on.

It was Xu Shaochen who broke Wang Meng’s hand.

And now, he realized that offending someone like Xu Shaochen was a death wish.
