Chapter Index

    Repulse Bay Villa Area.

    By the time Huo Yaogong was brought here,

    He realized that it wasn’t just him—several upper management members who held shares in the company were also here.

    Everyone appeared extremely nervous because this kind of invitation was anything but friendly.

    “Now I’ll take you to meet my boss. Don’t say anything careless, or you’ll regret it.”

    Long Er, who had walked from the golf course to the living room, looked at them and gave a warning. He then led the group back to the golf course.

    Following closely behind Long Er, the group walked on with trepidation.

    When they reached the golf course, they saw Xu Shaochen and Lin Wanxue intimately leaning on each other. Xu Shaochen held Lin Wanxue from behind, guiding her hand as the two shared a golf club.

    “Miss Lin, what is the meaning of this?”

    “What do you intend to do by bringing us here in such a manner?”

    “Miss Lin, you must give us an explanation.”

    Seeing someone they knew, the previously anxious group suddenly found their courage, demanding explanations from Lin Wanxue.

    “Make them shut up. They’re disturbing my game.”

    Xu Shaochen remarked without even turning his head.

    “Smack!”

    In an instant, Long Er and several bodyguards rushed forward, punching and kicking the upper management, slapping them relentlessly.

    “Ah! Stop it! Stop it!”

    “Miss Lin, please make them stop…”

    The previously enraged group immediately crouched down pleading for mercy, their arrogance gone within moments.

    “Shh! Keep it down; you’re disturbing me again.”

    “If I can’t get this ball in, I’ll treat your heads as golf balls.”

    Xu Shaochen turned to look at the few people wailing on the ground, smiling slightly and spoke in a gentle tone.

    As his words hung in the air, the group under assault dared not scream. Instead, they stifled their cries, bitterly swallowing their pain, and stared intently at the white golf ball.

    “Bang!”

    Xu Shaochen guided Lin Wanxue’s hand to swing the club, sending the white golf ball flying straight into the hole.

    “Phew—”

    The senior staff members from Lin Corporation all let out a collective sigh of relief.

    “It seems your luck isn’t so bad.”

    Xu Shaochen smiled softly, released Lin Wanxue, and walked toward the kneeling group, looking down at them from above.

    “I called you here because there’s something I want to discuss. Wanxue is my woman. She wants to become the Chairwoman of Lin Corporation. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

    As Xu Shaochen’s words echoed, everyone’s expressions changed. They exchanged uneasy glances.

    “You want us to support her? Dream on! If you’ve got the guts, kill me! Otherwise, I’ll never let you have your way!”

    “Don’t think I don’t know it was you who framed the Eldest Young Master! Expect me to support her? Ha!”

    A middle-aged man in a gray suit stood up, pointing a finger at Xu Shaochen’s nose and accusing him loudly. In his rage, he even spat on Xu Shaochen’s shoes.

    “You’re something else, aren’t you?”

    Seeing the spit on his shoe, Xu Shaochen’s expression darkened. He waved his hand to the side.

    Long Er handed him a golf club.

    “Bang!”

    Without hesitation, Xu Shaochen swung the club directly at the middle-aged man.

    “Ah!”

    A painful scream erupted as blood flowed from the man’s head, and his body crashed heavily onto the ground.

    Everyone around him was startled, cold sweat streaming down their faces like rain.

    “Spit at me?”

    Xu Shaochen stepped on the man’s body, expressionless as he repeatedly swung the club down onto him. The man soon ceased to stop screaming.

    “Stop… Stop hitting me, Mr. Xu! I’ll support Miss Lin, I swear I will!”

    The man in the gray suit couldn’t hold out any longer. He shielded his head with his arms, pleading desperately while frantically wiping Xu Shaochen’s shoe clean with his sleeve.

    “Clang.”

    Xu Shaochen sneered, discarding the club onto the ground before accepting a handkerchief from Long Er to wipe his hands. He then threw the handkerchief onto the middle-aged man’s face.

    “I thought you had a backbone. Turns out you’re just as mediocre as the rest. I dare to kill; do you dare to die?”

    “I was wrong, Mr. Xu! I was wrong! I’ll support Miss Lin, I swear I will!”

    The middle-aged man trembled, immediately kneeling before Xu Shaochen, crying and begging for forgiveness.

    “And the rest of you?”

    Xu Shaochen swept his gaze across the others’ faces.

    “We… We’re willing. We’re willing to support Miss Lin as the head of Lin Corporation.”

    The remaining individuals exchanged glances before quickly stating their stance. Regardless of their thoughts, they knew they needed to deal with the situation at hand first.

    “Good. He who knows how to adapt to the circumstances is wise. I like dealing with smart people like you.”

    Xu Shaochen smiled lightly and waved his hand.

    Soon, several bodyguards brought out a group of boxes and opened them, revealing stacks of cash in front of the group.

    “I know money isn’t an issue for you, but consider this a token of my appreciation, a small compensation for the inconvenience of coming here today.”

    Xu Shaochen said casually. After hitting them with a stick, it was time to offer them a sweet reward; otherwise, they might take drastic actions.

    “Thank you, Mr. Xu.”

    The few hesitated briefly, and Huo Yaogong was the first to tightly clutch a box in his arms.

    The others quickly followed suit. Regardless of their true feelings, they knew they had to play along, especially on someone else’s turf.

    “I’ve given you money, but I still don’t fully trust you. Shouldn’t you all do something to increase the trust between us?”

    Xu Shaochen smiled slightly as he raised a camera toward them, speaking coldly, “I’m sure each of you has committed some kind of illegal act. Pick two of your most serious ones and describe them in detail, enough for the police to investigate based solely on this video. Consider it an additional layer of insurance for our cooperation.”

    All of them turned pale. If they confessed as Xu Shaochen asked, wouldn’t that allow him to control them for the rest of their lives?

    “This… isn’t necessary, is it?”

    Huo Yaogong cautiously asked. The idea of handing their fate over to someone else horrified him.

    “It seems you still don’t get the situation. I’m not negotiating with you. I’m giving you an order. Understand?”

    Xu Shaochen kicked Huo Yaogong to the ground, his eyes growing cold and malicious, sending chills through the group.

    “Mr. Xu, I… I killed someone. I killed with my own hands…”

    “I… I’ve been involved in collusion…”

    Once the first person confessed, others followed, and soon, everyone spoke up.

    After they finished speaking, they looked at each other, shocked to learn about the skeletons hidden among them.

    “That’s more like it. From now on, we’re friends. As long as you behave, this video won’t leak, and you’ll gain many benefits in return.”

    Handing the camera to Long Er, Xu Shaochen’s face displayed a warm smile as he bent down to help each of them stand up.
