Chapter Index

    “Vroom vroom vroom…”

    Accompanied by the roar of engines, a convoy of cars stopped at the entrance of the Bamboo Garden.

    Next, the car doors opened, and bodyguards in suits and ties stepped out one by one.

    Yun Changsheng quickly walked up to Kong Tianjing. “Young Master Kong, why didn’t you notify me when you came to Yijing? I wanted to play host and show you around…”

    “Enough with the flattery. Capture the woman inside, and beat the others to death for me. If you do this well, I won’t treat you poorly.”

    Kong Tianjing rudely interrupted Yun Changsheng, pointing at the entrance of Bamboo Garden with gritted teeth.

    Seeing Kong Tianjing’s arrogant demeanor, a shadow of resentment flashed through Yun Changsheng’s eyes. Damn it, if it weren’t for your powerful dad, I wouldn’t even bother with you.

    Of course, although he thought this way, his outward demeanor had to be different: “Yes, Young Master Kong, rest assured. In Yijing, anyone who dares to hit you might as well have hit me. I will definitely give you an explanation.”

    “Hmph! Get to work.” Kong Tianjing snorted coldly.

    Yun Changsheng waved his hand. “You all heard what Young Master Kong said, right? Get to work.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, he led his bodyguards straight into the Bamboo Garden.

    The moment he charged in, his expression froze completely.

    Because he saw Long Yi, Long Er, Long San, and Long Si.

    He knew those four too well; back in Jiangzhou, these four were often seen following Xu Shaochen.

    Now that they were here, there was no need to guess who was inside.

    At this thought, cold sweat broke out all over Yun Changsheng. He stopped his bodyguards who were just about to make a move and shouted, “Wait, stop, all of you, stop immediately!”

    Kong Tianjing had some substantial backing, but he still paled in comparison to Xu Shaochen. The choice between the two was obvious.

    “Brothers, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Please don’t tell Mr. Xu.”

    Yun Changsheng said ingratiatingly to Long Yi and the others, feeling utterly humiliated. As a second-generation rich kid, his situation had become downright depressing—offending either side was too much for him.

    “Stop? Stop what? Yun Changsheng, didn’t you hear me say to beat them to death? Are you deaf?”

    Just then, Kong Tianjing walked in with his men and overheard Yun Changsheng’s words. He instantly flew into a rage.

    Seeing Kong Tianjing’s swaggering attitude, Yun Changsheng almost exploded with anger. He suppressed his fury and said through gritted teeth, “Young Master Kong, I know the person inside. How about I act as a middleman to introduce you two? After all, it’s better to make friends than enemies.”

    “Smack!”

    Before he could finish, Kong Tianjing slapped him across the face. “Make friends? Yun Changsheng, did I ask you to come here to make friends for me? I brought you here to vent my anger! Can’t you do anything right? And you want me to promote you? Dream on!”

    “I’ll ask you just one thing: are you going to make a move today or not?”

    In front of Xu Shaochen, Kong Tianjing was like a grandson.

    But in front of Yun Changsheng, Kong Tianjing was domineering to an extreme, knowing Yun Changsheng wouldn’t dare do anything to him.

    Feeling the pain on his face, Yun Changsheng was seething with rage. He gritted his teeth and said, “Make a move? Of course, we’ll make a move! Damn you!”

    As soon as he finished, he raised his foot and kicked Kong Tianjing to the ground, shouting, “Get him! Young Master Kong just said, beat him to death!”

    As he yelled, he began punching and kicking Kong Tianjing as if to vent all the grievances he had accumulated over time.

    Hearing these commands, the bodyguards he brought along immediately swarmed Kong Tianjing without hesitation.

    “Ah! Yun Changsheng, how dare you hit me! You’re dead, you’re so dead!”

    “What’s wrong with hitting you? Damn it, I’ve had enough of you!” Yun Changsheng kicked again, feeling a satisfaction he never imagined.

    “Stop! Stop! Yun Changsheng, please stop! I promise I won’t hold you responsible. I was wrong, Big Brother, Grandpa, I was wrong!”

    Kong Tianjing cried and begged for mercy. He was just out for a trip, so how did it end up this miserable?

    Being beaten by Xu Shaochen was bad enough. Now, even Yun Changsheng, whom he’d called for help, was beating him up.

    Is this what they call the legendary ‘asking for a beating’?

    Seeing Kong Tianjing begging for mercy, Yun Changsheng hit him even harder. “You’re just a masochist. When I’m respectful, you treat me like a dog. When I beat you up, you treat me like I’m your grandfather.”

    “What does this mean? It means you’ll always ask for a beating!”

    Long Yi and the others exchanged bewildered looks, completely dumbfounded by what was happening.

    They had been prepared for a big fight, but the situation changed so quickly that they were left speechless.

    How did the enemy suddenly become an ally?

    “Go… go tell the Boss.”

    It took Long Yi a while to snap out of it, nudging Long San with his foot to inform Xu Shaochen.

    When Xu Shaochen came out and saw the scene, he was just as puzzled.

    “What… what’s going on here?”

    Yun Changsheng quickly approached Xu Shaochen and said, “Mr. Xu, this fool Kong Tianjing dared to offend you, so I gave him a good beating on your behalf!”

    “Alright, tell your men to stop.”

    Xu Shaochen frowned and said.

    “Stop! Didn’t you hear Mr. Xu? Stop!”

    Yun Changsheng quickly ordered his bodyguards to stop.

    “Boohoo hoo hoo, I’m never coming to Yijing again!”

    On the ground, Kong Tianjing was crying like a two-hundred-pound baby.

    It was bad enough getting beaten by the enemy, but even his own ally beat him up.

    Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but smile. Kong Tianjing’s current state was so pitiful that his own mother probably wouldn’t recognize him.

    “Now get out of here, or if you get beaten to death, don’t blame me.”

    Xu Shaochen waved his hand dismissively, disgusted. Five grown men, and their pants were in tatters—what an eyesore.

    “Yun Changsheng, you better watch out!”

    Kong Tianjing shakily got to his feet, glaring at Yun Changsheng as he spat out his threat.

    Of course, the threat was also directed at Xu Shaochen, but Kong Tianjing didn’t have the guts to say his name.

    Yun Changsheng pretended not to hear it. Beating Kong Tianjing was far less risky than offending Xu Shaochen.

    Between the two, choosing the lesser evil was the best strategy.

    With resentment brewing towards Yun Changsheng, Xu Shaochen, and all of Yijing, Kong Tianjing left Bamboo Garden. But inwardly, he vowed that he wouldn’t let this matter slide.

    He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. This was utterly unbearable.

    “What exactly happened just now?”

    Xu Shaochen asked, looking at Yun Changsheng. How did this guy end up here, and why did he just beat up Kong Tianjing? This whole situation was incredibly bizarre.

    “Ahem… well… this is… that…” Yun Changsheng didn’t know where to start.
