Chapter 579: The Car Doors Are Already Welded Shut

“You’re accusing me? You were the mastermind!”

The young man saw the red-shirted middle-aged man bite back and instantly reddened with anger: “You son of a—! Just you wait!”

After saying that, he quickly took out his phone and dialed 110: “Hello, is this the police station? I want to report a scam at the airport… What’s that? Yes, I was involved too.”

Everyone: “…………”

This guy’s really ruthless. Reporting himself to get back at his partner.

“Maybe we should just drop it,” Liu Rushuang said softly, tugging on Xu Shaochen’s sleeve. She felt these two scammers might have some screws loose.

Xu Shaochen’s mouth twitched. This must be the legendary ‘burning your own house down to injure your enemy.’

“Damn it, you called the police?! You have no street code at all! I’m gonna kill you!”

The red-shirted middle-aged man cursed angrily, somehow mustering the strength to break free from Long Yi’s hold and landed a punch on the young man.

Then, right in front of everyone’s eyes, the two started grappling on the ground, trading punches and kicks.

By the time the police arrived, they were dumbfounded. What kind of grudge could lead to such a vicious fight?

“Officer, it’s these two… One scammer reported the other one,” a bystander in the crowd explained, pointing to the two men on the ground.

“Cuff them and take them all away,” the team captain ordered with a grand wave of his hand. Two officers stepped forward and forcefully separated the two scammers, handcuffing them and taking them away.

“Let’s go,” Xu Shaochen said, signaling Long Yi to take the group of researchers to the Jiangzhou Grand Hotel for temporary lodging.

They would stay there until the new company, the factory, and the lab were all set up, after which they would arrange for dormitories.

Xu Shaochen wasn’t worried about the cost of staying in a five-star hotel because the benefits these researchers could bring far exceeded the room fees.

After assigning the task to Long Yi, Xu Shaochen and Liu Rushuang took a taxi to her home.

Standing at the door, Liu Rushuang took out her keys from her bag and opened the door.

“Shhh—”

Just as Liu Rushuang was about to speak, Xu Shaochen put a finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet.

Then, he quietly opened Liu Ruxu’s room door.

With the faint light of dawn, Xu Shaochen could see a delicate figure lying in the middle of the bed. Her nightgown was disheveled, and a pair of long, pale legs were particularly conspicuous.

He originally planned to scare her, but remembering that Liu Ruxu was pregnant, he gave up the idea and turned on the room’s light instead.

Liu Ruxu, who was still asleep, seemed to sense something. She drowsily opened her eyes and, seeing Xu Shaochen, mumbled to herself, “I must really miss this jerk… I can’t believe I’m dreaming of him again. So annoying.”

“Really? Then why do you still dream about me if I annoy you so much?” Xu Shaochen’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Liu Ruxu suddenly widened her eyes and sat up, stammering, “W-When did you get back?”

“Hehe, I just got home.”

Liu Rushuang laughed as she walked into the room, answering Liu Ruxu’s question.

Xu Shaochen approached the bed, pulled Liu Ruxu into his arms, and kissed her forehead. “Sister Liu, you’ve worked hard.”

“Enough talking, just kiss me~”

Liu Ruxu closed her eyes and kissed Xu Shaochen, her nightgown slipping to the floor.

“Ahem, ahem, you two, take it easy. Sis, I know you’re lonely, but at least consider the little one in your belly.”

Liu Rushuang, her face darkening, called a halt to the two, or else the scene would have become far more inappropriate.

“Ah! It’s all your fault—I almost forgot! Get away from me, don’t hurt my baby!”

Liu Ruxu immediately pushed Xu Shaochen away and grabbed the blanket to cover her graceful figure.

Xu Shaochen lamented, “So now that you have a baby, you don’t need me anymore, huh? I’m the one who worked hard, isn’t this little monkey inside you thanks to my efforts?”

“Hmph, shameless! How dare you say that?” Liu Ruxu playfully scolded, putting one hand on her belly.

“It’s still early. Let’s sleep a bit more. I’ll just hold you, I promise I won’t be naughty.”

Xu Shaochen spoke as he unceremoniously lifted the blanket and snuck into the bed.

“Hmph, I’m not afraid of you being naughty. Unless you don’t want your son anymore.”

Liu Ruxu responded confidently.

“Alright, you two take your time. I’ll leave you the space. I’m going to sleep in my own room.”

Liu Rushuang yawned, turned off the room’s light, and gently closed the door as she left.

Liu Ruxu held Xu Shaochen tightly, as if afraid that the moment she let go, he would disappear.

Before, she missed Xu Shaochen, but it was never this intense.

Ever since she became pregnant, her mind was filled with thoughts of him, and he even appeared frequently in her dreams.

“Don’t worry, I plan to build a big house, so everyone can move in together. That way, we can see each other every day.”

Feeling Liu Ruxu’s warmth, Xu Shaochen whispered softly.

“What about Liu Rushuang?”

Liu Ruxu asked. She had no objections as long as she could be with Xu Shaochen, but what mattered most was his sister’s thoughts.

Xu Shaochen smiled and said, “Once she got in my car, there’s no getting out. I’ve already welded the car doors shut.”

“Besides, do you think your sister is a fool? She’s already figured out what’s going on.”

Liu Ruxu was stunned at first, then nodded in understanding, “You’re right. She’s been smarter than me since we were kids. There’s no way she hasn’t noticed anything by now.”

“I’m warning you, you can treat me however you want, but if you don’t treat her well, I’ll never forgive you.”

“Enough with the nonsense. Do you think I’d ever treat Liu Rushuang like that?” Xu Shaochen strongly refuted Liu Ruxu’s words.

Liu Ruxu rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah, yeah, you’re not a heartless guy, you’re just too loving. The women around you are like crops, one after another. I don’t even know how many ‘bedmates’ I’ve had by now.”

“Enough talk, let’s sleep. I didn’t sleep well on the plane.”

Xu Shaochen ended the conversation because he felt guilty.

………

7:00 AM.

A plane from the Capital landed at Yijing Airport.

Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a black suit with slicked-back hair, walked out with quick, firm strides. Eight tall bodyguards followed behind him.

His name was Kong Biao, the second in command of the Kong Family and Kong Tianjing’s Second Uncle.
