Chapter 595: I Thought So Too
by xennovel“Kid! You dare hit me? Just you wait!”
The pain in the middle-aged man’s face subsided a bit, but he was still sweating profusely. He spoke to Xu Shaochen through gritted teeth.
“What’s going on here!”
Just as he was about to make a phone call, the Hotel’s Boss rushed in with four Security Guards in tow.
“Boss, it’s them. They started the fight.”
The two Receptionists quickly pointed at Xu Shaochen.
The Boss looked at Xu Shaochen. But when his gaze fell on the middle-aged man’s face, his expression changed drastically. He hurried over.
“President Mo, are you okay?” The Boss asked with a concerned look.
“Are you asking if I’m okay? I got beaten by this brat in your hotel! You better give me an explanation!”
Mo Tian pointed at Xu Shaochen and roared angrily at the Boss.
The Boss bowed his head, visibly anxious. “President Mo, don’t worry. I’ll make sure you get a satisfactory explanation.”
After saying that, the Boss looked at Xu Shaochen and said, “Sir, I must ask you to apologize to President Mo.”
“Smack!”
Mo Tian raised his hand and slapped the Boss across the face. “Apologize? Do I look like I want an apology? Get your men to beat him! If he dies, I’ll take responsibility!”
The Boss, feeling the stinging pain on his face, was furious inside but kept his face adorned with a smile.
He turned around and yelled at the four Security Guards, “What are you standing there for? Didn’t you hear what President Mo just said? Beat him! Beat him to death!”
He couldn’t afford to offend Mo Tian, so he would vent his anger on Xu Shaochen.
If Xu Shaochen hadn’t offended Mo Tian, why would he have been slapped? So it was all Xu Shaochen’s fault.
The four Security Guards, upon hearing this, grabbed rubber batons and surrounded Xu Shaochen.
“If they dare to make a move, your hotel might as well close down.”
Xu Shaochen ignored the aggressive Security Guards and looked at the Boss with a calm tone.
“Are you threatening me? Do you think I, your father, can be scared? Hit him!”
The Boss let out a cold laugh, full of disdain.
“Even if Xu Shaochen has money, so what? With Mo Tian backing me, why should I be afraid?”
“Break one of his legs! I’ll give each of you 200,000 yuan!”
Mo Tian looked at Xu Shaochen with a malicious smile.
“Yeah! Beat him to death! How dare he hit me? Who does he think he is!”
The Woman egged on from the side, her eyes full of schadenfreude.
“Kill him!”
Hearing that they could earn 200,000 yuan by breaking Xu Shaochen’s leg, the four Security Guards’ eyes turned red with greed. With an angry shout, they rushed at him, waving their rubber batons.
“Boss!”
At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Long Yi and his men, who had just finished their meal, saw what was happening. Their faces changed drastically.
If their Boss got beaten because they were upstairs eating, they’d never forgive themselves.
Without hesitation, Long Er pulled out his handgun and aimed at the Security Guard closest to Xu Shaochen.
“Bang!”
A gunshot echoed, and a bullet drove into the Security Guard’s knee, causing a spray of blood.
“Aaargh!”
The shot guard let out a terrible scream, falling to the ground while clutching his bleeding left leg.
“Ah!”
Everyone was shocked by the sudden turn of events. The other three Security Guards froze in their tracks, immediately dropping their rubber batons.
The hotel Boss and Mo Tian also turned pale. None of them expected something like this to happen.
“Boss.”
Long Yi and the others hurried over. The other Bodyguards immediately pointed their guns at Mo Tian and his group.
“Bro… brother, don’t do anything rash. Please don’t be impulsive. Killing me isn’t worth it. It’s not worth it!”
Mo Tian’s face turned white. Looking at Xu Shaochen, he said in a trembling voice, while a stream of urine ran down his pants.
He was now regretting his actions.
Xu Shaochen’s bodyguards had real guns! There’s no way that kind of firepower is just a matter of having money, right?
And they even dared to fire those guns in broad daylight! What kind of people had he provoked?
The thought that he had offended such a person over a woman filled him with deep remorse.
Xu Shaochen ignored him. He lightly slapped the Boss’s face and smilingly said, “What was it I said earlier? Oh yes, I told you that if your men dared to make a move, your hotel would be shut down. Do you believe me now?”
“Thud!”
The Boss immediately fell to his knees, looking at Xu Shaochen with a tear-stricken face. “Big Brother, I believe you! Please let me go! Big Brother, I won’t dare to cross you ever again!”
Xu Shaochen gestured with his hand, and Long Yi handed him a gun.
Xu Shaochen pressed the gun against the Boss’s forehead.
The Boss’s body went stiff as he knelt there motionless, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
“Do you really believe me? Somehow, your reaction seems a bit insincere.”
Xu Shaochen spoke lightly.
“Big Brother, no, no, no! I’m not being insincere! I really believe you! I swear I do!”
The Boss shuddered, then hugged Xu Shaochen’s leg, looking up at him with pleading eyes.
“I’m just messing with you. I’m a respectable man. How could I shoot someone? Don’t you agree?”
Xu Shaochen said with a smile.
“Phew~”
The Boss let out a sigh of relief, then laughed as he nodded at Xu Shaochen. “Yes, yes, yes! You’re a man of status. You wouldn’t stoop to staining your hands with the blood of people like us. It’s not worth it.”
“I thought so too.” Xu Shaochen nodded in agreement, then handed the gun back to Long Yi and said, “So you do it. His hands are dirty; he wrinkled my pant leg just now.”
“No!”
The Boss’s eyes widened in shock.
Long Yi, without hesitation, fired a shot into the Boss’s arm.
“Bang!”
“Aaaah!”
The hotel Boss let out a heart-wrenching scream as he rolled around on the floor, his face contorted in pain as blood streamed from the bullet wound in his arm.
Xu Shaochen’s gaze shifted to Mo Tian, then to the remaining three Security Guards. He looked at Long Er.
“There’s a bank just to the left outside. Go and withdraw one million yuan in cash for me.”
“Yes, Boss.”
Long Er nodded, holstered his gun, and walked out of the hotel.
No one knew what Xu Shaochen was planning to do. They all stood there trembling with fear, not daring to move a muscle or make a sound.
Xu Shaochen remained silent, and the entire lobby was eerily quiet.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
Finally, about ten minutes later, the sound of footsteps broke the tense silence.
Long Er returned, carrying a bag filled with one million yuan in cash.
