Chapter 605: I Think You’re Right

“Being low-key is an attitude reserved for the strong. As for the weak, I’ve always been confident. If something I did made Young Master Xu uncomfortable, he just has to deal with it!”

Zhao Li scoffed at Chen Ju’s persuasion, then provocatively glanced at Xu Shaochen. “Young Master Xu, don’t you think I’m right? Tell me, does a lion need to be humble before an ant?”

He purposefully emphasized the words ‘Young Master Xu’.

Liang Huan stood to the side, smiling slyly with a mocking look in his eyes, as if savoring the spectacle.

“Young Master Zhao makes a good point, but I also have a question for you: if that ant keeps provoking the lion, what do you think the lion should do?”

Xu Shaochen grinned as he calmly asked Zhao Li.

Hearing this, Zhao Li smiled, but his grin abruptly turned cold. “I think the lion would crush the arrogant little ant.”

In his eyes, Xu Shaochen was the ant, and he was the towering lion.

“Bang!”

The next second, Xu Shaochen suddenly made his move, grabbing a beer bottle from the table and smashing it on Zhao Li’s head.

“Ah!”

Zhao Li screamed as blood mixed with alcohol poured down his face. Holding his head, he collapsed heavily onto the ground.

“I think you’re right. The lion would crush the ant, so I’ve chosen to crush you too.”

Xu Shaochen looked down at Zhao Li from above, speaking nonchalantly as he tossed the broken bottle onto the floor.

For a moment, Liang Huan stood stunned, only snapping out of it after a brief delay, and rushed over to help Zhao Li up.

“Zhao Li! Are you alright?! Zhao Li!”

As he helped Zhao Li to his feet, he glared at Xu Shaochen and threatened, “How dare you hit the fourth young master of the Zhao Family? You must have a death wish!”

“Smack!”

Before he finished his sentence, Xu Shaochen raised his hand and slapped Liang Huan across the face. “If you say one more word, you’ll share his fate.”

“Fine! Fine! I never imagined there’d be someone so fearless in Jiangzhou. You’re a dead man! Just wait for it!”

Zhao Li gritted his teeth, covering his bleeding head as he pointed at Xu Shaochen, roaring with anger.

In Jingcheng, no one had ever dared touch him, but here in Jiangzhou, a local had hit him. It was a humiliation like no other.

“Young Master Zhao, Young Master Liang, please calm down!”

Chen Ju attempted to smooth things over.

“Chen Ju! Are you trying to protect him? Let me tell you, not even the King of Heaven can save him!”

Zhao Li shouted angrily, casting a venomous glance at Xu Shaochen as Liang Huan helped him exit the room.

“Sigh, what a mess. Young Master Xu, you’ve offended the Kong family, the Zhao Family, and the Liang family all at once. You’ve got some rough days ahead.”

Chen Ju sighed and gave Xu Shaochen a bitter smile.

“I’m not worried, so why are you so concerned? Worst case scenario, I just go abroad for a few years. If they dare chase me overseas, they won’t be coming back alive.”

Xu Shaochen stretched and loosened up as if it didn’t bother him at all.

“Sigh.”

Chen Ju sighed again, feeling that Xu Shaochen was being too impulsive. It wasn’t worth escalating things to this level.

But he didn’t understand Xu Shaochen. Xu could endure anything, but he would never tolerate being wronged.

“Young Master Chen, I need to use the restroom.”

Xu Shaochen informed Chen Ju before turning and leaving the room.

Once he entered the bathroom, Xu Shaochen made a call to Long Yi, who was waiting outside the bar.

“Two people just came out. One has an injury on his forehead. Take them to the beach for some fresh air. I’ll join you after I’m done here.”

After giving his instructions, he hung up the Phone.

The Kong family alone was already problematic. If the Liang family and Zhao Family got involved, even as the Young Master of the Xu Corporation, his status wouldn’t be enough within the country.

After all, in the country, power is king. Abroad, wealth rules. The two are very different.

The Zhao Family and Liang family are key aristocratic families in Jingcheng. They may not have loads of money, but their influence is undeniable.

Therefore, Xu Shaochen couldn’t afford to be passive. He had to seize control of the situation.

After washing his hands, Xu Shaochen returned to the private room.

“I was almost thinking you were going to flee to catch a late-night flight abroad.”

Seeing Xu Shaochen return, Chen Ju jokingly teased.

“Hahaha, Young Master Chen, I’m not alone. I’ve got too many women at home to just run away quickly.”

Xu Shaochen laughed heartily and sat down next to Chen Ju, acting like the earlier conflict hadn’t even happened.

Sun Shang looked at Xu Shaochen with a complicated expression. He had to admit that at this moment, he had a bit of respect for Xu Shaochen.

Sun had always been direct, but he never dared to challenge Liang Huan or Zhao Li.

But Xu Shaochen? He flipped the script without hesitation, offending both of them at once. That kind of boldness was truly rare.

Chen Ju shook his head and said with a wry smile, “Are you showing off on purpose? Everyone in Jiangzhou knows about your reputation, Young Master Xu.”

“Young Master Chen, now that I’ve offended three families, aren’t you afraid to get dragged down with me?” Xu Shaochen grinned as he asked Chen Ju.

Chen Ju froze for a moment before shaking his head. “Not really. Our relationship isn’t deep enough for them to come after me.”

“Damn, that honesty cuts deep.”

… … …

Elsewhere.

Liang Huan was helping Zhao Li as they exited the bar, pushing through the crowded space.

“Damn, a local dared to lay hands on me. He’s dead meat.”

Zhao Li winced in pain as he touched his forehead. Fortunately, the bleeding had stopped.

Liang Huan’s expression was equally dark. After all, he had also been slapped by Xu Shaochen.

Suddenly, they both stopped in their tracks, sensing something pressing against their waists.

In the next moment, they realized it was a gun.

“Don’t turn around. Just walk forward and get into the Mercedes parked by the curb.”

As they began to turn their heads, a cold voice sounded from behind them.

“Brother, what do you want—money or power? We can give you both. Don’t act impulsively. If we die, you won’t be able to handle the consequences.”

Liang Huan remained calm and sought to negotiate despite the tension.

“Ah!”

But before he could keep talking, someone punched the back of his head, making him scream in pain.

“Less talking. Get in the Car. If I wanted you to speak, you’d know. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you never talk again.”

After hearing this, Liang Huan stayed quiet.
