Chapter 611: There Will Be Bloodshed Tonight

Xu Shaochen’s smile gradually disappeared, replaced by an ominous expression. His voice turned cold as he spoke.

“Zhao Li, Fourth Young Master Zhao, have you forgotten something? That little tail you left behind is now in my hands. Do you think you’re in any position to negotiate with me?”

As soon as Zhao Li and Liang Huan heard this, their hearts sank. They had been too focused on wanting to kill Kong Biao and Kong Tianjing to remember this detail.

Seeing their expressions change, Xu Shaochen’s tone softened a little: “Gentlemen, right now, your only option is to trust me. Don’t worry, I won’t deceive you on this.”

“As long as the Kong Family vanishes from Jingcheng, I’ll give you both a massive benefit to make up for your mistakes. I might even help you climb higher in your families.”

“What exactly is this benefit? I won’t tell you right now, but you’ll find out soon enough.”

The benefit Xu Shaochen mentioned was, of course, shares in the special medicine company.

Kong Biao still had a contract for 20% of the shares. Once he was dead, that contract would disappear, and no one would be able to prove anything.

At that point, the special medicine would completely belong to Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen planned to give 10% of the shares each to Zhao Li and Liang Huan. That would be enough to secure their positions as heirs in their respective families.

With the video evidence in his possession, Xu Shaochen could control both Zhao Li and Liang Huan. Once they became the heads of their families, he’d have both of them under his thumb.

This way, no one else would dare to come after the special medicine’s profits, like the Kong Family foolishly did.

The profits from producing the special medicine were just too enormous to enjoy alone. Even Xu Shaochen couldn’t swallow the whole pie without attracting attention.

With the influence of the Liang Family, the Zhao Family, and various domestic connections, plus the Xu Family’s wealth, who would dare lay a hand on the special medicine’s profits? Of course, Xu Shaochen would not reveal the full details of the special medicine to Zhao Li and Liang Huan right now, just to be safe.

At the moment, the Tan Family, Xu himself, and the Kong Family were the only ones who knew about the Special Medicine Formula.

Until everything was settled, Xu Shaochen did not want anything to spiral out of his control.

“Have you both thought it through?”

Xu Shaochen looked at the two men and asked.

Liang Huan gave a bitter smile: “Do we really have a choice?”

“I hope you’re not lying to us. If you are, then we have nothing left to lose,” Zhao Li said through gritted teeth, his face dark. He only made this threat because he was utterly out of options.

“You won’t regret it. Kong Tianjing and Kong Biao are staying at the Jiangzhou Grand Hotel. It’s up to you how to handle it. If you need my help, don’t hesitate to ask. I’m always willing to lend a hand.”

While speaking, Xu Shaochen accepted a cigar from Long Yi and personally lit it for both Zhao Li and Liang Huan, stuffing the cigars into their mouths with a grin.

Mei Liangxin, who had been watching the entire scene from the side, silently expressed his condolences for Zhao Li and Liang Huan.

Who told them to run their mouths in the bar’s private room earlier? This was what happens to people who talk too much with Xu Shaochen.

“It’s getting late, so I’m off now. Gentlemen, I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

With that said, Xu Shaochen smiled slightly, turned around, and left with Long Yi and his crew.

Moments later, the roar of engines echoed through the night as three Cars disappeared into the dark.

Before long, only Zhao Li and Liang Huan remained on the vast beach.

“Damn, the thing I regret most in my life is those few words I said in the bar’s private room earlier,” Zhao Li cursed, taking a deep drag of his cigar, seething with anger.

Liang Huan was even more helpless, feeling he had been dragged down by Zhao Li.

Suddenly, Zhao Li’s face changed.

“What’s wrong?” Liang Huan asked, growing tense.

Zhao Li gulped nervously: “Did he… did he drive away?”

“Of course he drove. What, did you think he’d walk back… Wait, damn!”

Liang Huan suddenly realized the situation too.

Xu Shaochen had driven away, so what about them?

They had taken a half-hour Car ride from the City to get here. Now, soaked to the bone in the middle of the night, they would have to walk back. They’d be half-dead before they reached anywhere.

Zhao Li pulled out his Phone, but it was dead. Then, he looked at Liang Huan and said, “What about your Phone? Take it out and see.”

Liang Huan took out his Phone and pressed a button. The screen lit up, and both men lit up with joy.

“Quick, call someone to pick us up!”

Zhao Li urged, unable to contain his impatience.

Just as Liang Huan was about to dial, a message flashed across the screen: Battery low, 1% remaining, shutting down in 15 seconds.

“Forget the call! Just send a text!” Zhao Li shouted, full of anxiety.

Liang Huan quickly composed a message, but just as he was about to send it, the screen went black.

Zhao Li: “…”

Liang Huan: “…”

The two of them stood there, lost in the biting, cold wind from the sea.

………

“Uh… was it really okay to just leave them there?”

In the Car, Mei Liangxin turned to Xu Shaochen and asked.

Xu Shaochen rolled his eyes: “I left without looking back, like a free-spirited guy. If I turned around to pick them up, wouldn’t that be way too low?”

“But they’re soaked, it’s the middle of the night, and it’s far from the City. Something could happen to them. You still need to use them, don’t you?”

Xu Shaochen considered this for a moment and nodded: “Alright then, I’ll call them a Didi.”

Half an hour later, Xu Shaochen dropped Mei Liangxin off at his compound.

“Wait a minute. I did a reading earlier. I’d advise you not to go home tonight, or you might face some bloodshed.”

As Mei Liangxin was about to get out of the Car, Xu Shaochen kindly reminded him.

Mei Liangxin, unimpressed, said, “Yingying is a gentle and understanding girl. No matter how late I come back, she never says a word.”

With that, Mei Liangxin got out of the Car without looking back.

Xu Shaochen thought about the lipstick he had slipped into Mei Liangxin’s pocket and offered him a silent moment of condolences, then urged Long Yi to drive away.

Mei Liangxin took the elevator upstairs and knocked on his apartment door.

Knock knock…

Moments later, Liu Ying opened the door, dressed in a nightgown: “You’re back. Come in, go take a shower first.”

As she spoke, Liu Ying helped him out of his jacket.

Looking at Liu Ying’s gentle face, Mei Liangxin felt proud and kissed her cheek.

Xu Shaochen could never imagine how kind and gentle Liu Ying was. Bloodshed? What an absolute joke.

Thinking this, Mei Liangxin headed to the bathroom.

“Mei Liangxin! Get out here right now!”

Moments later, Liu Ying’s angry voice echoed through the apartment.

Startled, Mei Liangxin quickly pulled his pants back up and came out of the bathroom.
