Chapter 643: This Guy is a Weirdo

“Bang!”

After finishing the call, Zhou Yun angrily smashed his Phone on the ground, his face twisted with rage.

He didn’t expect that Zhang Wei, Zhao Qing, and Mei Liangxin had actually gone to the hospital!

How the hell was he supposed to make a move now?

Should he storm into the hospital to kill them?

What a joke! Risking exposing myself just to kill these small fry? Absolutely not worth it.

“Damn! Let’s see if your luck lasts forever!”

Zhou Yun gritted his teeth as he spoke.

He bent down to pick up his Phone, intending to call off his men, but found it was completely broken and wouldn’t even turn on.

“Son of a—! Wasn’t this Phone supposed to be waterproof and shockproof? Damn scammers!”

Zhou Yun furiously hurled the Phone again, feeling like he was on the verge of losing it.

He had spent the entire night waiting, only to get this result. The frustration in his heart was unimaginable.

Killing Xu Shaochen wasn’t his goal. His aim was revenge—to make Xu Shaochen suffer before killing him.

But now, the first step of his plan had failed, leaving him fuming.

………

The next day, at noon.

Xu Shaochen was sitting in the office, lazily browsing novels on his Phone.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Then came a knock on the door.

“Come in!”

Xu Shaochen said, not even bothering to look up.

“Clack, clack, clack…”

The crisp sound of high heels tapping the ground echoed through the room.

The secretary, dressed today in a white suit, walked in.

Unlike her usual skirt suit, today she wore women’s slacks, showing off her long legs in a strikingly bold way, and exuding a more heroic aura than usual.

More strikingly, the tight-fitting pants hugged her figure, accentuating her curves in a particularly seductive way.

Even Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but lose focus for a moment: “Are you in love?”

“N-no, not at all.”

The secretary was startled and didn’t understand why Xu Shaochen asked that.

“Then why are you dressed so nicely? Who are you trying to impress?” Xu Shaochen asked.

The secretary was at a loss for words. Was she supposed to say, ‘Of course, I’m dressing up to seduce the boss’?

Xu Shaochen merely asked offhandedly. Seeing she didn’t respond, he switched subjects: “So, what’s up?”

“Ah, Chairman Xu, the Deng Family’s people are here again. They say they’ve come to pick someone up.”

The secretary sweetly answered, playfully blinking at Xu Shaochen. She had purposely unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt today.

This was something she had learned from a friend, who told her it was the most effective way to seduce men.

But she still seemed a bit awkward with it, making her attempt feel somewhat clumsy, leaving Xu Shaochen both amused and exasperated.

What on earth is this woman thinking?

“Alright, let them in.”

Xu Shaochen waved her off, signaling for her to leave.

Truthfully, he didn’t feel anything for this secretary.

At best, he’d glance at her or tease her a bit, but actually doing anything? No thanks.

After all, now that he had a family, he needed to maintain his integrity outside of the house.

“Ah! Oh, okay.”

The secretary left a bit disappointed. Why hadn’t Chairman Xu reacted to her? Maybe she hadn’t unbuttoned enough?

No, she couldn’t unbutton anymore without showing too much.

Puzzled, the secretary walked out, high heels clacking on the floor.

Watching her leave, Xu Shaochen chuckled to himself. This woman must have a screw loose.

A few minutes later, a slightly chubby young man with fair skin entered the office, led by the secretary.

“Hello, Chairman Xu. I… I’m Deng Tianwen. It’s an honor to meet you.”

This young man gave Xu Shaochen a much better impression than Deng Tianquan.

But he was also noticeably nervous, even stuttering during his self-introduction.

Xu Shaochen didn’t shake his hand or even get up. Instead, he sat in his chair, asking directly, “Which number are you in the Deng Family?”

“The f-fourth, Chairman Xu. My big brother…”

Deng Tianwen seemed even more nervous now, standing there as if reporting to a superior.

Xu Shaochen chuckled lightly: “Why did the Deng Family send you?”

This young man was so tongue-tied, Xu Shaochen wondered how Deng Zhaoxiong trusted him to handle business.

“I’m the most useless, so I can only handle menial tasks.” Deng Tianwen gave a self-deprecating smile.

Xu Shaochen raised an eyebrow: “Alright, cut the act. You think playing the fool will make me go easy on you?”

Deng Tianwen paused, then broke into a grin: “Chairman Xu, your insight is truly remarkable! You saw through me in an instant. I’m really impressed!”

“Haha, if you were as clueless as you pretend, Deng Zhaoxiong wouldn’t have handed you this mission.” Xu Shaochen laughed and continued.

“No, no, Chairman Xu, you’ve got it wrong. Coming to Jiangzhou was my own decision.”

Now that his cover was blown, Deng Tianwen dropped the charade, casually walking over to the sofa and sitting down.

Xu Shaochen smiled with interest: “Oh? You must be pretty close with your big brother, huh?”

“Of course! We’re super close.” Deng Tianwen nodded, completely serious. “If he ever dies, I’d mourn so much I’d play ‘Today is a Good Day’ for three days straight to pay my respects.”

Xu Shaochen: “……”

“This guy is a total weirdo, just like Mei Liangxin back then.”

“So why did you come here? Why not let him die in Jiangzhou?” Xu Shaochen asked.

Deng Tianwen replied, “I’m chasing after my happiness. Recently, my happiness ran away from me and fled to Jiangzhou from the Northwest.”

Xu Shaochen’s mouth twitched. He had a suspicion this guy was a hopeless simp, chasing after someone all the way from the Northwest to Jiangzhou.

Deng Tianwen continued, “As for my big brother’s business, that’s not my concern. My second brother is also here. I’m just here to give you a heads-up. My second brother is a tough one to deal with. You should kill him and my big brother while you have the chance.”

“Your family… sure has some deep problems.” Xu Shaochen could barely keep up with Deng Tianwen’s twisted logic.

Deng Tianwen scoffed: “Problems? No way. We’re a loving family. You wouldn’t understand as an outsider.”

“The bond between our brothers is so deep that even death can only come from one of our own hands. Isn’t that affection deep enough for you?”

Seeing how serious Deng Tianwen sounded, Xu Shaochen was speechless for a moment.

Even though he knew it was nonsense, somehow, it still made a weird kind of sense.

“You can get lost now. Send your second brother in. I don’t talk to crazies.”

Xu Shaochen pointed to the office door, rudely dismissing Deng Tianwen.
