Chapter 646: I’m Afraid of Being Dragged Down by You

Xu Shaochen was in the office helping the secretary improve her business skills.

Meanwhile, Ma Cheng, Third Young Master Ma, and Ma Di had a heated argument over the Phone at the hospital.

“Forget it? Second Brother, you’re really defending an outsider? I was shot in the knee, and you’re telling me to just let it go?!”

Ma Cheng roared hysterically into the Phone.

“Ma Cheng, I’m doing this for your own good! Do you even know who he is? I warn you not to bring disaster to our Ma Family!”

Far away in Macau, Ma Di was even more furious in response to Ma Cheng’s anger.

“I don’t care who he is, even if he’s the King of Heaven, I’ll break one of his legs!” Ma Cheng declared firmly, then sneered, “Second Brother, you’re friends with him, huh? It makes sense. You’re the type of person who’d abandon his own family for friends. I understand why you’d say that.”

“Don’t worry, I don’t need you. Big Brother will help me.”

“Ma Cheng, you’re hopeless!” Ma Di cursed in frustration.

Ma Di had made a deal with Xu Shaochen back on the gambling cruise.

Xu Shaochen helped him compete for control of the Ma Family, and in return, Ma Di gave Xu Shaochen shares.

Now, with Ye Tao working alongside him, his achievements grew, and their father valued him more every day.

He obviously didn’t want trouble at this moment.

“Yes, I’m hopeless. Happy now? Ma Di, if you don’t plan to help, don’t meddle like a dog chasing a mouse!”

After saying this, Ma Cheng hung up, his face livid with anger.

“Damn it! You traitorous scumbag! If you took over, our Ma Family would have been doomed long ago!”

He cursed in rage before dialing his Big Brother’s number.

“Big Brother, you’ve got to help me this time! They broke my leg… Yes, Big Brother. Don’t worry, I trust you.”

A moment later, Ma Cheng hung up the Phone again, but this time with a smile on his face.

Compared to Ma Di, who was a traitor, Big Brother was far better.

The moment Big Brother heard he was hurt, he immediately sent people to take revenge.

Supporting Big Brother was definitely the right choice.

“Xu Shaochen! Just you wait, you’ll die soon!”

Ma Cheng’s eyes flashed with cold fury as he hissed the words through clenched teeth.

………………

At the Jiangzhou Grand Hotel.

The Deng Family had temporarily settled there.

“What did he say?”

Deng Tianyang, the second son of the Deng Family, looked at Deng Tianwen and asked.

Deng Tianwen replied lackadaisically, “What else? He’s stalling. I don’t think he intends to release him at all.”

“Otherwise, we returned his man already. Why hasn’t he let Big Brother go?”

He, of course, wouldn’t tell Deng Tianyang that Deng Tianquan was already dead.

Otherwise, if Deng Tianyang got scared and fled back to the Northwest, what then?

It’s easy for Xu Shaochen to attack him in Jiangzhou.

But if he goes back to the Northwest, killing Deng Tianyang would become much harder.

“Hmph! In the Northwest, no one would dare to treat the Deng Family like this!”

Deng Tianyang snorted coldly, gnashing his teeth.

He didn’t doubt Deng Tianwen’s words.

After all, in everyone’s eyes, Deng Tianwen was always mediocre. How could he lie about something like this?

Besides, there wouldn’t be any point in lying.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the Northwest.

A flash of mockery flickered in Deng Tianwen’s eyes, but he put on a helpless expression. “Second Brother, what should we do now? If he really doesn’t release Big Brother, what then?”

“Schedule another meeting. I’ll deal with him personally tonight.” Deng Tianyang replied confidently. In his mind, it made sense that Deng Tianwen couldn’t get results.

After all, Deng Tianwen was always mediocre. It had to be up to him to solve the problem.

Once Big Brother was safely back in the Northwest, it would further prove his own abilities.

Deng Tianwen nodded, “Second Brother, I’ll call him a bit later.”

Meanwhile.

Xu Shaochen was still helping the secretary improve her business skills.

The secretary was quite eager to learn. Under Xu Shaochen’s theoretical guidance, she had practiced several times.

Each time she did better, allowing Xu Shaochen to fully enjoy the fruits of his training.

At that moment, Mei Liangxin arrived, and Xu Shaochen had to send the secretary out.

“Why are you at my office? What’s up? Have a seat and let’s talk.”

Xu Shaochen said as he looked at Mei Liangxin.

A moment later, the secretary walked in with a cup of tea, placing it in front of Mei Liangxin with a shy expression.

“Does she like me? Otherwise, why did her face turn red when she brought me tea?”

Mei Liangxin asked, looking at Xu Shaochen, as his gaze lingered on the secretary’s seductive figure.

“Cough, cough, maybe,” Xu Shaochen coughed. He knew the secretary’s blush was from a ‘hands-on’ learning session earlier, but he didn’t want to embarrass Mei Liangxin.

Seeing Mei Liangxin’s self-absorbed attitude, Xu Shaochen didn’t have the heart to burst his bubble.

“What a pity. I already have a good wife at home. Shaochen, tell her I’m sorry.”

“After all, the poor girl might be falling in love for the first time. Ending things before they even start is cruel.”

Mei Liangxin sighed, taking a sip of tea, and gave Xu Shaochen a look filled with emotion.

Xu Shaochen: “……”

I was just making a random remark. Why did you take it so seriously?

Do you really think that highly of yourself? Do you ever look in the mirror at home?

“So, what’s going on? If you’re just here to mess around, leave. I have work to do.”

Xu Shaochen changed the subject, eager to send Mei Liangxin away so he could continue discussing the more ‘philosophical’ aspects of life with the secretary in the office.

After all, he had just checked her out and realized she was indeed a woman with hidden ‘depths.’

Mei Liangxin, seeing his serious tone, remembered the real reason he came and said solemnly, “Shaochen, I think someone’s trying to harm us.”

“Us?” Xu Shaochen raised an eyebrow.

Mei Liangxin continued, “Last night, when Zhao Qing, Zhang Wei, and I sent those three lawyers to the hospital, I think someone was tailing us.”

“I saw that Car as we left the hotel. Later, when we got to the hospital, it was still parked nearby, for a long time before it finally left. It was really suspicious.”

Besides, at the time, Zhou Yun had broken his Phone and couldn’t warn them to leave.

Without Zhou Yun’s orders, those guys didn’t dare to withdraw, which only made Mei Liangxin suspicious.

Hearing this, Xu Shaochen frowned, “Could you be mistaken? You didn’t offend anyone, right?”

“But you offended plenty! I’m afraid you’re going to drag me down with you!” Mei Liangxin rolled his eyes.

Xu Shaochen: “………..”

You make a good point. I can’t argue with that.
