Chapter 670: Unexpected Incident at the Reception

“Come on, take Young Master Liao home to rest.”

Liu Jun reached out and wiped Liao Zhanfei’s tears.

Then, carrying a cane, he limped ahead.

Scaring Liao Zhanfei but ensuring he wasn’t harmed. That should be enough.

Watching Liu Jun’s limping back, Liao Zhanfei suddenly understood how Liao Zanrong must have felt leaving Jiangzhou.

This guy is a complete lunatic, doing things without any regard.

Liu Jun made a Phone call to Xu Shaochen.

“Mr. Xu, the matter you asked me to handle is done.”

“I just had a pleasant talk with Young Master Liao. I’m about to take him home now.”

………..

Jiangzhou Grand Hotel, main hall.

Xu Shaochen hung up Liu Jun’s call.

Then, he turned to Du Ruyan and said, “See, I told you he’d back down.”

“What did you do?” Du Ruyan frowned. After all, Liao Zhanfei was Liao Zhengli’s son, and going too far wasn’t good.

Xu Shaochen smiled, “Don’t worry, I didn’t touch a single hair on him. I just scared him to behave.”

“Mr. Xu, you’re sweet-talking Miss Du here. Aren’t you going to join us for a drink?”

Ye Huaiyuan and Sun Hai came over, each holding a glass, teasing Xu Shaochen with smiles.

“Well, I reckon I can still toast with you two.”

Xu Shaochen, with an empty glass, casually took Du Ruyan’s and raised it in a toast, downing it in one gulp.

Drinking from his woman’s glass didn’t bother him in the slightest.

Du Ruyan playfully rolled her eyes, then took the glass back and poured him another drink.

Tap tap tap tap!

Just then, with a sudden rush of footsteps, four middle-aged men barged in.

“What are you doing…?”

Bang!

The moment someone stepped forward to question them, the four immediately drew their pistols and fired a shot at the ceiling.

“Nobody move! Get down and put your hands on your head!”

“Ahhhh!”

In the blink of an eye, chaos erupted in the hall, with piercing screams from the women.

Everyone crouched down, trembling in fear.

Xu Shaochen crouched as well, shielding Du Ruyan beside him.

“How lawless! Absolutely lawless!”

Not far away, Liao Zhengli, pale with rage, muttered to himself.

He couldn’t believe that at his own reception, someone would dare to burst in with guns so brazenly.

Of the four men that entered, two blocked the door while the other two walked toward the crowd with guns drawn.

“We’re here for one person tonight. As long as everyone stays down, we’ll leave once we’re done.”

One of them calmly scanned the room as he spoke.

Whether true or not, his words at least eased everyone’s fears slightly.

Tap tap tap tap…

More footsteps echoed, and when the crowd looked up, they saw a young man walking in with a smile.

The instant Xu Shaochen saw the young man, his face darkened.

Because this young man was none other than the Ma Family’s Third Young Master, Ma Cheng.

He never expected Ma Cheng to be so blatant, daring to bring people to Liao Zhengli’s reception seeking revenge.

“Xu Shaochen! You remember me, right?”

Ma Cheng’s gaze zeroed in on Xu Shaochen, a wide, satisfied grin on his face.

The crowd erupted in whispers—they finally realized this had been orchestrated against Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen gently patted Du Ruyan’s hand before standing up, glaring coldly at Ma Cheng. “Are you insane?!”

“Yes, I am! What can you even do about it? Never thought I’d have you cornered like this, huh? I’m telling you, no one hits me without paying the price!”

Ma Cheng’s eyes burned with fury as he spoke, then turned to the men holding guns. “Teach him a lesson! Show him what kind of tone he’s allowed to use with me!”

The moment those words fell, two gunmen strode toward Xu Shaochen.

One aimed his gun at Xu Shaochen, while the other punched him hard in the face.

Bam!

Xu Shaochen endured it, but his heart was boiling with murderous intent.

How long has it been?

He couldn’t even remember the last time someone had dared strike him, let alone humiliate him like this.

This punch alone! Ma Cheng and these four dogs he brought with him will all die in Jiangzhou!

“Hahaha, Xu Shaochen, I love watching that angry but helpless look on your face. It really excites me!”

Ma Cheng laughed wildly, basking in his sense of revenge. As his laughter continued, his expression gradually turned sinister.

His gaze then fell on Du Ruyan. “Xu Shaochen, your woman’s quite pretty. I wonder how she feels in bed. I bet it’ll feel amazing.”

Du Ruyan’s face turned pale with fear, her body trembling.

“Ma Cheng, you’re asking for death!” Xu Shaochen spat the words through gritted teeth.

Ma Cheng sneered, “Break one of his legs first.”

“Third Young Master, why bother? Just shoot him dead.”

One of the gunmen immediately pressed his gun against Xu Shaochen’s head as he spoke.

Ma Cheng’s face changed, shouting, “What are you doing?! You’re not following my orders! Put that gun down!”

He hadn’t planned to kill Xu Shaochen since he knew once Xu was dead, his own life in Jiangzhou would be forfeit.

His plan was simply to humiliate and avenge, and then take him hostage to escape.

But now, his worry grew that his men might not listen to his orders.

“Third Young Master, don’t worry. We’re the ones pulling the trigger. It won’t come back on you!”

The gunman spoke matter-of-factly.

“You’re out of line! Put that gun down! Big Brother told you to follow my orders in Jiangzhou!”

Ma Cheng, now panicking, yelled hysterically at the gunmen.

“Young Master, the Eldest Young Master sent us to help you get revenge. The best way to do that is to kill him.”

The leading gunman coldly replied, his gun still pressed against Xu Shaochen’s forehead, with a fleeting look of contempt towards Ma Cheng.

What an idiot!

The Eldest Young Master knew a long time ago that Xu Shaochen was backing the Second Young Master.

This order was simply to kill Xu and let Ma Cheng take the fall.

Yet, here he is, naively thinking we’re here to help him seek revenge. How utterly ridiculous!

Tap tap tap tap…

Just then, Long Yi and Long Er, along with other bodyguards of the wealthy guests, rushed in.

But seeing the situation, no one dared to make a move.

After all, the lead gunman still had his weapon aimed at Xu Shaochen’s head.

Any rash actions could get Xu killed, and no one here could shoulder that responsibility.

“Idiot! Can’t you see? If you kill him now, how do we get out of here?!”

Ma Cheng, teeth grinding, yelled at the gunman while glancing at Long Yi and the bodyguards.
