Chapter 671: Raging Fury Xu Shaochen
by xennovel“Third Young Master, a real man isn’t afraid of death!”
The leader of the shooters spoke decisively.
The four of them were the Eldest Brother’s trusted men. They came ready to die.
Anyway, if they died, the Eldest Brother would ensure their families were taken care of.
They had to kill Xu Shaochen.
If Xu Shaochen supported the Eldest Brother, how could he compete with the Second Brother?
As for Ma Cheng, he was just a scapegoat.
“Damn it! Bastards!”
Ma Cheng cursed angrily. They weren’t scared of death, but he was terrified! He had finally realized something was wrong now. These guys never intended to follow his orders.
But he couldn’t believe his Big Brother had set him up.
After all, since they were little, he had been closest to his Big Brother.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, Xu Shaochen, who had been waiting for a chance, exploded into action, punching the shooter’s wrist.
“Ah!”
The shooter cried out as his handgun fell to the ground.
With lightning-fast reflexes, Xu Shaochen grabbed the gun and fired at another shooter nearby.
“Bang!”
Since they were close, Xu Shaochen’s shot was accurate, hitting the shooter square in the chest. He fell to the floor.
The two bodyguards at the door had been ready to shoot ever since Xu Shaochen made his move, but Long Yi and Long Er tackled them to the ground.
Quickly, other guards from the wealthy guests rushed in, easily controlling the two.
Seeing all this, Ma Cheng, who stood at the door, turned pale with shock and instinctively tried to run.
“Bang!”
He barely took a step before one of the bodyguards kicked him back.
“Ah!”
Ma Cheng screamed as he smashed hard onto the smooth floor.
Liao Zhengli angrily dialed the Police station’s number: “This is Liao Zhengli. Get me a team at Jiangzhou Grand Hotel immediately! If I don’t see anyone within ten minutes, you can go sell sweet potatoes!”
Tonight, he was furious, almost to the point of bursting.
Who was he? The top man in Jiangzhou!
And yet, at the reception he hosted, criminals barged in with guns, attempting murder.
This jeopardized his own safety and it was a slap in the face, loud and clear. How could he tolerate this?
“Third Young Master Ma, I’d promised your Second Brother I’d try to spare your life, but now it seems I’ll have to break that promise.”
Xu Shaochen looked down at Ma Cheng coldly, his gaze indifferent, as if he were staring at a dead man.
“Xu… Xu Shaochen, please let me go! I beg you, for the sake of my Second Brother, give me a way out!”
Ma Cheng pleaded bitterly as he looked at Xu Shaochen. He had been completely screwed over by the four shooters tonight.
“Do you think that’s possible?”
Xu Shaochen sneered, then squatted down beside him, lowering his voice: “You’ll be locked up in prison, but I’ll make sure you die there.”
“Xu… Brother Xu, please, I beg you to let me go! Spare me!”
Ma Cheng was so terrified he wet himself. He knew Xu Shaochen definitely had the power to make him silently disappear in prison.
But Ma Cheng didn’t want to die. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have plotted to use Xu Shaochen as a hostage to escape Jiangzhou.
“Whether you live or die isn’t for you to decide, it’s up to me.”
Xu Shaochen left this cold remark and ignored him.
Soon, the Police arrived. Ma Cheng and the four shooters were taken away.
Naturally, tonight’s reception had to end early. After such an incident, who still had the mood to enjoy fine wine?
Xu Shaochen took Du Ruyan home.
All the way back, his face remained icy cold, terrifyingly so.
He knew that there had to be someone else behind those four shooters.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have ignored Ma Cheng’s orders.
They had come for him, with the sole intent of killing him.
“Long Yi, arrange a meeting with those four shooters tomorrow.”
Xu Shaochen instructed Long Yi. The Police wouldn’t get much from those guys. The interrogation methods were too humanized.
Sometimes, you needed to use non-humane methods to get the answers you wanted.
“Yes, Boss.”
Long Yi responded. He knew Xu Shaochen was burning with rage inside.
“Were you scared tonight?”
Xu Shaochen asked Du Ruyan softly as he held her close.
Du Ruyan nodded. She was truly frightened tonight. It was the first time she had encountered something like this.
“This will never happen again.” Xu Shaochen promised, holding her tightly with determination.
Du Ruyan nodded again, gripping Xu Shaochen even tighter by the waist.
That night, Xu Shaochen received several calls.
All of them expressed concern for him.
Clearly, news of what happened at Jiangzhou Grand Hotel had spread quickly.
After all, there were too many people at the hotel that night.
……………
The next day.
Morning.
Xu Shaochen met the shooter who had held a gun to his head last night at the Police station.
This man was the leader of the four shooters.
“If you’re hoping to get something out of me, you’re wasting your time. I know nothing and won’t say anything.”
The middle-aged man sat casually across from Xu Shaochen, handcuffed, his attitude blatantly defiant.
Xu Shaochen sneered: “By saying that, aren’t you indirectly admitting there’s more to last night’s incident?”
The man’s face changed, and he fell silent.
“Now, tell me, who sent you to kill me?”
Xu Shaochen asked coldly.
“You already know—Third Young Master Ma Cheng.”
The middle-aged man answered without hesitation.
“Smack!”
Xu Shaochen slapped him hard across the face and said coldly: “Believe me when I say I could make you a cripple right now, and no Police officer would come in.”
“Heh, even if you beat me to death, my answer would remain the same.”
The middle-aged man sneered contemptuously, looking at Xu Shaochen with a defiant glare.
“Bang!”
Xu Shaochen grabbed the man’s head and slammed it onto the table, speaking chillingly: “Do you have a family or children? Do you think I have the power to find them?”
“Or do you think the person behind you can protect your family?”
“Do you know who I am? If I wanted to find your family, it would be a simple matter. Do you believe that?”
“What are you planning to do? My business is with me, leave my family out of it!” The middle-aged man’s face changed, and he became visibly agitated.
Xu Shaochen’s cold gaze remained: “I don’t want to do such things, but there are always people who don’t know their place, forcing me to lower my standards. And now, you’re one of them.”
“If you don’t speak, you’ll get news about your family’s sudden ‘accidents’ even before your trial. Don’t test my patience with your temper, understand?”
After that, Xu Shaochen let go of him, sat back down, and lit a cigarette.
“I’ll leave when I finish this cigarette. By then, you won’t even have the chance to regret it.”
