Chapter 68: Jump Down from Here

“Honestly, I really don’t want to argue with you.”

Xu Shaochen looked at Chen Song seriously as he said this.

“Hmph! Regretting it now? Looking for a way to back down? Let me tell you, it’s too late!”

As soon as Xu Shaochen’s words fell, Chen Song retorted without a second thought, glaring disdainfully at him.

Xu Shaochen didn’t pay him any mind and continued, “After all, people like you—complete idiots—are rare these days. They could charge admission for you at the zoo. Arguing with you might lead to the extinction of your species.”

Chen Song’s face turned green at those words. He initially thought Xu Shaochen was scared and wanted to surrender, but he never expected Xu Shaochen would insult him like that.

“Tap, tap, tap…”

At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard.

Han Tianxiong, with a pale-faced Han Feng, walked into the office.

Upon hearing that Xu Shaochen was in Zhao Qingyu’s office, Han Tianxiong came over immediately.

“Chairman Han, what brings you here? Rest assured, Young Master Han is doing very well at school—he’s shown exceptional performance. I was just about to nominate him as the next Student Council President.”

The moment Chen Song saw Han Tianxiong, a fawning smile immediately appeared on his face as he hurried over to greet him.

“Heh, you worthless trash arrived faster than I expected. If you didn’t come today, the Han Family would be the next Huang Family.”

Xu Shaochen looked at Han Feng and raised the corner of his mouth into a faint sneer.

“How dare you! Who allowed you to speak to Young Master Han like that? You must be tired of living!”

Before Han Tianxiong could say anything, Chen Song couldn’t wait to jump in, glaring harshly at Xu Shaochen.

Inside, Chen Song was already gloating, his eyes filled with schadenfreude. This kid really has a death wish, daring to insult Han Feng right in front of Han Tianxiong.

It looked like he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger; this kid would meet a terrible end on his own. Damn, when the time comes, I’ll have to really make Zhao Qingyu pay for this.

He could almost picture Xu Shaochen’s miserable fate—after all, no one who crossed Han Feng ever ended well.

Thoughts of this brought a glint of delight to Chen Song’s eyes, and he turned to Han Tianxiong, saying fawningly, “Chairman Han, rest assured, we will certainly deal severely with students of such poor character.”

After saying this, the smile on his face didn’t fade. He was waiting for the praise from Han Tianxiong.

“Slap!”

The next second, Han Tianxiong raised his hand and slapped Chen Song across the face, shouting angrily, “You’re the one who’s out of line! Who do you think you are, daring to scold Young Master Xu? Have you lost your mind!?”

Today, he had brought Han Feng here to beg for Xu Shaochen’s forgiveness. This idiot, Chen Song, was being ‘clever’—was he trying to get them all killed?!

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Chen Song was stunned. Why hadn’t he received any praise but rather a slap in the face?

And wait, did Han Tianxiong just call that kid ‘Young Master Xu’?

“Gulp~”

Chen Song swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, a bad premonition suddenly rising in his heart.

Han Tianxiong didn’t spare him another look but quickly walked up to Xu Shaochen and pointed at Chen Song, saying, “Young Master Xu, this man dared to speak unruly words to you. How do you think we should punish him?”

“Thud!”

Upon hearing these words, Chen Song was so scared his legs gave out, and he knelt on the ground, scrambling to crawl to Xu Shaochen, hugging his leg.

“Young Master Xu… Please spare me, Young Master Xu. Forgive me, I didn’t know! I didn’t know! It was my fault for not recognizing greatness, for being blinded by greed! Young Master Xu, please have mercy! Please!”

By now, it was obvious to him that he’d seriously misjudged the situation today.

Even Han Tianxiong was humble in front of Xu Shaochen, and yet he had the audacity to try to steal this man’s woman and plot revenge. Wasn’t that a death wish?

Thinking about the threats he’d just made to Xu Shaochen, he felt his scalp tingle. His face drained of all color, and sweat soaked the back of his shirt.

He was beyond regretful now.

If he had another chance, he’d strangle his past self.

“I really don’t like this person. Remember that—I don’t like him at all.”

Xu Shaochen sneered, then kicked Chen Song away and turned to Han Tianxiong, speaking in a calm tone.

“Chairman Han… Please, Chairman Han, save me!”

Chen Song hurriedly scrambled up from the floor, looking at Han Tianxiong with panic in his eyes while a faint trace of urine began to seep from his legs.

Han Tianxiong’s face alternated between light and dark as he looked at Chen Song. After a moment’s hesitation, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, saying, “Don’t worry, Young Master Xu. I’ll ensure he understands the consequences of crossing you.”

Xu Shaochen had just repeated, “I really don’t like him,” which meant his loathing for Chen Song was absolute.

To please Xu Shaochen, Han Tianxiong would personally deal with Chen Song. He wouldn’t kill Chen Song, but Chen Song’s fate wouldn’t be much better than death. Sometimes, living can be a fate worse than dying.

“Chairman Han, you can’t do this! Please, you can’t!”

Hearing these words, Chen Song seemed to have thought of something, and his face instantly changed color. He looked at Han Tianxiong and shouted with desperation.

“Don’t blame me—you offended someone you shouldn’t have.” Seeing the near-mad look in Chen Song’s eyes, Han Tianxiong remained expressionless. Damn it. How could he possibly safeguard his own life, let alone care about Chen Song’s?

“Teacher Zhao… Qingyu… please save me! Please, help me beg for mercy!”

Chen Song went mad and lunged towards Zhao Qingyu, bursting into tears and begging, hoping she could say a word in his defense.

However, Zhao Qingyu took a step back, biting her lip without saying a word. After all, she had heard the rumors of things Chen Song had done around the school.

That was one of the reasons she’d always rejected Chen Song. Now, it looked like this scum was about to receive his punishment; how could she possibly plead on his behalf? “Young Master Xu, please spare me! I’m begging you, Young Master Xu, please have mercy!”

Seeing that Zhao Qingyu was ignoring him, Chen Song became almost hopeless. Kneeling in front of Xu Shaochen, he repeatedly kowtowed. At this point, he would rather go to jail than end up in Han Tianxiong’s hands. Even if he survived, he’d be half-dead.

Because he knew too well the kinds of methods people like Han Tianxiong used.

When these businessmen got serious, they could make anyone’s skin crawl.

“Why bother? How about this—this is the fourth floor. It’s not too high, not too low. If you jump off from here and survive, I’ll let you go. How does that sound?”

Xu Shaochen squatted down, grabbed a fistful of Chen Song’s hair, yanked his head up, and smiled casually as he pointed out to the hallway outside the office.

Looking at the calm and collected Xu Shaochen, even Han Tianxiong felt a chill running down his spine, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

He was secretly glad he’d arrived quickly enough; otherwise, the Han Family would have been destroyed without even knowing why.
