Chapter Index

    “What!”

    Chen Dongqiu looked at Zhao Ling in disbelief upon hearing her words his heart filled with shock and anger: “Have you gone mad?”

    He hadn’t expected Zhao Ling to do such a thing it was simply insane as if she had a death wish.

    “How am I mad! You actually hit me for a man he deserves to die! I only had someone break one of his legs that’s already showing mercy for your sake!”

    Zhao Ling said righteously then glared at Long Yi with venomous eyes: “Didn’t he tell you to teach me a lesson? I’d like to see what you dare do to me!”

    “Since you didn’t plan to cripple my boss I naturally have to cripple you.” Long Yi said calmly walking towards Zhao Ling step by step.

    Chen Dongqiu’s face changed quickly stopping Long Yi: “Brother listen to me I’ll contact Mr. Xu right away can you give me face?”

    Although he was also annoyed with Zhao Ling she had come with him if something happened he couldn’t explain it to Zhao Ling’s father.

    “Mr. Chen I’m eating from my boss’s bowl of course I have to follow his orders you’re putting me in a difficult position.”

    Long Yi stopped looking at Chen Dongqiu expressionlessly.

    Although Chen Dongqiu’s bodyguards were just outside he wasn’t afraid at all.

    Because he had his own confidence.

    This confidence came from Xu Shaochen behind him and his own strength.

    “Brother Qiu move aside I want to see what he can do to me if I lose even a finger my dad will turn all of Jiangzhou upside down!”

    Zhao Ling’s voice was shrill as she looked at Long Yi with disdain showing no respect for him.

    To be precise she showed no respect for Xu Shaochen behind him.

    Just a nobody if it weren’t for Chen Dongqiu’s sake she could have had Xu Shaochen killed tonight.

    “Shut up!”

    Chen Dongqiu shouted angrily grinding his teeth: “Do you think your dad is omnipotent? You’re going to get your father killed!”

    Zhao Ling sneered indifferently not bothering to argue with Chen Dongqiu.

    “Brother I’m calling Mr. Xu right now give me one minute just one minute please I’m begging you brother.”

    After scolding Zhao Ling Chen Dongqiu took a deep breath and continued pleading with Long Yi.

    Long Yi frowned then said: “Go ahead and call.”

    “Phew~”

    Chen Dongqiu sighed in relief: “Thank you thank you brother I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

    After saying this he hurriedly took out his Phone and dialed Xu Shaochen’s number.

    “Ring~ Ring~”

    Listening to the busy tone from the Phone Chen Dongqiu felt extremely anxious.

    Finally the call connected and Chen Dongqiu said urgently: “Mr. Xu listen to me…”

    “Dongqiu if you’re calling to plead for that woman don’t bother.” Before Chen Dongqiu could finish Xu Shaochen interrupted him: “In Jiangzhou someone stops me Xu Shaochen and threatens to break my leg. Tell me does this mean I’m not capable or that some people are tired of living?”

    “Dongqiu I’m giving you face otherwise do you think you could even make this call today? Moreover if it weren’t for your sake do you think that woman would have a chance to leave Jiangzhou alive?”

    “Now I’m just teaching her a lesson that’s all she should be grateful at least she’s still alive.”

    “Since I’ve given you face you shouldn’t take me for a fool right? That’s not good don’t you think?”

    Xu Shaochen’s tone was very calm as if he was just chatting with an old friend but his words carried an inherent strength that left no room for argument.

    Chen Dongqiu had a lot to say but couldn’t get the words out his face alternating between pale and flushed as he held the Phone.

    Suddenly Zhao Ling snatched his Phone and said coldly:

    “Let me tell you I’m the one who ordered someone to cripple you what can you do to me? Do you dare do anything? Do you know whose daughter I am!”

    “At least you’re not my daughter.”

    Xu Shaochen said casually then hung up the Phone.

    Since she wasn’t his daughter whether she died or was crippled he didn’t care at all.

    Hearing the busy tone from the Phone Zhao Ling was so angry her nose almost twisted: “Damn bastard what an ignorant piece of trash I definitely won’t let him off!”

    “Slap!”

    Chen Dongqiu backhanded her with a slap: “Are you fucking crazy! Haven’t you caused enough trouble already!”

    “Mr. Chen you’ve made the call now you can’t put me in a difficult position right?” Long Yi said looking at Chen Dongqiu.

    Chen Dongqiu’s face was indecisive finally he took a deep breath and said to Long Yi: “Brother she’s a woman breaking her arms or legs is too much just cut off a finger that’s enough.”

    “Brother Qiu!” Zhao Ling looked at Chen Dongqiu in disbelief she hadn’t expected Chen Dongqiu to let someone cut off her finger.

    “Shut up!”

    Chen Dongqiu shouted angrily he was trying to save Zhao Ling otherwise she would definitely face broken arms or legs today.

    Long Yi raised an eyebrow looking at Chen Dongqiu with cold eyes: “Mr. Chen aren’t you being a bit too presumptuous?”

    “Thud!”

    Chen Dongqiu without hesitation knelt in front of Long Yi giving him a heavy kowtow:

    “Brother I’m begging you I’ll give Mr. Xu an explanation Zhao Ling came with me no matter what I have a responsibility to protect her.”

    Although he didn’t like Zhao Ling at this moment he still did his best sacrificing his own dignity to protect her.

    “Brother Qiu.”

    Zhao Ling looked at Chen Dongqiu with a complex expression but her hatred for Xu Shaochen deepened in her heart it was all because of Xu Shaochen.

    If it weren’t for him how could Chen Dongqiu do something as humiliating as kneeling to someone.

    She would always blame others for her mistakes never thinking it could be her own fault.

    Long Yi looked at Chen Dongqiu with a complex expression without another word he grabbed Zhao Ling’s hand and forcefully bent one of her fingers.

    “Crack!”

    “Ahhhh!”

    Along with a crisp sound Zhao Ling let out a heart-wrenching scream her face turning pale as tears streamed down her face from the pain.

    “You’re half a man I’ll take the punishment from the boss myself you don’t need to see him.”

    Long Yi coldly said to Chen Dongqiu then turned and walked out of the private room.

    The reason he said Chen Dongqiu was half a man was because he dared to protect Zhao Ling even willing to kneel to protect her.

    But he didn’t dare to firmly stand against Xu Shaochen so he could only be considered half a man.

    However being called half a man by Long Yi was already quite a high evaluation.

    To be honest even Xu Shaochen as his boss was only considered half a man in his eyes.

    In his view anyone afraid of death wasn’t a real man.

    Well this was truly the mindset of a real macho man.
