Chapter Index

    “Hehe, you’re still threatening me even when you’re on the brink of death? What, are you forcing me to kill you?”

    Though the young man was smiling, his eyes were frighteningly cold. The cigar in his mouth flickered with embers.

    He was none other than Zhou Jie.

    “Threatening you? You… just try it.”

    Deng Tianwen said in a hoarse voice. He wasn’t joking; when had he ever endured such torment?

    He swore!

    If he could leave here alive!

    He would immediately send people to Jingcheng and kill everyone!

    Zhou Jie spat his cigar on the ground, stood up and walked towards Deng Tianwen step by step. He beckoned, and one of the burly men handed him a club.

    “Threaten me?”

    Zhou Jie revealed a ferocious smile and swung the wooden club hard.

    “Bang!”

    The wooden club collided with Deng Tianwen’s body.

    “Ah! Puchi—”

    Deng Tianwen let out a miserable scream, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. Blood continued to seep from the corner of his mouth.

    “Come on, keep threatening me.”

    Zhou Jie shouted at Deng Tianwen, his eyes filled with a hint of morbid frenzy.

    “I… I’ll fuck your mother.”

    Deng Tianwen used all his strength to squeeze out these words through gritted teeth.

    This bastard’s single hit was more painful than ten hits from those two earlier. He could feel that one of his ribs must have been broken.

    “My mother? Sorry, I’m an orphan. If you can really bring her out, I wouldn’t mind letting you have a go.”

    Zhou Jie said with a laugh, as if talking about something unrelated to him. The wooden club in his hand swung down again.

    “Bang!” “Bang!”

    Deng Tianwen wanted to curse but couldn’t. The pain was so intense he couldn’t even catch his breath.

    This guy was beating him within an inch of his life.

    “Crash! Boom!”

    Just then, there was a loud noise.

    The door of the cold storage was smashed open by a Car.

    “Ah!”

    The two men guarding the entrance couldn’t escape and were sent flying.

    “Brother Zhou, someone’s here!”

    The seven remaining people in the cold storage, all armed with clubs, gathered around Zhou Jie.

    “I fucking know that!”

    Zhou Jie cursed in frustration.

    “Cripple them all!”

    “I don’t want to see anyone talking to me with two intact legs!”

    Xu Shaochen said coldly as he opened the Car door and got out!

    As soon as he finished speaking, over thirty people rushed in, filling half of the cold storage.

    At the entrance, four bodyguards stood guard with guns, ready to shoot anyone who tried to escape.

    “Kang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

    “Ah! Stop beating!”

    “Please…”

    In an instant, the entire cold storage was filled with the sounds of gunshots, clubs hitting flesh, screams, and pleas for mercy.

    Five minutes later.

    Including Zhou Jie and the two who were sent flying earlier, a total of ten people lay twitching on the ground, their faces covered in blood.

    These people had injuries of varying severity.

    But they all had one thing in common: both of their legs had been brutally broken.

    “Beat… beat him to death.”

    Deng Tianwen, supported by someone, pointed at Zhou Jie on the ground and said through gritted teeth.

    “Kill him then.”

    Xu Shaochen waved his hand and said calmly.

    From the moment he saw Zhou Jie, he remembered that this guy was the one following Xiao Huang.

    Although there were many people around Xiao Huang in the private room of the courtyard house, Xu Shaochen’s memory was always good, so he recognized him after a careful look.

    Ordinary people don’t have this ability. For example, Deng Tianwen didn’t recognize him.

    Zhou Jie was a bit stunned. He didn’t expect Xu Shaochen to not ask him anything, or even have any communication with him.

    “I…”

    Just as he was about to speak, countless clubs came crashing down on him.

    After a full ten minutes of beating, Zhou Jie died amid the whistling of clubs.

    “Let your men handle the rest.”

    Xu Shaochen said to Chen Ju.

    Chen Ju waved his hand, leaving a few bodyguards behind, then followed Xu Shaochen out of the cold storage.

    “The Xiao Family has a lot of influence in Jingcheng.”

    Chen Ju said, which was equivalent to subtly reminding Xu Shaochen to avoid direct confrontation if possible.

    Liang Huan and Zhao Li exchanged glances but didn’t say anything. They had no choice. If Xu Shaochen were to openly confront the Xiao Family, they could only follow him to the bitter end.

    Deng Tianwen reacted when he heard this: “The one called Xiao Huang?”

    Xu Shaochen nodded. Zhou Jie was his man, and just as he came to Jingcheng, he was targeted by him. Who else could it be besides him?

    But what he didn’t understand was, he didn’t seem to have offended him, right? He had even heard this name for the first time.

    However, none of this mattered now. At this point, Xu Shaochen only wanted to kill him or be killed by him.

    A cold glint flashed in Deng Tianwen’s eyes: “Even the King of Heaven would die if stabbed. He only has one life. I almost lost mine, why should he live so comfortably?”

    After saying this, he looked at Xu Shaochen: “Lend me your Phone.”

    Xu Shaochen guessed what he wanted to do but didn’t stop him. They were all adults and knew the consequences of their actions.

    Moreover, Deng Tianwen’s anger and hatred were at their peak now, and there was no way to dissuade him.

    Deng Tianwen took the Phone and dialed a number: “Bring people to Jingcheng. Just bring your own men, all of them, to Jingcheng. Enter the city in batches.”

    After saying this, he hung up the Phone and immediately passed out.

    He had been beaten for so long and was only held up by his rage and hatred.

    “Let’s take him to the hospital first.”

    Xu Shaochen and the others clumsily helped Deng Tianwen into the Car, then headed towards the hospital.

    An hour later.

    Hospital.

    “Doctor, how is he?”

    Seeing Deng Tianwen being pushed out of the operating room, Hou Xiaoyan rushed over immediately.

    It was Xu Shaochen who had called her here, after all, Deng Tianwen’s subsequent recovery would need someone to take care of him.

    “May I ask if you are the patient’s…”

    “I’m his girlfriend.”

    Before the doctor could finish speaking, Hou Xiaoyan blurted out.

    Unfortunately, Deng Tianwen was unconscious and couldn’t hear this. Otherwise, he would have been so happy he’d jump up.

    Luckily, Xu had the foresight to start recording on his Phone as soon as the doctor asked Hou Xiaoyan.

    “The patient has three broken ribs, which have been set. He needs to rest quietly for recovery. His internal organs have also suffered minor injuries. He mustn’t get too emotional. The rest are just some external injuries.”

    The doctor took off his mask and explained Deng Tianwen’s condition to Hou Xiaoyan.

    After hearing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

    After all, Deng Tianwen’s condition had looked quite scary earlier, with blood all over his body.

    “Young Master Xu, the matter at the cold storage has been settled.”

    Chen Ju walked over to Xu Shaochen after hanging up a Phone call.

    Xiao Huang’s side didn’t dare to pursue the matter, and Xu Shaochen’s side didn’t want to investigate further. After all, if the Police got serious, both parties would be in a difficult position.

    So, with both parties tacitly agreeing, and given that the on-site evidence had been destroyed, even if they wanted to investigate, there was no way to start.
