Chapter Index

    Xiao Ye felt the sky was exceptionally clear today.

    The people left in the hospital were all his men, and the scapegoat was prepared. Everything had nothing to do with him.

    The reason he personally killed someone was simply because of his severe paranoia. He didn’t trust anyone else to do such a thing.

    The scapegoat was one of his bodyguards who would use a handkerchief to smother Xiao Yan’s corpse after he left.

    Then, according to the planned scenario, he would be “coincidentally” discovered by a janitor coming to clean, try to escape, and end up being caught by the bodyguards outside.

    As for the motive for murder, it was because Xiao Yan had once humiliated him, so he harbored resentment. Seeing Xiao Yan unable to move, he acted on his evil impulse.

    Everything was so perfect that no one would suspect him.

    He would always be that outstanding eldest young master of the Xiao Family. How could he possibly kill his own younger brother with his own hands?

    A pleased smile spread across Xiao Ye’s lips as he walked towards his Car parked by the roadside.

    He opened the Car door and sat in the driver’s seat.

    Just as he was about to close the door, something unexpected happened.

    “Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…”

    Two people wearing baseball caps and masks rushed over, repeatedly pulling their triggers at him.

    Xiao Ye had no time to react before he was riddled with bullets. The hand he had placed on the Car door fell limp.

    Blood kept pouring from his mouth, his eyes filled with shock and unwillingness.

    “Ahhhh!”

    “Murder! Murder!”

    Chaos erupted instantly at the hospital entrance, with screams ringing out everywhere.

    The two shooters didn’t rush to flee. Instead, they walked to Xiao Ye’s Car with their guns.

    “Young Master, the Third Young Master sends his regards.”

    “The Third Young Master said, madmen aren’t scary. What’s scary are those who think they’re clever and treat others like fools. Such people are terrifyingly stupid.”

    Hearing this, Xiao Ye’s eyes widened. He struggled to say, “He… he dares…”

    “Bang! Bang!”

    The two shooters didn’t respond. They raised their guns and fired two more shots into his chest, then hid their guns in their jackets and turned to leave unhurriedly.

    In the Car, Xiao Ye’s chest was completely dyed red with blood, but he hadn’t died yet.

    His mind flashed back to the look in Xiao Yan’s eyes when he smothered him to death in the hospital room earlier.

    This must be karma?

    He had just killed his second brother, and in the blink of an eye, he was gunned down by his third brother’s men.

    Thinking about it, the most foolish ones over all these years were actually him and Xiao Yan.

    Xiao Huang was the one who had hidden his true nature the deepest.

    Xiao Ye’s lips struggled to form a self-mocking smile as he breathed his last.

    In one day, the two most outstanding sons of the Xiao Family in others’ eyes had died.

    Sheng Qin Group.

    Xu Shaochen and Liang Chuan had reached a pleasant cooperation.

    In the end, it was still Jiang Yaohai who escorted Xu Shaochen out of the Sheng Qin Group’s company building.

    “What are you still doing here?”

    Seeing Wang Xun, both Xu Shaochen and Jiang Yaohai were stunned, feeling surprised.

    “Hmph! What am I doing? Waiting for you, of course. I’m telling you, if you’ve got the guts, don’t leave. I’m going to make you pay blood for blood today!”

    Wang Xun angrily threw his cigarette butt on the ground, glaring at Xu Shaochen with gritted teeth.

    “Damn idiot.”

    Xu Shaochen cursed, not bothering to waste time with him. He lifted his leg and walked towards the Car by the road.

    “Stop right there!”

    Wang Xun quickly stepped forward, blocking Xu Shaochen’s path.

    Of course, he couldn’t let Xu Shaochen leave.

    Long Yi and Long Er, who were in the Car by the road, saw this scene, exchanged glances, and got out of the Car to run over.

    “Vroom vroom vroom…”

    Just then, the roar of engines was heard, and two black Mercedes stopped nearby.

    Immediately after, the Car doors opened, and Zhao Li stepped out with several bodyguards.

    Zhao Li quickened his pace when he saw Xu Shaochen.

    The moment he saw Zhao Li, Wang Xun was overjoyed. He quickly shouted, pointing at Xu Shaochen:

    “Young Master Zhao, it’s him! It’s him. You must get justice for me! I want to make him knock his head on the floor tiles until they crack!”

    Both Zhao Li and Xu Shaochen were stunned. They looked at each other, then turned to Wang Xun.

    Wang Xun was still immersed in the joy of imminent revenge on Xu Shaochen, looking at him viciously: “Damn, kid. Weren’t you so arrogant just now? Today, I’ll teach you what it means to have a new height to climb.”

    “What do you plan to do?” Xu Shaochen asked with a smile, silently mourning for this idiot for three minutes.

    Wang Xun snorted coldly, turning back to look at Zhao Li and said, “Young Master Zhao, let’s beat him up first. Beat him until he begs for mercy.”

    “Alright, let’s beat him up then.”

    Zhao Li nodded. Damn, how could this idiot actually help him seek revenge on Xu Shaochen? What was he thinking?

    As soon as Zhao Li’s words fell, his bodyguards swarmed forward and started beating Wang Xun violently.

    They all knew Xu Shaochen, so they naturally knew who Zhao Li meant to beat.

    “Ah! What are you doing! You’ve got it wrong, it’s not me, it’s not me! You’ve got it wrong, please stop, stop beating me.”

    Wang Xun was completely dumbfounded. He curled up on the ground, covering his head, screaming non-stop, which eventually turned into pleas.

    “Alright, that’s enough. Stop.”

    Zhao Li called for a halt.

    “Young Master Zhao… why… why did you beat me?”

    Wang Xun lay on the ground, looking at Zhao Li tearfully, truly not knowing why he was beaten.

    “Why? If I don’t beat you, who should I beat? Beat him? Do you know who he is? He’s the young director of the Xu Corporation. Even if you gave me the courage to commit suicide, I wouldn’t dare to beat him.”

    Zhao Li shook his head, sighing helplessly, feeling speechless about this fool.

    “Xu… Xu Corporation…”

    Wang Xun’s face instantly turned pale, his speech becoming slurred, and large beads of cold sweat seeped from his swollen forehead.

    He now understood why Liang Chuan and the others were so polite to Xu Shaochen.

    He felt like crying now. He had already dodged a bullet, so why did he have to seek death again?

    “Young Master Xu, what do you think we should do?”

    Zhao Li looked towards Xu Shaochen.

    Xu Shaochen looked down at Wang Xun condescendingly.

    Wang Xun suddenly shuddered, forcing a smile on his face that looked worse than crying: “Young… Young Master Xu… I truly know my mistake this time. Please forgive me.”

    “How about this, I won’t call for you to be beaten or killed. Let’s do something more civilized, shall we? You do a horse stance. Jiang Yaohai will stay here to watch. Once you’ve held it for three hours, he’ll let you go.”

    Xu Shaochen said in a gentle tone.

    “Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Young Master Xu. Thank you for your mercy, Young Master Xu.”

    Wang Xun was overjoyed. Just doing a horse stance, how simple.

    “Mm, I look forward to your performance.”

    Xu Shaochen nodded, then got into Zhao Li’s Car and left.

    Half an hour later…

    Wang Xun was crying while holding the stance, tears streaming down his face. He looked at Jiang Yaohai and said, “Brother Hai, please help me.”

    “No can do. I don’t have that courage. You’d better just keep holding the stance.”

    Jiang Yaohai ate ice cream, looking at Wang Xun who was drenched in sweat and trembling, feeling utterly delighted.
