Chapter Index

    Xu Shaochen’s gaze fell on the two people on the ground.

    The two immediately stiffened their bodies and said with trembling voices:

    “Young Master Xu… please spare us. We… we really didn’t know.”

    “So? So you think you can bully people just because you have someone backing you?” Xu Shaochen asked expressionlessly.

    The two hurriedly shook their heads: “No… it’s not like that…”

    They instinctively wanted to explain and make excuses but in their panic couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

    “They’re your men. How you discipline them is up to you. Just make sure I’m satisfied.”

    Xu Shaochen withdrew his gaze and said to Xie Tianyu.

    Xie Tianyu inwardly sighed. He dreaded hearing words like these the most.

    Saying to let him decide but then requiring satisfaction wasn’t that just putting him in a difficult position?

    At least he was often put in such situations so he had some experience.

    Xie Tianyu looked at the two with a cold face: “Go kneel on the opposite side of the street and slap each other. Stop when you’ve knocked out three teeth. I’ll come check the results later.”

    “Mr. Xie… please have mercy.”

    Hearing this both men looked at Xie Tianyu pitifully.

    The humiliation of kneeling and slapping each other on the main road was bad enough.

    The key was having to knock out three teeth. How painful would that be?

    “Don’t be ungrateful.”

    Xie Tianyu said word by word.

    The two shuddered and hurriedly nodded like pecking chickens: “Yes yes yes we’ll go right away right away.”

    Clearly they were still very afraid of Xie Tianyu.

    As soon as the words fell they scrambled across the street and knelt down.

    “Young Master Xu I’ll take you to see the boss now.”

    Xie Tianyu made a gesture of invitation towards Xu Shaochen.

    Xu Shaochen nodded and stepped into the Meilan clubhouse.

    On the side of the road.

    “Who do you think he is? In all this time I’ve never seen anyone Mr. Xie personally invited in to see the boss.”

    The bodyguard kneeling on the right said watching Xu Shaochen’s back as he entered Meilan.

    “Who cares who he is. He’s someone we can’t afford to offend. Let’s just start slapping. Kneeling here is like being on display.”

    The bodyguard on the left said.

    “Let’s both hit lightly. Knocking out teeth directly would be too painful. We can go to a dentist across the street later to get them pulled with anesthetic.”

    The bodyguard on the right turned his body kneeling face to face with the one on the left.

    “Alright I’ll go first.”

    The bodyguard on the left nodded and as soon as he finished speaking he slapped the other.

    “Slap.”

    “Ah!”

    The bodyguard on the right covered his face and cried out in pain: “Didn’t we say to hit lightly? Why so hard?”

    “I thought that was light.” The bodyguard on the left looked innocent.

    The bodyguard on the right gritted his teeth and said: “Then you try it and see.”

    As soon as he finished speaking he raised his hand and slapped.

    “Slap!”

    “Ah! You did that on purpose!” The bodyguard on the left covered his face and said.

    The bodyguard on the right cursed: “Fuck! Don’t tell me you weren’t doing it on purpose earlier. I knew you didn’t like me and were taking the chance to get revenge!”

    “Slap!”

    “Screw you!”

    “Slap!”

    “Let’s see who’s afraid of who!”

    “…”

    The two who had originally agreed to hit lightly now both saw red. Each slap was harder than the last until they even started jumping up to hit each other.

    After just a few slaps both had already lost two or three teeth.

    But they didn’t stop there. Instead they escalated from slapping to punching and kicking fighting on the side of the road.

    Xu Shaochen of course knew nothing of what was happening outside.

    He was now back in the same suite as last night.

    Sitting in the same spot as before he saw Tang Silin.

    Unlike last time when Long Er was present this time the large room held only the two of them.

    Today Tang Silin wore a tight-fitting leather outfit that perfectly accentuated her graceful figure. With her long flowing hair and bright red lips she looked both stylish and sexy.

    “Young Master Xu I was just about to go for a ride. I didn’t expect you to come.”

    Tang Silin pointed at a helmet nearby and said calmly to Xu Shaochen.

    “I didn’t know Miss Tang had this hobby.” Xu Shaochen touched the helmet. No wonder this woman was dressed like this. She was preparing to go racing and on a motorcycle at that.

    Tang Silin smiled faintly: “I enjoy the pursuit of speed.”

    “On the contrary I don’t like chasing speed on a motorcycle. I prefer things to last longer.” Xu Shaochen looked at her with an ambiguous smile speaking with double meaning.

    Tang Silin’s expression didn’t change as she said calmly: “Since Young Master Xu doesn’t like riding motorcycles perhaps he’d like to ride something else. As it happens I’d like to see if Young Master’s pursuit of longevity is really as impressive as claimed.”

    “Hahaha Miss Tang do you know it’s really no fun joking with someone like you.”

    Xu Shaochen laughed heartily. This woman was very beautiful but as he said he couldn’t muster any interest in that regard.

    Because he felt this woman was too cold and her words and actions were more masculine than a man’s. It would be strange if Xu Shaochen could get interested.

    “So did Young Master come specially today to joke around?” Tang Silin said.

    “I believe you know what happened outside.” Xu Shaochen picked up his Teacup moistened his throat and continued “Didn’t you want to cooperate? Today I’ll give you a definite answer. We can cooperate. I’ll handle the Xiao Family you take care of Xiao Huang.”

    “Alright.”

    Just as Xu Shaochen said this woman was well aware of everything outside so she agreed without hesitation.

    “However I’d like to know how you plan to deal with him?”

    Xu Shaochen revealed a curious look.

    “Tonight Meilan has moved up the boxing match scheduled for the end of the month just for him. When he shows up I’ll make my move.”

    If not for her wariness of the Xiao Family Tang Silin would have dealt with Xiao Huang long ago.

    The main goal was to retrieve the item from Xiao Huang killing him wasn’t the primary objective.

    “I’ll come tonight too.”

    Xu Shaochen said with a smile.

    Tang Silin frowned slightly but quickly covered it up nodding expressionlessly: “As you wish.”

    If she refused it might make Xu Shaochen suspicious as the foundation of their cooperation wasn’t that solid to begin with.

    So she could only agree and figure out how to handle it later.

    Unfortunately she didn’t know that whether she refused or not Xu Shaochen had already begun to suspect her motives for dealing with Xiao Huang weren’t pure.

    “See you tonight.”

    Xu Shaochen put down his Teacup and stood up to leave.

    Just as he took a step he suddenly bent down close to Tang Silin almost face to face.

    Tang Silin felt a bit flustered her heart in her throat. Strongly suppressing her disgust for men she pretended to be nonchalant and said:

    “What Young Master Xu is really so eager to try riding already?”
