Chapter 757: Gathering at Meilan Tonight
by xennovelThe Xiao Family residence.
“Young Master, that Deng fellow is hiding in the hospital and won’t come out. Plus, he has quite a few people there. We simply can’t do anything about it.”
The Xiao Family bodyguard said to Xiao Huang with a helpless expression.
After all, they couldn’t possibly storm the hospital. They didn’t have the guts for that.
Although it was a private hospital, the flow of people was still high. If something went wrong, they couldn’t cover it up.
Xiao Huang’s face remained calm as he said coolly: “Are you stupid?”
“If he’s hiding inside, then find a way to lure him out. His family is in the Northwest, understand? He can’t move freely in Jingcheng, but can’t he outside of it?”
In reality, he wasn’t in a hurry. He didn’t care whether Deng Tianwen lived or died, though dead would be better.
He only cared about how far his experiment had progressed.
If it weren’t for that useless Xiao Ye being such an eyesore, he should be the one holding the fort now.
He himself should be quietly keeping an eye on his experimental project in the background.
What a pity. That person was living so well, why did he suddenly become so annoying?
Forcing him to kill him.
And that useless Xiao Yan, serves him right to die with eyes open.
Damn, now all sorts of messed-up things were piling up on his head.
“Yes, Young Master. I know what to do now.”
The bodyguard responded respectfully.
“You know what to do, so why aren’t you getting out of here to do it? What are you standing here for? Waiting for me to treat you to dinner?”
Xiao Huang looked up to see the bodyguard still standing there and immediately berated him, feeling irritable.
Ever since Xu Shaochen had crippled his right hand, he found it increasingly difficult to calm his mind.
“Yes, yes.”
The bodyguard nodded repeatedly, then turned and left quickly.
Thinking of Xu Shaochen, Xiao Huang’s gaze fell on his right hand, still wrapped in bandages, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:
“This is all thanks to you. Everyone else might not need to die, but you certainly can’t be allowed to live.”
He swore silently. Didn’t Xu Shaochen care a lot about his woman?
When the time came, he would definitely humiliate and toy with his woman right in front of Xu Shaochen. He wanted to make him feel agonized and furious, yet helpless to do anything but watch.
Thinking about the excitement of such revenge, Xiao Huang’s face involuntarily broke into a fierce grin.
“Young Master? Young Master?”
A bodyguard walked in, calling out to Xiao Huang several times, feeling that the smile on his face was somewhat creepy.
“What is it?”
It took Xiao Huang a while to react. He composed his expression and looked at the bodyguard with displeasure.
Damn, he was just fantasizing about getting revenge on Xu Shaochen, and he got interrupted like this.
“Young Master, the Meilan clubhouse has moved up the boxing match scheduled for the end of the month to tonight. They also said this might be Meilan’s last boxing match from now on. Will you be going?”
The bodyguard asked cautiously, seeing that Xiao Huang didn’t seem very happy.
Xiao Huang didn’t answer immediately, but instead frowned suspiciously and asked, “Who told you this?”
In these troubled times, being naturally suspicious, he couldn’t help but feel wary of such unusual circumstances.
“Young Master, it’s an invitation sent by Meilan. They’ve invited all of Meilan’s regular guests.”
The bodyguard quickly handed over an exquisite and luxurious invitation.
“Damn it, why didn’t you say so earlier!”
Xiao Huang snatched the invitation, cursing impatiently. His suspicions were instantly dispelled.
Since it was an invitation from Meilan, there surely wouldn’t be any problems.
After all, Meilan couldn’t possibly harbor ill intentions towards him.
If Meilan really had bad intentions, they would have had 100 chances to mess with him before.
Moreover, Meilan had a powerful background. No one dared to cause trouble there, making it a relatively safe place.
“Young Master, so are we going tonight or not?”
The bodyguard asked.
“Go, of course we’re going. Meilan’s last boxing match, I definitely can’t miss it.”
As Xiao Huang spoke, he had already opened the invitation and started reading. It explained the reason for canceling future boxing matches.
It was because people often died in the boxing matches, and recently the scrutiny had been increasing. To avoid unnecessary trouble, this bloody event was being canceled.
Xiao Huang didn’t find anything wrong with this reason.
In his view, for Meilan to have reached this point in a place like Jingcheng was already quite impressive.
Scaling back now was completely understandable.
He just wondered if that mysterious boss behind Meilan would make an appearance tonight.
…
Hotel room.
In the living room.
Xu Shaochen sat at the head, followed by Chen Ju, Zhao Li, and Liang Huan.
“I want to make a move against the Xiao Family. I hope the three of you here can lend me a hand.”
Xu Shaochen spoke very politely. After all, with things like helping out, if it wasn’t done willingly, reluctant assistance could easily mess things up.
The three exchanged glances. Zhao Li and Liang Huan immediately declared without hesitation: “Don’t worry, Young Master Xu. We are like guns in your hands. We’ll shoot wherever you point, without the slightest hesitation.”
They were already tied to Xu Shaochen’s wagon and had no room to refuse. So they might as well agree cleanly and decisively.
Xu Shaochen looked at Chen Ju.
Chen Ju smiled bitterly: “Young Master Xu, personally, I’d be very willing to help you. However, with such a large family in the Chen household, it’s not up to me to make decisions yet. So I hope Young Master Xu can understand.”
“I understand, but in my plan, the Chen Family was supposed to be the main force,” Xu Shaochen said seriously.
Chen Ju sighed: “Since Young Master Xu has put it this way, what else can I say? I can only go back and do my best to facilitate this matter.”
He paused for a moment before continuing: “I estimate there shouldn’t be much of a problem. After all, the Old Master is still around, and he trusts you very much.”
Xu Shaochen nodded: “Great favors need no thanks. I won’t say any polite words. Saying too much might sound fake.”
“Young Master Xu, then I’ll go back first to advocate on your behalf.”
Chen Ju stood up to take his leave.
“I’ll see you out.”
Xu Shaochen escorted Chen Ju out of the room.
“Young Master Xu, do you have any other instructions for us?”
Zhao Li and Liang Huan looked at Xu Shaochen.
“Tonight, take some men and surround the Meilan clubhouse, but make sure to stay hidden. Don’t let anyone notice.”
Xu Shaochen spoke to the two with a solemn expression, letting them understand the seriousness of the matter.
The two nodded: “Don’t worry, Young Master Xu. Unless you say so, we guarantee not even a fly will escape from Meilan.”
“Alright, go prepare. Tonight might be a bit busy.”
Xu Shaochen waved his hand, dismissing the two.
“Then, Young Master Xu, we’ll take our leave.”
The two exchanged a glance, stood up, said goodbye to Xu Shaochen, and left together.
Xu Shaochen still got up to see them off, after all, he had just escorted Chen Ju. He couldn’t let Zhao Li and Liang Huan feel a difference in treatment.
