Chapter 760: The Definition of Bargaining with a Tiger for Its Skin

“Snap!”

Xu Shaochen accurately grasped Xiao Huang’s right wrist, which was holding the fruit knife.

Then Xu Shaochen’s right hand suddenly twisted with force.

“Crack—”

A crisp sound rang out as Xiao Huang’s right hand instantly twisted and deformed. The fruit knife fell to the ground.

“Aaaargh!”

Xiao Huang let out a shrill scream. His face turned pale and his features contorted in pain.

“Bam!”

Xu Shaochen raised his foot and kicked out.

“Thud!”

Xiao Huang crashed into the table and fell heavily to the ground, blood constantly spilling from his mouth.

“Look at you lot, just a bunch of small fry. How come you have no self-awareness? You dare to attack me with such amateur skills?”

Xu Shaochen revealed a mocking smile, then released Tang Silin with his left hand.

“Go, kill him.”

Xu Shaochen pointed at the fruit knife on the ground and said to Tang Silin.

Tang Silin was stunned, not understanding what Xu Shaochen was up to.

Xu Shaochen took out his Phone, switched it to video mode, and said with a smirk: “He’s your enemy. I’m giving you a chance for revenge now. You wouldn’t refuse, would you?”

“Moreover, I really dislike being refused.”

Tang Silin instantly felt a surge of anger, her pretty face flushing red: “You’re despicable!”

If he controlled evidence of her killing Xiao Huang, wouldn’t she be at his mercy in the future?

She could now thoroughly understand what the phrase “bargaining with a tiger for its skin” meant.

Her cooperation with Xu Shaochen was like bargaining with a tiger for its skin, and now she had been bitten by the tiger.

“Miss Tang, call me despicable or dishonorable if you like. I’m just making the choice that benefits me the most.”

Xu Shaochen walked over and sat on the sofa, crossing his legs, speaking nonchalantly.

Tang Silin glared fiercely at Xu Shaochen, then picked up the fruit knife from the ground.

Did she have any other choice now?

She had thought that with her abilities, she didn’t need to take these two men seriously.

But she hadn’t expected to underestimate Xiao Huang’s self-destructive mindset, nor Xu Shaochen’s capabilities.

Or more accurately, she didn’t understand men well enough.

But it was understandable. After all, she only dated women, so how could she understand men?

Tang Silin gripped the fruit knife and walked step by step towards Xiao Huang, her gaze growing colder.

If it weren’t for Xiao Huang, how could things have become so thorny?

Xiao Huang lay on the ground, a schadenfreude smile hanging on his face as he looked at Tang Silin.

So what if I die? Even in death, I won’t let you have your way.

Seeing the smile on Xiao Huang’s face, Tang Silin felt a surge of rage. She gripped the fruit knife and stabbed it into Xiao Huang’s heart.

“Squelch—”

A gush of blood with a fishy smell spurted out, splattering quite a bit on Tang Silin’s snow-white hands.

“Heh… heh…”

Xiao Huang began to breathe less and exhale more. He wanted to speak but couldn’t make clear sounds.

After convulsing for several tens of seconds, Xiao Huang finally died, his eyes wide open, unable to close even in death.

“Are you satisfied now?”

Tang Silin stood up and coldly said to Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen put away his Phone and smiled slightly: “Not really satisfied. In fact, I’m a bit scared.”

“Look at you. So beautiful, yet so vicious. I’m afraid that one day you might plot against me. You know, I’ve always valued my life the most.”

“What else do you want!” Tang Silin said angrily.

She felt that things had completely spiraled out of her control. She, who should have been in the dominant position, had now become passive, led by the nose by Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen smiled calmly: “I know that people in relationships usually care a lot about their partners, and someone with your twisted sexual orientation would care even more.”

“How about this? Introduce your little girlfriend to me. From now on, we’ll be the best of friends.”

Damn, just as he said, Tang Silin was too beautiful and too vicious.

The key was that she could endure. Looking at how she had so many opportunities to kill Xiao Huang but held back until today to act, it was clear.

A woman’s beauty is her best weapon. If such a person were to constantly have designs on him, the risk would be too great.

So, Xu Shaochen needed to buy some insurance for himself.

That video from just now wasn’t enough.

“Xu, you’re going too far!”

Tang Silin said through gritted teeth.

Letting Xu Shaochen meet Li Qian Ya was too dangerous for Li Qian Ya.

As long as Xu Shaochen knew of Li Qian Ya’s existence, he would have ways to exploit this.

“Too far?” Xu Shaochen shrugged: “I think it’s perfectly normal for a person to be extremely cautious for their safety.”

“What if I don’t agree?” Tang Silin said, then showed a smile that was three parts mockery and seven parts provocation: “Will you kill me?”

“Miss Tang, don’t use your way of thinking to guess mine. Killing is something only social destabilizing elements like you would do.”

Xu Shaochen said, pointing at Xiao Huang’s not-yet-cold corpse on the ground, then continued: “I’m different. I’m a law-abiding citizen. How could I do such an insane thing?”

“But for your safety, I will do my utmost to protect you. The kind of protection where you won’t see the outside world for 365 days a year.”

As he spoke, Xu Shaochen waved his Phone.

The implication was simple: if you don’t do as I say, I’ll take this video to the Police, and you’ll spend your future days in prison.

“You… you…”

Tang Silin was so angry her chest heaved violently. She felt like she was going mad, wanting to flay Xu Shaochen alive.

Since meeting Xu Shaochen, she had been completely outmaneuvered, as if a child encountering an adult.

“Click—”

At this moment, the bedroom door opened.

Li Qian Ya walked out from inside and said to Xu Shaochen: “I’m out. Please let Sister Silin go.”

“Qian Ya!” Tang Silin was shocked.

Xu Shaochen looked the woman over, then turned to Tang Silin with an appreciative look

and said: “Not bad taste. Very beautiful.”

“If you dare touch her, I’ll perish with you!” Tang Silin’s expression changed as she growled through gritted teeth.

Xu Shaochen pursed his lips: “Relax, I haven’t reached the point of thinking entirely with my lower half yet. Qian Ya, right? Tell me your name and identity.”

“Li Qian Ya, third young miss of the Li family. Li Tianming is my father. Is that enough?”

Li Qian Ya said expressionlessly and without hesitation.

Xu Shaochen narrowed his eyes. A member of the Li family, no wonder they could set up something like the Meilan clubhouse in Jingcheng.

The Li family was quite powerful, and had always been powerful. They had never experienced any decline.

Other families’ development usually went through ups and downs.

But the Li family seemed to have opened a cheat code, their development history had always been smooth sailing.
