Chapter 770: Free Food and Accommodation from the State
by xennovel“Second Brother, don’t you know me? With your status, I wouldn’t dare lie to you even if I had ten times the courage.”
Yang Ming spoke earnestly then added:
“By the way Second Brother, I heard with my own ears that guy has a date with Miss Li tonight. They didn’t say where though. Just have someone follow them and you’ll see I’m not lying.”
“Damn it! He dares to touch the woman I’ve set my eyes on? I’ll break his legs!”
Yang Hui said through gritted teeth. With Yang Ming’s words, he no longer believed it was a lie.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Yang Ming’s eyes but he advised, “Second Brother, I suggest you don’t act too rashly. That guy seems to have some powerful connections…”
While it sounded like advice, it was actually adding fuel to the fire.
“Powerful connections? I love dealing with people who have powerful connections!”
Yang Hui angrily interrupted Yang Ming and hung up the Phone.
“Beep… Beep…”
Hearing the busy tone from his Phone, a smile appeared on Yang Ming’s face.
Xu, I wish you a pleasant date tonight in advance.
Then his gaze fell on Doctor Liao.
“Young… Young Master Yang…”
Doctor Liao shuddered, looking at him tremblingly.
Yang Ming took out a cigarette, walked over and put it in Doctor Liao’s mouth, patted his face, and lit the cigarette with a lighter.
“Don’t make this difficult for me. Go turn yourself in, okay?”
While he dared to play tricks on Xu Shaochen in secret, he didn’t dare to openly disobey.
“Young Master Yang, I… I don’t want to go to jail.” Doctor Liao said with a sob in his voice.
“Slap!”
Yang Ming raised his hand and slapped him across the face, saying coldly, “Please understand the situation. Am I discussing this with you? I’m fucking notifying you.”
“Yes… yes.”
Doctor Liao swallowed hard, knowing the matter was settled with no room for change.
Although he had some leverage over Yang Ming, he didn’t dare use it to threaten him.
Because if he did, what awaited him wouldn’t be just imprisonment, but a deadly fate.
This is the fate of small-time players. They seem to control their own destiny, but in reality, it can be easily changed by someone else’s words.
Of course, Doctor Liao could be considered fortunate. He’d have free food and accommodation from the state for the rest of his life.
“I have a lunch appointment, so I won’t see you to the Police station. Handle it yourself. Arrange your family matters and turn yourself in early.”
Yang Ming glanced at the watch on his wrist and said casually to Doctor Liao, then got in his Car and left.
…
“Who was that woman? Why does she know me?”
In the Car, Xie Wei asked Xu Shaochen curiously.
“Remember the woman who came to the hotel this morning?” Xu Shaochen asked in return.
Xie Wei nodded, “That Bai He?”
“Mm, these two are a couple.” Xu Shaochen nodded.
Xie Wei suddenly understood, “No wonder. This woman used the same tactics as the one this morning.”
Xu Shaochen smiled without speaking. This woman’s tactics were quite different from Tang Silin’s.
But he liked these self-righteous women. A superior cannon fodder delivered to his door, might as well take advantage.
“Sigh, I came here all excited, didn’t expect it to be a dud. Got my hopes up for nothing.”
Xie Wei sighed, showing some disappointment. Why was her stomach so uncooperative?
Xu Shaochen held one of her soft hands, “It’s alright, having children can’t be rushed. It will happen naturally when the time is right. You’re usually so smart, how did you end up believing some so-called miracle doctor online?”
“How can I not care? Not having a child is a big deal.” Xie Wei pouted unhappily.
For women, children are almost the most important part of their lives.
Hearing this, Xu Shaochen didn’t know how to comfort her and could only remain silent.
“Ring ring ring…”
Suddenly, the Phone rang.
Xu Shaochen took it out and saw it was a call from Sun Hai. He immediately answered.
“Hello, Brother Sun. What can I do for you?”
“Brother Xu, are you in Jingcheng now? I just got off the plane and I’m on my way to the hotel. Do you have time for lunch together?”
Sun Hai’s hearty voice came through the Phone into Xu Shaochen’s ear.
Xu Shaochen was surprised and asked, “Brother Sun, isn’t it still some time before you go to Mg Country? Why are you in Jingcheng now?”
“Ah, there’s some trouble with the business here, so I came early to check it out.”
Sun Hai sighed somewhat helplessly.
“Alright then, I’ll book a place for lunch. I’ll invite a couple of friends to join us for a few drinks.”
Xu Shaochen said and then hung up the Phone, then turned to Xie Wei, “Want to join us for lunch?”
“No thanks, it’s just you guys drinking. What would I, a woman, do there? Don’t worry about me for lunch, I’ll call Sister Yan and we’ll grab something to eat.”
Xie Wei shook her head, looking uninterested.
As they were talking, Long Yi had already opened the Car door. Xu Shaochen and Xie Wei got in and headed towards the hotel.
Time quickly passed and it was noon.
Xu Shaochen called Chen Ju, Zhao Li, Liang Huan, and Deng Tianwen to welcome Sun Hai together.
Deng Tianwen’s injuries had almost healed, but he still couldn’t drink alcohol.
The location was booked by Chen Ju, at a five-star hotel in the outskirts of Jingcheng.
Xu Shaochen and the other four arrived first, and Sun Hai came about ten minutes later.
“I’m so sorry, really sorry, I apologize for keeping everyone waiting. I’ll punish myself with three drinks later.”
As soon as he entered, Sun Hai apologized.
“Not at all, we just arrived not long ago. Brother Sun, please have a seat.”
Xu Shaochen said with a smile, then called the waiter to start serving the dishes.
“Brother Sun, you already know Young Master Chen. This is Zhao Li, Liang Huan, and Deng Tianwen from the Northwest.”
Xu Shaochen introduced Sun Hai to everyone.
Sun Hai quickly stood up and shook hands with everyone, “It’s a pleasure to meet you all. As this is our first meeting, I hope you’ll all take care of me.”
“Chairman Sun, you’re too polite. Since you’re Xu’s friend, you’re naturally our friend too.”
“That’s right, we’re all friends sitting at the same table. There’s no need for such formalities between friends.”
After a round of pleasantries, everyone took their seats.
“Brother Sun, I had no idea you had business in Jingcheng too. I only found out today. You’ve been making big money quietly, haven’t you?”
Xu Shaochen said to Sun Hai jokingly.
“Ah, you see? Xu is making fun of me again.” Sun Hai shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “The business here is probably going to end. I’ve spread myself too thin and can’t manage it all.”
“What happened? Are you facing any difficulties? Tell us and see if we can help in any way.”
Liang Huan asked.
Sun Hai looked at everyone and then said helplessly, “I’m not afraid of you all laughing at me. This morning after I got off the plane, I went straight to our partner’s company, but I was kicked out.”
