Chapter Index

    “With your cowardly nature, you’ll end up kowtowing sooner or later. Why bother hesitating?”

    Looking at the Wang Family members with their uncertain expressions, Xu Shaochen mocked mercilessly.

    Hearing these words, everyone felt the urge to stand up and fight Xu Shaochen to the death.

    But the impulse was just that, an impulse. It lasted only for a moment, gone in the blink of an eye.

    What remained was submission.

    “Fine, I’ll kowtow,” Wang Xian said hoarsely, his forehead hitting the ground with a thud.

    Immediately after, the living room was filled with the sound of heads hitting the floor one after another.

    “Remember this lesson in the future. Don’t bark at people blindly, or you might not even know how you died.”

    Xu Shaochen coldly threw out a sentence, then signaled to Chen Ju with his eyes and walked towards the living room exit.

    He also felt that the Wang Family was lucky to have encountered someone like him who was easy to talk to and kind-hearted.

    Otherwise, today wouldn’t have been as simple as just returning the favor by kneeling and kowtowing.

    “Uncle… what should we do now?”

    After Xu Shaochen left, the others looked towards Wang Xian. The Wang Family’s situation was now very dire.

    “Nothing we can do. Let’s release a statement saying that due to my failure in raising my daughter, she did such a shameful thing. Out of guilt, I voluntarily dissolve the engagement with the Chen Family.”

    Wang Xian sighed. This was already the best solution.

    By taking the initiative to propose this, although they would become a laughingstock for a while, after some time, this matter would fade from people’s attention.

    Perhaps it was only sacrificing Wang Yao alone, but her reputation would be thoroughly ruined from now on.

    “Brother, what about Yaoyao?”

    A middle-aged man glanced at Wang Yao.

    Wang Xian looked at Wang Yao.

    “Dad…”

    Wang Yao looked pitifully at Wang Xian, her face still streaked with tears, her heart in her throat.

    “Send her abroad. She’s not to return for the rest of her life.”

    Wang Xian said expressionlessly. He considered this daughter dead. If Wang Yao stayed in the country, she would be an eternal shame for the Wang Family, constantly reminding others of this incident.

    “Dad, I was wrong. No, I don’t want to go abroad. I don’t want to!”

    Wang Yao was instantly alarmed. She rushed over in three quick steps and grabbed Wang Xian’s leg.

    Wang Xian’s expression remained unchanged from start to finish, as if the person crying and hugging his leg was just a stranger.

    Everyone must pay the price for their actions.

    ………..

    Chen Ju and Xu Shaochen had just walked out of the Wang Family residence.

    “What about that guy? What are you planning to do with him?”

    Young Master Xu asked Chen Ju.

    “Send him abroad for further education.”

    Chen Ju said flatly.

    Xu Shaochen was taken aback: “Speak plainly.”

    “Send him to Africa to dig holes,” Chen Ju rephrased.

    Xu Shaochen immediately understood.

    Abroad = Africa, Further education = Mining.

    Is it going abroad? Yes, isn’t Africa abroad?

    Is it further education? Of course, aren’t those mine shafts deep enough?

    This statement seemed flawless at first glance, and even more so upon closer inspection.

    “Young Master Xu, I need to go back and report tonight’s events to my family, so I’ll take my leave now. Therefore… I won’t see you off.”

    At the entrance of the Wang Family residence, Chen Ju apologetically said a sentence, then drove away.

    “Let’s go. We’ll hail a taxi at the intersection ahead. Taking a taxi with bodyguards, I must be setting a global precedent.”

    Xu Shaochen shook his head and said self-mockingly. The Car he had driven here earlier had been taken back to the hotel by Deng Tianwen.

    Now that Chen Ju had left, he was reduced to taking a taxi with his bodyguards.

    Walking out of the villa area, Xu Shaochen, along with Long Yi and Long Er, strolled leisurely on the street, looking for a taxi while sightseeing.

    Meanwhile, at a barbecue stand on a street outside the villa area.

    Seeing Xu Shaochen come out, a young man wearing a hoodie and carrying a baseball bat got up and followed, approaching Xu Shaochen.

    He was Little Four, the assassin who had been exploited by layer upon layer of middlemen.

    He used to kill with guns, but now he could only use knives.

    Because with his current status of being wanted by the Police and hiding like a stray dog, he simply didn’t have the ability or channels to bring a gun into Jingcheng, or to obtain one there.

    After all, if he had such powerful connections, he wouldn’t have ended up being chased by the Police like a stray dog.

    He killed cleanly and efficiently, without any detailed plan, relying on his experience, skills, and brute force.

    He would go in with a knife, stab a vital spot, then turn and run.

    Since he was already a wanted criminal, he didn’t need those so-called plans anymore.

    When you’re covered in lice, you stop feeling itchy. For him, there was no difference between being wanted for one murder or ten.

    As for Long Yi and Long Er behind Xu Shaochen, although he was somewhat wary, he didn’t pay them much mind.

    In his years on the run, he had killed rich people before.

    At first, he would go through meticulous planning, mainly to deal with the bodyguards around the target.

    But after a couple of times, he realized he had overestimated these bodyguards. They couldn’t catch him, nor could they match him in a fight.

    So, with this preconception, he gradually stopped taking these bodyguards seriously.

    After all, they weren’t professionals. They were the type to enjoy life while they could. Expecting them to be fully prepared was unrealistic.

    But Long Yi, Long Er, and Xu Shaochen were no ordinary people.

    As soon as he approached, all three noticed him.

    After all, this wasn’t Xu Shaochen’s first time facing such danger. He had experience.

    But he didn’t act rashly, because he thought Little Four was carrying a gun.

    In his mind, no one would be stupid enough to try to kill him with just a knife when he had bodyguards.

    But this wasn’t because Little Four was too stupid, it was really because of his limited options.

    Long Yi and Long Er were also on high alert, their muscles tense, mentally elevating Little Four’s threat level countless times.

    Then.

    Little Four quickened his pace.

    Little Four pulled out his knife.

    Little Four lunged at Xu Shaochen with the knife.

    Little Four was caught by Long Yi and Long Er.

    Yes, he was caught.

    Not only Little Four himself, but even Long Yi and Long Er were dumbfounded.

    Damn, we were both prepared to use our bodies to block bullets, how could you be so much weaker than we imagined?

    And, you’re trying to attack Young Master Xu with just a knife? Are you sure you’re not joking?

    The two were originally ready to throw themselves forward to block bullets, but unexpectedly, Long Er casually grabbed and controlled Little Four’s knife-wielding hand.

    Then Long Yi instantly grabbed Little Four’s other hand.

    The two lifted him off the ground.

    Little Four, feet dangling in the air, was also dumbfounded. Oh shit, these guys are quite different from the bodyguards I’ve encountered before.

    Moreover, the target’s reaction was also different from previous bosses.

    So, no matter what kind of job it is, after being exploited by layers of middlemen and subcontracted out again and again, generally the person who finally takes on the job is garbage.

    That’s why they say, after being exploited by middlemen layer by layer, the person who finally takes on the job is usually trash.
