Chapter Index

    Little Four couldn’t take it anymore.

    He wasn’t afraid of death or even beatings torture and starvation.

    But Xu Shaochen’s wild tactics were too much for him to handle.

    He a fugitive murderer being subjected to that… He couldn’t accept it mentally or physically.

    “Let’s stop for now.”

    Xu Shaochen called off the two foreigners then turned to Little Four “Speak I’m listening.”

    “Huff… huff…”

    Little Four lay on the ground gasping for air like a survivor of a disaster turning his head to glare at Xu Shaochen with a ferocious look.

    It was as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

    However when he saw the disappointed yet eager looks in the eyes of the two foreigners he suddenly shuddered and blurted out without hesitation:

    “It was Long it was Long who contacted me. He gave me a hundred thousand as a deposit first.”

    Damn he was about to die why should he care about all this?

    Anyway he didn’t want to be humiliated by two men before his death.

    “Give me his contact information.”

    Xu Shaochen said frowning slightly.

    “I have his email and Phone number. I also know his hometown is in Yunzhou but I don’t know his real name or identity. I only know his nickname is Long. I’ve told you everything I know please just give me a quick death.”

    Once Little Four started talking he spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube.

    “You two can leave now.”

    Xu Shaochen dismissed the two foreigners then looked at Little Four and said “Don’t be in a hurry to die. I need to verify if what you said is true or false. If it’s false next time there will be four people.”

    After saying this Xu Shaochen turned to Deng Tianwen “Your men are still in Jingcheng right? Rent a house and keep him under watch. Don’t let him commit suicide.”

    “Everything I said is true. Please kill me please just give me a quick death.”

    Little Four was on the verge of breakdown. Living under the shadow of not knowing when he might be violated by foreigners he was truly terrified.

    “Right now you’re meat on the chopping board and I’m the butcher holding the knife. Which piece of meat to slaughter is the butcher’s decision. Have you ever seen meat helping the butcher make decisions?”

    Xu Shaochen said with a sneer asking Little Four for Long’s email and Phone number.

    Then Xu Shaochen took out his Phone and called Chen Dongqiu.

    As a smuggling tycoon based in Yunzhou finding someone should be quite simple for him.

    “Young Master Xu do you have any instructions?”

    Receiving Xu Shaochen’s call Chen Dongqiu sounded very excited thinking it was about departing for abroad.

    These days he had been very anxious as the people over there were urging more and more urgently.

    But he didn’t dare to call and rush Xu Shaochen so he had been in torment every day.

    Although when he asked Xu Shaochen for help he said it would be fine if they couldn’t get that shipment back.

    But in reality having invested such a large sum of money how could he possibly want to lose it all?

    “It won’t be long before we go to Mg Country. Now I need you to do something for me first.”

    Hearing the significant fluctuation in Chen Dongqiu’s tone Xu Shaochen first gave him some reassurance to calm down.

    “Please go ahead Young Master Xu.”

    Chen Dongqiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked respectfully.

    “Help me find someone. His nickname is Long one of his Phone numbers is… his email is… He’s a local from your Yunzhou.”

    “Yes Young Master Xu rest assured. I’ll have results for you by tomorrow at the latest.”

    Chen Dongqiu seemed very confident after all he had great influence in Yunzhou and was well-connected.

    “Mm that’s all then.”

    Xu Shaochen hung up the Phone after saying this and looked at Little Four saying “You’d better pray that I find Long soon. That way you can die sooner.”

    Xu Shaochen thought Long was the only middleman in this matter helping the employer find hitmen and helping hitmen get jobs.

    But he had no idea that Long was also a middleman posing as a hitman.

    Soon Deng Tianwen’s men arrived a total of four people.

    “Young Master.”

    The four men bowed respectfully to Deng Tianwen.

    “Take this person away rent a house outside and watch him carefully. Don’t let him die.”

    Deng Tianwen said pointing at Little Four.

    “Yes Young Master.”

    The four bodyguards took Little Four away.

    Xu Shaochen and Deng Tianwen also walked out of the room.

    “Handsome are you checking out or going out? Want some girls? I can call a couple for you.”

    The boss’s wife saw Deng Tianwen and greeted him enthusiastically. For this kind of shady hotel 500 at once was already a big deal.

    “Checking out.”

    Deng Tianwen threw back two words without looking back tossing the keys over. Without needing to show ID checking out was just a matter of saying a word.

    “She was so enthusiastic about calling girls for you why didn’t you enjoy yourself before going back?”

    In the Car Xu Shaochen sat in the back seat with Deng Tianwen joking with him.

    “The prices in Jingcheng are too high not cost-effective. It’s not worth it. I’d rather go back and hold my little Yan it’s free.”

    Deng Tianwen said casually. If Hou Xiaoyan were here he would definitely be in for a scolding.

    “Hehe free?” Xu Shaochen sneered “Her clothes shoes cosmetics travel meals are all these free?”

    Deng Tianwen nodded “Yes Xie Wei bought all of those for her. Anyway I don’t need to buy anything for her for a long time.”

    Xu Shaochen: “…”

    “This spendthrift woman.”

    Half an hour later they arrived at the hotel.

    Letting Long Yi and Long Er go park the Car Xu Shaochen and Deng Tianwen took the elevator back to their room.

    “Shaochen how did it go tonight? Everything okay?”

    Seeing Xu Shaochen return Xie Wei came up to him asking about how the matter with Chen Ju was handled after all gossip is a woman’s nature.

    “The engagement has been called off. It went smoothly without any complications.”

    Xu Shaochen didn’t say much switching to another topic “How much stuff did you buy for Yan? Deng Tianwen was just bragging to me. You’re too extravagant.”

    “Husband you have so much money if I don’t work hard to help you spend it I won’t be able to spend it all in this lifetime.”

    “If I’m not extravagant wouldn’t that be a waste of my current favorable conditions?”

    Xie Wei clung to Xu Shaochen’s arm saying with a grin.

    “You can’t spend it all even if you try.”

    Xu Shaochen said. This was also his most troubling issue.

    The speed of spending money could never match the speed of earning it.

    The money spent in a month could be earned back in a day which made him feel quite helpless.

    If he were to set a rule for his future sons that after they come of age he’d give each of them a Card and tell them they can’t come home until they’ve spent all the money on the Card.

    Then he probably wouldn’t see his sons for the rest of his life.

    Being rich is just so desperate seeing no hope of spending all the money living buried in darkness of banknotes with no chance of seeing the light.

    Cough cough cough enough pretending.

    If I keep pretending I’m going to get beaten up.
