Chapter 804: Otherwise, it would seem like I have no manners

Boom!

As soon as Xu Shaochen’s words fell, the four people in the room felt as if they’d been struck by lightning, their minds exploding, and they stood there dazed.

“Xu… Xu Shaochen, what do you mean by that?”

Li Qiancheng still held on to a shred of hope, his voice trembling as he asked, his heart in his throat.

“What do I mean? Do I hold a grudge against your father? You want to kill me just because of a disagreement?”

“We in China believe in reciprocation. You want to kill me, so naturally, I have to kill you. Otherwise, it would seem like I have no manners.”

Xu Shaochen smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. A cold aura exuded from him, as if the temperature in the room had dropped.

“Xu Shaochen, how dare you! If you kill us, our families won’t let you go!”

Yang Ming roared hysterically, feeling his limbs go cold, his heart filled with fear.

Bang!

Xu Shaochen grabbed a wine glass and smashed it over Yang Ming’s head: “Is your whole family full of idiots like you? A few useless lives, they wouldn’t gamble the entire family’s fate on them.”

Yang Hui and the others were rendered speechless, as Xu Shaochen’s words made perfect sense.

They weren’t heirs to their families, so their positions didn’t carry much weight.

But Xu Shaochen’s status was enough to make any of their families tread carefully.

Getting into a life-and-death struggle with Xu Shaochen was clearly unwise for them.

Most importantly, they were the ones who first harbored murderous intent toward Xu Shaochen. They were in the wrong.

So, as much as they hated to admit it, if they died here, it would largely be in vain.

“Brother-in-law, please… Please don’t kill me! I know I was wrong! I’ll never dare again.”

“It was them! They instigated me! I didn’t want to do it! Brother-in-law, sob sob sob…”

Lin Kai directly dropped to his knees with a thud, banging his head on the ground while howling in tears.

It was as if he was filled with deep regret and sorrow, his cries filled with immense agony.

“Lin Kai!”

Li Qiancheng and the other two glared at him angrily. They didn’t expect Lin Kai to be so shameless, pushing all the blame onto them.

Xu Shaochen patted Lin Kai’s head and, in a gentle tone, said, “Ah Kai, don’t worry. Even though you wanted to kill me, I won’t kill you. After all, you’re still my brother-in-law. I’ll have someone look after you for the rest of your life.”

“Thank you, thank you, Brother-in-law. Thank you, Brother-in-law.”

Lin Kai was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked Xu Shaochen, though in his heart, he sneered.

That Xu guy is as fake as they come. But this works in my favor. Just wait and see, I’ll find a way to get rid of you.

But then he suddenly realized something didn’t feel right. What did Xu Shaochen mean by ‘take care of him for the rest of his life?’ Soon after, he understood.

Xu Shaochen waved his hand. “Break his legs. Let him spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.”

“Yes, Boss.”

Long Yi and Long Er responded immediately, stepping forward to pin Lin Kai down.

“What are you doing? Brother-in-law, no, no! You can’t do this, you can’t!”

Suddenly terrified, Lin Kai screamed in panic, struggling desperately with fear written all over his face. But it was in vain.

Clang!

Xu Shaochen grabbed a beer bottle and smashed it over Lin Kai’s head.

Crash!

The bottle shattered into pieces, and blood mixed with alcohol trickled down Lin Kai’s face, making him look particularly horrifying.

“If it weren’t for your sister’s sake, it wouldn’t just be a wheelchair, it’d be a coffin. So, always remember: never take kindness and throw it away.”

Xu Shaochen said calmly, pulling a handkerchief from his chest to wipe the alcohol from his hands, then tossed it onto Lin Kai’s face.

Bang! Bang!

Two gunshots rang out, and Lin Kai’s knees were shattered. With current medical technology, he’d be stuck in a wheelchair for life.

“Ahhh!”

Lin Kai screamed in unbearable agony, curling up on the floor and rolling around, his face pale as a sheet and cold sweat pouring down his body.

Li Qiancheng, Yang Hui, and Yang Ming trembled at the sight, their hearts full of fear.

Xu Shaochen’s gaze slowly swept over the three of them.

“Xu… Xu Shao, it was my mistake. My head wasn’t in the right place. For Xiao Ya’s sake, please… please spare me.”

Li Qiancheng’s voice trembled, filled with regret. He truly regretted listening to those three idiots in the first place. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in this mess now.

All he could hope for now was that Xu Shaochen would give him a way out, just like he did for Lin Kai.

“Do you think you’re worthy of using Xiao Ya’s name?”

Xu Shaochen’s voice was cold.

His relationship with Li Qianya was antagonistic, yet Li Qiancheng dared to use her name to plead for his life. It was absurd.

Li Qiancheng’s expression froze, and he stood there speechless for a long while.

Thud!

Yang Hui and Yang Ming dropped to their knees and crawled to Xu Shaochen’s feet, their faces full of pitiful pleading.

“Xu Shao, please have mercy! Please spare us! Treat us like nothing more than dust in the wind, let us go!”

“Yes, Xu Shao, after all… After all, you’re fine now, aren’t you?”

Bang!

Xu Shaochen kicked both of them to the ground, grabbed Yang Ming by the hair, and lifted him up: “If anything had happened to me, you idiots would be celebrating right now, wouldn’t you?”

After saying that, Xu Shaochen let go of him. “Throw these three idiots into the sea to feed the fish.”

After issuing the order, Xu Shaochen walked out of the room. There was no need for him to deal with the rest.

“No, please no! Xu Shao!”

“Xu Shao, we won’t dare anymore, we really won’t! Please…”

“Xu Shaochen! You will meet a terrible end! Even as a ghost, I won’t let you go!”

The three of them sobbed and begged at first, but when they realized it was futile, they started cursing furiously.

Xu Shaochen ignored them, walking out of the room without looking back, leaving them with the sight of his tall figure.

He didn’t cause trouble for others, but he wouldn’t sit idly by if trouble came for him.

Paying back kindness was a given, but paying back evil with evil was also his way.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

“Boss, Long Er’s handling the cleanup. I’ll drive you back.”

Long Yi walked up and said respectfully. Then he carefully added, “What about the Li family and the Yang family…”

“I’ll talk to the Li family personally.” Xu Shaochen paused, his eyes flashing with cold light. “As for the Yang family, just tell them the truth. I killed them. And if they ask why, tell them it’s because they courted death.”

“But what if the Yang family…” Long Yi voiced his concern.

“There is no ‘if.’ They wouldn’t dare.”

Xu Shaochen interrupted Long Yi firmly, a smile curving his lips: “Because I am Xu Shaochen.”
