Chapter 812: Scarface Ran Away

“Tang Silin, are you being reasonable or not?”

“That jade was something I got from Xiao Huang. How is it that I took your stuff?”

Xu Shaochen felt it was necessary to have a serious talk with this woman today. She had some serious issues with her worldview.

Tang Silin was at a loss for words. After a moment, she weakly said, “I’m a woman. I don’t need to be reasonable.”

“Sorry, my bad. I really can’t tell. How about I check a little more carefully?” Xu Shaochen’s eyes drifted down to her long legs wrapped in black stockings.

If it were before, Tang Silin would certainly stand still and even spread her legs to let Xu Shaochen take a look, then mock him a bit.

However, for some reason, this time her first reaction was to tug at her skirt to cover her legs and shoot Xu Shaochen a fierce glare.

“What are you staring at? Never seen it before?”

She felt uncomfortable all over, wishing she had worn more today and could cover herself completely.

Li Qianya was stunned. She noticed Tang Silin had changed. She didn’t seem very womanly before, but now she was getting more and more feminine.

Xu Shaochen and Xie Wei exchanged knowing looks, both smiling teasingly at her.

Tang Silin put on a fierce face: “What are you guys looking at?”

“Nothing. Really. Tang Silin, why don’t you tell me what you know? We’ll share the jade’s research results.”

Xu Shaochen suggested. He felt that this woman was different now. She appeared more and more womanly.

The most straightforward feeling was:

Before, when he looked at her, he wanted to be bros with her.

Now, when he looked at her, Xu Shaochen was thinking about what position would suit best ((≡≡))

“Ha! As if I can believe you. You say we’ll share, but it’s your people doing the research. How would I know what you’ve already discovered?”

Tang Silin sneered, a look of disdain on her face. She didn’t trust Xu Shaochen at all.

“How about this—you join the research team too? You’ll be responsible for overseeing the progress. How does that sound?”

Xu Shaochen really wanted to crack the secret of the jade. So, any bit of useful information was worth exploiting.

As for Tang Silin having ulterior motives, Xu Shaochen wasn’t the least bit worried.

The laboratory was on an island. If she could swim back to the mainland, he’d gladly hand over both pieces of jade.

Hearing this, Tang Silin’s eyes gleamed. She was obviously tempted.

After all, right now the jade was in Xu Shaochen’s hands.

As research continued, the more Xu Shaochen discovered, the less substantial the information she had. Eventually, it would become irrelevant.

Joining the research team now was obviously the best plan for both of them to achieve a win-win situation.

“Hmph! Fine. Since you’re begging so much, I’ll reluctantly say yes.”

Tang Silin was becoming more and more haughty, more and more like a delicate woman, though she herself hadn’t yet noticed the change.

The one who felt it most was Li Qianya, who had shared the same bed with Tang Silin before.

“Alright, in a few days, I’ll be heading to Mg Country. Come along, and I’ll have someone send you to the lab.”

With their cooperation confirmed, Xu Shaochen let out a sigh of relief.

He planned to personally escort Tang Silin to the island, as he needed to check the place out himself.

“I want to go too!”

Li Qianya hurriedly said. She didn’t have many friends, and the closest ones were Xu Shaochen and Tang Silin since she’d had that kind of relationship with both.

Cough, cough… Li Qianya swings both ways.

Now that the two were leaving together, she obviously didn’t want to stay alone in boring Jingcheng.

“Fine.”

Having Li Qianya along made Tang Silin feel a bit more at ease.

“Alright, it’s getting late. You guys can go now.”

Xu Shaochen started to see them off.

“I’m not leaving. I’m sleeping here tonight.”

Li Qianya said openly. Since her relationship with Xu Shaochen was clear, she had no reason to be coy.

Tang Silin gave Li Qianya, the woman who had ‘put a green hat on her’, a resentful look, picked up her purse, and left.

“Sister Silin, why don’t you stay too? He can sleep on the sofa.”

Li Qianya suggested.

Tang Silin’s eyes lit up: “That’s a good idea.”

Xu Shaochen was dumbfounded: “I’m the one paying for the room! Why should I?”

“Because the three of us are women, and you’re the only man. Three votes to one, you sleep on the sofa.”

Li Qianya rushed into the bedroom as she spoke, with Tang Silin right behind her.

Xie Wei gave Xu Shaochen a sympathetic look but kindly added: “You should probably call and ask the waiter to bring you a blanket.”

In the dead of night, when all was quiet.

Xu Shaochen got up from the sofa and tiptoed to the bedroom, quietly opening the door and slipping inside.

By the moonlight, he looked at the women sprawled across the bed in all directions, completely unladylike. Xu Shaochen transformed into a wolf.

“Xiao Ya, why are you pulling at my skirt?”

“Ah! You scoundrel, Xu Shaochen! I should have never trusted you!”

“Ouch, Weiwei, it’s me! Stop pinching me, you’re going to take off my flesh!”

For a while, the bedroom was in complete chaos.

The next day, with the sun already high in the sky,

Xu Shaochen opened his eyes, a satisfied smile on his face.

He had already predicted that Tang Silin would want to kill him when she woke up, so he gingerly prepared to sneak away.

“Ring, ring, ring…”

Suddenly, his phone rang, and the smug smile on his face froze instantly.

“Ahhhh! Xu Shaochen, I’m going to kill you!”

As expected, Tang Silin’s furious scream echoed throughout the bedroom.

She had always slept with women, and a man sleeping with her was simply outrageous.

“I’m answering my phone! Don’t pinch me, sister! I was wrong; I really was wrong!”

Xu Shaochen, grimacing in pain, answered the phone: “Hello?”

“Young Master Xu… what’s happening over there?”

Chen Ju asked, puzzled by the women’s screams he heard.

“Don’t worry about it. What’s up?”

Holding Tang Silin’s hands to stop her from pinching him again, Xu Shaochen spoke into the phone.

“Scarface faked a stomachache last night and escaped on the way to the Hospital. He had outside help, even used sub-machine guns. Several people are dead. If you turn on the TV, you’ll see it in the news.”

Xu Shaochen’s expression immediately grew serious: “Got it.”

To have used sub-machine guns in Jingcheng, Scarface must have had some serious backing.

Seeing Xu Shaochen’s face turn grim, Tang Silin was startled and instinctively stopped moving.

“Ring, ring, ring…”

His phone rang again.

Xu Shaochen frowned as he looked at the unfamiliar number and picked up.

“Hello?”

“Heh, who would have thought? You’re really the young director of the Xu Corporation. Your status is quite distinguished. You better sleep with one eye open from now on, and make sure you don’t die before you can spend all that money.”

A low, cold voice came from the phone.

Xu Shaochen’s face darkened.

Scarface.
