Chapter 927: So I Am Superman

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Three shots. Three deaths.

The lookouts at the door fell to the ground with eyes full of unwillingness and shock.

After enhancing his speed, why was there someone even faster?

“Big brother!!!”

The fourth man let out a miserable cry.

“Bang!”

Long Er pulled the trigger with no expression on his face.

The fourth one collapsed to the ground with a thud, twitching for a dozen seconds before dying.

The hotel lobby was eerily quiet.

Everything had happened too fast and everyone was still in shock.

Once they snapped out of it, chaos erupted as people fled outside.

About ten minutes later, the police arrived on the scene.

“Mr. Xu, we truly apologize. It’s our negligence that caused so much trouble for you.”

The team leader, a deputy chief, hurriedly walked up to Xu Shaochen and immediately offered an apology.

“It’s not your fault. After all, your department can’t predict the future. No one could have foreseen this.”

Xu Shaochen’s tone was calm. Jenny had already predicted that criminals would become even more lawless after acquiring stronger abilities.

In the past, no one would have dared to rob the Jiangzhou Grand Hotel.

“Do my men need to cooperate with your investigation?”

Xu Shaochen pointed at Long Yi and Long Er.

“No, no. If we need anything, we’ll send someone to ask.”

The deputy chief quickly waved his hands, shaking his head like a rattle.

“Well then, I’ll be off. You guys stay busy.”

Xu Shaochen nodded, gestured to Mei Liangxin and the others, and began walking out of the hotel.

In the car on the way home.

“See? I told you this wouldn’t be an isolated case. There will be more.”

Jenny furrowed her brows and said. Watching what she had foreseen unfold only deepened her unease.

“This is inevitable. The widespread use of the genetic serum will bring more benefits than harm. This is just the growing pains of development.”

Xu Shaochen explained patiently. When two people have conflicting views on the same issue, it’s challenging.

It’s like Balen and his grandfather; they disagreed on jade research, so Balen left the project.

“Wait… what do you mean? You guys invented the nutrient liquid?”

Song Xinran, who had been listening in confusion, caught onto the important part.

“He invented it, not me.”

Jenny pointed at Xu Shaochen.

“The ones available on the market are diluted. The first-generation isn’t very safe. When the second-generation genetic serum is ready, I’ll have you get injected.”

Xu Shaochen explained the genetic serum situation to Song Xinran.

After listening, Song Xinran was so stunned that she couldn’t absorb the overwhelming information for a long while.

“This… this is unbelievable.”

Genetic serums were once confined only to movies and novels.

Now not only were they real, but her own man had created them.

“Now you see how amazing I am, right?”

Xu Shaochen smirked, placing a hand on Song Xinran’s leg, feeling its firm elasticity.

“That’s due to the researchers, not you. You just provided the funding.”

Song Xinran pouted and brushed away Xu Shaochen’s increasingly bold hand from her leg.

“The true power comes from money, and I am the one controlling it. So, you could say I’m ‘Super-man.’”

Xu Shaochen felt his logic was flawless. Perfect. His hand crept back over, becoming more unrestrained…

Song Xinran’s pretty face blushed so much on the way home that it seemed like it could drip blood.

Jenny looked outwardly calm, but inside, she envied and hated Xu Shaochen’s shamelessness.

When they got home, Xu Shaochen helped the weakened Song Xinran into the living room.

Don’t get the wrong idea. She was just really tired, nothing more. Don’t overthink it!

On their first night back, Xu Shaochen dutifully paid his ‘marriage duty.’ As expected, it was another sleepless night for him.

………………

Morning.

When Xu Shaochen woke up, he found that he was the only one left in the bed.

After washing up and going downstairs, he saw the women sitting around the dining table looking refreshed, eating breakfast.

He sighed—just as the old saying goes, ‘There are no bad fields, only tired farmers.’ The ancients did not lie.

“You’re awake. We let you sleep in because we felt bad for you.”

Seeing Xu Shaochen come downstairs, Zhao Qingyu smiled gently.

Xu Shaochen rolled his eyes. If you really felt bad for me, you wouldn’t have gone so hard last night, like maniacs.

After breakfast, Xu Shaochen left the living room, ready to head to school.

Today, he had to give the freshman opening ceremony speech.

“Boss, you seem like you didn’t get much sleep last night.”

Long Yi and Long Er were already outside waiting for him. When Long Yi saw him, he asked with concern.

“Do you know the saying ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’?”

Xu Shaochen asked.

The two nodded.

“Then why are you asking so many questions? Drive me to school.”

As soon as Xu Shaochen finished speaking, he got into the car and closed his eyes to catch up on some sleep.

Even with years of martial arts training and a genetic serum injection, he was feeling worn out.

Women are indeed the deadliest weapon in the world; lust is a knife that cuts to the bone.

“Ring ring ring…”

Just as he fell asleep, his phone rang, waking him up.

It was a call from his secretary at Chen Yu Corporation.

“What’s up? I’m not going to the office today.”

Xu Shaochen answered the phone.

“Oh no, Chairman Xu, the representatives from the pig farm have come. They said they want to meet with you to discuss a partnership.”

The secretary’s sweet and melodious voice instantly shook off most of his drowsiness.

“Tell them to come back in the afternoon.”

He hung up right after saying that. He had no intention of partnering with them, anyway. After all, back when he was a gamer, that pig farm really burned him.

In Penguin Corporation’s games, you can get stronger with money.

But in the pig farm’s games, you can only get prettier, not stronger.

Back in the day, Xu Shaochen spent a lot of money on one of their games and still got pwned. That’s how he quit his gaming addiction.

Meanwhile, at Jiangzhou University.

Banners advertising that Xu Shaochen was giving the opening speech were hung all over the school, and his photo was displayed at the entrance.

All the freshmen felt a sense of pride at the sight, walking with their chests puffed out.

Later on, they’d realize it didn’t actually have anything to do with them.

“The opening speech is by Senior Xu Shaochen? We’re so lucky! I’m glad I didn’t retake a year, or I would’ve missed it!”

“Yeah, I’m really looking forward to what he’s going to say. Do you think he’ll be even more handsome in real life than in the photo?”

“I heard that Xu Shaochen is filthy rich, with so many assets. Don’t know if it’s true or not.”

On the first day of school, the entire Jiangzhou University was buzzing about Xu Shaochen. Even multiple news stations were present.
