Chapter 949: Another Familiar Face Appears

The shopping center in the city center.

Xu Shaochen was shopping with two women.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Mei Liangxin.

“Didn’t you say you were busy rushing work at the game company?”

Xu Shaochen’s eyes narrowed slightly, releasing a dangerous aura.

Both Mei Liangxin and Zhang Wei now held positions at the game company.

They’re not big shots, just two small employees.

According to them, it’s to ‘learn more’.

Zhang Wei worked diligently, while Mei Liangxin was the type to slack off every chance he got.

But this slippery guy always got caught by Xu Shaochen.

Finally, today, he was caught again.

Mei Liangxin coughed nervously twice: “Uh, I… I’m sick, came out to get some medicine. Look, my neck is all red.”

As he spoke, he started unbuttoning his shirt to show proof.

“Enough, stop embarrassing yourself. That mark on your neck is from me biting you last night.”

Liu Ying said impatiently, twisting his ear: “Didn’t you tell me Brother Xu gave you time off? I’ve been wondering why you’re always getting time off. So you’ve been lying to me this whole time?”

“Ah! Ah! Let go, let go! Wifey, I was only doing this to make time to go shopping with you, and buy a few things for the baby.”

Mei Liangxin quickly begged for mercy. He had already completely lost his voice at home, thoroughly weighed down by his wife.

Liu Ying gave him a harsh glare before turning to Xu Shaochen with an apologetic expression: “Brother Xu, I’m really sorry. This idiot kept telling me it was because you saw I was pregnant and gave him time off to stay with me. I never thought he was actually slacking off. Maybe he shouldn’t stay employed at the company?”

“Yingying, there’s no way Shaochen would fire me just for this. You’re overreacting. Right, Shaochen?”

Mei Liangxin nonchalantly smiled and tried to put an arm around Xu Shaochen’s shoulder.

“From today on, just stay at home and take care of your wife. You won’t need to come to the company anymore.”

Xu Shaochen said coldly.

Connections aside, Mei Liangxin’s behavior would affect the entire work environment, something Xu Shaochen would never allow.

The smile on Mei Liangxin’s face slowly froze.

A long pause later, he hung his head like a defeated rooster: “Bro, this will be the last time. I swear, it’s the last.”

“You said it.” Xu Shaochen gave him a serious look. He didn’t want to see Mei Liangxin continue living such a complacent life.

Mei Liangxin shivered, knowing Xu Shaochen was serious this time. He immediately nodded vigorously.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, someone hurriedly ran by and bumped into Liu Ruxue, causing her to let out a surprised cry; her body momentarily lost control.

“Ruxue!”

Xu Shaochen’s face changed drastically. His hands moved swiftly, catching her in time.

Fortunately, after the Genetic Serum injection, his physical abilities had significantly improved.

Otherwise, at his old level, he wouldn’t have made it in time to catch Liu Ruxue.

“What the hell! Are you in such a rush to be reincarnated? You bumped into my woman!”

Mei Liangxin was already charging forth the moment Xu Shaochen caught Liu Ruxue. In an instant, he pounced on the person who had bumped into her like a tiger catching prey.

That burst of speed was even faster than Long Yi and Long Er!

“I… I’m fine.”

Liu Ruxue’s face was pale, clearly still shaken.

If it were just her, it wouldn’t have been a big deal, just a fall at worst.

But she was still carrying a child in her belly. She hadn’t even been wearing heels lately, just to avoid any accidental falls.

Xu Shaochen released Liu Ruxue and walked toward the man Mei Liangxin had pinned, his face expressionless.

“Get off me! Do you know who I am?”

The man, a young guy in his twenties with dyed yellow hair, was struggling with a defiant attitude.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Without saying a word, Xu Shaochen walked up and ruthlessly kicked the yellow-haired guy in the face several times.

“Ah!”

The guy screamed in pain, his face quickly covered in blood.

“Please, stop… stop! I was wrong! I was wrong!”

The guy kept begging for mercy.

But it was as if Xu Shaochen couldn’t hear him. He kept stomping on the guy’s face with foot after foot, filled with anger.

At first, the guy begged for mercy, but later he could hardly make a sound.

“Come on, that’s enough! Are you really going to beat him to death in front of all these people?”

At first, Mei Liangxin thought Xu Shaochen was just venting, but then he realized something was wrong.

This guy was actually beating him to death! Mei Liangxin quickly moved to stop Xu Shaochen.

In fact, Xu Shaochen knew his limits.

If he didn’t, this guy would’ve stopped breathing after the first kick.

Although furious, Xu Shaochen hadn’t let his anger cloud his judgment to the point where he’d kill someone in front of witnesses.

“Bro… brother, please stop!”

With Mei Liangxin stopping Xu Shaochen, yellow hair finally caught his breath, weakly begging for mercy, barely keeping his eyes open.

“You’re lucky I caught my woman in time. Otherwise, your mom wouldn’t even know where to bury you.”

Xu Shaochen looked down at the guy, his tone icy.

“Y-yes, brother, you’re right. It was my fault. I wasn’t watching where I was going. I’m sorry… I apologize to your wife.”

The guy agreed hastily, genuinely afraid Xu Shaochen would keep beating him.

“Scram.”

Xu Shaochen lifted his foot and kicked him several feet away.

“Thud!”

The guy hit the ground hard several meters away, coughing up blood. Trembling, he then stumbled away in a hurry.

After putting some distance between him and Xu Shaochen, he looked back, eyes flashing with malice.

He swore he would settle this score someday.

Hiding behind a trash can, yellow hair roughly wiped the blood from his face and dialed a number on his phone.

“Uncle! Help, Uncle! Someone nearly beat me to death and even threatened to kill my whole family! You’ve got to help me get revenge! I’m at…”

After the call, he stayed hidden, using his phone’s camera to monitor Xu Shaochen and the others from a distance.

Once Xu Shaochen and his group went up to the second floor of the mall, he didn’t dare follow, afraid of being spotted.

About ten minutes later, a black Audi pulled up at the roadside.

Seeing the license plate, the guy was ecstatic and immediately hurried over.

Two bodyguards got out of the car first. One of them opened the door, and a refined middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stepped out.

“Uncle! They’re upstairs. Let’s hurry before they leave through one of the other exits!”

Seeing the middle-aged man, the guy yelled anxiously.

The middle-aged man frowned and looked at him suspiciously: “Did you start causing trouble again? Tell me exactly what happened.”

It wasn’t strange for him to doubt the guy’s story, as this nephew of his was notorious for causing trouble.

Still, seeing his current miserable state, it was impossible for the middle-aged man not to feel some anger bubbling up inside.

Had Xu Shaochen been present, he would’ve recognized the middle-aged man as Liu Jun.

The man who had broken his leg jumping from the hospital roof had since recovered.
