Inside a private room at the Blue Ocean Hotel,
Chen Yang sat at the table ,his face grim .
His phone vibrated incessantly. Since morning, it hadn't stopped ringing. All the people he'd arranged had been taken away by the police. They were a motley crew, and naturally, they had no intention of keeping Chen Yang's identity a secret.
So, they quickly implicated him , dragging the Chen family into trouble. The police came to investigate, and Chen Yang was taken away as well. If there hadn't been a lack of substantial evidence, he'd still be in the police station. But it was only a matter of time; the Shen family was now free to settle scores one by one, with the Chen family being the first to suffer.
To be honest, Shen Qingxi's move had caught the Chen family somewhat off guard. After all, Shen Qingxi had never acted so ruthlessly before.
Everyone has their own code of conduct; if you come at me with the weapon of law, who can beat you? Therefore, Chen Yang could only resort to this tactic.
As long as he could get Shen Qingxi to back down, the matter would be over. Afterwards, he would naturally retaliate against Shen Qingxi. As for the Shen Group, if it were Shen Qingxi's father, the Chen family would never dare to do anything to the Shen Group.
But if it were just Shen Qingxi himself , Chen Yang, having worked in Jiangcheng, knew Shen Qingxi's capabilities all too well. He wasn't afraid at all.
The Shen Group, under Shen Qingxi's control, would inevitably run into trouble sooner or later.
It was just a matter of time! Of course, if Shen Qingxi was relentless, he wasn't without other preparations.
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open. A waiter led three people in. It was Shen Qingxi, Pang Cheng, and Qu Rou. Chen Yang's gaze immediately fell on Qu Rou, his eyes filled with malice.
Shen Qingxi took a step forward. "I'll gouge out your eyes."
Shen Qingxi smiled, but it startled Chen Yang. He understood Shen Qingxi and knew that Shen Qingxi was just bluffing. After all, Shen Qingxi was law-abiding. However, Shen Qingxi could come up with all sorts of ways to torment people within the bounds of the law.
Chen Yang said, "Young Master Shen, your temper is still as bad as ever."
Shen Qingxi said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. It's not like we just met yesterday. Don't give me that face-saving talk. What, you think you've forgotten your grudge? Stop with the nonsense. Aren't we eating? What are you doing standing there like this?"
Chen Yang's face instantly darkened: "Shen Qingxi, don't go too far."
Shen Qingxi looked at Pang Cheng: "Old Pang, I remember you told me he probably needs something from me, right?"
Pang Cheng smiled: "Yes, President Shen."
Shen Qingxi shoved Chen Yang aside and plopped down in the head seat, one leg propped on the chair.
"Come on, Xiao Yangzi, pour some tea, or I'll just turn around and leave. You know I'm capable of that."
Qu Rou and Pang Cheng exchanged a glance.
Both of them smiled and found a seat.
All three of their eyes fell on Chen Yang.
Chen Yang clenched his fists.
He forced a smile and picked up the teapot to pour tea for Shen Qingxi.
"Young Master Shen, please!"
Shen Qingxi picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Pah, what is this? Did you bring this tea yourself? I thought it was mouthwash."
Chen Yang clenched his fists even tighter.
Shen Qingxi's lips curled up. This is funny.
Especially funny!
The Chen Yang of the past, when he was bullied, would avoid him, genuinely afraid of him.
Unlike now, he was clearly furious but had to endure it.
Shen Qingxi suddenly understood where those domineering CEOs got their pleasure from bullying others.
"Isn't this just pure wish-fulfillment fiction?"
Chen Yang said. "Young Master Shen is right. After all, our Chen family is a small, insignificant family, naturally not comparable to the Shen family, and naturally we can't enjoy Young Master Shen's tastes!"
Shen Qingxi stroked his chin.
He looked at Pang Cheng: "Old Pang, was he subtly mocking me just now?"
Shen Qingxi was too sincere; he asked directly what he wanted to know.
Pang Cheng suppressed a smile: "I think he meant that."
Chen Yang was dumbfounded. Isn't this normal?
Isn't it just a verbal exchange?
Why did he say it out loud?
Shen Qingxi slammed his hand on the table: "You son of a bitch, Chen Yang, you invited me to dinner, and I came, and you still dare to mock me.
I'm not eating! You wait, I'll go back and flip through the Civil Code and kill you, you bastard!"
With that, he stood up.
Pang Cheng and Qu Rou followed closely behind.
Chen Yang was startled: "Wait a minute, Young Master Shen, there's a misunderstanding, there's something wrong here!"
Shen Qingxi completely ignored Chen Yang and walked straight out.
Chen Yang clung tightly to Shen Qingxi's arm.
"No, no, Young Master Shen, it's my fault, it's my fault!"
Shen Qingxi stopped: "What did you do wrong?"
Chen Yang endured the humiliation: "I misspoke, it's my fault, Young Master Shen is magnanimous!"
Pang Cheng, standing to the side, gave Shen Qingxi a wink, telling him to stop while he was ahead.
Shen Qingxi coughed twice.
"Alright, I'll give you another chance then. Little Yang, you need to be careful in the future! Don't be so clueless.
Why did you provoke me?
Am I too weak to even mention the Civil Code? Or have you gotten too cocky?"
Chen Yang's lips twitched: "Young Master Shen is right."
Watching Shen Qingxi sit down,
Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
" That idiot, he'll get his revenge sooner or later."
Shen Qingxi sat there casually: "Aren't you going to serve the food?"
Chen Yang was about to go crazy. He felt a fire burning in his head that he couldn't suppress.
"Serve it, serve it now! Waiter, bring the food!"
Soon, dishes were placed on the table one after another.
Chen Yang said, "Young Master Shen, there's something..."
But before he could finish, Shen Qingxi interrupted him: "You're treating me to this?"
Chen Yang was a little confused, not knowing what Shen Qingxi wanted to do.
Wasn't this Blue Ocean Hotel under the Shen family?
"Young Master Shen, is there something wrong with this food?"
Shen Qingxi said, "Little Yang, do you have some misunderstanding about me? Who am I?"
Chen Yang scratched his head: "Young Master Shen?"
Shen Qingxi said, "Look, you said it yourself, my surname is Shen, the Shen of Jiangcheng. You're treating me to this? I start my breakfast at 100,000 or 200,000."
Pang Cheng, who was standing next to him, almost couldn't hold back. A bowl of wontons for breakfast cost eight yuan.
Chen Yang's lips twitched slightly.
A breakfast costing 100,000 or 200,000? This isn't like when you were in school eating leek and egg buns for breakfast, is it?
But Chen Yang couldn't lash out.
He could only suppress his temper.
"Then what does Young Master Shen mean?"
Shen Qingxi said, "Never mind, I know your family is small and you wouldn't understand. Pang Cheng, go order."
Shen Qingxi winked at Pang Cheng.
Pang Cheng instantly understood: "I'll go right now."
Then, Pang Cheng stood up immediately.
Before Chen Yang could stop him, Pang Cheng had already left.
