105: The insidious Xiao Yu

"There are no 'buts'." Wang Chen interrupted her, "Trust me."

Su Yue looked at his firm gaze, and the unease in her heart gradually subsided.

That's right, this man could even handle Xiao Yu, what was there to fear?

She suddenly thought of something, her face turning red: "Um... Xiao Xi, she... is she your girlfriend now?"

Wang Chen rubbed his nose: "I suppose so. I said I'd take responsibility."

Su Yue's expression was complex.

Her own sister and her own man... this relationship was a bit messy.

But on second thought, how could a man like Wang Chen only have one woman by his side?

Being able to take responsibility for her sister was already considered being responsible.

"Then in the future... you must treat her well," Su Yue said.

"I will," Wang Chen nodded, "And you too."

The two looked at each other, their gazes gradually changing.

The temperature in the living room seemed to be rising.

Su Yue's face grew redder and redder, and she said softly, "Let's... let's go to the bedroom."

Wang Chen understood her meaning, picked her up, and walked toward the bedroom.

A reunion after a long absence is better than a wedding night.

Over an hour later.

Su Yue leaned in Wang Chen's arms, her hand gently stroking Wang Chen's cheek.

"Wang Chen..."

"Hmm?"

"In the future... will you come to see me often?"

"Of course." Wang Chen kissed her forehead, "But it has to be in secret, otherwise it'll be trouble if Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xiao run into us."

Su Yue chuckled, "So you know how to be afraid now?"

"What am I afraid of?" Wang Chen raised an eyebrow, "I'm just worried you'll be embarrassed."

The two talked for a while longer.

At 4:30 PM.

Su Yue suddenly sat up: "You should leave quickly. Xiao Xiao gets off work at 5:30. In case she comes back early..."

Wang Chen said helplessly: "Does this count as throwing me away after you're done with me?"

"Oh, just go!" Su Yue pushed him, "Tomorrow... tomorrow I'll spend more time with you."

Wang Chen had no choice but to get up and get dressed.

Before he left, Su Yue hugged him again and gave him a kiss on the lips: "Stay safe. Be careful... about the Xiao Family side."

"I know."

Wang Chen walked out of the residential area and looked back at the window of Su Yue's home.

Su Yue stood by the window and waved at him.

Wang Chen smiled, got into his car, and left.

In the rearview mirror, that window grew further and further away.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu was sitting in his office at the Hangzhou City branch of the Xiao Group, dialing a number with a dark expression.

"Dad, it's me."

"I'm in Hangzhou City... something happened."

"Yes, a person named Wang Chen."

"I want him dead."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a full ten seconds.

Xiao Yu gripped his phone, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"Dad?" he asked tentatively again.

"I'm listening." Xiao Ding's deep voice finally came through, devoid of emotion.

"You said something happened in Hangzhou City. What exactly happened?"

Xiao Yu took a deep breath and began to recount.

Of course, he concealed the part about Su Xi and only said that at a cocktail party, Wang Chen publicly humiliated him, injured his bodyguards, and finally detained him in the hotel for over a dozen hours.

"He simply doesn't respect the Xiao Family at all!" Xiao Yu gnashed his teeth, "Dad, this person must be dealt with! Otherwise, where will our Xiao Family's face be?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone again.

Xiao Ding was sixty-eight years old this year and had been in charge of the Xiao Family for nearly thirty years. What storms had he not seen!

He knew his son too well.

He would believe at most half of what Xiao Yu said.

But the problem was, someone who could make Xiao Yu suffer such a big loss was definitely not simple.

"That Wang Chen, what's his background?" Xiao Ding asked.

"He's just an upstart!" Xiao Yu said hatefully, "He has some properties in Hangzhou City, opened a few hotel and media companies, and thinks he's someone just because he has some stinking money!"

"Just that?" Xiao Ding asked back, "Then how does he dare to touch you?"

"He..." Xiao Yu choked for a moment, "He has a group of very capable fighters under him. He probably hired a professional security company."

"Security company?" Xiao Ding keenly caught the keyword, "Which one?"

"...Dragon Shield International!" Xiao Yu originally wanted to hide Dragon Shield International, but facing his father's questioning, he had to say it.

And even if he didn't say it, his father would find out anyway!

A slight sound of inhaling came from the other end of the phone.

Although it was very soft, Xiao Yu heard it.

"Dad?"

"I see." Xiao Ding's voice suddenly became serious, "Don't worry about this for now. Come back to the Imperial Capital and don't go to Hangzhou City lately."

"What?!" Xiao Yu was anxious, "Dad, he humiliated me like this, and we're just going to let it go?"

"I said, come back to the Imperial Capital." Xiao Ding emphasized his tone, "Wait for my news first."

"But..."

"Beep beep beep—"

The call was hung up.

Xiao Yu stared blankly at his phone, then furiously smashed it onto the ground!

"Damn it!"

The expensive custom-made phone instantly shattered into pieces.

Still not satisfied, he picked up the ashtray on the table and smashed it against the decorative painting on the wall.

"Bang!"

The glass of the picture frame shattered all over the floor.

Outside the door, the secretary carefully opened a crack in the door and only poked her head in: "Pres... President Xiao..."

"Get out!" Xiao Yu roared.

The secretary was so scared that she pulled her head back and quickly closed the door.

Xiao Yu paced back and forth in the office, his expression terrifyingly dark.

His father's attitude made him very unhappy.

What did "wait for my news" mean? What did "don't worry about it" mean?

Wasn't this just telling him to back down?!

When had he, Xiao Yu, ever suffered such an insult?!

No, it couldn't just end like this.

He walked to the desk and pulled out the bottom drawer, which contained a backup phone used for emergency contact.

Xiao Yu stared at the backup phone for a few seconds, and finally picked it up and dialed a number.

The phone rang five times before it was connected.

A neutral voice processed through a voice changer came from the other side.

"Hello!"

"I'm Xiao Yu." Xiao Yu lowered his voice, "I have a job. Do you take it?"

"Target?"

"Wang Chen. A person from the Dragon Kingdom, currently in Hangzhou City. I'll send you the photo and information later."

"A person from the Dragon Kingdom? Difficulty?"

"He has people from Dragon Shield International protecting him."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"More money."

"How much?"

"Five times."

Xiao Yu gnashed his teeth: "Fine! But I want him dead!"

"Pay half the deposit first, the usual rules."

"Understood."

The call hung up.

Xiao Yu held the backup phone, his gaze venomous and terrifying.

Wang Chen, you just wait.

I'll make you regret coming into this world.

Imperial Capital, Xiao Family Manor.

In the study, Xiao Ding put down the phone, his brows furrowed.

On the sofa in front of him sat a man in his early thirties wearing a suit.

It was the eldest young master of the Xiao Family, Xiao Yi.

"Dad, did Xiao Yu get into trouble again?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Yeah." Xiao Ding rubbed his temples, "In Hangzhou City, he had a conflict with a person named Wang Chen."

"Wang Chen?" Xiao Yi thought for a moment, "Never heard of him."

"Of course you haven't heard of him." Xiao Ding smiled bitterly, "I just found out myself. This person is the behind-the-scenes boss of Dragon Shield International."
