343: Chapter 343 Squid

The crowd loved watching the drama and even added fuel to the fire from the sidelines.

"In my opinion, kneeling and kowtowing to apologize is too lenient for him. He should be made to kneel here for three days and three nights."

"Tsk! What you guys are suggesting is small potatoes. It would be better to make him our slave for a few days!"

Shen Yan stood up as if he hadn't heard a thing.

As he walked toward Gu Xuantian, he asked a completely irrelevant question.

"How many times did you just call me a bastard and a good-for-nothing?"

Gu Xuantian sneered, "What? You don't accept that? So what if you don't? I love seeing you look at me with disgust but being unable to touch me!"

Shen Yan nodded, then turned to Chen Guangke and said, "Take out your phone and record a video."

Although Chen Guangke didn't know what Shen Yan intended to do, he obediently followed the instruction.

He sat on the chair, took out his phone, tapped the camera, and selected video mode.

"Beep!"

The video officially began recording.

At this moment, Gu Xuantian sensed that something was wrong.

He frowned, straightened up, and asked Shen Yan, who was approaching him step by step, "What are you trying to do?"

Shen Yan didn't answer him; he continued walking toward Gu Xuantian.

A few seconds later.

A scream rang out.

"Ah!!!"

Gu Xuantian was knocked onto the living room floor by a punch from Shen Yan.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, the surrounding people hadn't even reacted to what had just occurred.

It wasn't until Shen Yan continued to beat Gu Xuantian, and Gu Xuantian kept screaming miserably, that they belatedly realized Gu Xuantian was being beaten.

"Aaaah!!!"

The internet celebrity screamed.

"You actually dared to hit someone, damn it!"

Gu Xuantian's hangers-on started cursing.

"What are you all still watching? Hurry up and pull this lunatic off him!"

While being beaten, Gu Xuantian glared with fury and yelled at his hangers-on.

As soon as the words fell, that group of hangers-on remembered and stepped forward to intervene.

Just as they were about to rush forward to stop him empty-handed, Shen Yan suddenly picked up the red wine glass from the table and smashed it against the corner of the table.

"Crash!"

Glass shards scattered everywhere.

Everyone was so scared that they dared not move.

They had seen people getting beaten before.

But they had never seen anyone dare to hit Gu Xuantian.

Seeing Shen Yan place the sharp, broken shards of the red wine glass over Gu Xuantian's wide-open eyes, they were all stunned with fear.

"Bro-brother... calm down!"

"That's right, he's the heir to the Gu Corporation. If you really stab him, you'll be finished later!"

Hearing this, Shen Yan curled his lips, "I remember what you called me just now? Bastard? Good-for-nothing?"

Gu Xuantian trembled with fear.

Since childhood, no one had ever dared to treat him this way.

He had never experienced the proximity of death so closely.

Seeing the glass shard just a few centimeters from his eyeball, he couldn't help but cry out of fear.

"I-I'm sorry... I shouldn't have called you a bastard and a good-for-nothing. I was just momentarily enraged, that's why I said it. Please let me go. As long as you let me go, I'll give you whatever amount of money you want!"

Honestly, Shen Yan hadn't expected Gu Xuantian to be so easily frightened.

He had merely placed the wine glass shards in front of Gu Xuantian's eyes, and Gu Xuantian immediately started crying.

He paused for quite a while before saying to Gu Xuantian with interest, "You're so timid. How did you dare to demand that I kneel and apologize to you? Can you even handle that?"

Gu Xuantian stammered, "I can't handle it, I really can't handle it. I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked you to kneel and apologize to me. Can I kneel and apologize to you instead? Can you stop pointing that thing at me...?"

Shen Yan frowned slightly.

"How can that be? I'm the bastard and good-for-nothing in your eyes. If you kneel and apologize to me, wouldn't that make you worse than a pig or a dog?"

As he spoke, he moved the wine glass down, placing it on Gu Xuantian's face.

Gu Xuantian felt a stinging pain on his face and shuddered.

"No... don't! I-I really know I was wrong. I'm willing to kneel and apologize to you. If you say I'm worse than a pig or a dog, then I am worse than a pig or a dog..."

Shen Yan's hand moved again.

A bead of blood popped out.

Red scratches began to appear on Gu Xuantian's face.

"What do you mean, 'If I say you're worse than a pig or a dog, then you are'? Don't you think you yourself are worse than a pig or a dog?"

The pain on his face stunned Gu Xuantian.

"I-I-I am worse than a pig or a dog. I think I am worse than a pig or a dog. I was truly wrong. Can you be my father?"

"Or do you want money? If you want money, I'll give you all my money. If my money isn't enough, I'll ask my grandfather to give it to you!"

Seeing that Gu Xuantian was starting to speak incoherently, Shen Yan shook his head, finding it extremely boring.

Gu Xuantian had been barking so fiercely just now; Shen Yan thought he would resist to the death. Unexpectedly, the other party looked like he was about to wet himself before Shen Yan had even started anything.

Thinking this, he straightened up and patted the side of Gu Xuantian's swollen face with his hand.

"You just said the people in my lab were poached by you, right?"

"Who told you to do that? Did you want to do it yourself, or did Chairman Gu tell you to do it?"

Gu Xuantian cried out in pain.

"Ah! I... I wanted to do it myself."

"I'm sorry, I was really wrong, please forgive me..."

Shen Yan nodded.

"I can forgive you, but I like to treat others as they treat me. You messed with my project, so I have to ruin your project too."

"I remember you invested in a few artificial intelligence project, right?"

Gu Xuantian dared not say no.

He answered with a trembling hand, "Yes... I invested in a few artificial intelligence project."

Shen Yan hummed.

"Then withdraw your investment."

"If you withdraw your investment, I'll forgive you."

Gu Xuantian agreed without hesitation.

As long as he could escape his current predicament, he was willing to do anything.

As for whether he would actually withdraw the investment after escaping...?

Nonsense!

He certainly wouldn't! He wasn't a fool!

Of course, Shen Yan wasn't a fool either.

He could see Gu Xuantian's perfunctory attitude.

Fortunately, his purpose for coming here wasn't to force Gu Xuantian to withdraw his investment.

"Since you agreed, then this matter is settled..."

Shen Yan spoke while retracting the glass shard in his hand.

Just as he was about to completely pull it back, Gu Xuantian's expression suddenly became extremely ferocious.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

As the words fell.

Gu Xuantian snatched the ashtray from the table and hurled it forcefully toward Shen Yan's head.

"Bang!"

The ashtray fell to the ground.

Gu Xuantian was pinned back onto the living room floor.

"Pfft! I was just kidding. Why did you actually believe me? Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Gu Xuantian's face was filled with despair.

He cast his gaze around himself.

He noticed that all the beautiful internet celebrities and Gu Xuantian's hangers-on were watching like an audience, wearing fake concern on their faces, but in reality, they were all just spectating.

The thought that others had seen his humiliating appearance filled him with immense anger. He shouted furiously at Shen Yan, "What exactly do you want to do?!"
