96: Stop talking

Ever since Shen Xi had beaten him up at the sales office last night, Zhao Delong had been in a state of unease.

On one hand, it was for Zhao Minsheng's revenge.

On the other hand, it was for his own life.

He didn't dare to entrust his life to the idea that Shen Xi wouldn't trouble him, as he had no initiative whatsoever.

Coupled with the fact that Liu Piaoling clearly had no intention of protecting him, this made him even more anxious.

To save his own life, Zhao Delong was trying every possible way to win over other powerful individuals.

No matter how strong Shen Xi was, could he deal with one of them, and could he deal with a group of powerful individuals?

Xu Shirui's father was one of the people Zhao Delong was trying to win over.

However, the Two People's relationship on normal days was just average; they were merely ordinary colleagues who nodded and greeted each other.

But if Xu Shirui was bullied and Zhao Delong stood up for him, their relationship could quickly warm up, and he might even be able to tie the other party to his warship.

Because of this, Zhao Delong's attitude towards Xu Shirui was exceptionally kind, as if he were a respectable elder concerned about a Junior.

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, you must stand up for me!"

When Xu Shirui saw Zhao Delong, his nose tingled, and he quickly hugged the latter's thigh.

He had been holding back tears, but at this moment, he completely broke down.

The feeling of having someone to back you up was truly wonderful!

"What exactly is going on? Who dares to bully you? Uncle Zhao will get justice for you! Damn it, do they really think we have no one?!"

Zhao Delong was overjoyed; this matter was settled. With Xu Shirui's current state, getting on good terms with the other party's father would be no problem.

As he spoke, he patted his chest, looking indignant.

"It was a bastard kid. Just because I said a few words that made him unhappy, he threw me from upstairs. He's still on the third floor!"

Xu Shirui explained, feeling wronged.

"He's gone too far! You're at least a Senator's son. How dare he be so presumptuous? Believe it or not, I'll make sure he can't survive in the Inner City. Let's go, we'll go upstairs together, Uncle Zhao will help you vent this anger!"

With that, Zhao Delong took the lead and walked towards Star Zenith Department Store.

Xu Shirui quickly patted the dust off his body, ignoring the pain, and hurried to follow.

This time, he was determined to get his revenge.

The Two People quickly arrived on the third floor.

"Who bullied my great nephew? Get out here now!"

As soon as Zhao Delong stood firm, he roared loudly.

His eyes were extremely sinister, and his face was still filled with anger.

These expressions, of course, were for Xu Shirui to see.

And when Xu Shirui saw this, his heart indeed warmed. Everyone said that Uncle Zhao's relationship with his father was average, but now it seemed that was not the case at all.

Uncle Zhao was still very good to him.

Heavenly Character Private Room Number One.

Shen Xi was studying the outlines of the three Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques he had chosen, confirming once again that these three were exactly what he needed.

Before he had a chance to purchase them, he heard a rather familiar voice from outside the door.

Curious, Shen Xi walked out of the private room.

As for Manager Wang and the two chubby brothers, they naturally followed quickly.

As soon as he stepped out of the private room, he saw Zhao Delong, looking arrogant.

Then, his gaze fell upon the smug Xu Shirui.

Shen Xi's eyes instantly turned cold: "Zhao Delong, are you going to stand up for Xu Shirui?"

Hearing this, Zhao Delong shivered.

Then, upon seeing Shen Xi, cold sweat involuntarily broke out on his forehead.

How could he encounter this guy everywhere?

No!

Judging by the other party's tone, it seemed that the one who threw Xu Shirui downstairs was him?

"He's the one who threw you downstairs?"

Zhao Delong asked, feeling a little guilty.

"That's right, it's him! Uncle Zhao, beat him up! No, cripple him, and let him know that we're not to be trifled with!"

Xu Shirui had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

He spoke with extreme excitement, as if he had already seen Shen Xi beaten into a pulp, crawling at his feet in a miserable state.

Gulp!

Zhao Delong swallowed with difficulty, wishing he could slap himself twice.

Why didn't he ask a few more questions?

If he had known the other party was Shen Xi, he would rather die than actively seek trouble.

He had barely saved his life last night, and now he was coming to trouble Shen Xi again. Wasn't this just asking for death?

In fact, if Zhao Delong had known that Shen Xi was personally accompanied by Manager Wang and had entered Heavenly Character Private Room Number One, even if he didn't know the other party was Shen Xi, he could have guessed that the other party's identity was extraordinary.

Then he wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.

But precisely because he didn't ask clearly, and Xu Shirui didn't explain clearly, this misunderstanding occurred.

Thinking of this, Zhao Delong's teeth itched with hatred.

It was one thing for him not to know the situation, but shouldn't Xu Shirui have explained it clearly?

Beside him, Xu Shirui had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and chattered on: "Uncle Zhao, don't waste words with this kid. Just beat him so badly his own mother won't recognize him."

"Anyway, he's just trash. Even if he dies, it doesn't matter."

"Oh, and he has two friends. Let's deal with them too! They dare to be so arrogant, they must pay the price."

"And that Manager named Wang, he just stood by and watched me get thrown downstairs. We can't let him off either."

Beat Shen Xi?

It would be good enough if he didn't get beaten himself.

If they really started fighting, could Shen Xi beat him so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him?

As for Manager Wang?

Zhao Delong dared even less to act.

The other party's background was not simple. Moreover, while Manager Wang seemed to be in charge of Star Zenith Department Store on the surface, in reality, the true power was held by the several powerful individuals on the top floor!

No!

Even if those powerful individuals didn't make a move, Zhao Delong was not confident he could defeat Manager Wang, who was also in the Initial Stage of Acquired Realm!

Hearing Xu Shirui's words, Zhao Delong's body trembled. He lowered his voice and said, "Stop talking."

Xu Shirui persisted: "Uncle Zhao, I know you want to act directly, but before that, let me enjoy myself and say some harsh words."

"You don't know how I was bullied by them before. Now I want them to know the consequences of offending me."

Zhao Delong almost cried when he heard this. He just wanted to win over Xu Shirui's father, not seek death!

He said somewhat humbly, "My little ancestor, stop talking."

Xu Shirui was still stubborn: "They are just a bunch of..."

Slap!

A crisp slap echoed.

Xu Shirui was instantly stunned.

He looked at Zhao Delong in disbelief.

The other party actually hit him?

"I told you to stop talking, and you're still chattering non-stop. Is there something wrong with you? Did a donkey kick your brain? Didn't you notice something was off?"

"This young man, let alone you, even if your father came, he wouldn't dare to offend him. Do you understand?"

"Damn it, if you want to die, go die, don't drag me down!"
