155: Xia Qingcheng

"President Wang! I'm here! At your beck and call!" He lay prostrate on the ground like a dog.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Was this... the second young master of the Xiao Family?

That arrogant and overbearing Xiao Yu from the Imperial Capital?

How did he end up in this state?

Wang Chen pointed at Zhao Mingxuan on the ground. "He says he's one of yours."

Xiao Yu looked up, saw Zhao Mingxuan, and froze for a moment.

Zhao Mingxuan acted as if he had seen a savior. "Young Master Xiao! Save me, Young Master Xiao! Wang Chen had someone break my hand! You have to stand up for me!"

Xiao Yu's face instantly turned pale.

He scrambled up, rushed over to Zhao Mingxuan, and raised his foot—

*Thump!*

He kicked Zhao Mingxuan right in the face.

"Who the hell are you?! Do I even know you?!" Xiao Yu cursed as he kicked. "Any random stray dares to claim to be my man? Are you even worthy?"

Zhao Mingxuan was dazed from the kicking. "Young Master Xiao... I'm Zhao Mingxuan... Last month in the Imperial Capital, I even treated you to dinner..."

"Dinner?" Xiao Yu grew even angrier. "Dinner my ass!"

He kicked Zhao Mingxuan and his group a few more times, then turned around and knelt before Wang Chen again.

"President Wang! I don't know this man! He's talking nonsense! In this life, I, Xiao Yu, only recognize you as my master! No one else is worthy!"

The entire room fell into a dead silence.

Everyone was so shocked by this scene that they were speechless.

Wang Chen looked at Xiao Yu and said indifferently, "These people harassed my women. You tell me, how should they be handled?"

Xiao Yu said without hesitation, "Throw them out to feed the dogs!"

He stood up and said to Captain Chen beside Wang Chen, "Captain Chen, I'll handle this! I guarantee President Wang will be satisfied!"

Dragon looked at Wang Chen.

Wang Chen nodded.

Xiao Yu immediately ordered two of his subordinates who had followed him, "Drag these pieces of trash out! Break their legs! Throw them in the garbage dump!"

"Yes!"

Several subordinates stepped forward and dragged Zhao Mingxuan and the others out like dead dogs.

The screams gradually faded into the distance.

Xiao Yu knelt again. "President Wang, I've handled it. Do you have any other instructions?"

Wang Chen waved his hand. "Leave."

"Yes!" Xiao Yu felt like he had been granted a massive pardon and scrambled away.

In the banquet hall, there was a heavy silence.

The heads of the Liu Family and the Sun Family were pale and trembling all over.

They knew their sons were finished.

Having offended Wang Chen and lost face in front of so many big shots... the Zhao Family, Liu Family, and Sun Family... would likely be wiped out in Hangzhou City.

Wang Chen stood up, put his arms around Yang Li and Xiang Tingting, and said to the women, "Let's go. We're going home."

Du Ruoxi and the others nodded and followed behind him.

When he reached the door, Wang Chen stopped and looked back at the room.

His gaze swept over the heads of the Liu and Sun families, and over those who had just been watching the spectacle.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

"Chen Yi," Wang Chen spoke.

"Boss."

"Handle the rest."

"Yes."

Wang Chen left with the women.

In the banquet hall, there was a deathly silence.

Everyone knew that after today, the sky over Hangzhou City... was going to change.

Chen Yi walked onto the stage and picked up the microphone.

"Everyone, apologies for the little incident. The banquet will continue, please enjoy yourselves."

But who still had an appetite?

The heads of the Liu and Sun families had already chased after him, wanting to beg Wang Chen for mercy.

Others were also discussing in low voices.

"So ruthless..."

"Xiao Yu actually knelt to Wang Chen..."

"The Zhao Family is finished..."

"From now on in Hangzhou City, you can offend anyone but Wang Chen..."

"And his women... you can't touch a single one of them..."

The banquet continued, but the atmosphere had completely changed.

At the entrance of the Chenxi Grand Hotel.

Wang Chen saw the women into the Rolls-Royce.

"You guys go back first," he said to Du Ruoxi. "I'll be back later."

Du Ruoxi nodded. "Don't... be too angry."

"I know." Wang Chen kissed her forehead.

The car drove away.

Wang Chen stood at the hotel entrance and lit a cigarette.

Dragon and Tiger stood behind him.

"Boss, how should we handle those boys?" Dragon asked.

"Let Xiao Yu handle it," Wang Chen puffed out some smoke. "Doesn't he want to prove himself? Give him the chance."

"Yes."

Wang Chen finished his cigarette and threw the butt into the trash can.

"I'm going for a walk."

"Boss, we..."

"No need to follow. Go do what you need to do."

Wang Chen walked toward the garden behind the hotel alone.

He wanted some peace and quiet.

Although today's matter had been handled, he still felt disgruntled.

His women were his reverse scale.

Touch them, and you die!

The garden was very quiet, with almost no one around.

Wang Chen found a bench, sat down, and closed his eyes.

In his mind, Xiang Tingting's frightened expression, Yang Li's aggrieved look, and Du Ruoxi's eyes as she feigned composure kept flashing!

"Dammit..."

Just then!

"Excuse me... are you Mr. Wang Chen?"

A soft female voice sounded from behind him.

Wang Chen opened his eyes and turned to look.

Then, he froze.

Beside the flower bushes behind the bench stood a woman.

She looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, wearing a simple white dress with long hair cascading over her shoulders. Her features were exceptionally pure and beautiful.

But what stunned Wang Chen wasn't her looks, although they were indeed high—at least a 90 or above.

It was her eyes.

In those eyes, there was... something very special.

It looked like wisdom, yet also like the weariness of time.

And there was also... an indescribable feeling.

Wang Chen stood up. "I am. And you are?"

The woman walked over and extended her hand. "Hello, my name is Xia Qingcheng."

Her hand was very cold.

Wang Chen took it and felt thin calluses on her fingers.

"Does Miss Xia have business with me?" Wang Chen asked curiously.

Xia Qingcheng looked at him and smiled slightly. "I want to discuss a business deal with you. A deal... that could make you the richest man in the world."

Wang Chen raised an eyebrow.

That opening line was quite interesting.

"What business?"

Xia Qingcheng didn't answer directly but said, "I know you've been dealing with Hades Hall and Dain Company lately. I also know you have something they want."

Her gaze fell on Wang Chen's face as she said word by word:

"The contents of the Silver Suitcase—have you opened it yet?"

Wang Chen's gaze instantly sharpened.

The Silver Suitcase!

After bringing it back from Fisherman's Bay, it had been locked in Dragon Shield's most secure safe.

Aside from Dragon, Rat, and the others of the Twelve Zodiac Signs, as well as Bai Li, no one else knew of its existence.

The Twelve Zodiac Signs were all Wang Chen's own people, and Bai Li obviously wouldn't talk!

How did this woman know?

He didn't speak, but just stared fixedly at Xia Qingcheng.

That gaze was like a knife, as if it wanted to cut her open from the inside out.

Xia Qingcheng felt her skin crawl under Wang Chen's stare, and goosebumps rose on her arms.

She suddenly became alert; the man before her was the "Dragon King" who had wiped out half of Hades Hall.

Earlier at the banquet, she had seen with her own eyes Xiao Yu kneeling before him like a dog.

She had also seen how those playboys were dragged out.
