40: Chapter 40: Come!

Kneel before me!

40: Chapter 40: Come!

Kneel before me!

“Laughing at what?”

Tang Xiao stood up and moved to the window to take a look.

Just then, she saw Wang Kun gesturing an order, and six burly men rushed into the building.

“Tsk tsk, quite a threatening approach!” Tang Xiao said with a sneer.

Wu Jie closed the window and sat down, “Look at him, he won’t be satisfied until he’s tortured me to death to vent his anger!”

Tang Xiao lifted her cup and asked with an amused smile, “Do you need my help later?

Although with your skills, dealing with two or three brutes shouldn’t be a problem, but there are six of them!!”

“Forget it!” Wu Jie laughed, “I’m seriously afraid of an old injury recurring!”

“Don’t worry, I brought medicine.

If the old injury comes back, just get a shot!” Tang Xiao said righteously.

Wu Jie gave a thumbs-up, “How righteous of you!”

Tang Xiao chuckled and glanced sideways towards the entrance of the restaurant.

“Here they come!”

Wu Jie looked up slightly and saw six burly men walk in.

The first three went straight to the cashier, while the other three waited for Wang Kun’s very flashy entrance before trailing behind him.

At the cashier.

The three burly men exchanged a few words with the cashier, who seemed to want to argue about something, but with a slap, a thick stack of cash was thrown in his face.

Money can make a ghost push a mill!

Buying out the place with cash!

The employees quickly persuaded the customers to leave, not even charging them for their meals.

In less than a minute, the restaurant was emptied, and the employees all hid outside, not daring to come in.

Wang Kun lit a cigarette and walked over leisurely.

Blowing a smoke ring, Wang Kun nonchalantly took a seat at a diagonal table.

The six burly men stood on either side of him, looking very domineering.

“President Tang, what a coincidence to see you here!”

Wang Kun’s smile was mocking, and his tone frivolous.

Tang Xiao gave Wang Kun a cold glance, “A coincidence?

You’ve been tailing us since we left the corporation building.

What kind of coincidence is that?”

Wang Kun narrowed his eyes with a wicked smile, “I heard a rumor that after your car accident, it seems you sparked some love.

I didn’t believe it, but seeing it today, it seems to be quite the affair indeed!”

“Who said that?

Xie Wanjun?” Tang Xiao scoffed and shook her head, “I’ve long suspected that my secretary has been leaking information, leading you privileged young masters to harass me repeatedly…”

“Wait a second!”

Wang Kun propped up one leg, laughing, “I was blind before, thinking that we were the most suited for each other, a match made by heaven with matching backgrounds.

But I don’t think so anymore.”

“Look at you, a CEO of a listed company with personal wealth of at least several billion, yet you could fall for a scrub like Wu Jie.

What can he bring to you?

A sense of superiority in a female-dominated relationship, or are you just simply after a robust pretty boy to keep?”

“Whatever the reason, frankly, I can’t compliment your taste.

So from now on, let’s keep to our own paths, whether in our personal dealings or between our companies, I hope we can all live in peace.”

Changing the subject, Wang Kun scrutinizingly eyed Wu Jie.

“However, he’s not getting away today!

He embarrassed me in public last night, and I must have my revenge!”

Tang Xiao turned to him with a cold gaze, “Are you sick in the head?

You were the one harassing Zheng Yun and Meng Li in public, how do you blame Wu Jie for that?

Do you have any evidence?”

“Evidence be damned!”

Wang Kun blew out a smoke ring, “Just like I hired someone to cause the car accident.

Even if he had been killed, it would’ve been nothing but an accidental traffic death!”

“What’s more, right before I made a fool of myself last night, I just happened to see him there.

What more is there to say?

A good deed deserves another, and so does a grudge.

I’ve come here today to settle things with him!”

Tang Xiao laughed mockingly.

“Oh!

Since you’ve admitted it, that makes things much easier!”

“So tell me, how do you want to handle this?

Do you want these six muscle men to beat him half to death, or do you want to silence him permanently?

Just give it to me straight!”

Wang Kun smacked his lips on a cigarette, shaking his head with a sheepish smile.

“No, no, no, President Tang, you’ve got it all wrong!

I’m a very civilized gentleman; I don’t want to resort to violence.

Plus, I’m magnanimous.

As long as Wu Jie is willing to kowtow and admit his mistake, I can forgive him, and we can all pretend nothing ever happened!”

“After all, I’ve bought back the Tianyuan Flower Water Bay project.

I’ll continue being the rich second generation, and he can remain a poor loser.

We will never have anything to do with each other again.

So why are you still standing there, Wu Jie?

Aren’t you going to hurry over and apologize to brother?”

Wang Kun sneered incessantly.

This was clearly a trap!

There’s gold under a man’s knees!

Expect Wu Jie to kneel before him?

That would be worse than killing him.

Of course, considering the upscale nature of this restaurant, they wouldn’t kill someone, but they’d definitely cripple them.

Tang Xiao guessed that, with Wang Kun’s rogue-like arrogance, it wasn’t Wu Jie’s hands or feet he wanted to maim, but rather something symbolic of a man’s virility.

After all, Wu Jie had humiliated him last night by forcing him to act disgracefully in front of Meng Li and Zheng Yun, two grown men, completely losing face.

And to strike back, the most satisfying way would be to incapacitate Wu Jie, leaving him unable to perform as a man and making him a eunuch instead.

But…

There was something Tang Xiao didn’t understand.

Why wasn’t Wu Jie moving at all?

Wang Kun had brought six hulking muscle men; each one was imposing and extremely strong.

Even without striking, charging at him together would maim Wu Jie.

But looking at Wu Jie’s expression, he seemed to be enjoying the prospect of being surrounded by a pack of wolves.

“Scared stiff, huh?

Don’t think playing dumb will get you through this!” Wang Kun snuffed out his cigarette on the table, huffing, “If you don’t want to kowtow and apologize, that’s fine.

Let my brothers here take away a couple of your ‘little things’!”

“Right, President Tang, to avoid accidentally hurting you, I think there’s some nice coffee over there.

Why don’t you go have a drink?”

As he spoke, Wang Kun stood up, making a gesture of invitation.

This was obviously a signal for action!

Several brawny men immediately moved threateningly toward Wu Jie.

“You want to start something?

Do you know who I am?

If you have the guts, take one more step forward and see what happens!” Tang Xiao stood up, glaring fiercely.

“Wait!”

All of a sudden, Wang Kun called a halt, cajoling, “Listen, President Tang, there’s no need for you to dirty your hands over such a loser.

Listen to me, let’s go over there, have some coffee, and chat, doesn’t that sound nice?”

“Nice my ass!

He’s a member of my corporation, and I absolutely won’t allow you to touch him!” Tang Xiao yelled forcefully.

Wang Kun sneered, shaking his head, “What should I say to you?

Look at the caliber of person you’re protecting.

We’ve been talking for ages, and he hasn’t dared to fart.

I reckon he’s so scared he’s pissed his pants by now!”

Tang Xiao clenched her teeth tightly, unsure of what game Wu Jie was playing.

In this situation, silence was not solving anything.

But why was he still silent, yet watching Wang Kun and the others with a smile?

What was there to see?

What was there to laugh about?

Even if he was calm in the face of danger, he should be looking for a way to resolve the issue, right?

In the middle of Tang Xiao’s impatience and Wang Kun’s provocation, Wu Jie stood up with a faint smile.

“They think they can make me kowtow with just the six of them?”

Wu Jie scanned them with a cold gaze, “Apart from being big, they aren’t that much stronger than Lin Hu and his three men.

Mr.

Wang, while I’m still in a good mood, you’d better hurry and find someone else!”
