Ning Shu called Chu Xiaoran and told him to come get his guy, otherwise she’d send him directly to the police.

  Ning Shu didn’t want to call the police because veteran soldiers like this usually had people who would protect them. The military was a family after all, so Ning Shu would rather just give Chu Xiaoran a warning.

  Chu Xiaoran came personally. He had even brought some bodyguards.

  Chu Xiaoran looked at the unconscious man on the ground, then looked at Ning Shu with a smile. “I really did underestimate you.”


  “Chu Xiaoran, look after your dog properly. If there’s a next time, this won’t take place here but in jail,” said Ning Shu mildly.

  Chu Xiaoran waved towards his bodyguards and the bodyguards quickly moved up to carry the unconscious man away.

  Chu Xiaoran looked towards Ning Shu and said, “Xu Wenlang, I’m really starting to admire you more and more. If it weren’t for Xia Xiaoman, I really wish you would work for me.”


  “You know that’s not possible.” How brainless must she be to choose to work with Chu Xiaoran?

  Her goal was to get revenge. To make Chu Xiaoran who snatched whatever he wanted struggle in despair.

  “You’re someone with strong endurance. You were even able to endure what happened with Xia Xiaoman. After disappearing for a while, you actually managed to gain connections with the people higher up.” Chu Xiaoran narrowed his eyes, concealing the intense murderous intent in his eyes.

  Ning Shu smiled. The reason she had managed to gain those connections was because she had useable value. Everything she did just happened to scratch their itch.

  Meanwhile, Chu Xiaoran’s existence was like a fish bone stuck in their throat.

  She was simply borrowing the momentum.

  Chu Xiaoran glanced at Ning Shu contemptfully, then left.

  Chu Xiaoran was too arrogant. If the heavens wanted to exterminate the humans, they must first drive the humans mad.

  Meanwhile, the tree Ning Shu was leaning against had refreshingly cool shade.

  Something rather funny that happened was that the incident about Chu Xiaoran’s company committing tax evasion was broadcasted without restraint by the media. It caused the value of Chu Xiaoran’s company’s stocks to drop quite a lot.

  The morning and evening news broadcasted this, and the economics newspapers also highlighted this incident. Chu Xiaoran immediately sealed off the news and the media stopped broadcasting this incident.

  Chu Xiaoran’s power in T City really couldn’t be underestimated.

  However, the higher one climbed, the more painful the fall.

  During this time, Xia Xiaoman came to find Ning Shu again. However, this time she wasn’t here to talk about breaking up with Chu Xiaoran but here to try and mediate things between Chu Xiaoran and Ning Shu.

  “Big Brother Wenlang, just let this incident go, alright? Fighting against Chu Xiaoran like this doesn’t bring you any benefits. Chu Xiaoran’s very ruthless and he’s also really powerful. Big Brother Wenlang, if you oppose him like this, it’ll affect your business and your future,” said Xia Xiaoman, trying to dissuade her. Her face was filled with worry for Ning Shu.

  Ning Shu: ……

  Ning Shu really didn’t know what to say. On what basis was Xia Xiaoman coming here to ask this? Although Xia Xiaoman was talking about things from her standpoint, it was obvious that she was leaning towards Chu Xiaoran’s side.

  It was ridiculous. Just a while ago, she was crying about wanting to break up, but now she was speaking up for Chu Xiaoran again.

  This was why Xia Xiaoman’s words couldn’t be trusted. If someone actually took her words seriously, then it was the start of a tragedy.
