Chapter 69: Majestic and Imposing
“Is that brat Xia Chenge gone?” Xu Jingyi, who was waiting for Xia Chenge at Sheng Xia, jumped up from his seat upon hearing the news. “Didn’t she already reach the downstairs?”
“Are you questioning me?” Huang Xing’s tone deepened.
Xu Jingyi quickly denied it. “I didn’t mean that, President Huang, please don’t misunderstand. I’m just surprised that brat didn’t come up?”
“She said she’s still young and temporarily not capable of shouldering the important responsibilities of Sheng Xia, and hopes to discuss it again in a year. President Xu, why do I feel that little brat isn’t as mysterious as you say!”
“You’ve probably heard about the many things that have happened in the Xia family recently, President Huang. I can only say that all these events were orchestrated by Xia Chenge herself! She also has Ling Hanmu behind her. The Ling family hasn’t expressed their stance yet, so none of us can be sure how things will ultimately turn out.”
“That’s true. However, it’s a good thing that little brat Xia Chenge isn’t joining Sheng Xia. A year is enough time to arrange everything. But President Xu, let’s be clear from the start: I’m a businessman, I only care about profit. If you do anything that harms my interests, don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”
“Don’t worry, President Huang, that won’t happen.”
“It better not!”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jingyi’s complexion was very grim.
That cunning brat Xia Chenge, causing such a huge commotion, all just to get into Sheng Xia, and then she actually pulled back at the last moment!
What exactly does she want to do? Xu Jingyi slammed his fist on the desk.
Things being out of his control made Xu Jingyi’s mood even worse, especially when he thought about the trouble Xia Minglan had caused, making him wish he could kick Xia Minglan away.
Truly a useless waste who can’t achieve anything and only causes trouble! If it weren’t for the Xia family’s industry back then, he would never have stooped to choosing a stupid woman like Xia Minglan!
——
Meanwhile, after leaving Sheng Xia Group, Xia Chenge went to the Braised Pig Trotters restaurant that Ling Hanmu had taken her to last time.
Before she even reached the alley entrance, she heard sounds of smashing and crashing from inside.
Xia Chenge walked over quickly and saw a group of people smashing the Braised Pig Trotters. The boss and his wife were pleading desperately, but they were met with ruthless kicks and blows. The boss, in particular, had a face that was bruised and swollen like a pig’s head.
Anger surged within Xia Chenge, and she immediately rushed over, shouting with imposing authority, “All of you, stop!”
Everyone stopped their actions, startled by the shout, and looked at Xia Chenge.
“What did they do wrong? Why are you smashing their shop?” Xia Chenge asked calmly.
“Yo, who’s this little girl meddling in other people’s business? Big brother advises you to leave quickly, or don’t blame us for being rude!”
“Don’t try to be a hero at such a young age. Society isn’t a place for high school students like you.”
“This little girl is quite pretty. Do you have a boyfriend?”
……
Seeing Xia Chenge’s frail appearance, the group of people eyed her with ill intentions.
Xia Chenge said nothing and walked straight towards one of them, suddenly executing a fierce overhead throw. A pig-like scream echoed.
Xia Chenge glanced at them with a calm expression. “Who else wants to ask this question!”
“Damn it, what’s it to you? Afraid you…” Another man, closest to Xia Chenge, snapped out of his daze and lunged forward ferociously, trying to subdue Xia Chenge.
Xia Chenge expressionlessly dodged to the side and delivered a stylish kick, sending the man to his knees in front of the boss.
“I didn’t say you couldn’t ask. Continue!” Xia Chenge said nonchalantly.
Everyone watched her in fear, completely unable to believe that such a young girl could so easily injure two adult men!
“Who else wants to ask?” Xia Chenge looked at the others again.
Those people, holding iron rods and hammers, retreated warily, their arrogant demeanor from before completely gone.
“Why are you all backing away? Is someone behind me?” Xia Chenge said coldly.
“Attack! I don’t believe this brat can fly!” The leader gritted his teeth, roared, and charged forward first.
This was their territory. If they were scared off by a little girl, how could they show their faces again?
Hearing this, the crowd swarmed forward.
“Stop fighting, stop fighting! We’ll move, we’ll move right away! This has nothing to do with the young lady, please don’t hurt her!” The boss’s wife, seeing this, rushed forward desperately to protect Xia Chenge.
Xia Chenge was stunned. Even though she could handle these clowns, the boss’s wife’s desperate attempt to protect her moved her.
“Boss’s wife, please stand aside. These people can’t hurt me.” She pushed the boss’s wife aside and casually grabbed a broom, charging forward.
The boss’s wife’s eyes widened, and she yelled at the boss in horror, “Hurry up and save her! Don’t let her get hurt!”
As the boss was about to step forward, he was stunned by the scene before him: Xia Chenge, armed with only a broom, was like a majestic general wielding a long spear, sweeping through an army of thousands!
Those people were screaming and wailing under Xia Chenge’s blows, clutching their arms and legs, scurrying around the small alley trying to escape Xia Chenge’s beating.
But the broom in Xia Chenge’s hands seemed to have eyes, striking wherever it pointed, and not a single person could escape.
In less than ten minutes, these people were all sitting on the ground, groaning and begging for mercy.
Xia Chenge dropped the broom and looked down at them. “Do you have any more questions?”
“Grandma, no more, no more!” They shook their heads frantically, their faces bruised and swollen, their eyes filled with terror.
“Little girl, are you alright?” The boss’s wife rushed forward, asking with concern.
Xia Chenge: “I’m fine.”
“Who sent you to smash this shop?” Xia Chenge didn’t want to explain too much to the boss’s wife and coldly looked at the group of people again.
The leader hesitated, not daring to speak. “No, no, we just wanted to collect some protection fees.”
“What, do you want to be beaten again?” Xia Chenge narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint flashing within them.
The man was terrified. “No, no, Grandma, please spare us! We promise we won’t bother them again, okay?”
“Do you have the qualification to negotiate now?” Xia Chenge stared him down, her gaze sharp enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
“No need to ask, it’s people hired by Xu Jingyi,” the boss sighed deeply.
“Is that true?” Xia Chenge asked sternly.
“I, I don’t know, but, but the person who hired us was, was from Sheng Xia Group,” the leader lowered his head, not daring to meet Xia Chenge’s eyes.
Xia Chenge questioned, “Why?”
“They told, told us, to, to drive, drive Gao Yuandong, out of Hai, Haicheng!”
“And then?”
“And then?” The man was dumbfounded. “I, I don’t know!”
“How much were you paid?”
“80,000!”
“I’ll give you 160,000 to smash Bei Xiang Pavilion, and I’ll take responsibility for any trouble.”
“You, who are you?”
“Xia Chenge!”
