Chapter 71: What Can You Do to Me?
“The only one who can stop me under heaven is probably you, Uncle-in-law. Why don’t you come and take a look?” Xia Chenge provocatively said to Xu Jingyi with a calm demeanor.
Xu Jingyi was startled by the sound. After regaining his composure, he forced his voice to sound calm, “Did Bei Xiang Pavilion do something to make you feel wronged? Tell me, and I’ll help you get justice.”
“I don’t like the Bei Xiang Pavilion brand. Are you satisfied with that explanation?” Xia Chenge said arrogantly. “If I don’t like it, I’ll smash it. Sheng Xia Group doesn’t lack this catering company anyway. Do I not even have this power?”
Xu Jingyi used all his strength to suppress the surging anger: “Xiao Ge, it’s better to make decisions about company matters after a meeting. Don’t be willful; it will affect you taking over Sheng Xia in the future!”
“It doesn’t matter. The shareholders won’t care about a small restaurant that’s just under Sheng Xia’s name!” Xia Chenge said indifferently.
Xu Jingyi was shocked. The thought sent a chill down his spine: Bei Xiang Pavilion was only nominally affiliated with Sheng Xia Group, and this matter was handled so secretly. How did Xia Chenge know Bei Xiang Pavilion was his? Besides this, how many other secrets did she know about him?
“Details determine success or failure. Don’t disregard small matters; sometimes they can become a fatal blow.” Xu Jingyi forced himself to calm down again. “How about this, you go home first, and I’ll handle this matter?”
“Small matters can also become a fatal blow…” Xia Chenge smiled. “Are you talking about yourself? My Uncle-in-law! Alright, I’ve told you what you needed to know. That’s all. I’m smashing Bei Xiang Pavilion today! If Uncle-in-law is worried, you should hurry over and see!”
With that, Xia Chenge hung up the phone before Xu Jingyi could speak. She tossed her mobile phone to the manager, casting a cold glance at him with a mocking smile.
The manager trembled under Xia Chenge’s gaze. He fumbled and dropped the mobile phone, which then fell to the ground with a clatter. He then scrambled to pick it up.
At this moment, the police car finally arrived. Bei Xiang Pavilion had already been smashed to pieces, resembling ruins.
The police officers got out of the car and immediately drew their guns, shouting, “Stop everything! Police!”
The people Xia Chenge brought with her immediately stopped their actions, dropped their tools, and raised their hands.
The manager finally felt a sense of relief and complained with a dejected expression, “Comrades police, you’ve arrived just in time. These people suddenly came to cause trouble and smashed our shop like this. You must uphold justice for us!”
“Everyone get down and come with us!” the leading police officer said sternly.
“Wait!” Xia Chenge calmly stopped the police. “Officer, is it wrong for me to smash my own things?”
“Police, don’t listen to her nonsense!” The manager couldn’t swallow the humiliation of being threatened by Xia Chenge in public. “She has mental problems, and these people were forced by her to smash the shop!”
Xia Chenge looked at him meaningfully. He immediately lowered his head, feeling guilty.
“What’s your name?” the police officer asked Xia Chenge sternly.
“Xia Chenge,” Xia Chenge replied unhurriedly, cooperating.
The police officer frowned slightly. “Xia Chenge of the Xia family?”
“It’s her! She has mental problems!” the manager interjected quickly.
“I didn’t ask you. Don’t interrupt.” The police officer glared at him, then looked at Xia Chenge inquiringly.
“Officer, do I look like I have a mental illness?” Xia Chenge smiled. “My grandfather is the Chairman of Sheng Xia Group, and Bei Xiang Pavilion is a restaurant under Sheng Xia. I want to renovate this place. Is there anything wrong with that?”
“Even if you want to renovate, it still needs to be discussed and decided by the group’s management. What right do you have to act on your own?” the manager said angrily.
The smile in Xia Chenge’s eyes vanished, revealing her sharp edge. “What right? Just because my surname is Xia, and just because Bei Xiang Pavilion is a restaurant under Sheng Xia, I have the ability to decide Bei Xiang Pavilion’s future. I can even decide your future!”
Let alone the manager, even the police officers were stunned by Xia Chenge’s sudden aura, their hearts filled with awe.
“This is my business. You receive a salary from Sheng Xia Group, so what right do you have to stop me?” Xia Chenge stared at him sharply, then took out a USB drive. “Also, I want to report a crime. This person has embezzled public funds. This is the evidence!”
Upon hearing this, the manager’s face instantly changed, his eyes bulging: “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Don’t panic. I have plenty of evidence to prove what you’ve done!” Xia Chenge sneered.
The police officer took the USB drive, his expression complicated. “Let’s take them away first!”
The situation took a sharp turn. The manager’s face turned ashen, and he desperately explained, “Comrades police, don’t be fooled by Xia Chenge. She’s falsely accusing me because I stopped her from smashing the Bei Xiang Pavilion brand. She’s holding a grudge and slandering me!”
“Whatever the matter, it will be clarified once we go through the procedures at the station. If you are innocent, no one will make things difficult for you. Please cooperate with our work,” the police officer said.
“I haven’t embezzled anything, so why should I go?” the manager resisted.
Xia Chenge said, “If you haven’t done such a thing, why are you so guilty and afraid to go? Are you afraid you won’t be able to get out if you go in?”
The manager hated Xia Chenge to the bone. He thought Xia Chenge was just there to smash Xu Jingyi’s territory, never expecting this to be Xia Chenge’s counter-move!
“Take them all away!” the police officer waved his hand.
The manager stared at Xia Chenge, his gaze venomously terrifying.
Xia Chenge paid him no mind, leisurely following them to the police station as if it were just a stroll after a meal!
The manager thought about sending a message to Xu Jingyi to inform him of his situation. However, when he took out his mobile phone, he found that it wouldn’t turn on!
The manager was frantic, sweating profusely, and desperately pressing the buttons. The phone screen remained black, showing no response.
Xia Chenge saw his actions, a cold smile flashing across her eyes. When she threw the mobile phone earlier, she had already tampered with it, breaking it. How could the manager use it?
Since she was going to confront Xu Jingyi, she naturally had to catch him off guard!
The game has begun, so they have to play by her rules. Xu Jingyi wanted to force her to follow his script? That was a pipe dream, absolutely impossible!
If he wanted to make things difficult for her at Sheng Xia Group? Then let’s see who makes whom vomit blood…
After all, the last person who wanted to play a game of survival with her had already met their game over long ago. After this body mutated and evolved, Xu Jingyi was nothing.
“You deliberately broke my phone, didn’t you?” he asked Xia Chenge fiercely after fiddling with it for a long time without success.
Xia Chenge spread her hands, looking innocent. “I only tossed it to you gently. You didn’t catch it yourself, and now you’re blaming me?”
“Don’t talk!” the police officer coldly interrupted them.
Xia Chenge raised her eyebrows: What can you do to me?
The manager was so enraged that he almost vomited blood, clenching his fists through gritted teeth.
Xia Chenge mouthed silently: Today, I deliberately designed this for you!
