Chapter 153

　This is an incredibly sexy photo, but I feel no desire whatsoever. Instead, I’m filled with intense wariness. Chen Hui already knows about our relationship, and if I do anything else, she might get even angrier.

　　Su Yue’e quickly took the picture back. I subconsciously looked up and saw her turn her head over as well.

　　Seeing that Chen Hui wasn’t paying attention, she even secretly stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips at me.

　　If I had to describe it as an animal, it would definitely be the most terrifying kind of beautiful snake, which might bite me at any moment.

　　I quickly pulled myself together and started working, but my mind was filled with what Chen Hui had told me: once we got to Shanhai, I would resign and leave Chen Yao.

　　Soon, the busy day passed in the blink of an eye, and it was afternoon again.

　　Because we were having a dinner party tonight, the administration team made the arrangements very early. When it was time to leave work, we all took our cars to the place where we were going to eat.

　　Because there were so many people, some colleagues found their own way to get there by public transport, while others drove there.

　　The number of colleagues here is about the same as the number of colleagues back home, so the small restaurant naturally couldn’t accommodate them all. Therefore, we went to a hot pot restaurant here that is said to be quite famous.

　　Once we arrived at the destination, our management team sat at one table, while the other colleagues sat together. This seems to be an age-old principle, no matter where we are.

　　It might be due to the superior-subordinate relationship.

　　After the food and drinks were served, we didn’t exchange many pleasantries and started eating right away. Then we took turns toasting our colleagues. Although it didn’t seem to make any difference, you can’t really explain people’s psychology sometimes. Maybe they felt that doing so would bring them closer together.

　　I was halfway through my meal when Chen Hui, who was sitting next to me, suddenly nudged my thigh. I was taken aback. What was she planning to do now?

　　I glanced at her subconsciously, but unexpectedly she suddenly whispered in my ear, “Look at your phone.”

　　Looking at a mobile phone

　　What phone to look at?

　　I was even more puzzled, but I still took out my phone to check and found that it was a message she had sent at some point: “Try to hook up with Su Yue’e again tonight and see if you can find out who her backer is in the company.”

　　Try to get back together with Su Yue’e

　　I was even more confused about Chen Hui’s intentions. She had berated me mercilessly before, but now she was telling me to seduce Su Yue’e. Wasn’t that a contradiction?

　　After hesitating for a long time, I couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Manager Chen, are you telling the truth?”

　　”Otherwise what?” Chen Hui snorted, glancing at Su Yue’e who was chatting across from her. “If you want to uproot her, you have to do it by the roots. You can’t just treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Consider this a task I’m giving you. No matter what method you use, whether it’s seduction or something else, you have to find a way to dig out the backer behind her. I want to see who has the audacity to do such a thing.”

　　”I…” I hesitated.

　　”Stop being so wishy-washy. Remember, this is your chance to redeem yourself. If you handle this matter well, I might consider your relationship with Yao Yao. Otherwise, get out of here!”

　　Chen Hui snorted coldly, “You only have these two choices!”

　　It seems I have no choice but to do it.

　　Halfway through the meal, I suddenly received a call from my cousin. I had no idea why she was calling me at this time.

　　I told Chen Hui and was about to go outside to answer the phone when I was confronted by a man with triangular eyes, followed by several others. He glanced at me a few times, then said with a forced smile, “I heard it was you, you little punk, who took care of my men.”

　　”Who are you?” I narrowed my eyes slightly.

　　“I don’t care who you’re working for, you little punk, but you hit one of my men, so you’re going against me, Wang Dahai.”

　　“My rule is that if you hit him with your hand, I’ll break that hand and also break a leg.”

　　His triangular eyes glared at me menacingly. He threw the cigarette butt aside and looked down at me condescendingly.

　　I was eager to answer my cousin’s call, so I immediately said, “I’m sorry, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Could you please move aside?”

　　”I’ll paralyze you.” Wang Dahai rolled up his sleeves, revealing his ferocious, dragon-like muscles, and stood brazenly in front of me, grabbing my collar with one hand.

　　He snorted coldly and said, “You son of a bitch, you’re pretending you don’t know the guy who slept with me at the bar last night, huh? Come on, guys, let’s give this little punk a piece of our minds.”

　　The group of people behind me immediately surrounded me. Hearing the threat in the man’s words, I raised an eyebrow and said coldly, “Let go!”

　　”Heh, kid’s pretty arrogant.” Wang Dahai frowned, his anger flaring up instantly, and he roared, “I’ll give you a good beating!”

　　As he spoke, the two men beside him exchanged a glance, rubbed their hands together, and pounced on me.

　　I watched coldly as the two rushed in. I had no choice but to let my cousin’s phone ring first, put the phone in my pocket, and then suddenly struck. My movements were as fast as lightning. Before the two could get close, I kicked one of them to the ground. Then, I aimed at the other’s weakness, closed in, and seemingly casually threw a punch, but it actually grabbed the man’s wrist.

　　Immediately afterwards, he secretly exerted force with both feet and jumped backward. With his right hand, he gently pulled the man’s arm backward, and with a “crack” sound, the man’s joint was dislocated instantly!

　　”ah!”

　　The excruciating pain from the dislocated arm caused the man to let out a pig-like scream. His face turned ashen, and the tearing pain radiated from his arm to the nerves in his brain. His forehead was instantly covered with large beads of sweat.

　　”Let…let…let me go, ah…it hurts…” The nerves in his face twitched and twisted in pain, and tears welled up in his eyes.

　　I narrowed my eyes and suddenly kicked the man in the waist. The man responded with a thud and instantly seemed to float on clouds.

　　He flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.

　　”Bang!”

　　Wang Dahai, standing to the side, was so frightened that his legs trembled slightly, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and his eyelids twitched violently. He couldn’t help but gasp, “This…”

　　Perhaps my movements were too ruthless and too fast; Wang Dahai didn’t even see how I made my move, yet his men were still killed.

　　His triangular eyes twitched violently. “Kid, you dare hit my men? Don’t you even know who I am? All of you, get him!”

　　The remaining people looked at the two lying on the ground, seemingly lifeless, then glanced at me, and began to scream and yell.

　　”You damn little bastard.”

　　”Go, kill this bastard!”

　　”Damn it.”

　　I didn’t waste time asking, since I already knew it was because of what happened last night.

　　When these people attacked without a stool, I bent down and swept my leg across them. With a muffled thud, one of them fell to the ground.

　　Before my moves had even aged, I charged into the crowd again, swinging my fists like a wolf among sheep. Every punch landed squarely, every kick found its mark. In an instant, the sounds of bones breaking and screams of agony rose and fell.

　　Their movements were swift and agile, like a ferocious beast hunting its prey. Every punch and kick they threw resulted in injury, but it was enough to give these people a hard time.

　　Before long, Wang Dahai’s men were lying on the ground, gasping for breath and groaning in pain.

　　”hiss……”

　　”Fuck… fucking…”

　　”Damn it, my hand might be broken…”

　　Wang Dahai’s eyes widened, he swallowed subconsciously, glanced at me, and took a small step back.

　　Without even glancing at the people groaning on the ground, I walked step by step towards Wang Dahai, then stood condescendingly in front of him and said, “Speak, who sent you to cause me trouble?”

　　”Kid, I’m not easily intimidated. You just wait and see.” Wang Dahai’s expression suddenly changed, cold sweat poured down his face, and after uttering this harsh threat, he rushed towards the door.

　　”Trying to run?” I narrowed my eyes and delivered a flying kick to Wang Dahai’s back.

　　”Bang!”

　　Before Wang Dahai could react, he was instantly thrown face-first to the ground a considerable distance away.

　　I reached out and grabbed his neck, staring straight into his eyes, and said coldly, “I’ll ask you one last time, who sent you to cause me trouble?”

　　Wang Dahai trembled with fear and stammered, “I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

　　”explain!”

　　With a sudden, forceful movement of my right hand, Wang Dahai instantly felt as if he were suffocating, his limbs thrashing about, his triangular eyes bulging out.

　　”Tang Zheng, what… what are you doing?”

　　Just then, I heard Chen Hui’s trembling scream from behind me.

　　Wang Dahai suddenly broke free from my grasp and ran across the street like the wind, his men following him in a hurry.

　　I took a deep breath; it seemed this matter couldn’t be resolved anytime soon.

　　”Manager Chen, what brings you here?” I tried to put aside my worries and turned to ask Chen Hui with a smile.

　　”What are those people doing?” Chen Hui asked, her voice trembling with fear. “Why are you fighting?”

　　I chuckled and said, “I don’t know what happened either. These people came up to me without asking any questions and started beating me up. I had no choice but to fight back. I wanted to ask them what happened, but they just ran away.”

　　”Then…” Chen Hui hesitated for a moment, “Are you alright?”

　　I shrugged. “It’s nothing.”

　　”That’s good. No matter what method you use, even if it’s the one I told you, you must tell me the information I want, or you’ll know the consequences.”

　　Chen Hui glared at me, stomped her foot, and turned to leave.

　　It seems Chen Hui is determined to gain Su Yue’e’s backing. This is something only I can handle, but I don’t seem to have any other options. I can’t exactly sleep with her for another night.

　　But besides this method, I really can’t think of any other useful methods.

　　Forget it, let’s talk about this later. I took out my phone, called my cousin first, and then took out a cigarette and lit it.

　　The phone rang for a while before I heard my cousin’s familiar voice: “Dummy, what are you busy with? I called you twice and you didn’t answer.”

　　”I was taking a shower just now,” I said with a smile. “Sis, aren’t you working tonight?”

　　”What do you mean nighttime? It’s daytime now, and we’re getting ready to go to work.” My cousin said with a smile, “Yaoyao’s foot has almost recovered, so you don’t need to worry too much.”

　　”Didn’t she get injured yesterday? Why is she back at work so soon?” I was a little anxious. “Is she really alright?”

　　”It’s okay, it won’t be so bad after applying ice.” My cousin said with a smile, “Don’t you trust your sister? By the way, when you come back, let’s go out and look for a place to live.”

　　”Okay,” I readily agreed, but I was also a little puzzled. “Sis, why did you suddenly want to find a place to live?”

　　”Well…” my cousin hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s mainly because I’m worried it won’t be convenient for Yao Yao to want to play with us…”

　　”Really?” I laughed. “Sis, do you know that your ears turn red when you lie?”

　　”real”

　　My cousin froze for a moment, then suddenly screamed, “I didn’t…”

　　“Really,” I said with a smile.

　　My cousin stammered, “Actually, it’s not that, it’s just… Wang Qin is doing something next door… I feel like it’s a bit inconvenient for me to live here…”
