"A Monopoly player has booked the whole place and wants to kick us out," Xu Chen said with a smile to the girls.
"Young man, it's time to show your manly prowess. When that guy comes up later, you must beat him into a pig's head."
"Yes, Xu Chen, we finally managed to get together, we can't let them succeed."
Wang Li nodded at Xu Chen, seemingly agreeing with the two women's views.
"Alright, let's eat first and see who this person is."
As the group was eating, the door was kicked open, and several bodyguard-like men rushed into the private room and stood around it. Then, a brightly dressed young man came in, looked at Xu Chen and his group, and deliberately lingered on Wang Li and the other girls for a moment.
"You're the one who sent my young master here, aren't you? Now that he's here, you can get lost." The bodyguard stepped forward, trying to grab Xu Chen's collar, but Xu Chen dodged him, so he hurled insults at him.
Xu Chen chuckled, "Yes, but I don't plan to get out of here."
The boy ignored Xu Chen and instead said to the girls, "Hello, beautiful ladies."
"Hello." Qin Ziyue smiled sweetly, her gentle and pretty face making the young man's heart flutter.
"I'll pay for this table today, everyone eat and drink to your heart's content," the young man said generously, then ordered his subordinates to send Xu Chen away.
"Are you sure you want to kick me out?" Through Xiaobai's investigation, Xu Chen learned that this was the son of a partner of Liren Pharmaceutical, and his father was also quite powerful. Ordinary people would easily be intimidated by this kid. He looked at the boy with a playful expression and asked seriously.
The young man ignored her, sat down next to Ying'er, picked up a glass of red wine and began toasting. His bodyguards also surrounded Xu Chen. Xu Chen smiled, pulled Wang Li, and tried to leave. Finally, the young man spoke to Xu Chen.
"The girl stays, and you get out of here right now."
Xu Chen took out his phone and started dialing Li Cheng's number.
"Fatty, how many partners do we have in Beijing?"
"Six companies, some of which are contract manufacturers for us, as our own production lines cannot meet the demand."
"Kick Zheng Li out and tell her that if she can't control her son, I'll make her lose everything."
"Brother Xu, did you get into a conflict with Zheng Li's son?"
Wang Bin scoffed. He'd seen plenty of guys who acted like big shots in front of girls—the kind who looked refined but were actually cowards. He continued chatting with Ying'er and Qin Ziyue. Strangely, the two seemed to be having a lively conversation with Wang Bin, which led him to seriously misjudge Xu Chen's abilities, since these women, who were Xu Chen's companions, weren't siding with him.
"Yeah, your sister-in-law and I were having a nice meal when someone came in and demanded we clear the room and told me to get out. Speechless."
"That's amazing! Okay, I'll call right away."
After hanging up, Xu Chen sat down and looked at Wang Bin.
"I'm thinking about what to do with you."
"Kid, if you don't have the ability to show off, you'll only humiliate yourself."
"Oh, you're quite cultured." Xu Chen chuckled, lit a cigarette, and puffed away. Wang Li sat leisurely on Xu Chen's lap, playing on her phone. Wang Bin was furious at the sight, and just as he was about to order his bodyguards to remove Xu Chen, a phone call came through on his phone.
"You little rascal, have you gotten into trouble again?"
"Mom, what's wrong?" Wang Bin asked in surprise.
"The general manager of Liren Pharmaceuticals called personally to refuse cooperation, saying it was because you messed with someone you shouldn't have. Tell me, what happened?"
"Mom, it's not what they think, it's a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? Are you with that person right now? Give him the phone."
Wang Bin obediently handed the phone to Xu Chen, but Xu Chen didn't take it. He turned on speakerphone, and Zheng Li's voice came through at the right time.
"Hello, I am Zheng Li."
"My name is Xu Chen."
"Xu Chen? Aren't you the reclusive chairman of Liren Pharmaceuticals?"
"Mr. Zheng has a good memory, it's a pity your son is an idiot."
"Chairman Xu, let's just consider this a misunderstanding, okay? I will have my son compensate you."
"What is it, Mr. Zheng? Do you have clairvoyance? Can you see how your son offended me?"
"Mr. Xu, you're joking. I don't have any clairvoyance. You and my son are both young people, and it's normal for young people to have conflicts." Zheng Li listened to Xu Chen's voice and felt that he wasn't very old.
"First, you didn't say sorry, and second, you acted like an elder. Very good, Zheng Li. I guess the reason you are so confident is because of your husband's power. Do you think I'm right?"
"Chairman Xu, it's not formal over the phone. I'm currently tied up with trivial matters, so I'll apologize to you another day when I have the chance. Could you please tell General Manager Li that we should leave this matter here?"
"Very good, Zheng Li, that's a brilliant way to change the subject. You just wait." Xu Chen snatched the phone and hung up.
Seeing this, Qin Ziyue quickly said to Wang Bin, "You'd better leave quickly, or he'll kill you."
"Yes, yes, you should hurry up and go," Ying'er kindly advised.
Wang Bin crossed his legs and said to the two women, "No, no, no, I'll wait here and see what power our Chairman Xu has." In his mind, Liren Pharmaceuticals was not enough to rival his father's power.
Before Wang Bin could finish speaking, his bodyguard dragged him out of the private room. Under Xu Chen's control, his bodyguard pulled Wang Bin through the back door into a taxi and headed towards Zheng Li's home.
"Chenchen, why did his bodyguard take him away?" Wang Li asked in confusion.
"It's a minor spell. If you want to learn it, I can teach you, Lily."
Seeing the farce was over, the group lost interest in staying and left. Xu Chen and Wang Li took a walk home. Not long after, a murder occurred in XX district. Wang Bin's bodyguard beat him to death. When Zheng Li arrived at her apartment building, she could only see her son's body. Xu Chen, as a suspect in the phone call with Zheng Li, was also summoned to the police station.
After comparing the surveillance video with Xu Chen's confession, Xu Chen ignored Zheng Li's anger and walked away.
"Officer, he's the murderer who killed my son. Why did you let him go?"
"Nonsense! Your son was clearly beaten to death by the bodyguards. If you have nothing else to do, please leave and don't interfere with our work!"
In her emotional state, Zheng Li began to spout nonsense, "It must have been him who instigated the bodyguards to beat people up. Officers, you should investigate this carefully."
"Even if he instigated it, where are the bodyguards? Tell me, how do you get a few dead men to testify for you?"
Zheng Li started throwing a tantrum, yelling and screaming, causing chaos at the police station. They had no choice but to escort her outside.
"My husband is a leader! My husband is a leader! I'll make him fire you corrupt police officers who took bribes!" Zheng Li cursed outside the door for a long time before finally leaving helplessly.
As luck would have it, this whole process happened to be captured in a video taken by a member of the Haitian Gang.
