When Ling Shen entered the private room of the club, the man named Xu Wei was already waiting inside.
It was clear they had been waiting for a long time and were getting a little impatient, but when they saw Ling Shen, they still greeted him with smiles.
"Mr. Ling, you've finally arrived."
Xu Wei was from the north. He was tall and burly, with a fierce look. He was followed by several bodyguards in black, making him look very imposing. However, he still had to speak to Ling Shen in a humble tone.
Ling Shen ignored the fact that he came up to greet him.
Ling Shen remained expressionless, walked past him, and sat down in the main seat, behaving like the host.
After Ling Shen sat down, he raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Give me an explanation."
Xu Wei received news today that Ling Shen had asked him to meet here. He had a rough idea of why, but he didn't expect Ling Shen to get straight to the point right away.
Xu Wei paused for a moment, then turned to look at Ling Shen and gave an awkward smile.
"I'm not quite sure what you mean, Mr. Ling?"
This time, Ling Shen didn't speak, but Lu Jiayan, who was standing next to Xu Wei, sneered and said.
"Are you still pretending to be confused?"
Xu Wei felt a chill run down his spine, but he still pretended to be calm and turned to look at Lu Jiayan.
"Brother Lu, what do you mean by that?"
Xu Wei is the person in charge of a real estate project at Ling Shen's subsidiary. Because he has connections at higher levels, he is usually very arrogant. This time, after the project funds were distributed, he embezzled them and used some inferior materials to fill in the gaps.
After his behavior was discovered, a manager at the construction site was about to report it, but the other people found out instead.
The manager was kidnapped, beaten to death, and buried under the cement at the construction site.
Those officials protected each other and planned to cover it up.
But Ling Shen still managed to find out.
Ling Shen never fights a battle unprepared, so this time, he found all the information before contacting Xu Wei.
The person above Xu Wei has some connection with Ling Shen's family. In the past, when he embezzled some funds, Ling Shen turned a blind eye, as long as it did not affect the quality of the building, he pretended not to see it.
But this time, Xu Wei had a death wish; he not only embezzled project funds but also caused a fatality.
Ling Shen would never sit idly by and do nothing.
Lu Jiayan walked to Ling Shen's side, took out the prepared evidence, and handed it to Ling Shen.
Ling Shen took the folder, his expression remaining calm and composed.
Ling Shen raised an eyebrow slightly, looked at Xu Wei in front of him, and said, "Are you short of money?"
The mere mention of Ling Shen's three words sent a chill down Xu Wei's spine.
Even if Xu Wei was slow to react, he could still sense the powerful aura emanating from Ling Shen.
He sensed a subtle change in the atmosphere of the room, or perhaps it was intuition, but a strong thought arose in his mind—he might not be able to get through this today.
The lights in the private room weren't very bright.
Xu Wei looked at Ling Shen, his eyes were dark and sharp, with a hint of ferocity hidden in them, and he looked down at him.
On the table was the fruit knife he had used to peel the apple. At that moment, Ling Shen picked up the fruit knife.
He held the sharp, gleaming knife in his hand; it was fair, sharp, and looked both beautiful and dangerous.
Just as sharp as the blade was his gaze, dark and piercing, as if it were covered in frost.
"I remember I offered you a pretty high salary?" he asked slowly.
At this point, Xu Wei knew he could no longer keep it a secret.
Xu Wei's legs went weak, and he knelt down in the middle of the private room.
He looked at Ling Shen and said, "Young Master Ling, I know I was wrong. I was blinded by greed. It was my fault. Please forgive me this time."
He knelt down with a thud, seemingly sincere, but in Ling Shen's eyes, this was nothing more than an attempt to make amends for his previous mistakes with minimal cost.
Ling Shen snorted coldly and said, "Does admitting your mistake bring the dead back to life?"
Xu Wei was taken aback.
He looked at Ling Shen cautiously, sensing that Ling Shen wouldn't let him off easily.
If Ling Shen were to expose this, he would probably never be able to recover his career.
Rumors circulate that Ling Shen is ruthless, but no matter how ruthless he is, he is only a twenty-year-old boy.
Xu Wei had been a seasoned figure in the martial world for over a decade; he'd never bow his head to such a brat...
Ling Shen casually tossed the knife in his hand onto the coffee table, making a crisp click.
Ling Shen said, "Tell me, what's the best way to resolve this?"
......
On the other side, Chitose pushed the waiter away, not so that he would go find help.
After all, even if Chisui had another bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), she could still take down these people.
One by one, those people rushed up, while Qian Sui stood at a distance. Although she was drunk, years of practice had given her muscle memory. She squinted her eyes, and just by listening to the sounds, she was enough to defeat those people.
One, two, three... one thousand-year-old can beat one, two thousand-year-old can beat two.
The first few were either hit on pressure points by Qian Sui or had their joints pinched by Qian Sui, resulting in dislocations and immobility.
But when the others rushed up, Chitose had nowhere to stand, so she took a few steps to the side.
This retreat caused problems.
Qian Sui was wearing the high heels Zhang Shaochuan bought for her today. This was the first time Qian Sui had worn such high heels. She stepped back and twisted her ankle.
Chisui wasn't injured, but her body fell backward.
