Chapter 120 - 120: Mumu, You Are a Femme Fatale
“You guys think you can just leave? You’ll have to ask if I agree first.” Shen Chi slowly spoke, his tone seething with ferocity.
He walked toward the three, his cold gaze sweeping over them, as if the air itself had instantly frozen.
Anyone who dared to harm a single hair on Xu Chaomu’s head would pay with their lives! And now, they had actually hit her.
Having known Xu Chaomu for eight years, he couldn’t bear to lay a finger on her, yet they had the audacity to do so.
“Do you know who my second uncle is? I could scare you to death if I told you. If you have any sense, you’ll scram, or you’ll be left crying for your mom and dad after we’re done with you!” Yao Yue blustered like a young calf not fearing the tiger, her tone unfriendly.
She was the dominant female at school, even the teachers feared her and wouldn’t dare touch her.
Moreover, her family was prominent in C City, and she knew plenty of thugs from the underworld, so no one dared to mess with her.
Xu Chaomu stepped forward too, fights like this were too unbecoming for a man.
She had to protect her Big Brother’s good image.
So, the fighting, she would take on.
As the saying goes, men and women working together make for an easy job!
“Yao Yue, who was the one crying for their mom and dad last time? Haven’t forgotten already have you? Look, if you know what’s good for you, get down on your knees and apologize to us. We’re generous and will let it slide. But if you don’t get a clue, we’ll beat you to a pulp and hang you on a flagpole!”
Xu Chaomu got brave knowing that Shen Chi was by her side.
But, what if her Big Brother lost…?
The thought was too beautiful; she didn’t dare to continue.
Shen Chi, on the other hand, didn’t waste words with them. He was always quick and decisive in his actions, fast and fierce!
Besides, dealing with these types, he didn’t need to lift a finger himself.
He made a call to Li Beiting: “Come to Xu Chaomu’s school, within five minutes.”
Li Beiting, the bastard, was engrossed in gaming in his office, having a blast. Just as he received Shen Chi’s call and was about to roar “I’m not going”, Shen Chi hung up before he could!
Fuck, treating him like some kind of servant? He, Li Beiting, was a boss for Christ’s sake!
He decided not to go, wanting to see what Shen Chi could possibly do to him.
Thus, muttering “son of a bitch” about Shen Chi, he slammed on the elevator button and descended floor by floor.
He pulled out his Maserati, vroomed, and drove to the school.
Looking at his watch, four minutes and thirty-eight seconds!
Still, Li Beiting pretended to be nonchalant, sauntering over casually.
Meanwhile, under Yao Yue’s instigation, her uncle had also called his underworld contacts.
Soon, just as Li Beiting arrived, a few motorcycles came roaring in. Each rider with a steel helmet and leather gloves, they swaggered around, radiating brute arrogance!
“Brother Yao, ran into some trouble?” the gang of ruffians approached.
“Eh, this brat scratched my car and splashed water all over me and Yueyue. Grab her and give her a beating,” said Yao Yue’s uncle, nonchalantly.
“Easy, easy, that’s a trifle matter,” the men sneered with faux amiability.
Just as Li Beiting arrived, he almost retreated back into his Maserati at the sight.
“Big Bro, are you messing with me?” Li Beiting whispered to Shen Chi.
“I’m leaving this to you, and I expect no mercy, understand?” Shen Chi glared at him coldly.
“Then I’ll need to call a few people. I’m no good at fighting,” Li Beiting said.
“You handle it, just make sure it’s clean.”
Li Beiting quickly called a few of his guys from the precinct, and in no time, they arrived, making the scene even livelier.
Xu Chaomu tiptoed to wrap her arms around Shen Chi’s neck, speaking earnestly, “Big Brother, Yao Yue is still just a kid, so young, you absolutely can’t go easy on her. Even if she gets ten years in jail, she’d only be twenty-eight when she gets out.”
“Mumu, if this were ancient times, you’d be nothing but trouble with your charm.” The whisper was lost in the wind.
Shen Chi let out a laugh, a laugh as warming as a spring breeze, as radiant as the belated sunshine.
It was like the light rain by the riverside in February, a gentle fall, and numerous white pear blossoms were instantly moistened.
“Beauty, I am not, but a source of trouble, that’s true. I am the one who brings disaster upon you, Fourth Brother. Have I brought disaster upon you?” “If I were to be brought to disaster by you, then I wouldn’t be Shen Chi.” “Pff, ” Xu Chaomu pouted. Trying to outwit her Fourth Brother in intelligence and bravery, she nonetheless always ended up defeated under his hand.
“Let’s go, let’s go home. Does your wound hurt?” Shen Chi wrapped an arm around her waist, his brow furrowing.
“No more pain, Fourth Brother, you’re the cure-all remedy for me!” Xu Chaomu rejoiced and had already thrown the earlier quarrel with Shen Chi out of her mind.
The corner of Shen Chi’s mouth lifted slightly, but he said nothing, with not too many expressions on his face.
As they were leaving, Shen Chi left Li Beiting with a faint instruction, his voice deep and forceful, “His car, smash it.”
With a casual gesture towards the BMW, he then left with Xu Chaomu.
“Got it,” Li Beiting glared at him.
He, Shen Chi, really acted with impunity. Of course, in C City, there weren’t many who could make him think twice.
No sooner had Xu Chaomu settled into Shen Chi’s Maybach than his phone rang.
She turned her head and saw the screen of Shen Chi’s phone lying in the car.
Bai Man.
Xu Chaomu thought Shen Chi was quite decent, not having stored Bai Man’s number as “Darling” or “Wife” or something.
Shen Chi answered the call.
It was Bai Man’s agent, Xiaofeng, on the line, sounding very anxious.
“Fourth Master, Miss Bai has been bullied on the set. Please come over quickly! ”
“What’s the situation?” Shen Chi asked coldly.
“It’s hard to explain in a moment; a new girl was too outspoken and said something she shouldn’t have, and then… Fourth Master, you better come here. Miss Bai is crying, and she feels terrible.”
“Mmh.”
“Then I’ll wait for you at the set.”
Shen Chi hung up the phone. Xu Chaomu was close enough to have heard it all.
So, without waiting for Shen Chi to ask her to leave, she jumped out of the car without saying a word.
Just now, when dealing with Yao Yue, she had been bullied yet her heart did not
hurt.
But now, her heart felt as if pricked by a needle, a sourness slowly spreading…
Initially, it was just a little, but then it became overwhelming, her throat felt choked up with the acidity.
As she hopped out of the car, Shen Chi said nothing. He just watched her receding back, his gaze pausing for a moment.
Xu Chaomu was stubborn indeed, walking straight ahead without looking back, her departure resolute.
Only when her figure had disappeared from view did Shen Chi step on the accelerator, turn the car around, and leave the school.
He had postponed a meeting in Washington to specifically come for Xu Chaomu’s parent-teacher conference. He was actually already sitting among the parents, yet Xu Chaomu hadn’t seen him.
He had intended to surprise her, but then that incident happened. He too felt helpless as he drove towards Bai Man’s set.
After crossing several traffic lights and driving for quite a while, he finally arrived at the set where Bai Man and the others were.
The set was noisy and clamorous, with loud arguments and faces flushed with strife, accompanied by the sound of things being smashed.
Shen Chi’s brows furrowed. Was there really someone here bold enough to bully Bai Man?
Who didn’t know that Bai Man was his, Shen Chi’s, fiancée?
