238 Unfamiliar

Meng Yu did not think he was lying. After all, he was unfamiliar with Guan Lei, and their relationship was not the best.

Xia Chun was stunned. If it was not Guan Lei, who else could it be? She had asked around to learn more about what had occurred that day. It was said that the eight men were taken away by someone. At that time, she thought it was a middleman who saved them.

It was the only logical conclusion in her mind since she had not been able to contact the middleman since. Now, she was put in a dilemma. Had those eight men somehow managed to injure Young Master Guan as he was pa.s.sing by? That was what Meng Yu was saying, at the very least.

“President Meng, I didn’t know those ruffians had managed to injure other people,” Xia Chun explained, a note of panic creeping into her voice, “I’ll contact them immediately and demand an apology from them.”

Xia Chun’s mobile phone was already in her hands as she spoke. She entered the web address she had used to contact the black market middleman and waited for the page to load.

Meng Yu chuckled. “There’s no need for you to do that. Those people have already been punished. You’re the only one left.”

Xia Chun was so shocked that she did not even notice her phone slip out of her hand. In horror, she began, “So, I couldn’t contact the middleman because…”

Before Xia Chun could finish her sentence, Meng Yu nodded in affirmation.

“It was not anything much; it was still within my capabilities,” Meng Yu said without the slightest bit of modesty.

Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, Meng Yu pointed at Jiang Lun, who appeared deep in thought, perhaps going over what he could do to salvage the situation. “That’s right. President Jiang, I recall you saying you could deliver on Madam Jiang’s behalf. I doubt you’d be able to escape unscathed, President Jiang.”

“I think that’s for the best,” Meng Yu said. “Meting out punishment and demanding justice from a woman doesn’t suit my tastes. After all, with my status, even if Madam Jiang died a hundred times, she wouldn’t be able to redeem herself for what she had done. I’m glad President Jiang will bear the fallout on her behalf; it’ll make things much easier.”

Jiang Lun wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to open his big mouth? Great! He was even implicated in this matter because his wife could not get things done properly.

Jiang Lun slapped Xia Chun, sending her sprawling on the ground. Furious, he shouted, “You ignorant fool! I told you to stay at home and behave yourself. Look what you’ve done now. You’ve been causing nothing but trouble all day!”

Xia Chun covered her face, even as tears spilled from her eyes due to the pain. In between sobs, she wailed, “You agreed to this matter! How is it solely my fault?”

Jiang Lun had wanted to push the blame on Xia Chun and relieve himself of all responsibility. Sacrificing her would at least let him plead innocence, but who would have thought she would rat him out?

Jiang Lun tried to correct his wife, but Meng Yu interrupted.

“Since that’s the case, let me inform you that Li Industries will represent the Guan Group in collecting compensation from Kunlun Construction.” Meng Yu was completely serious as he gave notice of his intentions.

Jiang Lun had long heard of Meng Yu’s reputation as a prankster. He would often play tricks, some more harmful than others, on those he informed of his purpose for visiting. He did not expect that the day would come whereby he would be on the receiving end of Meng Yu’s attention.

Thinking of the miserable fate of those families Meng Yu had toyed with, Jiang Lun’s knees turned into jelly, and he knelt on the ground, begging Meng Yu for mercy.

Xia Chun had never seen her husband lose his composure like this. She, too, panicked and cried an ocean of tears, following her husband’s example.

Meng Yu tugged the hem of his trousers away from Jiang Lun’s sweaty hands in disgust. “It’s no fun when you’re so cowardly. Where’s your spirit?” He huffed in annoyance.

Meng Yu swaggered out of the suit upon delivering his message, leaving the Jiang couple a blubbering mess on the floor.

Amid their anxious furor, the hotel manager rushed to meet them, saying that Jiang Xue had offended a big name from Beijing. Jiang Lun was almost scared out of his wits.

His wife had just offended people from Hai City, and now his daughter had done the same with people from Beijing. Jiang Lun could not help but feel like the sky was falling.

He scrambled to his feet and rushed out of the suit, following the hotel manager. Before it was too late, he needed to stop Jiang Xue from whatever she was doing.

Jiang Lun’s fears were realized when he found his daughter in a confrontation with Shen Xi, ordering the hotel’s security to tie the latter up.

“Hah! Let me so who dares!” Lu Lin roared, interposing himself between Shen Xi and everyone else.

“Lu Lin, you’re a rising star. What would your fans say if they knew you were protecting a girl who sells her body for money? Would they still support you, then?” Jiang Xue said, her words ringing in a strange cadence.

Lu Lin was a movie star. Jiang Xue did not believe Lu Lin would put his reputation at stake to protect Shen Xi, a person dogged by rumors.

In any case, Jiang Xue vowed she force Shen Xi to admit that she had photoshopped the image and displayed it on the screen for public viewing. Otherwise, her reputation would forever be stained.
