With his left arm in a plaster cast, Zhao Shaocai was on the phone with his right hand.
The moment he saw Lin Haochen, rage flooded his mind.
As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes burn with hate.
And Lin Haochen wasn’t just any ordinary enemy!
Not only had Lin Haochen broken his arm in public this morning, but now he was even arm-in-arm with Lin Mushu.
As Lin Mushu’s number one suitor, he couldn’t tolerate it!
Since they’d run into each other now, it was the perfect time to settle both new and old scores!
“You again, you punk!
Do you know where you are?
Do you know what’s going on in there?”
Zhao Shaocai stared at Lin Haochen and spoke in a cold voice, positive that the Muchen Group had not received an invitation from the Qihui Conglomerate.
“We wouldn’t have come if we didn’t know!
Now, move!”
Before Lin Haochen could even speak, Lin Mushu cut in, which only made Zhao Shaocai more furious.
‘Lin Mushu is actually protecting this man!’
“Mushu, I know you want to attend this banquet to get in touch with President Deng and discuss a partnership.
But President Deng didn’t invite you, and he wouldn’t break the rules for you.
However…
our Zhao Family is the second-largest investor in the Celestial Valley Exchange project.
If you agree to be my girlfriend, not only can you get inside, but I guarantee I can bring your Muchen Group back from the dead!
What do you say?”
Zhao Shaocai ignored Lin Haochen and spoke directly to Lin Mushu.
This was the very reason he had gone to the Muchen Group to find her this morning, only to run into Lin Haochen instead.
As a member of one of Jin City’s five great families, he knew all about Wansheng Group’s schemes against Muchen Group.
He was just trying to use this opportunity to make Lin Mushu his girlfriend.
“I don’t have an invitation, but President Deng personally invited me this afternoon.
He also said they wouldn’t be checking invitations at tonight’s banquet!”
“Hahaha!
Mushu, stop bluffing.
They may not be checking invitations at the banquet, but that doesn’t mean you can attend without one.
Our invitations have a list of all the attendees for tonight.
Besides, President Huang Yichen himself said that President Deng had something come up unexpectedly today and has fully authorized President Huang to attend in his place.
You claim President Deng invited you this afternoon—who’s going to believe that?”
Zhao Shaocai sneered.
This was the perfect opportunity to win Lin Mushu over.
If Lin Haochen hadn’t suddenly shown up this morning, she would already be his woman!
Hearing Zhao Shaocai’s words, Lin Mushu felt that something wasn’t right.
But President Deng couldn’t possibly have lied to her.
He really had invited her and Lin Haochen!
Seeing Lin Mushu’s somewhat somber expression, Zhao Shaocai was overjoyed.
He said, “Mushu, just agree to be my girlfriend, and I can take you inside.
I’ll even guarantee your Muchen Group can get the partnership with Qihui Conglomerate.
What are you still hesitating for?
Come on!”
As he spoke, Zhao Shaocai stepped forward and reached out with his right hand to take Lin Mushu’s.
“It seems this morning’s lesson wasn’t painful enough!”
Lin Haochen grabbed Zhao Shaocai’s right hand and said in a deep voice.
“You—you—what are you doing!
Let go of me!”
“AH—”
The words had barely left Zhao Shaocai’s mouth when he let out a miserable shriek.
His right hand was broken, too.
His whole body twisted in pain, and he once again collapsed to his knees.
“They say once the wound heals, the pain is forgotten.
Your wound hasn’t even healed, and you’re already asking for a new one!”
Lin Haochen said coldly, ‘These rich kids in Jin City are just asking for it!’
“What’s going on?”
Zhao Shaocai’s shriek drew the attention of the other guests.
Huang Yichen was the first to walk over, with the other attendees trailing behind him.
“Was it you who broke my son’s arm?”
Following behind Huang Yichen was Zhao Shaocai’s father, the current Patriarch of the Zhao Family, Zhao Kuo.
“Dad, President Huang, he’s the one who broke my left arm, too!
They…
they don’t have invitations, and they’re trying to sneak into the banquet!
You have to teach him a lesson!”
Zhao Shaocai was quick to play the victim.
When Zhao Kuo heard that Lin Haochen was the one who had broken his son’s left arm that morning, his expression darkened further.
“President Huang, what do you say to letting me handle this?
After all, this man has broken my son’s arm twice in a single day.
If I don’t do something, the Zhao Family will lose its standing in Jin City.”
Zhao Kuo said in a low voice.
Everyone present was a prominent figure in Jin City.
If this matter wasn’t handled properly, the Zhao Family would lose all face and could no longer be considered one of the five great families.
Huang Yichen nodded slightly.
“Fine,” he said.
“But since you tried to sneak into a banquet hosted by my Qihui Conglomerate without an invitation, you will henceforth be on our blacklist!”
After saying this, Huang Yichen took a step to the side, gesturing for Zhao Kuo to handle it.
“Dad, this has nothing to do with Mushu!
It’s all this punk, Lin Haochen!
Tell the bodyguards to break his arms and legs, then throw him out to feed the fish!”
Zhao Shaocai struggled to his feet.
Even in such a pathetic state, he was still thinking about Lin Mushu.
Zhao Kuo nodded, his expression dark.
He took out his phone and summoned his two bodyguards, who arrived in less than a minute.
He had paid a hefty sum for them; each one could easily handle four or five grown men.
Lin Mushu began to panic at the sight, gripping Lin Haochen’s arm tightly.
Zhao Kuo’s two bodyguards looked like the type who could kill without batting an eye.
“Break all of this man’s limbs, then throw him into the Jinjiang River to feed the fish!”
Without a word, the two burly bodyguards walked up to Lin Haochen and attacked him simultaneously.
