Chapter 285: Chapter 173: You Can’t Take It Already? I Haven’t Even Started.

The beach pier!

A diving speedboat came to a steady stop at the pier.

"Brother Bu, I saw you getting real close with that pretty tourist underwater just now. How was it? Feel good?" a big, burly man with a bronze tan said to the man beside him, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

The man called Brother Bu shot him a glance and said smugly, "Is that even a question? You have no idea what a little tramp she became once we were in the water. Kept pressing herself against me. If it weren’t for the wrong place and time, I would’ve done her right there."

A flicker of contempt crossed the bronze-skinned man’s eyes. ’Pressing herself against you? More like you pulled some of your little tricks. As if everyone at the diving club doesn’t know your game.’

Still, talk was talk... He was pretty envious of Ah Bu. Looking at Ah Bu’s eight-pack abs and handsome-enough face, he couldn’t help but sigh. ’Some guys have all the luck.’

’Why don’t I ever get chances like that?’ He looked down at his own single, round belly and secretly resolved to start working out seriously.

The two of them walked into the Deep Blue Diving Club, talking and laughing.

As soon as they entered, they saw the young receptionist leaning over the desk, writing something. The sight of her perfect curves instantly made Ah Bu hot under the collar.

"Lily~ How about we grab dinner after work!" Ah Bu leaned in close to her and said loudly, his eyes brazenly roving up and down her body.

The receptionist, Lily, looked up at Ah Bu beside her. Seeing his shameless gaze, she instinctively took two steps to the side.

She was about to snap back at him but then remembered the group of people who had come to the manager’s office looking for Ah Bu earlier. "Manager Chen is looking for you," she said instead. "He’s waiting for you in his office. He said you should go see him as soon as you’re back."

Ah Bu was a little surprised to hear this, as the manager rarely paid him any mind. "Do you know what Manager Chen wants?"

"How would I know? Go ask the manager yourself!" Lily said, rolling her eyes at him.

Seeing this, a smirk appeared on Ah Bu’s face. "Lily, you’re so cute when you roll your eyes."

"Get lost!" Lily shouted. She was truly fed up with this shameless scoundrel, but there was nothing she could do about him. She could only hope that group of people would give Ah Bu a good lesson.

"HAHAHA~ Even cuter when you’re angry!" Ah Bu laughed smugly, giving Lily a suggestive wag of his eyebrows before striding toward the manager’s office. As he left, he added, "Wait for me!"

At the Deep Blue Diving Club, Ah Bu was universally loathed. The female colleagues, in particular, were constantly harassed by him, but reporting him to the management yielded no results. At most, he’d get a slap on the wrist.

Rumor had it that Ah Bu had connections within the parent corporation, which was why he dared to be so brazen at the club. Most people could only swallow their anger and endure it.

Ah Bu strode toward the manager’s office. As he passed through the main hall, many staff members who saw him consciously turned their heads away, pretending not to see him.

Ah Bu was used to such scenes.

Reaching the door to the manager’s office, Ah Bu didn’t bother knocking and pushed it open, walking right in.

"Manager Chen, what did you want to see me for—" Before he could finish, he saw about ten people sitting and standing in the office, all of them staring at him.

Manager Chen was sitting on the sofa, watching him. Upon seeing his arrival, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Manager Chen, what’s all this...?" Ah Bu glanced at Su Chen and the others sitting by the desk, then walked over to Manager Chen and asked in a low voice.

Manager Chen didn’t even spare him a glance. He stood up, walked over to Su Chen’s side, and said respectfully, "Sir, this is Ah Bu, the man you were looking for."

The reason for his rapid change in attitude was that while they were waiting for Ah Bu, one of the men in the group had taken off his mask out of thirst, and Manager Chen had recognized him in a single glance.

For the young master of the great Wada Group to appear in his humble little diving club—that alone was enough to make Manager Chen be on his utmost guard.

What’s more, they had come looking for trouble. But what shocked him most was that this entire group seemed to defer to the young man sitting in his own chair.

How could that fact not make him bow his head and lower his stance? He had no death wish; he wasn’t about to offend these top-tier rich kids.

Standing to the side, a still-confused Ah Bu heard Manager Chen’s words, and his heart instantly dropped. He had a strong feeling these people weren’t looking for him for anything good.

He’d had a bad feeling the moment he walked in. Now, a glance toward the door confirmed it: two bodyguards had been posted there at some point.

Ah Bu forced himself to stay calm and managed to squeeze out a smile. Looking at Su Chen, who was sitting in the manager’s chair, he asked, "May I ask what business this gentleman has with me?"

"What business? It’s only been a few hours. Have you forgotten already?" Su Chen said, his face expressionless and his tone chillingly cold.

"A few hours? Sir, I don’t understand what you mean..." At first, Ah Bu couldn’t figure it out, but as he spoke, the incident from the morning’s dive flashed through his mind. A chill instantly ran down his spine.

If he still couldn’t put two and two together by now, he wouldn’t have been capable of pulling off underwater extortion in the first place.

"Ahem~ Sir, I really don’t know what you’re talking about." Ah Bu’s main strategy was simple: deny everything. After all, they had no proof he did anything.

As long as he held firm, there was nothing they could do to him. He’d been through this sort of thing many times before.
