Chapter 130: Using Magic to Defeat Magic

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Using Magic to Defeat Magic

The tattooed man, Sanpao, threw himself to the ground with a practiced ease that put the old woman to shame. Immediately after, he let out an exaggerated wail.

"Ouch! I’m dying of pain!

"It hurts so much!

"I’m injured!"

The old hag was completely dumbfounded by his pathetic performance. How could this young man be even more... shameless than her?

Sanpao wailed while shouting to Liu Qiang and the others, "Bro, did you record all of that?

"Once her son gets here, I’m going to the hospital for a thorough check-up."

The old woman was so frantic she became incoherent. "You... you’re shameless..."

"What?" Sanpao acted like a complete scoundrel. "Are you saying you have no fucking shame?

"And your son is a cursed bastard?"

This comical scene nearly made the security guards—who had come up to mediate after receiving the owner’s call—burst into laughter. However, seeing the fierce and intimidating looks of Liu Qiang and his two buddies nearby, they could only hold it in, their stomachs aching from the effort.

Meanwhile, the neighbors eavesdropping nearby were all bent double with laughter.

"Honey, come look at this!"

"My stomach hurts from laughing!"

"Sure enough, it takes fire to fight fire."

"This is exactly how you should deal with a wicked old hag like her."

"So satisfying!"

This damn old woman came to disturb the peace every day. Everyone had heard about what was happening at the beautiful owner’s apartment, and they all knew who was in the right. But that was how the world worked—there were always people who acted with unreasonable, malicious recklessness.

Separated by just a door, Liu Yiyi watched the scene outside through the peephole. Her initial shock had turned into a muffled giggle.

As the ancients said, it takes a scoundrel to handle a scoundrel. Yunzhou still had the best methods. This was exactly the kind of tactic needed to deal with an old hag like her.

The old woman silently stood up. After her usual tricks failed, she suddenly felt at a loss. Helpless, she could only curse, "You’re a perfectly healthy young man, covered in tattoos, yet you’re rolling around on the floor throwing a tantrum. Have you no shame..."

"Tch." Sanpao’s expression didn’t change. "I earn money through my own skills, so what’s shameless about that!

"Besides, it’s still better than a damn old hag like you. Hurry up and call your son. Otherwise, I guarantee you won’t get a wink of sleep tonight."

The old woman trembled with rage. She wanted to say more, but the moment she opened her mouth, she was choked back into silence.

Leaving wasn’t an option either. Liu Qiang and the others were very experienced. They didn’t get physical; they simply blocked her way. If they couldn’t block her, they followed her. Wherever she went, they went. Even if she went to the bathroom, they would wait outside.

It didn’t matter how much the damn old woman kicked up a fuss. Liu Qiang and his crew had a countermeasure for everything.

Meanwhile.

At the corporate headquarters of Moriyama Mirai.

Zhao Xiu had just arrived for work and flirted a bit with a beautiful new female colleague. Upon returning to his cubicle, he picked up his phone, and the color instantly drained from his face.

[I’ll only say this once. If you don’t want to make a fool of yourself in the office, come out and talk. You have ten minutes.]

He wondered nervously, "Who is this?"

Ever since his divorce, he had been living a wild, uninhibited life of freedom, so his first thought was whether it was the boyfriend or family member of one of his flings coming to settle a score.

He copied and pasted the number, searching across various social media apps, but found no match. As the minutes ticked away, his anxiety grew. After hesitating again and again, he replied to the message.

[Fine! I’ll be right out!]

Shortly after, he made an excuse and briskly left the office, heading toward the location shared by the sender.

Starbucks.

Zhao Xiu took a deep breath and entered the store. He scanned the area and spotted a few beautiful women, but not a single one he had ever been involved with.

Su Yunzhou recognized the pretentious ex-husband in his suit and tie at a glance.

"Hey! Over here!"

Following the voice, Zhao Xiu finally saw Su Yunzhou sitting not far away, slightly raising a hand. Memories instantly flooded his mind, and a look of displeasure crossed his face.

"So it’s you!

"What do you want?"

Su Yunzhou glanced at him. "I have something to talk to you about."

"I... I have nothing to say to you!" Zhao Xiu wasn’t stupid. To reach his current position, he had to have a shrewd mind. Naturally, he guessed why the other man was looking for him. But in his view, the initiative in this conversation should belong to him.

A mocking smile appeared on Su Yunzhou’s lips as he spoke unhurriedly. "Zhao Xiu, thirty-five years old. Lives at China Railway Art City, Building 1, Unit 2, Apartment 902."

Zhao Xiu’s expression stiffened slightly, a flash of panic crossing his face. "What exactly are you trying to do?!"

Su Yunzhou pointed to the empty seat beside him, where a cup of coffee sat. "Do you want to sit down and talk now?"

Zhao Xiu’s expression shifted uncertainly, but he eventually took the seat. Then, he heard the other man continue.

"Your hometown is Lecheng. Your father died early in a car accident, and it was only thanks to the compensation money that you got the chance to retake your college entrance exams..."

As Su Yunzhou narrated, Zhao Xiu’s expression grew much more serious. "What exactly is your point?"

Su Yunzhou continued impassively. "A month ago, your company was acquired by Moriyama Mirai. You pulled a lot of strings just to get the chance to work here!"

At this point, a chill had already risen in Zhao Xiu’s heart.

"I... I’ve already divorced her!

"I can’t talk my mother out of it..."

"Heh." Su Yunzhou sneered. "Speaking of which, I also know someone from your company."

Zhao Xiu was a little confused, but then he watched as Su Yunzhou took out his phone and made a video call.

"What are you trying to do?"

"Shh." Su Yunzhou placed a finger to his lips.

Just then, the video call connected.

"Chairman Ye, long time no see!"

"Su! It’s been a while! How was the wine I sent you last time?"

"Excellent, of course! That’s why I was thinking..."

Beside him, Zhao Xiu subconsciously glanced at the video screen, and his entire body went numb. The person in the video was the chairman of their conglomerate, one of Rongcheng’s top ten entrepreneurs—Ye Sen.

A stormy sea of shock was already surging in his heart.

He thought frantically, "He actually knows Chairman Ye?

"And judging by their conversation, they’re very close!

"What? Chairman Ye actually agreed to bring his family to an appointment!

"Just how powerful are his connections?!"

Just as his imagination ran wild...

SMACK.

Su Yunzhou hung up the phone and slammed a hand onto the table, perfectly squashing a flying mosquito. Then he raised his eyes, looking at the anxious Zhao Xiu with a half-smile, as if to say that if he didn’t satisfy him, he would end up just like this mosquito.

Zhao Xiu lowered his head, harboring some resentment in his heart, but what good was resentment? Offend a terrifyingly well-connected second-generation heir over a woman? He naturally knew how to weigh the pros and cons. To the other party, crushing him would be no different from crushing a mosquito.

He knew just how terrifying and brilliant the methods of people in that circle could be. And he could roughly guess the reason why the other party was willing to sit down and talk to him now.

It was simply because he didn’t want to waste time and money.

That was how people in that circle operated. They would give you one chance. But if you pushed your luck, you would face the consequences.

If Su Yunzhou could hear his inner thoughts right now, he would definitely sigh, "Kid, you have way too wild an imagination. It’s a damn shame you don’t write novels!"

In reality, Zhao Xiu’s basic background info came from Li Yan and Liu Yiyi, and finding out more about him was easier than expected. As for calling Ye Sen, that was purely an improvised move to scare him. He hadn’t expected the effect to be this striking.

"Phew." Zhao Xiu let out a long sigh and said dejectedly, "Mr. Su, I understand. This kind of problem will absolutely never happen again..."

Hearing his guarantee, a satisfied smile appeared on Su Yunzhou’s face, and he promptly showed him the door.

"You can leave now!"

Watching Zhao Xiu obediently stand up, Su Yunzhou offered a friendly reminder. "Take the coffee I ordered for you!

"Extra-strong Americano! Refreshing and stimulating!

"You should like it very much..."
