Chapter 37 Audacity
That gun was held by a lean young man beside Meng Lezhi.
Xiao Shun squinted at him and immediately sensed that the man was surrounded by a thick layer of dark energy, indicating that he had killed some people. He secretly mobilized the spiritual energy in his body.
If he dared to shoot, he had to take him out right away.
“Gun!”
“Crap, he’s got a gun out.”
“Mr. Meng, is this really necessary?”
Commotion broke out from the crowd as those people murmured.
Meng Lezhi frowned and stared at Xiao Shun, raising his hand to the arm of the young man and gesturing for him to drop the gun.
He recalled what he had just said and asked, “What did you just say?”
Xiao Shun looked up with a calm face and said, “I said, get the hell out of my place with these friends of yours.”
Meng Lezhi’s face changed and his brow furrowed.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
A tall, young woman in a black suit walked in quickly, followed by a young man in his early thirties.
“Miss Yang?” Meng Lezhi said in surprise.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
That Miss Yang only glanced at him for a moment before resting her gaze on Xiao Shun. She asked with a respectful look.
“You’re Mr. Xiao, right?”
“Yes.” Xiao Shun returned calmly.
“I’m Mr. Wang’s assistant, Yang Qing.”
Xiao Shun gave a slight nod.
“Does Miss Yang know him?” Meng Lezhi asked, confused.
Yang Qing ignored him and walked directly to Xiao Shun, saying respectfully, “I’ve almost finished the formalities. Now, Mr. Xiao, you just need to sign and then this place is yours.”
Boom!
The crowd around them broke into commotion as they all looked at them with incredulous faces.
Was this young man in rags the owner of this villa? Then why did Mr. Meng call them here for a party?
Xiao Shun smiled lightly and extended his hand to Yang Qing.
Yang Qing immediately stepped forward and handed him a document and a ballpoint pen.
After he signed, Yang Qing scanned around the place, and the security guards on the floor, and frowned, “Is Mr. Xiao having a housewarming party?”
Xiao Shun laughed bitterly, “It’s indeed a party, but it’s not for me.”
He quickly glanced over the crowd, “I’m not sure where all these people came from, and they were all here when I came in.”
At that, he turned to Meng Lezhi and said languidly, “It is said that you called them in. Can you give me an explanation? Why are you having a party at my house?”
Meanwhile, Yang Qing’s lingering gaze turned to Meng Lezhi helplessly.
“Maybe I know what’s going on. Mr. Xiao, hold on a moment, I’ll call Mr. Wang.”
“Miss Yang, please, don’t tell Mr. Wang. I know I’m wrong. This will be the last time.” Meng Lezhi instantly panicked and begged.
Yang Qing completely ignored him, took out the phone and dialed Wang Feng’s number, walked over to the side and said something to him.
A moment later, she returned and handed the phone to Xiao Shun, “Mr. Wang wants to talk to you.”
Xiao Shun picked up the phone and heard Wang Feng’s voice, “Master Xiao, this is my fault…”
It soon became clear to Xiao Shun what was going on.
In fact, Meng Lezhi was a distant relative of Wang Feng, who was a business partner of the Song family, so because of Wang Feng, he got into Gumble Property and got the position of General Manager. It’s been a few years now and Meng Lezhi had done the job pretty well in that position, although he really liked to brag about his relationship with the Song family.
But none of this was anything serious. Since he was doing alright, Wang Feng and the Song family never came to him for that.
This villa had been idle for a while, so Wang Feng gave a key to him so he could take care of the villa. For one thing, he was originally the president of Gumble Property, and for another, they were relatives, so Wang Feng trusted him.
After Wang Feng gave the house to Xiao Shun, he left in such a hurry that he forgot to ask for the key back.
Meng Lezhi was also surprisingly bold enough to party here without Wang Feng’s permission.
“Master Xiao, then… let me handle this matter, okay?” Wang Feng said somewhat awkwardly even over the phone.
“Sure.” Xiao Shun said.
“Please give the phone to that asshole.” Wang Feng said with a sigh.
Xiao Shun handed the phone to Meng Lezhi.
Meng Lezhi hurriedly picked up the phone with both hands. He was suddenly sweating profusely and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a tissue.
After he finally finished his call, he bowed deeply towards Xiao Shun in a panic and said with sincerity and fear.
“Mr. Xiao, I should have recognized you, but I really didn’t know you were Mr. Wang’s friend, so please forgive me. I will pay for what happened tonight…”
Yang Qing was not sure what Wang Feng had said to Xiao Shun and spoke, “Mr. Xiao, what do you think I can do for you?”
“Since Mr. Wang said so, you can deal with it your way. It’s your own business.”
Xiao Shun crossed his arms. He wasn’t going to spend his time on these things.
Yang Qing nodded slightly and turned to Meng Lezhi, “Then you should stay, take care of everything, and then wait for further arrangements from the company.”
“Yes, yes,” Meng Lezhi said.
“Mr. Xiao, if there’s nothing else I can do for you, then I’ll go back first. If you need anything, you can just tell Mr. Meng.” Yang Qing said to Xiao Shun with a smile.
After Xiao Shun nodded his head, Yang Qing left the villa.
Xiao Shun scanned across the group of people in the villa.
“Since someone has lost something valuable in my house, it is my duty as the host to help the owner get it back, so let’s find the lost diamond ring.”
At that, he looked to Meng Lezhi, “So, you still think I stole the ring now?”
Meng Lezhi gulped and said awkwardly, “How would you even possibly care about some ring?”
“Well, thank you then. I appreciate that.”
Xiao Shun stared up at him with a complicated expression, “And who do you think has stolen that ring?”
“I… I don’t know.” Meng Lezhi was momentarily speechless.
Meng Lezhi could only remain silent.
“Then I’ll give you a hint.”
Xiao Shun said and turned his gaze to Yao Han, “Maybe you should go search him, and maybe he has that ring.”
Yao Han had been so confused all this while. Xiao Shun defeated Long San, beat up dozens of fully armed security guards and suddenly became the owner of such a premium villa. He couldn’t believe his eyes.
In the past two hours, this tramp had given him more surprises than all the past thirty years combined.
