Chapter 32: Don't Provoke Women
"I have eyes but failed to see, I overestimated my own strength and was blinded by greed. I beg you, sir, spare my life!"
Scorpion knelt and prostrated himself at Chen Che's feet, his entire body trembling.
He finally realized what kind of existence he had provoked; even Master Shen Qi of the Qibao Association knelt and called him master.
How could he have thought of going back to provoke him? How did he dare to run away in the first place?
Regret and fear filled Scorpion's heart, yet he waited a long time without hearing Chen Che speak.
This agony of waiting for judgment was like an endless dark night; his heart was filled with coldness and terror, and before he knew it, a foul stench began to emanate from his pants.
"Geez, he didn't pee himself, did he?"
Cheng Kexiang pinched her nose and said with a look of disgust.
Ma Menghan covered her nose and mouth, saying in a muffled voice, "It might not just be pee."
Shen Qi stepped forward and requested, "Master, leave this kind of idiot to me to handle, so as not to dirty your eyes."
The smell was indeed too pungent, so Chen Che nodded and said, "Take him away to get cleaned up first; I still have things to say."
"Yes."
Shen Qi ordered his men to take Scorpion away. Chen Che and the others left the rooftop and found a coffee shop.
Chen Che had Shen Qi bring a computer, plugged in the USB Flash Drive, and checked the video inside.
"So the purpose of those two siblings is to ruin the engagement between Sister Cheng and Zhang."
Ma Menghan said indignantly, "But their methods are too despicable. To think they would actually resort to poisoning and drugging."
Cheng Kexiang, being in the thick of it, was so angry her face turned livid: "How hateful! So the time I was poisoned before was also their doing!"
Cheng Kexin pulled out the USB Flash Drive, closed the computer, and said, "Now their scheme won't succeed. With this video, the eldest uncle's family will also be severely punished by Grandfather."
Although that was said, Chen Che clearly observed that Cheng Kexin was not in a good mood.
"That's right, Grandfather will definitely punish them severely!" Cheng Kexiang said, "Sister, let's show the video to Grandfather right now!"
"Wait."
"No rush yet," Chen Che spoke up. "Cheng Qian and Cheng Song don't know yet that their conspiracy has been exposed by us. Since they decided to wait until next week's Cheng Family gathering to expose it, we will wait until then too."
"Exactly," Cheng Kexin echoed. "To completely defeat the eldest uncle's family, this alone is not enough. I will take this week to investigate the eldest uncle's businesses over the years, striving to strike a fatal blow so they can never target us again."
Seeing Chen Che and Cheng Kexin echoing each other with such tacit understanding, Cheng Kexiang felt an indescribable sense of discomfort in her heart.
"Then how do we stall Cheng Qian these few days?"
Cheng Kexiang voiced her concern, "Cheng Qian will definitely get suspicious if she can't get the video."
"Don't worry," Chen Che smiled. "To stall Cheng Qian, we have a ready-made pawn."
At this moment, Shen Qi returned with the freshly scrubbed Scorpion.
Upon seeing Chen Che, Scorpion immediately knelt and prostrated himself on the ground, his forehead pressed against the floor, not daring to move a muscle.
"Do you want to die?" Chen Che asked.
Scorpion's body jolted, and he hurriedly replied, "No, I don't!"
"To be honest, your performance last time disappointed me greatly, but I have decided to give you one more chance."
Chen Che said slowly, "Of course, whether you can keep your life in the end depends on your performance from here on out."
"I will definitely not let you down, Master, definitely!"
Like a drowning man clutching at a straw, Scorpion hurriedly promised.
Seeing that the timing was right, Chen Che said, "I will have Shen Qi give you a fake USB Flash Drive, which you will take to your employer. Of course, you cannot give it to her easily."
"You must stall until a week later, the day I say you can give it. As for how you stall, that is none of my business. But there is one thing: on the day of the transaction, you must go in person, and the condition is that you only trade with Cheng Qian—that is, the woman in the video."
"What I need you to do is to rape her during the transaction. If you can also extort extra money, that's yours to keep."
Chen Che looked at Scorpion, who was lying on the ground not daring to lift his head, and asked, "Do you understand?"
"Understood, understood!"
Scorpion kowtowed several times with a thudding sound.
Chen Che signaled to Shen Qi, and Shen Qi ordered his men to take Scorpion away.
After Scorpion left, Chen Che said to Shen Qi, "After he completes the transaction—"
Chen Che made a cold throat-slitting gesture, and Shen Qi nodded respectfully, feeling an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
This was the master he, Shen Qi, followed!
Decisive in killing, allowing no one to defy or overstep!
"Since you decided not to keep him, why make him rape Cheng Qian?"
Ma Menghan asked, puzzled.
As a woman, she felt Chen Che's approach was just as despicable as the Cheng siblings.
Chen Che didn't care and said, "She was the one who called people to deal with my senior sister first; I am merely paying her back in her own coin."
"Senior sister?"
Ma Menghan's gaze wandered back and forth between Chen Che and Cheng Kexin, muttering to herself.
Hearing Chen Che say this, Cheng Kexin pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes looking at Chen Che with tenderness.
Cheng Kexiang noticed the exchange of glances between Chen Che and Cheng Kexin, and her little mood flared up, causing her to pout in dissatisfaction.
"So what do we do now? Just stare at each other here?"
Cheng Kexiang said sarcastically.
Ma Menghan sensed Cheng Kexiang's little temper and spoke up to smooth things over, "So Sister Cheng has an engagement with Zhang; I only just found out. The man worthy of Sister Cheng must be quite good, this Zhang."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Kexin's face instantly darkened. Cheng Kexiang's expression didn't look good either.
Ma Menghan knew she had said the wrong thing and was at a loss, her eyes seeking help from Chen Che.
Just as Chen Che was about to speak, Cheng Kexin said first, "By the way, I've found the address of that benefactor uncle of yours."
Chen Che was stunned: "Where?"
Cheng Kexin sent the message to Chen Che's phone and said: "The person is in the West Straight District. I've sent you the specific address. You should go busy yourself with your own affairs tomorrow. You don't need to worry about the Cheng Family side anymore."
Chen Che looked up, stared at Cheng Kexin, and said: "But the Cheng Family's affairs haven't been completely resolved yet."
"It's already a done deal. You've already helped a lot; the rest needs to be handled by me personally."
Cheng Kexin stood up and smiled: "Little Junior Brother, you are so promising; Master will be very gratified."
Chen Che frowned, looking at Cheng Kexin without speaking.
Cheng Kexin could not withstand Chen Che's gaze and turned to leave.
With her Bodyguard sent away by her sister, Cheng Kexiang uncharacteristically said nothing and instead followed quickly behind.
Chen Che stared at Cheng Kexin's back, lost in thought; Cheng Kexin's abnormality began from the moment the Zhang Family's engagement was mentioned.
It was the same the previous few times; whenever her engagement to the Zhang Family was mentioned, Cheng Kexin's reaction was particularly intense.
This made Chen Che start to become curious about this engagement and the so-called Zhang, the young master of the number one family in Shanghai.
"Hey!"
Ma Menghan shouted, pulling Chen Che's thoughts back.
Chen Che turned his head to look at her and asked: "What's wrong?"
"How are we going to settle our accounts?" Ma Menghan had the look of a creditor collecting a debt.
Chen Che was puzzled: "What debt do we have between us?"
Ma Menghan glared at him and said: "How could there not be?! You touched me and even took off my clothes. As a maiden, my important parts were all seen by you. Tell me, do you owe me or not?!"
"But that was because you were drugged, and in the end, I didn't do anything to you," Chen Che said innocently.
"I don't care!" Ma Menghan grabbed Chen Che's arm, "You saw my body, so you have to take responsibility for me!"
After coming down the mountain, the feeling that left Chen Che most speechless was that women were too much trouble.
"I cannot take responsibility for you; I still have a vendetta to settle."
Chen Che reasoned with her, "And rest assured, I won't go around talking about it or do anything to damage your reputation. As for the responsibility you mentioned, sorry, I can't do it. And I don't feel that I owe you anything."
Ma Menghan looked up at Chen Che, attempting to see through his intentions.
She had realized earlier that Chen Che could not possibly be a Bodyguard for the Cheng Family, and the events that happened today confirmed this point.
Now that Chen Che had exposed that he had a vendetta to settle... she suddenly felt that the man before her was so mysterious, and she wanted to know more about him.
"If you want me to stop pestering you, that's fine, promise me three things."
Ma Menghan held up three fingers and said.
Chen Che knew that if he didn't agree, this woman wouldn't give up, so he had to say: "Fine, what things?"
"The first thing: I don't care if you're going to settle a vendetta or do whatever, take me with you."
Ma Menghan said, her eyes full of curiosity.
"If you aren't afraid of danger, no problem."
Chen Che asked: "What about the other two things?"
"I haven't thought of them yet; I'll tell you when I have," Ma Menghan said with a crafty look.
Chen Che sighed deeply; sure enough, one must never provoke women.
