Chapter 665: I Am the Rule

~7 min read 1,330 words

Speaking of Xu Baoshan, he is absolutely an overlord in Shengjing. Although Shengjing is under the feet of the Heavenly Child and the control over the underground world has been extremely strict these years, he has a background and unclear connections with some martial arts families, so no one dares to provoke him.

It is precisely because Li Shan has this layer of relationship with him that he is so arrogant, and it is also because of Xu Baoshan's relationship that this guy was able to get out so quickly.

"That's right, scared? Weren't you quite arrogant before?" Li Shan laughed and said, "If you don't go today, this matter won't be over. Go to Boss Xu and have a good talk. If you need to kowtow and admit your mistake, then kowtow; if you need to pay compensation, then pay. No matter what, it can save your Life. If you don't go, bear the consequences yourself."

"Cousin, let's go, solve this matter once and for all. I will go with you," Chen Yu said calmly.

"Okay, with you here, I feel at ease." Zhang Hu nodded heavily. Chen Yu is now like a backbone to him; with Chen Yu here, he is afraid of nothing.

"Kid, even if you don't go, I will still find you. Do you think that just because you know a few rich young masters in the circle, you can walk sideways in Shengjing City? I tell you, the water in this place called Shengjing is very deep," Li Shan sneered. "Consider this a lesson for you."

"Let's go. I want to see this big boss behind the scenes of yours and see what kind of sacred person he is," Chen Yu sneered, and went out with Zhang Hu.

West of Shengjing, in a manor.

This manor covers an area of several hundred mu, and this place is a private manor. Although there are many powerful and influential people in Shengjing, those who can own such a large manor definitely surpass most people.

In a palace-style building at the very center of the manor, Chen Yu and Zhang Hu met this legendary figure, Xu Baoshan.

Xu Baoshan is over forty. Although he started as a gang leader, one can see an aura of someone who has been in a high position for a long time on him. There is a Buddha statue placed beside him, and when the two arrived, he was burning incense and chanting to the Buddha statue.

"Boss Xu, the people have been brought here." Li Shan bowed respectfully, then pointed at Chen Yu and the other, and said through gritted teeth, "The ones who got me locked up are these two."

Xu Baoshan opened his eyes. He picked up three sticks of incense, bowed respectfully to the Buddha statue, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the Buddha statue, only then slowly turning around.

His eyelids were half-raised, giving people a feeling of being high and mighty. He glanced at Chen Yu and Zhang Hu, and his final gaze fell on Zhang Hu.

"You are Zhang Hu?" Xu Baoshan spoke.

"Yes, I am Zhang Hu." Zhang Hu nodded and bowed slightly to Xu Baoshan, saying, "Greetings, Senior Xu."

"I have heard of you. You are quite loyal." Xu Baoshan sat down slowly and said unhurriedly, "I have asked Li Shan to contact you more than once and extend an olive branch to you, but you have refused every time."

"Thank you for your favor, Boss Xu, but the club of mine was left by my boss. The rules he set, I cannot break," Zhang Hu gritted his teeth and said. "And I also believe that it is better not to touch certain things."

"Hehe, alright, you think you have a lot of principles?" Xu Baoshan narrowed his eyes, putting pressure on Zhang Hu. "You think you are very righteous? If you really are like this, then I tell you, you are wrong."

"In this world, only fists are the hard truth. I was once like you, having principles, but later I discovered that having principles is useless; it only leaves you struggling on the poverty line every day."

"If you want to stand in a high position, you must use any means necessary, and in this world, very few people can resist the temptation of money."

"Boss Xu is right," Zhang Hu did not refute.

"Your boss has your boss's rules, and I have my rules here," Xu Baoshan said calmly. "I am very protective of my subordinates, but my subordinate suffered a loss in front of you, so I must get this back for him. Otherwise, my people will think I am not righteous and do not protect them."

"What do you want?" Zhang Hu gritted his teeth.

"First, break your two legs or two hands and get out of Shengjing from now on. Second, take fifty million as compensation. Third..." Xu Baoshan stood up and walked to Zhang Hu's side, "Work for me from now on."

Zhang Hu's expression changed drastically; he could not accept any of these three conditions. Just as he was in a dilemma, Chen Yu behind him spoke up.

"A fifty-million check, consider it compensation for Li Shan." Chen Yu took out a check without a word, wrote it down, and handed it forward. "Let this matter be settled, and from now on, we will mind our own business."

"Xiaoyu, this won't do." Zhang Hu's expression changed; he could not take Chen Yu's money.

"It's fine, I can still afford this much money." Chen Yu smiled. He patted Zhang Hu, signaling that he would handle it, and walked forward to hand over the check.

"Kid, this is none of your business," Li Shan said angrily.

"Who are you?" Xu Baoshan looked at Chen Yu with slanted eyes.

"I am his cousin, my name is Chen Yu, and I will handle his affairs," Chen Yu said calmly.

"When I do things, I don't like people interfering. Do you understand the rules?" A trace of murderous intent flashed in Xu Baoshan's eyes.

"Sorry, I don't really understand your rules," Chen Yu smiled and said. "And I don't want to cause trouble either. The fifty-million check is here. Let Li Shan take it, and this matter will be settled."

Xu Baoshan stared at Chen Yu, and Chen Yu stared back at him without showing any weakness. He suddenly laughed, took the check from Chen Yu's hand, and tore it to shreds.

"You..." Zhang Hu was furious. Xu Baoshan's action was an insult.

"I met the conditions you just mentioned, but you went back on your word? Is this your rule?" Chen Yu was not angry; he said with a smile.

"In Jing, I am the rule," Xu Baoshan laughed. "So now I have changed the rules. Either break his two legs and two hands, or he works for me. Choose one of the two."

"Sorry, I only know that in life and work, especially as a boss, one must keep one's word," Chen Yu said, writing another check. He threw it with his right hand, dropping the check in front of Xu Baoshan. "Keep the check, I won't keep you company anymore."

Li Shan on the side had his expression change. He had been with Xu Baoshan for a long time and knew how crazy this guy was. He could kill someone over a disagreement. Chen Yu defying him and even insulting Xu Baoshan like this—is this kid tired of living?

"Good, very good." Xu Baoshan's expression became extremely furious. "If you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, men, come here."

Following Xu Baoshan's roar, six men in black suits suddenly appeared.

These six men were permeated with a faint scent of blood. They were all mercenaries from the border, licking blood from the edge of a blade, having crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
