Chapter 4 You're asking for it!
"Youyou, are you alright?"
Xiao Chen gently applied a hot towel to Lin Youyou's face, asking her with concern.
Lin Youyou shook her head.
"I'm fine, you should go check on Miss San..." She glanced at Xiao Shanshan and said in a low voice.
Xiao Shanshan was slapped hard twice, and both cheeks were swollen high, which was much worse than what she suffered.
"Why should I care about an outsider? I think she wasn't beaten enough," Xiao Chen said coldly.
Lin Youyou opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Xiao Shanshan covered her face and stood by the window, her eyes fixed on the view downstairs.
She could hear their conversation.
Hearing Xiao Chen call her an outsider, she inexplicably became furious.
How dare those who were once the Xiao family's dogs be so arrogant now?
"Ungrateful wretch! Bastard!" she cursed inwardly.
She was determined to avenge those two slaps.
She looked out the window for a long time, but still couldn't see anyone, and she became anxious.
Why aren't they here yet?
How dare they disobey her orders...
A few minutes later, two cars finally drove up.
Xiao Shanshan became excited instantly.
"My men are here, you're all going to die!" she said viciously, walking to the door and pulling it open.
The Lin family members looked at each other, their faces showing fear.
I had heard a lot about the deeds of the third young lady of the Xiao family before; she was very intimidating in the underworld.
Xiao Shanshan was willful and capricious, and had once offended a powerful figure in the underworld, but in the end, the other party personally came to apologize, and her reputation spread as a result.
The expressions on the Lin family's faces made Xiao Shanshan feel good.
She looked at Xiao Chen, trying to find any sign of fear or panic on his face, but all she saw was his calm expression, which made her feel a tightness in her chest.
"You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, you'll be sorry!" she thought bitterly.
Soon, footsteps could be heard, and several people came upstairs.
"Why are you only arriving now?" Xiao Shanshan scolded with a long face.
However, those people acted as if they didn't see her and simply stepped right past her.
"you……"
Xiao Shanshan was immediately enraged when she was ignored.
"Are you all blind? Can't you see me? Who gave you the audacity?" she snapped.
But no one paid any attention to her, and the group went straight into the Lin family's house.
Xiao Shanshan's face was extremely gloomy, and she was about to explode with rage when she went inside.
"The president of the Azure Dragon Society! And the four hall masters..."
Upon seeing the group of people who entered, Lin Hai's face turned deathly pale.
These are all ruthless figures in the South City underworld.
The leader of the Azure Dragon Society is a powerful figure with influence throughout the southern city; people like them from the bottom rungs of society simply cannot afford to offend him.
"I just borrowed tens of thousands of yuan, and they're already coming to collect the debt?" Lin Hai's face was very unnatural, filled with panic.
Lin Youyou and Zhang Qin also looked nervous and very scared.
The leader of the Azure Dragon Society led the four hall masters toward the Tang family, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Seeing the Lin family's behavior from behind, Xiao Shanshan sneered repeatedly, and her anger subsided considerably.
"President, the young people are ignorant. I offended Miss San. Please forgive my mistake and only hold me accountable. Don't hold it against them..." Lin Hai stepped forward and humbly pleaded.
"I will repay the money I owe you, with interest, as soon as possible!"
"Heh, who do you think you are? Can you handle this?" Xiao Shanshan sneered from behind, her expression mocking and disdainful.
"No matter how much you beg, I will not let Xiao Chen and you go! This is the price for those two slaps!" she said fiercely.
"You lot, do you know what to do?" she ordered the members of the Azure Dragon Society.
The leader of the Azure Dragon Society frowned, turned around, and stared coldly at her.
"How dare you look at me like that!" Xiao Shanshan said, displeased.
"If you keep making noise, I'll tear your mouth apart!" the Azure Dragon Society leader said menacingly.
Xiao Shanshan was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Is this still the same underworld boss who fawned over her at every turn?
How dare he be so insolent!
“Mr. Lin Hai, I have come here in person to apologize to you.” The president of the Azure Dragon Society turned around and said apologetically, “Today when you went to the Azure Dragon Society to apply for a loan, your subordinates’ attitude was inappropriate, and we have really offended them.”
"Huh? An apology?"
Lin Hai and Zhang Qin were shocked, while Lin Youyou's eyes widened.
"No, no, no... How could we dare? Chairman, don't worry, we will definitely pay back the money we owe the Azure Dragon Society as soon as possible!" Lin Hai quickly assured him.
They all thought it was a trick by the Green Dragon Society and were terrified.
"The money owed to our Azure Dragon Society doesn't need to be repaid! Consider it our apology," the Azure Dragon Society's leader said with a wave of his hand.
"What?" The Lin family was stunned and couldn't believe it.
"What are you guys up to?" Xiao Shanshan asked, both shocked and furious.
"I called you here to apologize to them? Have you lost your minds?" she shouted angrily.
"Xiao Shanshan, you're courting death!" The Azure Dragon Society leader said coldly and sternly.
A long knife was pressed directly against Xiao Shanshan's neck, just a few inches away from slicing her throat.
The chilling killing intent stunned Xiao Shanshan.
A trace of color seeped from her fair neck, and the chill made her pretty face turn deathly pale.
"How...how dare you talk to me like that..." Her confidence waned, her bravado masking her inner weakness.
She couldn't understand why the person who had once been so obsequious had suddenly changed his ways.
"Do you think your status as the third young lady of the Xiao family is anything special?" The president of the Azure Dragon Society said with a sneer.
"Do you think that all those underworld figures are so respectful to you because you have some kind of guts?"
"Xiao Shanshan, don't take yourself too seriously. Without that person behind you, you're nothing, you'd be dead a million times over!"
These words immediately made Xiao Shanshan's expression stiffen.
Over the years, she has enjoyed the respect and adoration of people in the underworld, but she has never thought about why.
Every time she offended a powerful figure in the underworld, within a few days someone would go to the Xiao family to beg for her forgiveness. After doing this many times, she had become arrogant and self-important.
She assumed it was because of her status as the third young lady of the Xiao family and her extraordinary charm.
"The person behind me? Who's behind me?" she asked in surprise.
"That person is an unparalleled figure, an existence beyond your imagination!" The president of the Azure Dragon Society said with utmost reverence, glancing subtly at the silent Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Shanshan, you could have been the woman at the pinnacle of power in this world, but unfortunately, you ruined everything with your own hands." The president of the Azure Dragon Society revealed a mocking smile.
"Without that person's protection, you're nothing!"
Xiao Shanshan was stunned.
She couldn't understand what the other person was saying.
Who is the powerful figure behind her, and what was ruined by her?
She didn't do anything.
"I don't care about anything else, you all have to obey my orders now! Arrest Xiao Chen!" she shouted hysterically.
The two slaps had driven her to madness.
"Throw this crazy woman out!" the Azure Dragon Society leader said, frowning.
Two hall masters walked over, and no matter how much Xiao Shanshan struggled and cursed, it was no use.
She was thrown out of the Tang family like trash.
Xiao Shanshan was covered in dirt and looked utterly disheveled.
"You...you're going to rebel?" she roared.
"If you don't leave now, you'll never leave," a hall master said coldly.
"brush!"
A lock of hair near her neck was cut off.
Xiao Shanshan's face turned pale, and she stumbled backward.
She was extremely resentful and unwilling to accept this.
I just can't understand why things turned out this way...
Who is this extraordinary person behind me, and why did they suddenly abandon me?
"What did I do wrong?" she roared in frustration as she left.
