Mo Yizhi once said that what businessmen pursued was only the best benefit. The implication was that they didn’t care whether the methods were despicable or not.
Since that was the case, I would not give a damn about it either. Today I would not only humiliate Liu Xiaosheng, but I would also want to drive a wedge between him and Zhang Mingjie.
Only a fool would not be able to tell what I was thinking, Liu Xiaosheng’s expression instantly changed, Zhang Mingjie on the side hurriedly said, “It is your two’s game. I’m just a bystander, why are you dragging me into this? Also, this joke is a bit too much, don’t you think so?…”
“Okay!” Liu Xiaosheng ignored Li Song’s objection and responded, making everyone except me stunned.
“Words once spoken-”
“Cannot be taken back!”
“The one who drags the wolf back first will be the winner! All those present will be our witnesses.”
“Whoever goes back on their words will not be a man!”
I struck Liu Xiaosheng’s hand as a sign of agreement, looking unconcerned. Liu Xiaosheng couldn’t help but be surprised by my calm reaction. I knew why he was surprised, and I also knew what Liusu, Chu Yuan, Dong Xiaoye, and Shu Tong were worried about. I didn’t have any hunting experience, I didn’t even know how to use those hunting rifles and crossbows, so how would I be able to defeat Liu Xiaosheng?
But I knew a method that would definitely help me to defeat him.
….
“Is Mr. Chu going to use a crossbow?”
What I was holding was a short crossbow that Shu Tong had just picked for me. When Liu Xiaosheng saw it, he picked up a five-shot shotgun and said, “Then I will use the shotgun. In this way, it will be easy to distinguish who hunted that poor thing.”
Anyone would know that a shotgun was more powerful than a crossbow and had a longer range, but Liu Xiaosheng seemed to have forgotten a very important thing. I picked a crossbow because there was no pistol here, but the short crossbow was similar to a pistol.
I had injured Xu Heng with Dong Xiaoye’s pistol before, so I felt a kind of inexplicable confidence when using a short weapon. In addition, although there was a full moon in the sky, the view in the woods was definitely not clear, so what was the point of choosing a weapon with a long-range.
I had heard from Manager Tian say that this crossbow was still very lethal within 30 meters. In case the wolf suddenly jumped out from our side, the long weapon would not be as convenient as the short crossbow.
Blindly pursuing power was a manifestation of a strong sense of self-protection. It seemed that Liu Xiaosheng’s courage was average…
In terms of me, I was not much better. After hesitating, I also chose a sharp hatchet and kept it next to my waist. In a close-range fight, this hatchet would come in handy.
“Elder Brother, no matter how confident you are, it is very impolite to make a bet with other people using Elder Sister Cheng.” Chu Yuan pretended that she cared about Liusu, but actually, she was probably overjoyed inside.
“That’s right,” Shu Tong took a careful glance at her parents who were walking in front and whispered to me, “What if you lose, do you really want Liusu to accept that Zhang Mingjie’s dinner invitation?”
Dong Xiaoye suddenly became angry when she heard it, “If you dare to lose, I will definitely chop you into minced meat!”
“Are you serious?” I was dissatisfied, “I am the one who is going to hunt a wolf, okay? Do you see how nervous I am? My palms are full of sweat. But not only do you guys not encourage me, but you still want to give me additional pressure. Do you want me to win or not? Liusu didn’t say anything, so why are you all acting so anxiously…”
Actually, I really hope Liusu would say something. No matter what, my decision like this was unfair to her.
Liusu eventually spoke as well. She looked at me calmly and said softly: “Nan Nan, how confident are you?”
“Over one hundred percent.”
“Would you die if you stop bragging? !” Dong Xiaoye was annoyed, “Tell us honestly!”
I said with a serious face, “I’m telling the truth.”
Chu Yuan couldn’t help but curiously ask, “But Elder Brother, you have never hunted anything before, not even a sparrow. It would already be a miracle if the wolf didn’t bite you, how are you going to kill that wolf and bring it back?”
“Have some confidence in your elder brother, would you?” I flicked Chu Yuan’s forehead, staring at Liu Xiaosheng, who was walking before me, and said confidently, “Maybe I wouldn’t be able to kill a wolf, but Liu Xiaosheng would. However, Liu Xiaosheng will not be able to defeat me! So even if he killed the wolf first, it’s still useless. Once I defeat him and shoot a bolt into the wolf’s head, then… hehe.. the victory will be mine”
Dong Xiaoye was taken aback, “You…want to cheat?”
“I’m warning you, don’t slander me,” I rolled my eyes at Dong Xiaoye and said, “Anyway, he is asking for it. Since he wants to mess with me, then I will make him understand that I’m not someone he can mess with easily. Once I drag back the wolf first, even if he accuses me of playing dirty, I will just say that he is a sore loser. Since no one saw what happened, who do you think people would believe more?”
The girls around me couldn’t help but smile. Liusu also showed an expression as if she had expected that I would do something like this. She chuckled and said, “I knew you had ulterior motives when you agreed to his request.”
“It’s Liu Xiaosheng who has ulterior motives, alright.” Thinking that he was using Liusu as the prize, I couldn’t help but be furious, “Challenging me to this kind of competition, he is clearly trying to bully me. This is not a fair match from the beginning. Since I have no choice but to agree to his challenge and I can’t afford to lose… Liu Xiaosheng can only blame himself for failing to explain the rules. Since it is a competition, naturally, it is a competition between people. For me, the death of the wolf is the beginning of the competition.”
Dong Xiaoye murmured, “You can’t afford to lose…”
Everyone knew why I had to agree, and why I couldn’t afford to lose. After all, Liusu was my woman. How could I let someone take her away from me?
For Liusu, I didn’t mind being called despicable by other people.
Liusu blushed. It was noticed by Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan’s face became cold, and it was noticed by me.
“As I expected, you are really a bad guy. But don’t underestimate Liu Xiaosheng.” Shu Tong suddenly warned, “Liu Xiaosheng goes to a Taekwondo gym every weekend. I have seen him fight with three members at the same time. If he really doesn’t have any skills, do you think he would dare to hunt a wolf alone? ”
I couldn’t help but be shocked, it turned out that Liu Xiaosheng may not be a weak person! But I dared not show it on my face. ‘Damn it, I am too careless.’
I really didn’t expect this. Originally, I thought that he would be like Zhang Peiwen and Zhang Mingjie, but it turned out that I was completely wrong.
“Fight with three other members?” I pretended like it was nothing and said, “Who knows if it is a serious fight. Maybe they were just playing. Or maybe, those three members were not strong at all.”
“Not strong? Those three people have been learning Taekwondo for at least five years.”
Shu Tong didn’t believe it, but Dong Xiaoye couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Which Taekwondo gym are you talking about? Do you know its name?”
Shu Tong thought for a while and said, “It seems to be called Legendary Taekwondo. It’s said that the instructor there is a professional fighter. I’ve heard people say that he is super strong…”
“Oh, that fake Taekwondo gym,” Dong Xiaoye smiled disdainfully, “I also went there a few times. The instructor there even wanted to take advantage of me a few times, then I had a fight with him. He couldn’t even defeat me, so what can Liu Xiaosheng possibly learn from him? He and those three people have been scammed.”
“Officer Dong, how could you… but the instructor there is… Forget it…” Shu Tong hesitated for a few moments and eventually stopped explaining.
Dong Xiaoye rolled her eyes at me and smiled at Shu Tong, “Don’t worry, I had fought with Chu Nan before, and I lost to him in the fight.”
It was a fluke that I won, or it should be said that I was cheating… But after hearing what Dong Xiaoye said, I was quite relieved. Although I had never learned kungfu, I had rich actual fighting experience. Besides, this was not some kind of duel that had many rules to follow. I still believed that I would be able to defeat him.
Seeing Liusu sigh, I was even more determined to use despicable means to defeat Liu Xiaosheng and humiliate him in front of other people. I wanted to make sure that he would never go after Liusu again.
As we were approaching the main entrance of the hunting park, Zhang Mingjie secretly slowed down his steps so he could walk beside me.
“Mr. Chu, you have really put me in an awkward position this time,” He smiled bitterly, “No matter who won in the end, I would be the bad guy in the end.”
I was a little puzzled by Zhang Mingjie’s attitude. Since he knew that it was me who put him in an awkward position why didn’t he feel angry? So I couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Zhang, you are also a man, so you should understand why I did this, right?”
I didn’t hide my intention, which surprised Zhang Mingjie. After a moment of daze, he smiled, “Yes, I understand how you feel, Mr. Chu. In fact, if it were me, I would probably do something even worse. After all, if a man couldn’t even protect his girlfriend, then what kind of man is he?”
Zhang Mingjie’s attitude made me even more confused. Before I could ask him more questions, I saw him stare at Liu Xiaosheng vigilantly, lower his voice, and say seriously “Mr. Chu, you need to be extra careful. Normally, according to the rule of Moon Valley, before the wolves are put into the hunting area, their nails will be clipped, and most of their teeth will be pulled out to avoid causing death. But this time, they did not do that to that wolf…”
Earlier on, I was wondering why the Moon Valley Club was not scared of having any accidents. It turned out that this was the reason. Without sharp claws and teeth, wolves were even less dangerous than boars. Damn those rich people, there were clearly scared to death, but they still want to torture those animals to create this fake hunting activity.
However, at the moment I was more curious why Zhang Mingjie would want to tell me this?
Zhang Mingjie didn’t seem to want to take the initiative to answer. He smiled and asked, “Does Mr. Chu know why we are here today? It was Mr. Liu who invited us here today. The reason he gave Guo Xiang was that he wanted to apologize to our family on behalf of his younger sister and him, but in fact, the reason was that he wanted to teach Guo Xiang a lesson. He wanted him to stay away from his younger sister. And that wolf was prepared for him…”
Not only did the wolf still have nails and teeth, but they even starved it for two days… Did Liu Xiaosheng want to kill Guo Xiang? .
I pretended to be calm and said, “Why are you telling me this?”
Zhang Mingjie did not answer me directly, “There are things that I don’t need to explain clearly, but I believe Mr. Chu knows what I’m talking about… In the last two years, Mr. Mo has already shown the intention of wanting to step down. He wants to leave the seat of the chairman of FengChang Group to Miss Mo, but my father intends to take over. Originally, the cards in everyone’s hands were the same. My father’s advantage is in seniority and prestige. Although Miss Mo is backed by the chairman of the board, she is still a little inexperienced, but the words of the Third Lady out of thin air gave the Mo family an extra one card, a winning card.”
Zhang Mingjie stared at me when he said those words. I knew that the card he was referring to was me.
Mo Yizhi once said that what businessmen pursued was only the best benefit. The implication was that they didn’t care whether the methods were despicable or not.
Since that was the case, I would not give a damn about it either. Today I would not only humiliate Liu Xiaosheng, but I would also want to drive a wedge between him and Zhang Mingjie.
