As soon as the car drove into the village, Song Guanchao's phone rang once more.

He thought it might be his grandma again, feeling a bit puzzled inside.

Who is this Lu Shaqing?

Why isn't he staying home during the New Year and instead searching for me?

When he checked his phone, it wasn't his grandma, but rather Liu Yuanchao.

"Hello, Uncle Liu."

Though his grandson and Li He had previously offended Song Guanchao at a charity event,

things had been resolved, and Song Guanchao didn't dwell on it.

Moreover, despite his grandson being a playboy, Liu Yuanchao himself was a staunch soldier and had been in the same unit as Song Guanchao's father.

Song Guanchao had much respect for the elder.

"Guanchao, where is your home?"

"My home?" Song Guanchao was a bit confused, then quickly understood: "Why? Did you come to Lingjiang, old man?"

"Yes, I came to visit your father's grave and also to see you." Liu Yuanchao's tone was a bit sighed.

Song Guanchao immediately gave him the address.

No sooner had he hung up than his phone rang again.

This time it was an unfamiliar number, also from Yanjing.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, is this Song Guanchao?"

"Yes, it's me."

"I'm Tang Xiaomi. My grandpa asked my brother and me to come over to wish you a Happy New Year."

Song Guanchao asked, "Who is your grandpa?"

"My grandpa's name is Tang Zhengguo."

Song Guanchao suddenly realized it was Minister Tang from the Ministry of Public Security.

He sent over his home address and hung up the phone.

As soon as he hung up, it rang again.

These calls seemed to be coming all at once.

Upon checking, it turned out to be Tao Lianguang, the general manager of the Magic City Railway Bureau Market Investment Department, also calling to send New Year's greetings.

After that call, it was Cai Zixiang from the Gu Family calling.

"Guanchao, I'm heading to the Nanjiang Provincial City tomorrow. Where are you staying? I'll come to wish you a Happy New Year."

"No, my place is quite far from the city; don't bother coming."

"Passing by anyway, how can I not see you? Mr. Gu instructed me to definitely meet you."

Song Guanchao felt a bit stressed as he was making someone come all this way for him.

He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Cai, just wait for me in the Provincial City. It's my grandma's birthday tomorrow, and I'll book a restaurant there. You can come by and have a meal."

"Oh? Your grandma's birthday?"

Cai Zixiang asked, "Haven't booked a restaurant yet?"

"I'll book it online in a moment."

"No need to bother, I'll book it for you and send you the address."

Song Guanchao wanted to decline, but Cai Zixiang went ahead and booked it before hanging up the phone.

He waited a bit longer to ensure there were no more calls, then resumed driving.

When he saw a Maybach in front of his house, he was a bit surprised.

This Lu Shaqing fellow must be quite wealthy.

Wow, it's top of the line, costing around five or six million on the road.

He parked the car and walked towards the house.

However, when he saw these three people, he keenly noticed their expressions weren't pleasant.

Grandma stood up and introduced, "Young man, let me introduce you. This is my grandson, Song Guanchao..."

"Did I ask you to speak?" Lu Shaqing interrupted coldly, casting a sweeping glance at Grandma.

Hearing this, Song Guanchao was stunned for two seconds.

He looked at him a bit incredulously and asked, "What did you just say to my grandma?"

Knowing her grandson's temper, Grandma tugged his arm and said, "Sit down. They came from far away to see you, talk properly."

Song Guanchao patted Grandma's hand and said seriously, "Discussion is fine, but disrespect is not. Grandma, you sit down; don't worry about this."

Mr. Chi nodded appreciatively: "This grandson, not bad."

Grandpa glared at him: "Why do you talk like you're scolding people?"

Grandma didn't say much more; her grandson had grown up and had his own ideas, and she indeed shouldn't intervene too much.

So she sat down.

Lu Shaqing suddenly chuckled: "Respect?"

He slowly stood up, looking at Song Guanchao eye to eye: "Respect only applies when levels are equal. Does a struggling bottom-feeder like you deserve respect?"

"Haha, it seems my words hurt your little self-esteem. Only a bottom-feeder cockroach like you would care about this laughable pride."

Is there something wrong with this guy's head?

He still didn't know why this person came looking for him.

And he didn't know him at all.

It was so baffling.

"I won't ask what you want with me yet."

Song Guanchao said, "It's New Year's, I don't want any bloodshed. Apologize to my grandma, and then let's talk."

Lu Shaqing shook his head disdainfully: "Pathetic."

"Is it this kind of man that Qu Xiangru chose? Her vision is pretty bad."

Qu Xiangru?

Song Guanchao suddenly understood.

He suddenly remembered Qu Xiangru saying she was supposed to have a blind date with the Lu family.

The person in front of him was surnamed Lu.

That makes sense now.

It seemed Qu Xiangru didn't go to the blind date, so the match came straight to find him.

With a deep and brooding look paired with his handsome face, Lu Shaqing did seem to have a few haughty airs of a domineering CEO.

He lit a cigarette, his hand casually in his pocket, and his slightly lazy eyes half-opened as he gently took a drag and said with slightly parted thin lips, "With my status, if I do something to you, word might get out that I bully the weak."

"But what you did crossed my line."

He turned his head and glanced at Song Guanchao's car outside.

He hadn't seen Qu Xiangru and guessed she might be in the car.

Looking down at his shoes, dirtied with a bit of mud and snow, he said, "Lick these shoes clean, and you might avoid a beating."

Song Guanchao ignored him and slowly raised three fingers.

"I'm giving you three seconds to apologize to my grandma."

"Interesting."

Lu Shaqing smiled playfully: "What if I don't apologize?"

Song Guanchao said, "Don't apologize, and you'll be spending this New Year in the ICU."

"1!"

"Haha, gutsy." Lu Shaqing ignored his countdown: "Got some temper too, but a bottom-feeder like you can only throw powerless fits."

"2!"

Lu Shaqing still had one hand in his pocket but suddenly looked toward the Maybach by the gate: "Do you recognize this car? With your capabilities, even if you worked for three generations, you might not afford it. I can give you an opportunity."

He pointed to Grandma with his hand holding the cigarette: "Have your grandma and you kneel down and lick the shoes clean, and this car will be yours."

"3!"

The countdown ended.

"Smack!"

A powerful, swift slap landed on Lu Shaqing's handsome face.

Lu Shaqing hadn't expected Song Guanchao to have the guts to make a move.

Lu Yuan and his wife were equally taken aback.

The slap was heavy!

Lu Shaqing was directly smacked to the ground.

The custom-made wool coat he wore intimately met the cement ground, and half his face was scraped against it.

He felt as if his head had been rolled over by a train, roaring with intense dizziness, his pupils dilating slightly, unfocused for a moment.

He was stunned by the blow.

"You bastard!" Lu Yuan angrily stood up, ready to make a move.

Song Guanchao's fierce gaze swept across.

In that instant, Lu Yuan felt as if a wild beast locked its eyes on him, a chill creeping over his body, his rage instantly dissipating.

Song Guanchao said coldly, "Sit down."

Swallowing tightly, Lu Yuan obediently sat back down.

Yang Hui was about to stand when Song Guanchao cast a glance her way.

That look gave Yang Hui an impression.

As if, if she didn't comply, this young man would crush her the next moment!

The aura Song Guanchao exuded instantly made these two elites, accustomed to mingling in high society, feel a chill throughout their bodies.

Even though their son was smacked to the ground, they dared not entertain any thoughts of defiance.

"You dare hit me?"

Lu Yuan finally came to his senses.

He lay on his side on the ground, looking up at Song Guanchao, losing his composure as he screamed, "You dare hit me!"

"I'll kill you, I will kill you!"

He had already called the security team leader at his company.

They'd be there soon, very soon!

He definitely had to deal with this bastard!
