Yang Ting screamed hysterically.

She wanted to cry out to Du Qing for help, but his fate was even more miserable than hers. Not only was his face bruised and swollen, but one of his arms was also bent at a sickening ninety-degree angle.

This was what it meant for your desperate cries to fall on deaf ears. This was the definition of digging your own grave, of lifting a stone only to drop it on your own feet.

Afterward, both Du Qing and Yang Ting were dragged out. As for where they were taken or what their ultimate fate would be, Chen Yang couldn't have cared less.

Soon, the dress Zhang Xiaowen had taken a liking to was delivered.

Looking at the dress presented to her, Zhang Xiaowen blushed, torn between accepting it or not. She liked this dress, that was true, but did this count as a gift from Chen Yang?

Suddenly, Su Ding's phone rang.

"Brother, I need to take a call," Su Ding said to Chen Yang before taking out his phone and stepping aside. Seeing the caller was Guo Xingxing, he raised an eyebrow, searching his memory. Didn't I meet him at a dinner party once?

Not dwelling on it, he answered. After listening to the caller's request, a strange expression crossed his face. He snuck a glance at Chen Yang and said into the phone, "I'm at the Sizhe Boutique on the third floor. Get over here right now!"

「Somewhere on the first floor.」

Guo Xingxing raised his fist and laughed excitedly. "Mr. Su actually asked me to meet him? Haha! It seems I left quite an impression on him at the dinner party last time!"

That was Su Ding, Mr. Su himself. For an ordinary person, getting an audience with him was harder than ascending to the heavens! He had expected to be brushed off with a few perfunctory words at most. He never imagined he'd receive such an unexpected windfall. As long as I can build a relationship with Mr. Su, won't the money come rolling in?

Filled with elation, Guo Xingxing rushed nonstop to the third floor.

When he reached the entrance of the Sizhe Boutique, Guo Xingxing took a couple of deep breaths to calm his racing thoughts. Then, he strode inside, heading straight for Su Ding. He had no time or desire to look at anyone else.

"Mr. Su, thank you for agreeing to see me!" After expressing his gratitude, Guo Xingxing got straight to the point. "That bastard Chen Yang has pushed me too far! I've brought men and followed him here. There might be some bloodshed on your territory shortly! But don't you worry. I'll make sure everything is cleaned up afterward so it won't cause you any major problems!"

Finally, Guo Xingxing patted his chest and made a solemn promise.

The moment he spoke, Su Ding wasn't the only one left stunned; everyone around was completely dumbfounded.

Is this guy some kind of mix between a blind man and a moron? Chen Yang is standing right there behind Su Ding. How can he not see him?

One by one, they struggled to suppress their laughter and stared at Guo Xingxing with great anticipation.

Who was Chen Yang? He was someone that even the great Mr. Su had to call 'Brother.' And this insignificant nobody dared to cause him trouble? Heh... To say he was courting death was an understatement.

Chen Yang rubbed his nose, feeling helpless. This guy's vengeful streak is pretty strong. He actually followed me all the way here and wants to cause a bloodbath?

With a wry smile, Su Ding asked, "Do you have any idea who Chen Yang is?"

"Isn't he just a worthless freeloader who married into his wife's family? So what if he was a Martial Guard with some decent skills? The men I brought today are no pushovers! For a guy like him, even looking in his direction is an act of charity!" Guo Xingxing snarled, gritting his teeth.

The humiliation he suffered yesterday had given him nightmares all night. He swore he wouldn't be able to live with himself until he got his revenge!

Su Ding's eyelid twitched. It was clear the man before him had absolutely no idea what Chen Yang was truly capable of. He couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for him.

Su Ding said no more. He stepped to the side, gesturing toward Chen Yang. "Brother, this man says he's looking for you."

"Chen, Chen Yang?!" Guo Xingxing's eyes instantly bulged, as if he had seen a ghost.

That one word, "Brother," from Su Ding's lips, was a gut-wrenching blow that burned through him.

This... this can't be happening, can it? Did I get the wrong script?

Chen Yang grinned. "Sales Champion, you were looking for me?"

Guo Xingxing: "..."

"I heard you brought some people to start a bloodbath. Looking for revenge on me?"

Guo Xingxing: "..."

"Well? Aren't you going to call your men out?"

Guo Xingxing: "..."

Chen Yang walked up to him and patted his shoulder. "I told you your magnanimity doesn't even fill the tip of your pinky. A bet's a bet; you have to know when you've lost. Why resort to such dirty tricks for revenge?"

"I... I..." Guo Xingxing's face flushed crimson. He wished the ground would open up and swallow him whole. Why did he always run into ghosts in broad daylight?

Chen Yang grinned. "So, what's the plan now?"

Guo Xingxing ground his teeth in anger, not daring to utter a sound.

Ask me what to do? If I told you to just let me go, would you fucking agree? Guo Xingxing silently cursed Chen Yang's entire family eighteen generations back. What a con artist! He tricked me once, and now he's doing it again!

He had absolutely no self-awareness about his own mistakes.

SLAP!

Su Ding's hand flew out, striking Guo Xingxing across the face. The man staggered back two steps before collapsing onto the ground, his vision swimming and head spinning.

"My brother asked you a question. Are you deaf, or are you just pretending not to hear?" Su Ding snarled, kicking the man while he was down. His gaze was bone-chilling.

Terror seized Guo Xingxing. Shaking uncontrollably, he scrambled back up and began to kowtow. "I... I apologize! I'll never dare to again!"

SLAP!

Su Ding slapped him again. "You think you're getting a 'next time'?"

Guo Xingxing crumpled to the floor again, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Enough," Chen Yang said, raising a hand to stop him. "We are colleagues from the same department, after all. Don't you think you're going a bit overboard by constantly slapping him?"

Su Ding obediently retreated, his face a mask of appeasement. "Brother, your reprimand is justified."

「Meanwhile.」

The dozen or so men Guo Xingxing had brought with him finally located the group after searching all over the massive mall.

Seeing Chen Yang, they initially sneered, but their expressions froze when they realized something was amiss.

Isn't that Brother Xing? H-how did he end up beaten like that? This... They were all left speechless.

But they weren't idiots. They turned to run. We've clearly picked a fight with the wrong person! Why stick around and wait for a beating?

"Think you can run?" Su Ding commanded with a wave of his hand. "Cripple them! Don't let a single one get away!"

Guo Xingxing, who had just been recovering his senses, collapsed back onto the ground. Hearing those words, his soul practically fled his body in terror.

He had never, in his wildest dreams, imagined this outcome.

Chen Yang walked over and patted his cheek. "This matter ends here. Starting tomorrow, get back to your sales work. Strive for even better results."

This man was a skilled salesman who brought in significant revenue for the company each year. Now that the lesson had been taught, it was time for him to get back to work.

Guo Xingxing nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at grain.

Chen Yang only took one suit. "We're leaving. Thanks for the gifts," he said, giving Su Ding a wave before striding away.

Only after Chen Yang and Guo Xingxing had disappeared from view did Su Ding wipe the cold sweat from his brow, his expression growing dark and cold.

Am I supposed to let him shit all over me for the rest of my life? Su Ding gritted his teeth. I refuse to accept this! There has to be a permanent solution!

As he thought about Chen Yang's status as a Martial Guard, a flash of inspiration struck him.
