Female Novel
Chapter 19
Sun Mingxuan went weak in the knees and fell to the ground in an instant, his face pale and his teethchattering.
“C-Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas, M-Ma… Sanyuan…?”
He had almost burst into tears; how could what he just spat out of his mouth have possibly come truethe very next second, like a jinx!
He just boasted about his sports car at the banquet this morning but Chu Feng had just shoved apresidential state car worth twenty million in his face; now he wanted to take advantage of his uncle toshow off, but he completely did not expect Ma Sanyuan himself to actually show up at the door! In theend, he did not get to show off anymore. novelbin
“Mingxuan, w-what happened to you?” Zhou Ying looked anxious and her face went pale as shequickly helped Sun Mingxuan up onto a chair.
A Chinese smoking pipe was hanging from Zhou Lie’s mouth as he teased, “What is this? Weren’t youso boastful and intimidating just a few moments ago? You were ranting about wanting Ma Sanyuan toreturn the title deeds and to kowtow and apologize to you, weren’t you? Now that he is at your frontdoor President Sun, don’t just stand there. Go on, show off your superiority. You can take it out on himon my behalf and show me how good you are with it.”
“No, no. I-I’m not feeling well. Ouch, my stomach hurts-” Sun Mingxuan’s expression immediatelychanged as he gave a groan and held his stomach. In the blink of an eye, he quickly rushed into aroom and locked the door behind him.
It would spell a certain death for him if he really ordered Ma Sanyuan to kowtow and apologize; MaSanyuan was a notoriously evil person in Jiangling and he had thousands of goons under hiscommand. He was a merciless person who had committed numerous crimes, and it was rumored thathe was responsible for the lives of more than ten people.
How could Sun Mingxuan possibly gamble his life with him? At this critical juncture, only the witty oneswould be able to hold on to their lives, so it was a smart move for him to sneak away while he still hadthe chance.
“Sun Mingxuan, a-are you still a man, you coward!” Zhou Ying was furious and embarrassed, stompingher feet in anger.
Zhou Lie clapped his hands and exhaled sharply. “I have seen those shameful manners of his since thestart, things would have gone from bad to worse if we were to rely on him.”
“T-then what should we do?” Liu Minglan was becoming anxious and she was panicking. “MaSanyuan’s feud with us is too deep, and we have been bullied by the Chamber of Commerce of theFour Seas for all these years. It’s obvious that he is calling at this hour to make a big fuss over it andseek his revenge. How can we fight against that tyrant? Quick, Yingying, call Feng and ask yourbrother to come over immediately…” It seemed like Li Minglan had unconsciously made Chu Feng asthe person to rely on.
“That’s enough, Feng mustn’t get involved in this. Don’t you think the situation is already messyenough?” Zhou Lie was upset and he banged his smoking pipe onto the table. “I will handle whatevertricks he has up his sleeves. I don’t believe Ma Sanyuan has the guts to actually kill me!”
The moment Zhou Lie finished talking, he went to the kitchen furiously to grab a hatchet, then he went
outside, about to fight with Ma Sanyuan. Zhou Lie, who had retired from the army, had a fierypersonality and since Ma Sanyuan and his gang of people had been terrorizing them for some time,having even come all the way to his front door to look for trouble, he simply couldn’t stand it anymore.
Although Liu Minglan and Zhou Ying were terrified, they knew they were in a critical moment, so theypulled themselves together and followed Zhou Lie from behind bravely.
The main door opened with a creak and as expected, there was a huge, black patch of men dressed inblack outside the door; there were seven or eight cars and a total of fifty to sixty men.
Zhou Ying immediately became scared as her face turned pale and she quickly hid behind Zhou Lie.
“Where is Ma Sanyuan? Come out!” Zhou Lie had a serious look on his face as he yelled out.
Ma Sanyuan stepped out from the crowd and he seemed cheerful. “Finally, you’re willing to meet me,Mr. Zhou—”
Zhou Lie was taken aback slightly; even though Ma Sanyuan was still in his stylish-looking suit andleather shoes, his face was swollen and he looked disheveled, his right hand was in a cast, hangingfrom his neck.
“What the heck are you doing, Ma Sanyuan?” Zhou Lie exhaled sharply. Although he did not know whatMa Sanyuan and his goons were up to, he was the owner of the land and he could not back down atthis moment. He held the hatchet in his hands and said courageously, “No matter what your vengeanceyou seek, come at me. Don’t bring my wife and kids into this.”
