Chapter 47: Beating Sun Liwei to a Pulp

At this moment, the four of us were gathered around the coffee table. I was sitting opposite Sun Liwei, while Ling Xuan and Sister Yuan were facing each other.

After sitting down, Sun Liwei glared at me fiercely a few times, then leaned back pompously against the chair, extending his right hand with two fingers apart.

The bodyguard behind him immediately pulled out a cigar, placed it between his fingers, and lit it for him.

Sun Liwei took a slow, deep drag, and then blew the smoke across the coffee table toward my face. However, because of the distance, it didn't quite reach me.

After that, Sun Liwei turned back to Sister Yuan, chuckling, "Beauty, where do you work?"

Sister Yuan ignored him and looked at me, a hint of mischievous amusement in her eyes.

My expression remained calm as I leisurely sipped my tea. Earlier, Ling Xuan had told me not to act recklessly; she must have anticipated this situation!

Accustomed to such scenes, Sun Liwei showed no embarrassment. Striking a pose as if he were giving counsel to the world, he praised, "I just love beauties with personality! Not tacky at all! Full of substance! Simply wonderful!"

Ling Xuan said indifferently, "President Sun, just say what you have to say!"

Sun Liwei chuckled, turned back to Ling Xuan, looked her up and down, and said, "President Ling has let her hair down, making her look even more feminine than before! Haha, not bad."

I stared coldly at Sun Liwei, not in a rush to make a move. I wanted to see what business he had first, and deal with him after he finished talking!

Sun Liwei exhaled a puff of smoke and continued, "The purpose of my coming here today is to discuss the land plot at Baihegou with you. As I told you before, given Dongshan Group's current strength, even if you secure that land, you won't have enough capital to develop it. If anything goes wrong, it will just become an unfinished project. As an investor, I have the right to interfere in some of the company's affairs! I invested in you not to fund your headstrong pursuit of uncertain ventures. Furthermore, our original investment cooperation agreement states very clearly: for any project exceeding 1.5 billion, if we fail to reach a consensus, I have the right to completely withdraw my capital!"

So it was about this!

Now that I knew his objective, I stopped remaining silent and said indifferently, "Didn't you know that President Ling recently received another major investment?"

Sun Liwei glanced at me sideways with disdain, ignoring my remark. He took another deep drag of his cigar and said coolly, "President Ling, my ten-billion investment wasn't because I'm particularly optimistic about your company. First, it was out of respect for your father; second, it was because I took a fancy to you! I don't have many hobbies, I just love beauties! I won't pretend to be hypocritical. Take this beauty here," he pointed at Sister Yuan, "I liked her the moment I set eyes on her. As long as she's willing, throwing a few hundred thousand or a few million at her is nothing to me! Right? So the matter stands as it is: either you drop this project, or I will withdraw my full capital; otherwise, you know what will happen!"

"Fuck your mother!" Hearing these words, my long-suppressed anger finally erupted! With an angry roar, I suddenly leaped up from the sofa, vaulted directly over the coffee table, and slammed my foot heavily onto Sun Liwei's chest.

Bang!

Sun Liwei took the full force of the kick, flipping backward along with his armchair.

I didn't use my full strength with this kick because I didn't want to cripple him right away; I planned to beat him thoroughly.

"What do you think you're doing!" The bodyguard roared angrily, throwing a punch straight at my face.

"Get lost!" I shouted furiously, meeting his punch head-on with one of my own.

Crack, crack, crack!

I don't know how many bones shattered, but his arm was completely ruined. At the same time, he let out a miserable scream and was knocked backward. After hitting the ground, he struggled with a hideous expression on his face before passing out cold from the agony.

"Chu Bufan!" Ling Xuan cried out from behind.

I ignored her and immediately kicked Sun Liwei, who was struggling on the floor trying to get back up.

Bang, bang, bang!

I delivered seven or eight fierce kicks in succession, eliciting pig-like screams from Sun Liwei as he desperately curled up and tried to protect his head.

Ling Xuan ran over, grabbed my arm, and shouted loudly, "Enough! Stop hitting him!"

I stopped kicking Sun Liwei, grabbed him by the chin, and hoisted his fat body up with one hand. I slapped him across the face several times until blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, and shouted furiously, "Do you know you're not even worth a stray dog in front of me! Weren't you acting all arrogant just now? Didn't you want to withdraw your investment? If you don't withdraw it right now, don't even think about walking out of this office!"

By this time, Sun Liwei was completely dazed, his eyes unfocused, unable to utter a word.

"Chu Bufan! Stop hitting him!" Ling Xuan was crying in panic, patting my arm to make me let go.

Once I finished thrashing Sun Liwei, my anger had vented. I dropped him onto the floor, let out a breath, pulled Ling Xuan into my embrace, and said, "Big sis, don't blame me! I can tolerate other things, but if anyone dares to insult you, I will never let it slide, even if the Jade Emperor himself descends!"

"Chu Bufan, you're going to be the death of me!" Ling Xuan sobbed, beating her fists against my chest in frustration.

I quickly hugged her tighter.

Turning my gaze toward Sister Yuan, I saw her eyes sparkling, a calm and composed smile resting on her lips. As for Huang Xiaohui, she had long been frightened into a daze, standing aside completely at a loss.

Seeing me look over, Sister Yuan gave me an appreciative and reassuring smile. She walked over, gently patted Ling Xuan's shoulder, and comforted, "President Ling, don't worry!"

Startled back to her senses, Ling Xuan hurriedly broke free from my embrace, cast an awkward glance at Sister Yuan, and lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

Sister Yuan smiled gently, "Chu Fan did the right thing. For this dead fat man to insult us like this, I'd be furious even without getting a lesson taught to him!"

"President Han, you..." Ling Xuan paused, looking up in surprise at Sister Yuan.

Sister Yuan returned a calm and confident smile.

By now, Sun Liwei had regained a sliver of strength. He struggled to sit up, looking at us with a dazed and terrified expression.

Sister Yuan slowly walked over to Sun Liwei, gave him a couple of firm kicks, and said coldly, "I am Han Jingyuan, the person in charge of Emperor Club. How dare you speak insolently to me—you're simply courting death! If we were outside, you would have been crippled long ago."

The words "Emperor Club" jolted Sun Liwei awake. He raised his head, staring at Sister Yuan in sheer terror.

Sister Yuan continued, "As for the matter of capital withdrawal... Chu Fan, do you want him to withdraw?"

Deeply moved by Sister Yuan's staunch support, I smiled and said, "He must withdraw. But Sister Yuan, would you be interested in making an investment?"

Sister Yuan's eyes lit up. "An investment? Sounds good! Since he's pulling out a billion, how about I invest a billion instead? President Ling, would you consider that too little?"

Ling Xuan was completely bewildered, stuttering, "President Han, you... you want to invest?"

Sister Yuan smiled, "I helped you chase away a billion, so I have to make up for it somehow! I just don't know if President Ling wants it or not."

Ling Xuan quickly said, "If President Han is willing to invest, we would welcome it with open arms."

"Then it's settled!" Sister Yuan smiled slightly, then turned her gaze back to Sun Liwei, speaking coldly, "Did you bring your driver?"

Sun Liwei nodded in terror.

I immediately caught her meaning, took out my phone, and called Liu An, telling him to bring three security guards upstairs.

Sister Yuan continued to threaten Sun Liwei, "Go back and rest up well. In a few days, we'll notify you to come handle the paperwork. Also, some of our people will be visiting your place later to teach you how to behave! If you mess with us, you'd better swallow your anger and bear it, otherwise the consequences are more than you can handle."

Sun Liwei had long since lost all his bravado. He nodded in frantic fear, unable to squeeze out a single word.

Before long, Liu An came up with three security guards, and I instructed them to drag Sun Liwei away and throw him into his own car.

Ling Xuan let out a long breath, sat back down on the sofa, and asked with lingering worry, "Will hitting him like this really not cause any trouble?"

I lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and smiled, "Big sis, you just need to trust Sister Yuan's capability!"

Ling Xuan glared at me fiercely and said, "We're not done talking about this yet."

My heart skipped a beat. Was the big sis about to lecture me after all?

Sister Yuan smiled, "Don't worry. I'll handle this matter properly. Besides, from now on, I'm a shareholder too. Leave trivial matters that are hard to resolve through legal means to me! President Ling, just focus on being the chairman, and don't blame Chu Fan; he only did it for your own good."

I was deeply moved. Sister Yuan was speaking up for me!

Ling Xuan paused and glanced at me. Although a trace of resentment lingered, her eyes now held a hint of tenderness as well.

After chatting for a little while, Sister Yuan took her leave, saying she needed to go take care of this matter first.

As soon as Sister Yuan left, Ling Xuan immediately turned to Huang Xiaohui. "Xiaohui, step outside for a moment."

The moment Huang Xiaohui walked out, Ling Xuan glared straight at me.
