Chapter 650: This Is Falling Into A Pit, Right?
“So, you’re saying that I’m despised by both humans and dogs?” asked Li Xiaofei. His forehead was lined with frustration.
“Not entirely correct.” Old Chen corrected him with a serious expression, “The part about the dogs is true, they do despise you. But humans don’t just dislike you. Some people don’t merely find you annoying; they genuinely want you dead.”
“Damn, did I steal their rice or something?” Li Xiaofei said indignantly.
“You harassed, seduced, and tempted their wives, fiancées, and daughters,” Old Chen stated firmly. “According to incomplete statistics, you didn’t just harass Si Kongxue. You also flirted with Song Yichen, the daughter of the president of Lingluo Merchant Guild, which is one of the four major merchant guilds. You got involved with Zhou Yuyu, the fiancée of the young master of Yuelai Merchant Guild. You even stalked Luo Yongna, the daughter of Speaker Luo Yi. And if that wasn’t enough, you openly expressed your admiration for Qian Duoduo, the only daughter of High Chancellor Qian Kun, multiple times online. As for the daughters of other councilors, wealthy tycoons, and even popular courtesans, female warriors, and goddesses—your list of targets was practically endless.”
Li Xiaofei was utterly dumbfounded.
Damn! This character setting is downright twisted. It isn’t just sleazy. It is outright suicidal.
Old Chen, clearly enjoying the moment, gloated, “The families, friends, supporters, and fans of these women have already made multiple declarations to eliminate you and rid Chongque City of this scourge.”
Li Xiaofei thought for a moment before asking, “Then why am I still alive?”
Old Chen patted his chest confidently and said, “Because you have me, your dear cousin. As the Hall Master of the Red Shield Hall under the Exploding Star Gang, one of Chongque City’s five major factions, I still carry some weight. I’ve covered for you more times than I can count.”
“Wait a minute.” Li Xiaofei was puzzled as he asked, “Aren’t you working as the head manager at the Shenyin Pavilion? How did you suddenly become a Hall Master of the Exploding Star Gang?”
“You just don’t get it.” Old Chen chuckled as he explained, “The Shenyin Pavilion is one of the city’s top three pleasure houses, with countless stunning beauties. Naturally, they need protection. This industry has become fiercely competitive, and if the Pavilion wants to run its business smoothly, it has to hire top-tier bodyguards. However, keeping in-house experts is too expensive, so they opted for external security services. Our Exploding Star Gang fought hard and won the contract. The gang leader assigned me to oversee security at the Pavilion. Isn’t that perfectly logical?”
