Shadow Heir II: Dark Glory - Chapter 48

Li Yaoshuo’s behavior had long incited public anger at Cihui Hospital. Thus, upon witnessing Su Wuji’s actions, the medical staff all secretly applauded. But they also broke a sweat for Su Wuji. After all… in front of the powerful Director Li Zunyang, no one truly had high hopes for this young man.

Twenty minutes later, a Rolls-Royce Ghost drove straight to the entrance of the outpatient building, followed by three commercial vans. The doors opened, and a dozen men in black suits jumped out. Holding batons, they all looked fierce and were clearly thugs.

Then, from the back seat of the Ghost, a man in a floral shirt stepped out. He was tall and sturdy, with greying hair in a buzz cut and a face full of fleshy menace. The color of his shirt, along with the thick gold chain around his neck, somewhat exposed his inherent temperament.

This was none other than Director Li Zunyang.

As he walked into the hospital, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing tattoos of a green dragon on his left arm and a white tiger on his right.

Upon learning that his son had been beaten, Li Zunyang had no intention of calling the police to solve the problem! Over the years, he had become far too adept at using violent means to bulldoze through obstacles!

Walking in and seeing his son lying on the ground with a bloodied face, Li Zunyang’s brow twitched violently. He couldn’t remember how long it had been since someone dared to provoke him to his face; blood rushed to his head instantly.

Li Zunyang stared at the young man, whose face was full of frivolity, and said in a deep voice, “Beating my son like this, do you know that this is Ninghai?”

“I know better than you that this is Ninghai.”

Su Wuji’s words seemed to carry a deeper meaning, but Li Zunyang clearly didn’t catch it.

He growled low, “Release my son, let me chop off one of your fingers and break one of your legs, and we’ll consider this matter settled for today.”

Su Wuji stepped on the back of Li Yaoshuo’s head, smiled, and pointed at Xu Jiayan beside him. “Apologize to my friend, guarantee that you father and son won’t provoke anyone here again, and withdraw your shares in Cihui Hospital, and I’ll let him go.”

Looking at Xu Jiayan, amazement flooded Li Zunyang’s eyes. The allure of this woman was too strong; in that moment, Li Zunyang even felt the urge to fight his son for her.

He quickly snapped back to reality. Being threatened to his face by a young man, Li Zunyang felt both anger and absurdity. “Withdraw shares? What kind of joke are you cracking? Get him! Grab Yaoshuo back, and then kill this guy!”

With a wave of his hand, the thugs with batons prepared to lunge at Su Wuji.

“Fine, let’s see who dies first.”

Su Wuji pulled the chair out from under him and swung it hard! The chair smashed heavily into Li Yaoshuo’s chest! The latter, who had fainted, was jolted awake by the impact and spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot!

The thugs almost all stopped in their tracks, standing there somewhat dazed. In Ninghai, someone was actually competing with them in ruthlessness!

The flesh on Li Zunyang’s face twitched!

“If anyone dares to come closer, I’ll keep smashing,” Su Wuji said with a smile. “I’d like to see how many hits this Young Master Li can take.”

“You motherf…”

One thug didn’t believe in evil and took another step forward.

Bang!

Li Yaoshuo took another solid hit, and the wooden chair shattered!

Su Wuji picked up a chair leg, weighed it in his hand, and sneered, “Who else wants to try?”

Then, he casually threw it. The chair leg smashed directly into the face of the thug who had just stepped forward! His nose bridge broke instantly, and with a scream, he squatted down clutching his nose, blood rushing out, tears and snot covering his face!

Xu Jiayan stood aside, beaming with joy, her charm overflowing. “So handsome I could die.”

Seeing this, Li Zunyang was extremely agitated. He had tyrannized others for so many years; when had anyone ever pushed him around like this? Yet his son was in the opponent’s hands! He had to let them do as they pleased!

Looking at the shrinking thugs, Li Zunyang took a deep drag on his cigarette and said to the person beside him, “I really raised a bunch of useless trash! When will Kong Shilei arrive?”

“Boss, Brother Lei said he’ll be here in ten minutes.”

Hearing this, Li Zunyang looked at Su Wuji. “Kid, what’s your name?”

“Su Wuji,” Su Wuji said. “What, want to check my household registration?”

“If I know your name, I can find out who your parents are.” Li Zunyang’s expression was grim. “Kid, release my son and pay for the medical expenses, and I can pretend today’s events never happened.”

It wasn’t that Li Zunyang couldn’t order his thugs to swarm and snatch the person, but he really didn’t want to see his son beaten anymore. If this reckless kid hit Li Yaoshuo on the head with a stick next, it could be fatal! Better to coax this guy into releasing his son first!

Su Wuji said with a smile, “Director Li, have you ever thought that if you can check my household registration, I can also find out your parents’ names, and even where your family’s ancestral graves are?”

Hearing this, Li Zunyang’s expression turned furious! He threw his cigarette butt hard on the ground and roared with a ferocious expression, “Kid, are you threatening me?”

“Threatening?” Su Wuji spread his hands. “Hardly, hardly.”

However, he added, “Low-level trash like you and your son aren’t worthy of being threatened by me.”

Li Zunyang felt like he was about to explode with rage.

“How much do you want?” He suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice. With his son in the other’s hands, Li Zunyang had no good options but to stall for time, once Kong Shilei arrived, everything would be simple.

That man was a former ever-victorious general in the Linzhou underground boxing scene. It was said that in eight years of black boxing, he had lost only once. Later, Kong Shilei was hired by Li Zunyang at a high price to come to Ninghai. Over the years, he had secretly and openly solved many troubles for Li Zunyang, making the latter’s position in Ninghai’s gray area increasingly stable.

“I don’t want money.” Su Wuji smiled slightly. “After all, I haven’t received Director Li’s apology yet. You just threatened me with my parents, which makes me even more afraid to release him.”

Saying this, he picked up a chair leg and smashed it hard on Li Yaoshuo’s shoulder. The sound of cracking bone reached everyone’s ears! Li Yaoshuo didn’t even have the strength to scream anymore, only letting out a confused moan of pain.

Li Zunyang’s cheeks trembled violently, his gaze growing darker, but he didn’t say another word.

At this moment, a Toyota Prado drove up outside. The door opened, and a man in a blue suit jumped out. He had a buzz cut, was about 1.85 meters tall, and his muscles stretched his suit tight; his entire physique was clearly a size larger than Su Wuji’s.

This was Kong Shilei.

“Boss, I’m here,” he said.

Kong Shilei’s voice was very deep, and his gaze even gloomier; a single glance from him would make a person feel cold all over.

“Yaoshuo is in his hands.” Li Zunyang pointed at Su Wuji and said in a deep voice, “Leave him half alive, then hand him to me. I want to torture him slowly.”

With Kong Shilei’s appearance, his confidence clearly grew significantly.

But for some reason, Li Zunyang, who had mingled in the gray area for many years, felt he couldn’t quite see through the young man opposite him. If the other party was just a reckless kid, how could he have survived until now with such an arrogant way of doing things?

When Li Zunyang was young, he was just a driver for a certain unit directly under the Ninghai municipal government. He drove for a certain person for ten years. His ability to grow bigger and bigger was partly due to his own ability, but the main reason was related to the person who used to sit in the back seat of his car. A large portion of his shares in Cihui Hospital were actually held on behalf of that person.

So, Su Wuji’s initial demand to withdraw shares gave Li Zunyang a strange thought. Could it be that someone is using this young man to test the big shot behind me?

Seeing Kong Shilei still standing motionless, Li Zunyang urged, “Hurry up and act; I want to interrogate him later.”

However, it was as if Kong Shilei hadn’t heard!

Li Zunyang was shocked to find that his capable subordinate seemed to be frozen by a spell, his body stiff, and a large patch of his back already soaked with sweat!
