Shadow Heir II: Dark Glory - Chapter 54

Li Qingchen had been the overseer of the Mu family for many years. As a master of the Jianghu, he had never in his life done something like smashing up a club.

The Mu family hadn’t even made their first step into the Capital yet, and engaging in direct conflict with the Bai family was, from any angle, not a wise choice.

However, Li Qingchen still resolutely executed the young miss’s seemingly irrational decision. He firmly believed there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

At three in the morning, the magnificent Tailong Club suffered unprecedented destruction and was reduced to a complete mess.

Bai Xuyang usually liked to work out at night. He was shirtless, sweating profusely as he punched a sandbag in his gym, when his pretty female secretary suddenly ran in. “Young Master, something happened! Our Tailong Club has been smashed!”

Bai Xuyang stopped punching and stared at the secretary’s face. “Are you joking with me?”

“It’s true. Dozens of people rushed in. Our security couldn’t handle them at all. The club’s interior was smashed in many places; the losses are nearly ten million!” the secretary said.

It wasn’t that Bai Xuyang couldn’t afford the money; this loss was far from crippling him. But Tailong Club was in the Capital! The Bai family was also in the Capital! To have someone come right to his doorstep and smash his place up—where was Young Master Bai supposed to put his face?

“It must have been Su Wuji!” Bai Xuyang said in a deep voice.

He wiped the sweat from his face and threw the towel viciously onto the floor. “That two-faced villain! I was too lenient with him! Even Wanxing was deceived by him!”

Now, Bai Xuyang deeply regretted not smashing the entire Empress Bar back then.

“Pack up, gather the men, we’re going to Linzhou now!” Bai Xuyang said, radiating murderous intent. “I’m going to kill that bastard!”

The female secretary seemed a little hesitant. “Young Master, don’t be impulsive… Should we tell Sister Wanxing about this first?” Having followed Bai Xuyang for so many years, she knew all too well how humble her boss was in front of Jiang Wanxing.

Bai Xuyang, who was in a fit of rage, actually hesitated upon hearing this!

After a brief hesitation, Bai Xuyang showed a rare moment of backbone. “Don’t tell Wanxing about this. This is between men; why should a woman get involved?”

However, immediately after, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, it was his good buddy Qin Guilin.

“Xuyang, what’s going on with your club in Sanlitun?” Qin Guilin’s voice carried a teasing tone. “Was it that little hooligan from Linzhou? Linzhou, then the Capital, you’ve been smashed twice in just one week. Even I find it unbearable.”

Bai Xuyang said coldly, “I’m going to Linzhou now. He’s dead.”

Qin Guilin asked, “Why didn’t you deal with that kid last time you went to Linzhou?”

“Don’t mention it. It was because I ran into Wanxing… Forget it, I’m not in the mood to talk.”

Having his old wounds reopened, Bai Xuyang felt depressed and stifled, and hung up the phone directly.

However, before he could even walk out of the gym, a call came from a Linzhou number. He looked at the number and answered immediately. Without waiting for the other side to speak, he gritted his teeth and said, “Are you Su Wuji?”

“Young Master Bai, I am Mu Qianyu from the Mu family in Linzhou,” Mu Qianyu’s voice came through.

“I’ve heard of you.” Bai Xuyang frowned deeply. “Why are you calling me at this time?”

“I arranged for the incident at Tailong Club,” Mu Qianyu said. “Young Master Bai should not blame Su Wuji.”

“It was you?”

Bai Xuyang raised his eyebrows and said viciously, “What are you trying to do? Calling at this time just to cover for that bastard?”

He had long heard that to stop Fang Jingyang’s marriage proposal, Mu Qianyu had used Su Wuji as a shield, so their relationship should be good. But why would the so-called number one beauty of Linzhou protect a little hooligan like this?

“Wuji is my friend. His Empress Bar was smashed by Young Master Bai, so I wanted to vent his anger for him. That’s all,” Mu Qianyu said calmly.

This unyielding tone made Bai Xuyang extremely unhappy. I fucking smashed his bar door, but I also paid a million in compensation, okay?!

Of course, Bai Xuyang wouldn’t bring up the compensation himself; that would be too humiliating. He said coldly, “You smashed my place and dare to call me to rub it in my face. Mu Qianyu, haven’t you thought about the consequences?”

“The consequence is offending Young Master Bai,” Mu Qianyu’s voice was calm. “But I am willing.”

Bai Xuyang gritted his teeth. “Good! Good! Good! From now on, the Mu family is my enemy! You’re in big trouble! I will make you regret today’s actions forever!”

Now, regardless of gender, people dared to ride on his neck and show off their power. This made Bai Xuyang feel like he was about to explode with rage. Growing up in the compound, when had Young Master Bai ever suffered such indignation?

“Mm, I’m waiting.”

Mu Qianyu’s voice remained calm. “However, I also want to use this incident to let Young Master Bai and your friends know that Su Wuji and Mu Qianyu of Linzhou are not to be manipulated by the Capital’s prominent families at will.”

With that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Bai Xuyang’s reply.

Perhaps this last sentence was another key purpose of Mu Qianyu’s action!

Bai Xuyang smashed his phone and then said to his secretary, “I want all the information on the Mu family now! Find a way to destroy them for me!”

Well, although Young Master Bai was ruthless and direct enough, he was definitely not a man of deep schemes. Although he threatened to destroy the Mu family, in his current state of blood rushing to his head, aside from smashing up the Mu family, he couldn’t think of any appropriate method for the moment.

The more it was like this, the more stifled Bai Xuyang felt.

An hour later, a young man walked into the gym. This was Bai Xuyang’s private place; very few people could enter directly without being announced.

This young man wore a shirt and jeans. The clothes looked ordinary but were actually new releases from a luxury brand not yet on the market, money couldn’t even buy them.

This was Qin Guilin. He grew up with Bai Xuyang, but unlike Bai Xuyang who later joined the army, he went to Australia to study for a few years.

“I asked around about that Su Wuji. He’s just a street hooligan who opened a small bar. Nothing to worry about,” Qin Guilin said.

He reeked of alcohol and had lipstick marks on his neck, clearly having just returned from a night of revelry.

Bai Xuyang remained silent.

After sitting down, Qin Guilin took out a cigarette and threw one to Bai Xuyang. “Being bitten by such a small character is indeed annoying, but don’t take it too much to heart. This kind of simple and crude guy only has brute courage. He will never be on the same level as us.”

Bai Xuyang lit the cigarette and smoked more than half of it sullenly before asking back, “Heh, what level are we?”

Qin Guilin said, “The starting point of our birth is already the finish line that this kind of hooligan can only look up to in his lifetime.”

In the past, the superior-feeling Bai Xuyang would definitely have agreed with this statement. But this time, he wasn’t so sure. Jiang Wanxing, who had a sharp eye, favored Su Wuji so much, and the renowned Mu Qianyu was willing to take risks for this young man. Did they really think these two women were fools?

“Xuyang, it’s not worth letting this guy affect your mood,” Qin Guilin said. “At worst, I’ll go to Linzhou with you again and make this guy kneel and apologize to you. How about that?”

“How to make him kneel and apologize?” Bai Xuyang asked. Since childhood, they had fought endlessly with other compounds. The losing side would kneel and slap themselves. Bai Xuyang and Qin Guilin had lost quite a few times growing up, and the adults at home couldn’t be bothered to manage these group fights.

Qin Guilin said, “I’ll bring Qin Lang.”

Bai Xuyang raised an eyebrow. “Qin Lang? He’s back?”

Qin Guilin chuckled. “Qin Lang used to be an elite of the Southeast Military Region Special Forces. After retiring, he trained on Cuisong Mountain for another three years. Looking at the entire Capital now, not more than ten people can beat him.”

“Possible, but not necessary.”

Bai Xuyang remembered the bodyguard Xiao Pang by Su Wuji’s side. The ability to crush the square floor tiles with one stomp was something many people probably couldn’t do.

He said, “Save Qin Lang for a critical moment. No need to take him this time.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Qin Guilin grinned. “Can’t we Capital young masters handle a little Linzhou bumpkin?”

Bai Xuyang shook his head. “However, the one who smashed Tailong Club this time wasn’t Su Wuji.”

“Who was it?” Qin Guilin was quite interested. His attitude clearly showed he didn’t take families outside the Capital seriously at all.

“Mu Qianyu.”

Bai Xuyang shook his head and repeated what Mu Qianyu had said on the phone.

“This girl has a reputation for beauty. It’s said she charmed Fang Jingyang so much he couldn’t walk straight. Why would she fall for a little hooligan? There must be a hidden story here,” Qin Guilin said.

Bai Xuyang said coldly, “What hidden story? Just a thief and a whore.”

Qin Guilin laughed loudly. “Anyway, daring to confront you, Young Master Bai, head-on makes this girl extremely interesting. How about when we go to Linzhou this time, we make that Mu Qianyu kneel and apologize in front of you too?”

Bai Xuyang thought about the Mu family information he had just read and then said, “Coincidentally, the opening ceremony of Linmu Bank is in two days.”

Qin Guilin slapped his thigh. “Good, we’ll pick that time! Let’s make her lose all face!”
