Chapter 519 I Will Give Myself to You, Okay? (1)

“Bandage?” Zhong Lue sneered. “You’d better call an ambulance!”

Zhong Lue rushed toward them with the knife again, aiming to strike a fatal blow at Shen Yuechuan before Xiao Yunyun could notice it—

Shen Yuechuan had been used to fighting and brawling since his early youth. He had also been inured to open fights between factions, since he had worked for Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue.

The last time he had gotten injured in a fight was more than a decade ago—his opponent was Mu Sijue back then.

In his eyes, Zhong Lue wasn’t even qualified to be his opponent, let alone be able to cut his hand with a knife!

Shen Yuechuan pushed Xiao Yunyun aside while a murderous look flashed across his eyes. He halted Zhong Lue with one arm and wrested the knife from him with a quick movement.

His movements were risky although he was agile, which scared Xiao Yunyun, who had thought that he was going to stop the knife with his bare hands. She widened her eyes and subconsciously covered her mouth with both hands.

Shen Yuechuan sighed to himself as he caught a glimpse of Xiao Yunyun—he realized that it would frighten her if he didn’t end the fight as soon as possible.

With that, Shen Yuechuan lifted his right leg and kneed Zhong Lue hard.

Zhong Lue was hit in the most vulnerable part of his body. He immediately felt a sharp pain and let out a howl while bending down.

Shen Yuechuan looked at the wound in his right hand and struck Zhong Lue harder, which gave him unbearable pain.

“Shen Yuechuan!” Zhong Lue glared at Shen Yuechuan with hands the hurt area. “Stay here if you dare. I’ll call my men here!”

He thought it was easy to ask others for help whenever he lost in a fight because many people were willing to be beaten up on his behalf and in the name of the powerful Zhong Family—that was the reason why Zhong Lue had always been a bully in City A.

Shen Yuechuan wasn’t afraid at all. He whipped out handkerchief and casually bandaged his wound. “I will gladly wait.” With that, he looked at Zhong Lue with a calm smile.

Xiao Yunyun was worried.

She wondered, “Zhong Lue will call his men here. Why doesn’t Shen Yuechuan leave?”

“How could Shen Yuechuan fight against them once they outnumber him even if he’s good at fighting?”

Xiao Yunyun didn’t dare to utter a word, nor did she know what his plan was because Shen Yuechuan looked quite calm.

Zhong Lue suddenly realized that there had to be many of Shen Yuechuan’s friends there as he took out his cellphone to dial. He thought that Shen Yuechuan’s friends would surround them once his men went after him; that was why Shen Yuechuan could keep calm.

However, the key reason was that—it was Su Yicheng’s wedding.

Few would dare to make trouble at Su Yicheng’s wedding because he was as honored as Lu Boyan was in the business circles of City A.

However, Zhong Lue thought it would be embarrassing if he didn’t call his men there since he had threatened to do that.

Zhong Lue thought for a while and finally decided to call his father—the chairman of the Zhong Group.

Zhong Lue was sure that Shen Yuechuan would fear his father since even Lu Boyan had to pay obeisance to him father because of the cooperation between the Zhong Group and Lu Enterprises.

After hanging up, Zhong Lue stared at Shen Yuechuan with a sneer, which was meant to say, “You’re in trouble.”

Shen Yuechuan didn’t take it seriously.

He knew what Zhong Lue was thinking about.

He thought that Zhong Lue didn’t know Lu Boyan well enough, although they had cooperated for a long time.

Lu Boyan’s obeisance to the elderly didn’t mean that he would turn a blind eye when someone bullied his cousin.

Those who worked for Lu Enterprises all knew that Lu Boyan had always shielded his friends and relatives from being bullied.

Not long after, Old Master Zhong arrived.

The old man, who had gone through ups and downs in the business circles for decades, was wearing an expensive tailored suit. He walked toward them with firm steps that only belonged to those powerful people who were in high positions, looking cold and serious.

“What happened?”

Old Master Zhong glared at Shen Yuechuan. His deep and powerful voice was full of a unique majesty of the elderly, which made people involuntarily admire him.

However, Shen Yuechuan didn’t seem to fear Old Master Zhong. He shrugged and said, “Mr. Zhong, a kid lost in his fight with another and went home to get his mother in tears. That’s the main gist of it.” His words were full of sarcasm, although his voice sounded casual.

Old Master Zhong gave him a warning look and said, “Special Assistant Shen, don’t forget who you are!” He was telling Shen Yuechuan to pay obeisance to him because of his high status.

Shen Yuechuan said with a smile, “Mr. Zhong, I’ll never forget that the Zhong Group is a partner of Lu Enterprises. I heard that you’ve worked for several days without rest to prepare for the cooperation plan. Is that true?”

“What are you talking about?” asked Old Master Zhong with a sour look.

“No big deal.” Shen Yuechuan sighed. “Young Master Zhong is 30 years old, isn’t he? It’s a pity that he can’t deal with a project himself at such an age. Otherwise, you shouldn’t have worked hard in your old age, should you?”

“Shen Yuechuan!” Zhong Lue burst out with ire, “What do you mean by that?”

Shen Yuechuan smiled and said, “Young Master Zhong, just calm yourself down. Those shareholders of the Zhong Group lost confidence in you after you messed a project up, didn’t they? But you’re still young, and they won’t doubt your ability all the time if you try to do something for your company in the next eight or ten years. Take it easy and don’t hurry. Anyway... it’s a long way to go.”

His words were full of sarcasm, although it seemed that Shen Yuechuan was trying to comfort Zhong Lue.

The young and aggressive Zhong Lue couldn’t stand such provocation at all. He rushed toward Shen Yuechuan in a rage and shouted, “Shen Yuechuan, I’ll kill you!”

Shen Yuechuan looked fearless.

He would never allow his son to act rashly at that moment if he were Old Master Zhong.

The reason was that killing him in fury was equivalent to admitting that he was right and that Zhong Lue was incompetent.

As expected, Old Master Zhong shouted to stop his son. “Ah Lue!”

His knuckles paled as Zhong Lue clenched his fists. “Dad!”

“Come here!” Old Master Zhong glared at Shen Yuechuan. “Call Boyan and ask him to handle his subordinate!” He was sure that Lu Boyan would severely punish Shen Yuechuan for disrespecting him.

Zhong Lue immediately got his father’s point and called Lu Boyan as Old Master Zhong told him to.

Xiao Yunyun walked behind Shen Yuechuan and gave him a confused look.

She didn’t want Shen Yuechuan to be punished because of that.

She thought that Shen Yuechuan didn’t deserve to be punished because he had stood up for her when she tried to stop Zhong Lue from molesting the hotel waitress.

Shen Yuechuan motioned for Xiao Yunyun not to worry.

He knew Lu Boyan better than Old Master Zhong since he had worked for Lu Boyan for many years.

The waitress arrived with Shen Yuechuan’s other friends before Zhong Lue could get through to Lu Boyan.

Shen Yuechuan had always visited the hotel because of business reasons, and he had sometimes called to get rooms arranged for his friends, who were known to the waiters there as time passed, and his friends had often been well treated as a result.

A large group of people gathered as soon as the waitress told them that Shen Yuechuan was fighting with Zhong Lue.

However, they hadn’t expected that Old Master Zhong would show up.

They had originally decided to teach Zhong Lue a lesson since he had gone to the wedding alone.

They thought that they would only get a criminal record after solving the problem between them and the Zhong Family according to the law, which was the least of their worries since they had always been detained because of car racing.

As for Su Yicheng, they thought that he wouldn’t do anything to them if they tried their best to apologize since Shen Yuechuan was the assistant of his brother-in-law.

However, things had become complicated because Old Master Zhong was there.

Old Master Zhong was honored as a father figure in the business circles, so they would never dare to beat his son up in front of him, no matter how bold they were.

Shen Yuechuan simply motioned for them to calm down when his friends cast a helpless look at him.

“Who is it?” There came Lu Boyan’s low voice from Zhong Lue’s cellphone at that very moment.

“Boyan, it’s me,” said Old Master Zhong.

“Old Master Zhong?” Lu Boyan was surprised, but soon he asked in a calm voice, “What’s the matter?”

“Some private matter,” Old Master Zhong said crossly, “Your assistant called a group of men to beat my son up. You know how to deal with it.”

Lu Boyan thought for a while and said, “Old Master Zhong, it’s not what you think, is it?”

“What do you mean by that?” asked Old Master Zhong in an angry voice.

“I want to say that Yuechuan isn’t an unreasonable person,” Lu Boyan said slowly, “Tell me the details first if you want me to solve the problem.”

“I will tell you!” The waitress stepped forward and shouted on the cellphone, “Boss Lu, I’m a waitress working in the hotel. It’s all because of me. No one knows the whole thing better than me!”

Old Master Zhong could tell what had happened when he saw the waitress since he knew his son well. He gave Zhong Lue a stare with tough love. Zhong Lue felt guilty and decided to hang up.

“Manager Zhong, could you please put the waitress on the phone?”

Lu Boyan’s words had stopped Zhong Lue from hanging up in time.

Zhong Lue had no choice but to hand the phone to the waitress.

“Boss Lu, here’s the thing. Mr. Zhong was drunk just now. I stopped him when he was about to enter the powder room. But he said he would double my salary and force me to go to the room upstairs with him. Miss Xiao helped me and pushed him away. She asked me to call for help and I did, although I don’t know what happened here in the meantime.”

“Yunyun? Did Zhong Lue do anything to you?” asked Lu Boyan in a cold and serious voice.

Xiao Yunyun cast a glimpse at Zhong Lue and saw the fear in his eyes.

“Haha,” she thought to herself.

“I must play act now that Zhong Lue is cowering. His fear deserves my acting, doesn’t it?”
