32: Chapter 32 It’s a Threat to You 32: Chapter 32 It’s a Threat to You It turned out that Zhang Tian’s father happened to be hoping to fill the vacancy of Deputy Mayor.
He had been working hard during this period, trying to achieve some political accomplishments to prove himself.
The Office of Investment Attraction of the Industry and Commerce Bureau had hooked a big fish; the Gu Group from Jiangnan Province wanted to open a branch factory and company in Qingshan City.
With the arrival of the wealthy household, the whole Qingshan City, from local officials to Zhang Tian’s father, was incredibly enthusiastic, fearing that they might neglect the people from Gu Group.
But Zhang Tian, this fool, was used as a target by Zhao Xiancheng and ended up poking the hornet’s nest that was Gu Group.
It was bad enough to offend the people from Gu Group, but to hinder the investment attraction, that was a much greater fault.
This young man was dragged out of his sickbed by his father to come and apologize to the president of Gu Group!
After understanding the whole story, Su Xuan curled his lips and said, “How come you only grew tall and didn’t grow a brain?”
“Bro, my dear brother.
If you don’t help me, I’m going to get my legs broken by my dad when I get home!”
Zhang Tian’s face had already wrinkled like a bitter melon, pleading persistently with Su Xuan.
“Alright, alright, we’ll play it by ear when the time comes!”
Su Xuan waved his hand impatiently, thinking how both siblings from the Zhang Family have no other skills but are exceptionally good at being annoying!
The two went upstairs, heading straight for a private room.
The club had everything one could want, and the floor they were now on housed the most famous nightclub of Emperor.
Following the waiter to the door of the private room, Su Xuan saw the timid look on Zhang Tian’s face and knocked on his head as if to scold him for his timidity, then said, “What are you afraid of, it’s no big deal!”
“Brother, it’s easy for you to say, not feeling the pain.
This is a matter of life and death.
If I don’t handle this well, my dad definitely won’t let me off!”
Hearing this, Su Xuan shook his head slightly without defending himself.
He wasn’t just talking big; to him, even the sky falling wouldn’t count as a big deal.
You see, back in his time in the Special Forces, he was almost daily faced with life and death situations.
Had his nerves not been toughened to an enormous extent, he would have likely broken down long ago.
Moreover, if anyone were constantly faced with life and death tests like he was, they would probably feel the same way, not regarding this as anything serious!
Ignoring the incessant Zhang Tian, Su Xuan directly pushed open the door of the private room.
The room inside was luxuriously furnished, with a leather sofa, a back-projection TV, and even a bedroom for guests to rest in, though the bedroom door was tightly closed at the moment.
A beautifully set table full of exquisite dishes was already in place on the large round table in the living room.
At the round table, four or five men were chatting and laughing.
When the door was pushed open, they all focused their attention on Su Xuan and Zhang Tian.
Among the group, the leader was a young man in his early twenties.
This person was quite handsome, but exuded a sort of effeminate air, especially his triangular eyes, which could send a chill down the spine of anyone he stared at.
Next to this young man sat another man in his thirties wearing glasses.
The man with glasses had his hair slicked back.
Though he wasn’t very old, his face bore a maturity that did not match his age.
Upon seeing Su Xuan, the smile on the young leader’s face quickly cooled down, his eyes flashing a spiteful gleam.
Then, when he saw Zhang Tian following behind Su Xuan, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he spoke indifferently, “What are you doing here, haven’t you been beaten enough?”
Zhang Tian’s face darkened in anger, about to speak, but was stopped by Su Xuan in front of him.
Su Xuan’s gaze swept over those people, finally resting on Zhao Xiancheng.
“Young Master Zhao, long time no see.” After Su Xuan spoke, he revealed a smile and took a seat in an empty spot on his own.
As it happened, the seat he chose was directly opposite Zhao Xiancheng.
“Hmph, I thought you might have died in the military.
Surprisingly, you managed to come back alive,” Zhao sneered.
Not everyone might be aware, but Zhao Xiancheng, as the son of someone very significant in the military, had some inkling about Su Xuan joining Huaxia’s top Special Forces unit.
The Special Forces unit Su Xuan was part of had been personally established by the Military God.
Other Special Forces units would disqualify the unqualified, also known as the elimination rate.
However, the unit that Su Xuan belonged to didn’t have an elimination rate; they had a mortality rate, and it was as high as ninety percent!
Yes, in that Special Forces unit, to be eliminated meant death!
“If you didn’t die, how could I afford to?”
Su Xuan, unconcerned, poured himself a glass of red wine, gently swirled it, and took a sip.
a ’82 Lafite, this wine isn’t cheap, costing around thirty to forty thousand a bottle.
Young Master Zhao, as far as I know, doesn’t your dad’s salary as Deputy Mayor not even reach thirty thousand a month?”
Before Zhao Xiancheng could respond, Su Xuan chuckled softly, then added, “Well, that makes sense, after all, Young Master Zhao, as the son of someone powerful, skimming off the top and trafficking in approvals must be pretty easy for you!”
Hearing this, Zhao Xiancheng’s gaze instantly turned icy, fixing Su Xuan with a stare.
“One might eat indiscriminately, but words must not be spoken carelessly.”
With a dark look in his eyes, Zhao Xiancheng’s gaze casually fell on the spectacled man beside him as he spoke softly, “Also, as far as I know, the Fenghua Group isn’t under the Su’s name anymore; it belongs to the Wang family now.”
As he spoke, he leisurely raised his glass.
After taking a sip, he then said, “Without the Fenghua Group, what do you have to compete against me with?”
“Who said I was going to compete against you?”
A look of surprise spread across Su Xuan’s face as he retorted in astonishment.
Pointing to Tian who was still foolishly standing at the door behind him, he continued, “I came here today to solve Tian’s problems, it’s best if Young Master Zhao does not interfere.”
“What if I insist on intervening?”
Zhao Xiancheng revealed a teasing smile, his eyes carrying a hint of mockery.
“Then I will definitely get an itchy hand.
If I can’t control myself later, and you end up missing an arm or breaking a leg, that would be quite unfortunate!”
“Are you threatening me?!” Zhao Xiancheng’s expression changed as he stood up abruptly, shouting angrily.
For a moment, the entire private room fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
“That’s right, I am threatening you!”
Su Xuan sneered disdainfully, evidently not taking the tense atmosphere seriously.
You’re still as detestable as you were three years ago!”
“The feeling is mutual!” Su Xuan retorted, not stopping his actions.
He hadn’t had a bite to eat at Lin Mengxue’s house and had hurried to the police station to collect a reward, without eating anything.
Now, he was really hungry!
Zhao Xiancheng didn’t speak, but the spectacled man next to him glared at Su Xuan and Tian with a furious expression.
Seeing Zhao Xiancheng make no move, he couldn’t hold back any longer and said, “Young Master Cheng, why waste words with these two lads?
With that, he clapped his hands.
Suddenly, five or six burly men burst out from a room behind him.
