Jiang Xu’s gaze swept across the room, at least ten people.
Every one of them had a fierce look in their eyes, clearly not the type to mess with.
As the saying goes, “Villains die from talking too much.”
But these people looked quite professional.
They didn’t utter a single word.
Upon seeing Jiang Xu, they directly charged at him with iron bars in hand.
“Tsk tsk tsk,” Jiang Xu shook his head. “Huang Xiaofei, you have no honor in martial arts.”
There was no need to guess.
That guy definitely wanted to capture him, give him a beating, then take a picture.
But Jiang Xu wasn’t afraid at all.
After all, he had plenty of resources.
He was even a bit worried that after seeing him, Huang Xiaofei might feel inferior.
Of course, he didn’t plan to just sit around and wait for doom.
Quickly, he pulled a small packet out of his pocket and powerfully flung it forward.
The bag broke upon impact, and the powdered lime inside scattered everywhere.
Jiang Xu’s sense of precaution had always been strong.
Or one could say, he had strong paranoid delusions.
He always felt like someone was out to get him.
Carrying this kind of trinket was second nature to him.
He didn’t expect it to come in handy today.
Caught off guard, the five or six strapping men in front took a hit, their eyesight compromised, and they cried out in pain.
Jiang Xu executed a series of Iron Mountain Leans, knocking a few obstructing men aside and quicldy ran away.
Thanks to the doves.
The several people who hadn’t been hit by the lime powder chased after him furiously.
But after a short pursuit, they gave up.
Because Jiang Xu had already reached the school.
He stopped and caught his breath slightly.
After a brief recovery, he called Huang Xiaofei.
“Little bro, you’re quite something, sending ten people to deal with me, but guess what, I came out unscathed.”
Huang Xiaofei feigned ignorance, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
“Heh,” Jiang Xu responded noncommittally, “Never mind then, little pudding.”
Huang Xiaofei was taken aback, then quickly realized what Jiang Xu meant.
It was difficult for Jiang Xu to emotionally perturb Huang Xiaofei in other ways,
But this…
No man could bear it.
“Jiang Xu, you…du du…”
Before he could finish, Jiang Xu hung up the phone.
On the other side, Huang Xiaofei’s face twisted in anger, finally unable to contain his outburst.
He violently smashed his phone to the ground, shattering it.
A man in his fifties stood beside him, saying expressionlessly, “Young master, do you need me to…”
“No,” Huang Xiaofei waved his hand, “He’s a national scholar; killing him would bring great trouble and wouldn’t be worth it.”
If it were an ordinary person, he would have taken action already.
But with Jiang Xu,
Any improper handling could lead to great trouble.
“Yes, young master,” the man nodded, not saying anything more.
Huang Xiaofei rubbed his temples, “My brothers have been moving faster than me.
I can’t focus all my energy on Jiang Xu; I need to split it up, look for a new target.”
“Alright, I’ll get on it right away.”
Jiang Xu stood at the school gate, looking into the distance, his gaze flickering. Ultimately, he decided to contact An Feng.
With An Feng included, the process of taking down the Huang Family would speed up.
Anyway, the two of them had cooperated before.
Dialing the number, Jiang Xu smiled, “Old … uh, Uncle, good afternoon.”
“You rascal, what do you want? I’ll say it first; there’s no money to lend.”
Jiang Xu feigned injury, “Uncle, do I really seem like that kind of person to you?”
An Feng: “You’re definitely not any good, come on, spit it out, what’s the issue?”
“Mhm,” Jiang Xu’s smile faded, “It’s like this…”
He recounted everything from receiving the doctored photos to everything that happened afterwards in great detail.
He didn’t exaggerate a single bit.
After listening, An Feng was silent for a long time.
Jiang Xu waited for a minute or two, and he still didn’t speak.
So, he probed, “Uncle, are you scared?”
After all, the Huang Family was powerful. Generations of effort had built up a massive scale of industry.
“Nonsense, why would I be scared of them?” An Feng said angrily. “I was just thinking about how to deal with them!”
Jiang Xu laughed, “That’s where you’re impressive, uncle.”
“Kid!” An Feng’s tone became serious, “I’ve heard about this family, we’ve got to deal with them.
Even with you and me together, it might not be enough.
How about we also bring in your Uncle Fu?
Then find a time to meet up and discuss this face to face.”
Jiang Xu, “Alright, I’ll listen to uncle. How about this Sunday?”
An Feng, “Hmm, that works.”
Jiang Xu, “Then we’ll talk then.”
An Feng, “Right, have you been with my daughter…”
Jiang Xu honestly replied, “Slept together.”
“Doo-doo-doo…”
An Feng hung up the phone.
Jiang Xu guessed that he might be smashing cups right now.
Thinking about such a scene made him laugh.
It’s quite a feat to snatch away someone else’s little cabbage.
And so, Jiang Xu decided, he’d better not have a daughter in the future.
Better to have a son, and snatch away someone else’s little cabbage.
A few days later, Huang Xiaofei’s hype had died down.
He was still in the class, just very low-key.
Arriving first in the class every day, and leaving last.
He was like a modern-day Han Xin.
So capable of enduring.
Despite the mockery, his classmates couldn’t help but feel a hint of admiration.
On Saturday night, they’d arranged to go singing together.
Jiang Xu picked out a large private room.
He brought some bodyguards with him.
All hired from Jiang Xiaoyan’s security company.
Fifteen male and fifteen female bodyguards.
Out of these, twelve female bodyguards were designated for An Nuonuo, three for Zhang Yuanyuan.
Ten male bodyguards were there to protect Jiang Xu, and five to protect Fu Yanjie.
He had already seen Huang Xiaofei’s unscrupulous methods.
And was a bit worried that he might do something to his two good friends.
Apart from being skilled in combat, these bodyguards also had many special abilities.
Like counter-surveillance and so on.
After Jiang Xu had booked the private room, he had the bodyguards check all the food brought in.
Only after confirming there were no issues did he call everyone over.
The group wasn’t large, just a few close friends.
Fu Yanjie and his wife, Jiang Xiaoyan, alongside Xia Xiaozhan and Wu
Mengmeng.
Originally, Jiang Xu wanted to invite the other two roommates as well.
But considering that Xia Xiaozhan and Wu Mengmeng didn’t like them, he decided against it.
Once everyone had arrived, the girls started to belt out songs.
An Nuonuo was busy serving everyone, pouring drinks, slicing fruits, snacks, etc.
When the girls got tired of singing, they sat down to eat and take selfies.
These days, most girls pout their lips and pose with a peace sign in their selfies.
Jiang Xu quietly reflected.
This era didn’t have beauty filters yet, so the beauties online were mostly genuine.
In a few years, when those come out, even a sow could become a Diao Chan.
“Ah? How could I forget about that!” Jiang Xu slapped his forehead.
There weren’t many beauty filter features available now.
It seems like only ‘TuMei’ was worldng on it.
This company was established in 2008.
But now, because the smartphone industry hadn’t taken off, the company was still relatively unknown.
Jiang Xu planned to take some time to develop the product.
When Mei Zhu’s new model came out, he would add it as a feature to boost sales.
They were all young people and after having some drinks, the party really kicked off.
Colorful lights were flashing nonstop in the room.
Xia Xiaozhan and Wu Mengmeng even started a spontaneous dance, drawing all eyes to them.
Fu Yanjie wanted to watch, but was shut down by Zhang Yuanyuan’s cold gaze and had no choice but to lower his head.
Jiang Xu, on the other hand, watched openly.
An Nuonuo wouldn’t say anything.
Besides, he didn’t have any other intentions.
“Why aren’t you drinking?” Jiang Xu asked An Nuonuo, “Have a little.”
An Nuonuo puzzled, “Why do you want me to drink today?”
Jiang Xu thought to himself, he just wanted to do an experiment….
