“Pursue liability? Do I, Li Beiting, need to follow legal procedures with you lot? I’m telling you, whether Weiwei is dead or alive, you all better fucking roll out of C City!”

“Boss Li, if you put it that way, it won’t be fun anymore.” A man holding a cigarette stepped forward.

These men were not from the business world, and their earlier deference to Li Beiting was merely out of fear of Shen Chi.

It was said that Li Beiting and Shen Chi were the best of brothers, and Shen Chi was a feared figure in C City, known equally among both law-abiding citizens and the underworld. However, when Li Beiting spoke to them like this, they clearly didn’t accept it.

“This chick named Yu Weiwei, we didn’t touch her. She fell off the building by accident and dropped into the river. Are you saying, we should take responsibility for that? Boss Li, what you’re saying is a bit too harsh. Why don’t we all take a step back?”

The man looked at Li Beiting with a fierce determination.

But Li Beiting showed no signs of compromise. He pointed at the man’s nose, his words righteous and stern, his expression ferocious, “I’ve said it before, and my words are like spilled water – I can’t take them back. I told you to roll out of C City, and you’d better fucking roll without stopping!”

Seeing that Li Beiting was not easy to deal with, the man took out his mobile phone, ready to call his own people.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took out his phone, Li Beiting stepped forward and with a “smack,” knocked the phone out of his hand!

He then stomped heavily on it, grinding it underfoot a few times until the phone’s screen shattered instantly!

Xu Chaomu watched quietly from the side; she had never seen Li Beiting so enraged.

His demeanor radiated a murderous impulse.

Even she was startled.

“Bring them in, if they won’t take the toasts I offer, they’ll take the forfeits; send all these men to C City’s prison. The law? Who the hell are you to talk law with me?”

Li Beiting roared in anger, and the surroundings fell silent.

The men took a few steps back until they could retreat no further.

Just then, the owner of the Weiyang Club finally came out.

Xu Chaomu had assumed the owner would be a pot-bellied, big-eared middle-aged man, but surprisingly, the owner turned out to be a young man.

The light was slightly dim, and the lighting above cast on his face, making him appear calm and composed.

Dressed in a casual black suit, with a steady stride, and an undisturbed gaze, the man exuded an air of elegance. His every move was graceful, which seemed out of place in the atmosphere of the Weiyang.

He walked toward Li Beiting in polished black leather shoes, his cold and handsome face breaking into a faint smile.

“What kind of wind blew Boss Li over here?”

“Huh, Ji Shengxuan, you finally show up. The way you carry yourself as a boss sure is something,” Li Beiting sneered, his tone still impatient.

Xu Chaomu stared intently at the man for a moment — Ji Shengxuan? She had never heard of him.

But no matter how she looked at it, she couldn’t connect Weiyang with this man.

From any angle, Ji Shengxuan seemed like a refined young intellectual, not the tycoon of an entertainment empire.

He exuded an air of elegant gentlemanliness, not the impetuousness characteristic of Weiyang.

However, Xu Chaomu had seen plenty of cases where appearances were deceiving.

Shen Chi was the perfect example!

“I wouldn’t dare to put on airs in front of Boss Li. I just had a few extra drinks and arrived a bit late. Let me offer my apologies,” Ji Shengxuan said, his lips curving slightly, his slender mouth opening to reveal a pleasing sight.

Xu Chaomu’s gaze flickered — these two men standing together were exceptionally striking, and if you added one more man to the mix…

“Ji Shengxuan, on your turf, are you going to give me an explanation today?” Li Beiting’s anger seemed to recede slightly.

Originally, he was going to search for Yu Weiwei himself, but given his lack of swimming skills, even if he went, he wouldn’t be of any help.

“Hasn’t Boss Li just said? Send them to prison. Oh, if that’s not enough, cripple their arms and legs, and that’ll do it, right?” Ji Shengxuan said, his tone light, his face seemingly still wearing a faint smile as he spoke these ruthless words.

Xu Chaomu shivered. She knew well that men who built major businesses were no easy characters.

This man seemed indifferent to everything on the surface, serene as he faced the world, but the words he uttered were more ruthless than anyone else’s.

She really couldn’t understand the world of men.

“Boss Ji, don’t you have some evidence for me?” Li Beiting’s eyes grew sharp as he turned to Ji Shengxuan, changing his tone.

“That’s an easy thing to address, show it,” Ji Shengxuan clapped his hands. Shortly after, someone brought over something resembling a videotape.

Li Beiting’s eyes narrowed. This man was truly not someone to be taken lightly. With so many people causing trouble on his property, he bided his time before appearing, and when he did, he was all set.

Li Beiting picked up the videotape, his lips thinning slightly, his expression a mix of a smile and not a smile. “Then, thank you, Boss Ji.”

“No problem at all, with Boss Li honoring us with your presence, how could I not handle things properly?”

“So, those men, you’re okay with offending them?” Li Beiting cast a glance at the men crowded in the corner.

Those who frequented places like the Weiyang were either rich or powerful, and these men surely had significant status.

“Boss Li, I’m just being fair, favoring no one. Walk straight and have no fear of crooked shadows. You agree, don’t you?”

When Xu Chaomu heard this, she couldn’t help but think what a crafty fox he was – a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

She pursed her lips, giving Ji Shengxuan another look.

He was perfectly positioned under the chandelier. The dim light highlighted the sharp angles of his face.

His lips curved upward slightly, his cold eyes glittering, his face carrying a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, inscrutable. Just then, several soaked auxiliary police walked in.

“No luck, we still can’t find the person.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Chaomu’s face paled. Without a thought, she bolted outside.

“Xu Chaomu, where do you think you’re running off to?”

Li Beiting immediately followed her.

Ji Shengxuan didn’t move; he just shifted his gaze, watching Xu Chaomu and Li Beiting leave.

Li Beiting soon caught up with Xu Chaomu, grabbing her, “Don’t just run off. If

I lost you, I couldn’t bear the responsibility!”

“Weiwei is missing, Li Beiting, order someone to search for her! Don’t you understand? If something really happens to her, I’ll never be at peace for the rest of my life.” Xu Chaomu’s voice carried a hint of crying; she was truly anxious.

“I’ve already sent people to search. Am I not anxious? Weiwei’s missing – do you have any idea who’s the most worried? You… never mind, just stand here, don’t move. I’ll have someone take you back.”

Li Beiting was exasperated.

“I’m not leaving, I can’t possibly leave. Even if it means standing vigil, I must!” Xu Chaomu was stubborn, and nothing could persuade her otherwise.

“Don’t make trouble for me. I’ll have Fourth Brother take you back! Look at yourself, not properly dressed, with a face full of heavy makeup. I’ll settle accounts with you and Weiwei later!” Li Beiting said, his tone unfriendly..
