Chapter 438 - 436: Xu Wei’s Frustration
"Oh, Grandpa, I’m a bit embarrassed, you know, being a girl."
Wu Mengting said with a red face. One must admit, her acting talent was quite high, as she cooperated seamlessly with Chen Tianlong in such a short time.
"Alright, alright, Dad forgives you."
Tan Tian wasn’t really angry; he was just worried.
The two of them exchanged glances, then smiled wryly.
Chen Tianlong safely sent Wu Mengting back home. After chatting for a while, it was already late at night, and he eventually drove back to school with some reluctance.
After all, he and Wu Mengting were still students. Although they were a couple, spending the night together at someone else’s house felt a bit strange.
Upon leaving Tan Tian’s house, Chen Tianlong’s heart was filled with anger again. This time, his woman was almost destroyed by that kid Xu Wei. If he let this pass quietly, he wouldn’t be Chen Tianlong.
Although it was already past eleven, Chen Tianlong was certain that Xu Wei wouldn’t be going back to school so early to sleep.
Xu Wei usually lived at school, but since he did something bad today and the group of brothers he called was beaten badly by himself, how could he stay calmly at school?
So, he would definitely return, and there were only two roads leading to school. One was towards the suburb where Wu Mengting’s house was, and the other naturally was the city center.
Chen Tianlong knew exactly who Xu Wei’s backers were. Hao Shuai’s family lived in the direction of the city center, so after things went south, Xu Wei would definitely rush to the Xu Family, or meet Hao Shuai somewhere to discuss countermeasures.
Indeed, Chen Tianlong guessed correctly. In a KTV private room near the city center, Xu Wei and Hao Shuai were having a great time with a group of women.
Suddenly, a phone call came in. He hurried out the door to answer it, and after listening, his phone almost slipped from his hand—the mission had failed.
Six grown men failed, and most crucially, Chen Tianlong appeared and beat those six seriously, causing heavy casualties on their side.
"Wait... Do you know if they revealed any information, implicating me as the one who instructed you?"
Xu Wei finally recovered from the shock. He didn’t care about the lives of those people. After all, they accepted money to solve problems for others. The money was given, but the job was botched, and they had to clean up their own mess.
However, what he was most concerned about now was whether his identity had been exposed.
Chen Tianlong was a madman. If he really were exposed, then it would be over.
"Well... Wei, I really don’t know. I was on lookout, and I also had a leg broken. As for what happened inside, it was horrific. I’m still lying in the hospital, and the police have me under control. Wei, you have to save us."
The speaker was the only conscious one, who merely had a leg broken by Chen Tianlong. Seizing the moment when the police and doctors went out, he hurriedly took out his phone to report the situation to Xu Wei.
"Damn it! You messed up yourselves, and you want a student like me to clean up after you? Dream on! Have some professionalism, will you? Stop bothering me, and remember, don’t let me find out that you’ve exposed my identity."
Xu Wei said, then directly hung up the phone.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save them, but if he showed up, it would be a direct admission that he ordered it. Chen Tianlong wasn’t an idiot. If he found out, then Xu Wei might as well wait for death.
However, just when he was relieved that his identity hadn’t been exposed, a text message came, making Xu Wei freeze. He opened it and almost fainted on the spot.
"Sorry, Wei, I forgot to tell you earlier. Before Chen Tianlong left, he said: get ready a coffin."
"Damn it, it’s over, it’s over."
After reading this message, Xu Wei was like an ant on a hot pan, restless, with no mood to continue singing or enjoying.
Xu Wei opened the door of the private room, unable to help himself from saying, "Boss, something’s happened."
Hao Shuai was stunned upon hearing it. Seeing Xu Wei’s panicked look, he directly paused the music, then waved to signal the girls to leave.
After the KTV girls left, Xu Wei closed the door of the private room, walked to the sofa, plopped down with a sigh, and held his head in his hands, not lifting it for a long time.
"Wei, what’s wrong? Why are you covering your face?" Hao Shuai frowned, seeing that something significant must have gone wrong, or Xu Wei would not have such an expression.
"Boss, I’m finished. I knew this task couldn’t be done... sigh..."
Xu Wei felt like crying but had no tears. He absolutely believed that Chen Tianlong would do it. After all, he was going to violate his girlfriend. Normally, even a little offense would get someone beaten to a pulp.
Now in this situation, might as well be dead.
"What on earth happened to scare you like this?"
Hao Shuai was also in a bad mood. Normally, Xu Wei was never afraid of trouble. The two had been hanging out together for two years. What hadn’t they seen? Was there a need to be so worried?
"Boss, the plan failed. Wu Mengting wasn’t violated. Our guys were all beaten badly, and some are in critical condition. Moreover... Chen Tianlong already knows that I’m the one who sent them."
"What?"
Hao Shuai took a deep breath. Such an outcome was truly unexpected. It was supposed to be perfect. Wu Mengting went home herself, yet six grown men couldn’t handle it and were beaten badly instead.
After a moment of surprise, Hao Shuai finally calmed down and said, "Is Chen Tianlong Superman or something? How could he rescue her even in such circumstances?"
"I don’t know either. Logically, six grown men should be enough to handle a weak girl. And I confirmed that Chen Tianlong was at school before coming here with peace of mind. Who would have thought this would be the result?"
Xu Wei felt utterly defeated, filled with regret. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn’t have taken the task, even if it meant not working with Hao Shuai anymore. It would be better than the constant threat of being killed now.
After a long while, Hao Shuai took a drag on his cigarette, thought for a long time, then suddenly said, "Wei, don’t go to school for the next few days. Wait until things settle down. I’ll arrange a place for you to stay temporarily. I’ll take care of the school stuff for you."
The reason Hao Shuai did this was that he was also worried that if Xu Wei was caught by Chen Tianlong and interrogated, they would directly target him.
Though Hao Shuai knew Chen Tianlong would surely suspect it was his doing, without evidence, as the Xu Family’s young master, Chen Tianlong wouldn’t dare act rashly against him.
"Alright, but I need to go back to get some things first. After all, I need to bring clothes and daily supplies, right?" Xu Wei said with a wry smile.
