Chapter 91 - Chapter 91: I'll Play Along

"If you're feeling heartbroken, hurry up and pack that car up to sell it."

Zhou Xing glanced at the totaled porsche: "Clean it up; even scrap metal can fetch a good price."

"Oh right, if you think that's too little, take my car too... adding two piles of scrap metal together should be a decent amount, enough to barely buy another car to drive."

Zhou Xing said indifferently, "Just be more careful next time you drive; others might not have as good a temper as I do."

After he finished speaking.

The entire place fell silent.

Arrogant!

Utterly arrogant!

Those who had come along with Li Guoxing were also filled with shock as they listened to Zhou Xing's words.

As prominent figures in Shanghai.

It wasn't that they hadn't seen overbearing Second-generation rich before.

But someone like Zhou Xing, who crashed into Li Guoxing's car and then spoke so insolently... this was the first time they had seen such a thing.

Su Xi also turned her head and looked at Zhou Xing in surprise.

Based on this brief interaction.

She knew clearly that Zhou Xing was not a brainless person.

On the contrary... he possessed a maturity far beyond his peers.

Yet he still acted so unscrupulously, which meant that Zhou Xing was one hundred percent certain and had enough confidence to back himself up.

Su Xi fell silent.

A paid-in capital of two billion was certainly impressive, but in China, there were many people who could produce such funds.

Li Guoxing's family background was anything but ordinary.

Zhou Xing must have realized this long ago.

But he didn't care.

This meant that Zhou Xing's background was somewhat terrifying.

"Li Guoxing, let's leave today's matter at that."

Su Xi took the initiative to speak: "Escalating this won't be good for anyone. Besides, you were the one at fault first. Your car is totaled, and my boss's car is also totaled, so let's just call it even."

"Call it even?"

Hearing Su Xi's words that clearly favored Zhou Xing, the anger in Li Guoxing's eyes surged even more: "Then what about my injuries? If I hadn't moved quickly, I'd probably be lying in the hospital right now. Why don't you mention that?"

"If I swallow this insult..."

"How will I ever establish myself in Shanghai again? What face will I have to say I'm a member of the Li Family?"

Su Xi took a deep breath, suppressing her impatience: "Then you're determined to make things difficult for me today. I brought Zhou Xing here. If you have a problem, take it up with me. I'll resolve it with you, okay? Whatever it is, let's sit down and talk it through clearly."

"This has nothing to do with you, don't get involved!"

Li Guoxing pointed at Zhou Xing: "He crashed into my car, and I could let that go, but if I let a guy who has no regard for human life off the hook, he'll only cause trouble in Shanghai in the future!"

"I think it's better to deal with trash like this as soon as possible."

"As for you, I'll explain things to Elder Su and have you leave this company as soon as possible. Staying by such a person's side is not good for you."

Su Xi wanted to say something more, but Zhou Xing placed his hand on her shoulder, pulled her back slightly, and stepped forward.

"What kind of big shot are you pretending to be?"

Zhou Xing sneered: "I have no regard for human life? Why don't you mention that you were the one who started this? You keep saying it's for someone's own good, but didn't your mother teach you to drive safely when you go out?!"

"If you don't want your life, donate it sooner rather than later. Stop being so disgusting here. Your worthless life isn't worth pitying, but don't drag others down with you!"

The veins on Li Guoxing's forehead bulged.

After slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, he gradually calmed himself down.

He stared gloomily at Zhou Xing: "It's good for young people to be frivolous, but you have to know who you're dealing with and the situation."

"Remember, there are many things in this world that money cannot solve."

"Being too arrogant will only lead to reaping what you sow and paying a heavy price."

Li Guoxing said word for word: "I won't lay a hand on you, but remember, this is Shanghai, not some countryside place of yours. You don't get to run wild here."

"I've noted this debt; you won't escape."

Zhou Xing chuckled, his eyes full of contempt: "You're already in your thirties and you're still playing this game, wishing the whole world knew your family has some background, right?"

"I'd like to see today just what you're capable of."

"Didn't you say my license plate with five sixes was nothing? Let me see how much ability a guy like you, who treasures a piece of junk car like his own life, can actually muster."

Li Guoxing was completely infuriated by Zhou Xing's words.

He gritted his teeth: "Fine!"

"I originally wanted to let you bounce around for a few more days, but since you're so intent on seeking death, I'll satisfy you!"

Li Guoxing directly pulled out his phone and opened his contact list.

Su Xi saw that both sides were truly enraged.

The situation was becoming increasingly grim.

Tensions were at a breaking point.

Her heart skipped a beat; if this continued, the whole city would find out.

"Li Guoxing!"

Su Xi shouted: "This is a conflict between juniors. Are you really going to break the rules and involve other matters?"

"It's not that I'm breaking the rules; he brought all this on himself!"

Li Guoxing sneered and dialed a number on his phone.

"Zhou Xing, let's go."

Su Xi immediately grabbed Zhou Xing's hand and prepared to walk out: "Don't worry, this whole thing started because of me. I'll call my grandfather, and he'll handle it."

"Don't worry about anything else."

"And don't get angry with someone like him; there's absolutely no need. Just treat him like he's a lunatic."

While Li Guoxing was making the call, he suddenly saw Su Xi holding Zhou Xing's hand.

He had been on good terms with the Su Family for many years.

Even with the elders trying to promote their relationship...

...he had never even held her hand.

Especially since he and Su Xi had known each other since childhood and were practically childhood friends.

Yet in the face of this situation, she had unhesitatingly sided with Zhou Xing, someone she had only just met.

Intense jealousy and rage...

...burned away his reason.

Li Guoxing tore away the last shred of his facade.

"Surround them all! No one is allowed to leave until this is settled!"

Li Guoxing said to the people accompanying him.

"Li Guoxing, do you really want to take this to the point of no return?"

Su Xi looked at Li Guoxing coldly: "Fine, I'll call my grandfather right now. We'll see about this!"

With that...

...she also took out her phone, preparing to call her grandfather.

But a hand pressed down on hers.

Su Xi looked up and saw it was Zhou Xing, her eyes filled with a bit of confusion.

"It's fine... let him make the call."

Zhou Xing's expression was calm: "It just so happens I've been a bit bored lately. Finding something to have some fun with is also a good choice."

"If he wants to compare backgrounds, I'll play along!"

"If I don't make him kneel before me and beg for mercy today, I'll write my surname 'Zhou' backward."
