"So, should I call you Su Xuan? Or perhaps... Su Xuan?" The voice on the phone was extremely cold and shrouded in an indescribable mystery. "What’s your relationship with Zhai Dean?" Su Xuan asked calmly. He asked this because the person on the other end had used his alias, Su Xuan. He had only ever used that name at the pyramid scheme’s hideout. From this, he speculated that the caller must have a significant connection to Zhai Dean. "Heh, you’re a clever one, you figured it out right away," the person sneered, enunciating every word. "I am Zhai Dean’s elder brother, Zhai Defeng!" "Su Xuan, my little brother was arrested because of you. As his big brother, that makes me very angry!" "Well, I hope you cheer up soon." "If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. I need to get back to my DiDi driving." "You son of a... Can’t you take this seriously!" Zhai Defeng was frustrated. He thought his opening was chilling and full of killing intent, but the moment he started talking to Su Xuan, the entire tone had shifted into something ridiculous. "If you have something to say, say it," Su Xuan said flatly. Zhai Defeng fell silent for a few seconds, presumably to recompose himself. Then, his voice turned cold again. "The crime my brother committed was too severe, and the amount of money involved was too large. He’ll never get out in this lifetime, and he might even get the bullet. So, a grudge is now officially set between us!" "Times have changed," Su Xuan replied. "Death row inmates aren’t shot anymore. They use lethal injection now." "That commendation banner you received today was quite pretty, wasn’t it? I personally watched that girl deliver it to you in her police car!" The implication was clear: he knew where Su Xuan lived. "Do you like it? Want one for yourself?" Hearing this, Zhai Defeng was once again at a loss for words. What the hell would I want that thing for? That banner was dyed red with my brother’s life! "Su Xuan, just you wait! You’ll pay for my brother’s life with your own!" Zhai Defeng snarled, nearly at his wits’ end. With that, he hung up. "Tsk, what an amateur. Completely ignorant of the law," Su Xuan muttered to himself, curling his lip. "Still stuck on old-fashioned revenge. He should really go listen to Professor Luo Xiang’s law lectures on that video site." He then called Zhong Huilan and told her what had happened. "Xiao Su, we’ve already looked into Zhai Dean’s background. He does have an older brother named Zhai Defeng," Zhong Huilan confirmed. "But his brother isn’t in the country. He emigrated to Thailand over a decade ago." "What does he do in Thailand?" Su Xuan asked. "We don’t know yet," she responded, "but we will definitely investigate, especially since he has threatened you." "Will Zhai Dean get the death penalty?" Su Xuan asked. This was an important question. If Zhai Dean was indeed sentenced to death, the feud between him and Zhai Defeng would likely be a fight to the death. "Yes!" Zhong Huilan said firmly. "Back when he first established that pyramid scheme, he killed two people who defied him. His secretary, Song, personally confessed to this. He’s finished!" "Looks feud with his brother, Zhai Defeng, really is to the death," Su Xuan said. "Xiao Su, you must be careful. Call us immediately if anything happens," Zhong Huilan urged. After hanging up, Su Xuan closed his eyes and sat in the car for a moment before opening the DiDi app to continue taking orders. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵 Let them come. I’ll handle whatever they throw at me. I’m not afraid. Su Xuan immediately started the car and drove to pick up the passengers. This time, it was a couple. The woman was in her twenties and reasonably attractive. The man was less so; he looked to be in his thirties, with a severely receding hairline, pale lips, and seemed to lack vitality. As soon as they got in the car, the woman snuggled into the man’s embrace. "Honey, will you really love me for a lifetime?" "No, I won’t," the man said. "What? Why not?" The woman immediately pulled away from him, pouting. "Because I’ll love you for two lifetimes, three lifetimes! I’ll love you for all of eternity. A single lifetime is definitely not enough!" the man declared with a straight face. "Oh, you’re so bad! You scared me!" The woman gave him a playful punch before sweetly nestling back into his arms. The two began kissing. Seriously? Can you two stop with the public displays of affection? A DiDi car is still a public space! While they were stopped at a red light, the woman said, "Honey, we have our marriage license, we’ve taken our wedding photos, and we’ve set the date. Shouldn’t we book a hotel for the reception now?" "Of course we should!" The man stroked her hair. "The problem is, the date we chose is extremely auspicious. A lot of other couples are getting married that day. I’ve already asked several hotels, and none of them have any availability." "Which ones did you ask?" the female passenger inquired. "I won’t name them specifically, but they were all four and five-star hotels. I’m determined to make our wedding reception a grand affair that will make all our friends and relatives envious!" "Honey, you’re so good to me!" "Of course! You didn’t even ask me for a bride price, and you bought our marital home. How could I possibly be stingy?" Hearing this, Su Xuan felt a surge of respect for the woman. Girls like her were truly rare these days. It was also clear that the man truly loved her. This world was a strange place; true love was so often measured by material things. The man was probably telling the truth, too. If they had picked a popular wedding date, finding a good hotel would indeed be difficult. Maybe I should help this couple out? Su Xuan couldn’t help but think. But then, something bizarre happened. "Babe, what do you think of the Lycar Hotel?" the man suddenly asked. "The Lycar? That’s a super five-star hotel!" the woman exclaimed. "I went there for dinner with my friends once! Its facilities are so much better than a regular five-star hotel! Walking in there is like entering a palace. Everything is gilded and grand, the epitome of class and luxury. They even have foreign waiters who greet you with ’Welcome!’ It makes you feel so distinguished. If we could have our reception there, I’d be the first to agree!" The woman clearly knew the Lycar and praised it to the heavens. As the owner of the hotel, Su Xuan was naturally delighted to hear such high praise and felt even more inclined to help them. "Hehe," the man chuckled, suddenly leaning in conspiratorially. "I’ll let you in on a little secret. The owner of the Lycar is a good friend of mine! All I have to do is make one phone call, and he’ll definitely get everything arranged for us!" Who the hell are you? I don’t know you! The man picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Hey, bro, I need you to do me a favor..." Su Xuan glanced at his own phone. It wasn’t ringing. He was suddenly beginning to understand what kind of man this was...
