    36: Chapter 30 Do you dare to move against your benefactor?

    “Benefactor, Wang Hao has finally found you!”

    The entire scene fell silent.

    The people Wang Hao brought were all stunned.

    Weren’t they supposed to fight?

    What was happening?

    Monkey was dumbfounded.

    What was this situation?

    Why was his boss kneeling before this young man, and willingly so?

    Damn, was he going blind?

    Zhao Wenbin was shocked too.

    This plot development didn’t seem right.

    Wasn’t it supposed to be Li Chen beaten half to death and then kneeling to beg for mercy?

    How had the underworld boss ended up kneeling before Li Chen instead?

    Li Chen was also startled.

    This guy really was decisive.

    Li Chen sat back down in his chair, leisurely watching Wang Hao, “I’ve never helped you.

    Why call me benefactor?”

    Wang Hao’s face was earnest, “If the benefactor hadn’t acted that day, Wang Hao would have been long dead.

    Without that day, there would be no Wang Hao today.

    Even if the benefactor feels it was just a minor effort, to Wang Hao, it’s a scene I will remember all my life.”

    Wang Hao remembered that night, Li Chen single-handedly annihilated the entire Axe Gang.

    Except for himself, no one knew how such a formidable gang in Linchuan City had suddenly disappeared overnight.

    The unassuming young man before him was too terrifying, especially the moment when Tiger had pulled out a handgun, had been deeply etched in Wang Hao’s mind.

    He could dodge bullets – was such a person ordinary?

    Moreover, once Wang Hao knew the Axe Gang had been wiped out, he immediately gathered a new group of followers and quickly took over all territories of the Axe Gang, drastically changing the underworld landscape in Linchuan City overnight.

    Tiger disappeared, replaced by Wang Hao, and with the previous territory, Wang Hao’s power was enough to rank in the top three in Linchuan City.

    In just a few days, Wang Hao’s life had dramatic ups and downs, but he was clear that without Li Chen’s intervention that day, he would have long been dead.

    Moreover, even as the top gang in Linchuan City, Li Chen could wipe him out in the blink of an eye.

    Both personally and logically, whether it was a personal favor or for the future development of his gang, if he could connect with Li Chen, that would be most beneficial.

    “What are you all doing standing there?” Wang Hao suddenly turned around, his expression fierce, “Isn’t my benefactor also your benefactor?

    Kneel down!”

    The gangsters were all stunned, their minds seemingly frozen.

    They looked at each other in confusion.

    “Anyone who refuses to kneel will be dealt with by the gang law when we return!”

    Wang Hao shouted angrily.

    At this, the brought gangsters immediately knelt down without hesitation, filling up the area near the 9th floor stairwell.

    Seeing those gangsters kneeling was quite a sight, but Monkey and Zhao Wenbin, who had not yet kneeled, appeared somewhat at a loss, their faces showing confusion.

    Fear was evident on Zhao Wenbin’s face.

    The developments of the day were completely beyond his expectations, and he had a feeling that leaving Lin’s Group today might be problematic.

    “Gulp”

    Zhao Wenbin swallowed, suddenly regretting offending Li Chen.

    The only two still standing were Monkey and Zhao Wenbin; Wang Hao’s expression darkened.

    Seeing Wang Hao’s look, Monkey felt a chill in his heart and quickly knelt down, leaving Zhao Wenbin standing alone.

    I’m not his subordinate; I shouldn’t need to kneel, right?

    Zhao Wenbin was very anxious, while Wang Hao said sharply, “Do you think you can look down on me?

    I don’t care who you are, my benefactor is here, you better kneel down, or you know what the consequences are!”

    “Thud”

    Zhao Wenbin was terrified, and without needing another word, he immediately knelt down, feeling sweat drench his face.

    He might be facing his end today.

    “Benefactor, well met!”

    Wang Hao said loudly, then kowtowed.

    “Benefactor, well met!” the gangsters also immediately followed with a kowtow.

    The deafening voices stunned the perfumers who were peeking from the lab, wondering about Li Chen’s background.

    Why did the underworld fear him so?

    A security guard who was secretly observing swallowed nervously and then picked up the walkie-talkie, “Captain, no need to worry, everything is secure on the 9th floor.”

    Really clever, Li Chen observed Wang Hao once more.

    This man before him was extremely smart, but this move was indeed very effective; it wasn’t realistic for Li Chen to strike now.

    “Alright, alright.” Li Chen waved his hand, “Everyone stand up.”

    Wang Hao and the others stood up.

    Li Chen pointed to Monkey and Zhao Wenbin, “In fact, I have no feud with you guys, but these two always cause me trouble.

    If I don’t deal with them, I’m afraid troubles will keep coming.”

    Wang Hao turned around, immediately changing his expression, “Damn, you dare to mess with my benefactor?

    Come over here!”

    Immediately, a few gangsters pushed Monkey and Zhao Wenbin forward.

    It’s over, it’s over!

    Zhao Wenbin was breaking out in sweat, at this moment that seemingly smiling face of Li Chen looking at him appeared devilish.

    Monkey was also terrified.

    Wasn’t this guy without significant background?

    Damn, his own boss had to comply obediently, calling this no significant background?

    Zhao Wenbin really screwed me over.

    As the two were pushed forward, Wang Hao lashed out with a kick, “Damn, you made a mistake and still need me to teach you what to do?”

    Monkey took the kick, tumbling to the ground, but quickly scrambled up and knelt, his hands fiercely slapping his own face.

    “Benefactor, I was blind to not recognize your greatness.

    Please disregard the words I said earlier!” Monkey kept hitting his face hard with his hands.

    “Please, benefactor, disregard the minor’s past actions.

    Monkey was previously speaking nonsense!”

    Li Chen watched as Monkey hit himself, his strikes indeed quite forceful, turning his cheeks red after just a few hits.

    “Benefactor, it’s all this guy’s fault!

    He asked me to teach a colleague a lesson, promised me 3000 bucks afterward, benefactor, I was blinded by money, I deserve to die, I deserve to die.” He slapped his face repeatedly.

    Wang Hao snorted coldly and kicked him again, “Be smarter in the future, and don’t get yourself involved when you’re in the underworld.”

    When that kick landed, a hint of fresh blood appeared at the corner of Monkey’s mouth.

    “Benefactor, look, Monkey recognized his mistake, didn’t he ...” Wang Hao asked respectfully towards Li Chen, but when he saw Li Chen looking at him with a half-smile, a sudden shock gripped his heart, and he quickly added, “If Benefactor isn’t satisfied, I’ll hand him over to you for punishment!”

    Upon hearing this, Monkey’s eyes immediately brimmed with fear.

    Li Chen waved his hand, “How you handle your gang members is none of my business.

    He’s just doing his job, and since he understands now, let it be.”

    Relief washed over both Monkey and Wang Hao upon hearing this.

    “Aren’t you going to thank the benefactor?” Wang Hao turned back and glared.

    “Thank you, Benefactor, thank you, Benefactor,” Monkey hurriedly said.

    Li Chen looked towards Zhao Wenbin, who was pale-faced, with a bandage over his nose and terror filling his eyes, his legs uncontrollably shaking.

    “How is it, Minister Zhao, do you still want to fire me?” Li Chen asked calmly.

    “No, no,” Zhao Wenbin’s head shook like a tambourine, “If anyone is getting fired, it should be me by you.”

    “Now, how should that be possible?

    You are the HR Minister.”

    Meanwhile, Wang Hao snorted heavily through his nose, “Dare to offend my benefactor, **** it, you are seeking death!”

    Wang Hao kicked out, landing a blow on Zhao Wenbin’s stomach, and in an instant, Zhao Wenbin was sent flying to the ground.

    “Hold him up!” Wang Hao commanded coldly.

    The few thugs hurriedly propped up Wang Hao, restraining his hands behind his back, rendering him motionless.

    “**** it, today I’ll beat you to death for my Benefactor!” After saying this, Wang Hao kicked again, and Zhao Wenbin started screaming like he was being slaughtered.

    Since Zhao wasn’t one of his own, Wang Hao struck with extra zeal, reasoning that as long as Zhao didn’t die, how long he spent in the hospital didn’t concern him.

    “Li Chen, Li Chen, Brother Cheen, Brother Cheen, stop hitting me, I was wrong.” Zhao Wenbin began shouting loudly, but was abruptly met with a slap across his face.

    “Brother Cheen, Brother Cheen, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have offended you, I shouldn’t have been so narrow-minded, I shouldn’t call people to deal with you.” Zhao Wenbin was nearly crying, today was simply a nightmare.

    Li Chen acted as though he hadn’t heard anything and closed his eyes instead.

    Zhao Wenbin felt like his body was falling apart and seeing Li Chen close his eyes, panic filled him, his heart engulfed by endless fear.

    “Fuck, are you scared shitless?” Wang Hao frowned sharply, noticing a wet streak in the middle of Zhao’s pants, a pissy odor spreading around him.

    “Brother Cheen, Brother Cheen, please let me go, I have elderly and young ones at home, I’m still young, I don’t want to die.” Zhao Wenbin’s snot and tears became indistinguishable, “Brother Cheen, I shouldn’t have pursued President Lin, I shouldn’t have touched your woman, I, Zhao Wenbin, was blind to your greatness, please let me go, I won’t dare to offend you again.”

    Just then, Li Chen’s indifferent voice came, “What is my relationship with Lin Yi?”

    Zhao was startled, hastily saying, “A marital relationship, a marital relationship, I will absolutely not touch her again.”

    “Hmm?” Li Chen frowned.

    Seeing Li Chen like this, Zhao was terrified, quickly correcting himself, “A subordinate relationship, President Lin is your superior, you are President Lin’s subordinate.”

    “Hmm?” Li Chen’s frown deepened.

    Zhao was about to cry, what was he supposed to answer now?

    “I don’t know what your relationship with President Lin is, I don’t know anything.” Zhao was on the verge of crying.

    “That’s right, you don’t know anything.” Li Chen opened his eyes, “I don’t want to see any trace of you around Lin Yi ever again.”

    “Rest assured, assured, I will resign immediately once I get back.” Zhao nodded like a pecking chick, but then he saw that Li Chen’s expression was off again.

    “Did I ask you to resign?” Li Chen said calmly, “If anything bad or unexpected happens to Lin’s Group, you should know the consequences.”

    Not allowed to resign, yet still facing this scourge, how am I supposed to live?

    Zhao Wenbin wanted to cry but dared not offend Li Chen, so he could only agree.

    “Also, what happened today?” Li Chen asked.

    “Brother Cheen, rest assured, nothing happened,” Zhao quickly said.

    “Then what happened to these injuries of yours?”

    “These injuries happened when I accidentally fell on the stairs, it was just me being careless,” Zhao hastily replied.

    Seeing that Li Chen was satisfied, Wang Hao signalled his men to let Zhao go, “Get the **** out, if you dare to offend my Benefactor again, I’ll cripple you!”

    Zhao Wenbin scurried away like he’d been granted a huge reprieve, fleeing towards the staircase.

    After finishing up, Wang Hao saw Li Chen turn and walk towards the direction of the laboratory.

    “Benefactor?

    Benefactor?” Wang Hao called out loudly.

    “You go too, I don’t know you,” Li Chen’s voice came from afar.

    “What?”

    Wang Hao was dumbfounded.
