"Heh heh!"
"Because I'm from a noble family."
Before Xu Chengping could speak, Zhang Shiwen, having calmed himself, sneered twice and said.
"Noble family?" Chen Mo frowned slightly.
Seeing Chen Mo's expression, Zhang Shiwen immediately felt relieved, and his tone became even more smug. "That's right. What our Zhang family sets its sights on, we always obtain. Moreover, even if our Zhang family doesn't act, other noble families will. By then, you won't get a single cent, and you might even lose your life."
Chen Mo sneered, "So you mean I should thank you?"
"Naturally. Otherwise, why do you think this Boss Xu isn't contacting you and is instead selling this prescription to me?" Zhang Shiwen said mockingly.
Chen Mo turned his gaze to Xu Chengping.
Xu Chengping could only explain, "Mr. Chen, I was worried you would provoke people from noble families. We are just ordinary people, and noble families are not something we can afford to offend."
"Heh heh!"
Chen Mo sneered, "Noble families, are they really that terrifying?"
Xu Chengping nodded seriously.
Chen Mo's expression darkened. "But these so-called noble families are nothing but trash in my eyes! Boss Xu, no one can lay their hands on my things. I hope you remember this."
Chen Mo's tone was impolite, clearly showing his disdain for Xu Chengping's weakness.
Xu Chengping looked bitter. He hadn't expected that Chen Mo would end up interacting with people from noble families.
Zhang Shiwen couldn't help but mock, "Kid, you're quite the show-off. Noble families are trash in your eyes? Do you know that just for these words, you deserve to die ten thousand times over!"
Chen Mo's icy gaze fell on Zhang Shiwen, and he retorted, "Then do you know what fate awaits those who try to lay their hands on my things?"
Zhang Shiwen's face twitched.
This was the first time he had encountered someone who didn't put noble families in his eyes.
Due to Chen Mo's previous intimidation, Zhang Shiwen dared not speak any more arrogant words and could only bring up the noble family behind him.
"Kid, let me tell you, I'm from the Zhang family of Jianghai City. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I guarantee..."
"Slap!"
Just as Zhang Shiwen was halfway through his sentence, Chen Mo raised his hand and slapped him across the face.
"Ouch!"
Zhang Shiwen stumbled and fell to the ground.
A broken tooth, mixed with blood, was spat out.
Chen Mo stepped forward two more paces and asked indifferently, "What were you guaranteeing just now?"
When had Zhang Shiwen ever been hit? Outside, he was always the one bullying others; he had never suffered such a loss.
Enraged, Zhang Shiwen glared at Chen Mo, "Kid, you dare to hit me? Let me tell you, you're dead!"
"Bang!"
Chen Mo kicked him again, directly in the chest.
"Crack!"
Zhang Shiwen clearly heard the sound of his ribs breaking.
"Aow!"
With a scream, Zhang Shiwen's body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the wall!
Zhang Shiwen felt his vision go black, and pain made his veins bulge.
However, Zhang Shiwen dared not move now, because any movement sent a sharp pain through his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"You said I'm dead? I'd like to hear how I'm supposed to die?" Chen Mo slowly walked up to Zhang Shiwen.
Xu Chengping behind him watched with a pounding heart.
He knew that this time, they were finished.
They probably wouldn't be able to stay in Longhua City anymore.
Zhang Shiwen no longer dared to utter such arrogant words; he didn't want to lose his life here.
"Brother, I, I was wrong." Zhang Shiwen began to beg for mercy.
"Slap!"
Chen Mo raised his hand and slapped Zhang Shiwen across the face.
Zhang Shiwen wanted to cry but had no tears, looking at Chen Mo with a wronged expression.
He had already apologized, and he didn't understand why Chen Mo still hit him.
Chen Mo pointed at Xu Xiaohui. "You were the one who slapped her face, right?"
Zhang Shiwen nodded blankly.
Chen Mo said calmly, "This slap is for him."
Then he asked, "Do you have any objections?"
How could Zhang Shiwen dare to have objections? He quickly shook his head.
He had decided that once he left here, he would definitely find someone to kill this ignorant brat.
But he didn't know that Chen Mo had already anticipated his thoughts.
"Are you thinking that after you leave here, you'll find someone to get rid of me, or perhaps to regain your noble family's honor?" Chen Mo asked.
Zhang Shiwen was startled and frantically shook his head, "No, no, no, I, I didn't think that!"
Chen Mo, however, smiled. "Don't worry, I don't mind you thinking that. But it won't be so easy for you to leave here today."
Zhang Shiwen was horrified. "Brother, I've already admitted my mistake, and you've beaten me like this. Just let me go."
"Don't worry, I absolutely won't retaliate when I get back, I swear!"
"Also, if you injure me further, I'm afraid the people from my noble family will find out when I return, and won't that cause you more trouble?"
Chen Mo, however, smiled faintly. "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of trouble. Today, I want to make your noble families give up the idea of coveting my prescriptions."
"Call your family and tell them to prepare ten billion to ransom you. Otherwise, I'll break your limbs and turn you into a cripple."
"What?! Ten billion!" Zhang Shiwen was so shocked his eyeballs almost fell out.
His injuries were also aggravated, causing him to grimace in pain.
"Slap!"
Chen Mo slapped Zhang Shiwen across the face again.
This time, Zhang Shiwen completely burst into tears, his face now crooked from the slaps.
"Make the call, did you hear me?" Chen Mo questioned coldly.
"I'll call, I'll call." Zhang Shiwen humiliatingly took out his phone.
Soon, the call was made.
This call was to his father.
"Hello, Ah Wen, how is it? Did you get the prescription? I've already informed the family head about this. If the prescription is secured, we can get a ten percent profit," a middle-aged man's voice came through the phone.
"Dad, the thing, I didn't get the thing." Zhang Shiwen's voice had changed, and he spoke indistinctly.
"Didn't get it? What? That brat still dares to refuse?" The middle-aged man's tone became stern.
However, the middle-aged man also noticed that Zhang Shiwen's voice sounded strange and asked, "What's wrong with your voice?"
"Dad, my mouth was beaten crooked, and my teeth were knocked out, so my speech is slurred." Zhang Shiwen said this almost in tears.
"What?!"
"How dare he! Who is it? Who dares to hit my son! I think he's tired of living! Where are you now?!" The middle-aged man's furious roar came from the phone.
"I'm at ShenZhiTang. They said, they said they want you to pay ten billion to save me. If not, they'll cripple me for life."
