Chapter 194 Can't Make Change
A moment later, Ding Yu let her arms drop, her phone falling to the ground. Her face was ashen.
"Xiao Yu, how is it?" Yan Hao asked, his heart trembling at the sight.
Ding Yu, with a mournful expression, stammered, "This... this check is real!"
Yan Hao couldn't help but glance at Chen Xuan. This kid was truly a rich man!
Huo Yuhao, meanwhile, was swallowing hard.
He had intended to trick an employee, but he ended up finding himself a boss!
"Boss Gong, can you settle the bill for me now?" Chen Xuan said with a half-smile.
Boss Gong shivered, his face extremely unpleasant. After a long pause, he managed to stammer out, "I... I don't have change for this..."
The twenty-thousand-yuan wine was indeed the shop's prized possession, and its price was exorbitant, but in front of five hundred million, it was nothing.
His total net worth was only in the tens of millions. How could he possibly have change for such a sum?
"Then what should we do? You just told me to pay the bill," Chen Xuan said, touching his nose.
"Consider this a gift to you two," Boss Gong said sheepishly, though it felt like he was losing flesh and blood. He only drank a bottle of this twenty-thousand-yuan wine once a year.
"No, I don't want it. You must give me my change. If you can't provide it today, don't blame me for tearing down your bar!" Chen Xuan said coldly.
Boss Gong was extremely aggrieved. He quickly bowed and apologized to Chen Xuan, "I know I was wrong, please spare me!"
He was almost on his knees. If he had known Chen Xuan was a rich man, he would never have offended him, even if it meant death.
"Hmph!"
Chen Xuan snorted, letting Gong Biao off for the moment. He then turned his gaze to Yan Hao and Ding Yu, saying with a half-smile, "Do I have money to invest in my brother?"
"It's just a few hundred million, what are you showing off about?" Yan Hao's face darkened, and he said coldly.
"Exactly. The Yan family's net worth is twenty billion. For Brother Hao, your money is nothing," Ding Yu said, hands on her hips and pouting, looking utterly clueless about the danger.
Hearing this, Yan Hao's eyes flickered. The Yan family was indeed worth twenty billion, but their cash reserves were probably only a little over a hundred million. To come up with five hundred million would likely require selling assets, but for the sake of face, he said nothing.
"Then can you two leave now? Looking at you two makes me sick,"
Chen Xuan said, too lazy to waste words on them.
Leave?
A cold glint flashed in Yan Hao's eyes. When had he ever been so humiliated?
He turned to Boss Gong and said, "Boss Gong, I know you have some connections in Jiangzhou. I hope you can help me teach him a lesson!"
His Yan family's influence and connections were in the provincial capital, not Jiangzhou, so he could only rely on Boss Gong.
"But..." Gong Biao hesitated. This Chen Xuan didn't seem simple.
His businesses were all in Jiangzhou, not the provincial capital. Offending Chen Xuan for Yan Hao wasn't worth it.
"Boss Gong, I plan to invest over a hundred million to establish a pharmaceutical factory in Jiangzhou. If you're willing to help me, I can give you thirty percent of the company's shares," Yan Hao said.
Gong Biao was tempted.
There were plenty of rich people in Jiangzhou, but not everyone had connections to the underworld. Some people could be beaten up with impunity.
Looking at Chen Xuan, he seemed like a rich fool. Beating him up would be a profitless endeavor, but getting thirty percent of the shares would be a profitable deal.
He found excuses for himself in his heart.
"Thirty percent of the shares, while not much, is still a start. Our Yan family will continue to invest, and its future value will likely reach new heights," Yan Hao added fuel to the fire when he saw Gong Biao was tempted.
Gong Biao gritted his teeth, "Deal!"
Then, Gong Biao called over a group of bouncers and surrounded Chen Xuan and Huo Yuhao.
Seeing this, Ding Yu wore a triumphant smile.
Yan Hao narrowed his eyes, staring at Chen Xuan with a sneer, "Kid, didn't you tell me to scram? Well, I think you'll be the one scrambling later!"
Chen Xuan looked at Boss Gong, "Boss Gong, are you sure you want to help him against me?"
Boss Gong chuckled, "Young man, a man dies for wealth, a bird dies for food. You should understand this principle."
"I advise you to reconsider, or you'll be like the snake that swallows an elephant due to greed," Chen Xuan said calmly.
Boss Gong's expression turned cold, "What right do you have to lecture me? Go!"
At this moment, the men Boss Gong had called rushed forward!
Huo Yuhao had already found an escape route. Seeing the men charging, he immediately grabbed Chen Xuan's arm to flee. However, after only a few steps, he realized he had grabbed nothing but air; he hadn't grabbed Chen Xuan's arm at all.
As he was about to turn back, he suddenly heard a series of piercing screams. He abruptly turned his head and was stunned.
He saw that all the men Boss Gong had called were already subdued by Chen Xuan and lying on the ground, writhing in pain. Boss Gong, kneeling before Chen Xuan, had wet himself.
And Chen Xuan stood there, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
A palpable killing intent radiated from him, making him incredibly formidable.
His ancient, unruffled eyes swept over the crowd. In his eyes, these people seemed no different from ants.
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Gong Biao desperately kowtowed to Chen Xuan, begging for mercy.
It was only now that he understood why Chen Xuan had said what he did earlier.
Chen Xuan stomped on Gong Biao's leg. With a crunch, Gong Biao screamed in pain.
"I broke one of your legs, do you have any complaints?" Chen Xuan asked, looking down at Gong Biao condescendingly.
"No, no..."
Gong Biao endured the intense pain and replied.
Chen Xuan turned and walked over to Yan Hao, "Tell me, how should I punish you two?"
Yan Hao and Ding Yu clung to each other, trembling as they looked at Chen Xuan. They hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be so formidable.
Yan Hao stammered, "You can't touch me, I'm from the Yan family in the provincial capital!"
"What is the Yan family?"
Chen Xuan sneered and directly broke Yan Hao's arm.
Yan Hao screamed, clutching his arm, and glared at Chen Xuan venomously, "You dare to hit me, you're finished, you're finished! The Yan family won't let you go!"
"Is that so? If your Yan family wants to cause trouble for me, then come on over. I'll be waiting for you in Jiangzhou!"
Chen Xuan even took out paper and a pen, wrote down his home address, and threw it at Yan Hao's face.
Yan Hao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had seen arrogant people, but never anyone this arrogant, leaving his home address!
At this moment, a luxury car stopped at the entrance of the bar. Murong Xing and his son Murong Xu quickly entered the bar.
Standing at the entrance, Murong Xing surveyed the crowd, his gaze landing on Chen Xuan, and immediately sharpened. He led Murong Xu and walked over quickly.
"Mr. Chen!"
Murong Xing and Murong Xu cupped their fists in unison.
Yan Hao, who was still trying to threaten Chen Xuan, recognized the people standing before Chen Xuan as members of the Murong family and was immediately rendered speechless.
Before Yan Hao came to Jiangzhou, his father had instructed him that there were two families he absolutely could not offend: first was the Su family, and second was the Murong family. He hadn't expected this guy to be a distinguished guest of the Murong family!
"Why are you here?"
Chen Xuan frowned upon seeing Murong Xing and his son.
Murong Xing forced a smile and said awkwardly, "Mr. Chen, we were blind and underestimated you earlier. We didn't realize you were that distinguished guest. We've come to invite you back."
"No need. I've seen the way your Blue Sky Charity Foundation operates, and there's no need for cooperation," Chen Xuan stated decisively.
Murong Xing and Murong Xu immediately shivered.
If Chen Xuan didn't go back with them, Old Master Murong's anger would surely lead to them being expelled from the Murong family.
"We know we were wrong!" Murong Xing said.
Murong Xu raised his hand and slapped himself a few times, stammering, "Mr. Chen, Grandfather and Murong Meng are waiting for you at the Blue Sky Building. If you don't come back with us, Grandfather will kick us out of the Murong family!"
Chen Xuan frowned upon hearing this.
Old Master Murong?
He didn't seem to have met Old Master Murong before.
Did he blow his cover?
