"Who the hell dares to speak to me like that?"
Hearing the mockery in Song Qiao's words, Xu Shao clenched his fists tightly.
Turning his head with a dark expression, he pointed at Song Qiao's nose and roared.
"I've always been like this... Wait! Is that you?"
The moment he saw Song Qiao, Xu Shao visibly froze.
The vulgar curses that were about to spill out stopped abruptly, swallowed back down his throat.
Song Qiao looked at Xu Shao and said with a disdainful smile, "Always so arrogant?"
"That's not right, is it, Xu Shao? Last time on the cruise ship, I distinctly remember someone not daring to even fart!"
"Could it be that I mistook you then?"
As he spoke, Song Qiao stood up, walked to the man, and even patted his shoulder.
Feeling the force on his shoulder, Xu Shao's body lurched violently to one side.
His face immediately turned deathly pale, and cold sweat poured from his forehead!
Ever since the conflict with Song Qiao on the cruise ship.
Xu Shao had made up his mind that such a person absolutely could not be provoked!
After all, the terrifying strength Song Qiao had displayed at the time had left a deep impression on him!
Even to this day, it was enough to make Xu Shao feel uneasy.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Song Qiao didn't care what he was thinking. Seeing his prolonged silence, he grew annoyed.
He grabbed Xu Shao's shoulder and said with a cold laugh.
"Your dogs were killed by me! If you really liked those beasts, Xu Shao, I can send you to join them!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shao's entire body trembled violently.
His trembling legs almost gave out, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, even standing required great effort, and he stood rooted to the spot, unsure of what to do.
He never imagined he would encounter Song Qiao in Modu.
This was exactly like running headlong into a muzzle!
No wonder Song Qiao was so confident, waiting calmly for Xu Shao to arrive.
He had anticipated the man's identity and wanted to settle the score in person!
"Xu Shao?" Seeing Xu Shao's persistent silence, the Third Concubine couldn't help but feel confused.
Observing his trembling figure, she assumed he was so enraged that he was shaking and speechless.
The Third Concubine stepped forward, appearing fearless, and with her swollen face, sternly rebuked Song Qiao.
"You scoundrel! Look how angry you've made Xu Shao!"
"Xu Shao is a famous young master from Dijing. How dare you speak to him like that?"
"Get on your knees and apologize at once!"
The more the Third Concubine spoke, the more excited she became, and she began to incite Xu Shao again.
Her clear intention was to use Xu Shao to get rid of Song Qiao!
"Xu Shao, you shouldn't get angry. This kind of person should be sent down to accompany Da Niu in death!"
Hearing this, Xu Shao suddenly jolted awake.
But he could no longer stand by idly.
Because he knew very well that if he angered Song Qiao, this remark could cost him his life!
He spun around abruptly and slapped the Third Concubine across the face.
"Shut your mouth!"
*Slap!*
Not only did the Third Concubine see stars, but Jiang Rou was also stunned on the spot.
What was going on?
Was this an internal conflict?
The Third Concubine's face was already badly swollen, and now, after being fiercely slapped by Xu Shao,
her entire face was torn open, with blood slowly seeping from the cracked skin!
"Xu... Xu Shao, you?"
The Third Concubine stumbled, almost falling over from the blow.
After regaining her balance with difficulty, she clutched her cheek and looked at Xu Shao with a bewildered, confused gaze.
Her pitiable appearance did not elicit much sympathy from Xu Shao.
Xu Shao glared coldly at the Third Concubine and cursed her vehemently.
"Guo Shu, you slut! My dog had an incident at your establishment."
"And now you want to shift the blame onto an innocent gambler?"
"Hey, hey, hey, not entirely innocent," Song Qiao quickly interjected.
"Your dog was killed by me, truly!"
"Da Niu was about to win when I suddenly threw a stone, hitting its hind leg precisely."
"That's how it ended up being bitten to death by the opponent. Xu Shao, why don't you reconsider this matter?"
At least at this moment, Xu Shao appeared very magnanimous.
He waved his hand dismissively and replied with apparent sincerity.
"No need to reconsider! It's just a dog, it's dead, it's dead."
"Do you think I would quibble over such a thing?"
"No, no, no..." Song Qiao quickly raised four fingers to remind him, "There were 4 in total!"
"The remaining three haven't even entered the ring yet..."
Despite his heart bleeding, Xu Shao pointed at the Third Concubine and said righteously.
"It was this woman who unleashed the dogs to attack first, and your actions were in self-defense."
"Not to mention me, even the law wouldn't be able to convict you!"
"I am truly sorry. I was rash and shouted at you without understanding the situation."
"I hope you two will be understanding and forgive me this time?"
The conversation between the two left Jiang Rou and the Third Concubine completely bewildered.
Especially when Xu Shao finally apologized, Jiang Rou belatedly realized what had happened.
This Young Master Xu must have witnessed Song Qiao's abilities and knew he was not to be trifled with!
And Song Qiao seemed to have not had enough of venting his anger last time.
Was he trying to reignite the animosity this time to teach him a lesson?
But Xu Shao was not taking the bait at all. No matter how Song Qiao tried to provoke him, he acted as if Song Qiao was overreacting.
This left Song Qiao with no other recourse.
He casually waved his hand and ordered, "Then hurry up and scram!"
"Yes! Right away."
Xu Shao felt as if he had received a great amnesty. He nodded obsequiously and agreed.
He quickly put wings on his heels and fled as if the devil were chasing him.
Seeing his disheveled appearance, he seemed afraid that if he lingered for another second, he would be buried there!
After Xu Shao left, the Third Concubine was utterly dumbfounded.
Anger surged within her, and she coldly hissed, "I knew this fellow was unreliable!"
As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and called someone.
"Song Qiao must die today!"
