Chapter 88 Out of Expectation
Suddenly, an alert sound came from the mobile phone in Chen Liuhe's pocket. It was a text message.
"Brother, go home." It was sent by Shen Qingwu.
Chen Liuhe frowned a bit and glanced at Zhao Rulong, who kneeled there with a pale face and didn't dare to move at all. He noticed that Zhao's hand was in his pocket, and the mobile phone screen in his pocket lighted up. 
With a playful smile, Chen Liuhe stepped forward: "Take it out."
"Wh...what?" Zhao Rulong was startled and almost cried.
Chen Liuhe smiled without saying a word and his finger made a hook stock as a reminder. Zhao Rulong finally took out the mobile phone in his pocket and handed it to Chen Liuhe resignedly.
Chen Liuhe looked at it and laughed. There was a text message page on the screen.
"Miss Shen, I am wrong. Please help us."
"Miss Shen, Chen Liuhe is horrible. I want to get out of here. Come and save me."
"Miss Shen, Chen Liuhe is so awesome that my dad and the other uncles are like cowards in front of him."
"Miss Shen, someone's gonna die here. I beg you."
There were also several pictures inserted into the series of text messages,  all of which were taken from the scene.
There was no reply from Shen Qingwu, but she sent Chen Liuhe a text message at the last moment.
"Brother, go home." Chen Liuhe understood the meaning of these three words. His little sister didn't say it clearly, because she didn't want to sway his mind. But she also didn't want him to kill people.
"Did he learn to play tricks from you?" Chen Liuhe threw the phone to Zhao Jianglan, who was totally clueless.
When Zhao Jianglan saw it, an undisguised bright smile appeared on his face. The gloominess on his face was completely gone, which was replaced by relief. If Chen Liuhe was not present, he would have given his son a thumbs up.
He knew the Shen family, Chen Liuhe, and Shen Qingwu. And he also knew that it was Chen Liuhe whom Shen Qingwu would listen to and vice versa.
If there was only one person in this world who could make Chen Liuhe change his decision or even give up on his principle, that must be Shen Qingwu!
He didn't expect his son to be so smart. To his surprise, under such circumstances, his son could think of interceding with Shen Qingwu and accidentally won her sympathy.
"Brother Chen, you have wronged me. My son is much stronger than me." Zhao Jianglan said cheerfully and cast an approving look at Zhao Rulong.
"I think you are looking for trouble. Do you want to get your ass kicked?" Chen Liuhe said to Zhao Rulong and then kicked his ass with moderate force. Zhao Rulong fell to the ground, wincing.
Chen Liuhe said impatiently, "Well, stop pretending. If you don't want to kneel, you don't have to. Why pretend to pass out?"
Since his mind had been read, Zhao Rulong, who was sitting on the ground, smirked. He didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Chen Liuhe anymore.
Looking around, Chen Liuhe said to the other little dudes: "Okay, stop kneeling. I really don't have the slightest sense of accomplishment to settle your hash."
All the dandies fell down and sat on the ground. They felt that their legs were so numb that they couldn't stand up. Zeng Xinhua and the others hurried forward and carried their sons onto the sofa to sit.
They had already been distressed by their children's situation for a long time. However, they didn't dare to move until Chen Liuhe gave an order. 
"I beg you. Let go of my dad. I was wrong. It's all my fault. I admit it. I am the one who should be blamed for. Don't kill my dad." Liu Xiaoji, who had been insufferably arrogant before, threw himself down in front of Chen Liuhe and cried for mercy.
Zhao Rulong gritted his teeth and said: "Chen...Uncle Chen, I am the one who stirred up trouble tonight. I tricked them into standing up for me. If you want to punish someone, choose me. I'll accept any form of punishment as long as you can release Liu Xiaoji's father."
"Uncle Chen?" Zhao Jianglan rolled his eyes. Thanks to his unlucky son, he was verbally demoted in seniority again. 
Chen Liuhe looked at those two children jokingly and said with emotion: "Being a dandy is not all about being arrogant. Those who only know being arrogant can only be called scumbags. In fact, to be a dandy requires you to read people and situations. Obviously, you are far from being qualified dandies. As the lowest-level dandies, you won't be taken seriously by others."
"Uncle Chen, you are right. I will definitely learn from you to be a qualified dandy in the future." Zhao Rulong took Chen's word for it and replied obediently. He was completely in awe of Chen Liuhe. Though he was greatly frightened for the day, he finally got to know what a real Mr. Big was like and how to be pretentious. He was impressed by Chen's ability to fool people effortlessly. That controlling power was really domineering!
Chen Liuhe sneered and ignored Zhao Rulong, who felt good about himself. Chen Liuhe said to Su Xiaobai, "Well, let's end this game. Our little girl asked us to go home early."
"Brother Liu, just let him go?" Su Xiaobai said in surprise: "This is not like what you would do. In the past, those who were trampled by you must be trampled to death. If you find it inconvenient to kill him yourself, just tell me. I can shoot him to death, chop him up and use his body to feed dogs, or I can bury him alive to fertilize the soil. Anything you like!"
Hearing this, everyone trembled with fear, and Liu Shaolin was even more frightened. He said: "You can't kill me. I'm a person of high rank. Killing me is no small matter, and you will get into trouble!"
Su Xiaobai snorted coldly, looked at Liu Shaolin with contempt, and said: "Do you really believe you are somebody? Face it! You are just nobody. We've killed dozens of people who are much more powerful than you. You are really nothing in our eyes."
Su Xiaobai added: "I am not bragging. Killing you is as easy as killing a dog. If you die, you will die in vain because your death will not result in any consequence."
Chen Liuhe shook his head: "Let go of him. Killing such a scum will not bring you a sense of accomplishment. Besides, that is what our little sister wants."
"Is that what our little sister wants?" Su Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and immediately took off his foot from Liu Shaolin's thigh wound, and said to him, "I never thought of killing you tonight, remember?"
This sudden change in their attitudes shocked everyone.
Little sister? Who was she and how powerful was she? How could she prevent these two monsters from killing by just sending a text message and conveying her intention? It seemed that they were even afraid of her.
Zeng Xinhua and the others were at a loss. They couldn't imagine what kind of background Chen Liuhe had and how many movers and shakers he was connected to.
On the surface, Su Xiaobai was only an officer with the rank of major. He relied on the resources of the army to suppress Liu Shaolin for the moment. In fact, in terms of social status, he was not much higher than Liu Shaolin, and he may not be as welcome as Liu Shaolin.
But this was only superficial. What they saw was something more substantial. Judging from his age, tone, style, and the fact that he did not take Liu Shaolin seriously, this young officer couldn't be an ordinary person.
Perhaps his background was astonishing. Otherwise, why would he say that killing Liu Shaolin was as simple as killing a dog?
They believed that there should be no exaggeration in that remark.
That alone was informative enough.
And Chen Liuhe, a young man to whom Su Xiaobai was quite respectful, may have an even more overwhelming background. Not to mention their mysterious little sister.
Thinking of this, Zeng Xinhua and the others gasped in cold air and felt a tingling in their hearts, which was the reaction of being severely frightened.
They dared not imagine what would have happened if they hadn't followed Zhao Jianglan's advice just now. With the limited amount of money and resources they had, they were likely to be wiped out in a snap of a finger. Thinking about this, they were in a cold sweat. They inevitably became kind of sentimental after having a close brush with death. They looked at Zhao Jianglan in unison, and their eyes were full of gratitude. They owed him a lot this time!
Chen Liuhe didn't care what these small potatoes were thinking. He looked at Liu Shaolin, who was about to collapse like a dead dog, and said, "Congratulations! Your life has been spared."
After a pause, he said: "I have the abilities and guts to kill you. But there is someone who doesn't want me to have your blood on my hand. That's all.
I don't care whether you admit defeat or not. If you want to seek revenge after you recover from injuries, it is fine for me. But next time, I promise you will definitely not be lucky anymore."
Chen Liuhe took out the low-quality cigarettes in his pocket and threw one to Su Xiaobai, then one to Huang Baiwan, and then one to Zhao Jianglan.
As for the others? He totally ignored them. Although his cigarettes were of poor quality, they represented his high status and not everyone had the privilege to take one of them.
Zhao Jianglan didn't know how to smoke, but he still took the cigarette. He lit it up and smoked it. Huang Baiwan smiled from ear to ear. He only felt very honored. The meaning of that cigarette was great enough for him to brag for the rest of his life. 
After spitting out a puff of smoke, Chen Liuhe continued to say to Liu Shaolin, "You're only a deputy secretary now. And the situation won't change even if you are promoted to a higher position. There are some people that you can't afford to offend ever and forever. You might think that I am pretentious. But frankly, it is meaningless for me to pretend in front of you! As for whether you can get over the insult tonight, it has nothing to do with me."
Having finished what he had to say, Chen Liuhe ignored him and asked Qin Ruohan to call Sister Hong in.
After a while, Sister Hong walked in resignedly. Such a scene had almost scared her to death. But she felt reassured to see Chen Liuhe with a detached temperament. Then she was able to keep calm.
That's right! Chen Liuhe at the moment was definitely aloof in her eyes!
"Sister Hong, have someone settle the bill for the drinks in this private room, and don't give any discounts." After a pause, Chen Liuhe added: "By the way, go and get someone to count the total loss of all the things that were broken and smashed in the clubhouse tonight."
Sister Hong followed the order and Qin Ruohan hurriedly interrupted: "The loss of customers and the loss caused by the negative effects brought by this incident should also be included."
Chen Liuhe glanced at her with a laugh, and Qin Ruohan looked back righteously. Naturally, She hated Liu Shaolin who had led his buddies to smash her clubhouse. Since they were claiming compensation, why not ask more? Who would be unhappy to gain more money?
