Chapter 475: Waiting to Die
Xu Yang furrowed his brow.
This situation was really tricky to deal with.
As the two were discussing, Hu Jialang had already arrived at another hotel and changed into a different set of clothes.
Truth be told, Hu Jialang still felt a bit scared.
He was not afraid of being arrested by the police.
Because he knew he hadn't actually accomplished anything, the problem was not that serious.
What really concerned him was the axe from before, which had almost cleaved into his forehead.
If it had hit him, he would have been finished.
He was a third-generation heir, with endless wealth and a bright future ahead. It would have been extremely frustrating to die by an axe.
"Jialang, don't worry," said Qiu Xinhui as he poured a cup of hot water for Hu Jialang. Seeing Hu Jialang's scared expression and the slight tremble in his hand as he received the water, he tried to reassure him. "Your grandfather has already spoken to me, telling you not to bother with that kid—he might have some clout in the mainland, but he can't really do anything to you."
"I'm not worried, I just feel it's such a pity. I didn't get that woman. You haven't seen her; you don't know how beautiful she is. I'm telling you, she's more beautiful than any other woman I've ever been with. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done it. I need to find a way to get her," said Hu Jialang.
Qiu Xinhui smiled helplessly.
Hu Jialang was good in many ways, but his lust was too strong.
Whenever he saw a beautiful woman, he always thought about getting her.
Many female celebrities in Harbor City had been involved with Hu Jialang.
"You just said that kid has some power—who is he?" asked Hu Jialang as he took a sip of the hot water.
"Have you heard of the hotpot brand Spicy Bottom?" Qiu Xinhui asked.
"I've heard of it. They say the service is top-notch, and it's growing very fast. It's now valued at tens of billions. I wanted to try it out when I came to Li City," replied Hu Jialang.
"That kid is Xu Yang, the boss of Spicy Bottom," revealed Qiu Xinhui.
"What, he's Xu Yang?" Hu Jialang was shocked.
He had seen reports about the Spicy Bottom boss—he was a self-made billionaire.
He was also chummy with Wang Xiaocong and hobnobbed with tycoon Zhang Yimin.
He had originally thought Xu Yang was at most a wealthy second-generation heir, but he turned out to be much more impressive.
However, the thought of nearly getting the wife of the Spicy Bottom boss excited him.
"No, I must get his wife!" Hu Jialang's eyes shone with excitement.
He wasn't afraid of Xu Yang at all. Even if Xu Yang was a billionaire with some influence, he was nothing compared to his grandfather.
"If you do that kind of thing again, it could get very complicated. Better not to do it," Qiu Xinhui advised helplessly.
"Complicated?" Hu Jialang brushed off the concern. "Since grandpa said that kid can't do anything to me, even if I get his wife, what can he do to me!"
He put down his cup, stood up, and said, "Get me a car. I'm going to find that kid right now. He didn't know who I was before, but now that he does, maybe he will let me sleep with his wife, hahaha!"
Qiu Xinhui was very helpless, but remembering what Hu Yaorong had said, he was not too worried that Xu Yang could do anything to Hu Jialang, so he prepared a car for him.
Hu Jialang drove back to the hotel.
The incident was only known to the security staff involved in the attempted apprehension and the hotel management; others in the hotel were unaware.
Moreover, Hu Jialang had a room in the hotel, so the security did not stop him when they saw him.
Since the police hadn't arrested anyone, there was nothing they could do to stop him.
So, Hu Jialang swaggered up to Xu Yang's room door and knocked.
When Xu Yang opened the door and saw it was Hu Jialang, his eyes narrowed: "What are you doing here?"
Hu Jialang chuckled, "Nothing much, just checking on your wife. Has she woken up?"
A flash of cold light appeared in Xu Yang's eyes: "You are looking for trouble!"
Hu Jialang scoffed dismissively: "Don't talk like that. If you could do anything to me, I wouldn't be here. I know who you are, and you surely know who I am. Let's cut to the chase, I've taken a fancy to your wife. Let me have a go at her, and when you expand your business to Harbor City, I can have my grandfather help you!"
Xu Yang really wanted to punch Hu Jialang's head in, but he unclenched his fist and took a deep breath, "You think I really can't do anything to you, right?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Hu Jialang said matter-of-factly, "How about it, your wife is so pretty, why don't you let me have a go? Or maybe we can share?"
Xu Yang's forehead vein throbbed, but he suddenly smiled, "You're wrong, I can do something to you, I'm just preparing to make you pay a price you can't bear!"
Hu Jialang sneered dismissively, about to speak.
Just then, someone came up behind him and slapped the back of his head hard.
Hu Jialang winced in pain, fuming with rage.
Dammit, someone actually had the guts to hit him, as if the world had turned upside down.
"You're courting death!"
He turned around, caught up with the person trying to run in two steps, threw a hook punch, and knocked the person out cold on the ground.
"Damn it, to think someone dare hit me, they really don't want to live!"
Hu Jialang snorted disdainfully and was about to continue talking to Xu Yang.
But then he saw several police officers coming out of the elevator, who had just witnessed him hitting someone. Two officers rushed over, pushed him to the ground, and put handcuffs on him.
A police officer immediately checked the man on the ground and called for an ambulance.
They were nearby patrolling officers who had received a report of a brawl at this location. They came up to check and had indeed found it to be true.
Handcuffed, Hu Jialang came to a realization.
This was a trap set by Xu Yang, the person who hit him had been planted by Xu Yang.
The police were surely notified by Xu Yang as well, with the intent to get him locked up.
However, Hu Jialang was not worried.
He had just knocked that person out; it was nothing serious.
In such cases, at most he would need to pay a fine.
Maybe Qiu Xinhui would come with a few lawyers and demand his release in his capacity as an investor, perhaps even waiving the fine.
To be honest, he found Xu Yang's method of dealing with him quite childish.
He really wondered how someone like Xu Yang had become a billionaire—it must have been pure luck.
Thinking this, he smiled at Xu Yang, "Kid, don't get cocky. I've set my sights on your wife, and I will definitely get her!"
"You won't have the chance, just wait for your death," Xu Yang scoffed and shut the door.
The police took Hu Jialang away.
In the car heading to the station, Hu Jialang's cell phone rang.
"Officer, I need to take this call," Hu Jialang said.
The officer took out the cell phone, answered it, and the person on the other end claimed to be Hu Jialang's lawyer wanting to speak with him.
The officer handed the cell phone to Hu Jialang.
The caller was Qiu Xinhui, who sighed helplessly, "Why did you hit someone again?"
Hu Jialang replied nonchalantly, "So I hit someone, what's the big deal? Come to the station and bail me out."
Qiu Xinhui replied, "I'm on my way with people now. Don't answer any questions before we get there."
Hu Jialang smiled, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
After hanging up, a smug smile spread across Hu Jialang's face.
He was thinking about the look on Xu Yang's face when he would show up again after getting out, wondering how Xu Yang would react.
The thought made him happy.
At that moment, the officer's phone rang, and after the call, his expression changed drastically.
After hanging up, the officer looked at Hu Jialang and said coldly, "Forget about your lawyer getting you out!"
