Did Young Master Offend Someone He Shouldn't Have?

Yundian Club.

"Young Master Xu, please take care. We look forward to your next visit..."

The club manager personally escorted Xu Yiming to the entrance, watching him get into the car before turning back inside.

By now, Xu Yiming was somewhat tipsy. He said to the driver, "Old Liu, take me home."

"Very well, Young Master!"

Xu Yiming's driver acknowledged and started the car...

Before long, the car entered an upscale villa district and soon stopped in front of a standalone villa.

The driver got out, hurriedly opened the door for Xu Yiming, and moved to support him inside. But Xu Yiming waved him off, saying, "Alright, Old Liu, you can go. I'll go in myself."

"Ei, fine. Then... Young Master, take care."

The driver replied, but he still watched until Xu Yiming entered the villa before leaving...

When Xu Yiming stepped inside, he saw his father, Xu Shengchuan, chatting and laughing in the living room with an old man dressed in a white linen shirt.

He jolted, most of his drunkenness evaporating. He quickly walked over respectfully and said, "Dad, I'm back..."

Xu Shengchuan glanced at Xu Yiming upon hearing this. Seeing his son's drunken appearance and the strong smell of alcohol wafting from him, he frowned and scolded coldly, "Every day you just go out carousing and fooling around! Wasn't the last time you drove drunk and killed someone lesson enough for you?"

Scolded by his father, Xu Yiming couldn't help muttering, "Didn't you assign Old Liu to me? I haven't driven myself again."

"Besides, it was just one person I killed. Spending a bit of money to smooth it over is enough..."

Hearing this, Xu Shengchuan's eyes widened, and he was furious: "You still have the nerve to say that? All you do every day is cause me trouble! If that last drunk-driving manslaughter case of yours can't be settled, and you can't get the victim's Letter of Understanding, you really will go to jail!"

Xu Shengchuan took a long breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and asked coldly, "Also, you said before that you'd found someone to handle this matter. How's it going now? Have you gotten the other party's Letter of Understanding?"

Xu Yiming said quietly, "Dad, well... I haven't gotten the Letter of Understanding yet. But I believe it should be soon. I had Jiang Long handle it for me."

"With Jiang Long's methods, a little girl like that won't be able to hold out for long."

"Jiang Long?"

Xu Shengchuan frowned again, glancing at Xu Yiming. "Didn't I tell you before to stay away from Jiang Long and his bunch?"

"Why are you still having him handle this!"

Xu Yiming said sheepishly, "It's just that that little girl doesn't know what's good for her. I sent someone straight to her with money, but she refused a toast only to drink a forfeit—she stubbornly refused to sign the Letter of Understanding."

"So I had no choice but to get Jiang Long involved."

After a pause, Xu Yiming added, "Dad, what's the big deal about me using Jiang Long? He was originally a subordinate you built up. Even though you've cut ties with him now and he's independent, at the end of the day, he's still one of our own people!"

Bang—

"You rebellious son!"

Xu Shengchuan slammed the table hard, glaring at Xu Yiming, and said angrily, "Can't you use your brain for once, huh!? It's true that I built Jiang Long up, but why did I cut ties with him before?"

"Times have changed. Since we've gone legitimate, our identity now is private entrepreneurs. Those things and those people—if you can avoid them, don't touch them anymore!"

"People who do dirty work like that need to be cut off. Do you think it's still twenty or thirty years ago?"

Seeing Xu Shengchuan so furious, Xu Yiming shrank his neck and dared not say more, though he clearly didn't care.

Xu Shengchuan could tell from his expression that he hadn't taken a single word to heart. This made his Inner Anger surge, and he wished he could grab a stick and give his son a thorough beating.

But remembering there was a guest present, he forcefully suppressed his Inner Anger, shot Xu Yiming a fierce glare, and said, "You just wait. See how I deal with you later!"

With that, Xu Shengchuan turned to the old man sitting across from him and said apologetically, "Elder Lin, I'm truly sorry. My worthless Rebellious Son has made a fool of himself in front of you..."

However, the old man did not respond to Xu Shengchuan's words. Instead, he stared at Xu Yiming with a deeply furrowed brow.

Xu Shengchuan quickly noticed the change in the other's expression. Following his gaze, he looked suspiciously at his own son and called out again, "Elder Lin? Elder Lin?"

"Ah?"

The old man finally snapped out of it, withdrawing his gaze from Xu Yiming.

Xu Shengchuan couldn't help asking, "Elder Lin, what just... happened? Why were you staring at my son?"

The old man glanced at Xu Shengchuan, hesitated briefly, then said, "Boss Xu, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

Seeing the old man's solemn expression, Xu Shengchuan was taken aback, then quickly said, "Elder Lin, if you have something to say, please speak freely!"

The old man nodded slightly, his gaze flicking to Xu Yiming again. "Boss Xu, your son... has he recently offended someone he shouldn't have?"

"Hmm? Elder Lin, what do you mean? What's wrong with my son?"

Xu Shengchuan was stunned again, looking at the other in confusion.

Xu Yiming also looked at the old man with suspicion...

The old man let out a light breath, looked at the father and son, and said slowly, "Boss Xu, if I'm not mistaken, it seems someone has planted a Curse Seal inside your son's body."

"As for what kind of Curse Seal it is, I'm afraid my eyes are too dull to tell. But I can sense that this Curse Seal may pose a threat to your son's life!"

"What!?"

Hearing this, Xu Shengchuan was greatly shocked!

As for Xu Yiming, he didn't seem to believe the old man's words. He curled his lip and thought to himself, "Where did Dad pick up this old geezer? Probably just another street swindler."

"Curse Seal my ass... who are you trying to fool? Do you really think I'm stupid enough to believe some old geezer's bullshit? Hah—"

Xu Yiming scoffed.

He didn't believe in this kind of "supernatural" existence at all; in his eyes, it was nothing but a con artist's trick.

But his father, Xu Shengchuan, hurriedly asked, "Elder Lin, is there a way to break the curse seal inside my son?"

He paused, then added urgently, "Elder Lin, as long as you can break the curse seal in my son and save his life, I am willing to offer ten million in thanks!"

Hearing this, Xu Yiming couldn't hold back and called out, "Dad..."

But before he could finish, Xu Shengchuan snapped, "Shut up!"

"I warned you long ago to keep a low profile outside and stop stirring up trouble every day. Look where it's gotten you—you've crossed someone you shouldn't have. If Elder Lin hadn't been here today, you wouldn't even know how you died!"

Seeing his father's furious expression, Xu Yiming dared not say another word.

But inside, he was unimpressed.

"Dad's really losing it, actually believing some old geezer's nonsense and offering him ten million! That money could buy me a top-tier sports car!"

Xu Yiming muttered to himself.

The old man hesitated after hearing Xu Shengchuan's words, then said, "Very well, for the sake of our friendship, Boss Xu, I'll give it a try!"

"Good, good! Then I'll leave it to you, Elder Lin! Whether it succeeds or not, I, This Humble One, will still present the ten million reward!"

Xu Shengchuan quickly replied.

The old man nodded slightly, then looked at Xu Yiming and said, "Stand still. Leave the rest to me."

Though Xu Yiming was unimpressed, under his father's pressure, he obediently stood there without daring to act up. He just curled his lip and thought to himself, "Let's see what tricks this old geezer can pull. Hmph!"
