"Alright, that's it. Just listen to me." Su Fangxiu wanted to say something more, but Su Chang interrupted her forcefully.
"Yes, young master." Su Fangxiu had no choice but to agree, and the ten children all sat down.
“Alright, now listen to me.” Su Chang looked at the ten children and said with a serious expression, “First of all, I hope you can send someone to help Jiang Lai. This is not only to support her, but also to test our team, since most of my businesses are with the company.”
The dechaplets nodded in agreement.
"Secondly, I will set aside one trillion as reserve funds, and the rest will be given to you," Su Chang continued. "Use this money to re-establish an overseas investment company. All operations will be handled by you; I trust your capabilities. If funds become insufficient later, I can continue to invest."
The dechaplets' eyes sparkled with excitement. They knew this was Su Chang's absolute trust in them, a feeling akin to dying for a true friend. After all, although they were arranged by the system, they were now living, breathing people with joys and sorrows.
“The only reason I’m doing this is to not put all my eggs in one basket. I want to ensure the safety of my assets. Can you do that?” Su Chang’s tone became heavy. He thought to himself, “In my past life, I heard too many stories of companies and their owners disappearing for various reasons. I have to give myself some security.”
"Don't worry, young master, there won't be any problems."
“Yes, young master, these are all minor problems for us…” The ten twins also eagerly expressed their determination.
After arranging everything, Su Chang prepared to return to Ode to Joy. After all, he was back, and he still wanted to visit Andy and the others.
Su Fangxiu stood to the side, and seeing that Su Chang was about to leave, she prepared to follow her. Su Chang thought for a moment and decided to let them go and attend to their work first, and not go to Ode to Joy for the time being.
"Little sister, you go and take care of your work first. I'll call you if I need anything." Su Chang's tone was firm yet gentle.
Su Fangxiu looked at Su Chang, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, but she couldn't refuse Su Chang's orders, after all, Su Chang was their everything.
"Alright, then young master, please be careful on your way. Call me if anything happens," Su Fangxiu said softly.
"Okay, don't worry." Su Chang nodded and turned to leave.
Su Chang had just arrived at the 22nd floor of Ode to Joy, intending to check if Xiao Ming was home, since Andy would definitely be at work by now.
But as soon as the elevator doors opened, Su Chang saw a strange little boy holding a water gun and spraying her with it. Su Chang reacted quickly, dodging the spray with ease.
He muttered to himself, "I wonder whose brat this is, he's so naughty!" However, he was too lazy to argue with a child, and simply reminded him, "Little friend, stop fooling around, it's dangerous, go home."
However, Su Chang's tolerance did not stop the brat. Seeing that Su Chang had dodged, the brat not only did not restrain himself, but instead became even more brazen and continued to spit at Su Chang.
Su Chang was not one to be trifled with. His face instantly darkened, a flash of anger crossing his eyes. After all, anyone would probably want to beat up a brat. 3.9
He rushed over in a flash, his movements swift and decisive, and snatched the water gun from the child's hand.
"Whose child are you?" Su Chang asked sharply, his eyes cold. This brat had gone too far. He just wanted to find the child's parents so they could discipline him. He couldn't bring himself to hit a child.
The little boy was terrified by Su Chang's gaze and burst into tears. He ran into room 2202, crying, "Grandma, Grandma, a bad guy is bullying me! Come help me kill him!"
Su Chang then noticed that the door to 2202 was open, and listening to the brat's words, his heart sank. He roughly guessed the brat's identity. He hadn't expected the plot to develop to this point, and a sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.
Sure enough, not long after, an elderly couple came out with their unruly child.
Mother Fan's sharp and mean-spirited appearance was repulsive. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, the corners of her mouth were turned down, and her eyes revealed dissatisfaction and anger. Father Fan, on the other hand, looked timid and hesitant, his head lowered, avoiding Su Chang's gaze. He was a typical coward, a bully at home but a bully at home.
Chapter 102 Insult
When Fan's mother came out, seeing how young Su Chang was, and noticing that the high-end custom-made clothes he was wearing had no logos—clothes she'd never seen before—she assumed he was just a poor boy. Pointing at Su Chang, she shouted without any politeness, "Where did this wild brat come from? What are you doing bullying our grandson? Pay up and apologize right now, or I'll call the police to arrest you!"
Upon hearing Fan's mother's words, Su Chang's anger flared instantly. He scoffed, "What a load of rubbish! They're demanding money and an apology without even asking what happened! Everyone else offers a polite apology, but Fan's mother is just asking for it!" Su Chang couldn't help but laugh coldly. He said, "Fine, you don't need to call the police, I'll call the police myself. Your grandson sprayed me with a water gun at the elevator entrance, endangering my life, and you come out and demand money and an apology? That's extortion! Let's see who the police arrest when they get here!" His voice was cold and firm, his eyes filled with disdain and rage.
Speechless for a moment after hearing Su Chang's words, Fan's mother's face turned even more pale, and her lips trembled slightly. Fan's father tugged at his wife's sleeve, seemingly trying to dissuade her from acting impulsively.
Seeing the adults arguing, the child hid behind Fan's mother, too frightened to utter a sound. The arrogance in his eyes was gone, and his little hands gripped Fan's mother's clothes tightly.
As Su Chang watched the scene unfold before him, his anger gradually subsided. He realized that arguing with such a person was pointless, and besides, Fan Shengmei and Andy were friends, so he decided to give Andy some face.
He took a deep breath and turned to leave. However, just as he turned, Fan's mother suddenly shouted again, "Don't go! You're not leaving until you pay compensation and apologize!"
When Fan's mother saw that Su Chang was about to leave, she thought he was feeling guilty and that what he had said before was just threats and intimidation.
Su Chang stopped and glanced back at Fan's mother. His eyes were filled with coldness. He hadn't planned to argue with this old woman, but she had taken advantage of his kindness. So he decided not to be polite anymore, since he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
"Fine, I'm not leaving. We'll wait for the police to arrive before we talk." Su Chang stopped and glared angrily at Fan's mother. He was really annoyed by her. He hadn't expected that his forbearance would be seen as weakness and vulnerability in other people's eyes. He wasn't someone that just anyone could bully in front of.
Then, Su Chang took out her phone and quickly dialed the police.
"Hello, officer, I need to report a crime. I need you to come and handle this. My lawyer will be here soon." Su Chang explained the situation to the person on the other end and said that he would have his lawyer come to handle it immediately. He knew that the police were not very willing to get involved in such a small matter, and even if they came, they would only try to mediate.
But when Su Chang said he would call a lawyer to handle the situation, the police immediately said they would be there right away. Su Chang was clearly not an ordinary person, which made the situation much more serious.
Just as Su Chang hung up the phone, Andy's door opened, and Xiao Ming came out with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Brother Su Chang." Xiao Ming greeted Su Chang first, then looked at Fan's parents and whispered, "Brother Su Chang, how about we call it quits? These are Sister Fan's parents." There was a hint of timidity in Xiao Ming's voice.
Su Chang realized that Xiao Ming had probably been listening to the gossip for quite some time, and she never expected to be the one caught up in it all. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in Xiao Ming, after all, she had been incredibly good to him. She never imagined…
He pointed at Xiaoming, wanting to say something, his lips trembling slightly, but then he shook his head, only then remembering that Xiaoming had grown up in an orphanage since he was a child, and was later abandoned and sent to a nursing home. Although he had recovered, his timid and fearful personality was something that couldn't be helped.
"Xiaoming, don't worry about these things, go back first." Su Chang patted Xiaoming's shoulder, her voice tinged with helplessness. She thought to herself that she needed to have a good talk with Andy and Xiaoming later. How could they survive in society like this? How would they find girlfriends in the future? No woman likes a cowardly man.
"Oh, okay." Seeing Su Chang's response, Xiao Ming stopped trying to persuade her. He only offered his advice because he thought Fan Shengmei was friends with his sister, and he didn't mean anything else. Besides, he wasn't good at this kind of thing. He awkwardly scratched his head and went back home.
Seeing that Xiaoming had gone back, Su Chang picked up her phone again and dialed Li Na's number. She briefly explained the situation, and after Li Na said she would come over to handle it immediately, Su Chang hung up the phone.
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Fan also sensed that Su Chang was no ordinary person. Mrs. Fan gave Mr. Fan a wink, and Mr. Fan timidly walked up to Su Chang and said...
"Well... young man, how about... we just let this matter go? After all, it's not a big deal, right?" Mr. Fan's voice carried a hint of flattery and pleading.
An awkward smile appeared on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of unease and fear.
Su Chang looked at Fan's father and snorted coldly: "Sorry, I've already called the police. Now you know you regret it? Sorry, it's too late."
"that······"
"Stop, stay away from me, we're not familiar with each other." Before Mr. Fan could say anything more, Su Chang immediately interrupted him.
Seeing that her husband had been humiliated, Fan's mother quickly took out her phone and went to her room to make a call. Su Chang didn't even need to guess to know that she was calling Fan Shengmei. Su Chang didn't care; even if the King of Heaven himself came, he would teach them a lesson and vent his anger today.
Sure enough, Su Chang's phone rang not long after. Seeing the caller ID, and that it was Andy, Su Chang was taken aback. Then, remembering the relationship between Fan Shengmei and Andy, Su Chang understood. Fan Shengmei was quite clever; knowing that Su Chang had little face in front of her, she had Andy persuade her.
Su Chang sneered inwardly. He had no intention of letting it go so easily, but he answered the phone anyway. As soon as the call connected, Andy's voice came through: "Su Chang, you're back? What happened to Shengmei's parents?"
Su Chang knew Andy's personality and didn't mind her straightforwardness. He replied, "Yes, I just got back and wanted to see Xiaoming, but I didn't expect... That's how things are. What do you think I should do?" His voice was a little low. He threw the question directly at Andy, wanting to see how she would choose.
Andy was taken aback, not expecting Fan Shengmei's parents to be so unreasonable, and hesitated. She frowned, thinking to herself, "Su Chang is right, this is indeed a bit excessive. But Fan Shengmei is our neighbor, and I have a pretty good relationship with her. How should I persuade her?"
Then Andy said, "Su Chang, why don't we just let it go this time? After all, you haven't suffered any real harm, and Fan Shengmei is our neighbor, and we have a pretty good relationship. I don't think it's necessary to take it too seriously. Why don't you just let it go for my sake this time?" Her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and difficulty.
Su Chang paused for a moment after hearing this, then thought about it and realized it did indeed make sense for Andy's logic. Suppressing his anger, he continued, "Andy, are you sure you want to help Fan Shengmei protect her parents?"
Upon hearing Su Chang's words, Andy immediately sensed a hidden meaning in them, and it gave her a very uneasy feeling. She felt flustered and unsure how to respond. Her hand unconsciously tightened around her phone, a flicker of unease crossing her eyes.
Seeing that Andy didn't reply, Su Chang knew that Andy's mind must be a mess right now, because she was not good at handling these kinds of things at all.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then explained to Andy, "Andy, this is actually a small matter, and I could let it go. But my position at 600 means I can't treat this as a trivial matter. If someone keeps bullying me like this, what do you think others will think of me? What will happen to my business? Have you thought about that? If you really don't understand, you can ask Lao Tan how he handles this kind of thing." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice; after all, Andy was sometimes too naive and easily taken advantage of.
"Is it that serious?" Andy wondered if Su Chang was right after hearing what Su Chang said, but since Su Chang thought that way, he didn't say anything more. So he said, "Okay, then you can handle it yourself. I really don't know anything about these things."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. You don't need to worry about things here. Remember to come back for dinner tonight." Su Chang smiled, a rare occurrence, when she saw Andy say this. After all, Andy was still on her side, and her feelings hadn't been misplaced.
"Okay." Andy agreed and hung up the phone to call Fan Shengmei back.
Shortly after, the elevator doors opened again, and two police officers stepped out. The middle-aged officer in the lead glanced sharply at the group of people standing there before asking, "Who is Mr. Su Chang?"
Su Chang walked over at this moment, his expression calm, with a hint of composure in his eyes. He looked at the middle-aged policeman and replied in a steady tone, "I am Su Chang, and I am the one who called the police."
"Hello! Mr. Su Chang, may I ask what exactly happened?" the middle-aged policeman immediately asked politely, while showing a professional smile on his face.
Su Chang smiled and nodded, then briefly recounted the incident again. The young policeman beside him smirked slightly and muttered, "Making a mountain out of a molehill. Making us run around for such a trivial matter. Do they think we're all that free?"
Chapter 103 Entering the Police Station
It was a quiet moment, and although the young policeman spoke softly, everyone present heard him clearly. The middle-aged policeman, upon hearing this, inwardly cursed his luck. He glared at the young officer, his eyes filled with reproach.
Upon hearing this, Fan's mother shouted even louder, "That's right, what kind of person is he? Making a scene over such a trivial matter. I don't know what kind of family raised such an ill-mannered person." Her face was full of disdain and dissatisfaction, as if she were the victim.
Su Chang's expression immediately turned ugly, a flash of anger in his eyes. After all, orphans had always been a taboo subject for him, so how could he not be angry after hearing Fan's mother's words? He stared coldly at the people present, thinking to himself: I must make them pay the price for their words and actions.
Su Chang's face grew even colder, his fists clenched, and his anger surged. He took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and then said to the middle-aged policeman, "Officer, I think you heard what this officer and this woman were saying. I will file a complaint against this officer and pursue legal action against this woman. I won't say anything more now; you can talk to my lawyer when he arrives." Without waiting for the officer to reply, he walked to a corner and remained silent.
Seeing Su Chang's expression, the middle-aged policeman knew that this matter couldn't be resolved peacefully. He sighed helplessly, glared at the young policeman with annoyance, and inwardly blamed him for causing him trouble. He racked his brains trying to figure out how to resolve the situation.
The young policeman was now regretting his actions. He knew all too well how difficult these rich people could be. Why had he been so talkative? Good heavens, if he really got a complaint, he would definitely get a warning, and in more serious cases, he might even get a disciplinary action.
Fan's mother, however, showed no remorse for the trouble she had caused. Instead, she continued to mock him, saying, "What's so great about you? You even complained to the police. Why don't you just fly to the moon? Not only do you not know how to respect the elderly and care for the young, but you can't even tell the difference between a king and a queen. You're just a wild boy who was born of a mother but not raised by one."
Just as Fan's mother was getting into her rant, Fan's father pulled her back. Fan's mother snapped at him, "Why are you pulling me? You good-for-nothing!"
Although Mr. Fan was also a little angry, he still gestured with his chin towards Su Chang, indicating that she should look at Su Chang. Only then did Mrs. Fan look at Su Chang. Su Chang's eyes were like a knife at that moment. If looks could kill, Mrs. Fan would probably have been torn to pieces by now.
Su Chang didn't say much, but she had already added Fan's mother to her blacklist. The others nearby sensed Su Chang's low mood and didn't dare to say anything. After all, Fan's mother's words were indeed too insulting, and no one could tolerate them. The middle-aged policeman didn't even have the thought of telling her to shut up, while the young policeman was now filled with regret.
About ten minutes later, the elevator doors opened again with a ding, and everyone's eyes turned to look.
Fan Shengmei rushed out, her face full of anxiety and worry. She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that her parents were alright. Then, her eyes began to anxiously search for Su Chang.
Following closely behind, Li Na walked out calmly, her steps steady and her eyes resolute. She went directly to Su Chang in the corner, and Su Chang came to greet her.
“Andy’s surveillance cameras should have captured everything that happened here. I only have three requests: First, file a complaint against that young policeman. I am very dissatisfied with his attitude and the fact that he insulted me. Second, sue Fan’s mother for extortion. Third, sue Fan’s mother for maliciously insulting me. Can you do that?” Su Chang’s voice was cold and firm, and his eyes flashed with anger.
Li Na looked at Su Chang and her heart tightened. She could sense that Su Chang was truly angry. She quickly assured him, "No problem, Mr. Su. If I can't handle it, I'll have someone from the firm come and help."
Su Chang nodded, his expression softening slightly, and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you to handle."
"Can I leave now?" He looked at the middle-aged policeman, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
The middle-aged policeman glanced at Li Na, then at Su Chang, and nodded, saying, "Okay, but you might need to come to our station later to give a statement."
Su Chang nodded lightly and said, "No problem, but I don't want to be harassed by anyone. Or I can give you an address to go to another place to make a statement, is that okay?" His tone was clearly displeased, obviously still harboring resentment about what had just happened, and he was also saying this to Fan Shengmei.
"Okay, then I'll have someone come to your house later to take your statement." The middle-aged policeman had no choice, after all, he was in the wrong.
Su Chang then whispered the address of the Dongshan villa to Li Na, asking her to bring the police over later. He didn't want to talk to the police alone again. After saying that, he turned and walked towards the elevator.
Seeing that Su Chang was about to leave, Fan Shengmei quickly spoke up to stop her: "Su Chang..." Her voice was full of urgency and pleading.
Li Na stepped in front of her, her expression serious, and said, "Ms. Fan, my client doesn't want to see anyone right now. I will handle this matter on behalf of my client. You can talk to me about anything."
Fan Shengmei looked at Li Na, her heart filled with helplessness and resentment. She knew that she could not stop Su Chang from leaving, so she could only place her hopes on Li Na. After all, the two had dealt with each other before, but she estimated that the chances were slim, since Su Chang was Li Na's boss.
Su Chang didn't look at Fan Shengmei and the others again. He waited for the elevator to arrive, then got in and went downstairs.
After Su Chang left, Li Na led the middle-aged policeman to Andy's house.
"Xiaoming, hello! I'm Li Na, your brother Su Chang's lawyer. We need your help to retrieve the surveillance footage." Li Na's voice was calm, but her eyes revealed a hint of determination.
"Okay, Sister Li Na." He had actually seen everything that had just happened outside, so Xiao Ming led them into the room. The middle-aged policeman quickly pulled up the surveillance footage, which recorded everything except for the part where the naughty child sprayed Su Chang with a water gun at the beginning.
