Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Hu Yijie’s Betrayal?

Shi Yaoguang was still unaware that she had been unfairly blamed for something.

After checking Shen Antai’s physical condition and teaching him the basics of cultivation techniques, she returned home.

As two flowers bloom, each shows their own branch.

In contrast to her carefree ease, Quan Sicheng had it rough.

Or rather, he was infuriated.

He had not expected that his own men would fail.

He had wanted Hu Yijie to give Shen Huan a harsh lesson. In fact, leaving Shen Huan with one leg intact was not Hu Yijie’s own idea, but an order given by Quan Sicheng.

For this, he had even paid Hu Yijie a handsome fee.

He had thought he would see what he wanted to see, but to his surprise, after taking the money, Hu Yijie couldn’t even handle this one task.

Had he known it would turn out like this, he would not have given Hu Yijie so much money.

Every time he thought of what the other party told him, that he was beaten up by Shen Huan and the girl he was with, and couldn’t even get up, Quan Sicheng found it ludicrous.

Utterly ludicrous!

He didn’t believe a word of what Hu Yijie said, that he had been beaten by Shen Huan and a very pretty girl next to him.

The girl even used supernatural methods and was a monster.

These words were even less credible.

Excuses, all excuses.

Quan Sicheng directly smashed a set of precious tea sets.

Shi Yiqing finished school and came to his apartment to find him.

As soon as she entered, she saw the mess all over the floor.

"Brother Sicheng, what happened here?"

Her eyes were full of concern.

Seeing her reaction, Quan Sicheng sighed, "What else could have happened? It’s all Shen Huan’s fault!"

"Shen Huan?" Shi Yiqing remembered that Quan Sicheng had told her that Shen Huan was the source of the jokes about her at school.

With this in mind, she, too, wished she could kill Shen Huan.

If it wasn’t for him, even if she couldn’t be the school beauty, she wouldn’t have been the butt of the joke.

Now, thanks to Shen Huan’s deliberate mockery, she had become a complete laughingstock.

Thinking of this, she felt utterly annoyed.

Therefore, when she sensed that Quan Sicheng had the intention of dealing with Shen Huan, she didn’t say anything to stop him.

She had come over thinking she would hear some good news from Quan Sicheng.

But what she saw was this scene instead.

If Quan Sicheng’s revenge had been successful, he would not be looking like this now.

Clearly, he had failed.

Thinking of this, Shi Yiqing frowned with worry, "Brother Sicheng, what exactly happened? Did Shen Huan do something again?"

"Heh," Quan Sicheng let out a cold laugh, "Shen Huan has turned Hu Yijie against me!"

"What?"

Shi Yiqing showed a surprised expression, "He turned Hu Yijie against you? But... how is that possible?"

"Not possible?" Quan Sicheng’s mouth curved up, his eyes filled with scorn, "Just because you said it’s not possible, it’s not possible? You don’t even know what he did."

"What... what did he do?"

Shi Yiqing felt uneasy as she saw Quan Sicheng’s expression; Shen Huan must have really committed something egregious.

Quan Sicheng narrated the whole incident with Hu Yijie, concluding, "I think Hu Yijie has defected to Shen Huan! He didn’t even bother to come up with a good excuse when he mocked me. Tell me, he brought over twenty guys with him, couldn’t they even incapacitate one of Shen Huan’s legs?"

Hearing this, Shi Yiqing finally understood Quan Sicheng’s original intention.

Quan Sicheng had actually wanted to break one of Shen Huan’s legs!

At the same time, a sense of unease arose in her heart.

If she and Quan Sicheng ever had a conflict, would he treat her the same way?

This unease, however, was just a fleeting moment.

She quickly regained her composure.

Impossible.

Considering her relationship with Brother Sicheng, he definitely wouldn’t treat her like that.

With such confidence, she gave Quan Sicheng a smile and comforted him in a soft, gentle voice, "Brother Sicheng, don’t be angry. Since that Hu Yijie deceived you, you can just deceive him back."

"Deceive him back?" Quan Sicheng became interested.

Shi Yiqing nodded, her eyes gleaming with a cunning light. "Brother Sicheng, there are so many swindlers in society nowadays. If Hu Yijie and his lot are careless and get scammed into investing in something dodgy, won’t they be left penniless soon after?"

"Or else, if someone deliberately lures them into touching something they shouldn’t, and they get hooked, won’t they end up just drifting in the streets?"

"Dealing with such people is really easy, so, Brother Sicheng, you don’t need to bother with these pests at all."

Shi Yiqing’s voice was soft, but her words were incredibly venomous.

Yet, to Quan Sicheng, everything about her was wonderful.

After hearing Shi Yiqing’s advice, he immediately had an idea in mind.

Dare to betray him?

He would make sure they paid the price!

Quan Sicheng mentally took note of Hu Yijie and the others.

And what about Hu Yijie and his gang?

There they were, in that alley, moving with difficulty.

A couple dozen young men, crawling on the ground like caterpillars, frightening the passersby.

Some even wildly speculated whether they had contracted some virus.

It was only after someone boldly inquired that they learned the reason.

The reason they were crawling was that...

...they had been beaten up and couldn’t stand.

The passersby who thought it was a virus almost choked on their own saliva.

Then they looked at them with an indescribable expression, "You were beaten in your legs, not your brains..."

As he spoke, he swallowed hard, "Or are you saying, not only your legs are broken, but your brains are damaged too?"

Hu Yijie, with his hot temper, couldn’t stand such words.

He immediately retorted, "Who are you calling brainless, you fucking idiot?"

"If I could stand up, I’d beat you so hard you’d be searching for your teeth on the ground."

The passerby, looking down on them, made a contemptuous middle-finger gesture.

"You want to beat me? Look at you."

After saying that, he snorted derisively to the sky, "Even if all your legs were intact, you still wouldn’t have the smarts."

Feeling the glaring mockery, Hu Yijie was genuinely angered.

"What the fuck do you mean? If you’ve got a death wish, just say it."

Passerby: "Are you having a teenage crisis? I was just kindly reminding you, if your brains aren’t damaged, you can call 120, which would be much faster than crawling out yourselves."

The group, taken aback by the reminder that they could call 120: "!!!"

Right, they could call 120. How did they not think of that?

Hu Yijie also realized belatedly.

He slapped his forehead in an epiphany.

He was the idiot.

Had he known a call to emergency services could have solved the problem, they wouldn’t have been crawling around pointlessly!!

Of course, the one they should blame most was Quan Sicheng.

Right after the incident, Hu Yijie called Quan Sicheng immediately.

While reporting the failure of their mission, he also hoped for some compensation for himself and his brothers.

After all, it was the incorrect information provided by him that led to such a dire outcome.

And the result?

Quan Sicheng didn’t believe a word he said, mocked him without another word, and then hung up on him.
