Chapter 4 Joe was Beaten

At the entrance of Fengxing Group, it look like there was Jackie Chan’s movie being made.

Joe Liu had no choices but fought back under the attacks of a bunch of well-trained security guards,
eventually there was nothing he could but screaming in pain.

“What the heck are you doing! We’re here for the contract! Is this how you Fengxing Group treat your
business partner?”

But it changed nothing, the beating continued.

Begging didn’t work, the Joe began cursing out the filthiest words he knew in his whole life.

Helen was sacred by then scene. She tried to stop them but it didn’t took her long to come to the
thought that it was impossible for her, a woman alone, to stop the fight, let alone she was already
scared off by the captain, even though the guards would not do the same thing to her.

“Where the hell does that stupid audacity come from? Partners? Who do you think your Liu’s people
are if it weren’t for the help of our president for these two years? You just happened to be on the list of
‘beggars’ that we Fengxing group would help, but not anymore now.”

The captain continued:”You got me now, coward? You’re beggars!”

The order from Mark was clear: Shame the Liu’s the best they can.

Being the younger brother of Mike, Mark would definitely avenge for him after Mike’s being treated like
a slave for two years.



“Stop it! He may be killed! I’m Helen, Helen Liu! You know that your president and I are in a good
relationship!” Cried out Helen, yelling at the guards.

“Shut it!” Shouted the captain, pointing at Helen which made her took a few steps back in fear,”Don’t
you pull that shit now, you’re Helen, yeah, so what? You’re are not allowed to enter, that’s it!”

The captain sounded quite pissed:”Here’s a news for you and your stupid grandpa: From this day on,
all the cooperation between your company and Fengxing group is aborted! You can just wait until the
day you all starve to death, because that’s where you’ll be eventually!”

Great shock hit Helen.

“Abort...abort cooperation...”

It meant that Liu’s family had lost all the help they could possibly get. They are nothing without
Fengxing Group’s help, for the resources provided by Fengxing would be gone and Liu’s people would
have to be entirely on their own.

And they couldn’t blame it on anyone: They had never tried to use the resources from Fengxing to
enhance their own company’s capability or to make developments just in case one day they would
have to go on their own way, the only thing they had been doing was to siphoning off money from the
resources.

They are just like the boiling-frog that dies when the temperature rises.

As pissed as those security guards are, they wouldn’t kill Joe anyway. But to Joe, it maybe better for
him to just die.



The captain dropped some cash that worth thousands on the ground and smiled:”There you go, that
should cover the medicine you need. Now get lost, and never return if you don’t want the same thing to
happen again.”

Covered in bloodstain and bruises all over his face, Joe was trembling in tears.

Given how Liu’s family was held in high regards in Chuzhou City with the help of Fengxing Group and
how he himself was held in high regards because of that, he had literally become the most influential
person that was sure to succeed Peter’s legacy in Liu’s family.

And he never saw it coming that he would get his ass kicked so hard like that.

“Are you alright, Joe? I’ll get you an ambulance!”

Though Helen was in fear as well, she ran near Joe and helped him up.

He looked quite scary since there was blood all over him.

“Helen, what...what is all this about? I thought you are Mark’s friend!” Cried out Joe as he grabbed
Helen by her hands,”Damn this bastard, how could anyone do such things? I didn’t do anything wrong!
I should’ve just stayed at home...”

Helen was also crying, for it was just unacceptable.

“I...I don’t know, no idea either...And Mark wants to abort the cooperation, what should we do, Joe?!”



Regardless of the pain, Joe took a deep breath and cursed:”How the hell am I supposed to know! Get
me to hospital and call grandpa and everyone! Damn, this is really the end of our family...”

After the operation, Joe was resting in the hospital. The ward was full of Liu’s people, even Peter
himself, after hearing what happened.

Pa!

Rose Zhong, Joe’s mother, slapped Helen on her face quite hard and scorned:”Damn you little girl, this
was all because of you, isn’t it! You’re afraid that Joe might take your position in our family them he
would be the one to be Mark’s friend instead of you! I knew it! ”

Rage had driven Rose nearly reckless:”And now I know why Mark was so partial to you that he didn’t
even lay eyes on anyone else, you’re having a affair with him! That’s why you’ve never slept with that
useless Mike! I’m telling you: If anything happen to Joe, you will be doomed as well!”

To Rose, it was Helen that should take full responsibility for what happened to Joe. And Joe’s condition
made her mad as hell.

No one can endure such a shame, not to mention that Helen was a girl. But she and her families had
always been treated like that, things would only get worse if they dare talk back to bossy Rose, mother
of Joe and wif of Chengfeng.

She could only keep crying and trying to explain that it was none of her business.

“Rose! We haven’t even figured out what really happened! This is way out of line!” Shouted Xiaohui, no



mother could tolerate their daughters being shamed that way.

She turned to Ben and exclaimed:”Say something! This is your daughter, you douche!”

But her anger just escalated seeing Ben keeping his head down in silence.

Ben would never dare having a fight with Rose, he grabbed Xiaohui by her hands and whispered:”You
see what happened to Joe, of course Rose would be like that. Just, don’t make this mess even worse.”

She suddenly grabbed Ben by his clothes and started beating him on the chest:”You good-for-nothing!
You’re nothing better than that Mike! How dare you to call yourself a father, it’s your daughter there
being shamed!”

Peter hit the ground with his walking stick and exclaimed:”Enough! We’re in hospital, save it until you
get home!”

Then came the silence, for Peter was the law in Liu’s family.

Peter turned to Joe and asked:”Tell me, Joe, what really happened there today?”

There were wounds all over Joe’s body, but luckily he was still conscious, and he chose to tell the truth
instead of throwing Helen under the bus:”No idea, but it’s really not Helen’s fault. They...they just began
beating me and condemning our family out of no reason, and they didn’t even listen to Helen.”

And his voice started trembling:”And they said...they will abort the cooperation we have with them!”

It was a bomb that knocked everyone in the room shocked. Everyone stood still, and Peter’s walking



stick fell on the ground.
