"Jack Jiang! Why did he try to set me up?" Shawn Young demanded sharply.
"Young Master Jiang said—you, you embarrassed him, and, you, you stole his woman! So today—he, he brought us here just to teach you a lesson!" The burly man confessed, panting heavily.
"Besides you three, did Jack Jiang arrange for anyone else to come after me?" Shawn continued to interrogate.
"There shouldn't be—no one else. He figured the three of us would be enough to deal with you. We're all professional enforcers from the Blue Wolf Syndicate—you know the Blue Wolf Syndicate, bro—" The burly man even tried to intimidate Shawn Young with the gang's reputation.
Shawn Young sneered, "Damn it, I knew Jack Jiang was up to no good! Even bringing in the Blue Wolf Syndicate! Hmph—so this is how he tries to screw me over? Let's see who gets the last laugh!"
With that, Shawn Young struck without mercy, knocking out the unlucky Blue Wolf Syndicate thug, then dragged all three men under the bushes. Only then did he walk out, still fuming, and headed for the edge of the outdoor battlefield.
Meanwhile, Jack Jiang was already in the locker room of the "Assembly Call" outdoor camp, one arm around the seductive Vivian Wei, the other wrapped around a nearby girl. He had one beauty on each side, his hands roaming freely over their bodies. The two girls cooperated, moaning wantonly, making him feel utterly satisfied.
Shawn Young walked out, only to run into Yvette Liu, who had already changed her clothes and was waiting there. Seeing Shawn's dark, scary expression, she hurried over to stop him and asked with concern, "Shawn, what's wrong? Why do you look so upset? Did you get hurt playing war games just now?"
Shawn Young shook his head and asked Yvette Liu directly, "Yvette, where's that bastard Jack Jiang right now?"
"Uh—he seems to be in the locker room... messing around with girls! Did he do something to you? Is that why you're so angry?" Yvette Liu asked anxiously.
Shawn Young glanced around and saw Jack Jiang's crew lingering at the entrance of Tiger Ridge Park, occasionally peeking over. When they spotted him, their eyes filled with surprise.
It immediately clicked for Shawn—these guys definitely knew what was going on. He pulled Yvette Liu aside and, not hiding anything, whispered, "Jack Jiang wasn't just trying to have fun with me. He lost face over what happened last time, accused me of stealing his girl, and then got the Blue Wolf Syndicate to set me up! Damn it—"
"Whoa?—Jack Jiang got the gang to ambush you! Shawn, are you hurt?! I heard those gangsters can be really brutal!" Yvette Liu, knowing the Blue Wolf Syndicate's reputation, quickly asked in a worried tone.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Shawn Young reassured her quickly.
"Ah! Hmph! I knew that guy wasn't so generous—he's always been a petty, vindictive jerk! So despicable! I'm definitely cutting ties with that bastard!!" Yvette Liu said bitterly.
Shawn Young said coldly, "Jack Jiang definitely didn't expect me to walk away unscathed. Hmph—he thought I was easy pickings! He's not even in my league!!"
"Shawn, are you going to confront Jack Jiang now?!" Yvette Liu picked up on Shawn's angry tone.
"That's right! I'm going to teach that punk a lesson!! Let him know there are people in this world he can't mess with!" Shawn said fiercely.
Yvette Liu quickly said, "But Shawn, if you go confront him like this, isn't that a bit impulsive? In Nanning City, especially in our social circle, he's basically a big shot. If you beat him up, sure, it'll feel good, but he's the beloved son of the Deputy City Commissioner! You'll be asking for a whole lot of trouble!"
Shawn Young was momentarily stunned by Yvette's words—she had a point. Suddenly, he remembered seeing the Blue Wolf Syndicate's black ledger last night, with the Deputy City Commissioner Miles Jiang's name right there. Miles Jiang was Jack Jiang's real father! No wonder these two were cut from the same cloth, neither of them any good!
Shawn Young realized—if he messed with Jack Jiang now, the guy would definitely use his father's connections to fight back. And Miles Jiang was already under Ken Lin's close surveillance. As soon as Ken Lin was ready, they'd follow legal procedures to bring Miles Jiang down! Shawn couldn't afford to tip him off yet—it might trigger a chain reaction and alert other targets!
After weighing his options, Shawn Young decided not to go beat up Jack Jiang after all. But he was still pissed off, so he started plotting other ways to mess with the guy.
"Shawn, listen to me—if you really want to teach that jerk Jack Jiang a lesson, we can come up with another plan. If you just go in and beat him up, that's letting him off easy. He's done plenty of bad things! If you want real payback, make it ruthless! Let's play dirty! Make him lose face—regret it for life!" Yvette Liu suggested.
"Yeah, yeah—you’re right. If he tried to screw me over, I’ll show him what it’s really like to get played! Heh heh—" Shawn Young sneered.
"Shawn, do you already have an idea for how to deal with Jack Jiang?" Yvette Liu asked quickly.
Shawn Young shook his head. "Not yet! But if I want to play dirty, there are plenty of ways! Heh heh—"
As he spoke, Shawn Young headed toward the locker room. Yvette Liu quickly grabbed his arm and asked, "Shawn, what are you doing? Jack Jiang's inside... messing around with girls!"
"Oh! Haha—is that so? Well, I'm just going to check out the show, maybe give him a little scare!" Shawn Young grinned mischievously and strode toward the locker room.
At that moment, the locker room was locked from the inside. Jack Jiang and two flirtatious women were in the middle of a 'full-on battle'—one girl was going down on him nonstop, while he was busy going down on Vivian Wei. The air was thick with moans and groans, the scene as wild and chaotic as the hottest Japanese AV flick.
Boom—Shawn Young kicked the locker room door open and swaggered inside.
"Whoa—ah—whoa—yikes!!" The three in the middle of their 'intense battle' were instantly thrown into chaos by the loud crash. The girl servicing Jack Jiang got so nervous she accidentally bit down, sending a jolt of pain through his ugly junk. He nearly leapt up, and in the confusion, lost control, spraying everywhere—right onto the girl's face!
Shawn Young shrugged excitedly, barely holding back his laughter—he'd finally managed to play Jack Jiang for a fool.
