Chapter 59: "You look so cool earlier, Dad!" (3)
On the other side, Lin Xi had been staying in the car.
The possibility of Gu Shao going to look for Zhang Qiang make it difficult for Lin Xi to sit still. After hesitating for two seconds, she told Wang Wu that she was going to stretch her legs before she walked aimlessly, pretending that she was going for a walk, and “happened” to head toward the direction of Zhang Qiang’s place.
Having been there once, Lin Xi remembered the way to Zhang Qiang’s place.
When she arrived there and, before she could even walk inside the front yard, Lin Xi was startled by the screams coming from inside of Zhang Qiang’s house and the voice belonged to none other than Zhang Qiang himself!
Luckily, there weren’t a lot of other houses around and, even if there were, they would be at a banquet somewhere. Otherwise, with the screams coming from Zhang Qiang, there would be a crowd gathering around outside his house by now.
The bodyguard waiting outside of the door was taken aback a little when he saw Lin Xi. Then he saw Wang Wu, following behind her, looking helpless.
Seeing that Lin Xi was heading toward the main house, the few bodyguards looked troubled.
Luckily, Lin Xi stopped outside of the house.
Going up to the front door that was left ajar, Lin Xi peeked inside of it.
Just one quick look and her jaw dropped from what was going on inside of the house – it would not be an exaggeration to say that Zhang Qiang was beaten to a pulp.
Lin Xi would never have guessed that Gu Shao would resort to such a simple and violent method to settle his scores with Zhang Qiang.
Nor had she expected that Gu Shao was so skillful in fighting!
She didn’t know that martial art and physique were requirements to being a research professor in technology.

Inside the house, Gu Shao, noticing Lin Xi by the door, stopped what he was doing.
He walked over and blocked Lin Xi from looking inside the house.
“You didn’t listen to what I’ve said?” said Gu Shao as he took the handkerchief from Wang Lu and wiped his hands on it.
“Emmm, that’s not it.” Standing properly in front of Gu Shao, Lin Xi had her head lowered and repented, “I just, just worry that you’d have gotten lost.”
What kind of a stupid reason was that?
Even Lin Xi wished she could take that back.
Gu Shao said not a word.
Inside the house, Zhang Qiang, who had lucked out, laid on the floor and howled in pain.
Noticing that Gu Shao was looking at him again, Zhang Qiang quickly dragged himself over and cowered in a corner. He looked like a mouse in front of a at.
No, not a cat. This person was the devil himself!
“I, I was wrong. Please let me go, Boss.” Zhang Qiang pleaded in pain.
Then they heard a strange noise.
Zhang Qiang was so frightened that he had wet himself.
Upon seeing that, a look of disgust crossed Gu Shao’s eyes.
Lin Xi had no idea what had happened. She turned her heard curiously to find out but she saw nothing all of a sudden as Gu Shao had covered up her eyes with his hand.
“Are you trying to walk toward the dirt?” said Gu Shao in a deep voice.
“No… …” Lin Xi was carried out by Gu Shao before she could finish what she was saying.
Wang Lu, Wang Wu, and the others followed behind them.
“Take care of this and have a report prepared,” said Gu Shao to Wang Lu.
“Yes, Sir,” said Wang Lu. They would, indeed, need to have a report prepared – they would not want to have to explain why the head of the Gu family and renowned Professor Gu Shao beat up someone violently should words be leaked.
“In addition, send him to jail,” added Gu Shao.
When Lin Xi said before to send Zhang Qiang to jail, she was mostly just bluffing. But Gu Shao wasn’t kidding when he said to send Zhang Qiang to jail.
Over ten years ago, Zhang Qiang and a few others were stealing cables around town. During one of their raids, they injured a maintenance worker and handicapped him.
The controls were not as strong as they were nowadays and Zhang Qiang and his gang were able to hide out in a different village for a while and the incident went away.
Bringing the incident up now would be sufficient to have Zhang Qiang put away for a few years.
