Chapter 593 The Evil Dragon is Shameless - The More It's Hammered, the More Obedient It Become
"What a joke! With my dad around, who would dare?!"

Although he was somewhat worried, the evil dragon, who had always firmly believed since childhood that his father was omnipotent, continued to roar with a fierce but inwardly weak voice.

Looking at the evil dragon, Gao Dongxu sneered and shook his head, his eyes showing pity—a typical example of arrogant corruption.

It must be said that the dragon before us is both the perpetrator and the victim.

Arrogant and domineering, high-profile in his actions, greedy and short-sighted, frantically accumulating wealth, crude in his methods, and lacking in true wisdom, he undoubtedly became the most conspicuous point of attack.

The evil dragon's family placed him in the forefront, charging into battle, while his second sister remained behind the scenes, manipulating capital. When risks arose, the evil dragon became a pawn, while his second sister escaped punishment through even more covert operations.

This division of labor perfectly highlights the risk diversification strategy of the Dragon Family.

Furthermore, the dragon truly believed that his father's position would forever cover up his crimes.

Therefore, he continued to rely on his father's resources on the one hand, and on the other hand, he kept planting landmines for his family due to his reckless behavior.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

When the dragon saw that Gao Dongxu didn't speak, but instead looked at him with a mocking and pitying gaze, it immediately touched a nerve.

The dragon recognized that look; he had seen it in the eyes of his father and second sister before.

"A look of mockery and pity—" Gao Dongxu said calmly as he looked at the evil dragon.

"You don't need to whine to me here. If you want my advice, then promise me you'll tear down the food court. If you don't want to, then shut up and don't disturb my meal."

"You—" The dragon was rendered speechless by the retort.

Brother Qi, standing to the side, looked at the evil dragon with a glint in his eyes and said, "Over the years, that food court has made you enough money. Now that its benefits are declining, let's just tear it down."

"You make it sound so easy. We've lost hundreds of millions, and many people are still relying on the food court for their meals. It's just a little pollution. At worst, I'll just go back and strengthen pollution control. But he's the one who tells me to demolish it right away..." the evil dragon said irritably.

"Ha—calling you an idiot is no exaggeration. All you care about is money. Fine, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Do whatever you want..." Gao Dongxu pretended to be amused and mocked.

"Don't try to fool me. That food court has generated so much economic benefit for the local area over the years. Even if it's a bit polluting, it's not like I should just demolish it. What, is your uncle regretting the approval back then and trying to kick you while you're down?" The evil dragon asked with a gloomy face and a cold smile.

“That’s right, I regret it, I’m going to kick you while you’re down, so what?” Gao Dongxu sneered as he stared at the evil dragon, directly confronting him.

"..." Unexpectedly, Gao Dongxu turned hostile and made such definitive statements, leaving the evil dragon speechless.

"Damn it, you're a piece of trash. All you care about is money. That food court is just a food court in your eyes, but in the eyes of many people, it's direct evidence of your family's rent-seeking."

Anyone with a brain knows when to quit while they're ahead and clean up the mess.

Only a scoundrel like you would continue to act recklessly and arrogantly, thinking that this can go on forever. Do you really think you have a get-out-of-jail-free card?
"You deserve to die!" Gao Dongxu switched to his sarcastic mode, looking like he had completely torn off all pretense of civility. He had figured out that this evil dragon in front of him could not be given any kindness; the harsher he was scolded and beaten, the more obedient it would become.

"Kid, watch your mouth. If you dare to curse me again, I'll really turn on you..."

"Go ahead and turn on me, so what? Fine, just get lost. I don't want to look at you, it makes me sick."

"Take it or leave it, the food court is just giving people ammunition to attack you and your family... Get out, get out—" Gao Dongxu interrupted the evil dragon before it could finish its threat, continuing its vicious attack.

"boom--"

The dragon could no longer contain itself. Enraged, it slammed its fist on the table, stood up, and pointed a finger at Gao Dongxu, yelling, "Damn it, I've been putting up with you for ages—"

Gao Dongxu looked at the enraged dragon with a mocking smile and said sarcastically, "What, you want to fight me one-on-one? I'll give you a handicap, do you dare?"

"You—" The evil dragon was naturally not provoked into a one-on-one fight with Gao Dongxu. He had heard Brother Qi mention that Gao Dongxu had practiced martial arts since childhood.

"Click——"

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Yu Jiaqin led a group of waiters carrying delicacies from land and sea into the room.

"Alright, enough talk, the food's here, let's eat first—" Brother Qi said again, trying to smooth things over.

The dragon glared at Gao Dongxu, snorted coldly, and sat down again. Although he wanted to leave, Gao Dongxu's words left him with a feeling of unease, and he would not be able to rest easy until he understood them.

While he lacked political acumen, he was still quite shrewd. Gao Dongxu's words had indeed touched a nerve he had neglected and was sensitive to. A tool for making money?!
Once the defenses are breached and the seeds of doubt are sown, they will quickly take root and sprout under the nourishment of negative energies such as selfishness, greed, and extremely distorted values.

Once the table was laden with delicious and visually appealing delicacies, the somewhat awkward atmosphere was revived thanks to the deliberately flattering and witty remarks of Yu Jiaqin, nicknamed "Sister Aqing."

It must be said that Yu Jiaqin is indeed very skilled. Even though Gao Dongxu doesn't like Yu Jiaqin, she is very humble and constantly shows weakness to him, using all sorts of sweet words to please him. Gao Dongxu can't keep being cold and sarcastic to her.

It seems that Yu Jiaqin's achievement in building the Qi Group through her own abilities was not entirely unfounded. Her strength lay in her understanding of men better than other women, even better than men themselves, gained through past hardships and suffering. She had developed a set of strategies for dealing with men. These strategies were subtle and insidious, leaving men completely unaware of their presence.

Watching Yu Jiaqin chatting and laughing intimately with Su Yan and the other three women, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity..."

Brother Qi was equally adept at navigating social situations. Although Gao Dongxu and Evil Dragon didn't exchange another word, under his guidance, the two still drank quite a bit of alcohol.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Gao Dongxu, Brother Qi, and Evil Dragon were all somewhat tipsy.

Just as Gao Dongxu was thinking about how to continue digging holes and burying nails for the evil dragon and eliminate the hidden dangers in the food city, Brother Qi and the evil dragon went to the toilet together.

Interestingly, after the two returned, Evil Dragon reluctantly picked up his wine glass and said to Gao Dongxu, "Little Gao, I'm a few years older than you. No matter how unpleasant things were before, I hope we can let bygones be bygones. I'll drink first—"

As he spoke, Gao Dongxu downed the three-ounce glass of Feitian liquor in one gulp, then raised an eyebrow and looked at the smiling Brother Qi.

Brother Qi winked at Gao Dongxu and nodded slightly. Gao Dongxu chuckled inwardly. He was just looking for a way to break the deadlock, and now was the perfect opportunity to back down.

Without saying anything, Gao Dongxu, with an air of "I'm only giving you face," picked up his glass and downed the entire glass of baijiu in one gulp.

"it is good--"

Brother Qi and Yu Jiaqin both clapped and laughed happily, seemingly overjoyed that the two had reconciled.

The evil dragon, who had been gloomy all night, smiled when he saw Gao Dongxu finish his drink and give him face.

"Okay, you're really something. Over the years, no one has ever impressed me, but you're definitely one of them."

"Oh?" Gao Dongxu didn't expect the dragon to say that. He raised an eyebrow and looked at the dragon, saying, "What is it that can make a dragon as arrogant as you submit? I'm very curious."

The evil dragon didn't care about Gao Dongxu's sharp tongue. After all, Gao Dongxu hadn't given him a good look from the beginning, and his words were even more harsh and vicious. So, the evil dragon chose to ignore him.

"It's all because you paid 1 billion yuan in personal income tax. To be honest, if it were me, I would never honestly pay the full amount of tax, even if you were beaten to death. You're really willing to do it."

However, this also gave you direct access to the highest authority, which brought you an unexpected benefit.

When Su Yan and the other three women heard that Gao Dongxu had paid 1 billion yuan in taxes, their beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at him, their eyes filled with shock.

Gao Dongxu smiled and picked up some food with his chopsticks, putting it into his mouth as he said, "It's not that I'm willing to do it, but I have to. I know that with my status, countless people are watching me, and countless people hope that I will make a mistake so that they can find a breakthrough through me and then use me against my uncle at a critical moment."

Therefore, I only earn clean money. With clean money, I can spend it however I want, with peace of mind, and it can withstand investigation.

My uncle once told me, "The benefits gained through power will ultimately be confiscated by new powers."

Gao Dongxu looked sharply at the slightly frowning dragon and smiled, "Today, I'm giving you these words, hoping you'll think about them carefully when you have time."

The evil dragon frowned and fell into deep thought. Brother Qi and Yu Jiaqin exchanged a glance.

Looking at the pensive dragon, Gao Dongxu sighed inwardly, thinking that his own nephew had done quite a lot.

After a long silence, the dragon seemed to have made a decision. He stared directly at Gao Dongxu, his face serious, and said in a deep voice, "Since we've come this far, and since that food court is an eyesore to everyone, then it's going to be demolished—"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the dragon with surprise.

Seeing Gao Dongxu's surprised expression, the evil dragon couldn't help but laugh smugly: "You're willing to spend even a billion, so I can't stoop to that level. It's just a food court. Now, are you satisfied?"

“You’re not entirely beyond redemption—” Gao Dongxu said harshly, but he picked up his glass, raised it to the smiling Evil Dragon, and then drank the wine in his glass.

"Hahaha..." The evil dragon laughed heartily when he saw Gao Dongxu drink the wine. He raised his glass to drink as well. Ever since he met Gao Dongxu, he had been bullied. Now, seeing Gao Dongxu toasting him, this was undoubtedly the happiest and most enjoyable moment for him.

Well, some people are just perverse; the worse you treat them, the more they care.
