Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

237 I Heard You’re Not Afraid of Ghosts Knocking on the Door in the Middle of the Night?

Kang De’s scream went beyond the realm of misery.

Even Xie Guangjun was shocked.

He indeed had the intention to compete and teach Kang De a lesson. In any case, if there was any confrontation in the handshake between men, this would be the first round of competition. The winner could show his strength and establish his confidence, and the loser would not announce it because of his face and self-esteem.

This was Young Master Xie’s experience. It worked every time.

However…

—Why was this guy so shameless?!

Beside him was the police station. This matter was really too simple. Xie Guangjun hurriedly wanted to shake off his hand, but who knew that this fellow would hold it tightly and he could not break free for a while?

He said angrily, “Let go and shut up!”

As Kang De howled, he took the time to whisper, “No! You have to pay more!”

If it was anywhere else, with Xie Guangjun’s bad temper, he might have stepped up. What buying a house, what guilt, what secrets? He did not care anymore. He would beat him up to vent his anger first.

However, this was the police station.

Fighting here was simply humiliating the country and public security. He would get arrested on the spot.

Not only was it embarrassing, but the risk was also huge.

For example, if they asked in the first trial, did they know each other? Why did they fight?

This kid would spill the beans. He had just met him and wanted to buy a haunted house at twice the price. This sounded very suspicious.

If this grandson really knew something and said something he should not have, then…

There was huge trouble.

Xie Guangjun gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, alright, alright! I’ll pay more! Shut up!”

In the next moment, a head poked out of the police box at the entrance of the police station and looked over. He must have heard the commotion. Kang De had already let go of Xie Guangjun’s hand at lightning speed and revealed a charming smile. He hugged Young Master Xie’s shoulder and smiled at the police officer in embarrassment, “I’m joking, I’m joking.”

The police officer seriously sized up the two of them, then smiled and returned.

Then, Xie Guangjun struggled free and growled, “What do you want?”

Kang De widened his eyes and said, “You begged to buy my house. Is this how you speak? You should thank me for taking the time to see you and discuss the details of the house purchase with you. Why are you shouting?”

With that, he walked towards the small milk tea shop in Deer Mourn Alley.

He waved his hand. “Come, treat me to milk tea.”

Xie Guangjun simply gritted his teeth. He had not been so angry in a long, long time. Before he came, he really did not expect a person to be so annoying.

He was so annoying on the phone, but after meeting him, he was actually even more annoying.

His eyes were cold, but he still followed.

Kang De leaned against the counter and looked at the menu. He immediately saw what he wanted to order.

“Hello, Red Robe Milk Tea, extra pearls.”

Kang De bared his shining teeth. “Three cups.”

After the shop assistant calculated the price, Kang De snapped his fingers coolly. “Pay the bill.”

Xie Guangjun took out his phone with a cold expression and scanned the QR code to pay.

Kang De said in surprise, “Do you rich second-generation heirs also use mobile payment? Don’t you need a checkbook?”

Young Master Xie glanced at him with an indifferent gaze and a cold expression.

After collecting the bill, the shop assistant could not help but look at the two of them.

To be honest, Xie Guangjun looked quite good. He had curly dyed hair, was tall, and had a straight posture. He also had a confident temperament nurtured by often spending money extravagantly and being surrounded. Coupled with the enhancement of his cold expression at this moment, he looked like a very domineering CEO—at least in the hearts of most ignorant girls.

Although Kang De could not be considered an earth-shattering peerless handsome man, his more than a year of experience in the other world had ultimately changed many things. Coupled with the sloppy look he deliberately revealed to provoke Xie Guangjun, in the eyes of outsiders who did not know the truth, he had a cynical temperament.

Such two beautiful men with different temperaments were together, and such a conversation had happened…

Let’s summarize.

In the shop assistant girl’s eyes, these two men each had their own temperaments. One was sloppy, and the other was cold and domineering. Most importantly, they were both good-looking, so she began to imagine an indescribable scene.

Fujoshis only knew how to fantasize about two handsome men and would not fantasize about fat otakus at all. They were not worthy.

As she speculated about their relationship and story, she began to work. Soon, she made a cup, put it in a bag, and pushed it to Kang De.

Kang De eagerly pulled out the straw and inserted it. He wiped the little finger of his right hand as if nothing had happened.

“Come, come, come. Young Master Xie, please drink.”

Xie Guangjun looked at the appearance of the shop, then at the appearance of this milk tea, and then at Kang De’s smile. He thought that he had paid the bill and was very unhappy.

He said coldly, “I’m not drinking it.”

Kang De glared at him and said, “Why? You’re not giving me face, right?”

—D*mn, I paid for this!

These words were especially familiar. Xie Guangjun used this simple sentence to force many people to drink.

He liked the feeling of forcing people to drink because people who did not want to drink for various reasons had to drink that disgusting wine in the end, regardless of whether it was mixed with medicine, other alcohol, or cigarette butts.

He liked this feeling because by forcing others, he clearly felt the prestige and strength he had, because the other party had no choice but to drink, even if it meant hurting him.

Only then could he realize that he was Xie Guangjun, Xie Ligan’s second son. He was also respected, afraid, and valued, and he was also high and mighty.

Now…

“Hurry up and drink it.” The annoying kid opposite him chuckled, “Otherwise, I’ll splash this cup of milk tea in your face. Then, you’ll start hitting me, and the two of us will go to the neighboring house to drink some other tea. I don’t mind wasting a few days. Do you mind?”

‘You don’t mind?’

This sentence contained a meaningful hint that meant something. A cold glint suddenly appeared in Xie Guangjun’s eyes as he stared fixedly at Kang De, almost devouring him.

He whispered, “What do you know?”

Kang De blinked. “What, what?”

Xie Guangjun stared at him and suddenly sneered.

“I see.”

He knocked his head. “I see, I see. So that’s how it is.”

Realization, anger, absurdity… All kinds of emotions appeared on his face.

He sighed, “I should have thought of it long ago… You actually don’t know. Otherwise, no matter what your goal is, you don’t have to argue with me here.”

Kang De tilted his head. “What?”

Xie Guangjun suddenly reached out and slapped the milk tea in Kang De’s hand away, causing it to fall to the ground.

The shop assistant who had been secretly paying attention exclaimed softly.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. It’s fine.”

Kang De turned around and comforted him, “City H hasn’t implemented trash classification yet. I’ll clean up later.”

Xie Guangjun sneered and patted his head, revealing an irritable and self-deprecating smile.

“I really… didn’t understand before.” He sneered and stretched out his hand, pointing at Kang De’s nose. “I’m actually played by you until now. Kang De, you’re amazing.”

Kang De leaned against the counter and still smiled. “It’s the honor of your life to let me play with you.”

Xie Guangjun’s smile became even more mocking. After finally understanding and finally seeing through the background of this person in front of him, there was only disdain and disgust in his heart. Such a b*stard, such a scoundrel, and such a despicable person were completely not worth being angry about. He could just crush him like an ant.

He said coldly, “You want to blackmail me, right? I’ve recently started planning a supernatural show and took a fancy to the haunted house you bought. I wanted to buy it at a high price. I didn’t expect you to hear groundless news from somewhere and think that I have something to hide, so you wanted to blackmail me, right?”

“Dream on!”

He said sternly, “If you have any evidence, the police station is beside you. You can report it to the public security bureau. There’s no need to circle around me here. I, Xie Guangjun, am indomitable. If I don’t do anything wrong, I’m not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door! I indeed want to buy this house of yours. If you want to sell it, everyone will be happy! However, if you deliberately want to extort me, I can tell you that you might end up worse off!”

This little mouth spoke righteously like he had a clear conscience.

—If not for the fact that I saw your name and her monstrous hatred from the female ghost with my own eyes and became even more certain of your suspicion through many negotiations today, I would really f*cking believe you.

Kang De sighed. “Brother, there’s no need to do this. I didn’t record your words.”

Xie Guangjun sneered and turned to walk towards his sports car.

The shop assistant pushed the remaining two cups of milk tea over in fear. Kang De picked them up and ignored the other party’s subtle gaze before quickly chasing after him. “Young Master Xie, Young Master Xie, wait, wait.”

Xie Guangjun had already arrived at the sports car. He turned to look at Kang De with a calm expression and arrogant eyes as if he was looking down from the clouds, filled with indifference and disdain.

It was as if he was looking at something dirty.

“You’re so sad, really.”

He said in a mocking tone, “Shameless, greedy, opportunistic, and despicable, but I have to thank you for teaching me a lesson.”

It was as if he was willing to stop and say one last thing to Kang De because he was reflecting.

Or rather, sharing the joy of victory made the prey in front of him start to feel fear from now on.

He said, “From yesterday to today, I’ve been flustered by you. I’ve received the most elite education since I was young. I have many tutors. I’ve studied overseas. Until now, I still exercise every week and maintain my self-discipline. I’m an elite, young entrepreneur. I’ve always been more hardworking than you and most people in the world. Even now, I don’t dare to relax. Therefore, I succeeded. Therefore, I’ve become above everyone else and have wealth that you can’t have in your life…”

Kang De had been listening seriously. At this moment, he suddenly burst out laughing.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’ve received strict training. No matter how funny it is, I won’t laugh unless I can’t help it… Young Master Xie, there are really too many flaws in your words. I don’t know where to start.”

Kang De held back his laughter and said, “However, what I can’t help but say the most is this—I don’t dare to relax even now. Young Master Xie, when you say that you don’t dare to relax, do you mean that you went to a nightclub last night and stayed up all night?”

Xie Guangjun revealed an angry expression. Then, this anger disappeared.

He chuckled and sneered, “It’s useless Kang De, your trick is useless now. The reason why I was tricked by you earlier was that I spoke to you as an elite and upper-class person, but you used the method of a local hooligan to deal with me and pulled me into your rhythm… That’s why I was at a disadvantage.”

“But I understood. I came back to my senses.”

“I can’t reason with a person like you at all, and you won’t listen to good things. Only when a b*stard like you gets hurt will you know fear and what politeness is.”

“Therefore, I think I understand why I’m afraid of you. You should be afraid of me. You want to slander me, take advantage of me, and trick me. Do you know my surname is Xie?! Do you know the consequences?!”

Kang De nodded repeatedly and kept agreeing, but he burst out laughing.

“Next, I’ll let you experience my methods and rhythm. Kang De, you’ll know that an upstart like Wang Xiaoman is not considered rich. I’ll let you know how rich people do things.”

Xie Guangjun’s tone was still calm and indifferent. He did not care about Kang De’s interruption and laughter.

When Kang De heard this, he said excitedly, “F*ck, is it so awesome? Do you want to hire a hitman? D*mn, d*mn, d*mn, it appeared. It’s the classic method of a rich second-generation heir. However, Brother, I have to remind you that reality is not a novel. You can’t cover the sky with one hand. In a legal society, aren’t you afraid of breaking the law?”

Xie Guangjun sneered, “You can still smile cheekily now. You’re indeed quite remarkable. I hope you can continue to maintain it. As for the law… don’t worry.”

“Poor guy, do you know what one of the cruelest things in this society is?”

“It’s you stupid commoners who were about to pick up the weapons of the law to protect yourselves when you discovered that not only are we far richer than you, but we also know the law better than you…” Xie Guangjun sneered.

“Take care.”

At this moment, Young Master Xie had completely recovered his impressive aura and confidence.

He said leisurely, “By the way, I still want to buy that house, but it won’t be at that price anymore. Moreover, I won’t beg you to sell it… Let’s see.”

Then, he sat in the car.

“Hey, wait, milk tea, milk tea.”

Kang De raised the two bags in his hand.

Xie Guangjun said indifferently, “You can keep it for yourself.”

Kang De shook his head and said, “I don’t want to drink such disgusting things. These two glasses are not for you, but for your lackey. I’ve been angry when I woke up these past two days and spoke a little rashly, so this is my apology to him.”

Xie Guangjun originally wanted to leave, but when he looked at the two cups of milk tea, his heart stirred and he revealed a strange smile.

“Alright then,” he said indifferently. “It’s good that you don’t like it. It’ll come in handy.”

Kang De smiled and walked around to the other side. He placed the milk tea on the front passenger seat and patted the back of the front passenger seat. He clicked his tongue and said, “This material is indeed high-end.”

Xie Guangjun frowned, but he did not take this action to heart.

What a poor fellow. There was no need to mind his ignorance.

The extremely exciting engine of the sports car roared.

He glanced at Kang De indifferently, “All your calculations were in vain. How does it feel?”

Kang De smiled and said, “No, I’ve achieved both my goals today.”

“What’s the goal?”

“Firstly, find a simple-minded person to cheer me up. Secondly…”

Kang De looked at Xie Guangjun and smiled sincerely, “Confirm what you look like.”

Xie Guangjun did not speak anymore. The sports car roared and left.

Kang De watched the sports car leave, then picked up the cup of milk tea that had been sent flying. He did not throw it directly into the trash can. Instead, he carried the plastic bag and prepared to bring it home to deal with it.

This was mixed with the elements extracted from the laxative. Xie Guangjun was not fooled, so he could not directly throw it away. If there were scavengers or sanitation workers who drank it on impulse, it would be too sinful.

“Put it in the refrigerator first and treat him to it in the future.”

As Kang De walked, he muttered softly, “D*mn, he’s really not stupid.”

The fun was over, so it was time to do something else.

In any case, he knew what Xie Guangjun looked like. In any case, he had left a spatial anchor on the sports car.

It seemed that this Young Master Xie was going to use the methods of rich people. Then, Master Kang had to try righteous methods.

“What did he tell me earlier?”

“He, Xie Guangjun, is indomitable and didn’t do anything wrong…” Kang De scratched his face, “Isn’t he afraid of ghosts knocking on the door?”
