After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 273 - 271: Embarrassing Thing!

Shen Fanyun exhaled a puff of smoke toward Long Qingwen and smiled faintly.

Wen Ruyue, sitting on the ground, laughed through her rage. She unleashed a torrent of abuse at Long Qingwen, "You deserve it! You completely deserve it! That's what you get, Long Qingwen, you bastard! Acting all high and mighty with no real power. Let's see what you do now! You animal! Why weren't you beaten to death on the spot? Seeing you get thrashed makes me a hundred and twenty percent happy. I'm ecstatic! Hahaha, you had it coming! It would've been best if they'd beaten you to death!"

Long Qingwen's followers, a group of young men led by Xu Haofeng, huddled motionless in a corner. Even though Long Qingwen was nearly beaten to his knees, they chose to see nothing, hear nothing, and know nothing.

This Shen Fanyun is too brutal; he's not someone ordinary people can provoke. Didn't you see that even Boss Long couldn't handle him? If we go up there, wouldn't we be asking for death?!

At that moment, Long Qingwen's face was smeared with blood. He resembled a complete clown as he looked left and right, still attempting to project the aura of a big shot.

Zhan Feng sent another slap across his face. Wen Ruyue could see the fat on Long Qingwen's cheeks tremble as he whimpered, his face turning pale with fright. Another merciless slap followed, and blood began to ooze from his nose and mouth. He waved his hands wildly, as if trying to grab onto something, only to be met with another loud, crisp slap.

Shen Fanyun decided that was enough and called Zhan Feng off. He leaned in, a smile playing on his lips. "Boss Long, I've beaten you to this state. You're not still going to give me that old line about how we're all civilized people who disdain reckless fighting, are you? You, the great Boss Long, with your imposing aura and majestic presence, have been beaten into this sorry state, and yet you have no desire for revenge? Boss Long?"

Shen Fanyun grinned, revealing a set of brilliant white teeth, the very picture of innocence.

HISS!

Long Qingwen clutched his face, staring silently at Shen Fanyun. He was regretting his decision so much that his guts could have turned green. Whether Wen Ruyue lived or died, what did it have to do with him?

After a long pause, he finally devised his next move. His gaze turned sharp as he spoke ominously, "You… you really have a death wish. I tried to mediate this conflict with kind words time and time again. Not only did you not appreciate it, but you also acted with such impunity. Heh. You asked for this. Don't blame me, Long Qingwen, for being ruthless when I have right on my side, for being a senior who bullies a junior."

Long Qingwen gritted his teeth. Once he composed himself, he asked Shen Fanyun coolly, "Since you operate in Hangcheng City, you should know of Han Long."

"Oh?" Shen Fanyun's interest was piqued. It had been a while since he'd heard Han Long's name.

"Heh." Long Qingwen waved a hand grandly, and his next words left Shen Fanyun momentarily stunned. "I'm telling you, Han Long is my underling. Back in the day, the only reason Han Long could rise up and build his current empire was thanks to my help. You're targeting me now? Heh, just wait until I make one call to bring Han Long over. You'll be dead meat! Han Long doesn't listen to anyone, but when it comes to me, Long Qingwen, he is completely and utterly obedient!"

Long Qingwen roared. It had to be said, his aura, his posturing, and his confident declaration were quite intimidating. Anyone who didn't know better would have been easily frightened by this so-called Boss Long.

Shen Fanyun couldn't stand the guy's constant spouting of nonsense anymore and cut him off. "Alright, alright. I have Han Long's contact information right here. Here, I'll lend it to you. I'll be waiting for your little underling to come and rescue you!"

Shen Fanyun pulled out his phone and placed it on the table. He had dealt with Han Long before; both were aware of each other. If they needed to talk, a single phone call was indeed all it would take. However, their conversation would likely be anything but peaceful. After all, compared to Long Qingwen, Han Long was far more eager to kill him in one fell swoop!

Long Qingwen's eyes flickered, his discomfort obvious, but he still feigned calm. "Are you bluffing me? He's my underling. How could you possibly have his contact information? Do you think Han Long is some nobody that anyone can get in touch with? Heh, stop trying to posture in front of me."

Long Qingwen gave a disdainful smile, thoughtfully sizing up Shen Fanyun.

Shen Fanyun had more or less figured it out. This guy, addicted to posturing, was blowing smoke again. The only difference this time was that his boast was so big it had dragged Han Long into it. Han Long probably wouldn't bother with a worthless windbag like this, right?

"You're not afraid of Han Long? Do you have any idea who Han Long is?" Long Qingwen asked in disbelief. Han Long is a local titan. Who in Hangcheng City doesn't show him some respect? This is a man on the verge of becoming the richest in the region; in Hangcheng City, he's practically invincible. Shen Fanyun dares to provoke him? And faced with his name, Shen Fanyun is completely unfazed, not showing even the slightest trace of reverence or fear?

Shen Fanyun said, "Isn't he your underling? I dare to hit you, so why would I be afraid of your underling? Boss Long, why is your logic getting more and more twisted and harder to understand?"

He swallowed hard, rendered completely speechless by Shen Fanyun.

Wen Ruyue's face turned deathly pale as the hope that had just begun to swell within her was shattered once more. She had genuinely clung to the sliver of a chance that she had misunderstood him, that Long Qingwen really could call in formidable backup. But here he was, still spouting lies. Even at this critical moment, he was still in the mood to put on an act.

He's been beaten to a pulp, yet he's still acting all high and mighty, bragging about how powerful he and his underlings are. Does this man even know how to write the word 'shame'?

Shen Fanyun gave Zhan Feng a look. Zhan Feng nodded, took out his phone, and gave some instructions to his men. Long Qingwen and Wen Ruyue fell silent, wondering what new trick Shen Fanyun had up his sleeve.

「Ten minutes later.」

Zhan Feng picked up his phone, glanced at it briefly, and let out a chuckle before handing it to Shen Fanyun. Shen Fanyun's eyes lit up. He had to admit, Long Qingwen was a truly interesting specimen, an even bigger joke than the legendary duo 'Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix.'

A strange character like this was truly a rare sight! Where on earth did Wen Ruyue dig up this treasure?

"Long Qingwen, original name Long Tai. Hmm, indeed a native of Capital City, the third child in his family," Shen Fanyun murmured.

How did this kid find out my real name?

"Twenty years ago, you were quite a figure, I see. But due to failed investments, you've not only been buried in debt for the past five years, but you even became a court-ordered restricted spender? Tsk, tsk, Boss Long. Your life is truly something else! You went from a net worth of hundreds of millions to being completely ruined in just a few years?"

Wen Ruyue was truly unlucky. She was already in deep trouble, only to be played by a con man and remain completely in the dark.

What? A court-ordered restricted spender? Wen Ruyue thought for a moment that she had misheard.

Long Qingwen's heart pounded in his chest. How on earth did Shen Fanyun investigate him so thoroughly in such a short amount of time? He had even found out his original name. Such methods!

"You…" Long Qingwen gritted his teeth, ready to explode with rage.

"What? Is this information not accurate?" Shen Fanyun countered.

Long Qingwen immediately shut up.

Shen Fanyun shot Wen Ruyue a meaningful look. "This old goat has been hiding out in Hangcheng City these past few days to dodge his debts. Did he tell you he was here to attend some important event? What important event is happening in Hangcheng City recently?"

Wen Ruyue felt her mind reeling. She thought she had found a powerful backer. Who would have thought he was actually a deadbeat? A dishonest deadbeat drowning in debt?

Wen Ruyue completely lost it. She had been so tragically deceived by this scoundrel. This old creep was even planning to sleep with her. If she had shown a moment of weakness and boarded this old fraud's sinking ship, wouldn't she have suffered a double loss, losing everything for nothing?

"Ahhh! You bastard! If you don't have any real fucking skills, why were you running your mouth? Pretending to be a big shot, have you no shame? Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused me? If you can't help me with my problems, you can just stay the hell away! Why did you agree to help? Don't you have any self-awareness about whether you're capable or not?"

Wen Ruyue was on the verge of insanity. This Long Qingwen hadn't just wasted her time; he had lied to her.

Long Qingwen ducked his head and retorted, "Weren't you the one who came looking for me?"

"I came to you hoping you could help! If you couldn't help, why did you blindly agree? You piece of garbage! Useless trash! Fuck you, you disgusting bastard! I wish you would just drop dead right now!"

If only… if only she, Wen Ruyue, had found someone reliable, she wouldn't have ended up in such a passive position. She had completely missed her best opportunity because of Long Qingwen.

Drenched in Wen Ruyue's verbal abuse, Long Qingwen shrank back, not daring to utter a single word. Of course, he didn't dare look at Shen Fanyun either. The fact that Shen Fanyun could uncover his entire background in ten minutes proved he was not someone to be trifled with. Besides, he was just a deadbeat! A shameless deadbeat who couldn't even live a normal life anymore. What capital did he have to go against Shen Fanyun?

Bluffing? A failed bluff would only lead to more humiliation! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Long Qingwen genuinely didn't dare to spout any more nonsense. Enraged, Wen Ruyue took off her high heel and smashed it hard against Long Qingwen's head!

This disgraceful, self-righteous, clueless piece of trash, why won't he just die?! Why?! Right now, Wen Ruyue was seething. Compared to Shen Fanyun, Long Qingwen was far more detestable, deserving to be sliced into a thousand pieces, chopped up, and fed to the dogs! Without Long Qingwen, perhaps she wouldn't be in such a miserable, pathetic, and helpless state today!
