Return to the City: The Strongest King
Chapter 926 - 927: Beat You Up

Chapter 926: Chapter 927: Beat You Up

Although Miao Qingqing and the other two girls were physically weak, don’t forget who they were—they were Song Xiaodong’s women. Even though the Su Family didn’t have many masters, these three had learned some self-defense techniques during their time together.

Just now, they were merely teaching Matsumoto Koji a lesson, and if he had backed down, that would have been the end of it. But now, seeing him in this state, there was no way they would remain polite.

Sun Ziyun, the most audacious of the three, dared to launch an attack. She lifted her leg and delivered a sharp kick directly to Matsumoto Koji’s vital area.

Matsumoto Koji let out a muffled groan, his hands instantly covering his crotch, his body bending over in pain. Miao Qingqing seized a nearby file bag and swung it heavily at Matsumoto Koji’s head.

The file bag was filled entirely with paper, and due to its bulk, getting hit with it was no small matter. The blow landed heavily on Matsumoto Koji’s head, forcing him to kneel onto the floor with a thud.

"Baka..." Matsumoto Koji gritted his teeth and cursed, sweat streaming down his face from the pain. Fortunately, Sun Ziyun’s kick hadn’t landed perfectly; her force wasn’t fully exerted. Though he was in pain, he could still speak. He glared at the three women and spat, "How dare you hit me..."

Miao Qingqing stared coldly at Matsumoto Koji and shouted, "This is China! There’s no room for a Japanese person like you to act so arrogant here."

"You... I won’t let you off! Mark my words, one day I’ll make you kneel before me, beg me to ruin you!"

"Go to hell!" Sun Ziyun delivered another kick, sending Matsumoto Koji sprawling backward.

"Catch them!" Matsumoto Koji shouted furiously as he saw the three women preparing to leave.

The door to the room immediately burst open, and three people rushed inside—two were bodyguards hired by Matsumoto Koji, while the other was Shen Ning.

"Seize them!" Matsumoto Koji snarled viciously.

The two bodyguards’ expressions hardened as they lunged at Miao Qingqing’s group.

"How daring!" Shen Ning took a quick step forward, intercepting them. In just three punches and two kicks, she had already knocked the two bodyguards to the ground. Although they had decent combat skills, they were far from elite fighters. Compared to regular bodyguards, they might have been somewhat stronger, but against someone as skilled as Shen Ning, they were no match at all.

"You... Fine! I definitely won’t be cooperating with you!" Matsumoto Koji’s face twitched as he watched his two bodyguards, who were supposed to be reliable, get taken down like children by a woman. Yet his expression became increasingly twisted with rage.

Miao Qingqing stared at Matsumoto Koji and said coldly, "With your character, even if you handed over all the benefits to us, our Su Family still wouldn’t collaborate with you. Let me also warn you—you’d better behave yourself in Minghe, or you’ll regret it!"

With that commanding remark, Miao Qingqing turned and walked out with her companions.

"Baka! Baka yarou!" Matsumoto Koji, regaining his composure, slumped onto the sofa, cursing angrily.

He had originally thought that coming to China meant he could dominate everything, acting with impunity. Yet now, he had been beaten up by three women at the very start. How could he possibly stomach such humiliation?

Immediately, Matsumoto Koji pulled out his phone, summoned a translator, and made a call directly to Shen Dongyang.

"Mayor Shen, this is Matsumoto Koji from the Lingtian Group."

At that moment, Shen Dongyang had just arrived home. Having recently assumed office, he was inundated with responsibilities, leaving him feeling burned out. Even so, he maintained a sense of excitement, particularly over Matsumoto Koji’s arrival, as it could bring substantial political achievements.

However, receiving a call from Matsumoto Koji at this hour puzzled him. "Mr. Matsumoto, this is Shen Dongyang," he replied.

"Mayor Shen, the environment here isn’t very welcoming," Matsumoto Koji remarked, his words immediately relayed by the translator in fluent Chinese to Shen Dongyang.

"What happened?" Shen Dongyang’s heart tightened. Comments about the "environment" could range from trivial to significant.

"Earlier, I was discussing a collaboration with people from your Su Corporation. During the negotiations, because they were dissatisfied with my terms, they physically assaulted me. Look at me—I’ve been seriously injured now. I demand Mayor Shen provide an explanation, or I’ll escalate this matter through the embassy. We came here to do business, yet were subjected to such treatment—how does one expect us to invest here?"

"The Su Corporation? Are you referring to the three women from Su Corporation who were scheduled to meet you tonight?" Shen Dongyang immediately sensed that this matter might be more complicated than it appeared.

"Exactly! It was them. They must be severely punished, or I’ll leave Minghe and refuse to invest here! I’ll also escalate this through the embassy."

Shen Dongyang felt deeply troubled and rushed to say, "Alright, I’ll look into this immediately and provide Mr. Matsumoto with a satisfactory response."

"Mayor Shen, how you handle this will determine whether we proceed with investments here. Consider your actions carefully." Matsumoto Koji’s words were clearly intended to pressure Shen Dongyang.

After hanging up, Sun Dongxiang noticed Shen Dongyang’s darkened expression and immediately asked with concern, "What’s the matter?"

"This is troublesome," Shen Dongyang sighed, briefly recounting the incident before saying, "I’ll call Song Xiaodong right away to figure out his stance on this situation."

Song Xiaodong quickly answered the call, and Shen Dongyang asked, "Song Xiaodong, your wife just fought with Matsumoto Koji. Do you know the details?" Due to Shen Dongyang’s current status, addressing him as "Little Song" was no longer appropriate, and "Mr. Song" felt too formal, so he had no choice but to directly use Song Xiaodong’s full name.

Song Xiaodong replied solemnly, "They haven’t returned yet, but they’ve already informed me by phone. That despicable man deserved to be beaten."

Shen Dongyang didn’t need Song Xiaodong to elaborate—he could already guess the general cause. Having encountered Song Xiaodong’s women before, Shen Dongyang knew that none of them lacked sophistication or class. They wouldn’t have attacked without reason; the only plausible scenario was Matsumoto Koji attempting something inappropriate, leading to this outcome.

Shen Dongyang carefully chose his words and said, "If they struck him, there’s no doubt we’re in the right. However, he’s a Japanese businessman here for significant investments, and such matters involve broader implications. Handling this situation carefully will be crucial. Do you have any suggestions to ease the tension?"

"Why bother easing tensions? China is a proud, powerful nation now, thriving like never before. Do you think one Japanese businessman can come here and flaunt dominance over us? We’re not the poor and backward country we used to be. If he wants to invest here, he must follow our laws and behave properly—then we’ll welcome him. If he refuses, he can get out!"

Shen Dongyang felt both ashamed and inspired by Song Xiaodong’s words. He shook his head lightly, his expression becoming solemn as he replied, "Song Xiaodong, you are absolutely right! My thinking was flawed—I cannot compromise China’s dignity for short-term gains!"

[Author’s note: Regarding the update schedule for next month—my daughter’s college entrance exams are approaching, marking a critical Chapter in her life. As a father, I realize I won’t be able to focus entirely on writing. After her exams on the 8th, I’ll take her to attend self-enrollment tests, then return to research and plan out her application submissions. June will undoubtedly be a hectic and tense month. Starting from the 1st, I won’t be able to update as much. However, I’ll do my best to maintain daily updates, though the volume may vary. I hope you all understand.]
