Chapter 24: Deterioration of Conflicts

The sound of porcelain shattering was unusually jarring.

In that moment, everyone froze in place, with the movers staring wide-eyed and the villa's bodyguard equally dumbfounded.

At that moment, no one knew what to do.

"What's going on!" After the loud noise, the butler, Li, immediately rushed in, followed by Haigao Peng.

"Wha..." When Haigao Peng saw the floor covered in fragments, and in such a thoroughly smashed manner, his face was filled with shock and disbelief.

"Da Chengzi, what's going on?" Despite being shocked, Haigao Peng's gaze turned towards Chu Tianan and the thin man, and he asked in a deep voice.

"I...I don't know, I suddenly got a leg cramp just now."

At that moment, the thin man's eyes were filled with panic, as he looked at the porcelain shards on the ground, his face turned pale, and he seemed at a loss for words.

"Clap...clap..." At the same time, the applause rang out from the side, including Chu Tianan, all with lightly furrowed brows.

It was Luo Ji who stood up, his face cold and indifferent as he spoke. "I paid for your moving company to come, and this is how you handle it?"

Though his voice was not loud, Haigao Peng's expression changed upon hearing these words.

He quickly approached Luo Ji and spoke with a forced smile. "Young master, it's the fault of my people. Please be forgiving. Da Chengzi supports his entire family. If..."

"Is that your excuse for making a mistake?" Luo Ji sneered, pointing at the shards on the ground. "This large porcelain vase is enough for all of you here to work hard for half a lifetime. And now you say it's just a mistake?"

Especially when Luo Ji's gaze fell on Chu Tianan, he pointed at the latter and said, "When moving the porcelain vase, there was only him. Call the moving company, not a single one should be let go!"

"Yes, young master!" Upon hearing this, the butler Li had already started to take out his phone.

"Mr. Luo..." Haigao Peng's forehead was sweating by this point.

He was afraid of this kind of difficult master, and he had encountered this kind of situation before. But this time, it was the mistake made by his own people that had led to this error.

"I think it was not my companion having a leg cramp, but you acting, isn't it?" At this tense moment, a calm voice drew everyone's attention.

Chu Tianan crouched down, picked up an inconspicuous emerald green pebble from the ground, and said with a faint smile.

"I think... this might be what caused Cheng to have a leg cramp, isn't it?"

"Yes, at the time, I also felt like something hit my leg, otherwise it wouldn't have cramped." The thin man on the side also suddenly realized, nodding repeatedly.

"Talking big, who do you think you are?" Instead of being intimidated, Luo Ji laughed even more recklessly, ignoring the unfriendly gazes of the movers, sneering.

"You smashing our precious belongings, now you want to avoid responsibility?"

"Tianan, this has nothing to do with you, stay out of it." Haigao Peng's mind was already in turmoil at this point, unable to help but shake his head slightly at Chu Tianan.

"Well, since Young Master Luo has said so, let's call the police and confirm whose responsibility this is." With that, Chu Tianan stepped forward, holding the small stone and smiling.

"Luo Ji, would young master like to have this stone fingerprinted?"

Upon hearing the three words 'fingerprinting', Luo Ji's expression changed slightly, then he became angry and embarrassed. "Okay, now the workers don't even show any respect for the boss. Someone, take him and that man, send them to the police station."

"Yes!" Immediately, two of the bodyguards separated, both of them sneering menacingly, holding explosive-proof short sticks in their hands.

"No...I don't want to go to the police station!" Da Chengzi's face was full of fear, looking at the two burly men coming at him, he instinctively fought back, even knocking down one of them.

"You damn brat, if I don't show you who's the boss, you'll soar to the heavens." The other burly man saw this and cursed angrily. He swung the short stick harshly at Da Chengzi's arm, causing him to cry out in pain, clutching his arm, the pain causing cold sweat to pour down.

"Cheng!""Da Chengzi!"

Chu Tianan and Haigao Peng both shouted, the former's eyes instantly becoming incredibly cold, sharp as a blade, glaring at Luo Ji.

"Take him down!" Seeing Chu Tianan's sharp gaze, for some reason Luo Ji's body trembled slightly. He knew the other was an advanced student, so he quickly shouted in a harsh tone.

"Kid, dare to resist and I'll disable you!" The remaining two bodyguards swung their short sticks directly at Chu Tianan, possibly because of what had happened to Da Chengzi earlier.

At that moment, Chu Tianan finally took action.

"Luo Ji, you forced me."
