âXia Haiquan, how dare you do this?!â Chairman Xu stared at Xia Haiquan in disbelief. His veins could be seen popping on his forehead as he said that in a trembling voice.
âWhy wouldnât I dare?â
Xia Haiquan narrowed his eyes. His gaze had a fearsome gaze to it. âIâll give you another chance. Hand over all of Wanrong Technologyâs shares and technology. If you do that, Iâll spare your lives!â
âXia Haiquan, youâre crazy. What do you think your fate will be if you do that?â Chairman Ouyang sneered. âItâs not too late to turn back now.â
âTurn back? Wahaha. Are you trying to make me laugh to my death?â Xia Haiquan burst out laughing condescendingly at all those around him. âSeems like itâs time for you to give up.â
With that, he clapped his hands. Five people immediately walked out from each room adjacent to the private room and entered theirs!
There were a total of ten people; each of them emitting the aura of a killer. Although they were dressed differently, they were all wearing black with a unique symbol printed on their clothes. They looked down at the group condescendingly as they lost their ability to resist.
âTheyâre...foreigners?â Chairman Xuâs expression changed. Compared to before, his heart fell into complete despair. Goosebumps appeared all over his body as he was filled with frustrations and anger.
âXia Haiquan, youâre crazy! Regardless of the situation, you canât be in league with foreigners. Do you know youâre betraying your country? Donât you know the importance of technology?â Chairman Ouyang bellowed as his body trembled.
âXia Haiquan, youâre conspiring with foreigners to steal our countryâs technology. Thatâs a felony! I have the right to arrest you!â Xu Nan blurted.
âHehe, donât give me that talk about patriotism. Iâll work with whoever that benefits me!â Xia Haiquan sneered. Following that, he shifted his gaze to Xu Nan. âNiece Xu, donât bother struggling. This is Bone-Softening Powder. Itâs impossible for you to use your strength!â
He was finally showing his true colors. The previous friendliness was just to lull them to take the poison!
âThatâs right. Thatâs the Bone-Softening Powder of our Earthâs Gate Dojo. Itâs tailor-made for martial artists. Even a martial artist will lose his ability to move!â said someone behind him in a cold voice.
That was obviously the leader. He had a hooked nose and emitted a terrifying aura, pressuring all those around him. One could tell that he was a ruthless person.
âEarthâs Gate Dojo? Youâre from the Sun Nation!â Xu Nanâs face turned pale. Sun Nationâs evil deeds were still fresh in her mind. Most importantly, Xia Haiquan was actually working with those from the Sun Nation. That was just too low!
With the people from Earthâs Gate interfering, it threw them into utter despair as the Earthâs Gate Dojo were fully capable of transporting them out of the country. By then, their fate would be out of their control! This matter must have been planned way in advance.
âUncle Xu.â Right then, Xia Jun suddenly stood up. His fiery gaze locked onto Xu Nan. âPlease let me propose my marriage to your family!â
âMarriage proposal?â
Everyone was caught off guard. Meanwhile, Xu Huaâs expression instantly turned extremely ugly. âXia Jun, donât you dare!â
âHehe, Uncle Xu, Iâm being respectful because youâre my elder. Itâs not like you donât know about my love for Xu Nan. However, youâve never considered my feelings at all. How am I not worthy of Xu Nan?!â
âPtooey! Iâd rather die than marry you!â Xu Nan retorted immediately.
âHehehe, hahaha...â Xia Junâs eyes turned red. He growled through gritted teeth like a mad dog, âWhy wouldnât you accept me? I know. Itâs because youâre in love with this little vermin!â
Xia Jun pointed at Ye Lingchen. âJust what do you see in him? Heâs just a little more handsome, smarter, and slightly better than me! What else does he have?â
His words stunned everyone. For a short time, they were at a loss for words. That was definitely a ruthless person.
Ye Lingchen finally understood where Xia Junâs animosity toward him originated from. The root of the problem was his brilliance. The tall trees would face the strongest winds!
âIâll be honest with you! Xu Wanqingâs previous kidnapping was because of us leaking information to the Earthâs Gate! Since you donât appreciate me, then Iâll destroy you and humiliate you! Wahahaha...â Xia Jun seemed to have lost it. âToo bad the previous attempt was foiled by that moron Superman Y!â
âYouâre shameless!â Xu Nan shot him an icy glare.
âNothing will be in your control today!â Xia Jun grinned cruelly as he walked toward Xu Nan. âIâll marry you tonight!â
âYou..â Terror flashed in Xu Nanâs eyes as her body trembled.
Chairman Xu and Chairman Ouyangâs faces were as red as lobsters, overflowing with rage. Tears flowed down their cheeks. âChairman Ye, Nanâer, Wanqing, Qingâer. This is all my fault.â
The outcome was obvious for those that fell into the hands of those from Earthâs Gate Dojo.
âStay away from me!â Xu Nan screamed at the top of her lungs.
âWahaha, scream all you want. The more you scream, the more excited Iâll be. Iâll bring you next door right now to complete our marriage ceremony!â Xia Jun laughed like a madman.
âSuch a ruthless man!â
A calm voice spread across the room, catching everyone off guard. Their gaze immediately focused on the source of that voice.
All they saw was a calm Ye Lingchen. He did not show a shred of fear. In fact, he was still holding onto the cup in his hand and took another sip of the liquor, seemingly without a care.
âMaster, that liquor is poisoned!â Xu Nan immediately warned him. The others were stunned, unable to comprehend what he was planning.
âIt matters not.â Ye Lingchen waved his hand nonchalantly, maintaining his carefree demeanor, and took another sip.
âActing tough?â
Xia Jun was taken aback at first, then laughed as he ridiculed him excitedly, âItâs said that the heavens is fair. If a door opened for you, then a window would surely be shut. The wisdom of the old is right! You have amazing abilities, yet youâre stupid! In this aspect, youâre my lesser! Wahahaha...â
âDo you know that the more smug you are, the worse your crying will be later?â Ye Lingchen stated calmly.
âWhat nonsense!â Xia Jun did not take Ye Lingchen seriously. He sneered, âDo you know why we used such a precious commodity like the Bone-Softening Powder on you guys? Itâs because we know that youâre good at Kungfu! It seems that youâre addicted to showing off. Your intelligence is affected!â
The people from Earthâs Gate Dojo swept through those in the room, then finally focused onto Ye Lingchen. Their voices were devoid of emotions. âWeâve investigated you. Youâre highly skilled in technology and shouldâve mastered the core technology of the autonomous vehicle. If you hand that technology to us, not only would we spare your life, we can ensure you live the rest of your life comfortably! Our Sun Nation treasures talent.â
âWhat if I say no?â Ye Lingchen asked with a smile.
Seeing Ye Lingchenâs smile, that person felt a sudden ominous feeling in his heart. However, he still offered a reply, âIf you donât, we have 108 ways to make you share them when we get back to Earthâs Gate Dojo. However, if thatâs the case, your life will not be as comfortable.â
âEarthâs Gate Dojo. What a persistent group. It was also your people who visited my residence previously, right?â Ye Lingchen shook his head. His eyes suddenly glowed with unrivaled sharpness. âWho do you think you are to act with impunity in China?!â
