Xiao Zheng didn't stop just because the one sitting in front of him was Shang Jingtian. He drew his blade and calmly walked towards Shang Jingtian. Every step he took was very stable, the blade in his hand was also very cold. It was shining with a cold light that was even more dazzling than the table lamp.
His eyes were filled with killing intent, the blade was still stained with warm blood. Facing such a homicidal maniac, Shang Jingtian's expression didn't change at all, he didn't even budge from his seat.
Just this calmness alone is enough to make countless arrogant youths blush with shame.
Those who are fighting for their lives, but those who stand at the top of the mountain are calm and collected. This itself is a bit comical, but it's also very natural.
No wonder Pillar of State He ridiculed them, each and every one of them were arrogant, yet died a violent death.
"I've been busy the whole night, let's have a cup of tea to warm up, let's sit down and talk" Shang Jingtian finally stood up. However, his movements were still slow and unhurried as he walked around the desk. He didn't care about Xiao Zheng's cold gaze or his cruel blade. He just took out some good tea leaves from the cabinet and poured a pot of boiling water. And brewed two cups of fragrant tea.
"I've said" Xiao Zheng stopped and stared at Shang Jingtian calmly. "I'm here to kill you"
"I know" Shang Jingtian carried the two cups of fragrant tea back to the table, placed one on the opposite side of the table, then took the other and sat down, took two sips and said: "Drinking tea and killing people, there's no conflict right?"
A strange look flashed in Xiao Zheng's eyes, he slammed the bloodstained blade on the table, then picked up the teacup and took a big gulp.
The tea was very hot, but Xiao Zheng's heart was even colder. Even a ladle of boiling magma wouldn't be able to warm his heart.
"I won't argue, I was the one who sent them. My goal is to kill you "Shang Jingtian put down the teacup and smiled at Xiao Zheng sitting opposite him.
Xiao Zheng was silent. His entire body was surrounded by the aura of death. It was as if he was waiting for Shang Jingtian to say his last words. It was as if the moment he finished the hot tea in the cup, he would raise his scythe and reap Shang Jingtian's life.
"Yan Shang is my biological sister's son. Shang Jingtian lit a cigarette and said in a calm and composed manner. "But you broke one of his legs. Now, he had chopped off one of his arms. Do you think I can do nothing at all? "
"I was at the Long Formation. Yan Hong and Yan Jiazhou were there," Xiao Zheng said indifferently. "If you want revenge, you can do it openly."
"Is it useful?" Shang Jingtian asked. "With General Qi holding the fort, how am I supposed to snatch you away from him?"
Xiao Zheng said, "With your connections and strength, even General Qi might not be able to defeat you."
"I'm a businessman," said Shang Jingtian. "If it's not necessary, I don't want to make enemies with a military leader like General Qi. That's not my style. "
"But you sent someone to kill me!" Xiao Zheng said coldly. "That's how you do things?"
"Yan Shang was crippled by you. What do you think I should do? Shang Jingtian shook his head and said faintly, "You want me to do nothing and let you do whatever you want in Beijing?" "From the moment you chopped off one of his arms, you should have been prepared. I would have done it. And I would have sent someone powerful to kill you. This is the most effective method, and also the method that won't offend anyone. "
Yes.
That was the most effective way. Xiao Zheng had chopped off one of Yan Shang's arms. How was he going to make it up to him? With one of his arms? Or with his life? Wasn't Yan Hong and Yan Jiazhou's combined effort to achieve this effect?
But they failed. They were stopped by General Qi.
Since that was not going to work, even if Shang Jingtian was powerful enough to force General Qi to release Yan Shang. What he was going to do was exactly what he was doing now.
Xiao Zheng had crippled a man, a man with a powerful background. Many people couldn't ignore him, nor could they stand by and watch. Some people chose to use their power to pressure him. But Yan Shang, who was the most capable, chose the most direct method, assassination.
By doing so, he didn't offend General Qi, nor did he offend Ye Yuhua, who was behind Xiao Zheng. Even Lin Chaotian.
Everyone in Yan Jin knew that Lin Chaotian didn't like Xiao Zheng at all. In fact, he hated him. But just like how Shang Jingtian didn't really want to avenge Yan Shang, he still sent someone powerful to assassinate Xiao Zheng. But what about Lin Chaotian?
If Shang Jingtian wanted to avenge him, would Lin Chaotian just sit back and watch? No matter how much he disliked him, he was still Xiao Zheng's father-in-law in many people's eyes. If he did it, he wouldn't be sincere. If he didn't do it, he would be criticized by more people.
That was the current situation. It was also a problem that Xiao Zheng didn't fully understand.
There were some things that these VIPs didn't want to do, but they had to do it. This was something that Xiao Zheng, who wasn't a VIPs, couldn't fully understand.
Xiao Zheng listened to Shang Jingtian's explanation, and his eyes curled up slightly while a trace of bloodthirsty coldness seeped out from the corners of his mouth. "You too. When you send out He Zhuguo, you should be mentally prepared. He might fail, or he might betray you. "
"It's never a bad thing to think of the worst-case scenario." Shang Jingtian smiled. "I'm prepared. But from my point of view, I'd advise you not to do anything to me. "
Xiao Zheng asked in return, "You're afraid of death?"
"That's a contradiction." Shang Jingtian shook his head. "The most courageous person is afraid of death. And the most cowardly person has a moment where they're not afraid of death. "
"So you're still afraid of death?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Of course I'm afraid of death." Shang Jingtian smiled. "You're not afraid?"
Xiao Zheng shut his mouth.
If it was a year ago, he might have given Shang Jingtian a surprising answer. But now, he was indeed afraid of death. At the very least, he didn't want to die.
If he could live, who would want to die?
"I know your past, and I understand your current situation. I believe that as long as there's a sufficient reason, you can ignore life and death. " You can disregard life and death. "Shang Jingtian smiled. "It's easy to kill me. Take your blade and slash at my body. You might only need a few seconds to kill me. "
"But what happens after that?" Shang Jingtian said slowly. "How confident are you that you can leave this place? How confident are you that you can walk out of Shang clan alive? "
"For now, all of this is unknown." Shang Jingtian stared at Xiao Zheng's eyes and said calmly. "Do you think it's worth it to die for an enemy that's not an enemy?"
"You want to kill me? Not an enemy? "Xiao Zheng asked.
"I'll kill you because of Yan Shang, not an enemy." Shang Jingtian shook his head. "I want to kill you. Forget it. "
"If I fail to kill you one day, I'd advise you to kill me immediately." Shang Jingtian smiled. "Because if you don't do it now, you'll regret it in the future."
Xiao Zheng's eyes narrowed as he pursed his lips: "You're confident that after you die, I'll die here?"
"No." Shang Jingtian shook his head. "But I'm confident. After I die, you won't be able to live. At least now, you won't be able to deal with the aftermath. Even if you're lucky enough to survive, countless people will die with you. "
"Moreover, as I said earlier, we are not enemies." We aren't enemies, "said Shang Jingtian with a smile. "In the future, there is no information that we will become enemies."
