The stone lions were already eye-catching to begin with. Now that someone had smashed them into pieces, the sound was like a loud bell and it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
"What happened? How dare he smash the lord's stone lions? This... "
"This fellow... Is there something wrong with his head?"
"Lord Ling treasures them and caresses them a few times a day. Yet, he dared to smash them? Who is he? He must be tired of living! "
...
The crowd who was strolling around the shopping mall was stunned.
Before they could finish their discussions, a patrol squad walked over. Looking at the scene before them, they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
These two lions were Lord Ling Tianyu's favorites. Every single one of them was worth several million and there was no market for them. Yet, this fellow dashed over and smashed them with a single punch...
The heck, is he courting death?
"Don't let him escape. Capture him and Lord Ling will reward him!"
After a moment of shock, the leader of the patrol squad shouted.
Aowuu!
The moment those words were heard, the crowd immediately charged forward like a pack of howling wolves and surrounded Sun Qiang. They rolled up their sleeves and rubbed their fists together.
"So fast?" Not expecting the patrol squad to arrive so quickly, to be blocked before he could even return to the old master's side, Sun Qiang was taken aback. His expression changed, "Can... Can I explain? Actually... "
"Explain your head, beat him up!"
"Let's beat him up first!"
Roars resounded as countless fists rained down on him.
To dare to smash the stone lions in front of them, did you eat the heart of a bear or the guts of a leopard?
"I..."
Looking at the sky filled with fists, Sun Qiang almost spurted a mouthful of blood.
Old master, didn't you say that it would be fine? You are a liar...
Actually, the patrol squad couldn't be blamed for their actions. After all, they had the responsibility to protect the assets of the shopping mall. The stone lions were Lord Ling's favorites and for them to be smashed in front of him, if he were to blame them, they would probably be fired. It would be weird if they didn't fly into a rage!
"Ah?"
Zhang Xuan, who was drinking his tea while waiting for Sun Qiang to finish his work, saw that no one was coming. Turning around, his eyes widened in shock.
Isn't this way too fast!
Shouldn't they smash the stone lions and let these people report to Lord Ling before resolving the problem?
Why … did he make a move the moment he arrived?
"From the looks of it, I'll probably be beaten up if I go over …"
The corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched as he sat on the spot motionlessly.
What a joke! Although his strength wasn't weak, he still couldn't withstand the siege of so many people! It was better to pretend that he didn't know her …
"Master …"
Sun Qiang, who was being beaten up in the crowd, saw his master glance at him and quickly turned around. He was on the verge of tears.
Master, didn't you swear to me that everything was fine?
"Stop!"
Just when the law enforcement patrol team was happily fighting, a loud shout rang out. Following which, a dignified middle-aged man strode over.
The moment he arrived at the door, he saw the shattered stone lion on the ground. The corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, and it was clear that he felt a great heartache.
The owner of the Tianyu Trading Firm, Ling Tianyu!
Someone had already informed him that the lion had been destroyed. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to come out so quickly.
"What's going on?"
Ling Tianyu stared at him coldly.
"Reporting to Lord Ling, when we were patrolling earlier, we saw this arrogant man shattering Lord Ling's lion with a single punch. After which, he attempted to escape, but we managed to catch him..." the leader of the enforcement squad stepped forward and reported.
"Him?"
Ling Tianyu's eyes were filled with killing intent as he walked up to Sun Qiang.
At this moment, Sun Qiang had suffered innumerable punches and his clothes were torn. It was fortunate that he managed to protect his face in time, thus preventing it from being disfigured.
"Sun Qiang?"
Ling Tianyu recognized him and his tone was icy cold. "If you can't give me a good reason, do you believe that I won't throw you into the river to feed the fishes?"
"I …" Trembling uncontrollably, Sun Qiang hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth, "My master told me to smash it!"
"Your master? When did you have a master? "
Ling Tianyu was taken aback.
As the boss of a trading firm, he wouldn't bother himself with the affairs of insignificant figures. When Sun Qiang left last night, even though he did it in a high-profile manner, to a person of his standing, he couldn't be bothered with him.
"I recognized my master yesterday, he's over there!" Sun Qiang pointed.
"Un?"
Ling Tianyu frowned. Turning his gaze over, he saw Zhang Xuan's back facing him. Lifting his cup of tea, he sipped on it slowly, as though he didn't care about the matter here at all.
"Old master!"
Upon hearing the word 'old master', Sun Qiang heaved a sigh of relief and walked up to Zhang Xuan.
"You were the one who told him to smash my stone lion?"
Walking up to him, Ling Tianyu frowned and his eyes were cold.
Zhang Xuan didn't even turn his head around, as though he didn't hear anything. He continued sipping on his tea, completely disregarding Lord Ling.
"How dare you!"
"To not reply to Lord Ling's question, you are courting death!"
"To have a servant smash lord's stone lion, this fellow is doomed …"
…
Upon seeing the esteemed Lord Ling's question, not only did this fellow not reply, he didn't even stand up. Enraged, they couldn't help but curse him.
Where did this fellow come from? What is he putting on an act for?
Do you believe that I won't kill you if you continue to act so arrogantly here?
"May I know how I should address mister? Why did you get someone to smash my stone lion?"
Ling Tianyu was an experienced man after all. With a wave of his hand, he interrupted the berating of the crowd.
"Sit!"
Zhang Xuan didn't even lift his eyelids as he continued sipping on his tea.
Upon seeing this, Sun Qiang hurriedly ran over to fill up the teacup on the other side.
Upon seeing his actions, Ling Tianyu's rage surged. His face was terrifyingly dark.
The other party's actions were clear. While he could drink tea with him, he wasn't worthy of him pouring him a cup of tea!
From nothing to the massive Tianyu Merchant Firm, he had dominated the entire Tianxuan Kingdom. Even the prime minister and kings would only treat him as an equal, not daring to act so arrogantly. Wasn't this fellow a little too arrogant?
However, the more he thought so, the more he suppressed his rage.
Since the other party dared to act this way despite knowing his identity, he must have something up his sleeves. After being a merchant for so many years, if he couldn't even swallow this bit of rage, there wouldn't be the Tianyu Trading Firm today.
"I hope to hear a reasonable explanation from you!"
Narrowing his eyes, Ling Tianyu sat opposite him.
Facing his questioning, Zhang Xuan ignored him. Sipping on his tea calmly, it was as though he couldn't see the other party's rage at all.
The tea was scalding and he took an entire minute to drink. Just as the other party was getting impatient and Sun Qiang was about to pee in his pants, Zhang Xuan slowly put down his teacup and lifted his head to look at Ling Tianyu.
He looked to be around forty-seven to forty-eight years old. His black eyebrows were arched upwards and he exuded a valiant aura. Just from his appearance, one could tell that he was a formidable figure.
Without saying a word, Zhang Xuan gestured for Sun Qiang to introduce him.
"Reporting to old master, this is the boss of the trading firm, Lord Ling Tianyu!" How could Sun Qiang not know of him? He hurriedly introduced him.
"Oh!" Zhang Xuan replied. Then, he casually picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, "Ling Tianyu …"
"Is your family doing well?"
