Ning Fei's face changed drastically!
The two sentences Chen Jinzhao spoke were somewhat of an insult to his pride.
He said indignantly, "Don't act so tough in front of me. You can't even keep your composure in front of Qin Fengwu. I've already thrown my lot in with him. If you kill me, you'll be slapping Qin Fengwu in the face. Do you think he'll let you off easily?"
"What Qin Fengwu thinks and does has nothing to do with me," Chen Jinzhao retorted with a smile.
Ning Fei's expression grew even uglier.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Is that so? Aren't you afraid of the Qin family making a move against you? You should know the Qin family's influence, and Qin Fengwu will eventually become the Nine-Five Sovereign. What can you compare with him?"
Chen Jinzhao couldn't help but chuckle. "I've never been one to bully people with power, because I find such methods rather base. But for someone like you, it seems quite effective."
"Let me tell you this, as long as I'm in this position, I won't let Qin Fengwu ascend the throne."
"Who are you?" Ning Fei's face shifted.
"Me?"
Chen Jinzhao's smile widened. "I am Chen Jinzhao, the chief instructor of the Chinese Dragon Special Forces, a general with one star and one epaulet."
"You say—"
"Is my identity enough?"
Ning Fei's entire face contorted, as he heard something incredible.
This security guard he looked down on was actually a general in China!
God!
What kind of joke is this?
Ning Fei couldn't believe it and laughed heartily to alleviate his fear. "Chen Jinzhao, you're talking nonsense. How could you be a general? What kind of international joke is this! You're only twenty-six years old. There aren't even any generals in the Republic who are thirty, let alone at your age."
"Do you know what the crime is for faking a Chinese general's identity?"
"I'm telling you..."
Ning Fei's words abruptly stopped.
Because he saw Chen Jinzhao take out a small booklet, which was Chen Jinzhao's identification.
With Ning Fei's knowledge and insight, he could tell at a glance that this document was genuine! This meant that Chen Jinzhao standing before him was indeed a Chinese general!
No!
To be precise, he should be the youngest general in China. With the title of "youngest," Chen Jinzhao's future held limitless potential.
Becoming the head of the military was merely a matter of time.
Thinking of this, Ning Fei finally understood the source of Chen Jinzhao's confidence!
"Why... why didn't you say you were a Chinese general earlier?! If you had said so earlier, how could I have provoked you? I would have been eager to curry favor with you!" Ning Fei's mentality collapsed and re-collapsed, but he was speaking his true thoughts.
Chen Jinzhao put away his ID and said expressionlessly, "It's useless for you to curry favor with me. We are not people of the same path, and you will ultimately face legal repercussions."
Ning Fei was completely despairing.
He kept muttering to himself, so softly that even Chen Jinzhao couldn't hear what he was saying.
Finally.
Ning Fei burst into laughter, as if he had gone mad.
Chen Jinzhao watched him, waiting for Ning Fei to calm down. After laughing, Ning Fei cried and begged Chen Jinzhao for a way out, saying he was willing to tell Chen Jinzhao all the secrets he knew.
"Are you trying to make a deal with me?" Chen Jinzhao asked.
Ning Fei nodded, gritting his teeth. "Of course, you can interpret it that way."
Chen Jinzhao shook his head. "I told you before, you don't have the qualifications to trade with me."
"Don't you want to know the secrets I possess?" Ning Fei was still trying to negotiate.
"Believe it or not, I can get everything I want from you," Chen Jinzhao changed his tone, making Ning Fei sense a strong sense of crisis. He instinctively shouted, "Chen... Chen Jinzhao, what exactly do you want? I'm telling you, if you kill me, you'll never know the secrets I'm talking about!"
Chen Jinzhao smiled and shook his head.
Ning Fei was already facing disaster, yet he was still so confident.
Was it confidence, or madness?
"I've already given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. So, you'll have to taste my methods." Chen Jinzhao walked up to Ning Fei, who kept crawling backward until he was cornered by Chen Jinzhao.
"Chen Jinzhao, you need to calm down!"
"We can sit down and discuss this properly. Don't act rashly and hurt someone," Ning Fei was terrified.
Outside the office.
Tao Qiyue watched Qian Deshui and Guan Hong brutally kill Hong Xingwen. The entire process was extremely cruel and bloody, making her feel nauseous. But she also knew that this was the end Hong Xingwen deserved.
"Ning Fei's fate should be similar, shouldn't it?" she murmured.
At this moment.
A pig-like scream suddenly erupted from the office, making Tao Qiyue's scalp tingle and her skin crawl.
She could tell it was Ning Fei's voice.
And the scream was continuous. Tao Qiyue couldn't imagine what kind of torment a person would endure to let out such a desperate cry! It was no wonder Chen Jinzhao didn't let her see this scene.
It would have left a psychological shadow.
The screams lasted for a full half hour, and by the end, Ning Fei's voice had weakened, clearly out of strength.
Qian Deshui and Guan Hong exchanged glances and couldn't help but sigh, "Compared to Young Master Chen, we're still far behind. Hong Xingwen, that bastard died too quickly, otherwise I would have made Young Master Chen strike again."
Inside the office.
Ning Fei had been tortured beyond recognition. As Chen Jinzhao took a step, Ning Fei screamed in fear, "Please, stop hitting me! I'll die if this continues. I'll tell you whatever you want to know now."
Chen Jinzhao stopped his actions.
Ning Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. In his eyes, Chen Jinzhao was not human, but a walking beast. During the abuse by Chen Jinzhao, he experienced a despair of not being able to live or die, something Ning Fei had never experienced before.
"Speak."
"After you're done, I'll give you a quick end," Chen Jinzhao snapped his fingers.
Ning Fei's pale lips moved. "I have indeed committed many illegal and criminal acts. If you want evidence, you can find it in the safe at my other residence. That safe is buried in the foundation. You just need to dig it up. The evidence in the safe includes, but is not limited to, the illegal construction at Linxi Villa, incidents causing loss of life..."
With this evidence, Jiangnan Real Estate Group would be investigated by the relevant departments.
The Ning family would also be wiped out and cease to exist.
Chen Jinzhao remembered what Ning Fei said and continued, "What kind of cooperation do you have with Qin Fengwu?"
Ning Fei told him truthfully.
His cooperation with Qin Fengwu had just begun, and it wasn't even considered a partnership yet. Chen Jinzhao believed Ning Fei wouldn't dare to lie.
"Anything else?" he asked.
Ning Fei had initially intended to conceal the matter involving Fang Mingchao, but then he thought that since he was about to die, why should he keep secrets for Fang Mingchao? He swallowed and told Chen Jinzhao everything about Fang Mingchao and his hidden villa.
Chen Jinzhao frowned. He had never heard the name Fang Mingchao before.
The situation was becoming increasingly complicated.
"I have one more thing to tell you."
"That night, when I left the villa, I saw the second young master of the Su family, Su Hao, entering the villa."
