Li Taihao appeared calm, a faint smile on his face.
"Chen Jinzhao, you are facing death and you don't even know it? I don't know why you still have the audacity to spout such sarcastic remarks at me. Everything you possess will vanish with your death."
He paused, looking at Chen Jinzhao's young face and said with a smile, "This is terrifying, isn't it?"
Chen Jinzhao responded calmly, "There's nothing to fear. I've walked through the gates of hell a few times. I just want to understand a few things before I die, as I truly don't wish to be a muddle-headed ghost."
Li Taihao burst into laughter.
From his tone, it seemed Chen Jinzhao had accepted his fate?
That was for the best.
It would prevent any unexpected developments.
He stood with his hands behind his back, facing the humid sea breeze, and said, "Do you want to know about the existence of the Wu family?"
Chen Jinzhao remained silent.
"Since you are a dying man, I don't mind telling you these things. The Wu family does indeed exist somewhere in Lingnan. As for where, I cannot tell you. You only need to know that the Li family is merely a subordinate of the Wu family. Back then, our Li family's old master was a servant of the Wu family. With the Wu family's support, he rose amidst the chaos and became a regional lord. It can be said that the Wu family is the true master of the three regions of Lingnan. Their shadow looms over the entire Lingnan area!" Li Taihao was fanatically devoted to the Wu family, and his voice became agitated as he spoke.
"Is the Wu family really that powerful?" Chen Jinzhao chuckled, clearly disbelieving.
Li Taihao turned to look at Chen Jinzhao. "You achieved success at a young age, so naturally, you don't understand what the foundation of ancient families means. Let me put it this way: if the Wu family wanted to destroy the Li family, the Li family would have no room to resist."
"Don't think I don't know that you've always wanted to destroy our Li family and then install Li Xiaoning as your proxy, allowing you to smoothly control the Li family. But you never considered that as long as the Wu family willed it, the spokesperson of the Li family could even be a dog."
"This is the Wu family!"
After hearing these descriptions, Chen Jinzhao had a general understanding of the Wu family. It was likely that this family had existed for hundreds or thousands of years. Coupled with their constant search throughout history for talented women to breed generation after generation of elites for the Wu family, selecting the best from the best each generation, it was not hard to imagine how powerful the Wu family truly was.
Thinking of this, Chen Jinzhao couldn't help but worry about Tao Qiyue.
"So, Tao Qiyue, whom I've been searching for, was indeed captured by you? And taken to the Wu family?" Chen Jinzhao interrupted Li Taihao. Hearing this, Li Taihao sneered, "So what? Although you've achieved some success, you don't understand the importance of choices, and this has sown the seeds of your downfall. To fight our Li family for just a woman, you ultimately lead yourself to ruin."
"Chen Jinzhao, was it worth it?"
Chen Jinzhao sighed softly.
Worth or not, there had never been a rigid standard of measurement. He only sought to have a clear conscience.
Li Taihao also shook his head. "Forget it. I'm just rambling as someone with experience. You can just listen. The moon is beautiful tonight, but there's no fine wine. Otherwise, you and I could drink together and keep each other company on the road to the underworld."
Having said so much, Li Taihao believed Chen Jinzhao was ready to depart.
To avoid any complications.
Li Taihao glanced at his custom-made wristwatch and smiled faintly. "Nine-fifteen. Chen Jinzhao, are you ready to go?"
Chen Jinzhao shook his head and said, "I won't die. But you will."
"Tsk—"
Li Taihao let out a laugh.
He didn't know where Chen Jinzhao got the confidence to say such things. He said mockingly, "I know you've stepped into the Shackled Realm, making you immune to small firearms like bullets. So, we've already formulated a detailed decapitation plan specifically for you."
"To have the entire international port buried with you, is this gift from our Li family substantial enough?"
Chen Jinzhao roughly understood Li Taihao's intention. "You plan to detonate the entire international port and take me down with you? Do you know how many workers are currently on duty in this international port? What kind of damage will an explosion at the international port bring to Lingnan's economy?"
Chen Jinzhao's words were clearly laced with anger.
The Li family deserved to die!
Li Taihao laughed heartily. "Lingnan without the Li family, what kind of Lingnan would it be? It might as well turn into scorched earth!"
Looking at the rampant laughter of Li Taihao, Chen Jinzhao's killing intent surged.
However, he had to find a way to survive first, and then deal with these scoundrels from the Li family slowly.
Li Taihao took a remote control from his pocket.
Chen Jinzhao's reaction was swift. A short blade flew from his hand, severing Li Taihao's entire arm, and the remote control fell to the ground.
Li Taihao's face turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and smiled. "Don't misunderstand. It's useless even if you cut off my arm, because whether I press the button or not, the entire port will become a sea of fire in thirty seconds."
Chen Jinzhao frowned.
With his abilities, he could naturally escape with ease, but there were thousands of staff members in this port.
Once detonated, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Chen Jinzhao lunged forward and grabbed Li Taihao by the neck. "Is there any way to stop this explosion?"
"No!" Li Taihao laughed.
"You will turn into ashes like me. What use is the wealth and power you had in life? You can't take anything with you after death."
After saying this.
Li Taihao's veins bulged, and he roared with all his might, "Fire!!"
Chen Jinzhao realized there were ambushes around, and the people lying in wait might not be holding sniper rifles, but rocket launchers! This was in line with the Li family's meticulous planning, as sniper rifles were child's play to Chen Jinzhao.
Tick.
The second hand on Li Taihao's watch moved, emitting a crisp sound.
Three seconds passed.
Besides the increasingly violent sea breeze, there was no movement from within the international port. Li Taihao's expression changed slightly.
Chen Jinzhao released his grip. Li Taihao, pale-faced, muttered, "How can this be? What are those ambushers doing? Why aren't they firing yet?!"
Another gust of wind swept by.
Both Chen Jinzhao and Li Taihao smelled the scent of blood in the air. Li Taihao's face suddenly changed drastically!
He understood very well what this meant.
"Chen Jinzhao, you actually brought people with you. You are truly despicable and shameless, without any honor." Li Taihao roared in anger.
A smile appeared on Chen Jinzhao's face.
If everything went as expected, Luo Feng must have brought people. Chen Jinzhao trusted this younger brother of his implicitly.
In the darkness of the night.
Figures dressed in black darted between the gaps of the containers. Some held sniper rifles, others wielded steel knives, and every one of them had eyes that flickered with intense killing intent. Leading them was Luo Feng, whom Chen Jinzhao trusted the most.
The Candle Dragon Special Forces had been deployed, achieving another remarkable feat!
