Chen Xiao's words stunned everyone present.
They all looked at Chen Xiao with incredulous eyes.
Who was this kid, daring to speak to Young Master Xiao like that? Did he not want to live anymore?
Qi Qingfei looked at Chen Xiao with a complicated gaze. The thing she feared most had happened.
Qi Tianhu wore a wry smile, feeling somewhat bewildered himself.
He knew Chen Xiao was always bold, but he never expected him to dare provoke Xiao Li.
Xiao Li frowned, glanced at Chen Xiao, and asked dismissively, "Who are you? And who is your father?"
Chen Xiao arrogantly replied, "I am Chen Xiao. What business is it of yours who my father is?"
Xiao Li let out a disdainful laugh, "If you don't even dare to speak your father's name, it seems your background is not from any prominent clan."
Chen Xiao sneered, "So what?"
The smile on Xiao Li's face widened.
"If you were from a prominent clan, your words just now would have made you a dead man. But since you are merely an unknown nobody, I naturally won't bother with you. Now, get out of here, and I'll spare your life!"
Everyone gave Xiao Li a thumbs-up.
Truly a descendant of the God of War, his magnanimity was beyond that of ordinary people.
However, upon hearing this, Jiang Zhenlin frowned. He leaned forward and whispered a few words into Xiao Li's ear.
Xiao Li's expression changed drastically, from his usual sickly pale to a flushed red.
He glared at Song Anran with indignation and roared, "You slut, you won't come home with me because of him?"
Song Anran was slightly taken aback, immediately understanding what Jiang Zhenlin had just told Xiao Li.
She hastily explained, "No! I don't want to go with you myself, it has nothing to do with anyone else!"
She knew how terrifying Jiang Zhenlin was and was afraid Chen Xiao would be implicated because of her.
Jiang Zhenlin sneered, "Song Anran, you still won't admit it? Who was it kissing him in the hall just now!"
As soon as Jiang Zhenlin finished speaking, Xiao Li slapped him across the face.
"You're looking for death!"
Xiao Li said fiercely to Jiang Zhenlin.
Consumed by jealousy, shame, and anger.
His wife kissing someone else was absolutely intolerable.
And Jiang Zhenlin dared to speak of it publicly; wasn't he courting death?
After being slapped, Jiang Zhenlin immediately realized his mistake.
He quickly apologized, "Young Master Xiao, I misspoke. I deserve this beating!"
Fortunately, Xiao Li did not pursue the matter further but fixed his gaze on Chen Xiao.
Despite being filled with rage, he maintained his composure. "Is what he said true?"
Chen Xiao grinned, "Of course it's true."
"You son of a bitch, you're looking for death!"
Xiao Li gritted his teeth.
Song Anran repeatedly said, "No, it's not true. Jiang Zhenlin is talking nonsense, Xiao Li, don't listen to him."
Xiao Li's eye twitched.
"I won't listen to him, should I listen to you?"
"You're still defending that brat, do you think I'm a fool?"
Song Anran knelt down with a thud. "Xiao Li, it was all a misunderstanding. Please let him go, this has nothing to do with him!"
However, the more Song Anran acted like this, the more furious Xiao Li became.
His wife was actually kneeling to him for another man?
If this can be tolerated, what cannot be tolerated!
Xiao Li's eyes glinted with killing intent, and his usually gentle and handsome face contorted with anger.
"Old Ghost Xu, kill this brat for me!"
"Yes!"
Old Ghost Xu responded and slowly walked towards Chen Xiao.
"Brat, you chose the path to hell when heaven's road was open. By rights, you have a debt to me, but unfortunately, you dared to insult my young master, so you can only die."
Qi Qingfei was so anxious she was about to cry. She tugged at Qi Tianhu's arm.
"Dad, please save Chen Xiao!"
Qi Tianhu shook his head with a wry smile. "Even if I wanted to save him, Old Xu might not listen to me. After all, Chen Xiao has offended the son of the God of War."
Qi Qingfei was not discouraged and pleaded, "But, Dad, if Chen Xiao dies, no one will be able to treat your illness!"
Qi Tianhu's eyes flickered. Hadn't he considered this?
After a moment of thought, he finally made up his mind and said loudly, "Young Master Xiao, please give Qi this face and spare Chen Xiao's life. I guarantee he will have no further dealings with Miss Song!"
Xiao Li's eyes widened, and he asked Old Xu, "Old Xu, who is this?"
Old Ghost Xu replied, "To the young master, this is Qi Tianhu, the underground boss of Jiang City."
Xiao Li sneered, "What face does a mere underground boss of Jiang City have with me? Qi, mind your own business, or I'll have Old Xu kill you too!"
Qi Tianhu was momentarily speechless. Although Xiao Li was extremely arrogant, he had no retort.
At this moment, Chen Xiao spoke, "Qi Tianhu, on what grounds do you guarantee I will have no further dealings with Song Anran?"
Qi Tianhu was even more dumbfounded. Well, now he was like Zhu Bajie looking in a mirror, out of place inside and out.
He flicked his sleeve and snorted angrily, "Hmph, Chen Xiao, you said that. Whether you live or die tonight has nothing to do with me, Qi."
Qi Qingfei couldn't understand why Chen Xiao said that at first.
But after a moment, she understood and whispered, "Dad, don't misunderstand Chen Xiao. He just doesn't want to implicate you."
Didn't Qi Tianhu understand this too?
However, he was the underground boss of Jiang City.
He was responsible not only for his own life and fortune but also for the brothers under him.
Everything had to be weighed for its pros and cons.
And standing by Chen Xiao's side clearly brought more cons than pros.
"Brat, for the sake of you treating my leg, choose your method of death!"
Old Ghost Xu said indifferently, as if he held the power of life and death over Chen Xiao.
However, at this moment, a clear shout echoed, "If you want to kill him, did you ask me?"
Accompanied by this sweet yet domineering and sharp voice, Li Ziqing slowly walked onto the rooftop.
Chen Xiao's eyes lit up. Li Ziqing had finally arrived, it seemed she hadn't stood him up.
When everyone saw that it was Li Ziqing, they were all astonished.
Their gazes towards Chen Xiao became even stranger.
They were all puzzled, what was this kid's background? Why was he so popular with women?
Jiang Zhenlin roared, "Li Ziqing, what right do you, a mere internet celebrity, have to bark here? Do you know what kind of place this is? Do you know who you are facing!"
Li Ziqing smiled, a charming smile.
"Of course, I know who he is. Isn't he Xiao Zhan's son!"
"But do you know who I am?"
"You only know me as a minor internet celebrity, but have you ever heard of the name Bamboo Viper!"
Not only Jiang Zhenlin, but more than half of the people present were stunned.
They had all heard of the great name of Bamboo Viper.
She was the poisonous woman who had played the five great families of the capital city in the palm of her hand.
But few knew that the famous internet celebrity Li Ziqing, known for her pure beauty, was Bamboo Viper herself.
Of course, Song Anran knew this.
But she hadn't expected Li Ziqing to expose her identity for Chen Xiao.
After all, few people in Jiang City knew that Li Ziqing was Bamboo Viper.
She could have completely abandoned her past unpleasant experiences and identity.
But Li Ziqing gave it up for Chen Xiao.
"Bamboo Viper, Li Ziqing, so you are that infamous poisonous woman!"
Jiang Zhenlin said fiercely.
Bamboo Viper snorted, "Since you know I am Bamboo Viper, you should know that you are not qualified to bark in front of me! Do you think your mere Jiang family can be compared to the five great families?"
"You!"
Jiang Zhenlin gritted his teeth fiercely but could not refute.
After all, his Jiang family was not even fit to carry the shoes of any of the five great families.
Xiao Li looked at Li Ziqing with a half-smile.
"Bamboo Viper, you are willing to expose your identity for that brat, I have nothing to say. But why should I not kill that kid?"
"Your name, Bamboo Viper, is not enough!"
Li Ziqing sneered, "Then, based on your father's name, is that enough?"
As she spoke, Li Ziqing suddenly took out a token.
Xiao Li's eyes widened abruptly, "Tian Ce Tiger Tally?!"
The token was golden, with the words "Tian Ce" on the front and a lifelike tiger head on the back.
Others might not know, but Xiao Li was very clear.
This Tian Ce Tiger Tally was a token from his father, Xiao Zhan.
To see the Tian Ce Tiger Tally was to see Tian Ce himself!
"Bamboo Viper, how do you have my father's Tian Ce Tiger Tally?" Xiao Li asked sternly. "Did you steal it?"
Li Ziqing sneered, "Stolen? Do you underestimate your father too much? Who in this world can steal anything from Xiao Tian Ce?"
"Let me tell you the truth, this Tian Ce Tiger Tally was given to me by your father himself!"
"To see the Tian Ce Tiger Tally is to see Tian Ce himself!"
"Xiao Li, heed my command. I order you not to harm Chen Xiao today, not even a single strand of his hair!"
