Speaking, Li Yue looked at Shangguan Zhongtang and smiled, "You must be unhappy, right? The opponent who disappeared before your election is suddenly back."
"No... it's not me," Shangguan Zhongtang said with a bitter smile, his face already completely stiffened. Smiling now was like his skin being forcibly stretched.
"I am naturally happy that our Dragon Country's highly educated talents are still alive."
For the time being, Shangguan Zhongtang didn't know the full situation regarding Li Yue's words.
However, Xie Feng being alive truly shocked Shangguan Zhongtang to his core.
He hadn't expected that after more than twenty years, Xie Feng would still be alive and appear in Dragon Country.
This was actually more unbearable than killing Shangguan Zhongtang.
"Esteemed President," Shangguan Zhongtang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Li Yue, asking again, "Since Xie Feng has been sent back, why have you come to Sang Country?"
This was something Shangguan Zhongtang suddenly thought of in a flash.
Li Yue smiled faintly, "You finally realized this question?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Shangguan Zhongtang felt that something was wrong.
"Wh... what?" Looking at Li Yue, especially sitting next to Li Yue, Shangguan Zhongtang felt as if he couldn't speak.
Li Yue just smiled and looked at Shangguan Zhongtang, then said, "Because there is another mission."
"What mission?"
"To arrest you."
"..."
Shangguan Zhongtang was speechless.
His hair was white, his eyes bloodshot, and he slowly turned his head to look at Su Yang.
"You... your family is still in my hands... how dare you lie to me?"
Hearing Shangguan Zhongtang's words, Su Yang said, "So what if I lied to you?"
"Your family is still in my hands!"
As soon as Su Yang spoke, Shangguan Zhongtang couldn't help but roar in anger and stand up.
His whole body was trembling.
This was not the trembling of fear towards Li Yue.
It was the trembling of fear of death.
Su Yang's actions had already sent the documents to the capital, and Xie Feng was found alive...
At this moment, Shangguan Zhongtang, with a hundred heads, wouldn't be enough to be beheaded.
In less than a month, Shangguan Zhongtang went from having everything to having nothing.
This was truly something Shangguan Zhongtang could not accept.
But...
Sometimes fate is like this. The more you wish for smoothness, the more you encounter setbacks.
Shangguan Zhongtang's words were like farting in front of Su Yang.
"Don't you care about your family? How dare you lie to me!" Shangguan Zhongtang continued to roar at Su Yang.
Su Yang looked at Shangguan Zhongtang and said, "My family is indeed in your hands, but do you have a way to contact your people to harm mine now?"
"How can I not?!" Shangguan Zhongtang roared and then coughed violently.
Bright red blood sprayed onto the sofa, and Su Yang distastefully moved back a little.
Shangguan Zhongtang, trembling, took out his phone and dialed Shangguan Qianji.
He thought, if he couldn't live, he would make Su Yang's family accompany him to hell!
Just as Shangguan Zhongtang was about to dial, Li Yue snatched the phone away.
Shangguan Zhongtang looked up at Li Yue, his face filled with despair.
"Give... give me back my phone..."
Shangguan Zhongtang, with bloodied hands, reached out to Li Yue for his phone.
Li Yue looked at Shangguan Zhongtang in this state and said, "Shangguan Zhongtang, if you had known this day would come, why did you do it in the first place?"
"Heh..."
Shangguan Zhongtang slumped back, collapsing onto the sofa.
He looked at Li Yue and said, "What do you understand?
You are Li Feng's daughter, the daughter of one of the Three Thrones. You have power and influence, and you've been surrounded by the best forces since childhood. When you came out, you immediately became the president of the Dragon Association.
Do you understand how we common people struggle?"
Hearing this, Li Yue's last shred of pity for Shangguan Zhongtang completely vanished.
"I haven't told anyone. Perhaps, what I was exposed to since childhood was because of my father, but later, I fought for myself, achieved results in school, and completed missions to reach the position of President of the Dragon Association.
If you think I only relied on my father's power, then why do you fear me?"
Li Yue looked at Shangguan Zhongtang and questioned him.
Shangguan Zhongtang smiled with bloodied lips, then looked at Li Yue and said, "Why? Isn't it because of your Throne-level father?"
Hearing Shangguan Zhongtang's words, Li Yue felt as if she was about to explode.
But Li Yue knew that if he thought this way, his mind was set. No matter how Li Yue explained, Shangguan Zhongtang would not change his current thoughts.
Before, Li Yue knew that many people believed she became the President of the Dragon Association solely because of her father, but she had always been trying her best.
She wanted to prove that she truly had the ability and did not gain her position through her father.
But... the effect was minimal. Those who thought this way would always think that way, no matter what.
There would be no other change.
Shangguan Zhongtang at this moment was a vivid example of this.
Li Yue looked deeply at Shangguan Zhongtang and said, "For the last time, I relied on my own strength. But no matter how much I say, you won't believe it. Come with me."
Shangguan Zhongtang smiled, chillingly.
"Go with you? Where to?"
"Back to Dragon Country to accept an investigation."
"Accept what investigation?" Shangguan Zhongtang was feigning ignorance.
"Stop stalling. The sooner you cooperate with the investigation, the sooner you will be free."
"Free?" Shangguan Zhongtang sneered, "What do you mean by freedom? How do you think I should be freed? By dying?"
Li Yue looked at Shangguan Zhongtang in disbelief and asked, "You are implicated in so many lives, aren't you afraid when you sleep at night?"
"Esteemed President, who doesn't have a few lives on their hands? Have you never killed anyone?" Shangguan Zhongtang asked Li Yue.
"Also, Dragon Country has regulations that allow for mutual combat. As long as casualties are reported, what are the lives on my hands?"
Shangguan Zhongtang was now being deliberately difficult, and Li Yue realized it. She stood looking at Shangguan Zhongtang and said, "I only kill those who deserve to die. You kill the innocent."
"Who deserves to die, and who is innocent?" Shangguan Zhongtang looked at Li Yue, completely relaxed, speaking words that perhaps he himself didn't realize the meaning of.
"These things naturally have their own definitions."
Hearing Li Yue's words, Shangguan Zhongtang shook his head, "You don't understand. What do you understand..."
