"Heh, it wasn't my credit, it was that young master Jiang Huan's."
Chu Lingtian sat in the chair opposite Liu Bingxue and replied with a faint smile.
Liu Bingxue frowned and said, "The one who saved us was you, but it was Goddess Su's mother who, in order to curry favor with Jiang Huan, forcibly attributed all your credit to Jiang Huan. We all know this clearly, but you really shouldn't have contradicted Jiang Huan in public like that and offended him."
"That's just my temper."
Chu Lingtian smiled playfully.
"You scoundrel, I'm doing this for your own good! You need to know your place and recognize your own strength. It was one thing for you to beat up Zhang Tao in the company before, but who is Jiang Huan? Zhang Tao isn't even fit to carry this young master Jiang's shoes. And your strength is even less than Zhang Tao's. This is an undeniable fact, a fact that everyone can see. Offending Jiang Huan is tantamount to seeking death!"
Liu Bingxue was furious at Chu Lingtian's nonchalant attitude. She wondered what was going on with this man. Why did he insist on provoking someone like Jiang Huan, whose strength was ten, even a hundred times greater than his, and then act dismissive even after being warned? Did he truly have a death wish?
"I am someone who only recognizes reason, not people!"
Chu Lingtian's gaze was firm, and his tone was decisive.
"You, you personally saw the more than a dozen armed elite bodyguards that Jiang Huan had with him. In this strictly regulated society, the fact that he can act so brazenly shows how powerful and terrifying his influence is. If an ordinary person were to run around with a group of armed men like that, they would have been arrested and imprisoned long ago. But Jiang Huan has been safe and sound for so many years, which truly proves he is one of the elite, different from us ordinary people. You say that if Goddess Su and I hadn't been there at the time, and you had continued to contradict Jiang Huan like that, you might have been shot and killed by his men on his command. You would be a cold corpse right now!"
Seeing that Chu Lingtian didn't seem to realize the severity of the consequences of offending Jiang Huan, Liu Bingxue quickly analyzed the situation.
"Fortunately, Jiang Huan didn't order his bodyguards to attack me at the time..."
Before Chu Lingtian could finish speaking, Liu Bingxue, thinking he had realized his mistake, interrupted him.
"It's good that you know. People truly need to know their place. Otherwise, surviving in this complicated society might lead you to inadvertently offend a powerful figure, and you won't even know how you died. In the future, you..."
Liu Bingxue's words were also interrupted by Chu Lingtian before she could finish.
"If Jiang Huan had been narrow-minded and unreasonable at the time, and dared to order his bodyguards to attack me, I wouldn't have been polite. Both he and his bodyguards would have ended up groaning and wailing on the ground."
Chu Lingtian said with a smile.
"You... who do you think you are! Jiang Huan is the young master of the Jiang family from the capital, a man so powerful that a mere stomp of his foot could shake our little Dachang City. Even a celebrity like Goddess Su, who has immense influence nationwide, wouldn't dare to offend him. Can you stop being reckless? I'm begging you! Just go to work honestly and earn money!"
Liu Bingxue was so angry that her face turned ashen, and her ample chest heaved.
Chu Lingtian knew that Liu Bingxue was actually looking out for him. From her perspective, her words were indeed correct, because this beautiful president didn't know that he, Chu Lingtian, was also an extraordinary figure.
And one day, Liu Bingxue would surely learn of Chu Lingtian's true identity. By then...
"By the way, did you get any useful information from the other three kidnappers?"
Chu Lingtian changed the subject and asked.
Liu Bingxue frowned and replied, "No, the remaining three kidnappers are also dead."
"Dead? How did they die?"
Chu Lingtian's expression turned serious as he pressed for details.
"Jiang Huan's subordinates reported that the three kidnappers not only refused to reveal who the mastermind was but also fought back desperately, so they were all shot and killed."
Liu Bingxue replied.
"That's impossible. Before Jiang Huan and his men appeared, I had already severely injured the remaining three kidnappers. They wouldn't have had the combat strength to fight back desperately. There must be something fishy about this."
Chu Lingtian immediately sensed that the cause of death of the remaining three kidnappers was not as Jiang Huan claimed. There must be another reason behind it.
"Yes, I also find it very strange, but I don't know what happened, and I can't investigate."
Liu Bingxue nodded.
"Alright, I'm going back to work."
Chu Lingtian stood up and walked towards the office door.
Liu Bingxue watched Chu Lingtian's retreating back, her brows furrowed. She realized that she had been genuinely worried that Chu Lingtian's personality would eventually lead to great trouble, and she truly didn't want this man to be in mortal danger.
She was starting to care about this man.
Swish!
As Chu Lingtian opened the office door, he almost bumped into Qin Li, who was coming his way.
"You, where are you going?"
Qin Li asked in a low voice.
"I'm done talking with President Liu. I'm going back to work in the underground parking lot."
Chu Lingtian said.
Qin Li was startled. She looked at the cup of tea in her hand and asked, "Then this Biluochun tea..."
"I'll take it to the underground parking lot to drink. Thank you."
Chu Lingtian took the tea cup with his left hand and slapped Qin Li's rounded buttocks with his right hand, leaving with a wicked grin.
Qin Li's face blushed. This time, there was no anger in her eyes, but rather a playful glare at Chu Lingtian.
After finishing work in the evening, Chu Lingtian sent Liu Bingxue home and then received a call from Bai Mei, saying that the person who had been secretly shooting at them with a sniper rifle at the bar had been found.
Chu Lingtian immediately went out again to meet Bai Mei.
After meeting Bai Mei, Chu Lingtian got into her car.
"The person who secretly shot at us with a sniper rifle at the bar is one of Black Panther's three great generals, nicknamed 'Headshot'."
"Headshot?"
Chu Lingtian asked.
"Yes. Ever since Black Panther retired, he has sent his three great generals to handle both the underworld and legal matters. These three great generals are: the eldest, Headshot, a master of firearms, who always shoots people in the head; the second, Iron Palm, who practices ancient martial arts and likes to kill people with his bare hands; and the third, Seductive Fox, a ruthless woman who can make any man fall at her feet and likes to kill men in bed."
Bai Mei explained.
"Did you find Headshot's hiding place?"
Chu Lingtian continued to inquire.
"Yes, three of my subordinates discovered Headshot hiding in an abandoned building on the outskirts. Unfortunately, they were accidentally exposed. Two of them had their heads blown off by sniper bullets on the spot. Only one managed to escape and report the situation to me."
Bai Mei nodded, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent.
Chu Lingtian said solemnly, "You fell into his trap."
"What? I fell into his trap?"
Bai Mei was greatly alarmed and asked.
