"What do you want me for!"
Cheng Bao glanced at Zhao Lin impatiently and said, "Don’t look at me with that kind of eyes, I’m not into that, and don’t bother me unless necessary. All of you from the Zhao Family are a bunch of hypocrites, smiling tigers; always thinking about how to scheme against others. I’m not interested in your damn issues, goodbye."
"Mr. Cheng, the Chairman, please, calm down."
Zhao Lin struggled to get up from the ground and hurriedly called out to the departing Cheng Bao, "Chairman Cheng, please wait. Someone has beaten me up, and I know you have a lot of skilled people under you. If you help me out this once, I will give all the security work in Xiangjiang to your company this year, including those under Lin Hua Security Company."
"Pretty boy, are you sure you’re not lying to me?"
Cheng Bao suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes sweeping the surroundings, and then he noticed Lu Tianxing standing nearby. A hint of doubt flickered through his eyes as he felt a sense of déjà vu with Lu Tianxing.
"That’s right, as long as Chairman Cheng teaches this bastard a lesson for me, I’m willing to pay any price," Zhao Lin said through gritted teeth, his gaze towards Lu Tianxing filled with a vicious and resentful hue.
Cheng Bao ignored Zhao Lin’s words and carefully sized up Lu Tianxing instead. Suddenly, Cheng Bao’s face turned extremely pale, as if he had realized something utterly terrifying. His body shook uncontrollably, like he was experiencing convulsions, and his eyes showed a hint of terror. Without a second thought, he lifted his foot and gave Zhao Lin a fierce kick in the chest, "Fuck, I knew you Zhao Family hypocrites were up to no good, damn it, you’re actually setting a trap for me to fall into. Go find your own damn death, but don’t drag me down with you, get the hell out of here, fuck~your~grandfather."
Zhao Lin had just sat up when he was violently kicked away by Cheng Bao again, spurting out another mouthful of fresh blood.
By now, Zhao Lin was completely dumbfounded. Who exactly was this person? Not only did he cause a ruckus in Bai Zhiqing’s office without her getting angry, but now even the normally fearless Cheng Bao was so intimidated. What was going on? Wasn’t Lu Tianxing just a minor assistant, a nobody without any background?
Ignoring Zhao Lin, Cheng Bao strode towards Lu Tianxing, his face full of nervousness, "The milit..."
"My name is Lu Tianxing."
Lu Tianxing cut Cheng Bao off mid-sentence. His gaze fell on Cheng Bao, as if remembering something, a flash of realization crossing his mind, "You... you’re Black Leopard?"
"Yes, yes, I’m Black Leopard. I didn’t expect Mr. Lu to remember me," Cheng Bao replied, his face suddenly showing an incredibly excited expression, like a child praised by his teacher, causing the onlookers to be utterly baffled.
"Weren’t you doing well abroad? Why suddenly come to Xiangjiang?"
Lu Tianxing looked at Cheng Bao with curiosity.
He recognized Cheng Bao, back when he was still a soldier, an important intelligence officer from the military received crucial intelligence in America, but also encountered the pursuit of American agents. To rescue the intelligence officer, he led a small team secretly into America. Unfamiliar with the local terrain, they found the local big shot Cheng Bao, who guided them to successfully rescue the intelligence officer, and thus he got to know Cheng Bao.
However, what puzzled Lu Tianxing was why Cheng Bao, who was doing so well abroad, would suddenly return to China.
"Mr. Lu, you jest. How could I be considered successful? At best, I’m just scraping by. Besides, what’s out there compared to home? After you left, I brought a few brothers back to China, and over the years, we’ve made a bit of a mark."
Cheng Bao was filled with emotion. When he first saw Lu Tianxing, he realized how laughable his so-called influence was. The group of American agents in Lu Tianxing’s hands were like porcelain dolls, breaking with a single touch. More than thirty American agents were almost completely murdered in a matter of minutes. Thinking back on it now still sent chills down his spine.
Killing people without batting an eye, that could well describe Lu Tianxing.
Watching Cheng Bao and Lu Tianxing chatting and laughing, Xue Man was dumbfounded, blinking hard and staring in disbelief at the scene before her.
Who was Cheng Bao? A renowned entrepreneur from Xiangjiang, with immense influence, a typical member of the upper class. And who was Lu Tianxing? A rogue, a damn thug, at most someone with a bit of strength, nothing more than a lecher. How could he know Cheng Bao? The disparity between their statuses was simply too vast.
Xue Man could never have imagined that Lu Tianxing, a mere assistant at Bai’s Group, would know Cheng Bao. Moreover, from their conversation, it was easy to tell that Cheng Bao was placing himself much lower, as low as if he were a servant, while Lu Tianxing was the master.
Xue Man felt her brain wasn’t quite working. What on earth was going on? Could the company rumors be true, that Lu Tianxing was an undercover young master from a grand family, out to experience life?
Lu Tianxing lit a cigarette, glanced at Zhao Lin and said, "You want to stand up for him?"
Cheng Bao curled his lips, mockingly said, "Mr. Lu, you must be joking. Why would I stand up for such an idiot?"
Under normal circumstances, Cheng Bao might have been willing to do a favor, agreeing to stand up for Zhao Lin in return for taking down the security business in Xiangjiang and expanding his own power. But now, even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to do so for Zhao Lin.
Who was Lu Tianxing? A famous figure in China’s military sphere, powerful enough to scare people. Even without considering Lu Tianxing’s strength, just his military background alone was terrifyingly extensive. If he dared to Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience.
It wasn’t worth losing one’s life over a bit of profit.
"Idiot, you’re right, he is indeed an idiot."
Lu Tianxing let out a cold laugh, his gaze landing on Zhao Lin, and said with a faint smile, "You seem quite dissatisfied."
The response Lu Tianxing got was a resentful glare accompanied by a bit of unwillingness. Zhao Lin had never expected that Lu Tianxing would be so familiar with Cheng Bao.
"Since you’re so dissatisfied, I’ll give you another chance, so you can’t accuse me of bullying the weak. Aren’t you the young master of the Zhao Family? I’ll give you a chance to call for help. Call someone from the Zhao Family to help you. Isn’t this the method you rich kids like? If you can’t beat them, call for the elders. I don’t mind. At worst, I’ll just take on both the big and the small," said Lu Tianxing, in a calm and unruffled manner.
