Wang Meng turned around and explained to Xiao Tian, who looked suspicious, "This Sun Liang is the top player at the Dragon City Martial Arts Hall. He’s been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is quite a skilled fighter."
Relying on the Dragon Capturing Hand technique, he’s quite famous throughout Jiangnan Province. A few years ago, his enemies came for revenge and hired more than a dozen hitmen to ambush him. They couldn’t kill him, which shows how terrifying he is."
After speaking, Wang Meng shook his head incredulously and said, "I didn’t expect Chairman Chen to be able to invite such a big shot. I wonder how much money it took...."
Sun Liang strolled over, exuding strong confidence from head to toe.
However, in Xiao Tian’s eyes, Sun Liang wasn’t as impressive as Wang Meng had said. Xiao Tian muttered indifferently, "Nothing special."
When Chen Li saw Sun Liang, his face immediately lit up with a warm smile, followed by a respectful greeting, "Director Sun, you must be tired from the journey, please come in and have a seat."
"Haha, hello Chairman Chen!"
Sun Liang greeted carelessly, then walked up to the three people. Looking down at Wang Meng and Xiao Tian, he said:
"We’ll take care of protecting Chairman Chen this time. You two little police officers should leave early, so you don’t get in the way later."
Get in the way? How dare he say the former martial arts champion of the criminal police team would get in the way, isn’t that an insult!
A flicker of anger passed across Wang Meng’s face!
If it were anyone else, Wang Meng would have already erupted. But since this came out of Sun Liang’s mouth, even if he had to grind his teeth, Wang Meng could only swallow his pride.
Wang Meng glanced at Sun Liang, somewhat apprehensive, and then replied, "We are ordered to protect Chen Li. We will not leave until the time comes."
"I spent a lot of money to bring Director Sun here for my protection. You two little police officers better show some respect." Chen Li looked at them coldly, then smiled at Sun Liang and said, "Please come in, Director Sun."
Chen Li invited Sun Liang and the others inside, and Wang Meng followed in, gritting his teeth in resentment. For a moment, only Xiao Tian and Chen Li were left at the entrance.
Chen Li turned back, looking at Xiao Tian aloofly, and asked, "Why? Not going in?"
Xiao Tian wasn’t concerned with Chen Li’s indifferent attitude. He took out the Water Drop Notebook from his pocket and showed it to Chen Li, asking, "Do you recognize this symbol?"
When Chen Li saw the Water Drop symbol clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted. He hurriedly said, "I don’t know it," and quickly walked into the villa.
Xiao Tian squinted his eyes slightly, "It seems the information provided by the net is correct."
Since he already knew that Chen Li was associated with the Water Drop Organization, Xiao Tian didn’t press him further to avoid making Chen Li end up like Sun Tian. That would be counterproductive; he had to take it slow!
Inside the villa, a group of people was discussing the death threat letter.
The death threat letter mentioned arriving at night but didn’t specify the exact time. It’s still just around noon, so the group sat idly in the villa’s living room, starting to brag to one another.
Chen Li sat on the sofa, looking at the burly Sun Liang, and flattering him, "Director Sun, I heard you were once besieged by more than a dozen gunmen and managed to escape unscathed. Is that true?"
Before Sun Liang could speak, his top disciple Tian stood up and, full of confidence, explained:
"Chairman Chen, this is indeed true. And not only did Master escape unscathed at the time, but he also took down seven or eight of the attacking gunmen on the spot. The remaining ones fled in panic. My Master preferred not to publicize the incident, so it was left to the outside world to speculate wildly!"
After listening, Chen Li’s face showed astonishment. A barehanded man facing more than a dozen armed men, and still managed to incapacitate seven or eight on the spot, is he even human! Chen Li stood up applauding with delight, "Director Sun, you’re really formidable!"
Wang Meng also showed a look of amazement, giving Sun Liang a thumbs-up in appreciation, "Director Sun is like Bruce Lee reborn, astonishing, astonishing!"
In the villa’s living room, Xiao Tian smiled faintly, listening to their chatter.
Sun Liang turned his head to see Xiao Tian’s indifferent expression and then slapped the armrest with a bang, saying, "Tian, show them our Sun Family martial arts!"
Tian stood up swiftly, respectfully clasping his fist toward Sun Liang, "Pardon my humble skills!"
After speaking, Tian pulled a toothpick from a fruit platter and wildly flicked it around in the air. A few seconds later, Sun Liang pinched the toothpick tightly with two fingers and slapped it down onto the mahogany table!
"Boom——"
The incredibly sturdy mahogany table was split in half by Sun Liang’s palm, and the slender toothpick was embedded upright in the table. The most surprising part was that it had pierced through ten flies!
"Clap clap clap——"
"Senior Brother is amazing!"
"Wow! If the apprentice is so impressive, imagine how strong Director Sun must be!"
Everyone present applauded, and Wang Meng was dumbfounded by Tian’s performance, "If the apprentice is that powerful, what would happen if Director Sun himself took action...."
Only Xiao Tian remained expressionless, considering Tian’s actions as mere tricks.
Sun Liang snorted disdainfully at Xiao Tian, then apologized to Chen Li with a clasped fist, "Chairman Chen, sorry for ruining one of your nice tables."
"No problem, no problem!"
Chen Li stood up, clasping his hands toward Tian and Sun Liang respectfully, "It’s just a mahogany table, it can be replaced. But capable talents like Director Sun and your team are irreplaceable with money!"
"Hahaha!"
Sun Liang laughed heartily at Chen Li’s flattery, and the matter was put to rest. The group sat idly in the villa’s living room once again... until nightfall ...
"Ah!"
A scream outside the villa shattered the quiet atmosphere inside.
Chen Li’s ears were startled like being struck by thunder, and he stood up fiercely, shouting, "What’s going on!"
"Ah!"
Just as Chen Li finished speaking, another scream sounded outside the villa. This scream heightened the awareness of the seriousness of the situation among those inside!
The sender of the death threat letter is here!
Sun Liang stood up and said in a low tone, "Come with me to check it out."
After speaking, Sun Liang led the way out the door, and when they reached the entrance, everyone was shocked!
On the lawn outside the villa, several bodyguards in suits were lying sprawled all around. Seven more bodyguards were besieging a crew-cut man.
Wang Meng raised an eyebrow, looking at the scene in shock, "This crew-cut guy is impressive, fighting seven and still handling it with ease!"
Sun Liang, however, was dismissive of it, spitting on the ground and saying, "Just a flashy show-off, my disciple Tian can take him down easily with a flick of the wrist!"
But just as he finished his sentence, the scream echoed again.
