Xiao Zheng saw Mr. Liu as Mr. Liu also saw Xiao Zheng. A nefarious smile appeared on his face as he walked toward Xiao Zheng.
"How do you do, Mr. Xiao, we meet again."
Mr. Liu approached Xiao Zheng and extended his hand, preparing to shake hands with Xiao Zheng.
It was as if long-lost friends had been reunited, their faces both beaming with radiant smiles.
Xiao Zheng laughed heartily, his face also breaking into a radiant smile as he shook hands with Mr. Liu, at the same time saying, "It has indeed been a long time. I didn’t expect someone who had already stepped into Hell to return to the world of the living once again."
Mr. Liu laughed heartily, "Actually, I’m quite frustrated, you know. I seem to have a charmed life; even King Yan didn’t dare to take my life and sent me back instead."
At that moment, the scar on Mr. Liu’s face seemed to flash with a red light, a ghastly, ferocious temperament emerging as he chuckled coldly, "How is it, quite the surprise, isn’t it?"
Xiao Zheng nodded, "Indeed, it is quite a surprise."
Having said that, a sharp light suddenly burst forth from his eyes, fixating on Mr. Liu, "All these recent events, they were your doing, weren’t they?"
The ones who understand you best are usually your enemies!
Xiao Zheng naturally knew very well his former rival. Mr. Liu was an utterly terrifying person, outstanding in both intelligence and martial prowess. If it was true that he was behind the recent events, then everything made sense.
That style was indeed reminiscent of the former Mr. Liu, casual and leaving no trace, yet capable of delivering a fatal blow to his opponent!
If Mr. Liu’s this time had not targeted Xiao Zheng, he most likely would have achieved his goal.
"Hahaha, truly worthy of being the once prodigious youth, your vision is as sharp as ever. You really didn’t disappoint me," Mr. Liu appeared very pleased, even a bit excited.
Afterward, Mr. Liu suddenly stepped forward, drawing close to Xiao Zheng, and whispered with a chuckle, "I wonder if you’ve grown accustomed to these ’gifts’ I’ve given you? Don’t worry, if you like them, there’ll be many more surprises to come."
Xiao Zheng laughed, "You’ve got quite the nerve."
Mr. Liu laughed modestly, "Just average, average."
Xiao Zheng chuckled, then his expression suddenly turned icy as a terrifying killing intent surged out from his body. Without a second thought, his fist was already hurtling towards Mr. Liu’s throat!
Mr. Liu’s face changed, completely caught off guard that Xiao Zheng would dare to make a move at this juncture, he let out a sharp cry and crossed his arms in front of his vitals to block.
Xiao Zheng’s fist collided with his crossed arms, the savage force whipping up a fierce wind. Mr. Liu cried out as his body staggered backward, the clothes on his arms exploding into shreds with a loud pop.
Xiao Zheng sneered, stepping forward with lightning speed to appear before Mr. Liu. Immediately, his fists poured down like a torrential downpour.
Facing the ferocious onslaught, Mr. Liu could only try his best to block. Both men moved incredibly fast. To the naked eye, only blurred afterimages could be seen in the air, and ears could only pick up the continuous barrage of muffled booms.
That sound, like war drums thundering, made one’s heart pound violently, blood boiling and mind restless.
"It seems you haven’t been idle over these past few years either," laughed Xiao Zheng, as he launched another punch.
"Heh heh, you’re the same, huh?" Mr. Liu kicked out, blocking a punch from Xiao Zheng.
After exchanging these few words, they clashed once more. They were completely absorbed in the fight, utterly ignoring the gazes of the people around them. On this corridor, they engaged in a thrilling battle for life and death!
The sound of the wind howled as Mr. Liu finally found an opportunity to counterattack. He extended his hand to block one of Xiao Zheng’s attacks, then let out a loud shout and suddenly kicked out.
Xiao Zheng sneered in response, and in this critical moment, his body eerily bent, as if it had split in half.
Mr. Liu’s kick made direct contact with the wall, creating a thunderous noise and a massive hole in it!
"You are ultimately still not my match."
Xiao Zheng smiled coldly. After Mr. Liu’s kick hit nothing but air, Xiao Zheng’s body, which had bent over, sprang up like a spring of astonishing elasticity.
Then, an immense force surged from his thighs and spine, traveling up and gathering in his fist. Xiao Zheng bellowed, and his fist hammered out like a meteor.
A punch landed heavily on Mr. Liu’s abdomen.
Mr. Liu screamed in pain, and his body was flung into the air, crashing into the wall above the corridor and into an office.
That office belonged to a vice president of the company, who was inside at the time. The sudden intrusion of a person sent the vice president into a scream of terror!
"Both of you, stop fighting!"
Just then, a cold voice echoed from afar. The strange conversation between Xiao Zheng and Mr. Liu, along with their sudden lighting-fast exchange, left the beautiful CEO somewhat dumbfounded. Especially the violent aura during their combat shook her to the core.
Only now did the beautiful CEO regain her composure and called for them to stop, "If you two continue to create trouble in the company, I will call the police!"
"Hahaha, it’s fine, it’s fine. It was just a minor sparring session." Mr. Liu staggered to his feet from the ruins.
His injuries were severe, yet in such a situation, not only did his face not show any sign of pain, but he also appeared somewhat exhilarated.
The greater Xiao Zheng’s strength, the more satisfying it would feel to completely crush him!
"Heh heh, right, it was indeed just a sparring session."
Xiao Zheng also started to smile.
Their gazes met in mid-air, both icy and sharp as if they were a pair of invisible blades, colliding and scraping against each other in the void, sparking fiercely.
"President Leng, I shall take my leave now. As for the cooperation with your company, we’ll continue negotiations later." Mr. Liu, covered in blood, walked out from the hole in the wall and entered the elevator. The staff members accompanying Mr. Liu hurriedly followed suit.
Leng Ruobing was somewhat bewildered, but she was a wise woman after all. After glancing at Xiao Zheng and noticing his reassuring look, she nodded towards Mr. Liu and said, "All right, I, too, am looking forward to our continuing partnership."
