"Do you dare say that this was approved through the proper procedures? If not, I'll not only make things difficult for you, but also for the person who approved it. Do you want to try?" Xia Jingyi said bluntly.
“You…” An Zhiguo was speechless after being rebuked.
Yes, this thing was approved through connections; it's a genuine dragon seal, and the approval process is extremely rigorous.
If they really investigate, he'll be in deep trouble, and even the person who criticized him won't get away with it.
"So, An Zhiguo, are you going to take the gamble?" Xia Jingyi stared at him coldly, her tone arrogant.
An Zhiguo certainly wouldn't dare, but as one of the top elites in Yanjing, he certainly wouldn't give up so easily.
“Xia Jingyi, I don’t care what your relationship is with this kid, but it’s a personal matter between us. I advise you not to get involved and cause trouble for yourself.” An Zhiguo said with a dark face, “Otherwise, it won’t do you any good.”
"Personal grudges?" Xia Jingyi laughed, then said sternly, "I don't care what personal grudges you have, I can tell you this person, I'm protecting him, let's see who dares to touch him."
"If anyone dares to touch a single piece of paper here, I will execute them without mercy with my pardon."
An overbearing aura suddenly emanated from Xia Jingyi. At this moment, she was like a mother protecting her child, shielding Ye Xingchen with her own wings to prevent anyone from harming him.
"Yes." Su Ruochu nodded slightly, took a step forward, and said softly, "Ms. Xia has ordered that anyone who dares to step forward will be killed without mercy."
The moment Su Ruochu took that light step forward, her aura suddenly changed dramatically, transforming her from a gentle and lovely little girl into a celestial being.
The previous step involved celestial phenomena, and Confucianism, inheriting the essence of heaven and earth, gleaned the power of Confucianism and Taoism from poetry and books, enabling them to harm others with their words.
For a moment, An Zhiguo found himself in a predicament where he couldn't back down. He gritted his teeth and looked at the people in front of him, wishing he could kill them all.
However, Ye Xingchen and the Confucian fairy with unpredictable strength are simply not something that Yagyu Yuzuru on their side can defeat alone.
“Mr. Yagyu?” Sato Matsu looked at the greatest swordsman of Japan.
Now, Yagyu Yuuma, who is known as the number one swordsman in Japan, also has a serious expression. His hand is on the hilt of his sword, and he has obviously been intimidated by Su Ruochu's Confucian and Taoist power.
He gently shook his head: "Mr. Sato, this is the power of Confucianism and Taoism. Entering Taoism through Confucianism is even better than martial arts. Today's matter is not worth pursuing."
“Okay, I understand, thank you, sir.” Sato Matsuichi nodded slowly. “I never imagined that China was such a place where hidden talents reside.”
"A mere maidservant by Lady Xia's side actually possesses such great power. The Great Xia land is vast and rich in resources, and it is full of talented people."
Sato Matsuichi's tone carried a hint of envy. Why is China so powerful? If he had a third of China's land and talent in Japan, he would have expanded his territory tenfold by now.
"She is Ruochu, my junior. She gleaned the power of Confucianism and Taoism from my father's study, so she can be considered my father's disciple," Xia Jingyi said calmly. "Is the Nico Group's visit to China this time not to seek cooperation, but to plunder?"
"If this is true, then I need to consider your country's sincerity. My China has 36 projects in your country, but they are not yet fully set up. If I say stop, it's just a matter of a word."
"Ms. Xia, please don't misunderstand. We are very sincere, and this matter will not affect our other collaborations." Sato's expression changed.
"That would be best. If there's nothing else, Mr. Sato, please leave. I don't want today's incident to happen again." Xia Jingyi glanced at him.
"Hehe, China today is not what it used to be," Sato Matsu said with a smile. "My grandfather, Sato Daisuke, was a high-ranking general in Japan. He was highly respected in your land."
"Is your grandfather still alive?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“Of course he is.” Sato Matsuichi said seriously, “He is looking for an opportunity to return to China.”
"Then tell him he doesn't need to come. I will go to Japan and kill all those who committed heinous crimes back then and are still alive. I will kick down your shrine and burn your faith to the ground," Ye Xingchen sneered.
"Young man, don't go too far with your words." Sato Matsuichi snorted and turned to leave.
"Ye-kun." Yagyu Yuma bowed slightly to Ye Xingchen.
"Is there anything else?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"I am the greatest swordsman in Japan. I am fortunate to have met an opponent like you, Mr. Ye. I look forward to a battle with you." Yagyu Yuuma smiled slightly.
"If you're ready, come find me anytime. But once my sword pellet is drawn, it won't be drawn until it's taken a few dog lives," Ye Xingchen said with a sneer.
"Okay, I'll wait." Yuuma Yagyu nodded politely before leaving.
"Ye Xingchen, things between us have only just begun." An Zhiguo said through gritted teeth as he looked at Ye Xingchen.
"I might as well tell you, I killed your son." Ye Xingchen grinned.
"It really is you, I'll take your life..." An Zhiguo roared in fury.
Although he knew that Ye Xingchen had done it, he was still greatly shocked when the other party admitted it himself.
In a flash, Su Ruochu stood in front of Ye Xingchen: "Patriarch An, if you take another step forward, I will not be polite."
"Who do you think you are? A mere orphan of the Su family who was wiped out, how dare you speak to me like that?" An Zhiguo roared.
Su Ruochu looked somewhat sad. In a daze, she saw again the little girl in the firelight, watching helplessly as her loved ones perished in the flames.
Immediately, her eyes turned sharp: "So what if he's a descendant of the Su family? Since Patriarch An won't listen to reason, then don't blame me for being impolite. Break."
As she uttered the word "broken," An Zhiguo let out a muffled groan, and then his body flew out of the reception room like a kite with a broken string.
With a crash and a scream, his body slammed heavily against the window.
Broken glass covered him, and he screamed and struggled on the ground outside.
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but glance at Su Ruochu, only to see the murderous intent in her eyes gradually disappear, and she returned to her gentle and charming appearance.
叶星辰甚至怀疑现在的她，甚至拿不动一柄水果刀，那种柔柔定定的样子，让人忍不住心生爱怜。
安志国的一群下属慌忙扶着他离开了，这件事情算是告一段落了。
“夏姨，谢谢你了。”叶星辰说。
“你没事吧小叶？安家这些人，思想觉悟向来不正确，看来有必要向上面汇报一下了。”夏静宜拉着叶星辰的手，十分关切：“你没受伤吧？”
