Although Zhang Tianzhe has disappeared from the martial arts world for many years, his name still hangs over the entire martial arts world like an invisible ghost. Those evil-minded, insidious and cunning villains seem to be haunted by nightmares under his residual power and have nowhere to hide.
As everyone knows, even the hidden masters who don't easily reveal their true abilities can't help but feel fear and tread on thin ice when his name is mentioned.
Zhang Tianzhe's reputation is like a towering and insurmountable mountain, standing deep in people's memory.
He doesn't need to show up in person. Just the mention of his name will be like a sudden thunderclap, scaring away those with evil intentions.
Under this invisible and irresistible pressure, the landlady no longer dared to disobey or resist, and could only turn to Shen Qingwei beside her with a frustrated look.
Her eyes were filled with helplessness and cowardice, like the last cry of a drowning person, pleading: "Qingwei, it's all because of my confused mind that I did such a stupid thing. Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you for all your losses!"
Her voice trembled, as if she was making a final effort to change her fate. "I will give you free rent for life. You can live here for ten, twenty, or thirty years. Can you please spare me?" Her words were full of earnestness and hope, as if she was holding on to the last straw.
However, Shen Qingwei's response was like a cold wind blowing across the calm lake, without any ripples: "There's no need for this. I'll pack up my things and leave here immediately!"
Her eyes were like a pool of deep water, quiet and steady, without a trace of hesitation or wavering, as if the decision to leave had already been engraved in her heart and was unwavering.
Seeing her indifferent, the landlady became more anxious, and her attitude became more humble and subservient: "Qingwei, don't bother with an uneducated shrew like me. Besides, I have always been good to you, right?"
Her eyes revealed deep regret and helplessness, her tone was full of bitterness, and she tried her best to make amends for everything.
"Haha, you've always been nice to me? Is that really how you treat me?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on Shen Qingwei's face, and the sneer in his eyes left the landlady speechless for a moment.
To Shen Qingwei, the so-called good is nothing but a hypocritical mask, warm as the sunshine, but hiding the coldness of the dark night.
"I...back then...if I hadn't rented the house to you at a low price, you might not have been able to find anywhere else to live. This is also a huge favor to you." The landlady's voice was mixed with urging and helplessness. She tried to use the past favor to change the current predicament. Her expression could no longer hide her embarrassment.
Shen Qingwei lowered his head and fell into a brief silence, while the anxiety on the landlady's face deepened further.
All this was beyond her expectations, and she felt helpless.
Under the shadow of Zhang Tianzhe's invisible majesty, all her pleas and excuses became pale and powerless, like a paper umbrella in a sudden rain, completely useless.
Shen Qingwei's calmness and composure became an unbearable pressure in her heart, making her feel uneasy and unable to breathe.
Shen Qingwei stood quietly in the messy house, his eyes as cold as ice, scanning the broken objects scattered on the ground. His indifferent expression seemed to isolate him from the chaos.
Her voice was deep, filled with a majesty that sent chills down one's spine. She spoke slowly, "I'm not interested in any compensation you offer. My only requirement is that the damaged items must be restored to their original condition. No mistakes allowed. Do you understand?!"
"you say!
What? ! "
The landlady was stunned, her face turning extremely pale. She was panicked and stammered, "You... want exact duplicates? These are antiques from the 1990s! They're so broken, where can I find identical items to return to you? You brought all this upon yourself, how can I find replacements? Qingwei, please be flexible. For your sake, please forgive me this time. I really have no other choice. Even if you can just double the money as compensation, that would be fine."
At this moment, the landlady stood in front of Shen Qingwei, her face full of helplessness and desolation, almost begging to express her predicament. It was obvious that she was about to have an emotional breakdown, and her eyes were red and tearful.
However, Shen Qingwei's gaze remained as cold as usual, without any ripples.
She replied calmly, "I'm sorry, I just want to get back what's mine. Although they appear old and damaged, they are incredibly precious to me. Each item carries memories of the past, a comfort from home, and is imbued with deep emotional sustenance. You have no right to discard or damage these things. It's not that I want to embarrass anyone, but please don't expect me to give up so easily. Remember, tolerance doesn't mean being easily bullied."
The landlady's face became increasingly gloomy, her eyes filled with despair, and she turned to Zhang Tianzhe blankly for help.
Those pleading eyes looked at Zhang Tianzhe with full expectation, hoping that he could help out and persuade Shen Qingwei to let her go.
But after looking around, Zhang Tianzhe's obvious unwillingness to get involved in this matter was chilling.
He had a sarcastic sneer on his face, and his tone was icy cold. "What's wrong? Didn't you hear the instructions clearly? Every item must be returned intact. Even if one item is missing, you know the consequences. If it's not completed by tomorrow, expect even more severe consequences!"
Zhang Tianzhe's words were like a cold dagger, piercing the landlady's heart, and his words were full of unquestionable toughness.
Faced with such cruel words, the landlady's face turned pale and her whole body trembled slightly, as if she could no longer withstand such a blow.
