Volume 1 Chapter 36 One Shot
Li Tian looked at Chen Pingshan without fear, thinking: I am a human being, and you are also a human being, why should I be afraid of you? You both look the same even after death, so who is afraid of who?
"Young man, let me remind you that you have chosen a path of no return," said Chen Pingshan.
"Whether there is a point of no return or not, only time will tell."
Li Tian smiled and said calmly, "Mr. Chen, do you know a game called Snake Battle?"
Chen Pingshan shook his head: "I am an old man and I don't understand the games you young people like to play."
"You don't know what I'm telling you."
Li Tian raised his eyebrows. "In this game, each player's initial character is a small snake. The small snake needs to make continuous efforts and absorb sporadic nutrients to make itself stronger and stronger, and eventually become a big snake that dominates the area."
"This game is not only about hand speed, but also about strategy. A big snake can easily eat a small snake with its strong advantage, but sometimes, the big snake that dominates the area will capsize and be killed by a small snake. The small snake will eat its body and grow into a big snake, taking its place and dominating the area."
After hearing what Li Tian said, Richard's palms were covered with cold sweat.
This is obviously a metaphor that Mr. Chen is the big snake, and he, Li Tian, is the small snake that kills the big snake.
Damn, where on earth does this guy get the courage to talk like that? Doesn’t he really know how to write the word death?
Richard fell into deep thought. Both Zhong Lijuan's mother and Zhong Lijuan's brother said that Li Tian was a good-for-nothing. But how could a good-for-nothing have the courage and bravery to be so presumptuous in front of Mr. Chen, who was so all-powerful in Binhai.
Then, Richard thought of a result. Maybe Li Tian felt that this was a society ruled by law and Mr. Chen would not dare to do anything to him.
Stupid, naive, and childish!
His father was Mr. Chen's favorite student. His father once told him privately that during the rise of the Chen family, Mr. Chen had drowned at least a hundred people in the Han River.
Those people are like evaporated from the face of the earth, without any trace left. In the face of absolute power and wealth, the law cannot guarantee your life and property. Wiping you out of this world is as easy as stepping on an ant on the ground.
This ignorant and stupid guy has no idea what he is facing.
Thinking of this, Richard looked at Li Tian with some sympathy and contempt.
Fang Dehai stopped reeling in the line, and flew into a rage, shouting at the men in black around him: "What are you still standing there for? Beat his mouth!"
Several men in black nodded and immediately approached Li Tian.
Chen Pingshan said in a deep voice: "Back off."
Hearing this, the men in black respectfully returned to their original positions.
"Teacher, this kid is disrespectful to you. You have to teach him a lesson." Fang Dehai said.
Chen Pingshan raised his hand, signaling him not to speak.
Fang Dehai bowed and said nothing more, just glared at Li Tian fiercely.
"Your name is Li Tian?" Chen Pingshan asked Li Tian with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
"Yes, Muzi Li, the Lord of Heaven." Li Tian straightened his chest.
Chen Pingshan smiled and said, "I'll remember you." Then he walked back to the fishing chair and sat down, "Okay, you can go now."
Can we go now?
Is it that simple?
Li Tian found it a little hard to believe, but then he thought that he might not be so important in the hearts of his fellow villagers that they had to get rid of him.
But if I didn't follow his advice and go to the Public Security Bureau to replace Zhao Guofeng, I'm afraid there would be endless troubles in the future.
There is nothing to be afraid of. When enemies come, we will stop them with soldiers; when water comes, we will block it with earth.
"Goodbye." Li Tian threw down these two words, turned around and left.
"Boom~"
A gunshot rang out like thunder, and Li Tian instinctively braked the car. His keen senses made him turn his head and look towards the window on the third floor of Chen Mansion in the distance.
There, there was a figure holding a sniper rifle.
A palm-length sniper bullet tore the world apart in mid-air, and the force generated by its rotation caused the space to slightly distort.
The pace of time seemed to be slowed down hundreds of times. At a certain moment, Li Tian could even see the pattern on the bullet clearly.
Immediately afterwards, the sniper bullet whizzed past his left ear, and the terrifying impact energy contained in the bullet vibrated through the air.
"Buzz~"
Li Tian only felt that his left ear was in a severe tinnitus state. For a while, he could not hear any other sound except the buzzing sound. At the same time, there was a severe burning sensation from his left ear to his face.
Although the bullet did not hit him, it made his soul tremble violently.
He is just an ordinary person who has never received any special training. He accidentally inherited a legacy and has a pretty good fighting ability, but his psychological endurance has not yet improved.
The bullet frightened him so much that his legs became uncontrollable and too stiff to bend.
Not to mention him, Richard was so frightened by the sudden loud gunshot that he fell to the ground.
After Fang Dehai was stunned for a while, a satisfied smile appeared on his old face.
The men in black around him remained unmoved, as if they knew in advance that a sniper would shoot at Li Tian.
Li Tian took great pains to turn around and looked at Chen Pingshan. The old man cast his fishing rod again as if nothing had happened, then sat down on the fishing chair and hummed an unknown tune.
He knew that the old man had let someone give him a warning on purpose. If he really wanted to kill him, he would have shot him in the head with that shot just now.
Li Tian gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and then quickly walked out of the Chen Mansion.
However, both his soul and body were severely frightened by the sniper bullet, so much so that he almost fell to the ground several times while walking out of Chen Mansion.
It's not that he is useless or cowardly. He has never come into contact with a gun or bullet before. He has only seen it on TV.
When he personally experienced the feeling of a handful of bullets flying past his ears, he realized how terrifying it was. It was like brushing shoulders with death and his scalp was tingling.
"My old friend, I will make you pay back for this humiliation sooner or later!" Li Tian swore secretly in his heart.
On the Han River.
The bearded man was full of doubts. He couldn't understand. Li Tian was obviously very skilled. He was confident in his own strength and was not panicked at all when facing the gun. Li Tian should be a strong man who was not afraid of anything. How could he be scared to the point of his legs going limp by a sniper bullet?
"Teacher, look, that kid is so scared that he can't even walk. I guess his crotch is wet now." Fang Dehai said to Chen Pingshan with relish.
Chen Pingshan laughed and said, "Young people have no respect for their elders, so they need to be disciplined."
"Teacher is right, but he cheated your son-in-law, so are you going to let him go?" Fang Dehai asked.
Chen Pingshan looked at the river: "I have always warned Guofeng that men should be prudent, but he is still so impulsive. Let him reflect on himself in there for a while. He must be responsible for his actions." He suddenly changed the subject, and his gloomy eyes emitted a cold light like a venomous snake, "No matter who it is, he must be responsible for his actions!"
Fang Dehai broke out in a cold sweat and said respectfully, "Yes."
