"Hurry up!" In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all three hundred Shen family guards were wiped out, leaving no trace of their bodies.
Shen Yuzhu was pale and her teeth were chattering. She grabbed Shen Mingzhu's hand and ran downstairs.
At that moment, Chen Guo and his two companions also turned and left.
"Whoosh!" A gust of wind swept over, and Shen Yuzhu was immediately lifted up and sent flying backward.
"Boom!" The energy vanished into thin air, and she fell from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground with a scream.
"Ah!" Shen Mingzhu turned around and was immediately startled by what she saw, not daring to move an inch.
When Chen Guo and the other two turned around and saw this scene, they trembled and dared not move.
"No one is allowed to leave without President Chen's order!" Shi Jing sneered.
Having witnessed Shi Jing's methods, Shen Mingzhu and the others understood that if they forcibly left without Chen Tiansheng's consent, a cloud of blood might appear on their bodies next!
Their gazes fell upon Chen Tiansheng, who was sitting in a chair in the distance, drinking tea.
Although all that could be seen was a back view, that back view suddenly seemed incredibly tall, even giving one a sense of suffocation!
Their impression of him instantly intensified, enveloping their entire consciousness, causing them to gasp for breath, cold sweat pouring out and dripping onto the ground.
"Drip!!" The sound of pouring tea rang out again, echoing in their ears. The clear sound, however, was now as heavy as mercury, and each drop seemed unbearable for them.
The reason for this is ultimately one: fear!
After witnessing the annihilation of the Shen family guards, they realized how formidable Chen Tiansheng was.
It overturned their imagination and instilled fear in them.
Chen Tiansheng looked out the window and quietly sipped his tea...
Time seemed to freeze on the third floor; each step the clock took was incredibly difficult.
The resulting sense of oppression became increasingly heavy.
"Sister-in-law, what should we do now?" Chen Guo asked in a low voice, his face covered in sweat, which washed away the blood and turned his face into a gruesome mess, even more terrifying than his previous red face.
"The only thing we can do is apologize to him and ask him to let us go."
"After we escape this time, we'll figure out a way to get rid of him!" Shen Mingzhu said.
"That's the only way!" Chen Guo nodded.
"What if he doesn't forgive me?" Chen Shun asked.
"Then we'll all kneel down!" Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth.
"When life is at stake, face means nothing!"
"That's the only way!" Chen Shun nodded.
“Then let’s go now!” he said again.
"Let him finish his tea!"
"It's best not to disturb them at this time!" Shen Mingzhu said.
"Um...."
On the ground, Shen Yuzhu shook her head, scattering the stars in her eyes, and braced herself with her hands behind her back, about to sit up.
But Shi Jing stepped on his chest, so he had no choice but to lie obediently on the ground.
Staring at the ceiling, he pondered a way to escape...
"Gulp." After finishing the last cup of tea, Chen Tiansheng slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over Shen Mingzhu and the others in the distance.
Finally, the foot moved back and landed on Shen Yuzhu. Shi Jing withdrew his foot and stepped aside.
"Judging from this, three slaps aren't enough!" He smiled and slowly stood up.
"They specially transferred three hundred guards from the capital to ambush me here, hoping to kill me!" He strode forward, walking step by step.
Shen Yuzhu braced herself with her hands behind her back and raised her head. "It was a miscalculation of mine not to kill you today!"
"If I had known earlier that you had such a powerful expert by your side, I would have mobilized even more powerful people!"
"You're not convinced?" Chen Tiansheng walked up to her, looked down at her.
"I refuse to accept this!!" Shen Yuzhu gritted her teeth and said.
"Knife." Chen Tiansheng reached out his hand.
Shi Jing flicked his wrist, and a short knife appeared, which he handed over.
Chen Tiansheng grabbed him and squatted down.
"He, he's going to kill Yuzhu!!" Upon witnessing this, Shen Mingzhu and the others immediately tensed up.
"Whether I submit or not is not important to me!" Chen Tiansheng moved his wrist, and the tip of the knife slowly moved down from Shen Yuzhu's face.
Shen Yuzhu's eyes immediately crossed as she stared intently at the tip of the knife, sweat pouring down her face.
"In my eyes, there is only the difference between life and death!" Chen Tiansheng sneered, the tip of the knife moving down from her chin again, aimed at her throat!
"If you dare to kill me, my father will never let you get away with it!"
"With his power and methods, killing you is just a matter of lifting a finger!" The chilling breath from his throat made Shen Yuzhu feel threatened with death. She raised Shen Lie and put pressure on Chen Tiansheng.
"Is he very capable?" Chen Tiansheng asked.
"certainly!"
"He is second only to the emperor in the court, holding a position of immense power."
"Even Shi Qing, the first minister of the Central Council, had his leg broken by him, and he didn't dare to utter a single word of complaint."
"He is such an extremely powerful being."
"Can you afford to mess with them?"
"Release me immediately, or you will die a terrible death!" Shen Yuzhu said.
"It seems he truly is someone second only to the emperor, above ten thousand others." Chen Tiansheng shook his head. "Shi Qing is a good official. After ascending to the position of First Minister, he has contributed significantly to the development of the country!"
"Economic development, attracting investment, and opening up ports—these were all his suggestions."
"Even the head of the Central Council praised it highly, and he was received by the head of state three times!"
"The fact that your father broke the leg of such a minister who made significant contributions to the country shows just how arrogant he was."
"I have absolutely no interest in politics!"
"But he is someone I deeply respect who has made significant contributions to the country."
"Your father broke Shi Qing's leg, which shows he's no good!"
"I can't stand it," Chen Tiansheng shook his head.
"What can you do if you can't stand it?" Shen Yuzhu sneered.
"Besides you, there are plenty of people who dislike him!"
"But in the end, these people either disappeared or died!"
"You may have some money, but what good is it?"
"Let me tell you, power is the most important thing."
“You’re nothing but an ant in front of him, someone he can crush with a single step!” Shen Yuzhu said.
"Really?" Chen Tiansheng smiled.
"Of course!" Shen Yuzhu sneered.
"Perhaps you've misunderstood!"
"Since the Chen family's conflict has involved the Shen family, a confrontation with Shen Lie is unavoidable."
"Since that's the case, we have no choice but to face it!"
"Furthermore, I really want to test my skills against Shen Lie, a man of immense power!"
Even a small ant can kill an elephant!
"Pfft!" Chen Tiansheng suddenly swung his knife, a cold glint flashing across his face.
Shen Yuzhu screamed in agony, and a gash immediately appeared on her delicate face, splattering blood.
"Pfft!" Another slash was made, and another gash appeared on the other half of his face, with blood spurting out.
