Chapter 145 Dare not kill?
"This is..."
"Zhang Huaiyuan?" Before Li Ruoning finished speaking, Sun Jingan walked in uninvited, looking calm and composed.
Li Ruoning frowned, but when Li Ming winked at her, she closed the door and left.
"I came here yesterday and was turned away. I thought he knew everything." Sun Jing'an sat down and straightened his clothes. He didn't talk to Li Ming at first, but looked at Zhang Huaiyuan. "I didn't expect that little brother Li Ming didn't know anything."
He smiled and said, "Young man, it's a good habit to want to take care of everything yourself."
"However, sometimes you have to do things within your ability. There are some things that you can't handle, and you can't touch them."
It was interesting to talk about something that was not what he intended. Li Ming laughed.
Zhang Huaiyuan's face flushed red, unable to bear the provocation, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Old thing..."
"You go out first." Li Ming pressed Zhang Huaiyuan's shoulder.
Zhang Huaiyuan nodded, calmed down, stood up silently, and walked out.
Sun Jing'an seemed to have just seen Li Ming, and a smile spread across his face. "Mr. Li, your name has often rang in my ears, and today we finally meet."
"Director Sun, you're too polite." Li Ming waved his hand. "I've been hearing the name of Xingchuang since I was a child."
"Tease me?" Sun Jing'an pointed at Li Ming and said with a helpless smile, "I've heard a little about what happened on Silver Ash Star, but I didn't expect them to go so far."
"You understand, even though someone like me is in charge of a branch of Star Creation, I only look at the financial statements every day. It's impossible for me to be comprehensive."
"How dare I." Li Ming smiled.
"You're so modest." Sun Jing'an pointed at his neck and said, "Now when I see you, I have to wear this thing."
"Alas, I have no choice. Everyone is in danger now. Everyone could be a spark. A few sparks tried to assassinate me just two days ago." Li Ming spread his hands helplessly.
"Oh?" Sun Jing'an's heart moved slightly, "There is actually someone here who can assassinate you?"
"Yes, you say it's scary or not." Li Ming didn't want to go into details and sighed:
"At such a sensitive moment, Director Sun suddenly asked to see me. I was also scared."
Li Ming took a sip of water and said half-jokingly: "So, I didn't dare to see you yesterday. I almost suspected that you were also a fire seed."
"Haha..." Sun Jing'an laughed, his tone casual: "It's not worth wasting such a spark of mine just to assassinate you."
"I'm here to bring you something good." Sun Jing'an wanted to pick up the suitcase next to him.
However, because he was wearing a gene inhibitor, he couldn't lift it up for several attempts.
"Let me help you."
Seeing this, Li Ming helped him pick it up and put it on the table. Sun Jingan entered the password and opened it. White mist filled the air and pushed it towards Li Ming.
Li Ming raised his eyebrows. There was a red irregular metal block surrounded by flames. It was obviously of mother ore grade.
"What does Director Sun mean?" Li Ming was puzzled.
"I heard that Xunying Company took a piece of metal mother ore as a gift, so I'll take one too. I can't be inferior to them." Sun Jingan said with a smile:
"While competition is the key to progress, you're using Xunying Company to compete with us, which seems a bit disrespectful to us."
Sun Jing'an's expression gradually calmed down. "But it's understandable. After all, there aren't many large, multi-civilization companies on Blue Star. Aside from those monopoly-level giants, they're the only decent ones."
"I know there are some misunderstandings between us, and because of some unforeseen circumstances, the misunderstandings have a tendency to escalate."
"However, I think we can stop here. Cooperating with Xunying Company is far inferior to cooperating with us."
Sun Jing'an crossed his legs and looked at Li Ming, feeling confident.
He didn't take Li Ming seriously at first. At the beginning, Li Ming's development potential was only level eight. Although it was not low, it was not enough for him to put aside his face and erase the grudge.
Unless Li Ming comes and surrenders.
However, as the situation developed, this person showed more and more amazing potential. In terms of mechanical craftsmanship, he could even assemble mechas with his bare hands.
The development potential has reached an astonishing level of sixteen.
This kind of enemy should either be killed as soon as possible or turned into a friend.
He was struggling for a while until Xunying Company jumped out to challenge him, and even produced some clues found from somewhere, almost bringing him down.
After inquiring from many sources, he confirmed that these clues came from Li Ming again.
Only then did he make up his mind to make peace with Li Ming.
However, this time he is also the winner, not a loser who comes to surrender, and he wants Li Ming to realize this.
As for this mother ore, it is a stepping stone for young people. After all, they are young, arrogant and want to save face.
"Cooperation, how do we cooperate?" Li Ming asked back.
"It's actually very simple. Just do for us what you did for Xunying Company." Sun Jing'an clasped his hands together and said kindly, "We also hope that you can help us comfort the people of Silver-Ash Star."
"They were bewitched by Xunying Company and have a lot of prejudice against us."
"We will also contribute funds to establish a genetics association to treat silver-gray disease."
"You want me to backstab Silver-Ash Star?" Li Ming said with a half-smile, "If that happens, I think I'll be scolded very badly."
"It's just public opinion that will be forgotten after a while. We will help you suppress it." Sun Jing'an said nonchalantly: "Do you still care what those people say? Your future will not be limited to Blue Star."
Seeing that Li Ming didn't say anything and just looked at him, Sun Jing'an frowned slightly. "If you continue, it will not do you any good, and it will do even less good to Silver Ash Star. We just don't want to go too far, not that we can't do it."
Seeing that Li Ming still didn't speak, he laughed and said, "Young man, your development potential is indeed amazing, but it is only potential. It is still uncertain when it can be realized."
Li Ming sighed, "I thought you were really here to make peace."
Sun Jingan frowned, "Isn't it?"
Li Ming shook his head and said nothing. He thought the other party was here to apologize.
The other party thought that he was given a chance and messed up the attack.
Sun Jingan was a little impatient. "I don't understand. Where do you get the confidence to fight us? Wu Yanqing? Or who else?"
Sun Jing'an shook his head, closed the suitcase again, stood up, straightened his clothes, and said disappointedly: "Since there is no agreement, then let's go to war. Xunying Company will undoubtedly lose, and Silver Gray Star is still under our control."
"By the time you're truly capable of forcing me to surrender, it's hard to say whether Silver Ash Star will still be habitable."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Li Ming say calmly, "Did I... let you leave?"
Sun Jingan shook his head and chuckled, "I won't stay here for dinner. I've already made an appointment with Duke Bai Ye, so I won't see you off."
Just as he was about to take a step, a sharp numbness and pain shot up from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and his whole body couldn't help but collapse on the sofa.
His eyebrows twitched and he turned his head with difficulty, only then did he see the arc of electricity dissipating from Li Ming's fingertips.
Sun Jing'an felt uneasy and shouted, "What do you want to do? If you dare to take advantage of this opportunity to beat me up, I will fight you to the death!"
"Beat?" Li Ming couldn't help laughing. He took out a triangular dagger from somewhere, which flashed with a cold light. He pressed the button on the handle and it oscillated at an extremely high frequency.
Li Ming shook his head: "You just threatened me, but you thought I just wanted to beat you up?"
"What...what do you want to do?" Sun Jing'an couldn't help but feel shocked, and a huge panic surged in his heart.
But he still didn't believe that Li Ming dared to kill him here.
"I am the regional director of Xingchuang Company. If you kill me, Xingchuang Company will not let you go." He scolded repeatedly.
"T-C22 hypersonic missile." Li Ming suddenly spit out a few nouns.
Sun Jing'an was startled and frightened. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in disbelief. "You, how did you know about this batch of missiles?"
"Selling arms to the Torch Organization, you guys at Star Creation are really brave." Li Ming walked up behind Sun Jing'an, put his hands on his shoulders, and leaned forward slightly. "Is there anyone else behind you?"
"No, no..." Sun Jingan shook his head repeatedly, "We didn't know the buyer was Torch!"
"Are you stupid or am I?" Li Ming laughed. "In the Silver Star Cluster, who would buy such a large quantity of arms for no reason? You can figure it out if you use your brain."
"Also, this screening didn't even find your Xingchuang company. Either you really don't have any problems at all, or the problems are incredibly serious."
"You...I..." Sun Jingan completely lost his support.
He was puzzled at the same time, because he and Fu Zongchen were the only two people who knew about this matter.
The matter could not have been leaked from him, so it could only have been Fu Zongchen.
But Fu Zongchen had died a long time ago, and he had a grudge against Li Ming, so there was no way he could tell Li Ming.
Wait…his vault!
Sun Jingan's pupils contracted, "Yes, it was you who... killed..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Ming covered his mouth with his hands. The dagger went around his neck from the back to the front, slowly cutting a wound, and blood gushed out.
Sun Jing'an's body twitched constantly, his eyes widened, and the gene inhibitor became tighter and tighter because of his struggle.
Sun Jing'an was not a Class B life form, but only a Class C life form, but he had strong vitality. It took him more than ten minutes to die completely after his throat was cut.
Li Ming wiped the dagger, opened the suitcase, absorbed the mother ore inside, then opened the door and walked out.
Zhang Huaiyuan was standing not far away. He quickly came over and looked towards the reception room behind him. He whispered, "Where's that old guy?"
"Dead." Li Ming said casually.
Zhang Huaiyuan stopped suddenly, "Dead, dead!?"
He swallowed, "Brother Li, you are not kidding, he..."
He stopped talking halfway, turned around and rushed to the reception room. Li Ming frowned: "Don't mess up the scene."
Zhang Huaiyuan opened the door, and the strong smell of blood choked him so much that he couldn't open his eyes. Sun Jing'an was lying on his back on the sofa, glaring with anger.
Really, really dead?
Zhang Huaiyuan's body was trembling. Even though he disliked this old guy, the idea of killing him had never occurred to him from beginning to end.
On the one hand, it is because the other party’s status is too high, and on the other hand, it is also because of years of education.
He staggered and almost fell to the ground, but he still closed the door and walked up to Li Ming with a pale face, "Li, Brother Li, what should we do about this?"
"Don't worry, I'll go notify others." Li Ming said casually.
Zhang Huaiyuan, however, seemed not to have heard anything, and gritted his teeth and said, "Well, let's say I killed him, it was me..."
Li Ming stared at him and laughed, "Can you handle such a big pot?"
"Okay, let's find a place to rest."
He left on his own. Some people greeted him on the road and he responded one by one.
He walked out of the lab and headed into the temporary command post. He took a quick look around, then found a familiar face and asked, "Who's in charge here today?"
"Several of them are here. They seem to be having a meeting upstairs."
After getting the answer, Li Ming went straight to the second floor and knocked on the door of the conference room.
"...It's been blocked for seven days..." Chen Jinglong frowned as he spoke, and Ren Cangsong's loud voice started shouting, "Who is it?"
"I...Li Ming."
"Li Ming?" Everyone looked at each other, Chen Jinglong nodded casually, and the door of the conference room popped open.
Li Ming walked in, his figure straight and tall. He looked around at everyone and before anyone else could speak, he said, "Well, I just killed someone and I might need to deal with something now."
His tone was calm, as if he had killed a fly.
The conference room fell silent. Ren Cangsong's expression was slightly tense. "What happened? Who did you kill?"
Li Ming uttered three words: "Sun Jing'an."
Duke Bai Ye suddenly stood up and asked in shock, "You killed Sun Jing'an?"
Ren Cangsong hesitated for a moment, as if trying to recall the name, and then his expression changed drastically. "Regional director of Xingchuang Company?"
But then he wondered, "When did you go out?"
"I didn't go out. He came to find me." Li Ming explained.
Chen Jinglong remained silent, but his brows were furrowed.
A few minutes later, the laboratory's reception room was sealed off.
Chen Jinglong, Ren Cangsong and Duke Bai Ye stood in a circle around Sun Jingan's body.
Ren Cangsong's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.
The regional director of Xingchuang Company was killed just like that?
Chen Jinglong glanced at Li Ming, but he wasn't too worried.
"A gene suppressor. A Class C lifeform died in such a miserable way." Duke Bai Ye looked at Li Ming with an ambiguous expression. "What's your excuse this time? Is he a spark? Or is he trying to assassinate you?"
"Reason?" Li Ming said as a matter of course: "I killed him according to the order of His Highness Ford. Is this a reason?"
Sangge, who had stayed out of the matter, couldn't help but frown and asked suspiciously, "Your Highness Ford?"
"Li Ming, please don't talk nonsense. Why would His Highness Ford give such an order?"
Li Ming shrugged, "Your Excellency can ask His Highness Ford to come here."
"Yes, it's me." Ford's voice appeared at the right time, his face filled with anger that was hard to conceal. He strode in and pointed at Sun Jing'an's body and cursed: "This bastard, how dare he sell weapons and ammunition to the Torch Organization."
"My father had long noticed something was amiss and secretly assigned Fu Zongchen to investigate. Who would have thought that Fu Zongchen would be assassinated so quietly?"
The anger in Ford's eyes almost turned into tangible flames. He looked up and around at everyone, finally landing on Li Ming. He pointed at Sun Jing'an's body and said with gritted teeth, "Now I can conclude that this person must have assassinated Fu Zongchen!"
ah?
Everyone present was confused at this moment.
I'm sorry for being late today. Normally it won't be later than one o'clock. I will inform you in advance if I need leave. Thank you all for your support.
