"How is he doing?" Chen Jie asked Fang Shaohua.
"How is what? Are you talking to me?" Zhang Sifeng was startled and asked in surprise.
"Quick, let me finish him! Lure over the other experts, and we'll deal with them one by one!" Fang Shaohua excitedly transmitted his thoughts to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie nodded: "Your suggestion is excellent, I accept!"
"You accept? That's great, hehe, don't worry, I'm a man of my word, I..."
Whoosh!
What Zhang Sifeng didn't realize was that although Chen Jie had lowered his hand, the bronze sword had not yet fallen. Instead, it chopped directly towards Zhang Sifeng's neck.
Instantly, Zhang Sifeng felt a prickling sensation on his back. He turned his head and his eyes widened in terror.
"How, how is this possible!"
Zhang Sifeng let out a strange cry: "This sword has a mind of its own?"
With that said, he turned and ran.
The bronze sword missed its target.
Fang Shaohua kept shouting at Chen Jie: "Quick! Chase him! Don't let him escape! Otherwise, we won't be able to lure out a large number of experts from the Shadow Sect!"
However, Chen Jie remained standing still.
Seeing this, the fleeing Zhang Sifeng turned back and said to Chen Jie: "Since you refuse to cooperate with me, I will report truthfully to my superiors. At that time, you will face utter destruction! You brought this upon yourself, humph! You ungrateful fool!"
At this moment, Chen Jie formed a hand seal.
With a hum, the bronze sword shot towards Zhang Sifeng.
"What? Sword Control Technique? This... impossible!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Sifeng could no longer utter any threats and fled madly.
But his speed was fast, and Chen Jie's sword was even faster. With a whoosh, it caught up to Zhang Sifeng in the blink of an eye.
Pfft!
With a dull thud, the bronze sword pierced directly into Zhang Sifeng's body.
"No, impossible, I'm actually dead..." Zhang Sifeng murmured.
He couldn't believe that after living a life of ease, he would die in the provincial capital in his twilight years.
Chen Jie walked up to him, pulled out the sword, and put it back into his storage ring.
He sent a message to Tong Hao and left directly.
Zhang Sifeng wanted Chen Jie's life, so it was only natural for Chen Jie to take his.
Afterward, Chen Jie went to the dance school.
On the way back, Chen Jie couldn't help but frown. If Li Ziling encountered danger during his absence, there would be no one to protect her.
This gave Chen Jie a headache.
During this month, if Chen Jie wanted to do anything, he might have to bring Li Ziling along.
But he couldn't let Li Ziling know his identity.
Because they had drunk alcohol, Li Ziling and the other dance students were well-behaved. They spent most of the afternoon playing and practicing. Chen Jie didn't bother with them; his only task was to protect Li Ziling, and he had no intention of interfering with their studies.
...
At the headquarters of Shengshi Entertainment Company, Sheng Jinsong's face was contorted with rage.
He smashed a bottle of expensive white wine, roaring, "Where did that brat come from to dare ruin our good deed!"
He had been confident that he could sell the company to He Yufei for eight billion yuan.
However, due to Chen Jie's meddling, their negotiations had been terminated.
Even He Yufei had lost all interest in them.
He blamed Chen Jie for everything.
The executives didn't dare to utter a sound, and the assistants remained silent.
"We shouldn't have invited such a loser to dine with us! Eating with him makes me want to throw up!"
Sheng Jinsong looked at He Yufei's face and said tenderly, "Xiao Feng, don't worry, I will never let this trash off for ruining my plans! I'll let you get revenge for the slap you received, and you can slap him until he's had enough!"
Guo Xiaofeng alone accounted for half of their company's market value.
She was the face of Shengshi Company.
Chen Jie's slap was almost like a slap in the face of their company!
How could he let Chen Jie go?
"Mr. Sheng, how do you plan to deal with Chen Jie?" Guo Xiaofeng asked.
"Isn't it easy to get rid of him? Just find a few people, right? A human life is only a few hundred thousand yuan," Sheng Jinsong said casually.
"That might not work, Mr. Sheng, that Chen Jie is no ordinary person!"
Guo Xiaofeng was shocked and quickly said.
She then recounted how her bodyguards had been dealt with by Chen Jie and how Liu Shaolong's attempt to intervene had failed.
"What? Even Liu Shaolong, who operates in the underworld, doesn't want to provoke him?" Sheng Jinsong was shocked. Only then did he realize that Chen Jie was more than just a country bumpkin.
"Mr. Sheng, I have a plan!"
Guo Xiaofeng said, "I've already posted about being slapped online, and many fans are asking about Chen Jie's identity!"
"Chen Jie is a teacher at the Celebrity Dance School. Tomorrow, we will hold a free song and dance event at the Celebrity Dance School, where I will publicly announce Chen Jie's identity. He'll never have peace for the rest of his life! The spittle from my fans will drown him!"
Guo Xiaofeng said with great confidence.
"That could work. However, Xiao Feng, you are the face of our company. Such blatant retaliation will damage your public image. If it's exploited by malicious parties, it could have a negative impact on our company!" Sheng Jinsong said worriedly.
"Mr. Sheng, that's why I chose the Celebrity Dance School as the venue for the song and dance event!"
"I won't personally confront Chen Jie. I will publicly apologize to Chen Jie!"
Guo Xiaofeng's words made Sheng Jinsong's eyes light up.
Guo Xiaofeng continued with a cold laugh: "I am the 'national wife,' and some self-indulgent fans treat me as their real wife. If I publicly apologize to Chen Jie and offend him, and then emphasize the color of the slap on my face, it will create the image of an arrogant rich second generation for that guy."
"Poor people nowadays resent the rich! If they know a rich second generation slapped their wife, won't they all explode? From now on, whenever Chen Jie walks down the street, he'll be harassed!"
With Guo Xiaofeng's reminder, Sheng Jinsong's thoughts gradually became clearer.
"Xiao Feng, what you said makes a lot of sense. This not only smears Chen Jie but also brings a positive image to our company."
"We can also use this incident to promote our company. Once our company becomes popular, its market value will rise again. At that time, let alone eight billion, we can sell it for ten billion!"
"Then let's do it. We'll invite dozens of media outlets tomorrow for a live broadcast and promotion!"
Thinking of He Yufei's incredibly cold and elegant demeanor, Sheng Jinsong's eyes gleamed with desire. "Bitch, thirty billion, right? When you kneel down and lick me, I'll even consider eight billion!"
"Go, contact the person in charge of the Celebrity School and tell them about our plan!"
The person who received the Shengshi Company was Ji Afei.
Ji Afei didn't know they were targeting Chen Jie at first, but when the project manager from Shengshi Company mentioned Chen Jie, he quickly realized that they were targeting Chen Jie.
This made Ji Afei extremely excited.
