"Let's talk it out!" Wen Qiang said in terror.
Everyone held their breath.
Li Ziling was incredulous.
Even the formidable Young Master Wen had backed down in front of Teacher Chen?
For a moment, Li Ziling clenched her fists in excitement.
This was her Chen Jie brother.
Not only did he love her, but he also held such a high status.
"I said, if you provoke me again, I'll take your life. This is your own doing!" Chen Jie moved as if to strike.
"Wait!"
Cold sweat dripped from Wen Qiang's forehead. "Clarify what you mean, when did I provoke you?"
Chen Jie paused.
Wen Qiang argued, "It wasn't me who provoked you, it was my subordinate!"
"I'm not my subordinate, and I told you from the start that I wanted to reconcile with you. What does this have to do with me? So you can teach my subordinate a lesson, but you can't lay a hand on me!"
Li Ziling was dumbfounded.
Could it be explained like this?
But for the eldest young master of the Wen family to say such a thing was beneath him.
"It's not because of your subordinate, but because you have designs on Li Ziling..."
As Chen Jie was about to make a move again, Wen Qiang quickly said, "Wait, what do you mean by that?"
"I didn't know about your relationship with Li Ziling earlier! And even if I did, we're both single, is it wrong for me to pursue her? Chen Jie, aren't you being too overbearing? What does my pursuit of a beautiful woman have to do with offending you? At most, I'll distance myself from Li Ziling from now on!"
Feeling wronged and furious!
Wen Qiang gritted his teeth as he spoke.
He, Wen Qiang, had never suffered such humiliation since he was a child.
But now, no matter how wronged he felt, he had to swallow his pride.
Because if anything went wrong, he could lose his life here.
Li Ziling and Azhu exchanged glances.
Had Wen Qiang, whom they had both been troubled by, given up on Li Ziling so easily in front of Chen Jie?
"From now on, don't bother Li Ziling again. Do you have a problem with that?"
Chen Jie thought that he might have been a bit excessive, as Wen Qiang hadn't actually used force.
But he showed no mercy to Wen Qiang.
"No," Wen Qiang gritted out.
"Good. Now get out! If I ever see you bothering Li Ziling again, you'll face certain death. Scram!"
Chen Jie said indifferently.
After all, this was Longmen's headquarters. If he were to do anything to Wen Qiang, it would put Li Ziling in a difficult position.
"Fine, I'm leaving!"
Wen Qiang, with a grim expression, ordered his subordinate, "Take these two useless guys away!"
The subordinate awkwardly left.
Wen Qiang also walked out.
At the elevator entrance, Wen Qiang suddenly turned back and pointed at Chen Jie, "Trash! You wait, I'll kill you soon, spit!"
He spat a mouthful of phlegm into the corridor.
After doing so, he quickly entered the elevator.
Chen Jie's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he was about to chase after him, but Li Ziling called out to him, "Teacher Chen, forget it."
"Alright, since you've said so, I'll spare his life."
However, although Chen Jie said this, he took out his phone and dialed Yingzi's number.
"You know what to do."
He hung up.
Since they had completely fallen out, Chen Jie certainly wouldn't wait for Wen Qiang to plot against him.
If Wen Qiang couldn't be dealt with within Longmen, he would let Yingzi handle it.
He didn't care what Wen Qiang's identity was; offending him meant only death.
Yingzi understood Chen Jie's intentions perfectly, as Yingzi had informed Chen Jie in advance when Wen Qiang appeared at Longmen and had asked Chen Jie if he wanted to kill him directly.
Chen Jie hadn't replied then, but now he had given a clear answer.
He knew it was inconvenient for Chen Jie to act within Longmen, so he would assassinate Wen Qiang as soon as he appeared.
As the top assassin of the Dark Shadow Sect, assassinating Wen Qiang was no problem for Yingzi.
Inside the elevator, the only subordinate who was not injured said angrily, "This Chen Jie is too arrogant. If we don't act this time, others will think our Wen family is a pushover, to be bullied at will!"
"Young Master Wen, why don't we contact the family head and have him take action?"
Just then, the elevator doors opened.
Wen Qiang rushed to the reception desk and asked, "Quick, take me through the back door!"
The subordinate following him stiffened. "Young Master Wen, what are you doing? Are you afraid Chen Jie will make a move on us?"
"Young Master Wen, you're the eldest young master of the Wen family. Even if Chen Jie had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare, right? In fact, I thought he was just trying to scare you!"
Some things were understood in their hearts even if not spoken.
This subordinate was indirectly telling Wen Qiang that he was being too cautious, while openly implying that Chen Jie was bluffing.
In short, he was calling Wen Qiang a coward.
Embarrassing.
Wen Qiang glanced at the man. "My identity is too noble, and safety must be guaranteed! You lowly folk, how can you compare to me?"
"How about this, you guys go out the front door, and I'll go out the back. We'll meet at the Wen family!"
"Alright, Young Master Wen, your safety is the most important thing. We'll go out the front door."
This subordinate outwardly appeared respectful, but inwardly he smirked.
He wondered what kind of fortune-telling this coward had done to become the eldest young master of the Wen family.
If it were him, he would have dealt with Chen Jie in a grand manner and then taken Li Ziling.
He parted ways with Wen Qiang.
Wen Qiang felt extremely aggrieved.
He knew that his actions might appear cowardly to outsiders.
This matter must not be spread today. If those subordinates didn't die, he would have to kill them himself.
Otherwise, his authority would be completely lost!
When Wen Qiang reached the back door, he had second thoughts and didn't leave immediately. Instead, he held his breath and hid behind the door.
"I think we should go with Young Master Wen. That assassin beside Chen Jie is very wild!" said Ah San, who was in a wheelchair, with worry.
"If you're scared, then go with Young Master Wen!"
"Go on, let Young Master Wen push your wheelchair. You've contributed to the Wen family and ended up like this. It's no problem for Young Master Wen to push you, right?" the man said sarcastically.
"That's not what I meant..."
"Then what do you mean? You're not in love with Young Master Wen, are you, you idiot!"
Ah San's face turned red, but he stopped speaking.
As the two of them reached the doorway, a black shadow flashed past.
Ah San immediately became agitated, "Don't, don't go out!"
"Coward! You're too damn timid! I'll definitely tell Young Master Wen about this afterward, you just wait! Damn it!"
The person Chen Jie had killed was his good friend, and now he was in a bad mood, so he spoke harshly to Ah San.
"Listen to me, don't go out, we'll die!"
"Hahaha... You pathetic loser, you're so scared! I'm truly ashamed of you! Don't worry, after Young Master Wen and I kill that Chen Jie, I'll hand you over to Chen Jie to deal with! And let Young Master Wen realize that he, like you, is a coward!"
The more Ah San struggled, the more the man pushed him outwards.
He even pushed Ah San to the very front.
Upon reaching the outside, he fiercely slapped Ah San on the head.
