Li Jieqiong screamed again upon hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, shouting, "You might as well kill me, I don't want to live anymore!"
"Why would I kill you?" Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile. "I wouldn't gain anything from killing you."
"Besides, I, Cheng Xiaofan, am a very low-key country farmer. Things like fighting and killing are simply not suitable for me."
If not for the unbearable pain all over her body, Li Jieqiong would have been so angry she wanted to laugh.
You, Cheng Xiaofan, are very low-key?
So low-key that even Dege Lier surrenders at your feet?
Li Jieqiong gritted her teeth and asked, "Cheng Xiaofan, if you're sensible, you'd better let me go. We'll still be good friends in the future!"
"If you insist on resisting me, it won't benefit you!"
Cheng Xiaofan reached out and patted Li Jieqiong's face a few times, saying, "What a tough auntie you are. Alright, let's play it by ear and see who can laugh last!"
He glanced out the window; the sky was already bright.
He said to Li Lili, "Li Lili, I saw the beef dumplings stored in your refrigerator are quite good. I'm hungry, bring me a large bowl."
"Oh!" Li Lili looked bewildered.
The refrigerator was in the kitchen. How did he know there were beef dumplings inside?
She dared not disobey his orders and hurried to the kitchen.
Cheng Xiaofan gently patted Li Jieqiong's head, covering her with a wisp of spiritual energy.
He said, "To avoid ruining my dumpling-eating mood, I've temporarily used spiritual energy to control your pain. After I finish eating and leave here, you can slowly enjoy the taste of wanting to die!"
When Cheng Xiaofan withdrew his hand, Li Jieqiong suddenly felt her body relax. The bone-chilling pain immediately disappeared.
"How is it? Do you feel like you've been reborn?" Cheng Xiaofan asked.
Li Jieqiong gritted her teeth and said, "My greatest characteristic, Li Jieqiong, is my refusal to admit defeat. Cheng Xiaofan, I will not be defeated by you!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Honestly, that part of you is indeed good. I admire you, but I hope you can persevere!"
Not long after!
Li Lili came out, carrying a bowl of dumplings from the kitchen.
Seeing Li Jieqiong sitting on the sofa and no longer crying out in pain, she exclaimed in surprise, "Aunt, has Cheng Xiaofan already removed the bone-eradicating needles for you?"
Li Jieqiong shook her head and said, "No, he has only temporarily controlled my pain with spiritual energy. It will act up again later."
"Lili, I was in so much pain earlier that I'm exhausted and hungry. You go cook some more dumplings, and let's each have a bowl!" 138Reading.com
Li Lili said, "Aunt, I've cooked plenty of dumplings. I'll serve you a bowl right away."
When Li Lili brought another bowl of dumplings, Cheng Xiaofan had already finished his. He reached out and took that bowl of dumplings from her.
"Li Lili, these dumplings are cooked well, just to my taste. From now on, when I come to the capital, you'll just cook dumplings for me!" Cheng Xiaofan said in a composed manner.
"..." Li Lili was speechless at his words.
The next time you come here, you'll want to eat my dumplings?
Do you think my aunt's house is your inn!
She couldn't help but say, "Cheng Xiaofan, will you really come to my aunt's house again next time?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded with a serious expression, "Yes. By then, all of your aunt Li Jieqiong's assets will have been transferred to my name. Her public corporations, as well as her hidden underground banks, gambling dens, and so on, will still need her to manage them for me!"
"And you, Li Lili, you won't have the chance to scam people by using Dege Lier's name anymore. I advise you to use your intelligence and follow Li Jieqiong closely to work for me!"
Li Jieqiong's face turned ashen. "Cheng Xiaofan, you are truly thick-skinned. Listening to you, it sounds like I've already agreed to transfer all my assets to you."
"Go dream about it!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Li Jieqiong, believe it or not, you won't last two days before you're crying and begging me on your knees to accept all your assets!"
Li Jieqiong snorted and chuckled coldly, "Cheng Xiaofan, is my backbone that cheap?"
"Let me tell you, I'm the one who takes other people's property. No one can touch what's mine!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded. "The last few sentences you said seem to be speaking on my behalf. Good, then let's see the outcome!"
With that, he stood up and walked out.
"Ah!"
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan stepped outside, Li Jieqiong, who hadn't even had a bite of her dumplings, let out a piercing scream. "Oh heavens, I'm in so much pain, so much pain!"
"The poison from the bone-eradicating needles is acting up again, it's killing me!"
"Lili, Aunt doesn't want to die, quick, take me to the hospital!"
Li Lili quickly said, "Aunt, don't worry, I'll take you to the hospital right away!"
Li Jieqiong wailed in pain and cursed Cheng Xiaofan: "This damned Cheng Xiaofan, I will never let him have an easy death!"
"I'll make him understand that offending Li Jieqiong has dire consequences!"
...
After leaving Li Jieqiong's villa complex, Cheng Xiaofan immediately went into a dense patch of woods opposite and called Zhang Heng.
"Teacher, I've come to the capital today and would like to stop by your Martial World Affairs Bureau headquarters for a while!" Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile.
In fact, Zhang Heng had already received a call from Lu Shengming, saying that Cheng Xiaofan had arrived in the capital late last night.
Of course, he also knew the basic reasons why Cheng Xiaofan had come here.
Zhang Heng chuckled upon hearing this. "Xiaofan, you're in the capital? Where are you? I'll send a car to pick you up immediately!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Teacher, you don't need to send a car. Just send me the location, and I'll come over myself!"
Zhang Heng laughed heartily, "Alright, Xiaofan, tell me, should you come to my home or the headquarters?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and asked, "Where are you right now?"
Zhang Heng replied, "I've just arrived at the headquarters."
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Then I'll come to the headquarters!"
Zhang Heng said, "Okay, I'll hang up now and send you the location immediately!"
Ding!
Less than a minute later.
Cheng Xiaofan received the location sent by Zhang Heng.
He immediately closed his eyes slightly, transforming the location into a concrete map, and transmitted it to the Sky-Breaking Eagle through spiritual sense communication.
"Chirp—"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle flew down from the top of a tall tree.
Before the Sky-Breaking Eagle landed, Cheng Xiaofan leaped up and sat on its back.
Immediately!
The Sky-Breaking Eagle released an energy mass to conceal its form and, following the physical map provided by Cheng Xiaofan, slowly flew over.
This was within the capital area, so there was no need to fly too fast.
Even so, in the blink of an eye, the Sky-Breaking Eagle, carrying Cheng Xiaofan, had reached the airspace above the Martial World Affairs Bureau headquarters.
