"Do you not hear me when I speak? Am I not making myself clear?
Do you not know the strength of my family? So what if you beat him to death? This matter can be easily resolved!
I'm telling you, beat him to death or cripple him, and you will face no repercussions. On the contrary, whoever lays a hand on him will be rewarded with ten million, cash!"
Great rewards attract brave men. Ten million! How many years would it take to earn that much? Moreover, as Zhao Shuai said, their family's connections were undeniable!
Thus, the remaining bodyguards formed a circle and advanced towards Ling Tian.
At this moment, Ling Tian was utterly enraged. He could never have imagined that these people would do something so wicked for money!
And so, in that instant, Ling Tian went berserk.
As one bodyguard raised his electric baton, he felt a gust of wind flash before his eyes, followed by a fist smashing heavily onto his shoulder blade.
An immense force struck him, sending his body flying backward. The arm holding the electric baton dangled by his side at a severely twisted angle.
His body crashed heavily to the ground, and he spat blood uncontrollably.
Immediately after, screams echoed. The other bodyguards were also sent flying by Ling Tian.
It was true that these bodyguards were skilled, but it depended on who they were up against.
Even the Ling Tian who had just descended the mountain could have easily dealt with them, let alone the berserk, ultimate version of Ling Tian now.
A series of screams erupted in the courtyard. Within ten seconds, the only people left standing in the entire courtyard were Wang Bingxia, Ling Tian, and Zhao Shuai.
Zhao Shuai stared at the tragic scene before him, completely stunned.
His subordinates, who prided themselves on being elites, had all been defeated by Ling Tian. The injuries they sustained were not minor; it seemed likely they would be crippled.
After dealing with the men, Ling Tian rubbed his knuckles, which made a cracking sound.
A cruel smile spread across Ling Tian's face as he slowly approached Zhao Shuai.
"Alright, the nuisances have all been dealt with. Now it's time to settle our score!
Speak, Zhao Shuai, how do you want to die!"
"You... you... I... this is a misunderstanding..."
Zhao Shuai could feel the chilling killing intent emanating from Ling Tian, and he was truly starting to get scared.
He had initially thought that with so many capable bodyguards, he could do as he pleased, but now it seemed these bodyguards were unreliable!
"A misunderstanding? You set a trap and drugged my fiancée's drink. Did you think you were being clever?" Ling Tian sneered.
"You have no proof, you're slandering me. I merely invited classmate Wang Bingxia as a guest..."
"Heh, you probably don't know this, but Xu Zihui drugged Bingxia's drink. The entire process has been recorded.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Zihui has already been apprehended and confessed!
Don't think only your Zhao family has connections; our Wang family does too. We have irrefutable evidence, so you can expect to rot in jail!"
Ling Tian wasn't making these claims out of thin air; he had a solid basis for his words. This was because the two women who had feigned drunkenness and crashed into a car outside the restaurant were from Yan Yuge!
Ling Tian knew very well that he had offended many people: the Bai family, the Jin family, various unorthodox factions, and so on.
While these people couldn't do much to him directly, they could certainly target other members of the Wang family.
Especially Bingxia, who was Ling Tian's fiancée. Many people knew about this.
If someone wanted to deal with Ling Tian but couldn't defeat him, they might very well target Wang Bingxia.
Therefore, Ling Tian had asked Yan Yuge to dispatch a few individuals to track Wang Bingxia's movements around the clock.
The request wasn't for them to protect Wang Bingxia at all times, but rather to detect any danger around her in advance and alert Ling Tian promptly.
When Wang Bingxia went out for dinner today, the two women from Yan Yuge posed as diners and sat near the private room.
Xu Zihui came out to sober up and then dropped a pill into the sobering agent. He thought his action was undetectable, unaware that these two women had already recorded it.
The entire process, including Zhao Shuai later sending people to take Wang Bingxia away, was captured by the two women.
After leaving the restaurant, they pretended to be drunk and crashed their car. In that instant, a tracking device was attached to the car's body.
The two women from Yan Yuge quickly reported the incident to Ling Tian, allowing him to arrive in time to save Wang Bingxia.
"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer! I'm telling you, don't do anything reckless. I am the eldest grandson of the Zhao family..." Zhao Shuai said, backing away and trembling.
"So what if you're the eldest grandson? If I cripple you, will the Zhao family choose a useless person like you to inherit the family business!"
"You... you..." Ling Tian's words left Zhao Shuai speechless. He was unwilling to admit it, but he had to concede that what Ling Tian said was indeed the truth.
Just then, the roar of vehicle engines suddenly sounded from outside the courtyard. Immediately after, seven or eight cars sped into the courtyard, and over a dozen people in black suits emerged from them.
Two men in black suits approached a door of one of the cars and directly opened it.
As the door opened, a woman appeared from within.
The woman was wearing a fur coat, exuding an air of elegance and wealth. A pair of pink glasses on her head made her appear even more shrewd and capable.
Upon seeing the woman, Zhao Shuai ran towards her as if she were a savior.
"Mom!" Zhao Shuai's lips parted, and he almost cried out, his heart filled with grievances.
The woman who arrived was none other than Zhao Shuai's mother, Long Mingzhu.
This Long Mingzhu was the daughter of the Long family from the capital.
The Long family had been a prominent clan in the previous dynasty. After the change of dynasties, the Long family also declined.
However, Long Mingzhu was no ordinary person. She was capable and possessed an extraordinary keen sense for business.
The Longzhu Prosperity Investment Group, which she personally built and established, had assets in the hundreds of billions. It was not only a leading investment giant in Jiangshan City but also in the entire country.
Long Mingzhu had only one son, Zhao Shuai, and doted on him immensely. She had paid a great price to nurture him and pave the way for his future.
Long Mingzhu's villa was only a few dozen meters away from Zhao Shuai's villa. Someone at her place had already noticed the commotion at Zhao Shuai's villa and reported it to Long Mingzhu.
Knowing that something must have happened to her son, Long Mingzhu immediately brought people to the scene!
