Ye Huan nced coldly at Su Zhiqiang and calmly asked, "Is this the apology you mentioned?"


    "Ye Huan, don''t me me; me yourself for provoking a force you can''t handle."


    "Time and again you opposed Brother Zhen and even dared to threaten my sister and Big Boss Ye Qiqing. You''re really tired of living."


    "I''m just using a little ploy to bring Brother Zhen here to teach you a lesson, you oblivious fool."


    Su Zhiqiang spoke without expression, his words filled with coldness.


    "The phone call where you practically begged to apologize was just to trick me into giving away my location so you could bring Nan Zhen over here?" Ye Huan couldn''t help but let out augh.


    "Exactly. But let me tell you, apologizing to you over the phone wasn''t my true intent at all."


    "I used to hate Zhang Ruya, but after spending a short time in Capital City, I no longer hate her and understand her ways of climbing up."


    "Because I deeply experienced what it feels like to be endlessly satisfied by money and power."


    "With power, you can do whatever you want; with money, you can buy anything you want; having both allows you to trample many people beneath your feet, bing a presence they admire, one they dare not offend."


    "As long as I can curry favor with those more powerful and richer, I don''t care if I''m considered a turncoat; I don''t care about morals and integrity."


    Su Zhiqiang spoke without expression, his tone t.


    "Not bad, quite self-aware."


    Nan Zhen removed his sunsses,plimenting Su Zhiqiang as he leisurely walked over to face Ye Huan directly, sat down, and crossed his legs.


    He took out a pack of cigarettes and held one between his lips.


    Understanding the gesture, Su Zhiqiang took out a lighter, shielding the wind with one hand as he "clicked" it to light the cigarette in Nan Zhen''s mouth.


    "Hoo—"


    A circle of smoke was exhaled.


    Nan Zhen looked straight at Ye Huan, his mouth curled up, teasingly saying, "Ye Huan, you''re quite clever, huh? Did youe back to your base on purpose, knowing I was going to take revenge on you?"


    Ye Huan spread his hands and said, "Since you''re so determined to die, I don''t mind helping you. Why go through so much trouble? You could''ve just called me, and I''d send you my location for you toe here and get yourself killed."


    "Haha."


    "You really have a sharp tongue."


    "You''re acting all high and mighty now, but I wonder how long you can keep it up."


    Nan Zhen sneered mockingly.


    "p. p. p."


    He pped his hands a few times rhythmically.


    "Wow—"


    The doors of five vans opened simultaneously.


    Fifty men dressed in ck vests and ck capri pants, with bodies full of visually powerful muscles, stepped out of the vehicles.


    They stood with their hands in their pockets behind Nan Zhen, which was right in front of Ye Huan.


    Nan Zhen exhaled a thick puff of smoke, his eyes full of contempt, and mockingly asked:


    "Kid, still daring to act tough?"


    "Still daring to talk big in front of me?"


    "Come on, show me how tough you can be."


    His words were full of mockery.


    After speaking, he was a bit surprised.


    A normal person would have been scared out of their wits at this scene.


    Howe Ye Huan wasn''t reacting, and his expression hadn''t changed?


    Was he scared stiff?


    Yes, he must have been scared stiff.


    Nan Zhen''s face showed even more mockery.


    "How do you want to die?" Ye Huan suddenly said, freezing the smile on Nan Zhen''s face.


    This kid, his mouth is really tough.


    With such a tough mouth and so much confidence, is it because of the Liu Family backing him?


    Realizing this, Nan Zhen sneered, "Ye Huan, you''re like a country bumpkin who hasn''t seen the world. Do you think the Liu Family backing you is formidable? Let me tell you, the Liu Family is mighty in Celestial Sea, but in front of the Nan Family and me, Nan Zhen, they are nothing. If the Liu Family decides to protect you, I won''t mind taking them out too."


    His tone was full of disdain, as if taking out the Liu Family was as simple as lifting a finger.


    Finishing his sentence, he stubbed out his cigarette and tossed it carelessly on the ground, his eyes shing a hint of malice.


    "Let me tell you, I''m here to settle the score today."


    "First, you humiliated me in front of tens of millions at Lilith''s concert."


    "Second, you forced me to write an apology and pay three billion at Ye''s Clubhouse."


    "Third, you ckmailed Ye Qiqing into giving you a ck card membership by revealing the ''shield'' incident."


    "Ye Huan, you''re truly unafraid of death, daring to offend both me, Nan Zhen, and my big sister boss—Ye Qiqing."


    "Do you even know who Ye Qiqing is... never mind, you probably wouldn''t understand, you country bumpkin."


    "I can only tell you, she''s a big boss among big bosses, and she''ll being overter to teach you a lesson."


    "Today, if you write a ten-thousand-word apology and return all the money you took from me, I might just beat you up, cripple your limbs as a lesson, to show you who you can and can''t offend!"


    "I don''t know how Ye Qiqing ns to punish you, but I might plead on your behalf."


    "Of course, if you don''t write the apology or refuse to return the money..."


    Nan Zhen nced at the river by the store, with an icy smile, "I wouldn''t mind scattering your ashes in the Huangpu River!"


    Having said that, he pped his hands again.


    "Crack... crack..."


    The muscle-bound men cracked their knuckles, making intense bone-cracking sounds, with murderous glints in their eyes.


    Nan Zhen ced both feet on the table, exuding an air of extreme arrogance.


    He didn''t even bother to look Ye Huan straight in the eye.


    The people behind him were boxing champions and top-tier fighters, each with physical prowess on par with special forces.


    If Ye Huan acted out of line, these guys could instantly beat him into submission, leaving him powerless to call for help.


    "Hey, what are you guys doing!"


    "Don''t start a fight here!"


    "My readers areing for a kidney supplementter!"


    At this moment.


    The food stall owner frowned and came over, yelling at them.


    "If it''s broken, I''ll pay for it. I''ve got plenty of money..."


    Nan Zhen was cut off mid-sentence.


    He recognized the owner!


    "Damn, it''s you, Sweet and Sour Carp!"


    "You barely update daily, I''ve wanted to kill you for a long time!"


    "Get him! Beat him to death!"


    Nan Zhen cursed out.


    The owner turned pale with fear, "What do you... what do you want to do..."


    The next second, a muscr man answered him with action!


    "Bang!"


    A muscr man threw a punch, sending the owner flying fifty meters, spitting blood incessantly.


    Then, a group of brawny men rushed up to him, pummeling him with kicks and punches.


    The owner''s scream, like a pig being ughtered, echoed to the sky.


    Nan Zhen leisurely smoked, his eyes ncing sideways at Ye Huan, seeing no change in expression, found immense satisfaction.


    This kid, he probably got scared stiff seeing the owner''s tragic end.


    Good, let him see the might of the muscle men in advance.


    Soon he''ll be on his knees, calling him dad, begging for mercy.


    About a minuteter.


    Nan Zhen waved his hand and said:


    "That''s enough, don''t kill him."


    "I still want to read what he writes."


    "If his updates still drag on like before, I''ll kill himter."


    With that said.


    He got up, shook his head a few times, and mocking looked at Ye Huan: "So, are you going to do what I said, or should I toss your ashes?"
