"I not only dare to hit your son, but if he continues to be annoying, I will kill him," Jiang Chen said, his expression dark. The people from the Liu Family were provoking him, which was akin to dancing on the edge of a knife. If they were intent on seeking death, how could Jiang Chen not fulfill their wishes?
"You think I gave you the courage? You wouldn't dare kill anyone. I know you are a martial arts master, but so what? This is Hong Kong Island, not some remote mountain forest. Do you really think you can kill someone and escape the law? I'm not easily scared; stop trying to intimidate me with threats of murder; it won't work," Han Baiying replied disdainfully, her tone brash.
"Dear in-laws, we are all friends here; perhaps you could say a little less," the father of the bride interjected. Although he was dissatisfied with the Liu Family, his daughter was already engaged to their son. No matter what, they were still in-laws. Seeing Han Baiying's aggressive tone and the deepening conflict between her and Jiang Chen, he felt compelled to intervene. The father of the bride, Li Daotian, recognized Jiang Chen's impressive abilities at such a young age and hoped to establish a deeper connection.
"Your son-in-law has been beaten up, and as his father-in-law, don't you think you should stand up for him? You want me to say less? Our Liu Family is a prestigious family on Hong Kong Island; when have we ever been treated like this?" Han Baiying continued her tirade.
"They're all young people with fiery tempers. I see that Jiyue isn't hurt; why don't we just let this go? Let's take a step back," Li Daotian suggested. Deep down, he had little regard for his son-in-law but wanted to maintain good relations with Jiang Chen.
"Ha! Taking a step back is fine, as long as he apologizes to my son," Han Baiying sneered. If it weren't for Jiang Chen's strength, even an apology from him wouldn't appease her; she believed she was already giving Jiang Chen enough face.
Li Daotian glanced at Jiang Chen. In his view, since Jiang Chen had indeed made a move, an apology would be appropriate.
"Jiang Chen, I am also from Domestic; my name is Li Daotian. Since we are family now, I call you nephew. Although Jiyue may have been rude, he is still my son-in-law. For the sake of your uncle, please apologize to Jiyue and let this matter rest," Li Daotian said politely and tactfully.
"Uncle Li, as for the Liu Family standing here now, I've already shown them enough respect. Otherwise, they should all be dead by now," Jiang Chen replied.
Li Daotian was taken aback and didn't know what to say.
"Jiang Chen, don't think that just because you have some skills you can threaten lives! Our Liu Family has already given you eight billion; how can you treat us like this?" Han Baiying shouted as she helped her son Liu Jiyue up.
Jiang Chen glanced at Han Baiying but remained silent. Instead, he scanned the crowd and gestured for Guo Weiqing to come forward.
Guo Weiqing felt anxious but stepped forward nonetheless.
"Miss Guo, how much did you distribute to me?" Jiang Chen asked.
Guo Weiqing understood his implication and quickly replied, "Mr. Jiang, since we agreed on an eighty-twenty split, I distributed four hundred eighty billion to you this time."
"And so what? They must have made more profit to give you more," Han Baiying argued. In her view, the eight billion given to Jiang Chen by the Liu Family was already astronomical; he should be satisfied.
"Liu Shao, what do you think?" Jiang Chen asked Liu Toukang with a half-smile.
"Uh, Mr. Jiang, my business skills can't compare to Miss Guo's; I haven't maximized profits and feel quite ashamed," Liu Toukang stammered but forced himself to lie through gritted teeth.
