Zhou Pingyong was truly seeking his own demise. Jiang Chen had initially refrained from dealing with him out of respect for his god-grandmother, but it seemed that some people simply needed a harsh lesson. If one did not firmly put them in their place, they would continue to prance around, becoming increasingly bothersome.
This time, Jiang Chen was not joking; he intended to make Zhou Pingyong wish he were dead. To be honest, he didn’t even need to lift a finger himself.
Zhou Pingyong had no idea how powerful his god-nephew was. He could provoke anyone, but he definitely should not have provoked this particular god-nephew.
Zhou Rongli glanced at her son, fully aware that he could back up his words with action and that he would certainly follow through. However, she chose not to say anything; Zhou Pingyong had brought this upon himself.
Zhou Pingyong's expression darkened as he glared at Jiang Chen.
"Well, you dare to threaten me? Fine! If it comes to that, we’ll both be ruined. Just wait; I’ll report you tomorrow. Don’t think that just because you know Yue Hui and some Underground Bosses, you’re invincible. I should mention that I know some big shots in the military too. One of them is coming to Hangcheng tomorrow, and I’ve already made an appointment to meet him. Once we meet, I’ll tell him all about you. Heh, once your dark identity is exposed to the light of day, you’ll have plenty to cry about," Zhou Pingyong said in a low voice. He didn’t doubt Jiang Chen’s methods or strength; in Hangcheng, if Jiang Chen wanted him dead, all he needed to do was speak to Hu Sanxiong or Yue Hui, and Zhou would be in trouble. Since they were tearing off the mask now, Zhou Pingyong felt he should strike first.
Jiang Chen subtly shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"You know military big shots? Do you really think I don’t?" Jiang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle. After all, he was also a figure in the military now, holding the rank of Major General. It seemed he should wear the military uniform Zeng Xianyi had given him today.
However, even if he wore it, it probably wouldn’t matter; Zhou Pingyong and his ilk would surely think Jiang Chen’s uniform was fake. They were so self-assured.
"What kind of person can be called a military big shot? Let me tell you, the one I know has been on the battlefield and is a veteran in the military. If he weren’t coming to Hangcheng tomorrow for an auction, I wouldn’t even have the chance to meet him. What does it matter if you know some regional military figure?" Zhou Pingyong frowned as he spoke.
He believed that Jiang Chen’s identity was shady and certainly not something that could withstand scrutiny. As long as he maintained his imposing demeanor, he could force Jiang Chen to bow down.
"Well then, Miss Yue has invited me to an auction tomorrow as well. I’m quite curious to see just how impressive your military big shot really is," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
Zhou Pingyong seemed to enjoy being slapped in the face by reality; Jiang Chen was more than willing to oblige him.
Seeing that Jiang Chen agreed without any concern at all made Zhou Pingyong somewhat suspicious. Could it be that this kid really had connections in the military?
He must be bluffing! After all the people he had killed, how could anyone in the military possibly be associated with him? If there were any connections at all, it would only be because they were unaware of this kid’s true nature.
"Don’t back out at the last minute tomorrow. If you have second thoughts and beg me for mercy, I might consider letting you off," Zhou Pingyong said coldly.
Jiang Chen merely smiled and remained silent, seemingly already anticipating what would unfold the next day.
Seeing Jiang Chen’s silence only reinforced Zhou Pingyong’s belief that Jiang Chen was feeling guilty.
