The CEO's wife, suffering from terminal cancer, is filled with regret!

The dozens of people present fell silent. Whether they were on the same side or the enemy, everyone looked at me with shock.

Even Song Qingqing looked at me with surprise; she never expected that I, who was usually so gentle and gentlemanly, would act like this.

Liu Datong was stunned for a while, but after all, he had been through the wringer in his youth, so he quickly regained his composure and then let out a cold laugh.

"Ji Nanchen, are you trying to scare me?"

"You're not that old, yet you want to try and show off your heroism and toughness with me?"

As he spoke, Liu Datong confidently straightened his back, "Have you been watching too many movies? This is a society governed by law. You think you can slit my throat? You don't want to live anymore?"

I remained unfazed by Liu Datong's verbal threats.

"You dare to instigate your men to smash property and injure people, so why wouldn't I dare to slit your throat?"

"Or, Mr. Liu could give it a try."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp edge of the shovel pressed against Liu Datong's throat, and the icy touch made Liu Datong's expression change instantly.

He stared intently at me, trying to find some weakness, but in my eyes, I could only see resolute indifference, not even a hint of anger.

I calmly made him feel suffocated.

"Ji Nanchen, I underestimated you."

A moment later, Liu Datong spoke again, but his tone was no longer as arrogant as before.

"What do you want? Draw a line."

"Take your men and get out of here!"

I spoke in a cold, deep voice, and the sudden surge of my sharp aura stunned the entire room.

Liu Datong was naturally unwilling to leave in such a humiliating manner. He immediately said, "Ji Nanchen, I admit I've been humiliated this time, but you'd better leave Pingteng Building and the old city of Shinan, otherwise our feud will be over."

But I felt no fear whatsoever in the face of Liu Datong's threats.

"If you want to play, I'll play with you, but let me make this clear: before you lay a hand on me again, you'd better think it through."

"Otherwise, how many lives do you have to play with me?"

At this moment, I no longer appeared refined and gentle; instead, I was filled with a kind of madness.

My words caused Liu Datong's pupils to shrink slightly. He wanted to say something more, but in the end, he just let out a cold snort and quickly left down the stairs with his men.

The departure of the other party brought peace back to the fifth floor, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Qi stepped forward, looking somewhat shaken. "President Ji, you're a man of few words. I, Old Yang, am truly convinced this time."

To this, I shook my head and said, "Everyone, keep going. If Liu Datong is unhappy about anything, he'll only vent it on me. He won't come looking for trouble anytime soon."

After saying that, I left with Song Qingqing and Li Changping.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, I happened to see Liu Datong and his men leaving in their cars one by one.

Watching the convoy drive away, I squinted and remained silent.

Li Changping, however, acted as if he had met an idol, his eyes filled with fervent admiration.

His feelings are peculiar right now, and the more he gets to know me, the more complicated his feelings become.

"Brother Ji, you're awesome!"

Unfortunately, Changping lacked education and could only get by with the phrase "NB".

I waved my hand helplessly at his praise, "Stop arguing, go and bring the car over."

"Got it!"

Li Changping nodded and ran off to get the car, while Song Qingqing and I stood at the door waiting.

"Qingqing, what's wrong?"

Noticing that Song Qingqing's mood was off, I sent Li Changping away and then asked her questions with concern.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingqing shook her head, then turned to look at me with a somewhat unfamiliar gaze. "Nan Chen, I have never seen you like that before."

"Were you scared by me?"

I jokingly replied, "Actually, I didn't want to either, but it's all about treating people differently based on their status. Twenty years ago, people like Liu Datong were completely unrestrained by the law, and his wealth was all earned through violence. Showing weakness to people like them would only reinforce their disregard for the law."

"Moreover, you can't protect your rights through legal means with these kinds of scoundrels. If you want to scare them, you have to fight them head-on."

“The Shinan District is not like our Shibei District, especially in this old city area. There are too many people like Liu Datong. Haven’t you noticed that Changping’s personality also has a fierce side?”

"Including the renovation boss Yang Qi, has his attitude towards me changed significantly compared to before?"

"If I had to summarize it, I would say that the residents of the old city of Shinan are inherently martial, or rather, they admire the strong."

"Therefore, the way I just solved the problem is the only effective way."

Despite my perfectly reasonable explanation, Song Qingqing remained unenthusiastic.

"But I'm afraid that if you do that, you'll face many life-threatening dangers in the future."

"When you're out in the business, there are always a lot of unknowns. Delivering food carries the risk of being hit by a car, and restaurant kitchens also carry the risk of burns and scalds."

I spoke slowly, my words carrying a heavy weight.

"In short, some things are unavoidable. Since I have chosen to develop in Shinan District, these are things I will have to face sooner or later."

Just then, Li Changping drove up. I squeezed Song Qingqing's hand and then helped her into the car.

Back at the headquarters of Fengyun Construction Company, Liu Datong stood in his office and smashed things to vent his frustration.

He had been around for many years and hadn't been threatened or intimidated like this in a long time. Moreover, the other party wasn't a well-known local boss, but just an unknown nobody from another district, and a young man at that!

Amidst his anger, Liu Datong was also somewhat terrified.

When the shovel was pressed against his throat, he really felt a chill running down his spine. His years of experience in the underworld told him that if he had shown even the slightest bit of ferocity, the artery in his neck might have been severed.

"Just who is this Ji Nanchen?"

Liu Datong frowned and pondered, then summoned his trusted confidant.

"Go to the north of the city and investigate Ji Nanchen. It's been many years since we've encountered such a reckless madman."

...

That night, Li Changping saw the servants off and returned home.

He was in a state of high excitement all day. When he got home, Xu Mei was also surprised to see her son's expression. "What happened today?"

"Mom, someone went to the company and caused trouble today!"

Li Changping's first words immediately changed Xu Mei's expression: "Causing trouble? Were you and Nan Chen injured?"

"No, no," Li Changping hurriedly said, then recounted what had happened, before exclaiming to himself, "Brother Ji is amazing."

"Actually, Brother Ji is not much older than me, but compared to him, I am far inferior in terms of handling affairs, problem-solving methods, mindset, and vision."

"Mom, it's really God's blessing that I was able to come to Brother Ji's side. I can learn a lot from him."
