33: Chapter 33: Revenge incarnate, a cloud of blood mist

Zhou Qifeng was pale with fear.

The man in red before him was named Wu Zheng, a top assassin of the Red Skull.

He had once seen Wu Zheng strike with his own eyes; a single palm could snap a giant tree in half. He was so strong that he hardly seemed human.

But who was this young man in casual clothes before him?

He had actually managed to shatter one of Wu Zheng's arms!

The entire conference room fell into a dead silence.

The man in red, Wu Zheng, clutched his bleeding shoulder, staring intently at Jiang Chen. He spoke, "Your Excellency, who exactly are you, and why do you want to make an enemy of our Red Skull? Do you have any idea what the consequences will be?"

Jiang Chen watched the man in red with interest, listening carefully to his threats.

After the other man finished speaking, Jiang Chen calmly said, "Are you done? Now it's my turn."

"First of all, I have no grudge against the Red Skull. The one I have a grudge against is the Chifeng Group."

"But now we have a grudge. Tomorrow will be the Red Skull's last day in Jinling; it will cease to exist after that."

Hearing these words from Jiang Chen, Wu Zheng sneered, "Your Excellency, you have quite a big mouth, daring to threaten to destroy the Red Skull. Do you know how terrifying the Red Skull is? I think you are playing with fire and burning yourself."

"Offend the Red Skull, and not only will you die, but your parents and relatives will all die too..."

Before the word "die" could leave his lips, Jiang Chen suddenly flashed in front of him, reached out, grabbed his neck, and snapped it with a crack.

"I no longer have parents."

Jiang Chen tossed Wu Zheng's corpse onto the ground as if it were trash.

His voice was cold and sorrowful.

Zhou Qifeng was trembling all over, staring at the man before him in terror.

The man said the Chifeng Group had a grudge against him?

Yet he couldn't for the life of him remember where he had offended this man.

"My friend, there must be some misunderstanding between us..."

Fearing that the man might have the wrong person, Zhou Qifeng quickly squeezed out a smile that looked worse than crying, trying to explain.

"Slap!"

Before he could react, something suddenly landed in front of him.

He looked closely.

It was actually an unconditional equity transfer agreement.

Jiang Chen stared coldly at Zhou Qifeng and said, "Sign it."

"I'll sign... I'll sign anything!"

Zhou Qifeng hurriedly picked up the agreement, took out a pen with trembling hands, signed it, and even bit his finger to leave a thumbprint.

After finishing, he held the agreement with both hands and presented it to Jiang Chen, saying nervously, "I've signed the equity agreement. From now on, Chifeng is yours. I can be your dog and help you manage the company; I only ask that you spare my dog's life."

Jiang Chen took the agreement, glanced at it, and looked satisfied.

Seeing Jiang Chen put the agreement away, Zhou Qifeng quickly said, "My friend, we have no grudge against each other, there's no need for killing. Besides, you need someone to help you manage the company..."

"Who said we have no grudge?"

Jiang Chen interrupted him with a half-smile.

Zhou Qifeng was stunned, "I don't even know you, friend, how could we have a grudge?"

"Zhou Qifeng, don't you remember the predecessor of the Chifeng Group?"

A bone-chilling voice rang out.

Zhou Qifeng's pupils constricted, and he stared intently at the young man before him.

The predecessor of the Chifeng Group was the Jiang Group!

Could this person be from the Jiang Family?

But the three brothers of the Jiang Family had all died on the battlefield!

Soon, Zhou Qifeng thought of someone and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He shuffled backward, "Could it be... could it be that you are Jiang Chen, that piece of trash from the Jiang Family who was in prison?"

He stared intently at the man before him; it really was Jiang Chen!

But the Jiang Chen before him was like a completely different person from the Jiang Chen of five years ago.

Although the features were similar, the person's aura and expression were completely different.

He hadn't recognized him immediately.

Jiang Chen's eyes were cold as he walked toward Zhou Qifeng step by step.

Zhou Qifeng's back slammed into the wall; there was nowhere left to retreat.

Jiang Chen stood before him, staring coldly, "Speak, who directed you to seize the assets of my Jiang Family? Tell me, and I will leave your corpse intact!"

"I... I cannot say..."

Zhou Qifeng's face was pale, his lips trembling violently.

"Crack!"

The sound of a bone breaking rang out.

Jiang Chen reached out and grabbed Zhou Qifeng's right shoulder, crushing it into pieces.

"Ah!"

Zhou Qifeng let out a shriek of pain.

He was terrified.

He had thought Jiang Chen was just a good-for-nothing wastrel, and even if he got out of prison, he wouldn't amount to anything, so he hadn't bothered with him.

He hadn't expected him to be so terrifying.

What on earth had he experienced in prison!

When did he start to Cultivate?

"I don't like to repeat myself."

Jiang Chen stared coldly at Zhou Qifeng and raised his hand again, gripping his other shoulder. "Answer me, who directed you?"

"I can't say..."

Zhou Qifeng's face was pale, and he shook his head desperately.

The next moment, Jiang Chen applied force again, crushing his other shoulder with a crack.

"Ah, ah!"

A shrill scream rang out again.

Zhou Qifeng fell to the ground, rolling around like a maggot, in agonizing pain.

Zhou Qifeng was going crazy.

The intense pain made him almost faint, but then he felt his chest sink as Jiang Chen's foot stepped on him.

He had a strong premonition.

As long as Jiang Chen pressed down, his chest would surely explode, and he would die.

"Jiang Chen... please let me go... I can give you all my money..."

Besides begging bitterly, Zhou Qifeng had no other choice.

Jiang Chen stood on Zhou Qifeng's chest, looking down at him from above, his voice cold, "You should know what I want and what I don't want. Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Zhou Qifeng's eyes were bloodshot and filled with terror. He said in a trembling voice, "If I reveal that person, not only will I not survive, but my family will all die too. I cannot say!"

Jiang Chen was surprised.

What kind of existence could make Zhou Qifeng so afraid?

Jiang Chen did not step on and crush Zhou Qifeng's chest directly. Instead, he released his foot and said calmly, "You don't have to tell me, but I have ways to make you talk. Also, let me tell you one more thing: the Zhang Family was destroyed by me, and you are the second."

Zhou Qifeng's pupils constricted upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected that the destruction of the Zhang Family was indeed Jiang Chen's doing.

The Zhang Family was, after all, one of the four great wealthy families of Jinling; to think they were destroyed just like that.

Was he planning to kill everyone who participated?

Soon, his expression changed again.

He saw Jiang Chen take out an iron box and retrieve a silver needle, its tip glinting with a terrifying light.

"You... what do you want to do?"

Zhou Qifeng's voice trembled.

Jiang Chen flicked the silver needle and said with a half-smile, "The acupoints of the human body are very mysterious. They can save lives, kill, and also make a person endure endless pain."

"No..."

Zhou Qifeng realized instantly and shook his head desperately.

However, Jiang Chen's movements were like lightning; he instantly stabbed seven or eight silver needles into his body.

An indescribable sensation arose within him, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his flesh and bones, causing Zhou Qifeng extreme pain.

"If you don't speak within three minutes, you will explode into a mist of blood. Think it over carefully."

Jiang Chen pulled over a chair and sat down, watching Zhou Qifeng, who was rolling on the ground, with interest.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Zhou Qifeng rolled on the ground, letting out heart-wrenching wails.

This kind of pain had already exceeded the limits of human endurance.

Zhou Qifeng didn't even last a minute. With bloodshot eyes, he roared, "His name is King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong... He was the one who ordered the Zhang Family to organize the banquet... to blow your parents up..."

"King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong?"

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes; he had never heard this name before.

Zhou Qifeng's body began to turn red. He stared fixedly at Jiang Chen, begging bitterly, "I've already told you... hurry and pull out these needles..."

"When did I promise to pull out the needles?"

A playful, cold sneer curled at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.

"You..."

Zhou Qifeng widened his bloodshot eyes, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

His body began to swell rapidly, like an inflated balloon, until it exploded with a boom, turning into a pool of blood mist.

Jiang Chen stood up from the chair and said coldly, "The third person is that King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong."
