Chapter 90: The Local Boss and the Invader (Part 2)

, let's toast to each other first."Saying that, both twins drank their glasses dry.Chen Tingwei felt very proud at this moment and looked at Wang Zheng with a triumphant gaze, saying, "Since the two b...Chapter 90: The Local Bully and the Crossing Dragon (Part II)

"What do you want" The lieutenant stared at Wang Zheng, pressing his gun forcefully against Wang Zheng's chest.

Wang Zheng smiled slightly, raised his hand to grasp the barrel of the gun, aimed it at his own heart. Despite the smile on his face, there was no trace of amusement in his eyes: "Go ahead and shoot here."

The lieutenant frowned, hesitating, unsure how to proceed.

"Not willing to take action If Zhang Hongqi were here, perhaps you would have a reason and courage to act. But let me ask you this, if you pull the trigger now, who will bear the consequences"

I believe that when Zhang Hongqi wakes up, he won't be willing to shoulder responsibility for you. A People's Armed Police soldier shooting a civilian—what do you think would be the severe repercussions of such an action

Wang Zheng squinted his eyes and continued: "If you pull the trigger, at best, you'll spend twenty years in prison. Are you willing to take that risk"

The lieutenant's hesitance increased; he moved the gun barrel back a few centimeters.

A cold glint flashed across Wang Zheng’s eyes as he continued: "From my perspective, Chinese soldiers are all comrades-in-arms. If it comes to it, I don't want to fight against my fellow soldiers. Give you ten seconds to move."

After speaking, Wang Zheng quietly observed the uncertain lieutenant while counting softly: “One, two, three...”

The sound of Wang Zheng's voice struck like a drumbeat on the lieutenant’s heart, forcing him into paralysis.

In truth, Zhang Hongqi wasn't here; without leadership present, he was the highest-ranking officer and had to make the decision.

Considering his opponent's superior martial arts skills—having incapacitated the team's fighting champion with a single move—if no action is taken, there’s no way Wang Zheng can be detained. But if he pulls the trigger, who will bear the consequences On the other hand, what would Zhang Hongqi do to him for not taking decisive action

Thinking of his captain's personality, the lieutenant felt conflicted.

But as a Chinese soldier, he understood the gravity of the situation.

Before Wang Zheng reached ten, the lieutenant’s gun drooped in defeat. Indeed, he lacked both reason and courage to pull the trigger.

The coldness in Wang Zheng's eyes softened slightly; he smiled and looked at the young lieutenant, saying:

"I used to be a soldier too, Lieutenant. Remember this: never point your gun at your comrade."

The lieutenant's expression was unpredictable, alternating between red and pale. No one knew what he was thinking.

Wang Zheng ignored the rest of the guns pointed at him, walked straight to his car with a cold face, and started the engine while carrying Shishi Upang, wanting to leave.

"The captain has been beaten up like this; we can't let him get away!" A short corporal suddenly shouted.

The lieutenant hurriedly called out, "Zhao Haiming, don’t do anything reckless!"

“What’s wrong with it” Zhao Haiming's eyes flashed a hint of ruthlessness. “The captain has been beaten up like that; are you going to hide and avoid responsibility Just make something up, and charge him whatever crime you want!”

The lieutenant was furious and shouted angrily, "Zhao Haiming, how can you say this You understand the consequences of firing at a civilian without authorization"

“None of my business. I only know that if the captain blames us later on, we’ll all be in trouble!”

"No!" The lieutenant shouted.

But it was too late; Corporal Zhao Haiming had already raised his gun and fired a shot quickly. The loud bang echoed through the sky!

The lieutenant’s eyes flashed with despair as he heard the gunshot.

However, after the shot rang out, no one saw the Mercedes-Maybach hit by a bullet. Instead, Zhao Haiming let out an odd scream and dropped his rifle like it was electrified. He then knelt on the ground, clutching at his right hand while convulsing in agony.

"Zhao Haiming, what are you doing" The lieutenant rushed over to where the corporal lay but found that his palm had been blown apart by a bullet, rendering it useless.

Meanwhile, Wang Zheng slipped his miniature pistol into his waistband and started the engine without saying another word.

No one dared to stop the Mercedes-Maybach now; there was a superhuman inside who could easily defeat a martial arts champion of the People's Armed Police. Who would dare to challenge such a freak

Moreover, anyone with clear eyesight could see that when Zhao Haiming raised his gun to fire in the first half-second, a barrel had appeared from the Mercedes-Maybach's driver’s seat and fired without aiming!

The lieutenant sighed as he looked at Zhao Haiming. The entire palm was blown apart, leaving it useless; at most, he could apply for a grade two disability pension upon discharge. But firing on civilians with no proof of wrongdoing was already fortunate to avoid military court-martial; how could he apply for grade two disability then Back in his hometown, all that awaited him would be to beg for food and wait to die.

Watching the Mercedes-Maybach vanish like a gust of wind, the lieutenant shook his head.

"Wang Zheng, I've never seen someone remain so tolerant when being pointed at with guns," Shishi Upang said worriedly as she frowned. The gunshot still left her uneasy, and she added, “But it’s good you didn’t give him a chance to fire.”

"However, I must say that the way you shot was really cool. If Han Xingye were here, she would probably be mesmerized by you." Indeed, it was quite shocking for Shishi to see Wang Zheng shoot a gun for the first time.

"I just tolerated Chinese People's Liberation Army soldiers more; police are also military personnel, and they used to be my comrades. But I wouldn’t give them any chance to shoot me. Rest assured about this."

"Of course, if they weren't military personnel and dared to point guns at me, according to my old nature, I would have already blown their heads off." Wang Zheng said coldly.

"But from the looks of it, Zhang Hongqi seems to be your enemy now. What if he causes trouble for you in the future He’s all-powerful in Jiangsu Province, and Jirong's business operations there might also suffer as a result." Shishi frowned again: "Moreover, he is the son of a provincial committee secretary; you probably can’t easily touch him."

"Who said I couldn't" A cold smile appeared on Wang Zheng’s lips. "If they provoke me, even the son of an American president would be no exception. Don’t worry; Zhang Hongqi won’t be getting off his bed for half a year. His sternum is broken and both lungs are injured, so it's not easy to recover from this."

At that moment, Shishi’s phone rang. After answering the call, she showed a look of joy.

"Wang Zheng, Liu Xiwei has been found; Wei Wentao has arranged for him to be secretly brought back from Britain." Shishi couldn't hide her happiness.

"Liu Xiwei is a key figure. He went missing and hid in Britain without making any sound, which means he must know something about the inside story. Did Wei Wentao get anything out of his mouth"

"No, he’s very stubborn. Wei Wentao isn’t good at this either; we can only wait for you to return as an expert."

"Alright then, let's hurry back; there’s no time to waste."

Wang Zheng’s gaze remained cold. The Mercedes-Maybach made a sudden drift and turned towards the capital city at full speed.

...

When Wang Zheng saw Liu Xiwei, this balding man in his fifties was sitting in Wei Wentao's office drinking tea. Though he looked somewhat dejected on his face, there wasn’t too much gloominess behind the thick glasses.

Wang Zheng and Shishi walked in together; Wei Wentao hurriedly greeted them and tried to speak with Shishi but saw her signal him off instead. Wei Wentao immediately said: "General Manager Wang, this is Liu Xiwei."

The meaning of Shishi was that everything would be handled by Wang Zheng since they weren't experienced in interrogating.

Wang Zheng nodded and told them both, “You two can go out now.”

Wei Wentao felt a bit uncomfortable with this but hesitated before looking at Shishi. When he saw that the actual boss didn’t say anything but just exchanged glances with Wang Zheng before leaving, Wei Wentao hurriedly followed.

Wang Zheng sat on the sofa opposite Liu Xiwei, with a smile on his face. He said, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Wang Zheng, the Senior Vice President of Jurong International, and I just started this position."

Liu Xiwei clearly didn't want to pay attention to Wang Zheng: "What's the purpose of bringing me back If it’s still about that question from earlier, then I don’t know the answer."

Wang Zheng chuckled. "Why did you leave Zhuoli Company"

Liu Xiwei curled his lips and said, "Why should I tell you"

Wang Zheng took a sip of water: "I really can't understand what benefits destroying JuRong would bring to you. I believe that the chip incident at Zhuoli Company must have been your doing; otherwise, why would you give up a high-paying job with a promising future and hide in England instead"

Liu Xiwei replied, "I just want to take care of my daughter’s schooling in Britain. There are no other reasons."

Wang Zheng shook his head, squinting his eyes as he said with a smile: "I can tell that you’re an honest person and also someone with high education and intelligence; however, such intellectuals often lack emotional quotient. In other words, when faced with a binary choice, they tend to make hasty decisions."

A flicker of light appeared in Liu Xiwei's eyes, slightly agitated: "I haven't! I have never made rash decisions!"

"If you didn’t act rashly, why did you betray your company without hesitation when someone offered you a deal"

Liu Xiwei was stunned for a moment before smiling and saying, "Looks like you’re just setting a trap for me to fall into. Don't worry, I won’t be easily fooled."

Wang Zheng’s fingers tapped rhythmically on the coffee table with a calm tone: "I believe that your actions are all due to your daughter."

Liu Xiwei's body trembled slightly, and his face twitched as he lifted his head and looked at Wang Zheng, his eyes radiating an unknown light.

"To be honest with you, before I took this job, I was a special forces soldier. I have extensive knowledge about interrogations, torture techniques, and micro-expressions." Wang Zheng interlocked his hands and stared intently at Liu Xiwei, smiling: "Of course, I can’t actually subject you to torture, but your micro-expressions cannot escape my observation."

Liu Xiwei was stunned again, showing a slight look of bewilderment.

"I spoke seven sentences just now, and you only responded to four. Two were attempts at forced concealment and pretense, one showed mild agitation, another indicated your inner shock."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiwei's face added a look of despondency.

"I am an expert in interrogation, but even more so in micro-expressions. I can tell you’re an honest person; would you like to share everything with me"aving dead bodies wherever he passed.
