Chapter 3 - The failed ambush

****First city's hotel

"We've arrived. The people from Su's corporation will be waiting", assistant Su said while scanning his environment

"Okay, stay at alert First city's hotel"

In the private lounge, the atmosphere was tensed. None of the parties wanted to compromise

Li jingze sat in a sofa at the middle of the room and was surrounded by fierce looking bodyguards with a greasy fat middle aged man who seems to be calling the shots.

"Ha!, the almighty jingze have fallen into my hands"

"I have my men surrounding the place, you can't escape "

"You wish", Li Jingze said calmly exuding an air of superiority.

Feeling a bit intimidated, Mr Su tried to match up with his aura but couldn't.

Adjusting his cufflinks, he looked at Mr Su with his gaze fixed at him so intently

"Who's behind you?"

Mr Su's pupils slightly dilated before he regained control which of course did not slip past the sharp eyes of Li Jingze.

"Hmph you think I can't do this on my own...listen to me, you have made some many enemies", he snorted.

" You are not capable", Li Jingze sneered.

Suddenly a figure flashed by and appeared beside Li Jingze.

"Master, all the opposing parties have been killed"

Feeling a bad premonition in his heart, Mr Su called the leader of the mercenary group he hired but nobody was picking up.

"Ahh, Mr Su you know the saying that pride goes before a fall", Li Jingze said with his tone full of mockery.

Checking his time, he signaled at assistant Su

"Well, Su's corporation is about to declare their bankruptcy"

Feeling weak on the knees, he fell to the ground kowtowing so heavily that he started bleeding

"Please... Mr no Master Li forgive me "

Li Jingze's lips curled upwards

"The only way I can forgive you is if you tell me who's behind you"

"This - this matter I can't really", ay Mr Su stuttered with fear visible in his eyes as snot kept running down his face mixing with his tears

Disgusted, Li Jingze prepared to leave giving assistant Su a signal

Seeing the interaction between Li and his subordinate, he hesitated..... after all to survive he needed to get past this cold demon

With this thought, he gritted his teeth

"Wait, I will tell you"

"The person behind me is the ..."

Suddenly he grabbed his neck, as if someone was choking him, his eyes bulging out of their sockets and his veins along his neck turning purple

Realizing something, Li Jingze immediately shouted, "he has been poisoned, quick save him"

Before anything could be done, he was already dead

Li Jingze's face darkened visibly.

"This matter is definitely not simple"

Brrr brrr brrr brrr

The atmosphere dropped a few degrees as everyone held their breath pitying the person whose phone was ringing

"Master, your phone....the doctor is calling"

"Hello...."

"Speak", he said in a cold voice that made the person on the receiver end shudder.

"Well, your wife is insisting on getting discharged"

Hearing his wife's name, his expression couldn't help but soften up.

"Alright. Got it. I'm on my way"

"Clean this up"

"Yes master"

*******In the hospital ward

"But why can't I get discharged", Shen Ranran whined

"Madam you can't, your injuries still need to heal", the young intern was dressed at this point

"But I will recuperate better at home and I don't really like the smell of hospitals"

"Then you will have to adapt", Li Jingze said while walking in.

The young intern patted the invisible dust off his scrub.

Obviously relieved that he doesn't have to deal with her no more

"Mr Li , thank goodness she has been insisting for a discharge"

"Since she had the guts to slit her wrists, she must be prepared to stay in the hospital

Recalling the incident, she felt very embarrassed. In her past life she had caused Li Jingze to lose face.

"But husband....",she said coquettishly giving it her all

The man visibly stiffened upon hearing the title

Seeing that it was working, she decided to press further

"Husband, we will be having a banquet tonight and if I don't show up, people will use it against you which will tarnish your reputation"

The man lips curled up wanting to see what she's up to

Ignoring his expression, she pouted her lips

"We need an outfit"

" Alright then, Let's go to Xiang mall'
