"Self-defense? I don’t see any injuries on you, but these three look quite hurt."
With that thought, his eyes turned chillingly towards Xiao Yi, and his voice carried a sinister tone.
"That’s not necessarily true,"
Hearing his blatantly biased stance, aligning openly with the four opposing him, a cold smirk crossed Xiao Yi’s eyes—it seed he had indeed snagged a big fish.
Glancing casually at the approaching route of a distant road, watching a silver and black rcedes driving slowly towards them, he replied unaffectedly, "Self-defense doesn’t an I have to be hit first to defend myself. If I’m not mistaken about the concept, it refers to the appropriate counterasures taken when our personal, life, property, etc., are threatened, right?"
After finishing, without waiting for the man to respond, he continued directly, "Don’t think you can deceive . Although I am not very educated and lack cultural knowledge, I am still a student at Z University, and furthermore, my classmate is a top law student."
A student of Z University?
Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, the leader’s eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.
The status of Z University in G City is extraordinary, not just in G City but across all of Xuanwu Country, virtually holding a place as a spiritual leader.
However, this concern rely flickered through his mind. After his gaze briefly lingered on Xiao Yi and the person he pointed at, Wang Qingqing, it vanished instantly—what trouble could such green youngsters cause? His tone turned colder as he stared sharply at Xiao Yi, "Kid, are you trying to use Z University to pressure ? You think just because you’re a student there, you can afford to be above the law?"
Wang Qingqing was also visibly emotional beside him. Raised with her father’s good teachings, she had always unwaveringly embraced fairness and justice as her only creed, opting for a major in law to uphold these beliefs in the future.
She firmly believed the world was fair, just, bright, and pure, but that didn’t an she was one of those fanatical ’believers’ who, devoid of principles and reason, blindly accepted these ideals, ignoring all related issues.
Her eyes always saw, always heard; she would read the newspaper accounts of darkness, listen, and accept the not-so-pleasant realities. However, she chose to believe that all this was not the norm, but a tiny minority.
But over the years, the increasing reports and her recent personal experiences had made her sowhat disillusioned.
At that mont, hearing Xiao Yi speak, it felt as if soone had voiced a deep, unasked question from within her, igniting her entire being, as if she herself were questioning the other, and her blood boiled with fervor...
"You..."
The man had not anticipated Xiao Yi’s reaction to be so intense, nor his reasoning so sharp, his words so cutting. Seeing the unusual looks from those around him, which he had never faced before, his face montarily flushed between pale and green as he pointed at Xiao Yi, speechlessly furious.
Amidst the ongoing standoff, a resounding voice erged.
Upon hearing this powerful voice, nearly everyone at the scene montarily paused, curiously wondering who dared to speak so boldly at this mont.
In the brief mont of distraction among the crowd, a tall figure briskly strode from the side into the scene, standing beside Xiao Yi, his eyes fiercely and indescribably glowering at Elder Zhang across him, showing no hint of fear.
"Director Chen?"
Seeing the man suddenly entering the scene, Elder Zhang hadn’t yet reacted, while Director Li beside him had already froze, his mouth unwittingly gaping as he exclaid.
Having dealings with Jianguo Group and being familiar with Chen Jianguo was not new for him; over the years, leveraging his brother’s connections, he had managed several small projects from Jianguo Group. Of course, with his status, it was impossible for him to deal directly with Chen Jianguo—the small projects he undertook did not require Chen Jianguo’s direct approval and were handled by the subordinate leaders of Jianguo Group.
Yet this did not diminish his familiarity with Chen Jianguo, a prominent figure in the business community of G City.
"Director... Director Chen..."
Director Li’s words seed to awaken Elder Zhang, who finally recognized the identity of the man before him. While Chen Jianguo was not a big celebrity, his usual low-profile deanor, apart from a few irrefutable authoritative financial channel broadcasts and main dia programs with impact, ant he hardly ever accepted interviews or used charity for self-promotion.
