Life

Da Shang Kingdom.

Guangzhou City.

At this moment, Ling Zhi, who had just finished school, was drinking milk tea at a milk tea shop on the street.

Without any makeup, she exuded a pure and lovely aura, attracting glances from the customers in the shop from time to time.

"Vroom!"

Just then, the roar of an engine exploded on the street.

Immediately afterward, a streamlined yellow sports car sped past, heading straight for a high-end villa complex a few hundred meters away in a quiet area.

"Beautiful! Golden Flash Phantom! Only 22 were sold nationwide, with a landed price of over 6 million. It's a huge sum of money that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime. I didn't expect Guangzhou City to have such a luxury car."

A customer who knew about luxury cars couldn't help but boast.

"It's Jin Haoxuan's car, the young master of the Jin Corporation! But it's not his only luxury car. It is said that the Jin family has no less than 10 luxury cars worth over 5 million alone."

Another person at their table said with envy.

"Cars are nothing? Real estate is the key! We ordinary people work hard all our lives to save one or two million, just to barely buy a house. Do you know how many properties the Jin family owns? I'll tell you! No less than 1,000! Only more, not less! Not to mention those storefronts and shops."

Someone chimed in, his tone filled with deep jealousy and unwillingness.

"The Jin Corporation has tens of billions, do you think it's a joke? Having money is nothing, the key is that they also have power and influence. Looking at Guangzhou, there is nothing they can't handle."

Another young man pointed out, "A month ago, it was this Jin Haoxuan who bullied a young girl working at a barbecue restaurant. How big was the public opinion at that time? It even rushed to the top of the trending list. The internet was full of outrage, but what happened? The girl's younger brother, that young man who posted online, was directly detained for provoking trouble. He had a car accident as soon as he came out. Everyone knows how this car accident happened."

He sighed, "Now, the young master of the Jin family is still living a carefree life, driving luxury cars every day, going to bars, picking up girls, but what about that family? No one knows if they are alive or dead, and there is no news on the internet. All the posts have been deleted."

These words made the people at his table feel a sense of shared sorrow: "This Jin family, not even considered a financial group, has such great power, it's no exaggeration to say they can cover the sky with one hand. What can we ordinary people do if we encounter something in the future?"

"No one cares about this? If he has connections in the city, go to the Capital to sue! I don't believe they have connections in the Capital too."

Someone said, his face flushed with anger.

"The Capital is useless either."

At this time, Ling Zhi couldn't help but say in a clear voice, "Jin Zhiya of the Jin family has a Spirit Root and has been accepted into the Red Sun Academy. It is said that she has already completed an assessment and become a nominal disciple of the Red Sun Sword Sect. In front of immortal cultivation disciples, what else can those adults do besides helping to bully us?"

"Spirit Root?"

"Someone from the Jin family joined the Red Sun Sect?"

"Then... then wouldn't that mean they can become cultivators!?"

Her words immediately caused many people in the room to show surprise.

Immediately afterward, everyone fell silent.

They still dared to comment on what illegal and taboo things this local wealthy family, which was not even considered a financial group, had done.

But cultivators...

Each one is a monster with immense power.

Thirty years ago, cultivators descended from beyond the realm.

When one of the Nascent Soul cultivators swept through the contemporary overlords, easily intercepting over a thousand nuclear missiles aimed at him, the spines of all the countries in the world were broken.

In just half a month, the remaining national governments obediently cooperated with the cultivation sects to divide up the world.

The Da Shang Kingdom, with a population of 160 million, was given to the Red Sun Sword Sect.

Since then, it has become common knowledge that cultivators are above the law.

Although the magnates of Da Shang are equally arrogant and domineering, they ultimately dare not kill people openly, but the cultivators of the sects...

If they kill someone on the street, that person can only consider themselves unlucky, and no department dares to say a word against it.

Even the local authorities have to help block the news to prevent the situation from escalating.

For a time, the atmosphere in the room was dead silent.

Just as the milk tea shop was in a depressing stalemate because of the words "cultivator," the door was pushed open.

Three students, about the same age as Ling Zhi and wearing Guangzhou High School uniforms, walked in.

"Xiao Bai, Qin Chuan, you're here."

Ling Zhi stood up: "Shall we go now?"

"We..."

The boy called Xiao Bai hesitated: "We're not going."

"Not going?"

Ling Zhi was stunned, then looked at the other boy: "Qin Chuan, aren't you going either? You were able to get into the top ten in the school this time, all thanks to ChunJun tutoring you, aren't you going?"

Qin Chuan tilted his head and didn't speak.

Xiao Bai, on the other hand, said in a low voice: "I heard someone say that the reason Li ChunJun was injured was because he was going to the Capital to file a complaint, so the Jin family had someone crush his legs."

As he spoke, he added: "The hospital didn't even dare to treat him and hurriedly discharged him."

Ling Zhi didn't speak, just stared at him with her beautiful big eyes.

After a while, she said, "So, none of you are going?"

"We and him, in the final analysis, are just classmates..."

"Classmates? You've forgotten who helped you improve your grades so quickly?"

"But... wasn't he also revising his knowledge while teaching us? Besides, he himself said that we were NPCs accompanying him in this 'Blue Star online' game, which shows that his attitude towards us isn't very proper..."

Xiao Bai's voice grew lower and lower.

"You believe that kind of joke..."

Ling Zhi was about to retort, but she heard him say again: "I just got the news that the school has expelled him."

He spoke evasively, but the meaning was already very clear.

Afraid.

Afraid of causing trouble.

Even if...

It was just to see him as a good friend after he got hurt.

"Expelled!?"

Ling Zhi was angry, but more than that, she felt it was unfair for Li ChunJun: "ChunJun has always been first in the school in every exam, and he has never fallen out of the top ten in the city's joint exams. The teachers and principals used to treat him like a treasure. Now, expelled? What mistake did he make to be expelled?"

The young man didn't speak.

But not speaking was equivalent to giving the answer.

How dare the principal of Guangzhou High School, who flatters those above and bullies those below, offend the Jin family?

After a long time, Ling Zhi's anger dissipated slightly, turning into a deep sense of powerlessness: "Is there really no justice in this world?"

"We were afraid you'd be waiting, so we came over to tell you. I'll leave after I'm done, and you should go home early too."

Qin Chuan said in a low voice, then left the milk tea shop with Xiao Bai and the others.

Watching her three best friends leave, Ling Zhi bit her lip, wanting to call them back, but the words reached her mouth, but she couldn't say them after all.

She sat down, her mind filled with the bits and pieces of her deskmate Li ChunJun's hard work, helpfulness, and respect for teachers over the years.

Although he was abandoned by his divorced parents at an early age, this did not affect his optimism.

He was so radiant.

She really thought that someone like Li ChunJun, who was excellent in his studies, easy-going, and kind-hearted, would definitely be able to get into Capital University and become the most successful social elite in the class in the future.

But...

Who knew that such an accident, and he was even the victim, would completely ruin such a promising young man in theory.

Nowhere to appeal.

Expelled from school.

Physical disability.

This...

Ling Zhi looked up at the high-end villa area hundreds of meters away.

A flash of anger and shared hatred flashed in her bright eyes.

But in the end, all the emotions were drowned in deep powerlessness and guilt, turning into a sigh.

High-end villa area hundreds of meters away.

Inside a villa that was two thousand square meters including the garden, the Golden Flash Phantom slowly drove in and parked in the spacious garage.

The car door opened, and Jin Haoxuan got out of the car with a trace of drunkenness on his face, leisurely entering the house.

However, when he entered the living room, he found that in addition to his father, Jin Guangming, Shen Zhengxian, the general manager of Three Stars Property Service Co., Ltd., who was specially responsible for doing dirty work for their family, was also there.

Seeing Jin Haoxuan come in, Jin Guangming frowned, but considering his daughter's doting on this younger brother, he didn't say anything, just continued to say to Shen Zhengxian: "After a month, the heat has subsided, so I'll leave the matter to you. If you don't uproot the weeds, they will grow again in the spring breeze."

"Chairman, please rest assured, my people are already there. A cripple and a little girl, crushing them won't be any harder than crushing two ants."

Shen Zhengxian guaranteed with certainty, "It's also because you said to be more discreet, otherwise they would have been beaten to death in the detention center already."

"Do it cleanly. Although it doesn't matter if it's discovered, we still need to give Director Mo of the Garrison Department some face."

"Absolutely no traces will be left. This isn't thirty years ago when there were cameras everywhere. Those esteemed cultivators hate those things."

Shen Zhengxian said with a smile, feeling very relaxed.

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang. He glanced at the number and said, "It's Black Panther's call."

"Answer it."

Jin Guangming said.

Black Panther, Shen Zhengxian's confidant, a martial artist who had cultivated his strength.

As Shen Zhengxian answered the phone, the news of a done deal indeed came from inside: "President Shen, we've cornered them. Both of them are here. Do you have any other instructions? If not, we'll take care of them?"

Jin Haoxuan, who was half-drunk beside him, immediately perked up: "Both of them are here? That bitch Li Wanqing is here too?"

"Young Master Xuan? She's here, hiding in the bedroom crying, thinking she can stop us with a wooden door. Do you want to leave her for Young Master Xuan to play with? She even said she wanted to protect her crippled brother. Young Master Xuan will definitely have a lot of fun coercing her."

"Leave her for me..."

Jin Haoxuan was about to speak when Jin Guangming glared at him.

"Leave no one alive, resolve it as soon as possible."

He said to Shen Zhengxian.

Shen Zhengxian nodded and gave Jin Haoxuan a helpless look, then ordered the phone: "Take care of them all."

"Understood, we'll do it right away..."

Black Panther was about to say something.

A roar came.

Then, all sorts of exclamations suddenly came.

"Little bastard, you dare to fight back!?"

"Isn't he crippled? How could he..."

"Ah! Liu Zi, be careful!"

The sounds coming from the phone were chaotic.

Accompanied by a series of "fuck" and other swear words.

In less than ten seconds...

"Bang!"

The sound of the phone falling to the ground.

"Beep beep beep!"

Signal lost.

Something's happened.

Looking at the phone screen, Shen Zhengxian's face turned ugly.

Not long ago, he had confidently guaranteed that there would be no accidents, but the slap in the face came so quickly.

Meeting Jin Guangming's somewhat dissatisfied gaze, Shen Zhengxian quickly put away his phone: "Chairman, I'll go over and take a look myself."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Jin Guangming said coldly, "If you don't handle it well, don't come back!"
