With Shan En present, Old Johnny did not say outright who was calling.
Qin Siyang said to Shan En, "Uncle Shan En, I need to take this call."
Shan En smiled. "Go ahead. Anyone who can call you directly through Old Johnny's line must have some connections."
"He certainly does."
Qin Siyang used Conversation Shielding again to shut Shan En out, then took the phone.
"Hello."
"Brigade Commander Qin, I think we can still talk this over."
Qin Siyang replied coolly, "Talk about what?"
Huo Dangkou's voice was perfectly calm. "I really have no intention of killing Chu Baxing. I also don't think violence is the way to solve problems."
"Violence isn't the way to solve problems?" Qin Siyang laughed. "Then why did you demand that Chu Xiaoang kill Zhou Bi?"
"...I told you, I wanted to avenge my father."
"Then you take your revenge, and I'll take mine." Qin Siyang swirled the juice in his glass and drained it in one gulp. "I may not be able to kill the World-Destroying Church's experts, but killing you will be more than easy enough."
Huo Dangkou fell silent again.
Qin Siyang's voice was sharp and resolute, but inwardly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Xiaoang's hands were tied. Even if he put on a calm front, he still worried about his only son. If he confronted Huo Dangkou head-on, he feared that Huo Dangkou might lash out in desperation and take Chu Baxing down with him. So he could only arrange for Zhou Bi to be killed.
Qin Siyang, however, was younger, bolder, and had fewer attachments. He had lost count of how many times he had walked the line between life and death. He often took risks, and naturally, he dared to take an unconventional approach this time too.
