Urban Carefree Warrior God

Seeing Li Si suddenly freeze, a faint smile unconsciously touched Di An's lips.

As the saying goes, strike a snake at its weak spot.

And he had Li Si's weak spot grasped firmly in his hand. There it was. A simple sentence had her waving the white flag.

Di An leisurely picked up his coffee and slowly stirred it with a spoon. He couldn't help but gloat, "Your Li Family is a great and noble house. Whether it's a man taking a wife or a woman marrying a husband, you place great importance on a match between social equals."

"So, if your grandfather found out about this, what do you think would happen? Wouldn't he just kill someone on the spot?"

The words were laced with a clear threat, intended to force Li Si to submit.

But he had clearly miscalculated.

If he had looked up at Li Si at that moment, he would have seen that her initial shock had faded, replaced by an expression one reserves for a complete idiot.

Her Li Family was considered one of the most preeminent noble houses in all of Qiyun Road. The so-called four great super-families of Lingjin City were nothing before them. But compared to the Zhennan Prince, what was her Li Family? A single finger from him could crush the Li Family, leaving them without the slightest power to resist, only to be reduced to dust. If she truly got together with Chen Yang, and her grandfather happened to find out... Her grandfather would be overjoyed! Why would he kill anyone? Would he even dare?

Wholly unaware, Di An adopted a look of mock pity. "Your birthright dictates that your future husband must come from a powerful and prestigious family. But that man of yours... he probably has nothing, does he?"

Since ancient times, those born into great families have never been masters of their own fate. Times change and the world is transformed, but this truth remains immutable.

Just as Di An was wallowing in self-satisfaction, a nearby television hanging on the wall began broadcasting an interview. It was about that much-rumored prodigy.

A reporter asked, "Mr. Yuan, you gave a deadline of dusk. There's less than an hour of daylight left. Has the Qin Corporation delivered the formula yet?"

"Not at all!"

The speaker was a handsome man dressed in white casual wear. His eyes were especially striking, as deep as twin abysses that seemed capable of pulling a person's very soul into their depths. A faint, confident smile played on his lips, revealing both his charm and his immense self-assurance.

With one hand in his pocket, he said casually, "If they don't bring it to me by nightfall, I will naturally go and collect it myself."

"It appears the Qin Corporation has no intention of handing it over. What do you plan to do, Mr. Yuan?" the reporter pressed.

The young man, Yuan Qingyun, flashed a grin. "If I told you the Qin Corporation will cease to exist by tomorrow, would you believe me?"

Reporter: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Inside the coffee shop, everyone watching the TV was left speechless.

From the sound of it, he plans to annihilate the entire Qin Corporation? This guy is outrageously arrogant! To openly declare he'll wipe out an entire corporation in front of all of Lingjin City... Who in this entire city does he even take seriously?

Di An's jaw dropped. He turned to stare at Li Si in disbelief. "If I remember correctly, your boyfriend is with the Qin Corporation, isn't he?"

He had, of course, investigated Chen Yang after their first encounter. What infuriated him to the point of nausea was discovering that the boyfriend Li Si had chosen was a married man. And now... perhaps he wouldn't need to lift a finger himself. Daring to defy Yuan Qingyun's will? Wasn't that just courting death?

Haoyu Group was a towering presence, and Yuan Qingyun's power was terrifying. Even though the Di Family was influential in its own region and wouldn't appear to cower on the surface, they would still have to yield in a direct confrontation. The title of 'multinational pharmaceutical giant' was not just for show.

"He's like an ant trying to shake a tree—courting his own death!" Di An sneered, then said in a grave tone, "Sisi, you must sever all ties with him immediately, or you'll be dragged down with him! He's unbelievably arrogant, daring to ignore Yuan Qingyun. Does he really think he's someone special?"

"Hmph!" Li Si shot Di An a mocking glance. "Don't measure others by your own standards. Just because you're incapable doesn't mean others are."

Di An was speechless for a moment, then he burst out laughing. "Don't tell me your boyfriend, Chen Yang, can actually go head-to-head with Yuan Qingyun?"

"He's nothing compared to Yang!" Li Si scoffed. "Forget about a mere pampered heir like him. Even if the Chairman of Haoyu Group himself were here, he couldn't make a single ripple in front of Yang. It's ridiculous that any Tom, Dick, or Harry thinks they can show off in front of him."

Li Si grabbed her jacket. "Don't come looking for me again," she said, before walking out of the café. She settled the bill on her way out.

Di An laughed, his voice tight with fury. "That damned piece of trash! What has he done to bewitch you? Have you lost every shred of common sense?"

Taking a sip of his coffee, Di An glanced at the darkening sky outside and smiled with satisfaction. "I'll just sit back and wait for his demise. Once he's dead, won't my dear Sisi have no choice but to return to my embrace?"

Why should he lift a finger? All he had to do was watch the tigers fight from the opposite bank. How delightful.

After leaving the café, Li Si went straight back to her room. On the way, she called Chen Yang and described in detail what she had just seen on TV. She wasn't worried, just concerned.

When Chen Yang told her he was already on his way, Li Si said indignantly, "Yang, I can't stand the way he acts like he's the king of the world. You have to teach him a good lesson."

Satisfied with his answer, Li Si finally hung up, a small smile playing on her lips. Then, she went back to trying on gowns for the concert.

「...」

「On the central avenue, inside a moving Hummer.」

Seeing Chen Yang hang up the phone, Yang Hu chortled, "That little punk is seriously arrogant. Boasting about wiping out the entire Qin Corporation? Why doesn't he just sprout wings and fly to heaven?"

Chen Yang just smiled without saying a word. Some people are just so eager to jump into the spotlight. He didn't want to bother with him, but the man just had to flaunt his supposed superiority, making public appearances in the media and spouting nonsense. Did he really think he was number one in the world, peerless under the heavens? Yang Hu was right. The guy was an idiot.

"I've already checked," Yang Hu said with a grin. "He's staying in the most luxurious presidential suite at the top of the Yuelan Grand Hotel. He's probably throwing a party on the rooftop terrace as we speak."

Chen Yang waved his hand. "Let's go take a look."

"Alright!" Yang Hu boomed with laughter. He loved this kind of excitement. He especially enjoyed watching self-important little punks get forced to their knees to beg for mercy, kicking and screaming all the way. It was always highly amusing.
