Chapter 1836 The business world is like a battlefield; once a move is made, there's no going ba
These words, "How have you been?", filled Sun Qisheng with endless doubts!
He was absolutely certain that he knew Li Xiangnan, but Li Xiangnan did not know him!
In other words, this was the first time the two had met!
But Li Xiangnan's tone made it sound as if he had known about him for a long time!
Sun Qisheng's chest heaved, but he refused to speak, processing the malice he felt upon seeing Li Xiangnan.
"What? Don't you recognize me?" Li Xiangnan said with a calm smile. He took a few more steps forward and stopped a few steps away from Sun Qisheng.
The morning light outlined his young yet composed figure, a stark contrast to Sun Qisheng's disheveled appearance.
Sun Qisheng stared at him intently, his bloodshot eyes filled with the anger and resentment of a sleepless night, like a venomous snake struggling in its death throes, coiling around Li Xiangnan.
"Li! Xiang! Nan!"
He forced out a few words from deep in his throat, "You're quite something, aren't you? Truly... brilliant tactics. I, Sun Qisheng, am defeated by you!"
Li Xiangnan nodded slightly, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the heart.
"The business world is like a battlefield; once a move is made, there's no going back. Mr. Sun, when you resorted to such underhanded methods, even crossing the legal line to deal with me, you should have known this day would come! Haven't you heard about Anjiaer Medical?"
"I just did what I had to do: protect my factory and maintain an environment that should be clean, that's all!"
"Clean? Hahahaha!"
Sun Qisheng let out a series of miserable laughs, which caused the police officer holding him to tighten his grip.
"Li Xiangnan, stop pretending to be high and mighty! I accept that the winner takes all, but do you really think you've won? Do you think that by bringing down Sun Qisheng, you can rest easy in Yanjing? You're dreaming!"
Li Xiangnan remained unmoved by the madness in his words, leaning forward slightly, his tone carrying an unquestionable air.
"Sun Qisheng, you've gone to such lengths to deal with me. Is our conflict really just about business competition? Is it really because my factory is going public and it's taking away your profits?"
Sun Qisheng breathed heavily and remained silent for a moment, not answering him.
Li Xiangnan's gaze was sharp as a knife, fixed on the hint of panic that flashed in Sun Qisheng's eyes after he heard these words.
"Or is it because of... Mu Lianqiao?"
Mu Lianqiao!
These three words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploding in Sun Qisheng's ears!
The muscles in his face suddenly stiffened, and his pupils contracted sharply—an instinctive reaction as if a sore spot had been hit.
He stared intently at Li Xiangnan, his lips trembling as he tried to deny it immediately, but the other man's knowing gaze made him see right through him.
Li Xiangnan took in his state, expression, and movements, and his suspicions were confirmed at that moment.
Sun Qisheng recognized his appearance as soon as he received the file from Qiao Henwan!
This person was present at Mu Lianqiao's execution site!
At that time, his expression, like that of many others around him, was one of deep hatred towards Mu Lianqiao.
However, after experiencing these events, Li Xiangnan analyzed that the expression on Sun Qisheng's face showed deep hatred for the person who caused Mu Lianqiao's downfall!
The spearheads are different!
"You say you're well? Of course I recognize you! I saw you at Mu Lianqiao's execution! Although it was just a fleeting glance, I was there that day to see everyone who was following the Mu family's execution!"
"Your righteous indignation at the time made me pay attention! I still remember the look in your eyes clearly!"
"Perhaps, your targeting of me wasn't just about business from the very beginning, was it?"
"You're friends with Mu Lianqiao? You think his execution was caused by me and Jiang Qitao? Is that it?"
At this point, Li Xiangnan looked at him intently, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Or is it that the person behind you wants to avenge Mu Lianqiao?"
Sun Qisheng's face turned from deathly pale to ashen, and then from ashen to a deep liver color.
His psychological defenses were completely shattered by Li Xiangnan's words.
original!
Li Xiangnan knew all along that it was him who did it!
Therefore, all my subsequent actions were seen by the other party as carrying a deeper layer of personal resentment!
Sun Qisheng thought he had hidden it well, but in the eyes of the other party, it was full of loopholes.
"You're talking nonsense...you're spouting rubbish!"
But how could Sun Qisheng admit it? He roared, his voice trembling as he tried to hide his panic, "What Mu Lianqiao? Bullshit! I don't know her! I'm dealing with you because you're blocking my path to wealth!"
"Is that so?" Li Xiangnan's tone was tinged with sarcasm. "At this point, what's the point of denying it? You were nothing but a pawn, used to eliminate dissidents and seize profits! Now that you're no longer useful, you've become a nuisance, and have been discarded without hesitation! Let me guess... now that you've been taken away smoothly without any help, is it because the person behind you has already given up on you? Did he come to rescue you? No, right?"
"Shut up, you bastard!" Sun Qisheng struggled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, causing the handcuffs to rattle. "Li Xiangnan, stop trying to sow discord here. You have no idea what you're facing! You think winning this battle will solve everything? Haha, you're dreaming. Let me tell you, the waters in Yanjing City run very deep! Just you wait, you'll have your day!"
These words, filled with resentment and threats, made Guo Qianqiu, Section Chief Wang Defa, and others around him frown, and the atmosphere became even more tense.
Li Xiangnan listened quietly, his face expressionless, until Sun Qisheng, panting heavily, glared at him again, before he slowly spoke.
"Whether my future is bumpy or smooth is none of Mr. Sun's concern! I, Li Xiangnan, act with a clear conscience before Heaven and man, and as for who instructed you,"
His gaze swept over Sun Qisheng, as if he could see right through him, then looked into the distance, his tone becoming even colder.
"Feel free to come over here!"
These six short words, brimming with fearless courage and powerful self-confidence, deflected all of Sun Qisheng's curses and threats.
Sun Qisheng was speechless, choked by this imposing manner.
"Take him away!" Guo Qian waved his hand dismissively.
The police immediately pinned Sun Qisheng down and led him to the jeep.
Just as he was being shoved into the car, Sun Qisheng turned around sharply, and with all his remaining strength, let out a final, unwilling roar:
"Li Xiangnan! You wait, the master will not let you get away with this! You will die a horrible death!"
Bang!
The car door was closed, shutting out his frantic shouting.
The sirens blared again, and the police, carrying a utterly defeated Sun Qisheng, left Qisheng Pharmaceutical.
The scene quieted down, with only the gentle morning breeze blowing.
"This idiot, he's like a dead duck with a stubborn beak! Little Li, don't listen to this bastard's nonsense, don't take it to heart!" Wang Defa said speechlessly.
Li Xiangnan remained silent, staring intently in the direction the jeep had disappeared, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
"gentlemen!"
Sun Qisheng's downfall brought this thrilling saga to a close, but his dying warnings and threats stirred up ripples in the air.
Seeing Li Xiangnan's solemn expression, Wang Defa swallowed hard and asked, "Do you think that when he talks about 'the teacher,' he's making it sound so real, that the person actually exists?"
Li Xiangnan shook his head, then nodded.
"Perhaps my business in Yanjing is facing even bigger troubles. This Sun Qisheng... is just the tip of the iceberg! I suspect that the man who instructed him is another faction of the Mu family, another faction that is at odds with my grandmother!"
"???"
