"Hmm."
"I think your acting skills are indeed something to look forward to. Let me tell you something else."
"Hurry up and spill it!"
"Iâm currently coaching Yang Bingzhong in stock trading."
"Hmm?!"
"Iâm planning to bankrupt him in the market!"
Ma Dafu was secretly alarmed, "I know you are good at trading stocks, and itâs really not hard to swindle him. But Yang Bingzhong has backing. If you make him lose everything, his backers probably wonât let it go. Even if youâre a citizen, itâs not surprising if he hires a Fifth Level hitman to kill you. Donât act rashly."
Ren Zhong: "No, he wonât think I swindled him. Heâll just regret not listening to my advice and will continue to hope I can help him recover. Besides, Iâve already found a way to ensure he wonât escape my grasp."
Old Ma: "..."
After a long pause, Old Ma spoke again, "So the rival who has fought with me for over a decade and held his own is now being toyed with in your hands?"
Ren Zhong: "Old Ma, your face is as thick as usual, clearly youâre the one who lost utterly."
"Donât mind those details. But then what? The important thing now isnât punishing Yang Bingzhong; itâs Starfire Town."
"Once I finish this job, there will be a lot of money. The new Starfire Resources is real. Iâm the boss!"
"What!" Ma Dafu swallowed hard, "But... Pu Cha..."
"Iâll handle that too, Old Ma. Just cooperate with me and play your part well. Use your daughterâs situation to make a scene for me."
"Fine! Iâll trust you once more!"
The next second.
Ma Dafu suddenly flew into a rage, "Ren Zhong! You damn bastard, Iâll leave aside the Starfire Resources issue for now, but as for playing with my daughterâs feelings, I wonât let it go! Daughter, go kill him! Anyway, heâs just an outlaw now. At most, youâll just get a little punishment."
"Alright!"
Ma Xiaoling gave a shake of her long spear, engines roaring around her, and shot up like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, she pounced next to Ren Zhong, also standing on the wall.
Her spear, sparking with electricity, pointed directly at Ren Zhong.
Ren Zhong neither dodged nor avoided it, only gazing at Ma Xiaoling with sorrowful eyes.
Ma Xiaolingâs face flushed red, silently gritting her teeth, "Ren Zhong! You need to apologize to me!"
Below, Ma Dafu roared in anger, "I told you to kill him, not to apologize! Donât let him leave just like that! Whatever happens, Iâll back you up! As a father, I canât just watch my daughter being bullied and doing nothing!"
Ren Zhong, however, ignored Ma Dafuâs threat, only looking deeply at Ma Xiaoling: "Lingling, you know, I truly care for you. But your request, I really canât fulfill. We are fated but not destined to be together, I only hope we can part on good terms. As long as there was true love, why need eternity? If you really hate me that much, and can only relieve your anger by killing me, then I have nothing to say. Come! To die by the hand of the woman I love, I, Ren Zhong, will have no regrets in this life!"
With that, Ren Zhong spread his arms, raised his neck, and closed his eyes, exposing his neck under Ma Xiaolingâs spear.
Ma Xiaolingâs hand trembled for a long time.
She raised her hand several times, but stopped several times.
This scene left Yang Bingzhong, who was entertaining the inspection team from Chromium Carbon Town, panicking.
He had originally not planned to intervene, but now he couldnât sit still.
"Stop!"
Yang Bingzhongâs voice rang out over the broadcast.
He leaped out from the Starfire Resourcesâ submarine-like building, a small hovercraft floating underfoot catching him smoothly, heading straight over.
"Ma Dafu, youâd better tell your daughter to stop. Donât force me to expose your lies, donât force me to tell everyone the truth behind Pu Cha. You wouldnât want to see Starfire Town awash with blood today, would you? Ren Zhong has a good heart, thatâs why heâs being threatened by you and your daughter like this. Iâm not so easily pushed around! You have to show some respect when hitting a dog; if you donât show me face, I wonât give you any either. I tolerated it last time, but if you dare to harm a hair on Ren Zhongâs head this time, Iâll drag the entire Starfire Town with him!"
"You!" Ma Dafu was struck by a fit of anger, but had no choice but to shout from below, "Ma Xiaoling, come back!"
Only then did Ma Xiaoling reluctantly withdraw her spear, turned angrily, and flew down.
A few glistening tears were thrown into the sky.
Ren Zhong, who survived by chance, slowly opened his eyes, just catching sight of the few tears flying away.
Impressive! (Voice breaking)
Sheâs even crying on cue!
Itâs like a familiar farewell, a familiar scene, but with even higher-level acting.
This time, the roles have changed.
The audience has changed too.
Except for the completely unaware desert dwellers, Yang Bingzhong became the only audience kept in the dark.
Yet at this moment, Yang Bingzhongâs sense of achievement was at its peak.
He only knew he had driven away the defiant Ma Xiaoling with a word.
Only knew that the alien ore was about to be sold.
Only knew that the value of the Starry Sky Shipbuilding stock he held had already reached 4 billion, and this was just the beginning!
Yang Bingzhong even had confidence that in the near future, he would secure the resource recycling agency rights for the entire Zhan Sha County!
I will become, after more than a decade, the first new high-level citizen on Source Star to rise from First Level Citizen, crossing multiple class barriers, ascending to the Fifth Level!
Class barriers?
Under my Yang Bingzhongâs savvy planning, they are nothing more than paper tigers, easily shattered!
I, Yang Bingzhong, am born to accomplish great things!
Sigh, why wasnât I a bit braver back then, a bit more decisive, and mortgaged Starfire Resources as well!
