CHAPTER 90: CHAPTER 0090: FURIOUS, GUN TO GUN_1

In the Liu Family’s spacious conference room, the Liu Family and the Diao Clan sat opposite each other at the meeting table.

The participants from the Liu Family included Elder Master Liu, Liu Qian, Liu Ruolan’s father Liu Wenshan, Liu Ruolan, Liu Ruomei, and Zhang Bin. The Diao Clan, of course, had only three members: Elder Diao, Diao Gaoming, and Diao Qiwei. Their expressions were grim, as they were evidently still reeling from the blow Zhang Bin had dealt them moments earlier.

Bodyguard Mi Fei stood behind them, his eyes occasionally flashing with venomous hatred directed at Zhang Bin. The bulge on the side of his black suit clearly indicated a concealed handgun; he was a bodyguard with a license to carry. Therefore, Zhang Bin also discreetly placed his right hand under the table, ready to draw his own gun at any moment.

Mi Fei was a stronger expert than Qian Bing. Even though his right hand was injured, he could still draw and shoot with his left, and his marksmanship was undoubtedly terrifying. How could Zhang Bin not be cautious?

"Can we start now?" Elder Master Liu asked, looking at Elder Diao with a smile.

"Take all the cell phones out of the room, and then we can begin," Elder Diao said coldly. Clearly, he was guarding against their phones being hacked by Hacker Rabbit King and the negotiations being overheard.

Mi Fei glanced at his watch and stated indifferently, "The monitoring system detects six cell phones in this conference room right now..."

Obviously, his watch was a high-tech device. The Liu Family had no choice but to take their phones out, including Zhang Bin’s. If they didn’t comply, the other party wouldn’t negotiate. The members of the Diao Clan naturally removed their phones as well. With that, not a single cell phone remained in the conference room. Even the computer was ordered to be removed.

The three members of the Diao Clan visibly sighed with relief.

I’m connected to my phone now,

Zhang Bin sneered inwardly. Since I’m in this meeting, I can monitor everything. Today, I’ll record all of your ugly faces. Heh, my eyes are my cameras.

Elder Diao began to speak, his tone light. "We will not annul the marriage arrangement. Qi Wei may have acted foolishly, but he has recognized his mistake and will correct it. As the saying goes, ’A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold.’ You must give him a chance."

Diao Qiwei also stood up, staring at Liu Ruolan with a lecherous gaze. "Ruolan, give me a chance to reform. I promise you’ll be happy if you marry me. I promise that with me, the Liu Family will prosper. Otherwise, your family’s collapse is imminent, and this man you fancy will die a miserable death. As for your fate, it will be the most tragic in the world."

Everyone in the Liu Family was seething with anger, gritting their teeth furiously.

Zhang Bin was so incensed that he shot to his feet, slammed his palm on the table, and bellowed, "Diao Qiwei, do you think you’re the Emperor? Do you think your Diao Clan can cover the sky with one hand? Do you really believe the law can’t touch you?"

"Kid, let me tell you, our Diao Clan *is* the law! Killing you and the entire Liu Family is as easy as crushing an ant," Diao Qiwei roared arrogantly.

"Even if your Diao Clan is the law, do you think the common people won’t resist?" Zhang Bin retorted with a cold laugh. With a SNAP, he drew his sword, his body radiating a sharp, killing intent. One could only imagine that if Mi Fei had defeated him earlier, crippling him or destroying his cultivation level, Zhang Bin wouldn’t have been able to make such a stand. The negotiations would have left the Liu Family completely at their mercy.

"Want to see which is faster? Your sword or my gun?"

With a flick of his hand to his left hip, Mi Fei produced an exquisite handgun and aimed its dark muzzle straight at Zhang Bin. But his expression changed dramatically, because in that same instant, Zhang Bin had also drawn a gun with his left hand, aiming its dark muzzle right back.

Zhang Bin sneered, "I was merciful earlier and didn’t cripple you, letting you run wild here. Now, why don’t you try me? Let’s see whose gun is faster."

Previously, to deal with Turen Xiong, Zhang Bin had used Longevity Qi to stimulate the nervous system in his right hand, enhancing its reaction speed. Since then, he had done the same for his left hand, so its reaction speed was now on par with his right. He was one hundred percent confident he could shoot Mi Fei before he could pull the trigger.

"Hahaha..." Diao Qiwei burst into maniacal laughter. "Zhang Bin, not bad, not bad! You actually brought a gun. You, a mere farmer, illegally possessing a firearm. Do you have any idea what kind of crime that is?"

Diao Gaoming was even more direct, simply ordering the bodyguard outside the door to call the police. Then, he looked at Zhang Bin as if he were a dead man.

The Liu Family was stunned. They had never dreamed the situation would escalate like this. They knew the Diao Clan was making a show of force to gain the upper hand in the negotiations, but they had no idea Zhang Bin had brought a gun, let alone that he would dare to pull it out. This was huge trouble.

Still, Elder Master Liu didn’t panic. He said sternly, "You came here to negotiate today. Why be so aggressive? Zhang Bin was wrong to carry a gun, but it’s not that serious. Let’s each take a step back and begin the talks, shall we?"

This was tantamount to backing down, ceding the advantage to the Diao Clan. But they had no choice; they couldn’t just stand by and watch Zhang Bin get arrested. Worse, once Zhang Bin fell into police hands, the Diao Clan could use countless schemes to extort and seize whatever they wanted.

"Old brother, we certainly came to negotiate in good faith today," Elder Diao said, a mocking expression on his face. "However, this man is armed and dangerous. He must be arrested immediately." How could he let such a golden opportunity slip by? They had come prepared to offer some concessions, like annulling the engagement to Liu Ruolan, in exchange for the formulas for the Bright Eye Liquid and Weight Loss Pills. But now, they wouldn’t have to pay any price at all. They could take everything directly, all because Zhang Bin had been foolish enough to bring a gun.

"Xiao Bin, why would you bring a gun?" Liu Ruomei was so angry she nearly spat blood, looking as if she wanted to bite his head off.

Liu Ruolan’s face was a mask of despair as tears streamed down her cheeks. Being a smart woman, she instantly understood that Zhang Bin had made a catastrophic mistake. The Diao Clan now had leverage over him. His fate was sure to be tragic, they would certainly lose the formulas for the Bright Eye Liquid and Weight Loss Pills, and it would be nearly impossible to annul her engagement.

"He can carry a gun, so why can’t I?" Zhang Bin said coldly.

"Hahaha..." Mi Fei laughed aloud. "I’m a professional bodyguard. I’ve protected high-ranking officials, so naturally, I have a license to carry."

"I have a license to carry too. What can you do about it?" Zhang Bin sneered back.

"You, a mere farmer, have a license to carry? How rare," Diao Qiwei said with a sinister grin.

The members of the Liu Family, of course, found this even harder to believe.

The police arrived much faster than Zhang Bin had anticipated. In less than five minutes, Police Chief Niu Qingshan stormed into the conference room with a group of armed officers.

"Put down your gun!" Niu Qingshan commanded coldly. "Or we will shoot!"

Of course, his command was aimed solely at Zhang Bin, as he recognized Mi Fei and knew he had a license to carry.
