Chapter 29

"Brother, are you really going to meet Zheng Wenbing?"

"Of course." Jiang Li comforted, "Sister, you stay at home and wait for Mom and Dad to come back."

He slipped out the door.

In a luxurious private room.

Zheng Wenbing, Zhang Yue, and Yang Wu were drinking, with a few beauties accompanying them. They laughed heartily, feeling triumphant, as if everything was under their control.

"Brother Bing, you really have a way. You've tamed that Jiang Li so well. When he comes obediently, how are we going to humiliate him?" Zhang Yue's tone was very cold. He was originally the class monitor, high and mighty. But he never expected Jiang Li to appear out of nowhere and beat him senseless in front of Luo Han, losing all his face.

This time, he finally managed to regain his pride with Zheng Wenbing's scheme.

He was planning to humiliate Jiang Li thoroughly when he arrived.

A knock on the door.

The three men's spirits lifted, but it wasn't Jiang Li who entered, but a large man. He had a cold expression, dressed in black, with a very well-tailored suit. His body exuded explosive power, and more importantly, a strong fighting aura. His eyes could pierce through one's soul at any moment.

Behind the large man were two bodyguards in tank tops, also exuding a fierce aura, silent and very calm.

"Boss Sha has arrived." Zheng Wenbing quickly stood up and shook his hand.

He then introduced them, "These are my two brothers, Zhang Yue and Yang Wu. This is Boss Sha from the underground black market boxing ring in Xuhua City, who has come to cooperate with us."

Boss Sha waved his hand, "Zheng Wenbing, where are the two black market boxers you introduced to me? I need to inspect them. If they can really fight, I can offer a higher price and discuss the profit-sharing of the boxing matches. However, the death rate in the black market is very high. The boxers you find must be willing, or I won't bother to deal with any trouble."

"No problem, they can definitely fight. Both have a vitality of 0.9. What do you think?" Zheng Wenbing smiled, "They are two brothers, completely under my control, and won't dare to resist."

"Good." Boss Sha cracked his knuckles, his whole body trembling like steel bars, "Where are they? I need to inspect them."

"Not in a hurry, they'll be here soon."

Zheng Wenbing had a cat-playing-with-a-mouse look.

Thirty minutes later, Jiang Li arrived at the door. He pushed it open and saw Zheng Wenbing, Zhang Yue, Yang Wu, Boss Sha, and the two bodyguards in the room.

He didn't recognize Boss Sha, but from his muscular build, strong body, and fierce aura, he knew he wasn't a good person.

"Zheng Wenbing, you are so despicable to use this scheme!" Jiang Li stared at everyone, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Despicable?" Zheng Wenbing laughed, "I told you, you can't beat me. How about it, are you admitting defeat now?"

"Jiang Li, you humiliated me, and I will repay you a hundredfold." Zhang Yue stood up abruptly, wanting to vent his anger.

"Wait." Zheng Wenbing waved his hand, "Brother, don't rush. You won't get much benefit from just injuring him. Making him a black market boxer to earn money for us is the right way. He is no longer a person but a commodity. Boss Sha, please inspect him."

"Fine, I'll let you off for now. Fight in the black market for us, or your parents will suffer in prison! They are only under investigation now, but they will be formally arrested soon." Zhang Yue sat down, looking very pleased.

"These are the goods you recommended?" Boss Sha looked at Jiang Li and waved his hand, "Ah Hong, go up and inspect him, see how his combat experience is."

"Yes, Boss!"

The man named Ah Hong came forward, his voice deep and rough. He suddenly leaped like a leopard or a tiger, reaching Jiang Li and delivering a powerful punch.

D-level martial art, Heart-Seizing Fist!

Jiang Li didn't even look, countering with a punch. It was also a D-level martial art, the Military Body Piercing Fist. His arm extended, seemingly gentle and slow, but with the power of a shockwave.

The two fists collided in the air like lightning.

Crack, crack...

Ah Hong's arm was completely shattered, and he flew backward, falling onto a table, spilling drinks everywhere.

"What?" Boss Sha stood up abruptly, "What are you trying to do?"

"Nothing, just self-defense." Jiang Li crossed his arms, looking very relaxed.

"Good skills." Boss Sha's eyes were sharp, as if he had found a treasure, "He can make a lot of money for me. Zheng Wenbing, this is good material. We can sign a contract."

"Very good." Zheng Wenbing said to Jiang Li, "Jiang Li, from now on, your life is not your own. You belong to Boss Sha of the black market. Go to the school and apply for withdrawal, then follow Boss Sha to the black market to fight every day and earn money for me. Understand? This way, your parents will be safe for now."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Jiang Li suddenly smiled.

"Jiang Li!" Zheng Wenbing slammed the table, "It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin. I'll call my brother to give your parents a good welcome in the police station."

Ding, ding, ding...

At this moment, his phone rang.

Zheng Wenbing pulled out his phone with a sinister smile and answered it. A figure appeared, looking like a professional manager, his face pale, "Brother Bing, things have gone wrong. For some reason, Manager Lei Dong from the Xue Group suddenly investigated this matter, using the company's full legal resources to uncover my fake accounts. I've been summoned. You need to use your connections to bail me out, or the consequences will be severe if I'm arrested!"

The image disappeared.

Hearing this, everyone felt a sense of urgency and tension.

Something big had happened.

"Zheng Wenbing, my parents are resting at home." Jiang Li said calmly, "It was indeed you who framed my parents. How do we settle this? I've recorded everything. With Manager Lei Dong's investigation, the evidence is solid. You might also end up in prison this time."

This phone call made Zheng Wenbing's face change dramatically.

"Manager Lei Dong of the Xue Group!" He knew Lei Dong, a big shot, a powerful figure in the parent company of the Xue Group. His brother was just a CEO of a subsidiary, several levels below Lei Dong.

"This... Brother Bing, what should we do?" Zhang Yue and Yang Wu seemed at a loss.

"Sorry." Jiang Li said again, "Zheng Wenbing, I happen to have some connections with the Xue Group. You heard the call. What a pity, such a bright future, but now you'll end up in prison."

"Jiang Li, you!"

Zheng Wenbing suddenly gave Boss Sha a look, "Boss Sha, catch him!"

"Zheng Wenbing, it seems you've tricked me. You said a black market boxer would listen to you, but things turned out like this. I came to negotiate a deal, not a kidnapping. In Xinghua City, I am a law-abiding citizen." Boss Sha saw through everything, stood up, and said to Jiang Li, "Brother, I'm just an outsider, and this has nothing to do with me. Here's my business card. Maybe we can do business together, the Xuhua City Boxing King Group. Let's be friends, and I'll forgive the injury to my man."

"Fine, you're an outsider, I won't make things difficult for you."

Jiang Li took the business card and waved his hand.

Boss Sha gave a look, and the bodyguard carried the other one out of the room.

Boss Sha didn't want to get involved in this mess. Xinghua City was not like the black market in Xuhua City, where everything was governed by law.

"You girls, go out. This has nothing to do with you." Jiang Li waved his hand.

The girls were so scared that they ran out, rolling and crawling.

"Jiang Li, I didn't expect you to be more capable than your brother!" Zheng Wenbing calmed down, "But don't think you've won. You'll regret it."

"Brother Bing, no need to talk too much. Let's catch him first. The recording as evidence? Destroy the evidence, and there's nothing." Yang Wu suddenly stepped forward, "You just need to bail him out, and everything will be fine."

He had always wanted to test his skills against Jiang Li and was eager to do so.

Bang!

As he stepped forward and assumed a stance, he suddenly took a step forward, his palm descending with the force of a mountain, striking Jiang Li's head!

C-level martial art! Great River Palm.

Sunset on the long river.

Jiang Li didn't even look, raising his hand to block the other's arm and delivering a powerful slap.

Slap!

Another slap, this time even harder than the one he gave Zheng Wenbing. It sent Yang Wu spinning, dazed and disoriented, falling to the ground, unable to find his bearings.

Before the injection of super protein, he was no match for Jiang Li, and now even less so.

"You are no match for me." Jiang Li, having knocked out Yang Wu, crossed his arms, "Zheng Wenbing, Zhang Yue, Yang Wu, you three will suffer this time."

"Jiang Li, what do you dare to do to us? This is a law-based society!" Zheng Wenbing's eyes turned white, revealing his deep fear. Since Manager Lei called him brother, he knew things were bad.

His family was wealthy, but compared to the Xue Group, they were nothing. Manager Lei had great power, being a senior executive in a large company with much broader connections. His swift and decisive actions completely shattered Zheng Wenbing's confidence.

If it were a typical family, he could easily suppress them, but involving Lei Dong made things much more complicated.

Now, with this connection, just a word from Lei Dong could free his parents. How could he compete?

He felt lost and helpless.

"It is a law-based society." Jiang Li, relieved to hear his parents were safe, said calmly, "I won't do anything to you. You framed my parents, and I will resolve this through the law. The law will take its course."

Although he wanted to crush Zheng Wenbing, intentional homicide and assault would ruin his future, and his parents definitely wouldn't want him to do that. Even just now, he only slapped Yang Wu, not causing any serious injuries, to avoid giving them any leverage.

His parents had always preferred to avoid conflict and would rather back down when faced with trouble.

If Jiang Li were to hit someone, it would give them leverage and cause his parents worry. However, he wouldn't let these three off. He was thinking of how to use legal means to completely ruin them.

Of course, he would also make them pay, with sufficient compensation.
