Fan Zitian held him back: "But if you kill him, you might very well provoke Tian Ranmei and the entire Iron Horse Empire to retaliate!"
Bai Yang struggled: "I don't care, Yun Shu's revenge must be exacted!"
Fan Zitian persisted: "But..."
Bai Yang shouted: "Qianqian, stop him."
Bai Qianqian quickly struck at Fan Zitian with her palm: "You dare to hit me too, girl?"
Fan Zitian quickly retreated, wanting to step forward, but was blocked by Bai Qianqian.
Bai Yang swung his saber towards Ming Zhitian's neck!
Fan Zitian hurriedly said: "Don't!..."
Suddenly, Ming Zhitian slammed the table and rose! He kicked the saber out of Bai Yang's hand and, before Bai Yang could react, grabbed him by the neck.
Bai Yang sneered: "If you want to kill me, then kill me. I only ask that you spare my ignorant daughter!"
Ming Zhitian glanced at Bai Qianqian and released Bai Yang, saying, "Hmph, I have no grievance with you today or yesterday. Why do you wish to kill me?"
"Bah! Villain, take my life!" Bai Yang lunged with a punch!
Ming Zhitian clenched his fist, and suddenly the rain outside transformed into a fist shape and flew in!
The water fist struck Bai Yang, causing him to spurt blood for a long time and cough up more upon falling to the ground.
"Father! Lord City Lord..."
Bai Qianqian glared hatefully at Ming Zhitian: "I will kill you to avenge my parents!"
Fan Zitian quickly stopped her: "Miss, don't be rash. Even with the Lord City Lord and I working together, we are no match for him. You mustn't sacrifice yourself in vain."
Bai Qianqian stomped her feet in anger but was helpless. She could only go over to help Bai Yang up.
Ming Zhitian walked towards them. Bai Qianqian said, "Don't come any closer. What do you want?"
Ming Zhitian said: "It would be as easy as flipping my hand to kill you. Speak, why did you harm me?"
Bai Yang maintained a stubborn expression: "Villain, if you want to kill or torture me, do it quickly. Idle talk is useless."
Ming Zhitian shook his head helplessly: "If you won't speak, then so be it. I'm leaving."
Bai Yang frowned: "What are you plotting, you old fox?"
Ming Zhitian left. Bai Yang commanded: "Elder Fan, cough cough... chase cough... chase him."
Fan Zitian cupped his fists: "Yes, Lord City Lord."
"Mr. Ming, please wait!"
...
Ming Zhitian sat on a chair, listening attentively. Bai Yang couldn't help but ask, "You truly don't know?"
Ming Zhitian said: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have nothing important, then don't waste my time. I'm very busy."
Bai Yang said: "Yun Shu."
Ming Zhitian didn't understand: "What Shu?"
"Cough cough..."
Seeing Bai Yang struggling to speak, Bai Qianqian said: "Yun Shu was my father's married wife, and also my biological mother. Eight years ago, you, Ming Zhitian, caused her death, so we set up a banquet to poison you, but it failed."
Ming Zhitian seemed to understand: "I didn't. Are you sure you have the wrong person?"
Bai Qianqian shook her head: "We are absolutely sure. Are you perhaps Ming Zhitian, the high-ranking executive who was rumored to have betrayed the empire three years ago?"
Ming Zhitian nodded: "That would be me. No mistake."
Bai Qianqian said: "Eight years ago, did you issue a letter and send someone to Jin Yin Bei City to distribute five hundred death benefits? Is this true?"
Ming Zhitian suddenly recalled: "It is true. I reviewed the records and found that this important matter was missing. After all, that battle was for the Iron Horse Empire. How is it related to me killing Yun Shu?"
Bai Qianqian said: "Of course, it is. You bought a special envoy to distribute five hundred death benefits. Our entire Jin Yin Bei City rejoiced greatly, feasting for three days and three nights.
We even kept the special envoy to celebrate with us for a few days. Who would have thought that the special envoy, while my father and I were unprepared, took advantage of the alcohol to sexually assault my mother! Such beastly behavior is truly shameful. Later, my mother committed suicide to protect her honor. And afterwards, the special envoy claimed that all his actions were instructed by you, Ming Zhitian! You scoundrel!"
Speaking to this point, Bai Qianqian choked back tears. Ming Zhitian wanted to comfort her, but he knew it was not the right time.
Bai Qianqian continued: "We wanted to throw the special envoy into the dungeon and have Elder Kong deal with him. But the special envoy bribed everyone. No matter how we complained, it was suppressed and there was no possibility of overturning the case. The reason was still because of you, your connections as Executive Ming Zhitian, the special envoy acted with impunity and lived at ease for eight years! Do you deserve to die?"
