Xia Bingqing naturally hadn't expected Wu Dao to have such an attitude.
"You..."
For a moment, she was speechless.
Then, Wu Dao added chillingly, "Xia Bingqing, what do you mean by calling me today? Are you declaring war on me?"
Xia Bingqing had originally intended to smooth things over, but now it seemed her wishes were in vain.
Instead, things had deviated significantly from what she had imagined.
"I don't mean that!"
Xia Bingqing said coldly, not resorting to pleading.
This was not her nature.
Wu Dao snorted, "Heh... if you don't mean that, why did you make this call? Xia Bingqing, Xia Bingqing, you're quite something!"
"Even if you say it's a declaration of war, rest assured, I'll accept it!"
"I, Wu Dao, and Jiuzhou Group will not fear you, understand?"
Xia Bingqing was somewhat exasperated and said gravely, "I've already told you, that's not what I meant, not what I meant..."
"What I mean is, you and I have no past grievances, and I want to coexist peacefully with you!"
"Is such a simple meaning so hard for you to grasp?"
Her tone was unusually firm.
This ignited a fire in Wu Dao's heart, and he immediately roared, "Xia Bingqing, Xia Bingqing, you injured my godson and my Red Spider Legion members. Do you think this matter can just be let go?"
"I'm telling you, it's wishful thinking!"
"Not a chance!"
"You... you're going too far by doing this!" Xia Bingqing gritted her teeth in anger, "Wu Dao, how could you be like this?"
Wu Dao had now pushed shamelessness to its absolute limit.
Of course, people like them didn't need to be decent, because being decent wouldn't earn them a living.
What was the point?
Wu Dao sneered, "You made the first move!"
Xia Bingqing couldn't hold back and immediately shouted, "Wu Dao, you are truly shameless! What do you mean we made the first move? It was clearly you!"
"It was you!"
"If Wu Feng hadn't acted improperly towards us and hurt Liu Wenwen, we wouldn't have retaliated!"
"We are all business people, and it shouldn't be difficult to be reasonable, right!"
"Heh heh..." Wu Dao said again in a low voice, "Xia Bingqing, let me tell you, I will never reason with you. And let me also tell you, Jiuzhou Group will definitely clash with you until the very end!"
"This is my stance, do you understand?"
Xia Bingqing had intended to talk with Wu Dao, but she never imagined it would escalate to this point. She took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, "Wu Dao, the only reason I called you today is to bury the hatchet, not to argue about who's right or wrong!"
"I hope you can calm down now, and let's talk properly!"
"This is my original intention!"
"After all, it was Wu Feng who made the first move."
She restrained herself, doing her best to remain composed.
Wu Dao's attitude towards Xia Bingqing hadn't changed from the beginning, "Xia Bingqing, to be frank, ever since you rejected Jiuzhou Group, the feud between us has already been established, understand?"
"So, even if you were to kneel before me today, I wouldn't reconcile with you!"
"Furthermore, Wu Feng and the Red Spider Legion, your people crippled them, and you still want to reconcile with me? Do you think that's possible?"
"Don't you find yourself ridiculous?"
