As noon approached, outside the main entrance of Xingkai Group.
Song Qiao and Ye Zhiwei descended the stairs and arrived at the car.
"What should we do? I'm a bit nervous. I don't know what Li Bingqing has prepared to deal with us."
"Hey, do you think if she... as soon as we arrive, she'll have people directly arrest us?"
Ye Zhilan subconsciously clutched her small bag, her palms still sweating as the moment arrived.
At this time, various worries and guesses arose in her heart.
Seeing the expression on this girl's face, Song Qiao couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Alright, let's get going. If you keep overthinking, Li Bingqing will grow eight legs and ten arms."
"Don't worry, no matter what tricks that woman has, I'm not afraid of her. We're going there this time to thoroughly defeat Li Bingqing and the Li family."
He teased her, making Ye Zhiwei nod vigorously, her tension easing considerably.
Turning her head, she noticed that Song Qiao's aura had become more steady, his entire being like a mountain, giving her an unparalleled sense of security.
It seemed that as long as he was there, all worries would disappear.
"Mm, this time, we must defeat the Li family!"
She encouraged herself.
"Alright, let's get in the car. It's about time."
Song Qiao called out, and the two quickly arrived at Jixiang Hotel in the city center.
In the small banquet hall on the top floor of the hotel, a banquet was already set. Mo Ling and Li Bingqing sat at the head of the table, while the others at the table were waiting for their arrival.
And as Song Qiao led Ye Zhiwei into the banquet hall, all eyes instantly turned to the two of them.
Especially Guo Ning and Li Mu, who were specially invited as experts to deal with Song Qiao, both scrutinized them from head to toe.
But they quickly realized that this guy, in his stride, showed no characteristics of a martial artist, but rather resembled an ordinary person.
At this, Li Mu couldn't help but frown, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Was he really being asked to deal with this kind of person?
It was clearly overestimating the enemy. One could say Li Bingqing, being a woman, was indeed too cautious in her actions.
Soon, everyone was seated. The table was filled with all sorts of rare and exquisite dishes, but at this moment, no one seated in the small banquet hall had the appetite to look at them.
"I think let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to it."
Song Qiao sat down with a swagger, seemingly not taking the more than a dozen people opposite him to heart at all.
The moment he entered, he had already sensed Li Mu and Guo Ning.
Both of them seemed to be experts in internal energy, but compared to Tao Fan before, they were still inferior. Therefore, even if they combined forces, they wouldn't be his match.
And this, it seemed, was all of Li Bingqing's means.
Ridiculous, for her to think she could deal with him by inviting two innate masters?
"Li Bingqing, you must have spent a lot of effort for this setup. Now that I'm here, bring out all your tricks, and I'll take them all on."
His words were full of provocation.
He hadn't come today with any intention of talking things out. In reality, in matters like this, there was no possibility of talking amicably.
Mo Ling looked at Li Bingqing beside her, and indeed, a cold glint appeared in her eyes.
Seeing that she was about to flip the table and make a move, she quickly spoke up.
"Song Qiao, I advise you to eat your meal first, and we can talk after we're done."
"I know you're strong, but the people Li Bingqing has brought today are experts you absolutely cannot handle."
As Mo Ling's words fell, a surge of true energy erupted from Guo Ning and Li Mu!
Both were experts in internal energy, also known as innate masters by ordinary people. They possessed an absolute oppressive aura for ordinary individuals!
At this moment, the other people at the table found it difficult to breathe, their hearts filled with shock. Was this what a confrontation between masters was like?
Ordinary people didn't even have the right to participate.
Li Bingqing smugly wanted to see Song Qiao in an awkward situation, but as this oppressive aura reached him, it was easily diffused.
Even Ye Zhiwei didn't feel the slightest pressure.
This made Li Bingqing's expression even more sinister. She turned her gaze to Ye Zhiwei.
"And you? What are your thoughts?"
She asked condescendingly, as if everything was within her grasp.
"Do you intend to have the same idea as Song Qiao, and not talk with me?"
"I must remind you, it's not too late for you to surrender now. If you're willing to compromise, we can actually take a step back from each other amicably and have a good meal."
Ye Zhiwei showed no sign of weakness at this moment, her gaze fixed directly on Li Bingqing.
"Take a step back? How do we take a step back?"
She had no intention of surrendering, but she also didn't want to initiate conflict at this simple stage, as the two people beside her looked very formidable.
"Heh heh, as long as you're willing to give back the fifty billion you swallowed, then today I'll let you two off and not make a move on you for now. What do you say?"
Li Bingqing's lips curved slightly, her tone and demeanor full of that of a mature woman.
But the content was extremely harsh. This wasn't so much about both sides taking a step back as it was Li Bingqing using her power to pressure Ye Zhiwei into admitting defeat.
To come up with fifty billion, this was not an amount the Ye family could easily produce, unless they sold stocks.
Moreover, Li Bingqing would undoubtedly become more aggressive later.
Almost without hesitation, Ye Zhiwei turned to look at Song Qiao, who remained composed beside her.
In the past few days, he had given her so much confidence. Seeing those determined eyes again, her heart was greatly reassured. She turned back to look at Li Bingqing.
"Sorry, I refuse."
"If you're willing to lose the entire Li family to me, then I might consider it."
Ye Zhiwei's words were fearless, even having a confrontational feel.
This made Mo Ling beside her somewhat surprised.
In this situation, Li Bingqing was considered to have a sure victory. With her assistance, taking over the Ye family should not be difficult.
But this Ye Zhiwei had suddenly become so stubborn, which made her shake her head slightly.
As expected, when a woman falls in love, she becomes very foolish.
She could see the trust Ye Zhiwei had in Song Qiao in her every gesture, and a special kind of affection.
Therefore, she looked at her with a hint of disdain.
"Ye Zhiwei, I actually didn't want to disrupt the harmony, but neither of you will listen to advice, so there's nothing I can do. In that case, I won't interfere in this matter anymore."
These words made Li Bingqing smile, her lips curving slightly.
Previously, the obstacle to acting directly was often Mo Ling. Now that she was not interfering, it meant she could act with full force.
The next moment, she actually stood up, and with a condescending posture, spoke contemptuously.
"Song Qiao, since you said there's no need to talk, then I agree with you. We don't need to talk."
"As long as you die, we definitely won't need to talk. However, I believe Ye Zhiwei will definitely cry for you."
Having said that, she suddenly changed her tone.
"But it's still not too late for you to kneel and beg for mercy."
Her delicate, melon-seed-shaped face, which was looking down from above, was now filled with arrogance and mockery.
"I'd much rather see you, Song Qiao, like a dog, kneeling before me and begging for mercy. That feeling should be exceptionally good."
Song Qiao glanced at Li Bingqing, and at this moment, he also slowly stood up.
"I say, Miss Li, you really talk too much. If you're going to make a move, then hurry up and do it. Stop spewing this nonsense like a fly."
"I'm in a hurry!"
