Chen Jie sneered, "I merely incapacitated these people's consciousness temporarily, rendering them incapable of lying. Did you really think I could conjure a perfect fabrication with a mere flick of my wrist?"
"You..."
Yang Siqing was rendered speechless.
Chen Jie continued, "Now, I have given you the twenty billion. Our conditions for breaking the engagement have been met. Hand over the marriage contract and the IOU!"
"No! You used sorcery to make our subordinates cooperate with you! You must return those items to our Yang family! Otherwise, I will not give you the marriage contract!" Yang Siqing insisted stubbornly.
Chen Jie stated coldly, "It makes no difference to me if you don't. From this moment on, I unilaterally declare our engagement void. As for the IOU, you can destroy it yourself."
Having said that, Chen Jie turned to leave.
Yang Siqing shrieked, "Chen Jie! Are you really bullying me, a mere woman? What kind of skill is that? Do you feel accomplished by stealing from a woman?"
Chen Jie let out a cold laugh.
Even now, she was still stubbornly slandering him.
Lying wasn't the problem; the real issue was deceiving oneself.
Chen Jie walked out without hesitation.
However, after just a few steps, a group of subordinates blocked Chen Jie's path.
"What? You can't get your way with sweet talk, so you resort to force?" Chen Jie asked coldly.
"Let him go!" Yang Ding Tian commanded.
Instantly, the group of subordinates parted, clearing a path.
As Chen Jie was about to leave, several people suddenly rushed at him, "Scum! How dare you slander Miss Yang! Miss Yang is my idol! I'll fight you to the death!"
These individuals, armed with axes, hacked furiously at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie frowned.
He noticed that the Yang family's martial artists remained still, while the ones attacking him were ordinary people.
Yet, they were attacking him with lethal intent.
*Bang! Bang!*
Chen Jie kicked out, sending them all flying backward.
"Get lost, you mere commoners think you can stop me? I'll spare you this time. If you dare to act again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Chen Jie roared.
Chang Shaoliang immediately ran to the side of the men who had been kicked. After checking them over, he shouted, "Chen Jie, you dare to kill people?"
"What? These people are dead?"
"Chen Jie, how could you do this! They were just ordinary people, some old, some young. You, a martial arts master, how can you disregard life and kill even commoners?" Chang Shaoliang exclaimed.
"What? Dead?"
Yang Ding Tian was greatly shocked and hurried to the side of these people, "Laifu! Wangcai, Arén, you have died tragically!"
Chen Jie frowned, "I didn't intend to take their lives. If they are truly dead, it has nothing to do with me."
"Chen Jie, everyone saw you kick them to death. You claim it has nothing to do with you?"
"You must pay for your actions!" Chang Shaoliang said with a sneer, pointing at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie felt something was amiss but still stated, "I did not kill them! What do you want?"
"Still not admitting it? You think that because you are strong, no one in this world can control you?" Chang Shaoliang sneered.
Chen Jie replied, "You are right about one thing. Perhaps, there truly is no one in this world who can control me."
"Hahaha... You are too arrogant! Today, I will make you understand that Pingcheng has its rules. Even if you are a powerful martial artist, there are still people who can control you!"
Saying this, Chang Shaoliang took out his phone, "Brother Fei, I want to report that a martial artist is indiscriminately killing innocent people!"
Chen Jie sneered and stopped.
"I want to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"
"Hmph! Wrongdoing must always be paid for! I guarantee you will regret this soon!" Chang Shaoliang said with a cold smile.
Yang Ding Tian walked forward and sighed, "Chen Jie, even if we have some disputes, you cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately! You've gotten yourself into trouble now! While martial artists' disputes might go unpunished, harm to commoners is still addressed!"
"Do you know about the Dragon Group? They are an organization specifically responsible for managing martial artists. If any martial artist indiscriminately kills innocent people, they will intervene!"
"These people are my subordinates. How about this, as long as you return those items from Wutai Mountain to our Yang family, I will personally overlook this matter. What do you say?"
The Dragon Group?
Chen Jie was currently evaluating the Dragon Group.
If the Dragon Group was an organization that helped people extort others, then there would be no need to investigate.
He immediately said, "I've only heard of the Dragon Group's existence before. Hearing you say it, I am truly curious to witness the legendary Dragon Group."
"You..."
Yang Siqing also advised, "Do you think you can afford to offend the Dragon Group? It's better to do as my father says."
Chen Jie gave her a cold smile and said nothing.
Chang Shaoliang sneered, "Ignorant fool! You'll be crying soon!"
At this moment, several black cars drove up outside the Yang family's main gate.
A team of people dressed in black emerged from the cars.
Shortly after, these people entered the Yang family compound.
"Brother Fei, you've finally arrived!" Chang Shaoliang, upon seeing one of the men, immediately stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.
Chen Jie's gaze sharpened as he realized the leader was a woman – Lin Shuang.
"What is going on?" Lin Shuang asked.
Chang Shaoliang ignored Lin Shuang and continued to address the man, pointing at Chen Jie. "Brother Fei, I want to report that this person came to the Yang family and indiscriminately killed innocent people, killing several commoners!"
"Where are the deceased?" Lin Shuang asked again.
"They are here!" This time, before Chang Shaoliang could speak, Yang Ding Tian pointed to the bodies being carried to a corner.
Lin Shuang, as if she didn't recognize Chen Jie, walked up to him and asked, "Did you kill these people?"
Chen Jie replied, "No."
"He's lying! We all saw it! He kicked them all to death with one kick!"
Some of the Yang family members cried out.
"Brother Fei, quickly arrest this person! If he is not removed, he will be a scourge!" Chang Shaoliang winked at Yang Siqing and said to the man.
"We will bring justice to the deceased! You don't need to worry about this anymore," Lin Shuang said.
She waved her hand, and a group of people immediately surrounded the deceased.
Seeing that Brother Yun was not speaking much to him, Chang Shaoliang felt a little uneasy.
However, he wisely returned to the side of Yang Ding Tian and Yang Siqing.
"Young Master Chang is indeed well-connected to be able to summon people from the Dragon Group," Yang Ding Tian flattered Chang Shaoliang.
Chang Shaoliang glanced at Chen Jie and said casually, "This is just a small matter. I have a good personal relationship with Yun Feiyu from the team, which is why he was willing to help me. Otherwise, the Dragon Group has many matters to attend to, and they wouldn't bother with such trivial issues."
"Yes, yes, it is fortunate that Young Master Chang is here today. Otherwise, we would have no way to deal with this Chen Jie. However, this Mr. Yun's attitude seems a little unusual." Yang Ding Tian worried.
