CHAPTER 229: CHAPTER 229: FULLY CONVINCED

Dai Zhize then fell on his back again, a look of pain emerging on his face.

He slowly stood up and saw Su Ming waving his hand back, saying:

"If you really want to challenge me one-on-one, come back after you’ve sobered up."

Seeing this, the unyielding anger in Dai Zhize’s heart burned even more fiercely.

He launched several more waves of attacks at Su Ming, but they were all easily neutralized by the latter.

And each time his outcome was worse, with more and more injuries on his body.

Finally, he could no longer get up and lay directly on the ground, unconscious.

Just then, Deng Zhigang, who received a message from Su Ming at Blue Moon Bar, hurried over.

As soon as he reached the company entrance, he saw someone lying on the ground, and asked in confusion:

"Brother Ming, is this guy looking for trouble with you? How should we deal with him?"

Hearing this, Su Ming said indifferently:

"This guy is the son of the head of Longcheng’s publicity department. He just had a bit to drink and wanted to use alcohol for courage to challenge me, so I knocked him straight to the ground. Carry him into the company."

Upon hearing this, Deng Zhigang’s face was filled with shock, his mouth wide open as if an egg could fit inside.

He looked at Su Ming, his voice trembling with disbelief as he spoke:

"Brother Ming, you’re not joking, are you? How come everyone who seeks trouble with you is such a scary figure?"

After saying this, Deng Zhigang lifted Dai Zhize up and dragged him into the company, placing him on a lounge chair.

The next morning, Dai Zhize woke up from the lounge chair, feeling like his mind was blank, unable to remember the events of last night.

"You’re awake? Have some tea to refresh yourself."

At this moment, Su Ming leaned against the wall and spoke indifferently, then gave Deng Zhigang a look.

Deng Zhigang, seeing this, served Dai Zhize a freshly brewed cup of West Lake Dragon Well tea.

Seeing this, Dai Zhize was startled, but he still took the teacup and took a gentle sip.

The fresh aroma of tea filled his senses, instantly invigorating his spirit.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember why he was in this place.

He immediately spat out the tea in his mouth and pointed at Su Ming in disbelief, saying:

"You’ve got some skills! Where did you learn it? I’m a Taekwondo black belt and proficient in various martial arts techniques, but you took me down effortlessly yesterday."

"I taught myself in the army. What I learned are lethal survival techniques, fundamentally different from the showy moves you learned."

After hearing this, Su Ming spoke indifferently.

"I see. No wonder your moves seemed so simple yet always precisely hit my weak spot, achieving victory in one strike."

As he spoke, Dai Zhize stood up, a fiery look in his eyes, continuing:

"So you were a soldier before. It seems only in the army can you learn such real skills. It’s a shame I know many experts from the military, but none of their skills match up to yours."

After hearing this, Su Ming responded:

"I retired from the special forces. Special forces soldiers are a group of warriors, quite different from ordinary soldiers."

Upon hearing this, Dai Zhize’s gaze towards Su Ming showed a hint of admiration and respect.

He then knelt down sincerely, saying:

"So you’re a special forces soldier? In that case, I’d like to become your disciple. Can you teach me some real skills?"

Su Ming saw this and immediately asked Deng Zhigang to help Dai Zhize up, waving his hand, saying:

"Let’s skip the disciple thing. But you can watch me perform moves from the side. You’ll have to grasp the specific techniques on your own."

After saying this, Su Ming walked outside the company.

But Dai Zhize was still unwilling to give up, following Su Ming all the way to the car door.

Then he watched as Su Ming drove away in a Bentley, only stopping then.

At this moment, he looked towards the horizon excitedly, saying:

"Rest assured, Master Su. Even though you aren’t willing to take me as a disciple, I won’t give up. I have to learn real skills from you."

This second-generation official had clearly forgotten that he initially saw Su Ming as a rival in love.

His intense passion for powerful martial arts and skills had already made him see Su Ming as his most admired and respected mentor-like existence.

When Su Ming arrived at Zhou Jingya’s villa, he found that Li Yueming was also there.

Recently, she had reconciled with Lin Yanan, and after spending some time together, their relationship had returned to its previous state.

She was extremely angry with Su Ming, seemingly still holding a grudge against him for pushing her to the cliff’s edge earlier.

However, a look of fear still appeared on her face, for fear that if Su Ming got angry, he might intimidate her again by any means.

"Where is your mother?" Su Ming asked doubtfully after entering the villa.

"She’s gone to the company." Li Yueming said softly, as if seeing a fierce tiger, daring not meet Su Ming’s gaze directly.

"Gone to the company?" Su Ming questioned, his heart filled with confusion.

What’s the purpose of going to the company so early? Has something happened?

After staying at the villa for a while, he then saw Zhou Jingya arriving in a Rolls-Royce at the villa’s entrance.

Zhou Jingya entered the villa with a look of disappointment on her face.

This normally cold and proud female CEO’s formidable aura seemed noticeably diminished at the moment.

"Aunt Zhou, has something happened to Manhong?"

Seeing this, Su Ming asked.

"I’ve been dismissed from my position as chairman."

Zhou Jingya sat on the sofa, crossing her beautiful legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings.

She picked up a teacup and took a sip, slowly speaking.

Her voice seemed to reveal a sense of fatigue.

Zhou Jingya noted that Su Ming’s face retained a calm expression, yet he was looking at her intently.

So she continued speaking:

"Meng Zeyang has returned. He and Wang Guohao are both Li Guoqiang’s right-hand men."

Zhou Jingya paused, her beautiful eyes gazing at the distant sky, as if recalling past events.

She then continued to explain:

"But he’s different from Wang Guohao; he’s always been an ambitious person, but previously he was just dormant. Now that the lion sees Li Guoqiang struggling to protect himself, it has awakened, baring its fangs and opening its blood-soaked mouth in an attempt to devour the entire Manhong."

She sighed, a look of helplessness appearing on her pretty face.

"At the shareholders’ meeting just now, with the enormous advantage of holding eighty percent of the shares, he forced other shareholders to vote to remove me from the chairman’s position, and he will take over as chairman thereafter."
