Chapter 342: You Are No Different from the Dead!
In the dead of night, LA City was already shrouded in darkness. It was now ten o'clock at night. Qin Yang returned to his upscale apartment, changed out of his suit, and slowly sat down in front of his computer, opening it to start browsing through the documents.
Although he was born with a silver spoon, having made a name for himself in the financial world was definitely not due to his background. Without extraordinary hard work, he absolutely wouldn't have achieved his current position.
As the head of Chengxing Venture Capital, Qin Yang was undoubtedly very successful today. After all, it is rare for someone at his age to have reached such a position through his own abilities.
After working at his desk for an hour, he rubbed his dry eyes. Then his gaze fell on the mirror beside him, where he saw his swollen cheek. Instantly, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
To think he's been mixing in LA City's financial circle for many years, yet today's incident of being hit hard in the face with a cup at the financial summit was a first for him!
As he recalled Lu Yu's expression during the day, a cold light appeared in Qin Yang's eyes: "Lu Yu, Victory Group, just you wait. Tomorrow at the cocktail party, I will make your financing plan fail completely, shame you at the party, and terminate your new project in its infancy!"
The more he thought about it, the prouder Qin Yang felt. Just thinking about Victory Group's new project failing in his hands, he couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart.
Looking at himself in the mirror, a smile curved at his lips. Despite the slight swelling, his face was still handsome, which added to his sense of pride.
It was at this moment that he glanced and suddenly noticed a figure sitting on the sofa in the dimly lit living room!
The person was facing him, with eyes as bright and deep as a beast in the night!
Late at night, in the vast apartment where he was supposed to be alone, and suddenly someone appeared in the dim living room before him with beast-like bright eyes—how could this not be eerie?
This situation was terrifyingly frightening!
Witnessing this scene, Qin Yang's hair stood on end, and his breathing became rapid. Almost instinctively, he reached for the phone beside him to call the police!
Just then, a flash of cold light streaked past!
Clang!
With a crisp sound, a gleaming kitchen knife suddenly chopped into the solid wood surface of his desk, the sharp blade just a few centimeters away from his hand!
Clearly, if the force used had been slightly more, the knife would have landed on his arm!
"Don't move, and don't shout, or next time, my fruit knife will have to pierce your neck!"
The shadow in the living room spoke in a cold tone, words full of chilling menace.
At this moment, goosebumps covered Qin Yang's skin. He sat there stiff, not daring to move an inch, breathing heavily for a moment before speaking with difficulty, "Who... who are you? We have no past grudges or recent disputes, what do you want?"
Hearing the shadow's voice, Qin Yang found it quite familiar, but for the moment, he couldn't recall whose voice it was!
"No past grudges or recent disputes?"
Upon hearing this, the shadow laughed, then slowly got up and walked towards Qin Yang, speaking, "Mr. Qin, your memory really isn't that great. People usually forget pain when the wounds heal, and you've already forgotten me while the wound on your face is still fresh. I'm seriously considering whether I should refresh your memory a little."
As he spoke, the shadow gradually approached Qin Yang, and in the light, the shadow's true appearance was revealed!
Buzz!
At the sight of the shadow's face, Qin Yang's scalp tingled instantly, and an expression of utter shock crossed his face!
The shadow before him was none other than Lu Yu, who had thrown a cup at his face earlier that day!
"It's you!?"
Seeing Lu Yu, Qin Yang immediately exclaimed, "How did you get in?!"
"How I got in is not important. What matters is that I heard every word you just said!"
At this moment, Lu Yu toyed with the fruit knife in his hand, his face a mix of amusement and threat as he said, "Qin Yang, Mr. Qin, apparently you're plotting not to be trifled with, trying to kill Victory Group's new project in its infancy."
Saying this, Lu Yu's tone shifted to a cold one, "You've got a lot of nerve!"
Buzz!
Although Lu Yu's voice wasn't loud, it was filled with a chilling murderous aura. This oppressive aura was infinitely stronger than the domineering presence he had during the day!
Feeling this cold murderous aura, Qin Yang's expression froze, and his legs slightly trembled, his face full of fear.
Lu Yu before him seemed like a terrifying beast, exuding a sense of extreme danger!
"What do you want?"
Feeling the murderous aura, Qin Yang spoke, "I warn you, don't act recklessly. This is a society governed by the rule of law, and you will be held legally responsible for this!"
Qin Yang's words were filled with fear. He had seldom gotten into fights growing up, let alone faced such a situation. As he spoke, his words were laced with terror!
"Don't act recklessly!?"
Hearing Qin Yang's words, Lu Yu shook his head, then a cold flash streaked from his hand, grazing Qin Yang's cheek!
A flash of cold light passed, and a gash opened on Qin Yang's previously fair cheek, with bright red blood oozing from the wound, making it appear particularly striking!
Sss!
In an instant, pain shot through Qin Yang's face, forcing a sharp intake of breath. Although the cut was neither large nor deep, it rendered half of his face numb!
"Qin Yang, mark my words, right now in my eyes, you're no different from a dead man."
In Lu Yu's hand, the fruit knife flickered with cold glints under the light, carrying threads of killing intent, "Should I choose to, I can end your life right now, turning you completely into a dead man!"
