Lin Fan stepped on Liang Tianyu's face and looked down, demanding, "You think I don't dare to touch you? You think your status is some kind of shield?"
Liang Tianyu's eyes widened in shock and fear as he stared at Lin Fan, momentarily speechless.
"I'm telling you, those fancy titles of yours mean nothing to me — not a damn thing!"
Bang!
Lin Fan kicked Liang Tianyu's head.
"Maybe before the world changed, your words could still threaten me. But now? What are you to me?"
"Less than a dog!"
Lin Fan punched Liang Tianyu in the head again.
"Stop... stop hitting me! I take back what I just said!" Liang Tianyu was truly scared now. He hadn't expected Lin Fan to act so decisively!
He was the type who was used to hiding in his office, playing cunning games — completely different from Lin Fan.
If Lin Fan had let him go today, maybe he could have played Lin Fan until he was trapped with no way out.
But!
Lin Fan was standing right here, refusing to play any games or schemes!
With just his fists, he shattered all of Liang Tianyu's plots.
If Liang Tianyu was like a scheming emperor, Lin Fan was a brute who broke laws with sheer force.
When an emperor gets angry, blood flows like a river.
But when a common man gets angry, even the emperor will bleed within five steps!
"If you hadn't spoken just now, I might not have known how evil you really are..." Lin Fan's eyes flashed with killing intent as he grabbed a hollow steel pipe nearby, gritting his teeth and shouting angrily, "It's because there are too many worms like you, ugly to the core, still alive in this world, that it has become so rotten!"
"I've been living carefully through the apocalypse, not wanting to hurt anyone, but reality always forces me down this path. So fine, I'll fight violence with violence — starting with you!"
Liang Tianyu sensed the strong murderous intent in Lin Fan's words, and his pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Lin Fan swung the steel pipe down directly; Liang Tianyu's head tilted, his pupils instantly dilated.
Three heavy thuds shattered Liang Tianyu's skull!
An ambitious, scheming poisoner who once prepared to welcome a new life had just died at the hands of an insignificant ant in his eyes!
…
Thirty minutes later.
A massive fire erupted at Warehouse No. 78. The flames raged fiercely, and by the time firefighters arrived, the entire warehouse had been reduced to ruins.
Inside the wreckage, two almost completely burnt bodies were found.
After difficult identification, they finally confirmed the identities of the two bodies.
Liang Tianyu, General Manager of Tianrun Company.
Chen Nan, Head of Security at Tianrun Company.
Tianrun Company was the leading enterprise in Nan City and a pillar of the economy, so news of this spread quickly.
Many people were stunned upon hearing it.
Inside an office of Tianrun Company.
Deputy General Manager Ren was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, talking to headquarters on the phone. Suddenly, a rapid knock came at the door.
"Come in." Ren hung up and turned.
"Deputy General Manager Ren, something big happened! Liang Tianyu… Liang Tianyu is dead!" The door was pushed open, and the secretary gasped urgently at the entrance.
A flicker of surprise appeared on Ren's stunning face, quickly replaced by solemnity. "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely! The Military Police Hospital confirmed Liang Tianyu's identity and asked us to come claim the body!" The secretary looked pale.
"Cause of death?" Ren asked urgently. "Murder or accident?"
"Not clear yet. All we know is it's related to a fire!" the secretary replied. "A warehouse in the outskirts caught fire, and firefighters found Liang Tianyu's body in the ruins."
"Outskirts..." Ren frowned, a puzzled look flashing in her beautiful eyes. "Why would he be out there? The company doesn't have any operations there..."
"That I don't know," the secretary shook her head.
"This definitely wasn't an accident." A sharp light suddenly burst in Ren's beautiful eyes, like a hawk. Her red lips parted slightly. "Immediately investigate whether Liang Tianyu recently met with strangers and check his call records. I want a detailed report in three hours!"
Besides Liang Tianyu, Ren was the most powerful person at Tianrun Company. With Liang Tianyu now dead, this was a perfect opportunity for her.
If she could seize it, she would become the one holding all the power.
The secretary thought this as she took the order and left.
After the secretary left, Ren took a deep breath, her gaze flickering as she muttered to herself:
"This is definitely murder. But who did it?"
"Was the target only Liang Tianyu, or… Tianrun Company?"
"If it's the former, I'll celebrate tonight with two bottles of red wine."
"But if it's the latter, then that person is my enemy…"
Deputy General Manager Ren stood still, murmuring to herself. On that breathtakingly beautiful face appeared extremely complex emotions.
