Or rather, he simply didn't dare to make any threatening moves against Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng gave a disdainful smile: "I wonder if you've heard about Hao Liang? Back then, he also slandered me on the school website and even threatened to expose me. But within one afternoon, our school's website returned a 404 error, and he was expelled for implanting a virus to attack the school's network."
"But after being expelled, for some reason, he held a grudge against me. Later, he sought death by finding someone to drive away my porsche 918, intending to tamper with my car and cause the brakes to fail. However, somehow, his car ended up having brake failure instead..."
As Jiang Cheng recounted the events, a bead of cold sweat began to seep from Dai Yu's forehead.
Lin Qingxue, standing beside them, also looked at Jiang Cheng with a shocked expression.
Dai Yu stared intently at Jiang Cheng. Of course, he had heard about Hao Liang's incident.
Because Hao Liang used to follow Lin Qingxue relentlessly, rain or shine.
And whenever Lin Qingxue came to the milk tea shop for her part-time job, Hao Liang would always be silently fawning over Lin Qingxue nearby.
Given that Hao Liang was also a Second-generation rich, the private rivalry between him and Hao Liang had been quite intense.
It was just that a while ago, he suddenly heard that Hao Liang had been in a car accident.
During that period, every student who came to drink milk tea inevitably discussed this matter.
Originally, Dai Yu hadn't taken the matter to heart.
After all, when Hao Liang had his accident, Dai Yu's immediate reaction was schadenfreude.
Because Hao Liang was also one of his rivals.
When a rival is gone, he is naturally happy.
However, now that Jiang Cheng had brought it up.
Dai Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong.
So Hao Liang and Jiang Cheng had such an unusual history together.
His face turned ashen as he said, "You just speak about it so recklessly? Aren't you afraid of being found out?"
Jiang Cheng smiled faintly, completely unconcerned: "Found out about what? I'm just explaining the whole sequence of events to you."
"Moreover, according to what the Police investigated, Hao Liang's entire incident has nothing to do with me. There is no surveillance video implicating me, and I was even one of the victims in the whole affair. What does this matter have to do with me?"
Looking at Jiang Cheng's calm expression, Dai Yu finally felt a trace of fear.
The matter was so bizarre, yet Jiang Cheng could remain completely uninvolved.
Considering Hao Liang's incident and then Jiang Cheng's recent question about his kidney problem.
Dai Yu suddenly connected this again to Lin Qingxue's mother's uremia.
Not only was his forehead sweating at this moment, but his back also involuntarily felt damp with sweat again.
No wonder Lin Qingxue kept apologizing to Jiang Cheng after he finished speaking.
Dai Yu couldn't help but look at Lin Qingxue with a face full of disbelief.
He noticed that although Lin Qingxue's expression wasn't much better, her hands were tightly clutching Jiang Cheng's sleeve.
Although he was unwilling to believe that Jiang Cheng had such immense power at such a young age.
Or rather, he didn't believe Jiang Cheng dared to do such a thing.
But at the same time, Dai Yu had to admit that in this vast world, many powers were hidden in the shadows.
The energy of those powers was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Especially certain methods employed by the wealthy.
They were simply not something ordinary people could resist.
Looking at the historical trend, those who exposed certain matters never came to a good end.
Just like the Tainted Milk Powder Incident back then.
The whole country was shocked, and the relevant personnel were arrested one by one.
But once the fervor surrounding the incident died down, and when no one mentioned it anymore.
Those reporters who exposed the matter had long since vanished silently from this world without anyone knowing when.
Only the black and white photos hanging on the walls of their homes remained.
Dai Yu had learned about many similar incidents.
Therefore, the world isn't always black and white.
Some rules can be broken secretly.
Just like Hao Liang's incident, if it was truly as Jiang Cheng said.
Then Hao Liang must have been terminated by such hidden forces.
So many unexpected incidents happen every day in this world.
Cases that are mysterious or lack direct evidence are countless.
It's hard to guarantee that he won't be the victim in the next unsolved mystery.
After this mental leap, Dai Yu couldn't help but swallow nervously, feeling afraid.
After thinking it over, he decided to back down, even though he had already made the decision internally.
But at this moment, Dai Yu still put on a brave front: "If you don't rent it, then don't rent it. Anyway, you're the one losing out. The breach of contract fee for five units is considerable; you better think carefully."
Jiang Cheng chuckled again: "I see you still don't understand. Did I say I would pay you the penalty fee?"
Although Jiang Cheng's voice was not loud, Dai Yu couldn't help but be startled again upon hearing it.
He had never met someone so arrogant.
Just because of a few words he said, Jiang Cheng had pushed him to this extent.
He had retreated again and again, yet Jiang Cheng wasn't even willing to give him the final compensation.
This meant Dai Yu had to leave without pursuing anything.
Dai Yu felt a bit aggrieved at this moment, and his tone even carried a slight whine as he said, "What do you mean by that? I have a contract! Are you telling me you want me to leave with nothing? You scumbag!"
Facing Dai Yu, who exhibited a somewhat histrionic personality, Jiang Cheng showed no sympathy whatsoever.
He still spoke coldly: "When you were showing off just now, why didn't you consider that you might run into a tough opponent? If I were just an ordinary person today, you'd probably be mocking me even more, wouldn't you?"
Dai Yu admitted that his voice had been a bit loud when speaking to Jiang Cheng just now.
He also admitted that he often felt overly confident and couldn't resist mocking anyone he encountered.
But so what? Mocking someone won't kill them, right?
But he was different! He only said a couple of things to Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng demanded such a huge price from him. Why?!
Dai Yu's eyes were red, and his tone hardened again: "What if I really seize this opportunity and publicize the matter widely? Aren't you afraid that if you push me too far, I'll fight you to the death?"
Jiang Cheng snorted coldly: "If you dare, go ahead and try. But the prerequisite is that you must be able to bear my wrath."
Jiang Cheng was not at all afraid of the situation Dai Yu described.
If Dai Yu truly intended to do something dangerous, his Danger Perception would warn Jiang Cheng ahead of time, so there was really nothing to worry about.
Jiang Cheng continued: "Of course, if you insist on the penalty fee, you can have it. But I fear you might live to receive it, but not live to spend it."
Hearing this, Dai Yu really wanted to retort against Jiang Cheng, but the words felt stuck in his throat, and he dared not speak them.
