Chapter 85 Let Me Have a Cigarette First
"Cao Kun, you'd better think before you speak and clear your mind!"
Zhang Mingyu struggled to lift his head and looked at Cao Kun, a sinister shade crossing his eyes.
Cao Kun was struck by Zhang Mingyu's sharp gaze, and his heart involuntarily shuddered!
"Smack!"
Su Chen slapped the back of Zhang Mingyu's head:
"Even now, you're still not behaving!"
Zhang Mingyu had just lifted his head when Su Chen struck it down again, his mouth even made intimate contact with the ground.
Cao Kun finally realized, understanding that Su Chen, not the always-feared Zhang Mingyu, was in control of the situation now, and even he himself had become a desperate fugitive!
Cao Kun took a deep breath and said word by word:
"This was all orchestrated by Zhang Mingyu; he taught me every step."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone showed an expression of 'just as we thought.' Zhang Mingyu's earlier behavior had already led them to this speculation, and now it was merely confirmed!
Zhang Mingyu also closed his eyes, showing a defeated look. He knew his time as the head of security was over.
Zhang Mingyu was different from the likes of Cao Kun; he cared a lot about his reputation. Even if the company didn't fire him, he wouldn't have the nerve to cling to his position.
Although everyone had already guessed he was the mastermind, guessing and revealing it openly were fundamentally different.
As long as Cao Kun kept silent, he could have continued in his role as head, confident that no one would dare speak out.
But now, Zhang Mingyu shook his head in despair, cursing himself for having a fool as a teammate!
"Are you satisfied now?" Discover hidden content at empire
Zhang Mingyu tried to turn his head to stare at Su Chen, but Su Chen pressed down on him, making it impossible for him to fully turn around.
"Satisfied?" Su Chen responded as if he had heard a joke, laughing dryly, "You think it ends here after you schemed against me?"
"So, what more do you want?"
Zhang Mingyu's heart shuddered, trembling as he spoke, a surge of inexplicable unease rising within him!
"You'll find out soon."
Su Chen laughed coldly; he was too naive to think he could get away with scheming against him so easily.
If it were the old Su Chen, Zhang Mingyu would already be dead. Although the current Su Chen wouldn't kill him, he certainly wasn't going to let him off easily.
The others were also curious about what Su Chen would do next, but they would soon find out.
Su Chen stood up and reopened the door. As soon as Su Chen left, Zhang Mingyu immediately felt an immense relief.
He was about to get up, but then a turmoil in his stomach made it impossible for him to straighten up.
Su Chen came back in, looking at him with a cold laugh that made Zhang Mingyu's heart chill.
"Thud!"
Just then, Su Chen lifted his foot and kicked Zhang Mingyu in the stomach. Zhang Mingyu let out a muffled grunt and flew out of the door, hitting the corridor wall before he fell to the ground.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Zhang Mingyu watched Su Chen approaching, seemingly aware of what he intended to do, his eyes contracting incessantly, his body shaking uncontrollably.
"It seems you've already guessed."
A sinister smile appeared on Su Chen's face, but to Zhang Mingyu, it was utterly terrifying.
"Such a thrilling spectacle is certainly best enjoyed by as many people as possible. Minister Zhang, don't disappoint me, oh—I look forward to your performance!"
With a slight smile, Su Chen once again kicked Zhang Mingyu's body, sending him arcing through the air before crashing down about five or six meters ahead.
Since the security department was located on the ground floor of the Belle Building in a more secluded area, everyone passing through the corridor could be witnessed from the main lobby.
The people in the lobby, hearing the noise from the corridor, turned their heads and were greeted with a sight that left them dumbfounded.
They saw one man kicking another like a soccer ball, constantly sending him flying up into the air before falling back down.
The rest of the security department personnel also followed outside, staring at Su Chen's expressionless face, yet feeling inside that it was better to provoke King Yan than to provoke Su Chen.
This guy was indeed sinister enough, ruthless enough!
He knew that Zhang Mingyu was particularly proud, yet he deliberately kicked him towards the lobby, allowing everyone to see Zhang Mingyu's miserable state.
This was clearly hitting someone in the face, hitting them where it hurts the most!
Indeed, this was Su Chen's intention. Since you value your face so much, I'll completely tear it off!
Soon, Su Chen had kicked Zhang Mingyu to the entrance of the lobby on the ground floor. Everyone in the lobby crowded around, yet all of them wore a baffled expression, unclear about what had happened.
Someone asked who these two were. However, no one seemed to recognize them, knowing only by their attire that they were from the security department.
Su Chen was just a recent hire at the bottom rung of the department, and since the security department wasn't popular, it was reasonable that no one recognized him.
As for Zhang Mingyu, he had been kicked such that his face was swollen and bruised beyond recognition.
Looking around, Su Chen saw only about twenty or thirty people and shook his head, feeling the effect was not significant enough.
He glanced outside at the open space beyond the entrance, where the foot traffic was much heavier.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he once again delivered a crisp kick, sending Zhang Mingyu flying out of the main entrance.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Su Chen kept kicking and walking, walking and kicking, and it didn't take long before he had kicked Zhang Mingyu into the middle of the open space in front of the Belle Building, drawing the attention of everyone around.
By this time, Zhang Mingyu had already passed out, as any person continuously kicked like this would.
However, Su Chen certainly wasn't going to let him just remain unconscious. He acted swiftly, tapping on his temple, and Zhang Mingyu immediately came to.
Actually, each of Su Chen's kicks was meticulously executed. While they left Zhang Mingyu looking quite pitiful, they were never lethal.
When Zhang Mingyu woke up and saw so many people around him, he was so mortified he almost wished he could just die.
Upon realizing he was lying on the ground in front of the building, Zhang Mingyu's heart sank completely.
Looking at Su Chen, his eyes blazed with hatred. He silently swore that as long as he lived, he would have Su Chen dismembered into ten thousand pieces!
Su Chen completely disregarded Zhang Mingyu's hateful look, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and took a deep drag before smiling at Zhang Mingyu
"Don't rush, I need to have a smoke and rest for a bit."
Not long ago, treating Mrs. Tang Mingji not only depleted all the True Yuan in his body but also consumed a considerable amount of his own energy, so this series of activities had left Su Chen feeling somewhat tired.
