However, several major families and middle-aged men were shocked by Zhao Wuming's anger and resentment, but Pei Qingsong was not affected because Zhao Wuming's reaction was within his expectations.

Anyone who had his most capable subordinate suddenly eliminated would be furious and go crazy, let alone a proud and arrogant master of the top level of dark energy like Zhao Wuming?

"Must kill me?"

Pei Qingsong listened to Zhao Wuming's words as if he had heard a huge joke. The corners of his mouth curled up in a cold arc, and his sharp voice was full of sarcasm.

"Then I really want to see how you can kill me."

"I managed to escape from the underground base even in such a disadvantageous situation, let alone now that I'm on the surface. How could I still be afraid of you?"

"Your men are now seriously injured and have lost all their fighting power. You and the guy beside you want to take us down. I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do that, right?"

Pei Qingsong said this with an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Oh, by the way, there's that woman next to you, and those useless subordinates. Are you really going to rely on them to kill me?"

"If that's the case, I'm really disappointed."

"I bet you one dollar that you can never kill me. Do you believe it?"

Pei Qingsong looked at Zhao Wuming fearlessly, without any of the solemnity he had just shown in the underground base. Instead, he exuded an extremely arrogant and frivolous aura like a young man in his twenties. Just a few words made Zhao Wuming's eyes red and he burst into anger. He immediately clenched his fists and wanted to go forward and start a fight with Pei Qingsong.

Tian Qi was indeed calmer than Zhao Wuming. To put it bluntly, it was because those who were injured were Zhao Wuming's men, not Chu Longtu's direct subordinates. So although the loss was so heavy, Tian Qi was not actually that distressed. That was why he was able to remain calm and truly see Pei Qingsong's intentions.

Tian Qi grabbed Zhao Wuming's arm and spoke in a deep voice.

"Calm down, don't do anything yet, be careful of falling into his trap."

Zhao Wuming turned his head suddenly, his violent anger almost burned his brain dry, his eyes were full of rage towards Tian Qi for stopping him.

"What's the trap?"

"All my brothers are injured, and I'm the only one left. What trap should I be afraid of?"

Tian Qi also knew that Zhao Wuming was very angry at the moment and could not use common sense to look at things. He had lost his composure for a moment, so he did not feel any anger because of Zhao Wuming's offense and spoke calmly.

"If it's just a personal fight, we certainly don't have to be afraid."

"But didn't you notice from your words just now that he was trying to lead you on and push all the blame on us?"

"If we are still in the underground base, then of course there is nothing to say. There are no other people watching, so we can have no problem with what the other party says."

"But now we are outside, and there are other onlookers around. If Pei Qingsong really follows his words and puts the risk of Tianbo Building's foundation cracking or even collapse on us, and we become the real culprit of Tianbo Building's collapse, then the impact will be huge."

"Of course it makes no difference to you, because you have been hired by the young master anyway. After completing this job, you can just pat your butt and leave. It is none of your business if there is a commotion here."

"But we also want to gain a real foothold in Hedong after defeating the Pei family. Under this premise, the people's hearts in Hedong are very important to us."

"If Tianbo Building really collapses, the scope and number of people affected will be far beyond our imagination. Once it really causes large-scale casualties, our reputation in Hedong will be ruined in an instant."

"When the public resentment boils over, we won't have a foothold in Hedong at all, let alone talk about taking root there!"

"Under the huge public resentment, even those families that were previously hostile to the Pei family and wanted to reap the benefits will be forced to stand with the Pei family, join forces to deal with us, and drive us out of Hedong!"

"why?"

"Because the Pei family has portrayed themselves as victims, and they are facing a madman like us who are so desperate and mad that they don't care about the lives of the people of Hedong and caused the collapse of Tianbo Building."

"With us as a foil, the Pei family can easily transform themselves from victims into the tragic image of losers who fought hard to protect the lives and property of the vast majority of Hedong citizens but ultimately failed."

"With such an image as a blessing, even if the Pei family fails, they will not be resented by the people of Hedong, because those people of Hedong will only vent all their anger and hatred on us, the instigators."

"When that time comes, every minute and every second we walk in Hedong, every inch of land we walk on, and every breath of air we breathe will express our resentment and disgust towards us, and will scream to drive us out."

"Under this premise, the former enemies of the Pei family would not dare and would not go against the public opinion of the entire Hedong area. They would just join forces to drive us out."

"As for how delicious they are, whether they take it from the Pei family or snatch it from us, it will be enough for them to be busy."

"So Pei Qingsong's words just now are basically leading us into a ditch, trying to push all the responsibilities onto us, so that they can get away with it cleanly, relying on the identity of a victim to manipulate public opinion against us!"

"This is his trap, do you understand?"

Tian Qi said at the end, and in order to let Zhao Wuming understand the seriousness of the matter, he deliberately lowered his voice.

Zhao Wuming was also slightly stunned after hearing this, and a hint of hesitation and struggle flashed across his eyes, but then he was completely covered by violent murderous intent.

After saying this, Tian Qi has been paying close attention to the changes in Zhao Wuming's expression. When he saw the coldness and determination in Zhao Wuming's eyes, his heart couldn't help but sink slightly.

What he was most worried about happened.

After all, Zhao Wuming was not one of their own, but an outsider hired by Chu Longtu to help.

Therefore, all of Zhao Wuming's actions are based on his own interests, not Chu Longtu's interests.

Zhao Wuming was not concerned about being blamed by the Pei family for the collapse of Tianbo Building and being hated by the entire Hedong and then being driven out. What he cared about was whether he could kill Pei Qingsong to vent his anger!

Therefore, even though Tian Qi had already explained that if Zhao Wuming continued to take action, it would be very likely that they would be held responsible for the attack on Tianbo Building, which led to its collapse, but Zhao Wuming still resolutely chose to take action to vent his anger. How could this not make Tian Qi unhappy or even angry?
