"But from now on, I am Mr. Cao's man. You'd better not provoke me again. As for the compensation, you should stop talking about it and leave here now!"
"Otherwise, if you make Mr. Cao angry, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
When Liu Chen heard his remarks, he actually smiled, "You really have a master, and you can be arrogant again. When you beat a dog, you have to look at the master, right?"
Sun Xu suddenly became angry and gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Chen, I know your martial arts is very strong, but so what? In front of Young Master Cao, you have the ability to continue to be arrogant!"
"Young Master Cao came to the capital this time well-prepared and brought with him powerful men from the Cao family. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot be as powerful as the powerful men from the royal family!"
"It's for your own good that I'm leaving here now. It's not that I'm afraid of you. It's because you took care of me in the past. I want to leave you a way to survive."
Sun Xu said seriously.
But he was really telling lies with his eyes open. The person who wanted Liu Chen to die the most in Beijing was probably Sun Xu.
Liu Chen said somewhat amusedly, "Do you think I came to your Sun family to collect debts from you because I want you to give me a way to survive?"
Sun Xu did not speak. Although the fear in his heart was reduced a lot at this time, the shadow in his heart could not be erased so quickly.
"Liu Chen."
Cao Zhi suddenly said: "Now, I will give you two choices."
"Submit to me and take care of Shangjing's property for me. I can make you the king of Shangjing in a few years."
"The other option is to die here."
Sun Xu never expected that he would go to such great lengths to please Cao Zhi, and would even give everything in the Sun family to Cao Zhi, just to get Cao Zhi's protection.
But Cao Zhi wants to win over Liu Chen?
If Liu Chen had agreed, he would definitely have no good fruits to eat, or even lose his way of living, which would make him the same person.
Liu Chen was a little surprised when he heard Cao Zhi's words, but after thinking about it, he understood the reason why Cao Zhi chose him.
Shangjing is one of the few areas that is not controlled by any force and exists independently.
With such a large piece of land, it is impossible for any force not to be greedy for it.
But now, in Shangjing, there is only a situation where the eight major families in Shangjing are jointly managed. Obviously, there must be some problems that prevent other forces from getting involved.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a large piece of land to remain outside the control of any force.
The reason why Cao Zhi helped Sun Xu was probably because he wanted to use the Sun family to infiltrate the forces in Shangjing and capture Shangjing in one fell swoop.
As for what Cao Zhi was thinking, Liu Chen didn't know, nor was he interested in knowing what Cao Zhi thought or what he wanted to do.
Sun Xu looked at Liu Chen nervously, worried that Liu Chen would agree.
Cao Zhi looked at Liu Chen nonchalantly. No matter what answer he gave, it seemed that it would not exceed his expectations.
"Sun Xu, what do you think will happen to you if I agree?"
Liu Chen did not answer Cao Zhi immediately, but turned to Sun Xu, who was still trembling.
Sun Xu immediately stopped where he was, his body no longer trembling, and his heart was about to die.
Liu Chen's words were telling Sun Xu that if he agreed, Sun Xu would probably die here today.
"Since I am now a member of Young Master Cao, if you agree to Young Master Cao, then we will be a family on the same side."
Sun Xu swallowed, obviously still lacking confidence: "Mr. Liu should not be a narrow-minded person. The past is the past, and you won't keep holding on to it, right?"
"And if you really want to take action against me, Master Cao will not be too happy if I die like this, right?"
When Sun Xu said this, he glanced cautiously towards Cao Zhi, and then said: "I know the Sun family best. Without me, it will not be able to run smoothly for a while."
"You think so, Mr. Cao."
However, Cao Zhi didn't even raise his head. He held the glass in his hand and still sat there with a relaxed expression. He shook the glass in his hand and just looked at the liquid in the glass, as if he didn't care about it.
Listen to what Xu said.
Cao Zhi's performance actually piqued Liu Chen's interest.
