Chapter 1293 You Threaten Me

Li Xiangqian's heartbeat quickened, and a complex emotion surged in his mind. Anger, confusion, and doubt intertwined to form an inconsolable sense of oppression. Jia Zhang's words did make him a little shaken, as if hinting that the decision he had just made had more complicated consequences. The more he tried to sort out these complex relationships, the more he found himself unable to extricate himself from them.

"You're threatening me?" Li Xiangqian sneered, anger building up in his heart. "Do you think I'll change my decision because of what you said? I saved people. It was my own choice. It has nothing to do with you."

There was a barely perceptible coldness in Jia Zhang's eyes. She moved slightly closer and whispered, "Do you think I'm saying this to scare you? No, you're wrong. I'm saying this to let you know that you are not alone. There is something behind you that you cannot bear. If you continue to do this, I guarantee that you will regret it in the end."

Li Xiangqian couldn't help but frown. He began to feel a sense of crisis. He could sense the threat in Jia Zhang's tone, and there seemed to be some invisible force behind her ready to make a move. Her words were like a provocation to a secret fear deep in his heart. That fear was like a tight string that could break at any time, bringing unforeseen consequences.

He stopped moving, his eyes became thoughtful, but he didn't flinch. He still held the old man's hand tightly, and his eyes no longer avoided Jia Zhang. "What do you want?" Li Xiangqian said firmly. Although he felt uneasy, he knew he had to hold on. He couldn't let Jia Zhang's threats influence his choice.

Jia Zhang seemed to see his struggle, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and said lightly: "You say it easily, but do you really think you can control everything? You saved this old man, but do you know what the price may be? If you do this, you will only sink yourself into a deeper quagmire in the end."

Li Xiangqian's frown relaxed slightly. He raised his head and looked directly at Jia Zhang, his tone unwavering: "I don't know what you are talking about. I only know that what I did was at least worth it to me. If you want to threaten me or scare me in some way, I can only tell you that it's useless."

Jia Zhang stood there, slightly silent, as if thinking about something. Her eyes were no longer sharp, but still carried an invisible pressure. She took a deep breath slowly, gently put down the object in her hand, and seemed to have made some kind of decision.

"Okay." She said lightly, her tone still carrying a hint of coldness. "Since you insist so much, I won't say anything more. But remember, you will be responsible for all the consequences."

Li Xiangqian did not answer, but nodded firmly. At that moment, his heart seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, with both firm determination and unspeakable fear. He knew that every decision he made would bring about some unpredictable consequences. And these consequences might be far beyond his imagination.

Li Xiangqian stood straight, his eyes moved away from Jia Zhang and fell on the old man who was slumped in the corner. The old man's breath was still weak, and his eyes revealed a trace of deep confusion and helplessness, as if he had lost all hope in this corner of the world. Li Xiangqian knew that at this moment, he had to stick to his decision.

Jia Zhang's words were like the wind blowing across his cheeks, stinging but not causing him to fall. He ignored her threats and whispered a few words of comfort to the old man. Although he knew that the old man might not be able to hear clearly at this time, he still couldn't bear to let that indifference cover his heart.

"I'm not afraid." Li Xiangqian's voice was calm, but with a firmness he had never had before. "Your threat did make me a little uneasy, but that's all. I heard everything you said, but it was useless."

Jia Zhang was slightly stunned, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. She did not expect Li Xiangqian to respond to her so calmly. She always believed that although Li Xiangqian was a little stubborn, he could not completely ignore the consequences. After all, everyone would be shaken to varying degrees when facing threats. However, Li Xiangqian in front of her was like a steady stone. Even when the storm swept in, he never wavered.

"Do you really think that if you are not afraid, anything can go away?" Jia Zhang sneered, "What do you think this blind persistence can bring you? You are just one person, without any support behind you. If you really don't care about the consequences, then just wait and see who will clean up your mess in the end."

Her words were like a cold blade, cutting through the air, bringing a piercing chill. Li Xiangqian's eyes remained calm, even cool. He held the old man's hand tightly, without a trace of hesitation in his heart.

"If this is what you call the consequence, then I have already prepared for it." Li Xiangqian responded in a low voice, no longer looking at her, but focusing all his attention on the old man in front of him, "I can't predict everything in the future, but I know that this person in front of me needs help. I saved him not because of what you said, but because I want to do it myself."

Jia Zhang's face changed slightly. She didn't say anything, but just stood there, staring at Li Xiangqian's back. She began to realize that she couldn't make him change his mind by threatening him. Li Xiangqian's determination surprised her. She had always thought that no matter who it was, they would be afraid and compromise when faced with such a method. However, it now seemed that Li Xiangqian was not someone who could be easily shaken.

"You really don't know how to live or die." She gritted her teeth lightly, with disdain in her tone, "You are much tougher than I thought."

Li Xiangqian did not respond to her. He had sensed something unusual in her words. Jia Zhang did not seem to be ready to give up. Instead, she was waiting for a chance, waiting for a chance that she felt was enough to put pressure on him. Her cold eyes were still fixed on him, as if she wanted to see through him.

Li Xiangqian's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly had an uneasy premonition. He raised his head and looked at Jia Zhang with a vigilant look. This feeling was not a threat from the outside world, but a kind of alertness from deep in his heart. He knew that Jia Zhang was by no means a simple person. Her threats were not empty words. There was an unspoken purpose behind them, and her every move was quietly affecting the situation around her.
