“Wang Chong… You’re Chong gongzi!”
Sun Zhiming became dumbstruck the moment he realized this fact. Wang Chong’s bravery in speaking up against the regional commanders policy despite the hostility from the Hu and his imprisonment had become something no one didn’t know of in Great Tang.
Sun Zhiming didn’t expect the one who appeared and stood up to Deng Mingxin for him would be that Wang Chong. In an instant, Sun Zhiming’s heart began to beat wildly in agitation.
“Wang gongzi, there’s no grudge between us so why must you stand against me?”
Deng Mingxin glared at Wang Chong with a dark expression.
Upon learning of Wang Chong’s identity and seeing King Song’s token in his hand, it was clear that he had picked a fight with the wrong person this time.
“Where did your arrogance go to? Why? Are you going to give in now?”
Wang Chong said coldly as he nonchalantly tidied his robe.
“But regardless, I only have a message for you. Sun Zhiming’s affairs shall be my affair from now on!”
These words left an incomparably grave expression on Deng Mingxin’s face.
“Wang gongzi, do you really intend to go to such extents?”
Deng Mingxin took in a deep breath. Knowing that there was no way to settle this matter amiably anymore, he decided to just go all in.
“My background might be inferior to you but there’s nothing for you to be gleeful about. There are plenty of people who can trample over you in this Kunwu Training Camp. King Song might possess immense influence, but there’s still a King Qi standing above him. ——Sun Zhiming, you better think it over and decide whether you’ll go with me or him. You should know better the result of offending King Qi. By then, it won’t just be a matter of your father being stripped of his position!”
He was determined to keep Sun Zhiming. It wasn’t just for the matter of whether he could get into Kunwu Training Camp or not. Rather, Sun Zhiming was the only talent he had received from his father.
Even that person had said that Sun Zhiming possessed immense talent and instructed him to grasp onto him tightly. As long as Sun Zhiming remained under him, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to accomplish great things in the future.
Furthermore, he was also depending on Sun Zhiming to join King Qi’s faction.
He didn’t mind Wang Chong teaching his lackeys a lesson, and he was fine with his pride being trampled upon as well. However, Sun Zhiming was one thing he couldn’t compromise on.
“Hmph!”
Seeing that Deng Mingxin was still threatening Sun Zhiming at this moment, Wang Chong’s rage flurried.
If Sun Zhiming continued to follow Deng Mingxin, it would only be a matter of time before he was destroyed. Since Deng Mingxin was willing to use his background and King Qi’s name to force Sun Zhiming into submission, then Wang Chong didn’t mind using his lustrous background to teach that despicable scum a lesson.
“Deng Mingxin, I finally understand why you dare to speak so arrogantly. I see, so you’ve decided to side with King Qi. However, do you think that that makes a difference?”
Wang Chong sneered coldly. Since Deng Mingxin was unwilling to release Sun Zhiming and was using his background to threaten the latter, the other party shouldn’t blame him for getting nasty.
“Hmph, Deng Mingxin, if I recall correctly, your father’s name is Deng Zhou, right? Fine! You and your father can return to the countryside tomorrow!”
