Chapter 1182 How much are you offering?
Liu Li revealed a charming smile, walked with a model's gait, swaying her waist, and approached Pete with a charming and alluring appearance: "Sir, I promised to sell it to you, but after he found out, he has been chasing after me relentlessly."
I couldn't get rid of him, so I brought him along.
Ye Changqing narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze piercing through the slits as he stared at Liu Li for a long time.
At this moment, he was filled with rage. He had been tricked. The "Ten Treatises of Mohism" was on this woman, but she claimed that she had already sold it.
He subconsciously clenched his fist, staring at Liu Li, hesitating whether to make a move.
Pete turned to Ye Changqing: "Hey, sir, did you hear that?"
She's here to make a deal with me. You'd better leave, or else...
Ye Changqing frowned: "Otherwise what?"
Pete said coldly, "Otherwise, I'll take action and cripple you. I'll just pay for your medical treatment; I have plenty of money."
Ye Changqing felt a surge of anger. As a local, he did not use his status to bully foreigners with no background in his own country; this was a matter of his character.
But this foreigner actually bullied him.
And yet they remain so arrogant.
Just as he was about to speak, Liu Li spoke up: "Ye Changqing, did you hear that? They're foreigners. Even if they cripple you, they'll just pay you compensation at most. Their one dollar is worth seven dollars to us, so they don't care about a little money at all."
You'd better leave quickly.
Ye Changqing stepped forward and said coldly, "Have you forgotten who I am?"
Liu Li instinctively took a step back, touched her face, and felt a burning pain, which made her angry and embarrassed: "Your status is only impressive in front of me."
But they are foreigners, so even the police have no jurisdiction over them.
They're not ordinary people. If a fight breaks out, even if they kill you, you won't have to pay with your life; they have diplomatic immunity.
When Ye Changqing saw that Liu Li thought she had found a powerful backer after meeting the foreigner, and her words and expressions were full of arrogance, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Your backer is made of paper, it's not reliable. Have you thought about the consequences after your backer falls?"
Liu Li snorted coldly: "Scared? So you're starting to threaten me?"
I am not a three-year-old child; I have my own judgment.
You say they're made of paper, don't you think you're just fooling yourself?
Do you dare to touch them?
Hum~"
Ye Changqing nodded: "Great, I'll give it a try."
After saying that, he walked towards Pete.
When Pete saw Ye Changqing approaching, a disdainful look appeared on his lips: "Kid, do you want to fight me?"
Ye Changqing's face was icy: "I want to give it a try."
Try?
Pete smirked and tilted his chin back as he looked at Ye Changqing, saying, "Don't make a move yet, let me ask you a question?"
Ye Changqing frowned: "What's the problem?"
Pete said coldly, "Do you know what MMA is?"
You might know a little about it, since MMA is popular all over the world and everyone knows about mixed martial arts, but there are too many rules and too many restrictions, and I'm tired of it.
Now I can play Vale Tudo. You might not understand foreign languages, so let me explain. Vale Tudo means that everything is allowed. Fists, knees, elbows, even teeth, fingers, can be used to fight.
This is a true life-or-death struggle!
Either life or death.
You dare? "
Ye Changqing said coldly, "I dare not, and I don't like fighting. Please leave. The book this woman brought is mine."
A sneer flashed in Pete's eyes: "You still dare to covet that book? You're fucking asking for death."
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a powerful swinging punch at Ye Changqing.
Ye Changqing ducked to avoid the powerful swing punch, then lunged forward, his right fist slamming into Pete's stomach the instant he closed in.
bang~
There was a muffled sound.
Pete's tall body was thrown backward as if hit by a speeding truck, crashing into the wall and shaking the house before landing heavily on the floor.
Liu Li stared wide-eyed at the scene in shock, completely stunned. It wasn't until dust from the rooftop began to fall and get into her eyes that she rubbed them, took two steps back, and waved her hand to brush away the dust falling from the roof.
The gaze fell on Pete again.
There was a deep crater in Pete's chest, and blood soaked his clothes before spreading to the ground and quickly pooling into a puddle.
She was so frightened that her legs went weak.
Ye Changqing turned and walked up to Liu Li, holding out his hand: "Give it to me!"
Liu Li took two steps back in fright, staring at Ye Changqing in terror: "You...you...you killed him?"
Ye Changqing said coldly, "It's a life-or-death duel. He's a waste of his own time, it's none of my business."
Liu Li stared at Ye Changqing in horror: "You...you killed someone...you...how dare you?"
Ye Changqing said calmly, "He fought me to the death, can't I kill him?"
Liu Li pointed at Pete on the ground: "He's a foreigner!"
Foreigner?
Ye Changqing turned to look at Johnson and asked coldly, "Do you have a problem with me killing him?"
Johnson was quietly moving towards the window along the wall when he stopped in fright, stammering, "No...no objection..."
Ye Changqing looked at Liu Li: "I kill foreigners, and the foreigners have no objections. Do you have an objection?"
I……
Liu Li was so frightened that she took two steps back: "I...I...I..."
He said "I" several times in a row, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
She was truly dumbfounded. In the past, Pitt and Johnson were arrogant and acted recklessly, completely disregarding domestic laws and people.
Now I'm even afraid.
Ye Changqing stretched out his hand: "Give me 'Ten Treatises of the Mohist School'!"
Liu Li hurriedly reached into her bosom and pulled out a book, carefully handing it to Ye Changqing: "Here you go... so you can't cause me any more trouble."
Ye Changqing reached out and took the "Ten Treatises of the Mohist School." Turning to a page, he saw the first treatise, Universal Love, which advocated loving all people without distinction of rank, distance, or kinship. Its aim was to prevent "the strong robbing the weak, the many oppressing the few, the deceitful plotting against the foolish, and the noble being arrogant towards the lowly," and to ensure that "the hungry are fed, the cold are clothed, and the weary are rested." "Love" and "benefit" are inseparable; it advocated "mutual love and mutual benefit."
The second argument is about valuing the virtuous: the state should select talents based on both ability and virtue. "Virtuous" refers to those who are "profound in virtue, eloquent in speech, and well-versed in the ways of the world." The idea is to replace the hereditary nobles who are neither talented nor virtuous, and to select people who meet the criteria of "virtuous." The principle is that "officials are not permanently noble, and the people are not permanently lowly; those who are capable should be promoted."
The third argument against fatalism: He opposes determinism, arguing that fate does not exist, and that a person's wealth or poverty, or a nation's order or chaos, rise or fall, are not determined by fate, but by the degree of human effort. He advocates changing the status quo through active human effort, believing that "strength leads to order, weakness to chaos; strength leads to peace, weakness to danger."
The fourth point, on frugal funerals, was a reform of the funeral system. He opposed the Confucian system of elaborate burials and prolonged mourning, arguing that such a system wasted a great deal of resources and time, and affected production and daily life. He advocated simple burials and short mourning periods, so that people could be freed from the mourning period as soon as possible and return to normal production and life.
Fifth Thesis…………
Upon seeing this, Ye Changqing was amazed; it was truly visionary.
More than 2400 years ago, someone actually put forward the same ideas about values that society pursues today.
Indeed, they were wise men of the past.
But someone actually wanted to sell this kind of book.
He looked up at Liu Li and asked, "Let me ask you something: how much do you sell this book for?"
Liu Li stammered, "No...not much...I just ran out of money...I had no choice but to sell it. My father died and needs to be buried. I also lost my job. I was forced by life to sell it for a little living expenses."
Ye Changqing turned to look at Johnson, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and said, word by word, "How much are you offering?"
Tell the truth if you don't want to die!
Johnson glanced at Liu Li, hesitant, but when his eyes met Ye Changqing's sharp gaze, he was so frightened that he quickly said, "120 million."
