Chapter 111: It's on Fire

Cheng Peng had absolutely no idea that he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.

He could never have imagined just how terrifying the consequences of provoking this man would be.

At this moment, he merely assumed Li Sichen was frightened by his words.

With a smug smile, his tone remained as arrogant as ever. "What’s the matter? Scared now? Then behave yourself, get down on your knees, and put your hands behind your head! As long as you cooperate, you’ll suffer less physical pain!"

Gao Zixi was furious and demanded, "Is this place a KTV or a prison? What right do you have to restrict our freedom? Is there no rule of law anymore?"

"Rule of law? Heh, in this place, I am the law!" Cheng Peng’s arrogance and vanity reached their peak at that moment.

Gao Zixi was too incensed to speak.

Li Sichen raised his hand and patted her shoulder twice, a gesture of comfort. He then turned to look at Cheng Peng and smiled. "I think your KTV really doesn't want to stay open any longer. As for you, you really don't want to live a good life anymore, do you?"

Although he was smiling, his tone was cold to the extreme. Everyone who heard those words couldn't help but shiver, feeling a chill rise from the depths of their souls.

Cheng Peng was also taken aback.

His first instinct was that Li Sichen must have a powerful background. Otherwise, how would he dare to threaten to shut down the KTV and make his life miserable?

But soon, Cheng Peng dismissed the thought.

As the general manager of the KTV, Cheng Peng’s eyes had long been trained.

At a single glance, he saw that Li Sichen’s attire was very ordinary. From head to toe, he was wearing cheap knock-offs; there wasn't a single branded item, let alone luxury gear.

Someone like this was just a pathetic loser; how could he possibly have a powerful background?

"This kid is just putting on a show to scare me!"

Cheng Peng made his judgment instantly.

Consequently, he dismissed Li Sichen’s words entirely and retorted with a sneer, "Oh, my! Such big talk! You want to shut down our KTV? You want to make my life miserable? Who do you think you are? The President? Hmph, go ahead, I’d love to see how you make us shut down and how you make my life miserable!"

Lin Siyu stepped forward and whispered into Li Sichen’s ear, "Don't worry, I’ll call my sister right now. We must make this unscrupulous KTV shut down!"

Li Sichen shook his head. "No need to disturb your sister. A small matter like this is something I can handle myself."

A small matter?

Lin Siyu was stunned.

In Yongcheng, this KTV was one of the best in terms of both class and scale. To make it shut down was not something an ordinary person could achieve. How did it become a "small matter" in Li Sichen’s mouth?

Was Li Sichen unaware of the KTV’s background, or did he really have a way?

Just as Lin Siyu was confused, Li Sichen had already begun to walk toward the side.

Everyone was watching him, all guessing what he was about to do.

Everyone had heard the harsh words Li Sichen had just dropped. They were all curious about what methods he would use to force the KTV to close and ruin Cheng Peng’s life.

Of course, the vast majority of them believed Li Sichen was just bluffing and that he couldn't possibly pull it off.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Li Sichen walked to a spot on the left side of the lobby and stomped his feet forcefully a few times.

Although all eyes were on him, no one noticed that as he stomped, a rusty iron nail dropped from his hand and was driven deep into the hard marble floor by the force of his strikes.

This rusty iron nail was a coffin nail.

Immediately afterward, Li Sichen turned and went to another location, where he tapped on a concrete pillar a few times.

Another coffin nail was driven into the pillar.

Then, he walked to yet another location, continuing to leave behind more coffin nails.

If a master skilled in Feng Shui were present, they would have certainly realized that Li Sichen was altering the Feng Shui of the KTV!

Once successful, the KTV’s Feng Shui would transform from its current "Treasure Gathering Basin" layout into a "Myriad Malignancies" formation.

In Feng Shui, the "Myriad Malignancies" formation is extremely malevolent!

If such a layout appears in a home, it inevitably causes the residents to become weak and sickly, while also fostering disputes and conflicts among relatives and neighbors. From then on, there would be no peace in the household, and everything would go wrong!

Similarly, this layout brings no good results to a commercial venue.

Any shop operating within a "Myriad Malignancies" layout, regardless of the business, will face constant trouble and frequent accidents, making it impossible for the business to continue!

Unfortunately, Cheng Peng knew nothing of Feng Shui and could not see what Li Sichen was doing.

He scoffed mockingly, "Kid, what are you doing pacing around like that? Do you think that by wandering around like a headless fly, you can make our KTV shut down? Hahaha… you’re too funny! Did you forget to take your medicine before leaving the house today?"

Not only was Cheng Peng confused, but the surrounding crowd was equally baffled.

"What exactly is this kid doing, pacing around like that?"

"I don't get it..."

"Has he been scared stupid? Looking at these actions, he doesn't seem like a normal person."

For a moment, all sorts of speculations arose.

Li Sichen ignored the crowd's chatter and continued to alter the Feng Shui on his own.

After driving the final coffin nail into the wall, he clapped his hands and nodded with satisfaction. "Done!"

"Done? Done what?"

People were puzzled once more.

"Playing god and acting like a ghost," Cheng Peng said with even greater disdain.

But at that very moment, a series of panicked screams suddenly rang out from upstairs.

In just a few seconds, more and more people began screaming, the sound growing louder and more chaotic.

Soon, the people gathered in the lobby saw groups of panicked customers rushing down from the upper floors.

As they ran, they shouted, "Run! The KTV is on fire!"

The KTV is on fire?

This sudden news left everyone in the lobby stunned.

Immediately afterward, many saw thick, rolling smoke pouring down from the floors above.

"The KTV really is on fire!"

"Run!"

Now, the onlookers in the lobby were also thrown into a panic, screaming as they fled toward the exit.

The security guards blocking the door were instantly swept away by the panicked crowd.
