Qin Qi clenched his fists tightly, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and looked towards Old Hu.

Old Hu naturally understood Qin Qi's intention. After thinking it over several times, he finally spoke, "The Governance Department has merely stipulated that neither side is allowed to have any more disputes or conflicts!"

"However, the current matter indeed cannot be classified as a dispute or conflict. I hope, Young Friend Qin Qi, you can remain calm and not act impulsively, violating any rules!"

The hint was all too clear.

Qin Qi now realized.

This Gao Tianshu had premeditated everything.

But the most crucial point is, even though they knew Gao Tianshu was using this to kill their morale, was being provocative, they had no way to counter it!

At this moment, Gao Tianshu suddenly let out a cold laugh and said, "Manager Hu, it's quite normal for Chairman Qin and his people to be unhappy. After all, Chairman Xiao is dead, and those who belonged to Chairman Xiao can't even breathe easily. How could they possibly be happy?"

"However, I do have a relatively comprehensive solution. Manager Hu, Chairman Qin, would you both be willing to listen?"

The members of the Dingshan Association were almost exploding with anger.

This was clearly Gao Tianshu insulting the deceased, yet mocking them for their impotence!

And now hearing the other side's pretentious proposal for a solution.

Qin Qi squinted his eyes.

Old Hu was curious as well and asked, "Chairman Gao, if there's a solution, that would be the best. However, everything must follow the rules of the Governance Department. I am willing to listen carefully!"

"It's very simple!"

Gao Tianshu mocked with a sneer, "Since both sides are mourning the deceased, yet refuse to give way. Why not let Chairman Qin and me stand alone and have a duel!"

"Whoever loses, just takes their people and leaves in disgrace. I just don't know if young Chairman Qin has the guts to accept the challenge!"

As he spoke, Gao Tianshu's gaze was directed at Qin Qi, the teasing intention was all too apparent.

Old Hu stroked his chin. Although he knew all of Gao Tianshu's little tricks, as a manager in the Governance Department, he also knew this plan was indeed feasible!

It's just a duel between the two, it wouldn't escalate the matter, yet could resolve the dispute.

Gao Tianshu pressed on with an aggressive smile, "Chairman Qin, what do you think?"

All eyes were on Qin Qi.

Everyone was also sweating for Qin Qi!

Because everyone knew that Gao Tianshu had already reached the second stage of the True Master level, while Qin Qi had only just entered the level of a True Master.

The gap between the two was like a chasm that was absolutely insurmountable!

"No, Chairman, you absolutely can't agree!"

At this moment, a few close followers of Xiao Qingfeng stood out.

"As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Agreeing now falls right into Gao Tianshu's trap!"

"We are extremely angry as well, but you are responsible for the future of the Dingshan Association. If you'd act impulsively, Dingshan truly would have no future left."

Qin Qi didn't speak, just gazed calmly at Gao Tianshu.

Wanting to see what distinction the aura surrounding Gao Tianshu had compared to his own.

Seeing the attitude from Dingshan Association's side, Gao Tianshu scoffed aloud and burst into laughter, "Oh my, I shouldn't have suggested this plan. I already said, Dingshan Association is just a bunch of cowardly guys!"

"Xiao Qingfeng was just as cowardly back then. Several times I proposed a duel, and he never had the guts to accept the challenge!"

"Unexpectedly, the heir after Xiao Qingfeng's death is the same!"

As Gao Tianshu finished speaking.

A group of his subordinates burst out laughing heartily.

The Dingshan Association's side, hearing Gao Tianshu insult Xiao Qingfeng in front of everyone, was already burning with rage.

However, everyone was enduring it.

They knew, it was a bit early for Qin Qi to take charge now.

Gao Tianshu, with his hands behind his back, added fuel to the fire at the end, "Tsk tsk, alright then, since Chairman Qin really doesn't have the guts, we shall just carry on with our work."

"You guys, keep the music going, keep the drums beating!"

Everyone clenched their fists.

Just when they were planning to swallow this humiliation.

Qin Qi suddenly spoke, "Wait a minute, when did I say I wouldn't accept your proposal?"

Upon hearing Qin Qi's words, Gao Tianshu was overjoyed, immediately turning his head.

What he feared wasn't Qin Qi agreeing, but Qin Qi refusing!

Sure enough, a young man full of vigor wouldn't be able to refuse his instigation!

Today was his best chance to eliminate Qin Qi!

Xiao Qinghong frowned and said, "Qin Qi, don't be impulsive!"

"Chairman, indeed. Gao Tianshu is clearly forcing you to fight. As long as we endure, he has no other methods, you mustn't lose your head!"

"That Gao Tianshu is a second-stage True Master, you're just at the first stage, facing him puts you at a huge disadvantage."

"Chairman, it's still not too late to back out!"

The crowd was chattering incessantly.

Everyone knew that this young individual was the hope of the entire association!

Old Hu also reminded from the side, "Chairman Qin, are you absolutely sure?"

If possible, he also didn't want Qin Qi to make a young impulsive mistake. After all, now everyone knew he was no match for Gao Tianshu.

Gao Tianshu feared that Qin Qi might back down, "Chairman Qin, saying something in front of so many people, that's a promise carved in stone. If you go back on it, it would be incredibly embarrassing!"

All eyes turned to Qin Qi.

Unexpectedly, Qin Qi was not showing any intention to back off; instead, he smiled and said, "Chairman Gao, rest assured; I certainly won't go back on my word. On the contrary, I have an even better suggestion that I'm sure Chairman Gao will fully agree with!"

"Oh?" Gao Tianshu's eyes squinted to a slit, at this moment not knowing what Qin Qi was up to.

Qin Qi's lips curled up, "It's straightforward, in a simple duel, there might be some collisions, fists and feet have no eyes, and it wouldn't be good if we were to hurt each other."

"How about, we sign a life-and-death agreement beforehand, and once the duel ends, life and death are up to fate? Chairman Gao, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Tianshu's once suspicious gaze instantly became sharp and he was thrilled beyond measure.

He could barely contain his smile.

Qin Qi was looking for his own death!

He was afraid Qin Qi wouldn't dare to accept, which is why he never proposed an overly excessive demand.

Who knew Qin Qi would propose the life-and-death agreement himself!

"Hahahaha!"

Gao Tianshu laughed heartily, "Great, let's sign now, immediately, nobody is allowed to back out!"

Qin Qi was digging his own grave, clearly digging his own grave!

And on the Dingshan Association's side, there was an uproar.

"Chairman!"

"Chairman, absolutely not!"

Many had already stepped forward to block Qin Qi.
