The leader of the city team narrowed his eyes and stared hard at Li Xiang. After a moment of silence, he spoke: "No trying to extort us if you get hurt or killed."
"I won't. And you can't hurt me," Li Xiang said coolly.
The leader grew even more irritated. He yelled to the people behind him, "Did the drone get all that? He said he won't try to extort us."
Soon, a team member replied, "Got it! We've been recording the whole time!"
Faced with the impending conflict, both sides had already started filming long before Li Xiang and his group arrived.
Everyone wanted to preserve evidence that the other side started it. Although it would be considered a mutual fight regardless of who struck first, striking second in self-defense always put you on slightly higher moral ground.
"We got it on camera, too!" Lei Jiaming's side called out.
Jiang Jianguo wanted to say a few words to de-escalate, but after a glance at Li Xiang, he launched a drone and started recording as well.
