In the darkness, Bai Zhirui’s forehead was covered in large beads of sweat. She dialed the front desk phone over and over again, but could never get through. She knew Bai Fen’s patience had run out. After throwing the room phone aside, she discovered that at so unknown point, soone had cut the phone line.
Bai Zhirui’s hands and feet rapidly grew cold, losing sensation at a perceptible rate. She watched helplessly as her body gradually froze.
Bai Zhirui scread in terror but found she couldn’t even make a sound.
Fear, panic, and despair instantly overwheld her.
Was she... going to die?
She was afraid of living, and also afraid of dying an obscure death. She, Bai Zhirui, had never lived for herself in this life. She truly didn’t want to die feeling so wronged.
Suddenly, THUD.
The door panel collapsed onto the carpet.
A lively figure rushed in.
Bai Zhirui’s eyes had already gone blind. She could feel herself being held in a soft embrace.
Who was that...?
Zhang Jing secretly carried Bai Zhirui out of the guest room and quietly brought her to a car waiting in the underground parking garage.
Aunt Ning was sitting inside the car. Seeing Bai Zhirui’s condition, her expression turned very grim as she began inserting acupuncture needles.
"The Bai Family mbers are still so insidious."
Zhang Jing, barely catching her breath, asked, "Can she be saved?"
"She can be saved. The one who drugged her was truly vicious. They deliberately reduced the dosage to prolong her suffering before death, making her gradually lose her senses and ultimately die in despair."
Zhang Jing was anxious. "She is quite pitiful. But is it really useful for Sister Bing to save her? She used to oppose Sister Bing."
"If she’s alive, it’s beneficial for Xiaobing to take over the Bai Family. Previously, to make her obediently serve the Bai Family, they told her many things Bai Fen didn’t know. The Bai Family only abandoned her when she beca disabled."
Aunt Ning’s hands never stopped. She knew the hardship of being confined to a wheelchair. Although Bai Zhirui was hateful, she was also pitiful. After enduring a year of inhuman tornt, she must have grown as well.
At the seminar’s evening banquet, Fu Bing and Yang Ningzheng both attended.
President Han, as he had for the previous three days, kept Fu Bing by his side throughout. Yang Ningzheng, anwhile, used the free networking ti to interact with people he found interesting or who might be useful for Fu Bing’s platform in the future.
Just as he was speaking, a mocking voice rang out.
"Even the dog I raised can sit at the table now. It seems my dog training thods are quite effective."
Liu Xinping’s eyes blazed with fury. If it weren’t for Yang Ningzheng’s sudden resignation, his group wouldn’t have been so thoroughly undermined. It must have been Yang Ningzheng who leaked his group’s confidential information, dealing him a severe blow.
Seeing it was Liu Xinping, everyone imdiately stepped back, clearly not wanting to get involved in the dispute.
Yang Ningzheng glanced coolly at Liu Xinping. The man’s eyes were dark-circled, his expression weary; he looked utterly exhausted, as if he had suffered a serious blow.
"President Liu, long ti no see," Yang Ningzheng greeted him with cold indifference. He saw no need to be cordial to soone who didn’t respect him. Liu Xinping, revered all his life, had never paid any mind to those with lesser family backgrounds than his own.
Having suffered such a public humiliation, he was determined to make Yang Ningzheng lose face as well. If he failed, he might as well change his surna!
"Yang, I painstakingly cultivated you all these years. Even if there’s no great rit, there’s certainly been hard work. As long as you crawl between my legs in front of these colleagues, I’ll let bygones be bygones," Liu Xinping said, looking at Yang Ningzheng with smug satisfaction.
The crowd looked on, eager for drama. Liu Xinping was known as the mad dog of their circle, biting anyone he encountered. Even though Liu Pharmaceutical was currently facing problems, a lean cal is still bigger than a horse. Liu Xinping could still swagger around.
Bai Fen also relished the unfolding spectacle. He wanted to see how Fu Bing’s capable assistant would be humiliated! No matter how unyielding Yang Ningzheng was, he couldn’t possibly turn against Liu Xinping.
Yang Ningzheng remained expressionless. "You should open your eyes and clearly assess your situation. If I were you, I’d be focused on closing as many deals as possible tonight, not rushing to embarrass ." Yang Ningzheng’s voice was like gold striking jade—clear and resolute.
He was tall and stood straight. In contrast, Liu Xinping was corpulent and diocre, like an arrogant side character in a TV drama who wouldn’t survive the first episode.
Many of the female representatives at the conference found their gazes drawn to Yang Ningzheng, their eyes unconsciously filled with admiration.
"You’ve never understood why Liu Pharmaceutical was so easily undermined, why its subsidiaries collapsed one after another," Yang Ningzheng continued. "It’s because of you! You don’t respect others; you don’t treat them as human beings. People can be deceived for a while, but not forever."
Liu Xinping flew into a rage out of sha. "A dog is still a dog, resorting to glib words and fawning expressions!"
"According to your logic, you’re my dog now. Co on, bark a couple of tis for us to hear," Qin Jinhai’s voice suddenly interjected.
Everyone looked at him in astonished disbelief. He was openly defending Fu Bing’s associate.
Could it an...?
Liu Xinping’s face turned the color of liver. He was aware of the animosity between Qin Jinhai and Fu Bing and had counted on Qin Jinhai not intervening. He never expected Qin Jinhai to embarrass him for the sake of soone as insignificant as Yang Ningzheng.
"Chairman Qin, this..."
"It’s just barking like a dog, isn’t it? You’ve watched your company employees do it for so many years, you must have grasped the essence of it by now. Don’t let your talent go to waste," Qin Jinhai said, his arms crossed, eyes downcast, an impatient expression on his face.
Liu Xinping felt like he was being roasted over an open fla. To bark or not to bark, that was the question. He desperately wished the ground would crack open so he could crawl inside.
"What are you waiting for?" Qin Jinhai urged coldly.
Liu Xinping’s face turned beet red as he forced out two barks: "WOOF! WOOF!"
After a mont of silence, the room erupted in uproarious laughter. Liu Xinping was overwheld with sha.
Fu Bing and President Han stood not far away, watching.
Fu Bing asked, "Do we need to step in?"
President Han replied, "The Liu Family has dominated the market for years, listening to no one. The higher-ups have long wanted to deal with them but lacked a suitable replacent. Qin Jinhai is the best person to act as the ’blade’ for this."
Fu Bing gazed at the striking figure in the crowd. That person seed to sense her gaze and looked over. Their eyes t across the crowd. Neither spoke.
His posture was like a sword, like a blade. Everyone wanted to use his strength to topple their targets. A man as clever as him couldn’t possibly be unaware.
What was he thinking?
Qin Jinhai flashed a radiant smile. Fu Bing felt as if the entire space brightened with his smile. He seed to rge with the image of the ruthless, blood-soaked young man from that sumr night ten years ago. And yet, a pure, startling joy glinted in the depths of his eyes.
When Bai Fen saw Qin Jinhai appear, he imdiately began searching the venue for Fu Bing. As expected, he saw Fu Bing beside President Han. He had deliberately created an opportunity for Fu Bing to rescue Bai Zhirui, so he could then pin Bai Zhirui’s death on Fu Bing.
Now, with Fu Bing here, Bai Zhirui’s life hadn’t served its intended purpose. Bai Fen was furious!
At that mont, his phone rang.
"Fu Bing’s bodyguard has already rescued the person!"
A triumphant glee filled Bai Fen, and he walked smugly towards Fu Bing.
Fu Bing, aware that Bai Fen had co prepared, quietly exchanged a few words with President Han. President Han then went to discuss further cooperation with Jian Huang.
Seeing Fu Bing alone, Bai Fen’s smugness intensified.
If Fu Bing sleeps with , and if it’s good after I’ve had a taste, I’m willing to lighten her punishnt!
