Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Let the Slapping Be More Intense

“He must be a devil.”

“Terrifying. He’s just too terrifying.” Everyone, not just those Wu Tian had maimed and left lying on the ground, was now breaking out in a cold sweat.

They had never seen or heard of Wu Tian’s methods. His martial prowess was something beyond human capability, leaving them all stunned. Endless fear filled their eyes, with the sole exception of Qin Yuhan.

Maybe he is a devil, but he’s my devil, here to protect me, Qin Yuhan thought. She was truly at her wit’s end with Zhang Liangcai. Under his coercion, she had felt a humiliation she had never known before. If not for Wu Tian, even if she, as the president, wouldn’t cry, her mood would have been utterly ruined.

However, Qin Yuhan was worried about something else. The men Wu Tian had just crippled, now writhing and wailing on the floor, were no ordinary people. They were veterans of the business world, and their companies and factories had been handed down to their sons and grandsons. Connected, these forces were a power that not even the Qin Family, one of the four great families of Yang City, could afford to contend with.

Qin Yuhan wasn’t worried about the Qin Family, but for Wu Tian’s safety.

Of course, Wu Tian knew what she was thinking. He sighed internally. Silly woman! How could these good-for-nothings possibly threaten me?

Wu Tian reached his left hand into his pocket. Qin Yuhan and the others standing around frowned, wondering what he was doing. What’s in his pocket? A knife? Is he going to kill someone?

But Wu Tian simply took out his phone, sent a few text messages, and slipped it back into his pocket.

What was that for? Qin Yuhan and the others were perplexed.

A moment later, the phone in the president’s office suddenly rang. The receptionist’s voice came through the line. “Miss, there are several people here who say they have an appointment to see you.”

“Hm?” Qin Yuhan was confused. Who would be visiting her at a time like this?

“Let them up,” Wu Tian said.

Qin Yuhan gave Wu Tian a long, deep look, knowing this had to be his doing. Trusting him, she spoke into the phone, “Let them come up.”

The first visitor’s voice arrived before he did.

“Who dares to cause trouble at the Qin Corporation? Do they think nothing of me?”

The voice was booming and powerful. When Xiao Tianzan, the Governor of the Southern Province and the Admiral of the Nine Gates, arrived, countless hearts began to pound.

Qin Yuhan herself was taken aback. Although the Qin Family was one of Yang City’s four great families, what had they ever done to merit a visit from such a dignitary? And why was he here?

“I, Xiao Tianzan, will make this clear right now,” he declared. “I will investigate anyone who opposes the Qin Corporation and see if their own businesses have any illegal dealings.”

Tang Bogo and the others stared, their eyes wide. The Qin Corporation was backed by the Admiral of the Nine Gates?

The men Wu Tian had crippled, still crying on the floor, were filled with regret. How could this be? It turned out Yuhan had the Admiral of the Nine Gates as her backer. If only they had known sooner, they would never have dared to act this way.

Zhang Liangcai, you bastard! Every single person wailing in agony on the ground now hated Zhang Liangcai to the core.

As for Zhang Liangcai, his throat was still in Wu Tian’s grip. He struggled for breath, unable to die. Suffering a fate worse than death, he hated himself. Why didn’t I investigate properly beforehand?

Learning of Xiao Tianzan’s arrival, Ren Zhong and his son Ren Hou were also bewildered. Why would a major figure like Xiao Tianzan come to the Qin Corporation? As soon as they got the news, they left the dining department, their meter-long lobster not even half-eaten.

“Father, did you invite Governor Xiao Tianzan as well?” Ren Hou asked, his face a mask of surprise and admiration. “You even have connections with the Admiral of the Nine Gates? Father, I don’t think I could manage to invite someone like him in my entire lifetime.”

“Uh… yes. We’ve met before,” Ren Zhong stammered. His son had never looked at him with such fiery admiration before, and he couldn’t bring himself to admit the truth.

In reality, he didn’t know a personage like the Admiral of the Nine Gates at all; he had only ever seen him on television. But Ren Zhong figured Zhang Liangcai had probably invited him, and it had nothing to do with Qin Yuhan. When Ren Zhong and Qin Zhengyang were building their business from the ground up, the process had been arduous. If he’d known someone like Xiao Tianzan, how could things have been so difficult? He had also watched Qin Yuhan grow up; there was no way she could have had the opportunity to meet the Admiral of the Nine Gates.

But as they left the dining area and entered the elevator, the father and son ran into another person: Tellam Kuangte. Her arrival had been heavily reported in Yang City’s newspapers and on the news, so of course, Ren Zhong and Ren Hou recognized her.

But why would someone like her come to the Qin Corporation?

What on earth was happening today? Had the sun risen in the west?

Ren Hou had always thought his father was a powerful man, which allowed him to enjoy a privileged life since childhood. Today, he felt he was witnessing the true extent of his father’s influence.

He turned to Tellam and said, “Ms. Tellam, did my father invite you here to help me as well?”

“And you are?” Tellam frowned.

“I’m Ren Hou, and my father is Ren Zhong. You know each other,” Ren Hou said excitedly, trying to step forward and shake her hand, only to be blocked by her bodyguard.

“I don’t know your father,” Tellam said flatly. “So please, don’t bother me.”

SMACK!

Ren Zhong felt his face flush as if he’d been physically slapped, an outcome he had expected.

“I… I’m sorry for the disturbance,” Ren Hou stammered, feeling utterly mortified.

Arriving at the president’s office, Tellam walked in and made her first declaration. “All the major companies have conducted their simulation tests. I am here to announce that the results of this simulation test are valid. There is no need for further testing; these results will be considered final.”

“You mean…” Qin Yuhan began, a hint of hopeful surprise in her voice as she guessed what was coming.

Tellam smiled and walked over to Tang Bogo’s side. “Actually, he’s a friend of mine. Otherwise, Qin Yuhan, do you really think you could have hired him? You weren’t the only one who hired him to prepare the simulation; other companies did as well. I have received all the results, and Wu Tian’s score was the highest. Therefore, I’ve decided to partner with the Qin Corporation.”

What?

Ren Zhong and Ren Hou were completely stunned.

The highest score belongs to Wu Tian? As a Cambridge University graduate, Ren Hou found this impossible to accept.

“Of course,” Tellam continued, “I have one condition.” She pointed at Ren Zhong and Ren Hou. “I detest these two. I hope you will remove them from the Qin Corporation.”

“I understand,” Qin Yuhan nodded.

“You can’t do that!” Ren Zhong shook his head vehemently. “Qin Yuhan, I am a director of this corporation! You don’t have the authority to oust me.”

“And what if all the other directors agree?” Qin Yuhan asked suddenly.

Ren Zhong froze.

That’s right… To secure a partnership with the Kuangte Family, the other directors would definitely agree to kick me out.

A tremor ran through Ren Zhong’s body, but his nightmare wasn’t over. Xiao Tianzan’s sharp gaze was now fixed on him.
