Chapter 102: Hero Saves the Beauty
Murong Wan felt immense remorse, regretting that she had stepped into this wolf's den.
"General Manager Wang, I really can't drink any more."
She used up her last ounce of strength, her voice weak as a mosquito.
"Can't drink? That won't do!"
Wang Mingzhi's face darkened, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes,
"Today, you must drink this wine!"
He said, then intended to lay a hand on Murong Wan,
Just as the situation hung by a thread, a cold voice rang out in the private room.
"Stop!"
The voice was not loud, yet it cracked like thunder in everyone's ears.
Wang Mingzhi's movement froze; he turned his head and saw a young man standing at the doorway, his face grim, eyes icy.
It was Jiangnan!
Murong Wan snapped her eyes open, a flash of surprise crossing them before dimming again.
How could he be here?
Could it be a hallucination?
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in my affairs?"
Wang Mingzhi snapped back to his senses, glaring at Jiangnan.
Jiangnan ignored him, walked straight to Murong Wan's side, and scooped her into his arms.
"Are you okay?"
His voice was low, with a hint of concern.
Murong Wan shook her head, tears welling up again.
She didn't know what to say, feeling utterly aggrieved and scared.
"Kid, you're courting death!"
Wang Mingzhi, seeing Jiangnan disregard him, instantly boiled with anger and shame.
He swung his fists and charged at Jiangnan.
Jiangnan's gaze hardened, his body shifted slightly, evading Wang Mingzhi's attack.
Then he lifted a foot and kicked Wang Mingzhi hard in the stomach.
Wang Mingzhi let out a pained howl, his body flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the floor.
The private room erupted into chaos.
Several senior executives rose, accusing Jiangnan.
"How dare you lay a hand on someone!"
"That's too arrogant!"
"Call the police, arrest him!"
Jiangnan coldly scanned the crowd, his eyes full of contempt.
"You all, want to call the police?"
He pulled a phone from his pocket and waved it before everyone.
"Do you want me to call Yang Ju of the Public Security Bureau right now?"
His voice wasn't loud, yet carried undeniable authority.
The room fell silent instantly, a pin could be heard dropping.
The senior executives exchanged glances, a hint of panic flashing in their eyes.
Yang Ju, that was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Usually it's hard to even see him once; this young man actually knows Yang Ju?
For a moment, the once noisy room seemed muted as if a mute button had been pressed.
Only Wang Mingzhi, clutching his stomach, crawled up from the floor, his face full of resentment.
He staggered to Jiangnan's side, bearing the pain, gritting his teeth.
"Kid, so what if you know Yang Ju?"
Wang Mingzhi's gaze was venomous, fixed on Jiangnan.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Have you ever considered the consequences of crossing me?"
His voice was hoarse, tinged with threat.
Jiangnan gave a contemptuous smile, his eyes brimming with disdain.
"Who are you?"
"Do I need to know?"
He slowly looked around, his gaze sweeping each person.
"I only know that from now on, you will all spend your days in prison."
Jiangnan's voice was icy, like a judgment from hell,
"Your assets, your companies, will turn to ash and vanish."
When he finished, the room fell silent, then erupted in uproarious laughter.
"Hahaha…"
"This kid's gone mad, right?"
"Who does he think he is? God?"
"He still lets us go to prison? That's hilarious!"
"So what about Yang Ju? The Public Security Bureau isn't his family business!"
"He still wants our company to go bankrupt? Does he think he's the stock god Buffett?"
"My group, Wang, is thriving now; on what grounds do you say it will go bankrupt?"
"Young man, you don't talk big talk like that!"
Mocking voices and jeering laughter rose and fell, surging toward Jiangnan like a tide.
Wang Mingzhi laughed even harder, rolling on the floor, tears about to spill.
"Kid, have you watched too many movies?"
"Do you really think you're a savior?"
"Let me tell you, in this world, money can make ghosts grind the mill!"
"Do you think, just with your words, you can strip us of everything?"
"It's simply a fool's dream!"
He pointed at Jiangnan, his face full of mockery.
"I've Wang Mingzhi, having scraped and struggled in the business world for years; what great storm haven't I seen?"
"Just you, you think you can make me bankrupt?"
"You're still a bit naive!"
Wang Mingzhi's laughter echoed in the private room, unbearably shrill.
Jiangnan listened quietly to everyone's mockery, his face showing no ripple.
He merely gave a faint smile, as if watching a comedy performance.
"You all, don't you believe?"
Jiangnan's voice was low, with a hint of playfulness.
"Of course not!"
Wang Mingzhi was adamant.
"On what basis do we trust you?"
"Just because you know Yang Ju?"
"Stop joking, Yang Ju isn't omnipotent!"
"Can he even control our company's operations?"
"What a colossal joke!"
The other several CEOs also chimed in, their tones extremely mocking,
Facing the doubts, Jiangnan remained calm, as if everything were under his control.
Suddenly, the private room door was pushed open.
A figure appeared at the doorway.
President Yun, Di Jiang Group's ***, walked in slowly.
She scanned the crowd, finally fixing her gaze on Jiangnan.
President Yun's expression was solemn, her eyes bearing a hint of awe.
"What Mr. Jiang said is all true."
President Yun spoke, her voice low and powerful.
The private room fell silent instantly, everyone was stunned.
President Yun, a titan of the business world, whose stomp could make the whole city tremble three times.
She actually said that this young man's words are true?
How could that be possible?
Wang Mingzhi's smile froze, a flash of panic in his eyes.
He opened his mouth to speak, but found his throat dry, unable to sound a word.
The others also looked at each other, eyes full of disbelief.
President Yun stepped before Jiangnan, bowing slightly.
"Sorry, boss, I'm late."
Her tone was respectful, her demeanor humble.
Those words rang out like a thunderclap, exploding through the private room.
"Boss?"
President Yun actually called Jiangnan boss?
"What... what on earth is going on?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, their minds blank.
They stared blankly at Jiangnan, eyes full of shock and confusion.
Wang Mingzhi seemed struck by lightning, his body rigid, his face ashen.
He never imagined he could offend such a big figure.
Di Jiang Group, that's a presence the small companies look up to.
Compared with Di Jiang Group, they are as tiny as ants.
And Jiangnan, is actually the boss of Di Jiang Group?
This is even more absurd than a tale from Arabian Nights.
But Chief Yun's attitude was so genuine, leaving no room for doubt.
Wang Mingzhi only felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, instantly spreading through his entire body.
His body trembled, his legs went weak, and he almost couldn't stay upright.
The others were no better; each had a pallid face, their eyes filled with terror.
They finally understood that this time they had truly hit a solid wall.
No, not an iron plate, but a steel plate, an existence harder than steel itself.
