A black sedan stopped steadily downstairs of the company building.
When Li Su stepped out, her tailored professional suit made her spine look straight and sharp. Behind her followed a lawyer in a suit and tie carrying a briefcase—Zhang Cheng—his presence calm but imposing.
The moment they entered the conference room, a sharp female voice cut through the air.
“Li Su? How dare you show up!”
Wu Xiaomei slapped the table and stood up. Her carefully made-up face twisted in anger.
“This company was saved by Tianrou, who risked half her life to bring in investors! And you? What did you ever do? Apart from pretending to clean the office like a parasite, freeloading off everyone, what else have you contributed? Now that the company is being sold, you still have the nerve to come and take a share? Is your face made of steel plates?”
“That’s right! Jianchen, you’re just too kind! She was pregnant with a bastard and still dated you, tricked your feelings and used your resources, and now you’re still letting her take money? You’re way too soft-hearted!”
At the head seat, Shen Jianchen frowned deeply, his brows locked into a tight knot. His eyes toward Li Su were full of impatience and disgust, as if she were nothing more than filth.
Li Su let out a cold laugh.
“Lin Tianrou brought in the investment? What a joke. Those investments were clearly—”
“Su Su, don’t say it!”
Lin Tianrou suddenly interrupted her.
Her eyes turned red instantly, tears rolling down like beads.
She grabbed Shen Jianchen’s arm pitifully.
“I know you’re upset. After all, we used to be best friends, and you did contribute to the company too. If saying those investments were yours makes you feel better, then fine—it’s yours, okay? I really don’t mind. I just beg you not to fight with everyone anymore.”
That “reasonable and magnanimous” speech instantly ignited everyone’s anger.
“Li Su, you’re going too far!”
A tall man suddenly stood up—over 1.9 meters, built like a mountain. His muscular frame strained his shirt. He was a professional boxer, the EWD league’s third-place finisher.
Zhao Qiang clenched his fists, knuckles cracking.
“You used to steal Tianrou’s achievements, and now you’re even trying to steal her life-saving investment? Just for more money, you’ve got no shame left?”
“Back then I let you off because we were coworkers. But you’ve already been fired. If you keep causing trouble, I don’t care whether you’re a woman or not!”
He stepped forward aggressively, his fist almost touching Li Su’s nose.
“That bastard son of yours too—always acting pitiful. What, trying to cling onto Jianchen and make him a free father? Li Su, you’re disgusting!”
Those words completely triggered Li Su.
When she founded the company, she had already cut ties with the Li family. No one knew she was the daughter of the Li Group. Only Shen Jianchen and Lin Tianrou knew—but instead of exposing it, they had hidden it and stolen her achievements.
She looked at Zhao Qiang’s arrogant face, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
She activated her skill.
【Skill activated: Even openly taking it—it’s still mine! Acquired: Boxer’s Golden Left Hand (33%)!】
Zhao Qiang used to boast that he had trained in boxing for 15 years. His left punch could reach 360 jin of force at 12 meters per second—his signature finishing move.
And now, one-third of that power belonged to Li Su.
120 jin of force, 4 meters per second speed—more than enough to crush an ordinary adult.
She subtly flexed her left hand, feeling the strange yet familiar surge of power. A quiet satisfaction rose within her.
Zhao Qiang was still spitting insults.
“Listen up! Either you get out yourself, or I’ll throw you out!”
He raised his left fist—his proud “golden left hand,” the one that had once knocked out opponents of his level.
The fist came crashing down.
At the very moment it was about to land—
Li Su moved.
She tilted her body slightly.
Her left hand shot out like lightning.
A perfect straight left struck Zhao Qiang’s temple.
Bang!
A dull impact sound rang out.
Zhao Qiang’s arrogant expression froze instantly. His eyes widened in disbelief. His brain went blank as if struck by a heavy hammer.
Then his body collapsed straight backward and hit the floor heavily—unconscious in an instant, not even managing a groan.
The entire conference room fell into dead silence.
Everyone stared at Li Su as if they had seen a ghost.
“One… one punch?”
Wu Xiaomei’s voice trembled.
“Zhao Qiang is a professional boxer!”
“EWD third place… and she knocked him out in one hit?!”
“How is that possible?! Since when could she fight like this?”
Lin Tianrou’s face turned pale. She instinctively looked at Shen Jianchen, panic in her eyes.
Shen Jianchen frowned deeply. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke.
“When I used to take boxing classes, Li Su followed me for a few months to chase me. She probably just hasn’t forgotten what she learned.”
As soon as he said this, everyone understood—and their eyes filled with even more contempt.
“So she learned it just to chase a man? How cheap.”
“She only trained for a few months and dared to challenge a professional? If Zhao Qiang hadn’t held back, she’d already be on the ground.”
“Exactly. And Zhao Qiang is left-handed—his left is his strongest. He was definitely going easy on her!”
Li Su listened to their twisted logic and actually smiled.
Zhao Qiang’s left hand might indeed be weaker now—because 33% of its strength and ability had already become hers.
She rotated her wrist slightly, then looked at everyone coldly.
“Can I speak now?”
Her gaze landed on Lin Tianrou and Shen Jianchen.
“I’ll say this again. The investments were not brought in by me—but 80% of this company’s shares belong to me.”
“Today, I will take 80% of the proceeds from the company sale.”
“What?! 80%?”
Lin Tianrou’s expression instantly changed. Tears welled up again as she crouched beside Zhao Qiang, shaking his arm gently.
“Su Su… we can talk about money properly. Why did you have to hit someone? What if something happens to Zhao Qiang? What am I supposed to do?”
Feng Wanli stood up with a dark expression.
“Li Su, so you really came to take everything for yourself! Now I finally understand why Jianchen broke up with you. Not only did you have a bastard child, you’re also vicious—it’s disgusting.”
Wu Xiaomei chimed in immediately.
“After so many years of friendship, you went too far! Zhao Qiang still hasn’t woken up. We won’t even ask for medical fees or lost wages—just compensate us with your abandoned mine. That should be enough.”
At the word “mine,” Shen Jianchen and Lin Tianrou’s eyes lit up instantly.
Greed showed without concealment.
Li Su almost laughed.
So that was it.
No wonder they insisted on calling her here to “split the money.”
Their real target was never the company sale at all—it was the Li family’s abandoned mine.
With that mine, they could survive extreme cold and extreme heat and store massive supplies. It was the perfect apocalypse shelter.
How disgusting.
Always wanting everything.
