As the Young Master of Xingyi Pavilion, Lin Dongqiang could practically have anything he wanted in all of Xuancheng. No woman who caught his eye had ever managed to escape his grasp.
He firmly believed that the Ice Queen CEO before him would be no exception!
Hmm?
Lin Dongqiang vaguely sensed that someone was staring at Chen Qingxue incessantly, so he swept his gaze around the room.
"Crow, gouge out that pretty boy's eyes!"
Lin Dongqiang was furious.
In his mind, Chen Qingxue was already his woman. Any other man who so much as glanced at her was showing him disrespect!
"Yes, sir!"
A burly man with slanted bangs hanging over his forehead strode toward Li Junye.
Seeing this, many of the employees looked at Li Junye with sympathy.
Especially the female employees!
They wanted to step forward and face the danger alongside Li Junye, hoping they might win his affection. However, the moment they remembered Lin Dongqiang's powerful background, they immediately abandoned the idea!
A handsome man was certainly important, but not as important as their own lives!
"Fugui, we've seen plenty of ruthless lunatics who don't care whether they live or die, but idiots this eager to get themselves killed are pretty rare!"
"You can say that again."
Unlike everyone else, Gou Fugui and Wu Xiangwang looked at Lin Dongqiang with nothing but pity!
"Lin Dongqiang, this is my company! If you dare cause any more trouble, I'll notify the Legal Affairs Bureau immediately!!"
Chen Qingxue suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Li Junye, forcibly blocking Crow's path.
"Is this pretty boy your kept man?"
Lin Dongqiang's face turned livid. He even felt as though he'd been cuckolded.
"Nothing decent ever comes out of that filthy mouth of yours!"
Chen Qingxue responded indifferently, her voice carrying an indescribable chill.
Lin Dongqiang snorted coldly. "This company may still be yours for now, but it won't be for much longer. You might be able to protect this pretty boy for a while, but can you protect him for the rest of his life?"
With that, he waved his hand. "Let's go!"
Before leaving, however, he made sure to cast Li Junye a mocking glance.
It was as though he were saying: Brat, you're as good as dead!
"Who the hell said you could leave?"
A domineering voice echoed throughout the hall.
Lin Dongqiang stopped and turned around, glaring furiously. "Brat, what did you just say?"
"Fugui, are you going to handle this, or should I?"
As one of Li Junye's trusted confidants, how could Wu Xiangwang possibly fail to understand what his boss was thinking?
Gou Fugui shrugged and said disdainfully, "A small fry like this isn't worth my time. I'll leave him to you!"
Wu Xiangwang glared at her and snapped irritably, "Would it kill you to stop showing off?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he lunged toward Lin Dongqiang in a single swift stride.
"You're courting death!"
Crow reacted swiftly, immediately sidestepping Chen Qingxue to block Wu Xiangwang's path while throwing a powerful punch at him.
Wu Xiangwang looked thoroughly unimpressed and met the attack with a punch of his own.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Crack!"
Their fists collided.
"Aaargh!"
Crow's towering, 1.8-meter-tall frame was sent flying backward. He landed on the ground, clutching his arm and writhing in excruciating pain.
The astonishing display of skill left everyone stunned!
"Ptooey... Trash!"
Wu Xiangwang dusted off his clothes, then spat directly into Crow's face with unerring accuracy.
Lin Dongqiang stood completely frozen, too shocked to utter a word.
He knew exactly how capable Crow was. Taking on a dozen or more ordinary people single-handedly would have been no problem for him. Yet now, someone had crippled him with a single punch!
Hiss... Haa...
Li Junye lit a cigarette and said calmly, "Break both his legs and throw him out!"
"As you command!"
Wu Xiangwang chuckled sinisterly as he approached Lin Dongqiang, one step at a time.
"Stay back! I'm the Young Master of Xingyi Pavilion!"
"If you dare lay a finger on me, your entire family will die with you!"
Lin Dongqiang was beginning to panic. In his desperation, he immediately revealed his identity.
"Oh, wow! What an impressive identity! I'm shaking in my boots!"
"Bang—"
"Crack!"
Wu Xiangwang moved so quickly that no one even saw what happened. All they heard was the crisp sound of bones snapping, and the next moment, Lin Dongqiang was lying on the ground, unable to stand.
"My legs!"
"Aaargh! My legs..."
The Young Master of Xingyi Pavilion, who had been so arrogant and high-spirited just moments earlier, was now howling incessantly like a dying dog.
Following Li Junye's orders, Wu Xiangwang grabbed Crow with one hand and Lin Dongqiang with the other, then tossed them both out through the main entrance as effortlessly as if they were little chicks.
Although everything seemed to have unfolded slowly, less than two minutes had actually passed.
Even Chen Qingxue, who had witnessed her fair share of extraordinary scenes, was deeply shaken by what had just happened.
Her gaze settled on Li Junye, studying him carefully!
He had an imposing presence and an elegant, distinguished bearing.
A man like him was impossible to forget after seeing him once. Therefore, Chen Qingxue was certain she had never met him before.
"Who are you?"
Chen Qingxue asked warily.
"Ahem! Listen carefully. Our Young Master is..."
"Keep a low profile!"
Gou Fugui was just about to reveal Li Junye's identity when the latter abruptly cut her off.
Li Junye strode up to Chen Qingxue with an exceptionally suave gait and said solemnly, "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Li Junye. If you're Chen Qingxue, then I should be your fiancé."
Fiancé!
That single word was like a bomb dropped into the depths of the ocean, instantly setting off an uproar.
"The President actually has a fiancé!"
"Even though I really like that handsome guy, I have to admit that he and the President make a much better match!"
"Exactly! They're practically the perfect couple, talented and beautiful..."
The employees watching the scene whispered among themselves.
"You helped me get rid of an annoying fly, and while I'm very grateful, please show some respect and stop talking nonsense!"
A rare blush appeared on Chen Qingxue's face.
Putting aside the fact that she had no idea she even had a fiancé, even if she did have one, how could she possibly not know who he was?
At that moment, she concluded that this was simply some new approach he had come up with to pursue her. Without realizing it, her tone returned to its usual cold arrogance.
"You don't know that I'm your fiancé?"
Seeing that she didn't appear to be pretending, Li Junye looked somewhat astonished.
The address was correct, and so was the name. There was no way Old Old Li and Old Li would play a trick on him!
Chen Qingxue did not continue discussing the matter. Instead, she changed the subject. "I can tell you're no ordinary person, but I still have to warn you. That Lin Dongqiang is not someone to be trifled with!"
As she spoke, she took a check from her handbag, quickly wrote a string of numbers on it, and handed it to Li Junye. "Take this money and leave Xuancheng immediately!"
Li Junye did not accept the check. Instead, he waved to Gou Fugui and Wu Xiangwang, signaling for them to leave with him.
He needed to figure out whether he had found the wrong person!
Seeing this, a complicated expression appeared on Chen Qingxue's face.
A short while later.
Just as Li Junye and his two companions stepped out of the office building, more than twenty men in immaculate suits, each looking fierce and menacing, immediately surrounded them.
"You bastard! Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Lin Dongqiang was being supported by two men.
In just a few short minutes, he had gathered a large group of subordinates. He had even endured the excruciating pain rather than going to the hospital, all because he wanted to take revenge personally.
"Don't be afraid, Young Master. Fugui and I can take care of these small fries."
Wu Xiangwang patted his chest reassuringly.
Gou Fugui nodded in agreement. "Just give us ten minutes!"
Li Junye shot them both a glare and curled his lips. "When did I ever say I was afraid? Your Young Master here is incredibly strong, you know! Believe it or not, I could take out all these losers with a single punch!"
Hearing this, Gou Fugui and Wu Xiangwang exchanged glances. Their eyes seemed to convey the same thought to each other...
The Young Master seems to have gotten a little better at talking bullshit!
