"Chairman, last time the Qiao Group supplied us with goods worth a total of twenty million."
"However, because the quality of the goods was subpar, we refused to make the payment."
"Then, the CEO of Qiao Group, Qiao Qiumeng, approached me, hoping I could do her a favor..."
Before Zhao Heilong could ask what was going on, Yu Kaihe started speaking, going on and on.
"Moreover, this Qiao Qiumeng even tried to seduce me, but who am I? I'm a loyal subordinate of yours, Chairman, always devoted to the cause!"
"Of course, I rejected her on the spot, but unexpectedly, she became furious and set me up, bringing her husband over to beat me up."
"Look at these injuries on my face, they're all from her husband!"
As Yu Kaihe spoke, he pointed to his face, which was covered in blood and bruises.
Zhao Heilong impatiently frowned, and Qiao Qiumeng, hearing Yu Kaihe slander her, couldn't help but become anxious.
Ignoring her fear, she quickly stepped forward to Zhao Heilong, bowed, and said, "Mr. Zhao, don't listen to his nonsense."
"Those goods worth twenty million had no issues at all; he's just deliberately making things difficult for our company..."
"And what he said about me trying to seduce him is a lie. He actually wanted to use his position to impose some disgusting unspoken rules."
"My husband hit him because he laid hands on me first. I still have injuries on my face! If you don't believe me, take a look!"
Zhao Heilong waved his hand, directly interrupting Qiao Qiumeng's defense, with a cold smile on his face, saying, "Do I need to care who's right or wrong between you?"
Qiao Qiumeng was taken aback.
Zhao Heilong coldly said, "At the entrance of my Heilong Chamber of Commerce, hitting my people is your fault!"
"If you dare to have someone hit him here, then you're disrespecting me, Zhao Heilong!"
"Do you think I need to listen to your explanations?"
As he spoke, Zhao Heilong leaned slightly forward, staring into Qiao Qiumeng's eyes with an overwhelming presence, sneering, "I don't give a damn!"
Yu Kaihe, standing to the side, couldn't help but feel smug. Zhao Heilong was known for protecting his own, and even if the other party had a good reason, Zhao Heilong would definitely deal with them if they dared to beat someone at the chamber's entrance!
"Chairman Zhao has always been like this, exuding dominance, not listening to any reasoning."
"Yeah, last time, someone from the chamber made a mistake and got beaten by an outsider. But Chairman Zhao didn't say a word and directly crippled the person's hands!"
"Reasoning with Chairman Zhao is futile; he only looks at people, not the situation, and is extremely domineering!"
Zhao Heilong's words didn't surprise the onlookers; they seemed to have expected this outcome all along.
Qiao Qiumeng was so intimidated by Zhao Heilong's aura that she subconsciously stepped back a few steps, bumping into Qi Dengxian's arms with a thud.
Qi Dengxian reached out to steady Qiao Qiumeng, looking at Zhao Heilong with a faint smile.
Zhao Heilong snorted coldly, raising his eyes to meet Qi Dengxian's gaze.
As soon as their eyes met.
Zhao Heilong's body trembled violently, and his sunglasses almost fell off his face.
"I did my best!" Qiao Qiumeng gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.
Qi Dengxian smiled and nodded, then slightly squinted his left eye.
Having spent five years in Youdu Prison, how could Zhao Heilong not recognize the second-in-command's habit of making this gesture before dealing with someone?
He still vividly remembered how Qi Dengxian had taken him down with one hand and then had those lackey-like inmates help tie him up and hang him on a lamppost for three days and nights.
Due to Qi Dengxian's peculiar "hobby" of hanging people upside down, the inmates, having experienced it themselves, were more than happy to help the second-in-command deal with unruly newcomers.
"Fuck, it's really him... the one I saw at the sports club that day was also him!" At that moment, Zhao Heilong felt his calves cramping, almost unable to stand.
Zhao Heilong certainly wouldn't think that just because he was out of prison and more powerful, he could dare to challenge Qi Dengxian.
Fuck, everyone in Youdu Prison is a big shot, even those who illegally trade nuclear warheads!
Could he afford to mess with the second-in-command who could handle those fierce criminals with ease?
"Damn!"
Zhao Heilong suddenly cursed, clenching his fists.
"Chairman Zhao is angry; the Qiao Family is probably doomed this time!"
"It's been a long time since I've seen Chairman Zhao so furious; these two are in for it." This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
"Scary, everyone should keep their distance to avoid provoking Chairman Zhao's wrath."
Yu Kaihe, on the side, was full of smugness, saying to Qiao Qiumeng and Qi Dengxian, "You two, aren't you going to kneel and beg Chairman Zhao for mercy?"
"For ants like you, it's already a privilege for me to meet you, and you dare to lay hands on me?"
"Now that Chairman Zhao is here, let's see how arrogant you can be!"
"Slap!"
Zhao Heilong turned and punched Yu Kaihe in the face, sending him flying. After hitting the ground, he slid three to five meters away.
Yu Kaihe was punched so hard that his teeth shattered, spitting out several bloody molars, looking at Zhao Heilong in disbelief.
Zhao Heilong caught up and kicked Yu Kaihe in the stomach, cursing, "I pay you to work at the Heilong Chamber of Commerce to make money for me, not to use my name to throw your weight around!"
"Would a capable heroine like President Qiao really try to seduce you? Look at yourself in the mirror!"
"Using your little power to bully others and tarnish the reputation of our Heilong Chamber of Commerce, huh? Today, I'll cripple you!"
Yu Kaihe was beaten to the point of crying for his parents, curling up on the ground, begging, "Chairman, I won't dare anymore, please forgive me, give me another chance..."
The surrounding people were stunned, the plot twist was too fast!
As Zhao Heilong kicked Yu Kaihe, his back was already drenched in cold sweat, forced to pretend not to recognize Qi Dengxian, acting all righteous while continuing to list Yu Kaihe's crimes, delivering more kicks.
"This bastard dared to hit the second-in-command's wife; he's trying to get me killed!" Zhao Heilong wished he could beat Yu Kaihe to death on the spot.
Qiao Qiumeng was stunned, her eyes wide open, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Meanwhile, Li Yunwan, sitting in the café, was trembling with excitement, spilling some coffee.
"Hit the jackpot, hit the jackpot, and it's a national treasure-level jackpot!" Li Yunwan's lips trembled, almost incoherent, taking a long time to finish her sentence.
She had been observing closely, noting how Zhao Heilong's attitude shifted from arrogance when he got out of the car to shock, then fear, and now impotent rage...
All these changes started from the moment he laid eyes on Qi Dengxian.
