Chapter 146: Don’t Get Lucky
Xu Jingyi was stunned by Xia Chenge’s terrifying gaze, as if his dirtiest secrets had been seen through, filling him with fear and unease.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re illegally detaining me!” Xu Jingyi suppressed the fear in his heart, trying his best to appear calm. “You’re still young, don’t be too impulsive about certain things, or it will ruin your life!”
“Am I still the Xia Chenge who could be kneaded like soft dough?” Xia Chenge chuckled. “Unfortunately, the Xia Chenge standing before you is no longer the timid and cowardly Xia Chenge of the past.”
“What you owe our Xia family must be repaid!”
A stack of documents was thrown at Xu Jingyi.
When had Xu Jingyi ever suffered such humiliation? He flew into a rage: “Xia Chenge, you little slut, don’t push your luck. I don’t believe you can do anything! If pushed too far, even a rabbit will bite.”
“You’re clearly a mad dog, calling yourself a rabbit and insulting such a soft, cute animal. Before you start jumping around, you should look at those documents and prepare yourself!” Xia Chenge sneered.
Xu Jingyi gritted his teeth, his eyes red with the desire to choke Xia Chenge to death.
“Look!” Xia Chenge tilted her chin, urging him.
Xu Jingyi glared at her fiercely.
Xia Chenge stood up and suddenly pushed his head down, slamming him and the documents onto the conference table.
Everyone in the meeting room gasped. Even though it wasn’t them who were hit, they still felt a dull ache in their foreheads.
Xia Chenge, so ferocious!
They were like fallen leaves in the wind, drifting and despairing.
Xu Jingyi could no longer maintain his hypocritical facade, his eyes bloodshot as he raised his hand to slap her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his hand, he was suddenly thrown out of his seat and slammed hard against the wall.
Bang!
Everyone trembled, silenced by fear.
“I’ll kill you, you bitch!” Xu Jingyi had gone mad, the blood on his forehead a shocking sight.
“Everyone saw it, Xu Jingyi wanted to kill me!” Xia Chenge looked around and said calmly, not even looking at Xu Jingyi, and kicked him.
Xu Jingyi, who had attacked her, was sent flying again, hitting the wall and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense to the extreme, everyone was drenched in cold sweat, not daring to breathe, afraid of provoking the female demon.
Xia Chenge wasn’t human, she was a little devil!
“Keep attacking!” Xia Chenge walked up to Xu Jingyi, looking down at him condescendingly.
“You, don’t come any closer!” Xu Jingyi’s face was covered in blood, terrified by Xia Chenge’s skills. He clearly knew he was no match for her and lost all his previous arrogance, shrinking into the corner in fear.
No wonder the killers he hired all failed. It turned out she had been hiding her strength so deeply, possessing such terrifying combat skills!
When did this start? Why was he completely unaware?
Xu Jingyi was shivering all over, waves of fear washing over him.
“Are you asking for it? I told you to look at the documents, but you insisted on fighting me. Now look, you tried to steal a chicken and ended up losing the rice, do you regret it?” Xia Chenge’s voice was filled with mockery.
“Look! Read it word for word carefully!” Xia Chenge took the documents picked up by Wei Lixin and threw them forcefully at Xu Jingyi’s face.
Xu Jingyi didn’t dare to resist at all, his hands trembling as he opened the documents.
Then, the fear of death surged like a tide, completely drowning him.
Impossible, impossible, how could Xia Chenge have found out the truth about Xia Mingxuan’s death back then?
It must be fake, it must be fake! Xu Jingyi shook his head frantically, his eyes widening, until finally, in utter despair, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from sheer terror.
Before losing consciousness, his only thought was: This time, death is truly imminent!
The meeting room was dead silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Xia Chenge looked at the managers who had entered with arrogant swagger, now trembling with anxiety, their heads bowed, not daring to meet Xia Chenge’s gaze.
Xia Chenge signaled Wei Lixin to treat Xu Jingyi’s wounds. Her actions were measured; she wouldn’t let Wei Lixin die, but she also didn’t want the police to think she was too brutal.
Afterward, she began to tap the conference table intermittently.
The sound wasn’t loud, but it struck the managers’ hearts heavily, making them tremble all over.
Xia Chenge didn’t speak again. She stared at them with a half-smile, applying psychological pressure.
Ten minutes later, the managers finally couldn’t bear the psychological torment and one after another, they knelt down before Xia Chenge:
“Young Lady, I know I was wrong. I was coerced by Xu Jingyi into doing things that harmed the group’s interests. Please, Young Lady, investigate carefully.”
“I deserve to die, please give me a chance, Young Lady. I’m willing to return all my wealth to the company. Please, Young Lady, be merciful and don’t sue me.”
“Please, Young Lady, give me a chance to atone for my mistakes. I still have a lot of evidence of Xu Jingyi’s embezzlement of public funds. Please spare me, Young Lady, I’m willing to testify for you!”
…
Listening to the wails in the meeting room, Xia Chenge’s expression remained unchanged, showing no emotion.
As the managers wailed, they didn’t hear the little devil speak, and their voices gradually grew quieter. They knelt on the ground, shaking like sieves.
Who would have thought that the idiot and waste everyone talked about, the heir they completely disregarded, would be so terrifying, using decisive and forceful methods to directly cut off their escape routes?
After an unknown amount of time, just as the managers were about to break down, Xia Chenge finally opened her mouth slowly: “Are you trying to negotiate with me?”
“Young Lady, I wouldn’t dare!”
“I just want to make amends for my mistakes.”
“Young Lady, please be merciful.”
…
“Heh…” Xia Chenge smiled enigmatically. “Still harboring hope at this point? I didn’t even show mercy to Xia Minglan, let alone you parasites!”
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat: she had seen through their thoughts!
“Do you think Sheng Xia can’t operate normally without you?” Xia Chenge asked indifferently again.
Upon hearing this, everyone shivered.
“Don’t worry, this will absolutely not happen!” Xia Chenge said cruelly. “Competent individuals will replace you and work hard for Sheng Xia!”
“Call the police.” Xia Chenge then turned to instruct Wei Lixin.
Wei Lixin appeared calm, but in reality, he was also terrified by her actions.
He still hadn’t recovered from the shock that Xia Chenge had dared to dismantle Xu Jingyi’s decade-long influence within Sheng Xia, eradicating it completely!
He felt as if he were dreaming as he made the call to the police. It wasn’t until the police took all the managers away that he truly felt that all of this was real.
“Uncle Wei, handle the rest. Temporarily do not accept media interviews. There will be more explosive news tomorrow.” Xia Chenge’s exquisitely beautiful face was filled with a mysterious smile, making it impossible to associate her with the little devil from moments ago.
“What explosive news?” Wei Lixin felt his heart couldn’t keep up. This Young Lady really knew how to play with people’s heartbeats!
