Under the sparse starlight, chilly breezes blew in waves.
A car flickered past the villa’s streetlight, and the Wen family’s butler glanced at it before swiftly rushing into the house.
"President Wen, Assistant Chen is here," he reported.
Wen Qing, who was looking through documents, frowned and glanced up at the assistant.
The assistant’s expression stiffened, suddenly recalling the matter he had reported ten minutes earlier.
"President Wen, we lost contact with those two people."
"Did Lin Zhiyi and Third Young Master meet?" asked Wen Qing.
"They did meet. Here’s a photo, Third Young Master really risked his life to save Lin Zhiyi."
The assistant handed over the photo.
Wen Qing looked at the photo, nodding in satisfaction, "The kind of people who do anything for money vanish, saving us trouble, as long as my goal is achieved."
The assistant worriedly said, "What if Miss Sang finds out, won’t she... "
Before he could finish, Wen Qing’s piercing gaze swept across.
"I’m helping Sang Ran. If she can’t securely hold the position of Third Madam, what other use does she have for me in the future?"
"Yes," the assistant dared not say more.
After that, the assistant continued reporting on the company affairs.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chen Jin arrived.
Wen Qing closed the documents, looking calmly at the butler, "Let Assistant Chen in."
The butler nodded, but he retreated two steps in shock at the sight that met him.
Two men had been thrown in front of Wen Qing, bound hand and foot.
Wen Qing stood up in shock, displeased, "Assistant Chen, what is the meaning of this?"
Chen Jin adjusted his leather gloves, his expression calm, "Don’t worry, President Wen. Third Young Master asked me to bring them here to explain the whole story to you in detail."
After saying that, the two men on the ground looked up at Wen Qing, begging for help.
But Wen Qing turned aside, feigning calm, "Third Young Master has quite the sense of humor. I don’t recognize them, why should I listen to them? Take them away, I have work to do."
Chen Jin approached the two men, "Since President Wen doesn’t recognize them, then it is easier. Originally, Third Young Master instructed me to give you some respect, but it seems unnecessary now."
"You..."
Wen Qing’s voice stopped abruptly, her pupils dilating.
Instead, the painful screams of the two men filled the room.
The palms of the two men were brutally impaled and pinned onto the coffee table in front of Wen Qing.
Assistant Gong Shiyan was rumored not only to be able to write with both hands at the same time but also to wield a knife with unparalleled precision.
Blood trailed across the coffee table, finally dripping onto Wen Qing’s white high heels, a frightful sight.
She desperately tried to move but found herself unable to take a single step.
Chen Jin put away the dagger, handed his gloves to the person behind him.
"President Wen, I’ve taught them a lesson on your behalf since they dared to slander you, to prevent them from spreading rumors about you. I won’t bother you any longer," he said.
Before Wen Qing could recover her senses, Chen Jin left with his men.
At the doorway, he suddenly turned back to look at Wen Qing.
"President Wen, Third Young Master asked me to remind you, these men are desperate, they only recognize money, not faces, be careful."
"..."
Wen Qing was just about to retort when the figures had already vanished from her sight.
Furious and wanting to lash out, she looked down to see the bloodstained table and her own high heels stained red.
She took off her shoes and flung them away, sneering, "To think you can threaten me like this? Ridiculous!"
At that moment, the assistant received a phone call. As soon as the person on the line finished speaking, her face turned pale.
"President Wen, the cooperation deal we finalized earlier has been suddenly canceled."
Wen Qing’s expression turned menacing. Without much thought, she knew who was behind it.
She took several deep breaths forcefully, slowly regaining her composure.
The next second, she turned to the assistant.
"What’s the word from Second Young Master?"
The assistant, somewhat intimidated by Wen Qing, spoke in a low voice, "Nothing, Second Young Master doesn’t seem to care much about his position in the Gong Group, spending his days relaxing everywhere with Liu He."
"Useless! And to think I even considered lifting him a finger!" Wen Qing clenched her fist, her eyes flashing with malice, "Gong Shiyan, I will make you regret this!"
