C116 You Went to the Street and Killed Zhang Qimo

Wang Guokang maintained his reserved smile and gave a slight nod.

"From now on, Ziwen, you'll remain at Zhang's Jewelry Corporation as the chairman," Wang Guokang stated deliberately.

Wang Ziwen beamed and shot a knowing glance at Zhang Hongxuan.

"Ahem," Zhang Hongxuan cleared his throat, turning to address the shareholders. "All shareholder positions will remain unchanged. However, I must announce something significant. Zhang Qimo, the Vice Chairman, lacks the qualifications to serve as an executive director or Vice Chairman. Her rise to power is solely due to her association with Chairman Wu."

"Therefore, I hereby declare at the Board of Directors meeting that Zhang Qimo is stripped of all her positions and will be dismissed immediately!"

"Zhang Qimo, you may leave now! Exit the Precious Cauldron Tower!" Zhang Hongxuan commanded coldly. "And your assistant, Lin Yin, that incompetent, is also fired!"

"You! On what grounds?" Zhang Qimo exclaimed, visibly startled. She hadn't anticipated such a drastic internal shift, nor that Chairman Wu would be ousted.

And now Zhang Hongxuan was about to expel her from the corporation?

Why? She had dedicated herself tirelessly to designing numerous jewelry lines for the company, generating significant buzz. Why should they, with their greater influence, usurp the fruits of her success?

"Why? Because I'm the executive director! If I say you're out, you're out! Leave immediately!" Zhang Hongxuan declared pompously.

"Hey, Director Zhang, let's keep it civil," Wang Ziwen interjected with feigned courtesy.

"Indeed, Chairman Wang is correct," Zhang Hongxuan agreed obsequiously.

"Qimo, it's quite simple. Join me for dinner tonight," Wang Ziwen suggested with a sly tone. "I'll look after you. Forget the minor role of Vice Chairman; if you want to be the chairman of Zhang's Jewelry Group, I can make it happen!"

"How about it? It's just one dinner," Wang Ziwen coaxed with a sinister grin, his eyes betraying his avarice.

"You people!" Zhang Qimo felt an immense insult. She was all too aware of the implications behind Wang Ziwen's words.

"You're dreaming if you think I'll just resign because you say so! I couldn't care less!" Zhang Qimo fumed. She flung her Vice Chairman nameplate from the desk and stormed out of the office.

She felt deeply wronged and humiliated on a personal level.

"Hmph! Ungrateful wretch!" Wang Ziwen sneered, his gaze growing darker by the second.

Five minutes later.

Zhang Qimo exited the Precious Cauldron Tower, still seething with rage. Wu Zheng had parked the car at the curb and stepped out to open the door for her.

But just then, a line of suited bodyguards charged forward, blocking her path.

"What do you think you're doing?" Zhang Qimo exclaimed, startled. She couldn't understand why these imposing men had suddenly appeared.

"Haha, Qimo, why the rush? I only suggested we have a meal together," Wang Ziwen said as he sauntered up, flanked by the stern-faced Wang Guokang.

"Wang Ziwen, I've already said I won't dine with you. What is it that you want?" Zhang Qimo demanded, her face ablaze with fury.

"What do I want? I want you, of course!" Wang Ziwen declared brazenly.

"Take this woman to my villa, and make sure the camera is ready! Tonight, I'm going to have my way with her!" he commanded, his eyes brimming with lechery.

Wang Ziwen was thrilled at the thought of having this stunning beauty in his bed that evening.

That good-for-nothing Lin Yin had the audacity to kneel before him at the community entrance, all thanks to Wang Hongling's influence, and even had the incident recorded! He'd get his revenge by taking Lin Yin's wife and sharing the footage online!

"What? Have you lost your mind, you animal!" Zhang Qimo was petrified by Wang Ziwen's deranged speech. She couldn't believe someone could be so depraved.

"Animal? You won't be calling me that tonight. You're quite loud; save some of that energy for later," Wang Ziwen taunted, spewing vile words.

As he spoke, a dozen bodyguards in suits surged forward, intent on forcibly taking Zhang Qimo away.

Bang!

At that moment, Wu Zheng, towering at 1.9 meters, charged in and kicked several suited bodyguards out of the way.

"What do you think you're doing in broad daylight?" Wu Zheng demanded furiously. Not only was he Chairman Zhang's driver and bodyguard, but as an ex-soldier, he couldn't stand by and watch this kind of behavior.

"You're asking for it! Beat him to a pulp!" Wang Ziwen shouted in rage.

A dozen burly bodyguards swarmed Wu Zheng, unleashing a barrage of blows. Wu Zheng, skilled in combat, was overwhelmed by the sheer number of professional fighters. After taking down three or four, a sneak attack sent him to the ground.

"I'm warning you, if you dare hurt Chairman Zhang, Director Lin will make sure you regret it!" Wu Zheng snarled through clenched teeth.

"Oh, Lin Yin, that loser? What can he do besides leech off Wang Hongling?" Wang Ziwen said contemptuously. Mentioning Lin Yin brought a venomous glare to his eyes.

"Ziwen, is this Lin Yin's wife?" Wang Guokang sneered. "You dare to insult him using his daughter? You're clueless. The Old Master is already aware and has confined Wang Hongling to the Wang Family estate. What good is that freeloader now?"

Zhang Qimo was ashen-faced, desperate to escape, but she was hemmed in by a wall of bodyguards in suits, with no way out.

"Heh, Qimo, forget about leaving. You'll be entertaining me tonight," Wang Ziwen said, rubbing his hands together and salivating.

"You're a monster, living in a fantasy!" Zhang Qimo yelled, shaking with fury.

"Ha, still playing the innocent? You whore!" Wang Ziwen scoffed. "Don't think I'm unaware of how quickly you rose through the ranks at Zhang's Group, becoming Vice Chairman thanks to Wu Yang. Are you going to deny your affair with him?"

"For your position, who knows how many times you've sold yourself? You'd sell out to Wu Yang, so why not me?" Wang Ziwen leered menacingly.

"You're slandering me! You're spouting absolute nonsense!" Zhang Qimo was livid, feeling utterly insulted.

"Son, why bother talking so much with her?" Wang Guokang chided, then shockingly suggested, "Is it really that much trouble to sleep with a woman? You've been chasing her for so long and still haven't gotten her? You're pathetic!"

"You don't need to bring her back!" Wang Guokang said with a cold laugh. "Son, just go rape Zhang Qimo on the street. Make sure to record it!"

"Dad?" Wang Ziwen was taken aback but seemed intrigued. "Your approach is always superior!"

"Heh, don't worry. A trivial matter like raping a woman is something the Wang Family can handle," Wang Guokang said with a sly grin. "I don't believe she'd dare to make this public. If she behaves and becomes a docile canary for you, fine. If not, we'll throw her into a brothel and sell her off."

Wang Guokang sneered, reminiscing about his younger days when he had done such things countless times. His foolish son, spending money to pursue a woman? Rape would be simpler.

"You're an animal, both you and your son are animals!" Wu Zheng erupted in anger, appalled by the shamelessness of the father and son duo.

"Qimo, here I come!" Wang Ziwen said with a sinister smile, lunging to grab Zhang Qimo. He only managed to snatch her jacket, pulling it open.

Beneath her jacket, Zhang Qimo wore a white shirt that highlighted her impeccable figure, making Wang Ziwen's eyes gleam with greed.

Fleeing a few steps, Zhang Qimo was both terrified and enraged. She had already dialed a number, the one Lin Yin had given her before his departure.

"Hello, Mrs. Lin, what can I do for you?" came the respectful voice of Shen San from the other end of the line.
